Cover Reveal – A Taylor-Made Life

Kary Rader has a new book coming out shortly and we get to see her cover today!

A Taylor cover

Cheerleader Taylor Smith doesn’t want to die a virgin. Unfortunately, if the terminally-ill leukemia patient doesn’t find a lover or a stem-cell match within months, her fear will become reality. But when her cancer mentor is revealed to be a hottie entrepreneur from California, it seems fate might finally be on her side.

Tech-geek Gavin Taylor has everything he ever wanted, except someone to grieve for him when he’s gone. With his melanoma cancer beyond the help of his riches, he agrees to participate in a cancer patient mentoring program where he’s matched with a dying teen from Texas. Despite his immediate attraction, the Silicon Valley whiz intends only to provide friendship and happy memories to the beautiful, young woman who is determined to win his love.

When it’s discovered that his frozen sperm and her harvested eggs could lead to a cure, Taylor’s mother offers to be a surrogate. And Gavin must decide if he can risk the heart he has never given and a child he’ll never know to a girl he just met.

Cover Reveal – Luna Sanguis

It always exciting to see a gorgeous new cover!

Luna_Sanguis_Cover_Full_Resolution

Paris 1925. A young woman is nearing her Eternal Vampire state as her birthday approaches. She is held captive by the hybrid vampire she created and slowly drained of her pure blood to keep his addiction in check. She outwits him and escapes to a chateau in the hope of reaching maturity. But he follows her unmistakable scent and massacres all that dare protect his supply of Eternal blood.

She awakens in a tiny room trapped and defenseless with amnesia, but something deep in her subconscious yearns to be set free by the next full moon – the date of her Eternal Birthday. Her true self, Eternal, emerges in brief flashes of awareness to protect her from the horrors of this terrifying prison. Desperate, she forges an alliance with her true love, a gorgeous young doctor treating her.

But her nemesis is out there somewhere, relishing the hunt for her blood – and nothing will stop him from becoming Eternal.

I love early summer in the high desert. Before the triple digit weather hits and when it’s merely hot, not yet broiling. It’s a time to put the top down on the car more often and listen to oldies like the Beach Boys. A time to put away the hot cocoa, sipped in front of the fireplace and pull out the margaritas and mint juleps.

Summer means taking my poodle, Chloe, for morning walks, which aren’t as beneficial as I might like because she likes to stop and investigate – a lot. Tréa, the chihuahua, is getting to the age where she tires out and can’t make it very far. Her idea of walks means I pick her up and carry her. So she stays home more often than not.

Sometimes I ride my bike, although I admit I’m not getting that done as often as I’d like. Other times, I might go hiking, but again not often enough.

As the temps rise into those triple digits that means more visits to my brother’s house in Las Vegas, where lazy weekends are spent around or in the pool. Hanging out with my extended family and talking about everything and nothing. Sipping on whatever our drink of choice is that weekend.

At the pool, my brother’s chihuahua, Toby, can be seen carefully measuring the distance between the pool’s edge and the nearest raft before taking a leap onto someone’s stomach. He never misses either and enjoys floating from one end of the pool to the other.

Chloe can sometimes be coaxed into the water, but she doesn’t love it quite as much as I thought she might. Poodles are hunting dogs, specifically water fowl and I thought she’d love the water, but it’s more tolerance than love on her part. Of course, if you even mention going into the pool to Tréa, you can count on her to escape into the house and under a bed.

Chloe is ready to go!

Chloe is ready to go!

As you can tell, the dogs are a big part of my life. They travel very well, secure in their car seats, which makes it so much easier to just toss them into the car and go.

But summer isn’t all lounging outside or by the pool. It’s a great time to get some writing done, too. All the days I hide out from the heat, keeping cool inside. I’ve written both of my books over summer and I’m working on my third book in my series, The Thulukan Chronicles.

This summer promises to be as fabulous as the rest and one I can enjoy. You’ll find me by the pool with a margarita.

In the Spotlight – Loni Lynne

Loni Lynne 5 p12756ta105474_25Today’s guest is the delightful Loni Lynne! She’s the author of a brand new Paranormal Romance, Wanted: One Ghost. The premise of this book sounds so wonderful, I can’t wait to get the book and read it!

About Loni Lynne

Loni Lynne believes fate determines our lives and we are just along for the ride.  Holding on tight, she’s managed an eclectic life of moving all over the country in her youth, seeing sights and places her dreams still take her to every now and again. Writing stories since she was thirteen and dreaming of actually writing a book since that time, fate took over, giving her a chance to find material and experiences to write about.

Upon graduating high school, she served her country in the United States Navy where she met her United States Army hero/husband in his hometown of Annapolis, Maryland. After being stationed in Hawaii for their first four years together, they returned to settle in Maryland where they still live, Happily Ever After with their two princesses, who prefer to play with dragons instead of running from them.

Four years ago, as a birthday gift, her husband gave her a portable hard drive, a membership to Romance Writers of America, and the challenge to have a completed manuscript by her next birthday.  She did it and then some.  Now, she can’t stop writing.
