Cover Reveal for "The Gate" by KT Grant

A chance encounter between a successful author and a billionaire owner of an underground BDSM club, leads to the most pivotal relationship of their lives…

 

Erika Walsh has carried a torch for Christopher Milton, heir to her father’s publishing empire for years. After one steamy make out session she begins to wonder if it might develop into something more. But when M. L. Crawford, better known as Max, her father’s publishing rival, seeks her out at a society event, she’s drawn to his magnetic charisma and powerful demeanor. Their verbal bantering and innuendo laced overtones stir feelings she never knew existed, and soon Erika is consumed with knowing the real man under Max’s restrained public façade.

 

Erika’s sweet nature and naivety excites Max to near madness. He wants to train her in the art of seduction and make her succumb to his every wish and command…as his perfect submissive. Yet, Christopher is determined to keep Erika from becoming the latest victim of Max's sinister sexual hungers. He knows all too well what Max hides in his black soul and will stop at nothing to reveal all of Max’s secrets in order to protect the one thing he holds dear above all else- Erika.

 

Max’s dark desires scare yet arouse Erika, as he opens her eyes to a new bold world full of passion and ecstasy she never imagined until him. But the biggest question remains: Is Erika’s craving for Max just an illusion that transpires behind the walls of The Gate?

Excerpt and Cover Reveal for "Schiessl House" by M. Lauryl Lewis

The creepy tale is still months away from enchanting readers, but we have an excerpt to share. Plus, check out that awesomely eerie cover.
 
 CHAPTER ONE: DEATH COMES 

The truth is, I was born dead. It was a consequence, I was told, of my mother not loving me. It wasn't the doctors or the nurses who brought me back to life. It wasn't my mother wrapping her arms around my lifeless newborn body nor was it her aching heart reaching out in desperate need of knowing me. She never held me. She never named me. As the story goes, she refused to even look at me. It wasn't the miracle of modern technology that brought me back from the land of shadows and silence. It was my father's tears that brought me to life, nearly two hours after my birth.

     I grew up without either of my parents in my life.  Beyond that first day, I didn’t know either of them.  The woman who raised me said that she had been there at my birth and the hours that followed.  She had witnessed me draw my first breaths as my father held my cold blue body to his chest.  My mother had thought I was a child of the Devil, implanted within her womb by aliens from space.  My father felt compelled to care for her even in her insanity, so for my own safety he painfully left me behind to be cared for by others.  I was told that he sobbed in the end when they took me from him.  I had never really thought badly of him for his decision.  After all, my life so far had been one filled with happiness and love.  At least that’s what I told myself and the rest of the world.

Interview with NA Romance Author Chantal Fernando

Chantal Fernando is the sassy indie author behind the sexy New Adult romance series Resisting Love. The first book Chase had readers hungry for more. Kade, Ryder & James soon followed. Now, she's working on a hot new novel titled Spin My Love. Let's learn more about this cool young author and her tantalizing books...

Q: How long have you been writing and when did you decide to indie publish? What was the biggest hurdle in going it alone?

A: I have been writing my whole life. I always loved English in school and would write short stories. In high school I wrote a lot of poetry, and after school I started to write a few novels but didn’t end up finishing them. Chase is the first one I ever actually finished.

I decided to indie publish about a month before Chase was published. There was a lot of hurdles I faced, and I wouldn’t have made it without help from a lot of amazing people. I knew what I wanted to write, but I had no idea about the ins and outs of the self-publishing world. I asked a lot of questions.

Q: Starting with Chase, you wrote the Resisting Love series. Can you explain the idea behind the books? Where did the inspiration come from?

A: I was inspired by my baby sister, who moved to the city looking for a place to rent on short notice. She came home telling me how she found a place to stay with two hot guys. I took that idea and turned it into my own story.

Q: Do you plan to write more in the series? If so, how many books do you envision in the series?

A: I will be working on a spin-off series, starting with Saxon. I’m not sure how many I will write just yet :P

Q: You’re currently working on Spin My Love. Can you tell us about the book? When do you hope to share it with fans?

A: Spin My Love is a contemporary romance about two childhood friends. The idea came to me in a dream, and I can’t wait to share it with everyone. I’m hoping to release in November this year.

***Add Spin My Love to your "to read" shelf on Goodreads.

Q: What drew you to contemporary romance as a genre? Do you plan to branch out to other genres as your career progresses?

A: I love reading and writing contemporary romance. I have written some paranormal romance in the past, which I may consider finishing and publishing in the future, but right now I am happy writing this genre.

Q: How do you come up with the names for your characters?

A: Names off my baby name list that I never got to use, or just random names that come to me.

Q: Chicken or the egg question. Do you create a character and build around him/her? Or do you imagine a concept and create characters which fit the idea?

A: Good question! I’ve actually done both in different books. But usually I create the character and build around him or her.

Q: Do you use anything to inspire you while you’re writing? Music, visual aids, etc? Also have you found ideas come to you more freely in particular places or at certain times of the day?

A: Music definitely. I wake up in the middle of the night a lot with new ideas. Also while I’m in the shower lol.

Q: When an idea hits you, do you start writing immediately or plot it out first?

A: I jot notes down, even if it’s just on my phone.

Q: When you read less than fawning reviews, how do you know when to use the critique to improve your future writing and when do you chalk up the criticism as different strokes for different folks?

A: I try to take from reviews what I can. I’m always looking to improve, to get better, and to work harder.

Q: I’ve read criticism from particular bloggers (Fangs for the Fantasy being one) about the lack of people of color and different sexual orientations in fiction. Do you take this lack of diversity into consideration when creating plots and characters?

A: My heroine in Chase is half Sri Lankan. I myself am Sri Lankan, so I found it fun to add because I could add small pieces of my culture in.

Q: Do word counts mean anything to you? Do you find your books top out at around the same lengths?

A: I just write until it stops flowing. They usually end up being around the same length.

Q: How big a deal is writer’s block for you and what do you do to shake it off?

A: If I find that ideas aren’t coming to me, I take a break. I concentrate on something else, I try not to get stressed. It’s worked for me so far.

Q: What books did you enjoy most in 2012?

A: I love books by Kristen Ashley. Motorcycle Man was a fave of mine.

Q: What are you plans for 2013 as an indie writer?

A: I’m going to write, write, write. I love it. I want to finish the projects I’m working on and produce work that my readers will love.

I actually just hit publish on James book three in the series. It’s an early surprise as its official release date was on the 31st!
