Helen Johnston - Queen Of smut

 

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Helen grew up in the county of Hampshire, in southern England. She was incredibly fortunate to have the most wonderful parents anyone could wish for. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a dancer—nothing more, nothing less. As an only child, she immersed herself in dance lessons, which instilled in her a sense of discipline and, perhaps more importantly, the tenacity to finish what she starts.

Helen has a son who is her pride and joy—and in her eyes, he’s pretty much perfect (though she insists you mustn’t tell him that!). She lives with her partner and their thoroughly spoiled cat, who is quite convinced he rules the household. The cat, that is—not her partner.

Often told she possessed a fanciful imagination, Helen now counts that as one of her greatest blessings. After years of working a variety of jobs to make ends meet, she discovered writing—born from a lifelong love of reading, a desire to escape the daily grind, and the need to give life to the stories swirling in her mind.

With a passion for all things paranormal and erotic, Helen found the perfect way to blend the two in her storytelling.

She hopes readers enjoy her Innocence and Eternal series as much as she has enjoyed writing them.

Helen loves hearing from readers. She doesn’t bite… well, only if you ask nicely.

⭐ “Sizzles with heat and suspense.”

⭐ “Riveting… a heartwarming story.”

When the heroine inherits a grand but shadowed estate, she quickly realizes the past isn’t buried—it’s waiting. Hidden money, suspicious “accidents,” and whispered secrets cling to the walls of Thornton House. And just next door? A charming, intelligent neighbor who is more than willing to help her uncover the truth.

Together they sail the coast, follow dangerous clues, and risk everything to expose the identity of the person responsible for the tragedies that haunt the estate. But as their investigation deepens, so does the danger.

Will they uncover the treasure before someone else escapes with it?

Blending romance, family drama, and pulse-racing suspense, Thornton House builds to a surprise—but deeply satisfying—ending that will leave you eager for the next installment in the Seamist Bay Series.

Readers agree: once you start, you won’t want to put it down.

About the author

Judith lives in Florida with her husband and canine administrator, Toby. In between golf and MahJongg, she writes. She called Colorado home for most of her adult life.

When she bought two horses for her children to ride, she didn’t realize it would grow to a herd of registered Paint horses, lessons for herself, and training for her horses, not to mention lots of travel to shows.

Driving to Wyoming to visit family and enjoying the wide-open land was the creative inspiration for the fictional farm community called Bantry and the mountain formation Hightower Mountain in SECRETS OF THE HEART.

The second book in this series, RETURN TO HIGHTOWER, is in progress and focuses on Adam’s younger brother Steve Tower and his lost love, Desiree Lorde. Both novels are stand-alone reads. She hopes to have it out by summer.

From This Moment By Edee Smaldone Corrias

When Thomas was told to report to Section A, little did he know he was in Eternity. When he met Gabriel and asked, “Did I die?” His answer was… “Yes.”

Gino, a long time resident is assigned to guide Thomas in a transition which allows him to meet the Father, who they lovingly call, “The Boss.” However, Thomas delays the process by using visions and actions to steer his widowed, Earthly mother, Emma, into a romance with a recently divorced and much younger Sean, Gino’s brother.

As Gino patiently prepares Thomas for his ultimate encounter with The Boss, they implore the help of Ariel, a charismatic angel, to assist in the romance.

Will the couple overcome their age difference? Will Thomas finally meet “The Boss?”
From This Moment is a story of acceptance, trust, understanding and a deep spiritual love.

About The Author

Edee grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and now resides in South Florida with her husband.  She once studied Hypnosis, became certified and practiced for only a short time.

Two are included in this book. In addition to the poetry and novels, she has written two unpublished plays with hopes of presenting them some day.

Several years ago, Edee found two wonderful writers’ groups in Jupiter, Florida who nourished her love for writing and prompted her to publish and continue writing. She will be forever grateful to them. Currently she is writing her fourth novel which is a serial killer-syfy murder mystery. It is not her typical genre. If succeeded, she hopes this book will be a testament of her writing skills.

Meet Linda Darby - Box Set Series from David Bishop

SMASHWORDS 

There are approximately one-hundred-and-sixty million women living in America. This is a story of just one woman. As the story unfolds Linda gradually learns that some people do deserve to die, but that she is not one of those people.

BOX SET 1
THE WOMAN. Linda Darby is a seven-year divorcee, living quietly in a small let-the-world-go-by beach town on the coast of Oregon, who day trades for a living. Her only close friend is a widowed elderly woman who manages a small consulting company, which, as is later discovered, never has visitors, sends and receives its business correspondence only by courier, and is not listed in any phone directory. No one in town knows what kind of consulting the company does, but the rumor is that whatever they do is done for the government. Linda doesn’t date local men. When her celibacy grows intolerable, she visits nearby towns to frequent the watering holes of successful men. Her motto: No relationships. No second dates. No use of her real name during one-night stands.
Then one evening, Linda goes for a walk and nothing for her is ever the same. She is dragged into an alley by two men, but saved by a third, a stranger who disappears as suddenly as he appeared.

HOMETOWN SECRETS. Memories are funny things. The way they quietly hang around. Linger. Waiting for something we see or hear, or an unexpected event to slam them forward into our consciousness. To strike us the way headlights assault a dark road. Some memories bring along a smile, others foreshadow danger and there are those which cry out for resolution. All of this is true for Linda Darby.
Linda wonders if she might again be lured into her first lover’s bed. As the pace quickens she does find love, along with friendship, fear, danger, and opportunity. Clashes of personality and conflicts between the agendas of the principal characters eventually coalesce in ways Linda never anticipated.

BOX SET 2

An assassination is planned in Syria.
An extramarital affair occurs in Washington, D.C. The U.S. President decides to run for re-election.

THE FIRST LADIES SECOND MAN. A mother and her daughter in Oregon are threatened. Relentlessly, Linda Darby and Ryan Testler are pulled toward these seemingly disparate events until their only way out is to confront what is quickly becoming unavoidable.

HEART STRIKE. The President of the United States assigns Ryan Testler a cloak-and-dagger mission to Europe in pursuit of support for his new doctrine dealing with the Middle East. Linda Darby accompanies Ryan to create the look of a couple of tourists. That cover story fails. Meanwhile, back in Washington, D.C., a lone terrorist, after four years as a sleeper, is activated. He wants to complete his sworn duty and make his family in Egypt proud. At the same time, his years in America as a sleeper has given him a different view of the country and its people. He struggles with this conflict as Ryan Testler leads the government's efforts to locate him before its too late.

About the author.

I was born in Washington, D.C. From there my life likely mirrored that of a lot of my readers. We moved around. I got some education. Played some sports, and got some more education. Prior to becoming a novelist, I worked as a financial analyst determining the value of companies. But let's talk about my current and final career, writing mystery novels.

As a writer, I conjure up occurrences designed to quickly bring the story to a roiling boil. Along the way, I invent people. Victims and villains and heroes are needed, as well as a supporting cast. I make these people fun and interesting so you will welcome them and introduce them to your friends. Primary characters need habits and tics and talents, the qualities that bring them to life and make you love them or hate them. You'll want to see them humiliated or hunted down, be successful or seduced.

My mysteries offer you the opportunity to be challenged to find the villain from among the suspects. Clues as large as a log or as tiny as a bump thereon are salted throughout the stories. There are distractions in the form of false clues, called red herrings, which point to someone other than the real villain.

Take a journey with me. Laugh. Hold your breath. Cheer. Boo. The characters are rich and the plots are grabbers. I promise that you'll be glad you came along. Some people don't like golf or chocolate or even a hearty laugh. But I'll bet you like some of those things and I'll bet you'll like my mysteries. Yours very truly, David Bishop
