Loved Fifty Shades of Grey but prefer a story with more bite? You're in the right place!

NEW COVER REVEAL!! ★ *˛ ˚💞💞* ✰。˚ ˚✮。* ˛˚ 💞💞 ✯˚* ˚ ★ By Paradox Book Cover Designs

Jarryd’s Journey is a deliciously sexy story set six months before the first Journey of Innocence series book, Innocence Lost begins.

A savvy businessman and entrepreneur, Jarryd also just happens to be a hundred-plus-year-old vampire who is as hot as hell.

With movie-star good looks paired with his flawless Southern charm, Jarryd is never without a bed partner to quench his insatiable appetite.

With an abundance of wealth and women at his exposal to satisfy his every desire, Jarryd comes to realize that there is still something he desires more than anything -- the love of one woman.

But at what cost?

Loved and envied in equal measures around the world, no man can match Jarryd's power  -- except one. 

When the Elder vampire makes a very important request, jeopardizing everything Jarryd holds dear, does he really have a choice other than to obey?

Author spotlight - Who is Chariss K. Walker?

Who is Chariss K. Walker?  Chariss K Walker, B. Msc., M. Div., writes both fiction and nonfiction books that share metaphysical insight... what some would call paranormal occurrences. Chariss has said that each step she's taken in life has led to this very moment. She encourages others to understand that each experience, whether considered a blessing or a mistake, was the right choice to make at that time. She says, "It’s the reconciliation and acceptance of the choices we’ve made that turn those experiences from fear to love." Chariss has many life lessons to share through her writings. A lifelong student, she’s studied religion and metaphysics extensively for many years through seminars, e-courses, home-study courses, self-help books, and earning educational degrees (Bachelors of Metaphysical Sciences and Masters of Divinity). She’s been known to read two and three books at once in a quest to understand and share with others what she’s learned. However, her real qualifications matter more: life experiences, true insight, and helping others. In 2001, Chariss completed the highest degree attainable as Reiki Master/Teacher. She shares metaphysical and esoteric concepts studied for over thirty years in both nonfiction and fiction writings. Why a writer? Chariss began reading and writing even before her formal education began. She says, “The words simply made sense to me. I always knew I would become a published author, but the dream wasn't realized until 2008. Life kept getting in the way.” Book Genres? “I’ve written about everything…usually the stuff no one wants to talk about. The stuff that isn’t considered polite conversation, such as abuse, rape, incest, death and grief. The dark and dirty secrets that families keep hidden make my writings dark, very dark. My favorite fiction genres include crime, thriller, paranormal. My favorite nonfiction genres are centered around inspirational and personal growth topics in body, mind, and spirit. Because I'm a wounded healer, I accept the dichotomy, allowing me to write both easily.” You might find it strange for an author to write such a mixture, but her fiction book characters have superhuman/supernatural/paranormal abilities and gifts. The knowledge about these aspects comes from the study of all things "metaphysical," a category that can't be explained by science. For example, there really are "auras" and "chakras" and some people can see them. People do dream "dreams" that come true. “Child-eyes” is a very real state of being. Although her nonfiction books discuss these topics, her fiction books are also filled with insight. Some characters listen to their inner voice, some see visions, some receive messages, and some experience spiritual transformation. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. ~~ Hamlet (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio/Shakespeare.

The Cobra and Scarab: A Novel of Ancient Egypt, By Glenn Starkey.

"Hidden for centuries by the shifting sands of the desert, scrolls are unearthed by an archeologist who believes his dream of discovering riches has finally come true. But his hopes of returning to England in glory are shattered when a Bedouin reveals that the ancient text does not hold monetary value, but instead shares the unknown truths of the beautiful Egyptian queen Hatshepsut, the treacheries of nobility, and the two men destined from birth to clash with her.

The ambitious Hatshepsut is willing to become Pharaoh at any cost, even when the price must be paid with her body and with murder. Tetimas, rightful heir to the throne, is forced from childhood to watch his kingship stolen from him by Hatshepsut and her sadistic lover, Ashwan. Yet, despite his fears, Tetimas’s fate and Egypt’s power are destined to become one. Haunted by tragedy, Sakkara seeks solace in war, but is willing to risk everything to save his half-brother, the true king.

In this gripping, classic historical tale, the hatred between two strong-willed leaders is about to boil to the surface. As a nation waits for the victor in a momentous struggle for the throne, a hidden history is at last revealed."

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical 

By M Medler - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Kindle Edition

I have a confession to make. I have put off writing this review for what feels like eternity, and I still don't think I'm ready. You see, my problem is that I don't trust myself to do these books justice.

When you find an author with a style so perfect, so entrancing, that you know full well you'd read their shopping list if that's what they decided to publish, what could you say to make a difference? I'm supposed to be good with words, but they fail me now. So I guess I'll just have to stick to being as objective and clinical as I can. Here's what I thought of the first two books in the Witchwood Estate series.

First impression: I would read this series 'till the world came to an end. I secretly hope Patti Roberts never ever stops writing. Her imagination is unequalled.

Voice: smooth storytelling, trance-inducing, the kind that seeps into your brain and surreptitiously replaces reality with a fantastic life you couldn't help but want to be a part of.

Plot: Oh, how many possibilities! From a simple intro and clear focus, the action picks up and threads of intrigue, mystery and hidden threats begin to weave into the main fabric. As more characters are introduced, their purpose and intent are implied, understood, twisted and finally revealed to be something no one could have foreseen. There are enough twists in there for at least another ten books! And I want to read them all.

Characters: perfectly formed, from the smallest secondary role to the protagonist. Alexandria is the kind of best friend all of us need. Andrew is so sweet, and his character has so much yet-untapped potential. Then, there is black magic, and shape-shifters, and ghosts.

Descriptions: original and just right for forming the right picture. I felt as if I knew my way around, right there, in the story.

Extras: Flick through the pages, and you'll find spells Alexandria has inherited from her mother. There are illustrations accompanying the spells, with lists of ingredients, method, verses and chants to make the spells work. Patti Roberts' artistic abilities are well-known, but still, this is a very inspired little detail that adds depth and value to the story.

Emotion: The author's ability to share a character's emotion is incredible. Living as an outcast, or at least someone different, comes across very well at the beginning of this series, and is presented with a kindness not many people are capable of. My eyes teared up because I could imagine or identify with many of the sentiments the characters were dealing with, even in this limited portion of the story.

The overall effect is of being at one with the book. Flawless in every way, the writing is exceptional. I fell head-first into the magic and I can't wait to see where the story is heading next. A beautiful, modern tale about a witch and what it takes to make your own way in life. This is a six-star book, at the very least.

Is Your Novel "Long Enough?" By guest Blogger Michael K. Rose. Does size really matter?

The Long and short of it - Does size really matter? Welcome to Guest Blogger and Author Michael K. Rose.

As you may know, I've recently released Sullivan's War: The Complete Adventure. It collects three novellas (called Sullivan's War: Books I, II and III) which were released individually but make up one story line. Those novellas, usually priced at $2.99 apiece, have been selling fairly well. But The Complete Adventure's sales have been fantastic, selling in twelve days nearly as many copies as Book I, even though Book I's price was reduced to 99 cents near the beginning of the month.

I had suspected that I would see an increase in sales once I released The Complete Adventure, and here's why: I'd read long ago that many readers prefer to read only novels. They do not particularly care for short stories, and novellas? What the hell is a novella? The unimpressive sales of my collection Short Stories seems to support this idea. Even though Short Stories has a good number of positive reviews and I promoted it as heavily (if not more heavily) than Sullivan's War: The Complete Adventure, I sold nearly 7 times as many copies of Sullivan's War as Short Stories during July. And remember, Sullivan's War: The Complete Adventure was only available for the last twelve days of the month.

Now, I'm one who has always been a champion for short stories. I write them, obviously, and I even wrote a blog post called "Why I Love Short Stories." Another post I wrote as a guest on ME Franco's blog is called "Short Fiction is Dead?" In it, I propose that the eBook revolution will see a reemergence of shorter fiction. One thought is that a short story or novella can be published without the concern of making sure a "book" is of a profitable length. Now that printing costs are not a factor, any length can be a profitable length, assuming the story is sufficiently attractive to readers. Well, the three Sullivan's War novellas have been profitable, as have a few of the short stories I released individually. But my experience these past two weeks with Sullivan's War: The Complete Adventure has convinced me that full-length novels are going to be even more profitable. And while profit should not be a writer's sole consideration, it is unavoidable if one wishes, as I do, to make a living at it.

So is your novel long enough? What is long enough? The dividing line between novels and novellas ranges from 40,000 words to 60,000 words or higher. Will readers be "unsatisfied" with a 40,000-word novel? Does the word novella scare some people away? And what can one reasonably charge for short stories, novellas, short novels, long novels? I've been publishing my fiction for less than a year, and I'm still trying to work all of this out. But the sales of Sullivan's War: The Complete Adventure have convinced me that, for now at least, I should probably not focus on writing short stories quite as much. Novels are what readers want, and I have about a dozen novels waiting to be written. I just hope I can make them long enough.

What do you consider to be a minimum length for a novel? If you prefer novels over novellas or short stories, why? I'd love to hear any thoughts on this topic; just leave a comment below.

Best,

What is the name of your most recent book and if you had to sum it up in 30 or less words, what would you say?

Ever Shade - A dark twist on faeries.  Shade finds herself in the treacherous land of Faerie where magic and betrayal abound, no one is who they seem and Shade discovers she’s a faery too-with some tricks up her sleeve.

If you gave one of your characters an opportunity to speak for themselves, what would they say? 

Ah, Darren, he is so treacherous and evil but he would claim he is not.  He would say that he is special and wants to keep the magic of Faerie untainted by humans-who have no place in the land of Faerie.

Do you have plans for a new book? Is this book part of a series?

I have book 2 already written and waiting to be published: Ever Fire (A Dark Faerie Tale #2) to release sometime end of 2012 TBA or early 2013.  In the meantime I am also releasing another series: Reign of Blood book 1, a post-apocalyptic vampire hunter urban fantasy/horror March 31^st 2012.  My poetry collection will also be releasing soon in February and it’s titled: Whispers of Dreams (A Poetic Collection).  I also have two submissions included in Dark Light, an anthology with Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing.

What books have influenced your writing?

I actually have wanted to write fantasy since I was very young.  I have to give kudos to the Secret of the Unicorn Queen series, awesome for kids but currently out of print.  I also drew inspiration from all of Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series, Holly Black’s Modern Faerie Tale series and the Resident Evil novels by S.D. Perry.  I love dark story telling at its best, anything like Grimm’s Fairy Tales which I read and fell in love with as a child.

Is there an Author that you would really like to meet?

I’d love to meet Charlaine Harris, she seems like an amazing person!  I love her Sookie Stackhouse series, read them all!

Do you prefer ebooks, paperbacks or hardcover?

I prefer paperbacks but I love hardcovers and ebooks alike.  I don’t discriminate.

Are you a self published (Indie) Author?

I did self publish my first book Interim Blue July 2011.  I fortunately got picked up by a publisher and it will be re-released as Ever Shade (A Dark Faerie Tale) March 16^th 2012. 

Are there any Authors that have grasped your interest recently and why?

Definitely Madison Daniel and H.D. Gordon, I recently finished reading their books and they were amazing!!!  They are going to take the world by storm!

Who designed the cover of your book?
Paragraphic Designs, she rocks!!!

Do you buy a book by the cover?

I have to admit I do!  If it’s amazing or intriguing, I have to at least check to see what it’s about.  I do try to restrain myself.

Do you have any advice for other writers?

Write and write and write and read a lot!!! Just do it already!

Do you write under a pen name?

No I don’t.  That’s my name in real life ;)

What date were you born? - you can leave off the year if you like.

April 29th


Do you have a nickname?

Lexi, Lex, Alexi, Alexis, anything related to my name ends up my nickname.


An early childhood memory –

One of my earliest child hood memories was my grandmother baking cakes in the shape of a pink rabbit and a blue rabbit, one for me and one for my twin brother.

Do you ever write in your PJ’s?
All the time, my preferred uniform.  Best job ever!!!


Patti Says: Agree!!!

What are your pet peeves?

Being the only one turning off lights in my house.  I like it dark and the power bill low.  

Coffee or tea?

Green iced tea or coke, coffee if desperate.

Vanilla or chocolate ice-cream?

Chocolate- yum!!!

What do you normally eat for breakfast, of do you skip it and get straight to work?

I eat breakfast at work.  I’m there for twelve and a half hours so I live all day there.  When I’m at home, I eat all day long, small meals, junk food.  It’s bad.

Sleep in or get up early?

I’d rather sleep in but I have to get up early every day.  Life demands it.

Laptop or desktop for writing?

Laptop for sure!

Where and when do you prefer to do your writing?

Either at my dining room table or on the couch with my laptop.  I prefer writing during my kid’s nap time or late at night with the creatures of the night.  haha

Where is one place in the world that you would really love to visit someday?

Ireland or Italy

One of your favorite quotes –

"You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great."  Can’t remember who said that! 

List 3 of your favorite movies?

Labryrinth

Resident Evil Extinction

The Never Ending Story

Patti Says: oh I loved the Never ending story!!!

An actor or a book character you have a crush on –

Right now it’s Jem from The Clockwork Prince, sigh…..

Up Close & Personal with Author - Tammie Clarke Gibbs - Island of Secrets & The Counterfeit

Tammie would like to give one lucky winner a copy of her ebook Island Of Secrets.

Winner drawn on the 31st of January!  Leave your comments for Tammie below with your email address.


Hi Tammie, where were you born and where do you call home? I was born in Vidalia, Georgia and still reside there with my husband, Mike, son, Anthony a Maltese named Sissy and a Chocolate Lab named Rocky.

What is the name of your most-recent  book, and if you had to sum it up in 30 or fewer words, what would you say?

THE COUNTERFEIT... Sometimes the road to justice is filled with compromise. Magen MacGuire and Jeremy Loud are both looking for justice each for different crimes, but each is forced along the way to make compromises.  Both are pretending to be someone they aren't, but in the process a love neither of them was looking for forces them to choose between justice for past crimes against them or a love and a life neither expected to ever find. This book is about the decisions we make and how unexpected events can impact our lives and change the path we're on.

If you gave some of your characters, an opportunity to speak for themselves, what would they say? 

Jeremy and Magen would probably complain how frustrating the other was. All the while, they'd be making "over the moon" eyes at each other. These two have a unique energy. It's like they can't help themselves as much as they try to deny they love one another, they can't.

Do you have plans for a new book? Is this book part of a series? 

Yes, I'm planning another with some of the characters from both ISLAND OF SECRETS and THE COUNTERFEIT. They'll be stand alones.

What or who inspired you to write? And how long have you been writing?

I've been writing since I was a Junior in High School. Let's just say quite a while.   My English teacher told me I'd found what I was meant to do with the rest of my life.

How did you come up with the title and cover design?

ISLAND OF SECRETS just named itself. I played with a few other titles but nothing really fit.  Since it's Time Travel Gothic, I wanted a cover that reflected a modern gal in a gothic setting, I think her running in the dark does that. I wanted it to have that Gothic Book appeal.  THE COUNTERFEIT was supposed to be COUNTERFEIT KISSES but there was recently another book with that title. I still really like the original title and if you read this, and the book has the CK title you'll know it was a last-minute change. I like the cover. This time I wanted a guy on the cover and wanted it to reflect the mood of the book. I think it turned out very well.

Have you based any of your characters on someone you know, or real events in your own life? 

ISLAND OF SECRETS is loosely based on a legend I found in one of my family history books. I haven't really done any characters based on real people. I do occasionally use photos of movie stars or people in magazines, etc. to help me visualize and grow the characters.

What books have most influenced your writing most and why?

Jude Deveraux and Lynn Kurland are two of my favorite authors. I love their time travel books, and I also love that they both can write without being explicit. I only feel comfortable with a certain amount of heat in my books, tension yes, but blow by blow, not. I like that both authors have proven there is a market for the type of books I write.


Is there an Author that you would really like to meet?

I've met Jude, so I'd say Lynn would be nice to meet. I've actually been very fortunate and met quite a few very prominent authors while I was working on the RECIPES FOR ROMANCE FROM THE LEADING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN collector cookbook.  It featured contributions from over sixty published romance authors and launched at the 2001 Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention in Orlando, Florida. I actually have a scrapbook on my website for anyone interested.

Do you prefer e-books, paperbacks or hardcover?

I love all books. I love that e-books have enabled me to do something I love. I believe a book is a book no matter what form it comes in. I love them all.

Where do you prefer to buy your books?

I buy my books wherever I find them. I do buy a lot online now.

Are you a self published (Indie) Author?

 I'm independently published and loving it.

Is there a particular movie that you preferred over the book version? 

The Time Travelers Wife

What book are you currently reading and in what format (ebook/paperback/hardcover)?

Ebook. Jungle of Deceit by Maureen Miller

What book do you know that you will never read? 

I don't specifically know of one. I do know that sometimes I pick up books or sample books that just don't fit my style. Still, great authors, I just don't care for their particular style. I usually don't finish reading books that don't hold my attention for the first couple of chapters.
 

Are there any new Authors that have grasped your interest and why?

Maureen Miller, is one.

Is there anything you would change in your last book and why?

Since it's just come out, I think I did all the changing I wanted to prior to release.

Who designed the cover of your book?

So far, I've done the cover design, but I have an extensive background in marketing and design.

Do you have a book trailer?

I have one for ISLAND OF SECRETS, and plan to have one for THE COUNTERFEIT.

What are your thoughts on book trailers?

I like them. It's just another way and place for readers to find me.

Do you have any advice for other writers?

You owe it to yourself to give your dream a chance. If you think you are marketable, put your stuff out there, learn from the critiques, then make it happen.

What is the best advice that you have ever been given when it comes to writing? 

To stop waiting on a print contract and go for it.

Do you write under a pen name? Not at the moment

Do you ever write in your PJ’s? Of course.

What are your pet peeves?

I'm not really patient with folks who say they can't do something when they haven't even tried. The library is full of how-to books. You can do anything you set your mind to, and you can learn how to do anything if you want to learn how to do it.

Cats or dogs? Dogs. My hubby is allergic to cats.

White wine or red?

Grape Juice white or red. LOL. I don't drink, but I love to drink out of fancy glasses.

Coffee or tea? Cold Sweet Tea

Favorite food? Mexican (pretty much anything)

Vanilla or chocolate icecream? Chocolate

What do you normally eat for breakfast? I normally don't, but if I do probably toast or cereal.

What are 4 things you never leave home without?

My computer (one of them), my purse, my Kindle, aspirin (for heart emergencies)

Laptop or desktop for writing? Laptop

Where and when do you prefer to do your writing? Anytime, I can have a few minutes to write.

If you were deserted on an island, who are 3 famous people you would want with you? Adrian Paul, One of those Men vs Wild guys, and a famous politician who folks would be looking for. (My husband is not famous, but he'd be my first pick because he can do some of that Man vs/ wild stuff.

One of your favorite quotes - I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me. Phillipians 4:13

List 3 of your all time favorite books? Bible, A Night in Shining Armor, Till There Was You

An actor you have a crush on - Adrian Paul (you could tell my husband, but he probably already knows after I watched 100 episodes of HIGHLANDER straight on Netflix)

What is a movie or TV show that you watched recently and really enjoyed? I love Vampire Diaries.

Patti says:  Me too.  Damon or Stefan???

On An Island of Secrets
One woman, two men and a love that transcends time get a second chance to prevent history from repeating itself. But will love be enough to win the battle against time and stop the force that’s kept them apart for centuries?
