CA Harms, Chelsea Camaron, & Lacey Black

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Besides being a writer, I am also a hair stylist for my day job as well as a wife and mother to two terrific grown men whom my own mother tells me to use as cover models. Someday I just may do that.
For 30 years I was a carded horse show judge. Due to health reasons I had to give that up. Not willingly I might add. Judging was always my passion.

When and Why did you start to write?

I began writing stories 30 plus years ago, but with a horse farm to run and two small children to raise, writing was shelved for 20 years. When I gave up judging horse shows I found myself with a lot of free time. I dug out all my writing stuff and began writing again.
When I started to reconnect with the writing community I found that technology had sprinted way ahead of me.
During this time I relearned the whole publishing business, and took courses on marketing as well as a few to brush up on my writing skills. Its been quite the journey so far.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

Sylvia Day, Maya Banks, Julie Ann Walker, Jenna Jacobs, Cheries Sinclair, Winter Travers, just to name a few.

What are you working on now?

I am in edits for Cowboys Tribulation, due out April 30.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I use to be just a panster but recently have begun to plot out full novels. This is something new for me. Usually I only write out a basic idea of a plot and then run with it. Either way I find both useful.

A Familiar Taste of Seduction by Jus Berghammer and Elizabeth Kolodziej – https.Amazon.com/JulsBerghammerAuthor

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Teresa Gabelman. I like to take long walks while thinking of hot, sexy vampire warriors. HA! No, seriously I’m just some chick, old chick, who likes to write stories that people will enjoy. I love reading and my favorite genre is paranormal, but you will find me reading about anything when I have time to read. Spending time with my family and dogs, fishing, reading and writing are pretty much on my top most favorite things I like to do. I love my readers and connecting with them is probably my favorite part about being a author.

When and Why did you start to write?

Years and years and years ago. You know I get asked this a lot and there are a few different reasons, but I think the one that really got me to give it a go was when I would read I’d want the guy to do this or the girl to do that. I always thought what if. In no way did I think I could write a better book, nope, that had nothing to do with it. I just wondered what it would be like if I could make the guy and girl do what I wanted them to do.

Plus I’ve always had a vivid imagination as a little girl, still do as a old chick and writing is my outlet. No, I didn’t daydream about sexy vampires as a little girl, but Donny Osmond did save me a few times as did Leif Garrett. I’m sure a majority of you are going to say…’who in the hell is Donny Osmond and Leif Garrett?’ Well I will just tell you, they were HOT back in the day…nuff said. 🙂

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

I love Sherrilyn Kenyon, but I always and I mean always suggest my indie author friends such as Kym Grosso, Victoria Danann, Theresa Hissong and the list goes on and on. Writing so much it’s hard to read and I miss it so much.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

The writing process itself would probably be the characters talking to me, meaning, I write a lot in my head so I have the story going before I even hit the computer. So there I am with my Diet Pepsi just minding my own business and typing away when all of a sudden I read what I wrote and it is not what I thought of an hour ago coming home from the grocery story. So, my characters like to screw with me in that way and just between us….their ideas are sometimes better than mine.

There was a panster or plotter question below and this is why I answered that question as I did. Can you guess which I am?

What are you working on now?

I am working on Blaze, the 10th book in the Protectors Series. Then I will be finishing the third in the Lee County Wolves. I also have a book that was released in the Taming The Vampire Box Set called The Enforcer which, because the readers asked that it be a series, is going to be a series and the second book will be written after the third in the LCW. What the readers want the readers get. I also have something a little ‘hush hush’ going on that I am working on. 😉

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

Oh, I’m a big pantser….a BIG pantser. Wish I was a plotter, but oh no, my characters totally stopped that process.

Damon Book #1 HERE

Forbidden Hunger HERE

I was running from my husband, a man I thought I’d known. Running from the hell he had put me through.

He’d nearly destroyed the woman I had once been and I would do whatever it took to regain my freedom.

I would lie, and cheat. I would steal if it meant that I never had to go back there.

I’d run and keep running…

But there was one problem. I hadn’t planned for Ashton Montgomery.

He was a distraction I couldn’t allow. Not if I wanted to stay safe. I had to remain distant, but he was relentless and had other ideas.

I caved because I hadn’t thought it all through, not in detail.

If I had I would’ve realized that you can only live in a fantasy world for so long before everything came crashing in around you.

And those lives you’ve destroy along the way, make you no better than the monster you were trying to break free from.

How could I have been so careless? It wasn’t meant to turn out this way. But the Rush of my freedom took control and I forgot how important it was to keep the secret of who I had once been.

And now I had nothing…

Only the fear that the man I’d run from would find me again, and finish what he started.

EARLY REVIEWERS ARE LOVING IT!
–Rush, is written superbly. From start to end all the words piece together beautifully. The story line flows easily through a very solid foundation. The angst ranges from light to heavy to “damn my breath has gone”. Rush is indeed a Rush of epic proportions!

Goodreads

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

Oh my!!  SOOOO uhm yeah…*Blushes* hey Ashy How are you? *Gulps* uhm Knox I didn’t see you there stalking the background. *eyes bug out* Hey Beckett you’re here too. *Whispers to self* I don’t think I can handle all the Montgomery Bothers in the same room at the same time!!  WAY TOO MUCH HOT FOR ONE GIRL!!

Ok so yeah those Montgomery guys are yum.  They are alpha.  They are cocky.  They are arrogant and they are my dream come true!!  LOL  I am totally loving Ash but I gotta say I am prolly licking Knox and calling him mine…juuust staying.

Ash is a total player and if you think he is going to be more than a one night stand, you my friend are stupid.  Ash won’t be tricked into anything and he can’t trust anyone so why even attempt it.

Kins has lived a nightmare.  She is married to a monster who she barely escapes when she goes on the run.  She ran and ran and ran right into Ash.

As much as she fights it is as much as he chases.  When she finally decides to stop living in fear and try to live again they couple explode with hot times……and then we are feeling Kins and her guilt…..she loves Ash but she can’t tell him the truth.  He husband will stop at nothing to get her back.

I gotta say,  I loved dominate Ash but that sweet and gentle Ash won my heart.   I liked the storyline and felt horrible when Ash discovers things about Kins but also wanted to throat punch him a few times too.  His assistant Lex WAS HILARIOUS and I so hope he gets an HEA!!   I am so excited for the next book because Beckett seems like he is mega serious guy and love is going to knock him off his rocker.  However, I notice that this means my boyfriend Knox is last…sigh…fine CA be that way!!

A little about me. Let’s see where to start.
I love HEA stories, as long as they come packing a little heat. I need some excitement, some angst, and moments that make me fan my face are always good too. I am an Illinois girl, born and raised. Simple and true, it honestly doesn’t take much to make me happy. I love the little things; they truly mean the most. I may have a slight addiction to my new Keurig—oh my, that thing is a godsend. And so fast too. I have two children who truly are my very best friends, and their faces never fail to put a smile on my face. I have been married to my husband for sixteen years, and even though at times I want to beat him with a stick, I would never change the years we have had. We have learned and fallen, only to pick each other up, dust off the ache, and help each other make it right.
I am one of those authors that adore my fans. I love to hear from you. After all, it is because of each one of you that I continue to write. I look forward to your feedback.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hello, lovely people! I’m Maggie Adams, author of the best-selling Tempered Steel Series. My first book, Whistlin’ Dixie, a Tempered Steel Novel, debuted at #83 on amazon’s Top 100 in women’s fiction-humor. I write small town romance filled with humor, suspense and erotic sex scenes. In other words, I write about life! I’m married to my high school sweetheart, have two talented children, both married, and a beautiful baby granddaughter.

I also write erotica, paranormal and young adult romance and suspense. So look for me in almost every genre!

When and Why did you start to write?

I’ve always loved books and would often continue the stories in my head with my favorite characters. I don’t really recall exactly when I started writing them down; they’ve just always been with me. I wrote the Tempered Steel Series after my hometown was devastated by a flood, and the story just flowed through me. I decided to try and publish it by myself, with the help of my tech savvy kids, and voila’, I’m a published indie author!

I can’t think of any career more rewarding or challenging. I love every minute of it, especially hearing from my fans and new readers. So drop me a line! I’ve always got time for a chat.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

Oh my tastes have varied through the years, but a good story is a good story. Classic Historical romance is Kathleen Woodiwess. I love Jayne Ann Krentz and how she merges her storylines with her other personas in historical and futuristic novels; erotic suspense has to be Lexi Blake and Shayla Black; and contemporary romance I always one-click my book bestie, Renee Kennedy, but I’ve met so many wonderful authors in the past two years, it’s almost impossible to list them all!

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

I often start out with a loose plan on how the plot is going to go, but somewhere along the line, the characters and dialogue take over and I’m just along for the ride! No matter what, it always makes for an interesting story.

I love the writing process, even the blocks, because it makes me really think about how I want the story to end, as well as expanding my knowledge of many different subjects due to the research involved.

What are you working on now?

I just finished book six in the Tempered Steel Series, Cold As Ice., so I’m working on the seventh and final book to the Tempered Steel Series, Tempered with Love. Although the Coalson family saga may be coming to an end, its not the end for them, as they will pop up in my new paranormal series.

I’m also collaborating on a new series with Renee Kennedy, Heather Szczesiak and Jenni Wynne, as well as a young adult series, the Hot Mess sisterhood with Renee Kennedy, and an erotic series with new erotic author, M. R. Cummings, so I’m pretty busy.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

Oh I’m a little bit of both. As I said earlier, I have a loose plan of where the book or series need to go, but the voices in my head lead the characters to new paths all the time and I just tag along.

It all works out in the end and makes for a pretty interesting story, or so I’ve been told.

Whistlin’ Dixie, Book One in the Tempered Steel Series Review HERE

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi I’m Dakota Trace. I’ve been writing professionally since 2008, but when I’m not clacking away at the keyboard, you can find me putting around the garden, out on the marching band field or cooking up something yummy in the kitchen for my kiddos.

When and Why did you start to write?

I’ve been writing for a long time. I think I wrote my first story in third grade – one about an older sister who had to teach her baby sister all about life. (I was quite precocious at age 8.) The teacher was so impressed, she stapled it together, like a real book and put it in the school library.

I didn’t start my serious writing however, until I was in junior high. My eighth grade language arts teacher caught me scribbling in a notebook in class and asked me to read it. With her encouragement, and a lot of support from my dad, I wrote my first full length story that year – about a girl who could talk to animals. Since then I’ve written numerous full length books and short stories.

However, the why is quite simple. Not only is it an escape from my hectic life as mom to three teenagers, it also gives the voices in my head an outlet. 😉

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

I devour most paranormal books. I love shifter series, particularly those by Shelly Laurenston, Lora Leigh, and Laurann Dohner. But you can also find me reading Draven St. James, Josh Landon, and Cherise Sinclair.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

That when I started writing I was a 100% panster. I let the story take me where it wanted and if I had to cut out huge chunks during edits, okay, it was part of the process. Now, 10 years later, I’m a total plotter. I sit down fill out a GMC for my book before I even start writing it.

What are you working on now?

Right now I’m working a paranormal polar shifter book. I haven’t dabbled in paranormal for awhile, even though I love to read it. And thought it would a nice change from my sexually charged and intense bdsm books.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

Plotter, now. I use both a GMC and Beats worksheets to make sure that I stay on track.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Brandy has done it again, amazing story, amazing plot, loved the twist, and the fight scenes where does she come up with these.  The way she weaves a story together not only the main characters but the side ones too is astounding.

The bond that Isa and Toryn have is wonderful. They are planning their wedding but they have a certain someone that is determined to toss a monkey or should I say spider wrench in their plans. Before I get into that this is full of med doing what they think is best without including the ones they love and will impact the most in their decisions. So much forgiveness occurs between these chapters not only between Isa and her dad but Jackie and those she thought she would never see again.

I enjoyed the way Jackie and Eddie are weaved into this along with all the other characters. Something big is going to happen cannot help but feel all of this will come into play. The buildup to what is going to happen is agonizing in the beginning.

Let’s talk Kellan and Saressa for a minute. Loved the way Kellan learned to block his mother…after learning this all I could think was EPIC things are going to happen. Kellan I wondered the same thing Yes, mean one why are you being so nice and what do you have planned? Ok that is not exactly what he said but that is what I was thinking.   While on the subject of Saressa OMG the creepy crawlies Saressa’s carries around with her creeped me out just about if not more than Damha does.

If you have not checked out this series What are you waiting for? The strong females Brandy writes are next to none and the battle scenes holly crap where does she come up with these. I was in Aww of the fight with Damha, spider boy, and Isa WOW can she fight. Can I just say I want to see Xander find a mate one that is strong and will keep him on his toes and walking the line. I am so ready for another book in this series.

A few of my favorite lines:

“Ah, but from the moment I laid eyes on you, I was yours to command. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”

“You can’t change the past, you can only move forward”

Brandy L Rivers is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. She is kept busy writing the Others of Seattle, Others of Edenton, Combustible, and the Pine Barrens Pack series.
An avid reader, Brandy has always loved writing. She became serious about it as a stay-at-home-mother. With every story her world of characters expands, pulling her new directions.
Living in rainy Western Washington with her husband and three kids, Brandy is already working on future stories in each of the series, and several other projects.

Ren Lewis is the most powerful man in the world and he’s about to prove it. God, Ren believes, has battled him his entire life, trying to use him as a pawn or punish him for his wrong doings. This man, with powers most can’t fathom, has been content to use his skills to help humanity. However, when God makes a move that will carve out Ren’s heart for the rest of his life, he makes the decision to finally outmaneuver the Almighty Creator. Using technology, philosophy, quantum physics, psychology and spirituality, Ren attempts to do something that millions of people throughout history have only dreamed of. Because he’s a strategic man, Ren plans to break God’s laws and be the first human to ever do the unspeakable.
This last installment in the Ren series is the final evolution in a man’s life who thought he never should have been born. Ren’s journey teaches him that not only does he have a heart, but that as powerful as he is, he is nothing without the love in his life. Ren Lewis will gain the power to hack the system to beat God at his own game, but will he be successful or banished to solitude?

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

This is the final in the Ren series I am sad to see it end but can I just say the emotional roller coaster in this one was real. I love Ren and his heart, he has me giggling at times and completely wrecked me at others. I enjoyed seeing a new side to Ren. He is on a mission and he will not be stopped. He is still trying to fix the world but also has his own mission going. The bond between Ren and his family is more than amazing. Even though Ren does not believe he can love with the monster that is in him it still finds a way to peek our every now and then.

The moments Ren has with Adailine, Trey and even Lucin was heartfelt and heartbreaking at the same time. The friend and family bonds are strong.

The ending was great but I really would like to see more of Adailine and see Lucin grow and find his power.  So long Ren it was a great run. I do have to ask is this truly the end or is there more to the story?

This deserves waaaay more than 5 stars! Just amazing, wow…speechless. If found myself speechless a lot during this book. I assume that if you are reading this you have followed Ren (if not, you must start now!) Ren has always been a snarky, no nonsense, pain in the rear Brit. But we find out that he is truly miserable. He is about to lose all his marbles and is going against the great creator, God. He is determined to turn things around to make things right for himself and the love of his life. Neither can survive without the other. This story is full of surprises. All about second chances and finding great gifts in the midst of tragedy. Death never fails to deliver but can he change this? Change fate? Ren will show you exactly how many layers he has and the pure strength that he has to go the distance for all his loved ones. If you haven’t fallen in love with Ren yet, this will surely change your mind. Sarah Noffke has a way with words. She knows exactly how to entertain me but twist my heart around and make it hard to talk for a while 🙂 I was on the edge of my seat constantly trying to figure out the next move. The Ren series is extremely awesome and very unique (haha! Sarah I hope you caught that – Ren thinks that this is simply a waste of words). This is one of my favorite series of all time. But wait til the end….I think there will be a surprise!

Sarah Noffke writes YA and NA sci-fi fantasy and is the author of the Lucidites, Reverians, Ren and Vagabond Circus series. She holds a Masters of Management and teaches college business courses. Most of her students have no idea that she toils away her hours crafting fictional characters. Noffke’s books are top rated and best-sellers on Kindle. Currently, she has eleven novels published.
