Shifter Romances to Read This Summer ~ June Come Out and Play #Giveaway #Bloghop

As an avid reader, I'm always looking for new books to read. When I find them, I'm eager to share. I've been in the mood for shifters lately. Probably because I've been writing several shifter romances for some upcoming boxed sets that are releasing this year. In the past, I've written dragons, werewolves and cougar shifters. 

Next month, Stranded with the Jaguar will be released with Midsummer Night Shifts: A Limited Edition Summer Shifter Romance Collection.

Unleash the beast within!

Fall in love with shifters stalking through the moonlit heat of a summer night.

Join the hunt as these shifters slide through the shadows unseen, stalk their enemies, pursue their loves, and take down their prey.

Sink your teeth into 20+ stories of hot city streets, steamy tropical jungles, pack politics, and fated mates as the heroines and heroes embrace their inner animals.

Fans of Dannika Dark, Terry Bolryder, Celia Kyle, Eva Chase, and T.S. Joyce will love this sizzling collection of shifter tales!

Get Your Copy

These are some other shifter romances that are on my to-be-read list for summer reading. Some are hot, some are sweet...all are 100% paranormal romances.

Bound to Change

Change is the only constant in a shifter's world.

These shifters will defy tradition, tragedy, and fate to find their true loves. Through ominous prophecies and quests of glory, they're bound to change-and bound to each other.

And if there's anything a shifter knows for sure, it's that there's no way to outrun their animal sides.

Whether they transform with the pull of the moon or at will, through a curse or a gift, or simply because of evolution, you'll adore the shifters in this limited edition spring collection brought to you by New York Times, USA Today, and bestselling authors.

Under Her Skin by Margo Bond Collins

She's lucky he's a charmer. He's lucky she doesn't bite. Much...

Lindi Parker works hard at being human, not an easy task for a snake shifter. She has no desire to search for others like her - until a new case changes everything. When Lindi learns she's not the only shapeshifter in the world, she also realizes she might be next on a killer's list.

In order to save herself and the abused children she works with, she will have to team up with Dr. Kade Nevala, a member of the shifter tribe responsible for eradicating weresnakes - and the most attractive man Lindi's ever met. Even more terrifying, she'll need to embrace her serpent side, a choice that has enormous consequences for Lini, and for everyone around her.

Wolf Kiss by Christine DePetrillo

Warrior Reardon McAlator kills anyone's enemies for the right prices. Victory comes easy to him and his fierce army...until one day, they meet their match. Faced with the possibility of destroying their legendary winning streak, Reardon takes action. He makes his men more like him and angers the wrong Celtic goddess. Banished from her protection, he wakes up alone in a different place, in a different time, and in a world of pain. He must do something worthy to get home to Ireland, but maybe home isn't where he thought it was.

Wildlife biologist Dr. Brandy Wendon cares for wolves - and her sister's son, Dylan - at Silver Moon Wolf Sanctuary in the woods of Vermont. She loves everything about her work, including secretly researching clinical lycanthropy just for the fun of it. It's what nerds do. Brandy stays busy, but in the lonely hours of the night, she can't deny something is missing. If only she could find that soul mate people are always mentioning. As if one perfect match for her really exists.

When a pained howl echoes from the dark forest beyond the sanctuary fence, Brandy meets a wolf unlike any to cross her path. Why does she grow instantly connected to him? Why does he become so important to her?

She'll only get answers if she accepts a wolf kiss.

Cover Wars ~ Loving Boone #pnr #shifterlove #bookcover

I'm excited to announce that my paranormal romance, Loving Boone, is up for Author Shout's Cover Wars this week! 

I would LOVE if you would take a moment and vote. As described in the rules, you can vote once a day, within a 24-hour period all week long.

I don't like to pick favorites among my books, since I really do love them all for different reasons, but Loving Boone holds a special place in my heart. 

The cover was designed by one of my great friends at Red Fist Fiction. And the story itself is one that means so much to me. It's sweet, passionate, powerful, dark but filled with hope.

Thanks for voting!

A little bit about Loving Boone:

Beth-Ann Miller returns to her Tennessee mountain home to find chaos erupting between her survivalist family and their shape-shifting neighbors. Her father is convinced the were-cougar clan is responsible for the murders occurring in their area and interrogates one of the shifters, Boone Evans, her childhood sweetheart. When Boone declares several members of his shifter family have gone missing including his little brother, Beth-Ann suspects someone else is behind both the murders and abductions.

Boone never expected to see Beth-Ann again. When she frees him from her father's cabin and promises to help find his brother, Boone doesn't plan on rekindling their passionate love affair or facing the pain of past mistakes. Nor does he plan on coming face to face with the man responsible for altering his family's life forever.

With men hunting the were-cougars, can Beth-Ann and Boone risk all to have a future together? Or is loving Boone too high a price to pay?

Hidden Names in the Stories #IWSG #CharacterNames #DarkShadows

The first Wednesday of every month is officially 

Insecure Writer's Support Group day.

The Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It's a safe have for insecure writers of all kinds!

IWSG Asks: Writers have secrets! What are one or two of yours, something readers would never know from your work?

Yes, I have a secret. I mean, it's not really a secret, but it's something that I don't think any reader would pick up on without me telling them.

A few people know of my passion and obsession for certain TV shows, in particular, the 1960's soap opera, Dark Shadows. I credit Dark Shadows as being the inspiration for my writing career as well as the spark of my supernatural interest. If you've never heard of Dark Shadows, I've talked about it before on my blog. I fell completely in love with this show. Because I watched it when I was so young, the show introduced me to vampires, witches, werewolves, ghosts and all the other creatures that go bump in the night.

As homage to my favorite show, I always include a name from someone in the show, whether it's a cast member or a character, in my books. I use a name for one of the main characters or one of the minor characters, but somewhere in each of my stories there is a name from someone in Dark Shadows. 

Now, let me clarify, I'm only using simple names. Names you would find in any baby name book. The characters in my stories are of my own creation. They do not resemble anyone from the show, nor are they inspired from any particular character. I do not write fan fiction.

It started simply. Growing up, I always imagined naming my children Angelique and Quentin, two of my favorite characters from the show. I love these names! When I was pregnant with my first child, my husband wasn't too thrilled with my choices for baby names, so I never got to use those names for my children. 

So, I did the next best thing. I used them for characters in my stories (which are sort of like children, aren't they?). And it continued from there. Whenever I got stuck with choosing a name for a character, I'd think of a Dark Shadows name. Sometimes I pick names without even thinking about Dark Shadows and later I realize there was a character or actor with the same name in the show. Now, it's become almost like a game when I'm writing. I don't even know I'm doing it until later when I go back and look.

Some writers use phone books to pick names for their characters, I use the cast and crew from Dark Shadows. 

Now, it could just be coincidence. There are a lot of people in the show, so there are lots of names! But, I like to think of it as honoring a show that has meant so much to me. A way to honor the people who worked so hard to bring entertainment to generations of fans.

A few for example: 

• Julia Grey in The Witch's Thief was named in honor of Dr. Julia Hoffman. 
• Sebastian Collins in The Witch and the Vampire was named after the entire Collins Family.
• Laura Remington in Cupid's Arrow (A Wink and a Smile Anthology) was named after Laura Collins.
• Angelique DuBois in The Wolf's Bride (Guardian: A Collection of Alpha Wolves) was named after Angelique Bouchard.

And, yes, I'm using Quentin Collin's name in my upcoming book called Unleashed in Midsummer Night Shifts: A Limited Edition Summer Shifter Romance Collection.

For any Dark Shadows fan who reads my books, I consider these little secret Easter Eggs hidden in my stories, whether they know it or not. And when I run out of Dark Shadows names to pay tribute to, well... Supernatural has been airing for 15 seasons. Lots of names to pick there!

Be safe! Stay healthy! Keep writing!
