The Chosen: A Serendipity Falls Novella

by Gwen Hayes

Daniel "Morgue" Morgan hunts demons. And likes it--until the day Madigan Carter cuts through his life like a blade of sunshine. She is everything he isn't, and for the first time in his life, he questions his calling when it means he will be forced to turn Madigan into a killer. Just like him.

Madigan doesn't believe in demons, until the day she fends one off with her Louis Vuitton bag. She doesn't want to be an Expeller, and she really doesn't want to be trained by the most aggravating--and sexy-man she has ever met. When the Expeller instincts, and the unnatural hungers that go with them, threaten to overwhelm her humanity, will her connection to her mentor be enough save both their souls?

SheWolf

by Teresa D'Amario

A small town veterinarian has a big time problem. She's not human.

Plagued as a child with an extra-sensitive sense of smell, strength, and eyesight, Anna Callaway always thought she was special. But she didn't understand how special until she met Kieran Hunter.

He insists they are True Mates, but he's not human either. He's wolven.

Kieran is a protector of his race. No longer the Alpha of his pack, he spends his time searching out and punishing any who may reveal their race to humans. While patrolling, he finds two wolven about to kidnap Anna. He battles to protect her, but is surprised to find himself drawn to her in a way he never expected.
The couple must learn to deal with their differences before they can address their similarities. But when three men kidnap Anna, she must decide if she is to embrace the wolven way of life, or return to her quiet existence. And whether to abandon the man who claims her as his True Mate.

"I am pleased to say that I didn't think any of the stories detracted from the anthology, which is a rare thing in any anthology and a nearly unheard of thing in an anthology about BDSM... All of the stories were worth reading, and they varied enough to have a little taste of many different types of domination..."

SheWolf out now!

Hi Everyone. SheWolf is now available and with her comes a few specials. First, a little about what readers are saying:

SheWolf is awesome!~ herbalista from myspace

A dangerously spirited heroine and a sexy hero combine to make one whirlwind of a read. Teresa D’Amario has crafted a fun, steamy debut! ~ Larissa Ione, multi-published author

Teresa D'Amario has crafted a dynamic romance layered through with passion, provocation, and a mutual respect that is rare between fictional heroes and heroines. I'm especially in awe of this debut author's SheWolf - Anna sparkles with satisfyingly feminine strength! ~Emily Ryan-Davis Author of the Dragon Queen series

The tension is unmistakable, the action exciting, and the book will stay in your mind and on your shelf for a long time to come. Teresa D'Amario’s SheWolf is available at Freya’s Bower, so I suggest if you love romance, and especially if you love the paranormal, you head on over there for your copy today. ~Romance At The Heart

Tonight, to celebrate the release, and to let people know who and what we (uh oh, is that the royal we?) are, I'll be participating in the Midnite Seductions Author's chat at RomanceJunkies.com! So come join us! Have fun and let's talk good books!

In addition, we'll also be visiting the Talking Two Lips chat all day tomorrow during the day on their Yahoo Group! Drop on in if you're a member, and join up if you're not. (Of course, you can then drop in)

Shutterbug ebook trailer

Add to My Profile More Videos

Dan Russell's novella, Shutterbug, is a psychological thriller. You can also find his work in our horror anthology Decimate.

Wild Child Publishing has two new print books available: Weirdly: A Collection of Strange Tales and The Thorazine Mirrorball.

This afternoon I attended my first WCP book signing. As most of my authors live too far away for me to do this, I nearly burst with excitement to attend. Read Books and New Magazines, an independently owned bookstore in Los Angeles, hosted the occasion. Warm and friendly, the owners Jeremy and Deborah made everyone feel welcome. If they were located closer to where I live – Eagle Rock is over 20 miles away – I would patronize them. (Any of you Los Angelenos know what twenty miles means here, especially when you are looking at the 10, 110 and 5 freeways.) However, I encourage everyone in that area to look them up. Not only will you find some signed copies of The Thorazine Mirrorball still available -- you better hurry as I have a feeling they won’t last – but toddler readings on Saturday and other great books, magazines, and events. While they are primarily a used book dealer, they obviously carry local authors.

Needless to say, the book signing was a resounding success. Jack invited everyone back to his house for food, good company, another reading – this time by an actor – and jazz. Yes, Jack, with a few of his friends, played live jazz for his guests. As the actor read the excerpt, Jack and his friends accompanied him. I tell you, there’s nothing like listening to a well-written piece of literature with live music to enhance it.

Alas, I had to cut my visit short as my toddler and husband waiting for me at home…very impatiently, I might add.

Thank you, Jack, for allowing me to live vicariously through you. (smile)

Jack will be signing more books at another location. I will keep you posted.

You can read more about Jack and listen to some of his music at his website. The Thorazine Mirrorball is available at Wild Child Publishing in both print and ebook format.

First Review for DRAGONS' CHOICE

White Russian Highly recommends Dragons' Choice!

There is so much more going on in Sorcha’s Children: Dragons’ Choice than I have touched upon. Sub-plots abound—damn good ones too! I absolutely loved this fantasy tale and wholeheartedly hope that the other children’s lives will also be written about.

Yay! She wants to read about the other kids!!

Summary: A rich and delightful read. Ms. Mumford has an exceptional talent in making fantasy reality. Nothing is unbelievable; my mind accepted everything as fact, without question. Well done to Ms. Mumford in yet again making me believe that dragons do exist. Fantastic imagery, very good word use—a tale written with superb aplomb. I highly recommend Sorcha’s Children: Dragons’ Choice. A magnificent novel that I wished had gone on and on and on…

Is that not an awesome summary statement? And SIX champagne flutes to boot! Thanks for a wonderful review, White Russian! You've made my week!
