#WOTR19 #AuthorSpotlight – Krystle Able/A.K. Dickerson

Leave a comment

Krystle Able

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Krystle Able and I am a multigenre author. I also write horror under the pen name A.K. Dickerson with my husband. I was born and still live in central Illinois and work as a freelance writer full time while also going to U of I to finish my BA in English. When I am not writing or working on school, all of my time is devoted to my three kids who are 11, 9 and 3. Our three year old is autistic and we are very involved in our local community through programs like SPICE and Marcfirst.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

Panera, not so much a good but I love their Plum Hibiscus tea.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I am attending my first signing in May as an Author and WOTR will be my second! I have been several times as a reader however and my favorite thing would have to be just getting together with a room full of people who all love reading as much as I do. When you go to a signing event, you have something in common with every single person around you, it’s impossible to feel alone.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Tarryn Fisher and Colleen Hoover (I want to meet them together, they’re a package deal for me)

What author would you love to write with?

I am co-writing with RL Weeks this year which I am very excited about.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

This happened yesterday! A former professor of mine from ICC and a fellow horror author left an amazing review of my debut horror story and it made me feel validated for the first time, like, ok, maybe my writing is pretty ok after all!

#WOTR19 #AuthorSpotlights – Vivian Ward

Leave a comment

Vivian Ward

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

\My name is Vivian Ward and I write forbidden, ménage, dark, and contemporary romance. I’ve been writing for almost a decade and it is my full-time job. Reading and writing have always been my passion, and I love creating stories based on our hidden desires, intimate relationships, and taboo subjects that most can’t fathom talking about or sharing with others. Aside from writing, I’m an avid reader of all books naughty, suspenseful, dark, and smutty. I’m also a mom, wife, taxi cab driver, chef, maid, laundry attendant, professional shopper, and a fur mom to two awesome dogs. When I have downtime–who am I kidding? There’s no such thing as downtime! No, seriously, when I do have a few spare moments, I like going to bookstores to hit up the romance, suspense, and reference sections. As much as I love reading stories, I think it’s also important to study writing and have several bookshelves dedicated to books about editing, plotting, story arcs, character arcs, and much more.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

Oddly, I like writing in public places. I get a kick out of knowing what I’m writing and laugh at the fact that nobody around me would ever guess I’m writing about ménages or dirty romance. One of my favorite places to write is Starbucks. If I’m writing from home, I’m happy with any place that doesn’t have four kids screaming and fighting. LOL And there’s not any particular food or drink that must be present but I do have to have something to drink at all times. It doesn’t matter if it’s tea, water, soda, coffee, or something else.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I love meeting fellow authors but, even more than that, I love meeting readers! Without readers, I wouldn’t be where I am today. It’s so much fun to meet everyone, especially since majority of my time is spent at home, writing alone. The socialization is my favorite part because I’m naturally a people person and signings allow me to interact with everyone.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Tillie Cole. I’d love to meet her because I love her writing but I did get to meet Jamie McGuire, which I absolutely loved! I’d also like to meet Gillian Flynn. Okay, so I have more than one author that I’d like to meet but I’m only human so sue me. LOL It’s like opening a bag of chips, you can’t stop at one.

What author would you love to write with?

Honestly, several of my friends and I already write together and release special books for holidays and just for fun, and I love it. Sometimes the worlds are shared and sometimes they aren’t but it’s so much fun creating storylines and various ideas and then getting together to write them. For a co-write, I’d like to write with either Derek Masters (again) or Jillian Quinn. She’s one of my best friends and we bounce ideas off each other all the time.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

My favorite memory as an author so far would be the two different times that I earned orange bestseller tags and hit number one in multiple categories with two different titles.

Reverse Harem

#NewRelease #RH – Virgo Rising by M.J. Marstens

Leave a comment

Virgo Rising (A Reverse Harem Novel) (The Afflicted Zodiac)

Hi, I’m Zahra Delsol. . . the white Zahra Delsol and I want to tell you about my interview from hell.

And a potential vampire.

And the dream sex.

And the never-ending embarrassment.

Oh, and the obscenely, inappropriate office moments.

There are some silver linings. . .  like a free mini-vacay in Tucson (with some demons).

I’m just a girl trying to make it in the world of internet astrology. . . Actually, I am just a girl trying to pay off her student debt and looking to live life to its fullest (which mostly entails reading in my free time and googling researching information).

So, I would love for you to join me in my Trust Tree of Truth, where I am unfailingly honest and you are abidingly nonjudgmental. Do I need to sell this more or did I have you at ‘dream sex’?

Virgo Rising is book one in The Afflicted Zodiac Series.

The eight planetary gods of astrology all suffer from an afflicted moon caused by the very woman who betrayed them. Imprecated to be ruled by their darker natures, they must find a way to break the curse before it is too late.

WARNING: This novel is intended for readers 18+. There is explicit language, sexual scenes with multiple partners, and threats made by men who think they are gods. . . I hope you enjoy! Also, please note this BOOK ONE of a series, and there will be some unanswered questions and events at the end of the book. Thank you and enjoy!

Goodreads

I’m a raptor-wrangling, mermaid-bunny, master-builder, kitchen-dancing referee (a.k.a. mom of three) by day. . . and just exhausted by night. But in my free time, I love to write stories of maidens with too much spunk, dominant men who like to share, and evil plot twists that make you scream ‘noooooooooo’. [Insert author’s evil laughter now.] To read more about me and my wicked plans, please visit my Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/M.J.Marstens/. Cheers!

#WOTR19 #CoverReveal – Stolen Hearts by Anna Hague

Leave a comment


Coming in June

Haley Marcum draws the attention of a bad boy on a motorcycle, but her father’s overprotective tendencies make rendezvouses difficult. She’s sick of him treating her like a child. She’s sixteen, after all, and according to her friends, very mature.

Jamey Marcum’s undercover past made him suspicious of everyone where his children are concerned. He tries giving Haley more freedom, but when he spots Tyler Reynolds watching Haley, his alarm bells go off. Reynolds is no teenager and with his long hair and Harley, the guy reminds Jamey of a past he wants to keep buried.

At odds with Haley over Tyler, Jamey believes he’s taken care of the problem, but Haley disappears into the night. He’s frantic because he knows what can happen to young girls who vanish.

Finding Tyler is the first step…exacting revenge is the second.

Author’s Goodreads Page

For 25 years, I’ve worked as a sports writer. I decided now was the time to pursue romance fiction as an author. I found a great group of RWA author friends who have helped me tremendously.
I get great support from my husband, and although they don’t know it, my three parrots and dog give me a huge boost everyday.

Excerpt

2019 Betty Shreffler
Crowned and
Claimed Series, Book 2, Twice Claimed
Ryker’s strong hand cups my chin, turning my face to his, smothering my lips with a fierce sexual tension I wasn’t prepared for. His tongue invades my mouth with delicious need, his kiss the essence of fire burning ice. I melt beneath the dominance, succumbing to the passionate force of his lips moving over mine.
When he pulls back, I’m caught in a haze, my body screaming for more. We’re silent in the darkness. Eyes lingering on me, his black irises study me in the bit of light cast from the stage. I feel captured in them as if I’m drowning in dark water, unable to see the surface, and my only choice is to sink and welcome what awaits me. Thunderous drums pronounce the woman’s orgasm, and my attention returns to the stage, my entire body humming with sexual desire. Through another act, the men fight, and by the fifth act, and the plot’s thirteenth night, both men lay with the woman. My cheeks flush red, my entire body alert,
my nipples pert, and my pussy soaked with arousal. I watch, entranced as the three of them act out their lovemaking, each man taking her on either side.
Biting into my lip, I fist my hands in my lap as a breath escapes my parted mouth. Glancing over at Ryker, his gaze is more than his usual intensity. I see the heat in his own cheeks, the sexual tension raging just below the surface.
He licks his lips in a way that’s all too inviting, and I imagine myself moving into his arms and him kicking everyone out, so he can take me on the table.

#WOTR19 #AuthorSpotlights – AJ Renee

A.J. Renee

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

AJ Renee. Military wife, mother, daughter, sister… I like long walks on the beach, beer, wine, scotch, and cosmos. I consider myself a Florida girl since I lived there the longest time. I’ve never officially used my college degrees in the 12+ years I’ve had them. I’m a nerd, goofball, and loyal to a fault. I’m also an open book so if you’re curious about something feel free to ask.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

I work the best at my desk. I drink hot tea while I write and try to avoid the snacks. Writing is awful for my waistline.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Meeting everyone! I do get a little shy and feel awkward but it’s because I don’t always know what to say or do.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Kathleen Brooks

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

Meeting and hanging out with readers.

I love, love meeting new readers as well as seeing old friends. It’s also fun to discover new to me authors and adding to my TBR list.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Sherrilyn Kenyon for sure. I’ve been blessed to have already met another favorite, Larissa Ione.

What author would you love to write with?

Larissa Ione
