ChristaCarol_Jones_Headshot_2013_medres

From the first time I saw the cover and title for this new book, Magicbound, I was intrigued. It’s always so cool when I find out that I actually know the author of a book I want to read. This one was a double pleasure because ChristaCarol Jones is part of group of authors I hang out with and I hadn’t remembered where I’d seen the book. What a fab surprise to find out it was written by a friend of mine! Please join me as I discover more about this new novel and the awesome author who wrote it.

In the Spotlight – Lucy Pireel

Photo on 2012-12-07 at 18.56I had the pleasure of stopping by Lucy Pireel’s last month and I’m thrilled she’s stopped by to chat with me today about her collection of short stories, Red Gone Bad! Twisted fairy tales? Right up my alley!

About Lucy Pireel

Lucy Pireel loves to write and read. She does not limit herself to one genre, but writes what she thinks would work for a story. At times it means writing Science Fiction, or fairy tales, while some are pure erotica.

She is glad to have successfully self-published her first three books, while editing her full-length, paranormal, erotic novel at the same time. Of course she writes more too; there are always new ideas for stories playing through her head, ranging from flash to full length novels.

Lucy enjoys long walks in the great outdoors, or twist herself into a pretzel while doing yoga. All to unwind after a day of writing, or editing. At the moment she lives in the UK and enjoys the country and its people very much. She’s very much a people person.

katie_osullivan_photoIt’s a pleasure to welcome my friend Katie O’Sullivan to the blog today.

In the Spotlight – Kary Rader

Kary Profile Pic

It’s time for another author feature and this time it’s the fabulous Kary Rader! Kary is an awesome person, fantastic writer and just loads of fun to interact with. How do I know this? Because she’s another one of my fellow authors from Crescent Moon Press and I got to interact with her quite a bit as she geared up today’s release of the Queen of Jastain. Now it’s time to share her new book with you and I think you’ll like it as much as I did!

Kary is a part-time Twitter sage, stay-at-home mother of three, and slave to the characters and worlds inside her head. Always creative, she’s drawn to stories with fantastical worlds and creatures. With a little bit of magic and divine guidance, there isn’t anything that can’t be accomplished with words. It’s the power of words that creates and destroys. Vanquishing evil and injustice while finding eternal love in the process is all in a day’s work. With the help of her critique partners and master cartographer imaginary places come to life.

Let’s find out more about Kary and Queen of Jastain!
