Excuse me if I am a little lost at the moment. I have been finding solace in beloved books and music, most recently musicals. Since college, I have played many musical theater roles, including Mother Abbess in the Sound of Music and Bloody Mary in South Pacific. I think I've spent my happiest days with music, so forgive me as I indulge in my treasured pastime. Here are a few of my favorites.

NOW AVAILABLE 
BLOOD ECSTASY
by Tessa Dawn

Book #8 in the
Blood Curse Series
(in eBook, print, and audio)



 
Some wounds run deeper than others.
Some tragedies never heal.
Some enemies just won't give up...
BLOOD ECSTASY ~ where the past and the present collide.

Julien Lacusta is a troubled soul, born into tragic circumstances, and raised in a violent time. Despite being a Master Warrior in the house of Jadon, and one of the most elite trackers the Vampyr have ever seen, he is damaged to the core: tormented by endless shadows, haunted by unseen ghosts. And he knows-by all the celestial gods; he knows-that if he ever releases those demons, the beasts that lurk within, there will be hell, fire, and brimstone to pay.
 
The very earth will suffer.  
 
Rebecca Johnston is fighting hellhounds of her own: a stalker who won't let her go, an enemy she cannot defeat, a life that is no longer safe...or free. When she ventures into Dark Moon Vale to raise funds for a worthy cause, she has no idea that she is knocking on the door of fate. She has no idea that an ancient Blood Moon and an inescapable dark Curse are about to change her life.
 
Caught in a web of ever-increasing danger, the machinations of an ancient foe, and a burgeoning house of lies, Julien and Rebecca must summon their courage, face their fears head-on, and fight their way through the chemical allure of BLOOD ECSTASY.

CELEBRATING THE RE-RELEASE

OF





It is the 20th century in California and the main character, a woman, has lived her life to the fullest. Nestled in her favorite spot during a snow storm she recalls the events of her life from her earliest memories of resisting birth and losing that futile battle to finding her true love and their beautiful family. There are monkey wrenches thrown in at every turn as she struggles to find her place; demonic teachers, cliquish students, her nightmare job, a love lost, and an earthquake that threatens her family. Life continues to dismay her until she can’t take it anymore and sets off on a journey. She is a lost soul with no destination, a wandering heart until something happens, something so incredible she could have never imagined it! Through her harrowing and dark story she finds light, justice and true love. She is a humble and lovable character who is quite ordinarily extraordinary. Her story is anyone’s story.







Available in Ebook, paperback and audiobook.

RELEASE DAY


CIRCLES OF TRUST

by

CHRISTINE HART



Davis believed his life and everything about it was perfect. He had a great job, his own house on the beach complete with a private 'dungeon' for his more adventurous encounters, great friends, the perfect club membership at a private BDSM club, and what he felt was most important, total control - until the day he was forced to realize that perfection wasn't something he could control.

Imanya and Kaena were as opposite as two women could be, but had one thing in common...Davis.
Learning to trust again will prove that while he is the 'dominant' in the bedroom, they control what really matters...his heart.

About The Author:

Christine Hart started writing about romance in grade school when she wrote a story about a love struck puppy. The puppy got his happy ending and Christine became addicted to writing. Believing there can never be enough romance in the world, Christine enjoys writing about unusual, quirky and slightly neurotic characters who sometimes make unlikely choices as they deal with even more unlikely situations but always find true love and their happily-ever-afters. She currently resides in California and even when life interrupts, which it usually does, has made it a rule to write every day - even if it's only one line.
