My name is Tricia Andersen and I am an author from Iowa. I write paranormal, Greek gods, contemporary, historical , and fighter romance. I have three kids and one four legged baby. I’m also a huge advocate and fan of women’s wrestling and love to travel with my husband.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
I think the first book in a series is harder. Once the first book is done, I already have established characters and locations. From there I just need to give the book its own story.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I like to try to write stories that are different than what are on the market. I love to explore genres that I was interested in college and incorporate it into my writing.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Take time for yourself. Find time to take a break or set a reward for yourself. And never give up on what you love.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
I spend an hour or two writing each day. I do wish it was more.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
Freddy from the Gods of DC series. He loves without judgement and sticks up for the entire family.
If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?
I always envisioned current WWE announcer Wade Barrett as Sloan O’Riley. I would love to see KJ Apa as Freddy.
What is your definition of success?
Being happy with what you are doing to the point that it’s all you want to do.

And what will the rest of the Pantheon have to say about her big, bad savior?
She literally fell from the sky. Mack frees the blonde from the burning wreck of the jet and brings her into his home despite his dislike of virtually everyone.

Death seems like the only answer for Rhett. The nightmares of a war he left behind keeps him from sleeping and pushes him closer to the edge. Moments before he can take his own life, however, his high school best friend, Morgan, shows up at his motel door in all her purple haired glory. She offers him a place to live in her apartment, a job at her tattoo parlor and a new chance at life. Can he put aside the feelings that he’s had for her since they were teenagers, or will his PTSD push her away like everyone else?
Morgan would do anything to keep Rhett safe. She brings him into her home, takes care of him and hires him to work for her in her shop. While she tells herself that it’s because he’s her best friend, she knows that it is more than that. She has loved him from the beginning., from the moment she began tutoring him in the school library. Can she hang on to him through the violent mood swings, the sneaky ex-finance who tries to win him back, everything else that tries to pull them apart or will she lose him forever?
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
I read this book when it was in an anthology. I was excited when Tricia said she was expanding the story of Rhett and Morgan. The anthology short story was good but the expansion was even better.
Rhett and Morgan were high school “friends”. She was the nerd hired to tutor the high school jock. They didn’t realize how in love they had fallen but high school being high school neither would face the music of friends for being with the other so they stayed silent with their longing.
Fast forward to Morgan saving Rhett from the darkest place he could imagine being after the War. Rhett has serious PTSD and Morgan is all in for saving her friend and the man of her dreams.
Rhett and Morgan have a lot to deal with between her admirers and his ex-fiancée. Plus, they have to deal with his mental health from the war. The scars he carries are traumatic. They have some blurring of boundaries and looking at what they want.
When Rhett and Morgan finally admit what they want they story is amazing and then another twist I didn’t see coming. I was so invested in the couple and loved every chapter of the book, I would have loved even a few more…..

The Hallows have been exiled from their home and the cell towers that sustained their income are burned to the ground. Their only hope rests on Caleb and Joshua who fly to Tokyo to plead for their contracts with LunaBit, the app company they work for. The night before their big meeting, Joshua is drawn to a blonde at a bar. After a night of amazing, sensual sex, he wakes up alone, bearing the mating mark of his ancestors, similar to the ones his six brothers already share with their mates.
When the brothers finally meet with Maya Johansson, LunaBit’s Vice President of the North American Division, Joshua discovers she is the woman who was his bed the night before. Maya holds secrets of her own, which includes being aware of what the tattoo she now bears means. She demands that Joshua returns to Los Angeles to negotiate the family’s contracts with LunaBit. Joshua agrees, willing to do anything to protect his loved ones in Minnesota. However, can he withstand a fabricated marriage, tension with an ex-boyfriend, and a new father-in-law that is pure evil incarnate? And can he save the Hallows home before they all fall to the vampires who want them dead?
I was given this book by the author for an honest review
I have loved each story of each of the brothers and enjoyed what NEW story line they bring to the overall arc of the series.
Josh and Maya were certainly a good read. Josh is the last single brother, and he is all about not settling down. When a one-night stand turns into ever after…he is not so thrilled initially with his mate. Josh teases his brother Cay about having one woman for the rest of his life when he gets to enjoy the single life while they are in Toyko. The family’s gaming apps are in trouble with the owner, and they are being called to headquarters to deal with the mess ups. Cay and Josh goes for a quick drink when all of a sudden he mating signs show up. Cay laughs his butt off because he knows what’s going to happen.
Maya needs to cut loose. Being the VP of the gaming company is cutthroat business especially when a ex is a rival for her job. Chaz is trying to make Maya look incompetent so he can take her job. Maya sees the tall dark rink of water and says yes to one night. When she wakes up with the tattoo her behavior and reaction isn’t what Josh expected.
Maya does he best to keep Josh at bay, but the bond is too much. When she comes clean about who she is and who her family consists of, yup another awesome addition to the crazy Hallow family. Maya and Josh go through a lot to make things work and find a way to be together they can both be happy with. Throw in vampires, not so nice dad’s, demons, and ya know orphans the story takes you on a great journey.
I absolutely LOVE this series and cannot wait for more!!! Plus I would like to add that more Joe is always good and this book had some Joe scenes to make this girl happy. #TeamJoeForever!!

Well with the fate of the family business in the hands of their boss, Caleb and Josh find themselves in Japan for a huge meeting to try to save their jobs while fighting to save their homes and family from vampires who want them dead. At eh bar josh started feeling this odd urge he’s never felt before then walks in a beautiful woman no he’s at a lost for words he just knows he wants her naked in his bed, and that’s what happens. Little does he know that his new mate is the boss he’s about to have a meeting with to save the family’s contract and job. Maya does one thing work and don’t like to deal with feelings after her ex used her to try and get her VP job she has a hard time trusting men, while hiding a secret of her own. But when she spots Josh and wakes up with the mating tattoo she already knows what he is and what it means but she’s not willing to let it affect her job and what she needs to do. Will their new found relationship get in the way of business, and the vampires get what they want.

She doesn’t believe she has a soul.
She believes it was stolen from her when that bastard turned her into the creature she is now.
But little does she know, she does. What is there isn’t dark and twisted, defiled by the lust for blood. She is pure and loving, with a body and attitude that arouses me every moment of the day. And I will move universes and defy my father and mother to make her into something I’m worthy of loving, someone that will stay by my side through eternity.
I will fight the forces of the gods to make her mine. I won’t stop until she belongs to me forever. And how am I, just a mere fighter, going to do that?
Because, baby, I’m a god.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
I want to start by saying I LOVED Claire’s narration. I loved how she brought the characters to life. A bad narrator can ruin a book but I loved what she did and how she helped the story come to life.
HOLY MOLY this book knocked my socks off!!! Paranormal meets the Greek Gods?? Uhm YES PLEASE!!! When Tricia told me about this book, I was super excited. When I finally got the book, I was ecstatic. I can’t say enough how much I loved reading this book. But remembering all the Gods from college, I was like “OMG Yes I remember them.”
Juliet is a typical vampire looking to score some blood. Well our little vampire is a little more than usual because she actually cares about who she drains dry. She strolls into the underground MMA fight looking for meal, when she sees the most beautiful and sexy man EVAH!! She is all “Game on” with this one. She knows he might be a bit more of a challenge, but she is ready for it. She is stunned when all of a sudden, the man of hour is right there at the bar hitting on her …along with others things he does with her at the bar *snickers*
Ares, the God of War, is mesmerized by the vampire at the club. He knows she will be able to “handle his appetites” so he dives into a night of fun with the little minx. He is loving spending time with her because she challenges him at every turn and he loves it. He can’t get enough of her telling HIM, the God of War, No!! I love the banter the two have because they cracked me up a lot.
When Ares and Juliet discover there are serious emotions at play, they both freak. The last person Ares loves was Aphrodite and we all know how wonderful their relationship turned out….not good if you weren’t aware. The last person who Juliet loved broke her heart and turned her into the creature she is now. Love and Trust is not something these two people can willingly accept from others.
His family hates her and wants her dead. His ex has become a bit too clingy and needy…ya know I don’t want you but I don’t want anyone else to have you type of chick *eye roll*….her maker is all about claiming what is his again after hundreds of years, PLUS the vampire hunter is closing in on Juliet. There is so much action and so many plot twists you never see what will happen next!! I seriously hope we get another book really soon and I am BEGGING for it to be Aletha because I just loved her so hard but Pan would be pretty funny to see which nymph captures his heart.

Fear University (Book 1) by Meg Collett
I’ve always known I was a monster, and I don’t mean some teenage vampire shit either.
My mother abandoned me when I was ten years old because I have a freakish mutant disease that makes me incapable of feeling pain. I bounced from one foster family to another because too many people like to test my medical condition in a game of “Try To Make Ollie Scream.” At sixteen, I killed a man for taking that game too far.
Two years later, I’m still on the run in Kodiak, Alaska. Here, I’m the most dangerous person around, until I come face to face with a creature that should only exist in folklore. The monster is an aswang, and I, with my medical anomaly, am uniquely qualified to hunt the beast that haunts the night. At least, that’s what the two scarred, mostly crazy ’swang hunters tell me when they kidnap me and take me to Fear University, a school where young students learn to hunt and kill aswangs.
I arrive at the university a prisoner, but I stay because I finally find my freedom.
For once in my life, I belong. I’m needed. I make a home for myself inside the university masquerading as an old Alaskan prison. Something close to happiness warms my icy heart when I’m with my scarred, still mostly crazy tutor, Luke Aultstriver. For a murdering runaway like me, Fear University is a haven where I can put my skills to good use hunting monsters in the night.
But when certain truths come to light and even more lies are exposed, I fear that I, Ollie Andrews, am the worst kind of monster of all. And, maybe, they should be hunting me.
This book is recommended for mature readers due to sexual content, violence, and language.

Susan Griscom writes paranormal and contemporary romance–steamy and sexy are the way they usually turn out. She’s a huge fan of superheroes and bad boys confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers, and abilities beyond the norm mixed with hot, blow-your-socks-off romance.
She grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania doing a lot of daydreaming. It’s no big surprise that she writes romance stories, since many nights as a child she would lay awake fantasizing about her knight in shining armor.

Having never achieved fame and fortune for that play, she attempted life the normal way with other activities, such as, working as a food lab technician, bartender, and cell phone repair technician, and a mom.
Now she lives in Northern California with a gorgeous view of Folsom Lake from her office where she stills spends a lot of time daydreaming. She loves to drink wine and fortunately there are several local wineries close by. Together, she and her modern day knight have five great superhero kids and nine mini-superhero grandkids, so far.

Can town librarian Lily Dixon and MMA bad boy Reese Cooper keep their love affair a secret in small town Iowa? Braden, Iowa is the last place on earth Reese Cooper wanted to be but a devastating injury in the octagon forces the MMA fighter back to the small town he once called home. He barely steps foot on Main Street before he is reunited with Lily Dixon, the town librarian and the girl who possessed his heart since they were in kindergarten.

Is she willing to risk everything when her preacher father finds out about her love affair with the town bad boy? And what will happen when Reese goes back to Vegas, leaving her alone in Braden without him?
I bought this book and listened to the audio book.
This is a sweet insta love story about town bad boy Reese who comes home after a log absence to recoup after a bad fight. He is stunned stupid to see the one women he cant seems to shake out of his system still looking as beautiful as he remembered.
Lilly has always had a crush on town bad boy Reese but knew he was not interested in her in any way. When he comes back to town and starts kissing her ear, she is confused because how can the only person she ever loved be here in town and kissing her ear!!!
The love story is insta love in the fact it moves very quickly, and they are professing their love for one another. They are trying to hide the relationship from her father who is the town preacher and does not approve. Reese also worries about Lilly’s reputation in the small town if things get out about what they are doing in the evening *wink*
The couple have a few things to work out like is Reese leaving when he rehabs his injury, what happens when his MMA promoter comes back and what happens when a secret is soon spilled about Lilly!!
If you enjoy insta love stories you will enjoy this book.
I will saw this narration isn’t my favorite. I almost wonder if I might have enjoyed the book more with me reading vs listening to his voice.
