Book blurb: You don’t stop
living when you die.
Have
you ever wondered what happens when you die?
They're
called Deadliners, they're spirits and they play fate with human lives. These
'deadline assignments' have karma, which must be cleared by the time they die.
What the Deadliners don't know is that by helping others they are also clearing
karma of their own.
They're
a strong family unit who would do anything for one another - until one of them
has to take Danny's wife over to the other side. Will they be able to go
through with it? The group finds themselves in unfamiliar territory as each one
of them faces their toughest lesson since they've died: letting go.
Danny
loses control as his friends start doing what they want instead of their jobs.
What was making them forget their training? Is there something darker going on?
Never before had a Deadliner group been so torn apart by the challenges that
each one had to face.

bio:
A.J. Navarre lives in the
smog-filled oasis of California's Central Valley, where she spends the days at
a desk covered in paper and half-empty rum bottles. When she takes herself
seriously, she writes stories that fall under paranormal, science fiction, and
the spaces between. Witches casting spells through tattoos, werewolves falling
in love with ghosts, shapeshifting rebels fighting against flesh-harvesting
factories... The focus is wide, but the emphasis remains the same: fresh,
passionate, character-driven stories.

Book
blurb:
Seventeen-year-old Nina Belmonte knows her way around death; as the daughter of
wolf witches lost in a magical catastrophe when she was just a baby, she grew
up used to fighting on her own, tooth and claw.
But
her new next-door neighbor is something she’s never met, something that
shouldn't exist. He’s a vampire; vicious, cunning, and determined to hunt her
down and suck her dry. Nina knows she can’t beat him alone, but the only person
willing to believe her is Gideon, a young renegade agent as mysterious as the
magictech organization he once worked for. Despite the danger, his presence
lights up her heart with hope—and maybe something more.
Death
comes for everyone, but Nina never gives up without a fight. And if she and
Gideon can’t hold off the vampire’s teeth, she’ll lose everything—her family,
her chance at love, and her life.

Rosanna has two books featured on
our blog tour!
Book Blurb #1: Bear shifter Ryland
Snow just wants peace. The peace and quiet afforded him at his woodsy retreat,
the Ursa Fishing Lodge. As owner of the lodge, Ryland enjoys the tranquil life
he’s created among his fellow shifters. He lives to maintain a safe haven for them,
away from meddlesome human eyes.
When
his rock star brother arrives, bringing trouble in the form of a possible
hitman, Ryland is incensed. He’s been cleaning up Soren’s messes as long as he
can remember, and is tired of his brother’s lecherous exploits.
Things
go from bad to worse when Lia Goodblood stumbles upon Ryland and his lodge.
Yes, the reclusive erotica author is easy on the eyes, but the human woman is
more trouble than she’s worth. To say nothing of her bizarre fear of furry
creatures.
Ryland
determines to rid himself of her presence. But when he learns she’s on the run
from a crazed fan, Ryland’s protective bear instincts flare. And the bear won’t
be denied.
Predator’s Kiss is available at http://www.lsbooks.com/predators-kiss-p794.php and all ebooksellers.
Book Blurb #2: For
years, wolf shifter Bart Cairo has harbored secret feelings for his co-worker,
Charlotte Moffatt. Even though he thinks he’s been discreet with his
affections, everyone at Gemini Island’s Ursa Fishing Lodge knows he and
Charlotte, a fellow wolf shifter, are meant to be mates. Everyone but
Charlotte.
Charlotte couldn’t be less interested in mating. A free spirit, she wants nothing more than to succeed at her new career in the big city and leave small-town Gemini Island behind. However, she can’t deny Bart stirs up unwanted emotions inside her. Emotions she swore she’d never feel again.
The occasion of Bart’s family reunion compels him to assume new responsibilities, and to consider a role he never envisioned for himself. Family tensions rise to the surface as a new Alpha is proclaimed in his pack. And when old grudges escalate, Bart must stake his claim.
Charlotte resists as he stakes a claim on her as well. But when he begins to employ sexual tactics of temptation, she wonders if the only solution is submission to the enticing wolf man. Can she trust her heart again? And can they find their happy ending before an enemy cuts their story short?

alpha lost his mate two years ago and took an evil witch as his new bride. Ever
since then, Eli’s leadership has become violent, bordering on insane. When Eli
attacks him, Nik’s healing powers mysteriously vanish. He can’t defend himself,
nor protect the wolf he secretly loves. Only through the help of a foul-mouthed
witch and an overly-dramatic dwarf will he save her – but their assistance
comes at a price.
Caroline

hesitation. After all, she senses their mating bond loud and clear. Then
Nik disappears. She confronts her father who tells her Nik is dead, and she’s
next on the chopping block. Without Nik to protect her, she flees the
pack and is kidnapped by a man half her size.
Reunited
at last, the young wolves have one last chance to ignite their bond. But love
must wait when battle looms. Eli and his wife attack, and aren’t above using
dirty tricks to win. If Nik and Caroline survive the battle, the dwarf and his
wife will require them to make a promise that will change their lives forever.

Book Blurb: They were supposed to be enemies,
not lovers. Tanner Lyons is a shifter without a pack, which is just the way he
likes it—until he rescues Olivia Bennett, princess of the Lightbearers.
Suddenly, he finds himself fighting an attraction that makes no sense, because
Lightbearers and shifters have been mortal enemies since the beginning of time.
Intrigue, adventure, magic, and passion – you’ll find it all in Into the
Light, Book 1 of Tami Lund’s exciting new fantasy series, Lightbearers.
Shifters dominate the human
world, while Lightbearers stay hidden away in their magically protected
coterie. That is, until Olivia Bennett, princess of the Lightbearers, is
captured by the most powerful shifter of them all—Quentin Lyons, who believes
that to kill a Lightbearer is to inherit her magic.
His
son, Tanner, doesn’t believe his father’s theory. In the ultimate betrayal,
Tanner rescues Olivia and vows to return her to her home. Along the way, he
discovers two other Lightbearers who have left the safety of the coterie, not
to mention an attraction to the Lightbearer princess that becomes increasingly
more difficult to ignore with each hour he spends in her company.
The
attraction makes no sense. Lightbearers and shifters have been mortal enemies since
the dawn of time. He’s supposed to feel the urge to kill her, not … well, you
know.
Despite
shifters who are out to kill them and Lightbearers who don’t trust them, Tanner
and Olivia decide to take the chance and give in to their mutual attraction,
only to discover that Olivia’s destiny has been predetermined, and it doesn’t
include her shifter lover. They must decide if they are willing to risk it all,
or if they can walk away from true love for the sake of the Lightbearer
species.
Author Bio: Patricia D. Eddy has been a writer all of her life. She
used to sit at her parents' kitchen counter at an Apple IIe typing out short
stories. She even wrote a few on their old typewriter. But it wasn't until
NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in 2011 that she ever came close to
finishing a story she started.
Once that dam broke, the floodwaters never receded. Patricia
sits down to write every evening after dinner and quite often sees midnight
come and go before she heads to bed. She doesn't sleep much. But she wouldn't
have it any other way.
Patricia is also a founding partner in PageCurl Publishing and Promotion, dedicated to helping all authors
succeed without breaking the bank. In her spare (HA!) time she runs, bikes,
swims, yogas, reads, and is terribly addicted to Doctor Who and Sherlock.
Apparently she has a thing for quirky British men.

she’s awakening within him.

suddenly, she remembers not only who she is, but also her fiancé, Tristan;
who is still looking for her. Now Evaine is torn between her first love
