#99cents Sale! Remus's Revelation (Quasar Lineage Series #7) by Pearl Tate


Remus's Revelation

Remus

Happily committed and content in my harem, I assume I’m chosen to go after my brother Travek due to my faithfulness. I’m not excited to go off-planet, but I’ll serve my council mother and church Sacred Mother in whatever capacity they request.

When I arrive, I’m dismayed to see mating marks have developed on my chest, and the pull to meet the human female inspiring them keeps me distracted—and feeling guilty.

Do I let this mating progress and betray my Ermada? Is it possible to even deny a mating pull?

When her life is in danger, any rational thought disappears as instinct takes over…

Jo-Anne

Struggling to be “normal” at the college I’m attending, I find it aggravating to visit the shrink. She doesn’t understand or believe that I’ve been abducted by little, grey aliens.

When I’m sucked into their bright light while at a study group, I’m shocked that they’re abducting me from a room with other people—why can I suddenly remember not only this visit but dozens more? And who is this strange, new alien claiming I’m his mate?

Edge of the Universe by Gloria Sanford




Edge of the Universe


Oscar finds himself bored with the daily grind on board the Strome which is docked on a seemingly uninhabited planet. However, when he chances upon a strange alien creature lurking in the edges of the inhospitable wasteland, noting their obvious intelligence and human aspects, he smuggles him back aboard the ship out of sheer curiosity. However, little does Oscar suspect that the alien, Pyrosant, would make such an impression on him, and he soon realizes that he is developing feelings for him that he cannot deny.

Preorder the 4th book in the Henry Gallant series by H. Peter Alesso

commander hg blast banner

Commander Henry Gallant - EBookHe thought Alaina loved him, but now she’s found someone else. A tidal wave of loss and grief swept over Henry Gallant, leaving him undecided about what to do next, or how to move forward.

Despite his sorrow, he goes on a dangerous mission to an invading aliens’ home world in the Gliese-581 star system. There he uses a neural interface to penetrate their communication network and steal a high ranking alien’s identity. Through this artifice he learns about their history and society, and discovers a way to hinder and possibly defeat them.

A side-effect of linking into the alien network—which was created for autistic savants—is that Gallant’s mind was stimulated and enhanced to the point where he begins to experience superintelligence abilities.

Upon returning from his mission, there is concern that Gallant might pose an even more serious threat than the aliens. While he struggles to fend off those who doubt his loyalty, he fights to win back Alaina.

This is the fourth book of The Henry Gallant Saga, but it can be read as a standalone story.

Releases February 19th, 2016.

A chat with Teresa D'Amario, author of 'Visions of Fire & Ice (A Petri Novel)'



Tell us about your latest release.
Visions of Fire & Ice, a Petiri novel is my brand new series, and I am very excited about it. It starts in Egypt, and tells the story of a very long lived race who’ve hidden in the deepest recesses of Egypt for the last several thousand years. They each have their own special talents, and their goal is to return home. But when Ramose meets up with Tamara, he realizes his focus has to change, for the one and true Kha-Ib (Soul mate) is already here on this world. Things are more complicated when his evil brother takes an interest in Tamara, and before long they are caught in a battle between good and evil, gods and goddesses. I do love Egyptian mythology and the more this series develops, the more mythology will be incorporated.
What have you got coming soon for us to look out for?
I’m working now on the second in this series, though I haven’t titled it as of yet. When Amunkha heads to America to rebuild his life after the devastating events of book one, he does so to be alone. The gods of Egypt have come to remind us of their existence, and have other ideas of who and what Amunkha really is.
What song would you choose for Karaoke?
“I Will Survive”… however, you might want to run and hide or else your ears will bleed.
Which Star Trek or Star Wars character are you most like?
Probably more like Doctor Crusher. I’m independent, yet feminine, and ready to admit if I need help. But I like her strength, and remember seeing that spine of steel in my own self when I was in the military.
Who would you most like to be stranding on a desert island with? Least? Why?
That’s not fair! I’ve already been stranded on an island. Not exactly a desert island but it was deserted. Oh wait, it wasn’t even an island, it was a coral reef. Had the sunburn to prove it! I was there with hubby. Thing is, he’s no fun to be stranded with. He’s quite irritable! Me, I was sitting there imagining all kinds of plot ideas. He was standing at the edge of the reef glaring across the water at the rental agency across the way supposed to be coming to rescue us. By the way, did you know if you get really really badly sunburned, your knees can turn green? Who’d have thunk?

But it’s true. We were out on a sea doo, and the thing sunk. We ended up stranded on a reef in the Atlantic Ocean. Bad part of it (other than the sun burn and upset hubby) was that the tide was rising, and by the time they finally did get there for us, there was like 1 foot of sand and the rest was all prickly reef! So much for enjoying the 4 hours on the Bahamas on THAT trip.

As for who I’d rather be with? It’s a shame Patrick Swayze couldn’t redo his Ghost script for real. I’d wait.

Visions of Fire & Ice
by Teresa D’Amario

BLURB:

Trapped on a planet not their own, the Petiri spend their lives hiding the natural gifts that set them apart from the world. They live long and unfulfilled lives, unable to find their soul mates on this backward planet known as Earth. That is until the night Ramose comes face to face with Tamara, a woman whose gifts rival his own. Determined to find why this human is in possession of an ancient magical Petiri relic, he arranges a meeting.

But Tamara, embittered from past events, is wary despite lifelong dreams of Ramose and a sure knowledge he is her soul mate. Before long the couple find themselves ensnared in a battle that has raged for millennia in Egypt’s desert. Set, Egyptian God of Chaos, is determined to take his just due: the throne of Osiris.

The only way to stop him is for Ramose to put his trust in Tamara, but first must gain the same from her. The ensuing sensual relationship is filled with romance, lust and love. Their relationship is tested by an unnatural evil. Will her powers over fire, combined with his ice be enough to win the day? Or will the ancient gods and goddesses of Egypt destroy more than just their love?

Read an excerpt:
Tamara pulled out the costume with a grin. It was red. Fire red. Small bits of orange peeked beneath the folds, enhancing the image. This would be perfect for her youngest sister who always teased her about the fire she herself wielded. She held the costume before her, judging its size. A spark of energy caught her attention, and she raised her eyes to Ramose. He was moving toward her, his muscles tight, his face pale in the darkened light. But his eyes, they burned with unfettered need.

Tamara swallowed. Hard. Never in her life had she expected to see any man, much less Ramose, look at her the way he did now. What had she done to trigger such a response? Maybe he thought shopping was sexy. Hell, it didn’t matter. He had the look of a man ready to cross to the next level in their relationship. No, not the next level. He looked ready to leap all the way past and into a new relationship. His eyes were filled with need, but other emotions glimmered beneath the surface. Possession. Relief. Stark, irreversible hunger.

Before she could utter a word, he was there, pulling the dress from her fingers, handing it to the shopkeeper still standing beside her.

He spoke in rapid Arabic, handing the man cash. The store owner protested loudly, probably hoping for a good bartering session.

Ramose totally ignored him, his focus glued only on her. Never had he seemed so tall. Powerful. And even imposing. Tamara stepped back. Just moments before, he’d stood across the room, silent, watching. Now his scent whispered over her, dark and sensuous. Her blood rushed through her veins, heating her body in response. She bit her lip at the sudden onslaught of emotions and need building inside her. Inside, her heart fluttered in panic, while the rest of her body yearned for him. She was part rabbit, part tigress. She was terrified. She was starved.

“I can….” She could what? Pay for it herself?

Ramose leaned forward, his lips brushing against her ears, his breath feathering across her neck.

“Nanik,” he whispered fiercely.

Mine, her mind translated.

Tamara’s heartbeat spiked, and her knees weakened. She grabbed the clothing rack and struggled to breath, yet it was impossible. Not with him so close. So hungry. Did he suddenly recognize her as his soul mate? Did he have that skill as well? She tipped her face to meet his gaze. Heat coiled low in her belly. His scent stripped her of her desire for control. The fear fluttered inside her, yet she ached for more, to feel his lips against her flesh.

The hard lines of his jaw, shadowed by the late afternoon beard, combined with the power surging from his being, gave him the look of a warrior of old. Demanding. Powerful. And sexy as hell.

Her body moved of its own accord, leaning forward, blending his heat with her own. Muscles inside her softened, melting, while others drew taut, hungry for his touch. Her lashes fluttered, her eyes heavy, her mind and body drugged by this man’s desire.

“Ramose—”

But he wanted none of her words. His eyes silenced her, as though he were afraid she’d reject him. Long, warm fingers closed over hers. It was the first touch of what she hoped was soon to be more. The pulse in her throat beat a rapid staccato message. Need. Fear. She wasn’t even sure which held more power.

When the shopkeeper returned, Ramose held out his hand, not even looking at the man. His fingers closed around the plastic bag, and, without a word, he turned, escorting her out the door.

Once outside, they moved past the small shop, pressed inward by the throngs of people surrounding them. He didn’t seem to care. He stopped, right in the middle of crowd, tugging her hand until she turned to face him. His eyes raked over her, searching. With calloused fingers, he brushed away the wisp of hair now falling in her face. The heat from his fingers burned her flesh, regardless of his gift of ice.

“Kha-Ib.”

The word was so soft, so worshipful, she had to strain to hear it. Tamara shook her head. “What, Ramose, what is it?”

“Nanik,” he whispered again, his gaze softening, offering her a smile of wonder.

Oblivious to the crowd surrounding them, Tamara’s knees wobbled. She should be running, racing to her hotel to block away the world. This was too fast. Too dangerous. And, yet, the sudden possessiveness in his response only built the hunger inside her. Her gaze moved to his lips.

She wanted to feel him. Against her mouth. Hungry. God, what was wrong with her? His arm hooked about her waist, and, as his head lowered, she tipped her face to meet him. Wanting. Breathless.

His gaze held hers, even as his face inched closer.

When at long last their lips met, her heart, the one she was sure had quit beating, exploded in her chest, pounding as though to crack her ribs. The exquisite heat of his lips burned against hers. Oh, God. Please. Please what?

He groaned when she wrapped her arms about his neck, drawing even closer to him. He swept his tongue over her lips. She needed no further encouragement. For the first time in her life, she didn’t hesitate when a man touched her. She opened. And, when their tongues met, it was divine.

The inside of his mouth was hot and hungry, his taste an explosion of wild masculine heat, and, yet, he swept in slowly, as though in wonder, tasting her. The chill of his mouth drew her, cooling the overwhelming heat burning inside her. The combination of need and gentleness sent a shudder of hunger through her body, and she wanted more, needed to crawl even closer.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Born in Atlanta, the daughter of an Army Soldier during the early stages of the Viet Nam war, I spent my childhood traveling from state to state, finally ending up overseas in Germany where I graduated high school six months early.

My writing career however began as a young Airman in the Air Force, writing monthly articles for the weekly base paper. The articles ranged from climatological data to full center fold articles on the destructive forces of hurricanes. As I increased in rank, my writing changed to more technological instruction, including such works as WSR-88D Doppler Radar Data Interpretation Guide for North Carolina Stations, and Station Operating Procedures.

But my early writing wasn’t limited only to the technological side. I’ve written multiple dog training and behavior articles for canine websites such as Sonora Canine Freestyle, and also the Ask Blackjack column, a fun training column in the voice of my labrador retriever, then a young pup.

My first book, SheWolf, won 2nd place for Best First book in RWA’s PFF&P Prism awards.

I’m married to a wonderful man named Doug, who is also retired Air Force. We live in North Carolina with our two dogs.

Author Jillian Chantal talks about 'Moon Dance,' Alan Rickman, Agatha Christie and more


Please give author Jillian Chantal a warm welcome today as she tells us more about herself and her book 'Moon Dance.' Be sure to leave her comments and more questions below! (For example, share in our mutual love of Agatha Christie and Alan Rickman, and help me to reassure her that she isn't the only klutz in the room!)

What was the inspiration behind 'Moon Dance'?
I’d written a book about a former Green Beret who lost a portion of his leg in Afghanistan. It’s called Sebastian’s Salvation and I was a little disappointed at the reception it received. It seemed as if a wounded warrior wasn’t what readers wanted to see. I decided to try another story with a wounded hero to see if it would be better received. I like to think that everyone deserves a little romance- even a man or woman who has a physical limitation- so I wanted to try again and my injured fireman, Gabe, came to life.
Which character spoke to you the most during the writing process?
Gabe, the hero, was the most vocal. In my writing process, usually I get the hero’s journey in my head a lot easier than the heroine’s. I also always fall a little in love with the hero.  
A minor character in this story saved his own life as well by speaking to me. I planned to kill this character but as the story went on, this person grew on me and I couldn’t bear to do it. That kind of surprised me so the person survived.
How much do you have in common with Olga, the main character?
Not a whole lot. I like to wear red like she does and I sometimes choose what I wear based on if I have to make a presentation or not- I have certain “go-to” outfits when I need to be more confident than usual.  
Olga is a scientist and her intelligence is something I admire but some of her characteristics are the opposite of mine such as her mood swings and her doubts about herself. I do have a temper, but Olga’s mood swings are different than that.
What kind of research did you have to do for this book?
I had to research the way that blindness could be caused by fire and what the scarring would look like for burned retinas and the area around the eye. I also had to find out about what Gabe would be able to discern after his injury such as light and dark and shapes. Luckily, I have a great friend who is an emergency room physician and his help was invaluable.  
I also researched the companies who are working on passenger flights to the moon and the science involved in that process.
Will we ever see these characters again?
At this time, I haven’t thought of another story that they would be in. I kind of like the heroine’s friend and she may have a story in the future.
On what other projects are you currently working? 
I’m writing a spy/murder mystery set in 1937 in Europe before WWII. It’s been a fun one to work on as it takes place on the Orient Express. Of course, there’s romance in the mix as well. Even spies deserve to be loved, right? 
What drives you as a writer? 
My mind never stops going. I find that the fiction writing grounds me and helps me take my mind off the day job. I work as a lawyer and would find myself, in the evenings after work, thinking of things I needed to do at the job the next day and it seemed I never got away from the stress of the cases I was handling. The writing gives me a needed escape and saves my sanity so I guess that’s what drives me. Staying sane and balanced. 
How do you get through a bout of writer's block? 
I’ve never really experienced it but I do take time to watch movies and study them for movements, scenery (and how I’d describe it in a story) and dialogue. If I don’t feel the muse, I’ll put in a film and before I know it, I’m back to the keyboard. 
Please tell us about your other published works. 
I have four historical stories with Desert Breeze Publishing and all four take place on ocean liners. Three are all on the Queen Mary and are based on one family. They are all stand-alone stories and all are what I call romantic adventures. There’s murder, mystery and romance involved. I like a lot going on in my stories. LOL  
I have several short stories and novellas with both Secret Cravings and Sweet Cravings Publishing. These run the gamut from light paranormal to contemporary to historical.
I also have four novels published with SirenBookStrand on the mainstream side. These are all contemporary romances. 
How does your career as a lawyer influence your writing? 
I’ve not really written many lawyers per se. I have one story called Hot Pursuit with Ellora’s Cave’s Blush line and the heroine in it is a lawyer. People who know me say this heroine is the closest to me that I’ve written. I usually say that I don’t think so as she is way more kick-butt than me. I can’t shoot the gun out of someone’s hand although my friend tells me that I could if I tried. Haha.  
I think the law career has definitely helped my writing since I have been doing research for many years and in my historical novels, I have to do a ton of it. Being able to find information and retain it is a great asset as a writer. Writing legal documents is totally different though and I had to break myself of the formal writing in order to write fiction. 
If you had the opportunity to go to the moon, would you?
