Historical Giveaway: A STORM OF PASSION and A STORM OF PLEASURE

Posted in Romance on June 28th, 2011 by Cynthia Eden

Update: The winner of A STORM OF PASSION and A STORM OF PLEASURE is…Gabrielle J!

Sometimes, I love to get lost in a great historical romance, and Kensington Brava author Terri Brisbin is certainly skilled at writing such great tales.  Her latest book, MISTRESS OF THE STORM, is a powerful blend of historical and paranormal romance.

An epic struggle for dominance is ravaging the Isle of Skye. And in its midst, a man and a woman are locked together by fate—and fantasy…

Odious though it is, Isabel knows what she must do: go to the one known as the Healer, seduce him, and recruit him to her power-hungry stepfather’s cause. If she refuses, her innocent young sister will pay the terrible price of her disobedience. Yet after just one night with the man she must manipulate, it is clear to Isabel that even if she succeeds, the deceit will not leave her unscathed. For in the Healer’s powerful arms, her heart is lost forever…

Duncan of Skye knows there are those who would use his unusual gift for their own selfish gain. Even so, he yearns to trust the beautiful temptress who warms his bed and fills him with insatiable passion. And when he must choose between her future and his own, he may have to risk everything—even his life…

NEVER CRY WOLF–It’s Party Time (Plus Gift Certificate!)

Posted in Romance on June 28th, 2011 by Cynthia Eden

Update: The winner of the $15 Amazon.com gift certificate is…June M!

NEVER CRY WOLF is available today! It should be available on the shelves of your local store or  shipping from your favorite online retailer.

For the rest of the day, it will be party time at the blog. Lots of great guest authors. Lots of great prizes.  I hope you enjoy the posts–and I want to thank you for stopping by to help me celebrate. Thank you!!!

I love werewolves. Love them. They’re strong. They’re fierce.  They’re more than a bit wild.  Lucas Simone, my wolf shifter hero in NEVER CRY WOLF, is a guy that will never be fully controlled.  He’s dangerous, he’s dark, and he’s not  perfect Prince Charming material.  But I think that’s okay.

New release – Tuesday’s Child! Win a free ecopy!

Posted in Romance on June 23rd, 2011 by guest

Update!  The free ecopy of Tuesday’s Child, by random decision, goes to Donnas.  Expect an email shortly.  Thank you everyone who stopped by and commented!

Do you remember the awesome Brava Writing With The Stars Contest? Well, my mentee from that contest–the very talented Dale Mayer, is my guest today. I loved reading Dale’s book, TUESDAY’S CHILD, and she’s here to share some exciting news about her story. Dale, it’s a pleasure to have you with us!

Hi Everyone!

Thanks so much Cynthia for inviting me here today. I’m delighted to be back and to be giving away a free ecopy of my debut novel.

Tuesday’s Child has been the manuscript close to my heart for a long time. It’s in the middle of a series (like how inconvenient is that?), called Psychic Visions, and was a main contender in the Kensington Brava/RT times contest last year (on through the New Year). The contest is also where I was lucky enough to meet Cynthia! She’s been a great mentor, supporter and dare I say friend. Both of us blog at Magical Musings on a regular basis.

These characters are close to my heart and so is the premise behind them.  I’ve always been fascinated by the metaphysical world. I’ve had some incredible personal experiences and spent hours lost in fascinating research on psychic phenomenon.

What she doesn’t want…is exactly what he needs.

Shunned and ridiculed all her life for something she can’t control, Samantha Blair hides her psychic abilities and lives on the fringes of society. Against her will, however, she’s tapped into a killer—or rather, his victims. Each woman’s murder, blow-by-blow, ravages her mind until their death releases her back to her body. Sam knows she must go to the authorities, but will the rugged, no-nonsense detective in charge of tracking down the killer believe her?

Detective Brandt Sutherland only trusts hard evidence, yet Sam’s visions offer clues he needs to catch a killer. The more he learns about her incredible abilities, however, the clearer it becomes that Sam’s visions have put her in the killer’s line of fire. Now Brandt must save her from something he cannot see or understand…and risk losing his heart in the process.

As danger and desire collide, passion raises the stakes in a game Sam and Brandt don’t dare lose.

I do enjoy working in Photoshop but like many writers, my days are full and the learning curve from amateur to professional is steep. Thank heavens for another friend of mine and her cover artist skills extraordinaire – Laura Morrigan.

Tuesday’s Child is available at Amazon.com now.   The print version will be available in August!  Book 2 of Psychic Visions, Hide’n Go Seek, will be released by the end of July.

Dangerous Designs, my debut YA, will be released on June 30th – if not earlier!

In my research, I’ve come across incredible psychic experiences, including out of body experiences, life after death visions, premonition, sightings of people long gone, etc.  Have you a psychic experience you’d like to share?

I’ll start.  I was in hospital years ago, when I was given a drug that I reacted to – badly.  Given through a needle,  the drug felt like ice moving up my arm.  By the time the sensation reached just above my elbow, I passed out.  Or did I?  I could hear the nurses calling my name as they tried to bring me back out.  Only I was floating down the hallway just outside my hospital room at the ceiling height and looking down at the tile floor.  I could even see out the window. I didn’t want to come back, but with the next calling of my name, I woke up.  To this day, I get shivers thinking about it.

Your turn!  And remember, one person will win a free ecopy of Tuesday’s Child.
