INTRODUCING PATRICIA SCOTT JAMES

My name is Patricia Scott James and I’ve been writing for years. This year I decided to take my passion and bite the bullet and offer the books I’ve been hording to the masses.  I write steamy romance, mostly steamy romantic suspense. The last thing I’ve finished is a trilogy that combines romantic suspense with a touch of the paranormal. No, it’s not weres or vampires or shifters. The paranormal that I incorporated to the story deals with psychic abilities including telepathy and prophetic dreams. That was fun to write in itself, but the story was spiced up further with a heroine that is deaf. Talk about challenges. Actually writing the story was a lot of fun. I hope you find it fun to read.

As far as the heat level of my stories, from a range of 1 to 10, I think I average somewhere around 7.5.

Publishing and having people read and like my stories would be the icing of my life, another check on my bucket list. Speaking of bucket lists, what’s on yours?  Mine is full of places to see, and experiences to enjoy. From rappelling into a cenote, to ballooning over the Loure valley, to climbing natural rock formations (Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland), to taking a camel ride on the Giza plateau, to playing with baby tigers or swimming with a whale shark, I’m ticking some of my list off and still have so much more to accomplish. Meanwhile I also love to sit on my couch, cuddled by my kitties as I read a book, watch tv, play on the computer and paint blown eggs, I’m all for doing the creative and original.

And another thing to check off the bucket list is that I’m going to my first convention as a writer. Authors After Dark.  I’m super excited about going and meeting some readers. If you are going, come find me. I’ve got some great gifts I’m giving away. I’d love to meet you.

The Second Sight Series is trilogy of steamy romantic suspense novels each with a slight paranormal twist.

INTRODUCING GRACEN MILLER

Howdy, y’all! I’m Gracen Miller and I’m a hopeless daydreamer masquerading as a “normal” person in southern society. Yep, that’s right, if you were reading between the lines of that sentence you realize everyone that knows me in real life thinks I’m a freak. I proudly wave my freak flag. I have an unusual relationship with my muse, Dom, but I also credit all my creative success to his brilliant mind. Sometimes I’m blown away by the stuff he gives me. I’m addicted to coffee, writing, paranormal romance novels and movies, Alabama football—Roll Tide Y’all!—and did I mention coffee? Many of my worlds are spawned from coffee highs and Dom’s aggressive demands. I write in multiple genres—dystopian romance, rock star romance, paranormal romance, paranormal erotic romance, and gothic ménage romance, so I have a little of it all for almost every romance reader out there.

For AAD, I hooked up with five brilliant authors, Cassidy K. O’Connor, Louisa Bacio, A. D. Roland, Sheri Lyn, and Lia Davis. We’ve each written a Wickedly Twisted Fairytale for Adults story for the anthology. My story is based off of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It’s not the fairytale your momma read you, but is scorching hot and for adults only. I joked to my husband that this might be what Amazon considers porn, but I did mix a plot into the sizzling heat of the storyline. Print copies will only be available at AAD. The e-book will release July 26^th, 2016, on KU only, so keep an eye out. To celebrate this release, we’ll have a Wickedly Twisted party at AAD on Friday, August 5^th, from 5-6 p.m. in the Polaski room. Come dressed as your favorite fairytale character… or if you don’t want to dress up, just come for the fun and prizes!

My dystopian romance, LIE TO ME, was released this past March. It was the first book I wrote where I knew the characters inside and out from the get-go. I’m a pantser, or as I like to say I write from the hot seat, never knowing where a book is going until it takes me there. With Lie to Me, the story wrote itself in an organic way, flowing without any trouble, like I wrote a biography for a past life I’d lived. It was a wonderful experience, but ended all too soon just over a month after I started writing the book.

Lie to Me is set in the 23^rd century and a biological disease has decimated the population. Those who remain have been driven to desperate measures to survive. Over the course of a century, evolution delivers an answer—the Xeno gene, which provides its bearers with immunity to disease. All adolescent girls are tested for the X-gene, and carriers are obligated to bear children for the good of the human race.

Stone Emmerson, heir to a position of supreme power, is surprised to learn his best friend Kella is an X-gene carrier. He’s quick to claim her as his own, but as a mere servant, Kella can’t help but doubt his motives. Before he can offer the protection of his name, she escapes his household. While he mourns losing her, Kella starts over under an assumed name, and becomes a founding member of the X-Diplomats, a radical group dedicated to stopping enforced X-gene testing and promoting equal rights for commoners.

Years pass before she crosses paths with Stone again. As the web of deceit that has come between them unravels, their love begins to grow. But can Stone turn a blind eye to Kella’s violent revolution and see the justice of her cause? Or will their differences prove too great to overcome? While survival and freedom hang in the balance, what price would you pay to break the chains of oppression?

INTRODUCING BIANCA SOMMERLAND

Quick intro for those of you who don’t know me. I'm from Montreal, Quebec, and I write BDSM, ménage, sports romance, and a few other things! Authors After Dark is one of my favorite events and I’m so excited it’s going to be back in Savannah! The area is absolutely beautiful, and while it’s sad that this will be the last AAD, there’s so many AMAZING things planned it’s guaranteed to leave us all with fond memories.

One of my favorite things about AAD is the one on one time I get to spend with so many people I only get to chat with online. Readers who love the same books I do, and who don’t mind chatting about all our favorite fantasy worlds for hours. Everyone is welcoming and ready to have a great time, whether it’s at the parties or panels or visiting the area for some touristy stuff.

I’m gonna take off for a bit, but feel free to ask me questions and I’ll try to pop back in to answer them all! <g> I plan to have several books that haven’t been available anywhere else at AAD, and those I meet will get to hear about the new ones I have planned and coming out soon! Oh, and there will be swag! So much awesome swag I can’t wait to share it with you all!!! <3

If you haven't checked out my work before, a few of them are only 99 cents, just to give you a taste! The most popular is GAME MISCONDUCT(The Dartmouth Cobras #1)

I should give you the warning though:

This ebook contains material not suitable for readers under 18. In also contains scenes that some may find objectionable, including BDSM, ménage sex, bondage, anal sex, sex toys, double penetration, voyeurism, edge play, and hockey equipment being used inappropriately.

PDA #11

Amazon: http://amzn.to/1Pt1cTZ

#Paranormal #Humor #comedy #BBW #Curvy#Romance #Shifters #OneClick #Wanttoread#MillyTaidenBooks

Miranda Colilla needs a mate. Fast. This curvy lioness wants a man she can bend to her will, who will stay out of her business, and let her lead like the alpha she is. She needs that mate urgently before the lions in her pride think she’s going to hand the reins over to one of them and let them tell her what to do. Not in this lifetime. When a wolf saves her hide, there's more than just gratitude sparking between them.

Kasen Steel’s tired of women throwing themselves at him. As alpha of his pack, he can have any woman he wants. Problem is, he doesn't want any of them. He wants a chase. He wants someone who isn’t taken in with his position. A chance meeting with a hot as hell lioness makes him want a close encounter of the naked kind with her. Wait, he’s already naked.

Kasen knows Andi’s perfect for him. She's already making him crazy by denying their attraction and the fact she's his mate. The hunt is on. Unfortunately for him, proving to Andi they're right for each other is just one of the problems facing this alpha. Keeping her alive, when someone wants her dead, is another. But Kasen isn't going to sit by and let anyone harm her. Now that he's found his smart-assy mate, he isn’t letting go. Whether she likes it or not.

INTRODUCING LINDA MOONEY

Hello!

My name is Linda Mooney, and I write sensuous sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal romances. I also write naughty but humorous romances as Carolyn Gregg, and horror as Gail Smith. You may even see a fourth name on my website (http://lindamooney.com). I taught music, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten for 36 years. I’ve been retired for the past two years, and am now writing fulltime. But, to paraphrase an old saw, you can take a teacher out of the classroom, but you can’t take the love of learning out of the teacher. So I also write non-fiction teacher workbooks.

I currently have over 90 books published. All of them are available as ebooks, and most in are print. I have some as free reads, and you can get those directly off my website. 

I’ll have most of my print books at AAD this year, including my newest releases, Mine Until Midnight, a sci-fi Steampunk western, E-reptile Dysfunction, a humorous paranormal fantasy, Lionmeade, a fantasy shifter romance that reads like a medieval, and Neverwylde, Book 4 of the Rim of the World sci-fi series. 

I look forward to meeting with everyone! I’ll be participating in the ribbon activity, as well as the scavenger hunt, and the DVD trade. I’m also hosting a game show on Thursday entitled “Do You Know Your Romance Novels?” Winners will get Amazon gift cards, and all participants will get an ebook! The play action promises to be fast and furious, and loads of fun, so come join in!

INTRODUCING K. MARGARET

Hey everyone, my name is K. Margaret and I write paranormal romance.  I currently live right outside of Atlanta, Georgia, by way of Northern California and Connecticut. When I’m not writing, I’m working as a title paralegal, hanging out with my teenage daughter, or watching sports. I have a slight (okay, maybe large) obsession with sports. I’m the crazy chick that wakes up to the NFL Network when most people wake up to the morning news.

I started writing poetry as a child, but didn’t really get into writing fiction until I was in my twenties. My best friend and I would sit around and tell stories and one day I decided I needed to put those stories on paper. The voices in my head also demanded it, especially one particular demon. We’ll call her Empusa. 

I released my first book, Dare to Dream, last November, which is also the first book in my Dark Dreams Series.  Endless Nightmare: The Origin of a Demon was released last month. And Dreams in the Dark, Book Two of the Dark Dreams Series is being released at AAD and I’m so excited to introduce you to new characters and check in on some old ones. My books are filled with demons, witches, shifters, slayers, gods, and more. I love to write strong-headed, sarcastic, kickass females and the men who put up with them.

While I have attended AAD several times as a reader, this year will be my first year attending as an author and I’m so excited! I have so much planned and lots of fun stuff to give away. If you’re sitting at my table for the Debut Dinner, you’ll find out all about my favorite saying, WWED (What Would Empusa Do?). We’ll be going a little demon on that one! For my Fantasy Ball table, the theme is witches, but not just any witch. Dreams in the Dark takes place in Savannah and one of the characters is a witch named Tiffany. She’s a total trip and a half, so I couldn’t think of a more perfect setting to base my theme around her and her shop, The Triple Goddess.  Don’t worry though, if you’re not sitting at my tables you’ll be able to find me at other events. I’ll be one of the authors hosting breakfast on Thursday morning, attending the New Release Party, and I’ll be at the Literary Tea (with more fun swag!) Thursday night, you’ll find me down at Smiles, my favorite piano bar. So make sure to stop by, have a drink with me and sing along (just don’t make fun of my horrible singing voice J )

I’ll be getting to Savannah on Monday, so make sure you find me and say hello. The first three people who ask me “What would Empusa do?’ I have a special gift for.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in August!

INTRODUCING ARMAND ROSAMILIA

My name is Armand Rosamilia. I’m a full-time writer. I’ve been Living The Dream for the past six years of being able to live off of my writing.

But more importantly I enjoy M&M’s and coffee.

I’m (mostly) a horror author. My Dying Days extreme zombie series sells quite well. Enough for me to bathe in M&M’s and coffee at times.

Living The Dream.

I also write in other genres: contemporary fiction, crime thriller, supernatural thriller, and have dabbled in fantasy in the past. I enjoy writing a character-driven story and the more normal the character the better. I rarely have superhero types or military or action Ninja fighting characters. I find them boring as a reader and a writer. I want to know what the average mid-twenties kinda chubby kinda plain-looking girl who works at the makeup counter at the mall would do if the zombie apocalypse became reality. That’s the main character in Dying Days. Her name is Darlene Bobich. She cries a lot. She has panic attacks. But she survives.

I went to the TNEE event in Atlanta for the first time. It was a completely different experience for me because I’m used to horror-heavy cons. It was a great time. Shared a table with author Jay Wilburn. Shared quite a few laughs and stories with dozens of authors in the romance genre I’ve never met before.

AAD will be another great event for me. I can feel it. In my bones, which is pretty deep.

I’ll have quite a few of my books at AAD for sale as well as some cool swag to give away like bookmarks,  fridge magnets, wristbands, bottle openers, etc. I’m not bringing all of my titles this convention because it is a pain in my giant behind to carry so many boxes and because I sell more of the newer stuff anyway. No more carting 50+ different titles with me. I’m thinking more like 12 this time around. We’ll see. I always freak out when I think by not bringing a certain title I’ll miss out on thousands and thousands of sales, even though I usually only stock 3-5 of each title.

Math is not my strong point.

I hope everyone can come out and spend some time with me and a bunch of very cool authors at AAD. If not… it is truly your loss. Frankly, I’m not sure how you’ll be able to sleep at night from this point out, either.

If you can’t hang out with me and everyone feel free to buy all of my books so my children can eat. I’d say so I can eat but it’s obvious from the pictures I don’t miss many meals.

Hope to see ya soon!

INTRODUCING A.L. DAVROE

Hi everyone!  My name is A.L. Davroe (but, you can call me Amanda).  I write a lot of things -- sci-fi, fantasy, horror, romance.  I love anything that falls under the "speculative fiction" umbrella -- if it's not real, I wanna write it.  And I also REALLY like to do revisionist tales and retellings.  There's nothing quite like turning something that people know and love on its head.  Mostly I write these things for teens and adults.

If you want to know about me, I'm quite simple:  I love tea and books and things that are a little strange.  I wear corsets and purple shoes, though not always in the same ensemble.  I make cheese for a living and I write as a hobby.  I love animals but I own cats because, like me, they're independent and discerning creatures.  I like that you have to work to get them to like you.  I blush a lot.  At, like, pretty much everything.  I like sweets...chewy fruity stuff or Cadbury chocolate?  Oh heck yeah, I'm there!  Also, chai tea lattes...I don't think I could live without those, especially during conventions and book deadlines.

I'm a Hufflepuff, a Capricorn, a bit gothic in spirit, and I'm damn proud of all of it.  My life goal is to be best friends with Neil Gaiman.

I've got a few books that are currently out: 

FOR YOUR HEART, a paranormal romance/contemporary fantasy that is a retelling of the Scottish ballad of Tam Lin, is available on Amazon. 

My futuristic Sci-Fi novel, NEXIS, is about a young woman who becomes paralyzed and seeks refuge in a virtual world, that is, until the virtual world starts to seep into her real world (there's some romance in here too!).  You can pick that up online or at a bookstore near you.  And if you like it, the sequel (REDUX) is out December 6. 

This year for Authors After Dark, I'm going to be having a debut horror novel with me called M.I.A. which is about a ghost and a schizophrenic going up against a serial killer in order to save his latest victim.  So far, readers are absolutely loving this book because it's nice and unsettling.  If you like psychological horror, it's totally gonna be your thing.  If you can’t wait for it, I’m currently releasing it on Wattpad.

I'll also (hopefully) have a print edition of my CITY STEAM COLLECTION, a collection of weird and horrific tales that take place in a steampunky, paranormals infested alternate world.  Don't lynch me if I don't have that done in time though, I just got handed a super secret project by my editor that you're probably gonna love way more and that may eat up all my time.

I'm not going to be hosting any special events at Authors After Dark this year because I'm going to have my most favorite readers of all with me:  my mom and my grandmother!  It's going to be their first time at AAD, so I'm going to be showing them the ropes, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't come say hi -- especially to my grandmother, she likes to make friends with everyone (especially if they like books as much as she does).  If you'd like to catch me, I'll be attending all the meals as well as speaking on a number of panels and, of course, I'll be there for the signing.  I'm so excited to meet you!

Powerful CEO, Garrett Emerson’s, life and corporation are built on a foundation of risk taking and top secret priorities. He works hard, but plays even harder. When tragedy strikes, the charismatic and sexy billionaire takes the gamble of his life by bringing a beautiful consultant into his inner sanctum, exposing her to his exclusive society of extreme athletes who are adventurous both in business and pleasure. Inexplicably drawn to the intriguing woman, Garrett teaches her to face her fears, bringing them both to new levels of ecstasy.

Selby Reynolds, a high profile technology specialist, reluctantly accepts an engagement at Emerson Industries. Discovering secrets and uncovering clues to a murder, she’s swept into Garrett’s dangerous but seductive life of luxury. Captivated by the world renowned capitalist and adventurer, she’s convinced he could crush her heart. As he pushes her sexual limits and their erotic play intensifies, Selby finds it impossible to resist the one man who turns her darkest fantasies into a reality.

When Selby’s life is threatened by a killer, carnal lessons of trust are put to the test, forcing them to choose who is friend and who is foe. Can Selby give her heart to a man who revels in the excitement of flirting with death? Will they prevail against an enemy who threatens to tear apart Garrett’s world, including the fragile connection with the woman he seeks to claim as his own?

Warning: This book contains several love scenes and is intended for adult readers only.

INTRIDUCING NANCY REECE

Greetings Fellow AAD-ers from the Deep South!

My name is Nancy S. Reece, I live in North Atlanta, Georgia, and this is my very first Authors After Dark! Savannah is one of my favorite summer escapes and I can’t wait to share this amazing adventure with everyone.

Originally from Pennsylvania, my father worked for United Air Lines, which is sort of like being a military brat – we moved a lot. My brother even went to seven different elementary schools due to dad being transferred. After I was born, we were transferred to Florida and then Atlanta, where I have been ever since.

I started writing when I was young, but often was told I didn’t know enough about what I was doing. Then came a career, a husband, a family, and all the whirlwind that comes with those titles. At last, when my oldest went away to college in 2008 I sat down and began crafting out some of the stories that had been rolling around in my head for decades.

My first book, “Catalyst – Guardian Rising” is the first in a trilogy. The second ebook was released December 21, 2015 and is called “The Price for Redemption”, and book three is on the drawing board, waiting for other stories to have their turn. I also have a sweet romance, “January Frost”, which I am thinking about expanding into another series.

My next release, which I am waiting for a release date, will be a contemporary suspense romance, “Welcome to the Family” coming from the Wild Rose Press. It’s set in Atlanta and Seattle and focuses on the kidnapping of a mercenary’s wife. I hope to have the release date before AAD so I can let everyone know.

As I said, this is my first adventure to Authors After Dark, but from what I’ve been told this will be a wild time. Currently I am co-sponsoring a shopping/drinking trip to River Street, Savannah’s original waterfront; I’ll be doing Drunken Bowling at the Welcome Event, be sure to come check it out for a chance to win excellent swag; I’m hosting a table at the Debut Dinner; and be sure to check out my Dark Druid Potion during the Fantasy Ball. This doesn’t even include the panels, luncheons, coffee breaks, etc when I’ll be roaming the halls and losing my mind!

I cannot wait to meet everyone, and to catch up with those I met in April at The Novel Experience Event. The readers are what makes this event so much fun, and I’m super excited for the whole shebang.

So grab your tanning butter and c’mon down. Let’s put Georgia on your Mind! Oh, and if you see me roaming the halls be sure to stop me for a chance to win extra special swag. All you need to do is tell me one historical fact about Savannah. Let’s see how well everyone does.

Until August – y’all be good now, ya hear!

INTRODUCING AMY J HAWTHORN

Hi there! Nice to meet you. I’m Amy J. Hawthorn and I’m kind of a dork. What do I mean by a dork? Shy, socially awkward, a bit clumsy and a bookworm. I’m not a bit ashamed of any of those traits though. I like who I am. Sure it would be cool to be an all-star athlete, but I’d really rather visit with the imaginary characters in my head. So, I’m happy to be a dork, lol.

I’ve written stories since I was ten or eleven years old but really started thinking seriously about pursing a writing career about eight years ago. In my Evil Day Job I spend a lot of time working with elderly patients (often my favorite!) and a simple thought stuck with me.

I didn’t want to be a lonely little old lady sitting in a nursing home, filled with regrets and wondering about would have happened if I had tried writing. What did I have to lose?

So I did. It took a while before I finished my first novella and then find a home for it, but I’m not sure that I’ve ever had a happier moment than when I finished Azrael’s Light.

I’ve always encouraged my children to use their imaginations so why shouldn’t I as well?

And though it’s hard work squeezing it into my hectic life, I’ve never once regretted the decision.

Now, summer’s burst to life and it’s time for cookouts and vacations, or at least stealing a few minutes of quiet on the porch swing with a tall glass of lemonade. To celebrate, the first book in my Dark Horse Inc. series, Protecting Kate is on sale for 99 cents.

The Dark Horse books take place in Kentucky and are stuffed full of former military men who are all hard on the outside but soft on the inside – just don’t tell them I said so!

From Protecting Kate –

“Do you have a white knight complex?” Kate asked.

“What?” Clearly exhausted, he looked back in confusion.

“You know, do you get off on saving damsels in distress?”

A blank look crossed his face and then he burst into deep, rolling laughter. The sound rumbled through her in waves. “Sweetheart, you are the farthest thing from a damsel in distress I’ve ever seen. Damsels in distress don’t manage a farm, big or small all on their own. They don’t do home repair or load shotguns. You are no damsel.”

I hope you all enjoy summer!

INTRODUCING JAMIE WATERS

Hi! My name is Jamie Waters and I just want to thank my super awesome host for inviting me to write this guest blog. "Officially", I write science-fiction and paranormal romance books. Although, I admit to crossing genre lines frequently so it's sort of difficult to pigeon-hole me. Most of my stories have some aspects of science-fiction, paranormal, romance, action and adventure. I like writing spunky, kick-ass heroines and their equally kick-ass love interests.

I've had a love for science fiction and paranormal for just about… well, my entire life. I grew up with either my nose in a book, playing computer games – or competing in Tae Kwon Do martial arts competitions (nothing like a little diversity in your interests). I consider myself to be one of the first "girl gamers" and was playing RPGs when most people had never even heard of them. I got hooked on a computer game series called Ultima (uh oh, showing my age) and started writing really bad fan fiction as a teenager. From there, writing just became another extension of my creativity.

I still play computer games and love reading. I've never outgrown my love for all things science fiction, paranormal and fantasy (as evidenced by the fairies and dragons all over my house). I also have itchy fingers and can't seem to go too long without drawing, painting, sculpting, or crafting.

The book series I'm currently working on is The Two Towers series. It's a dystopian romance set about 150 years in the future in a post-apocalyptic setting. There's all sorts of science fiction, paranormal, romance, and action in the mix. The first book in the series, The Two Towers, was a winner of the Readers' Favorite Award (Science Fiction Romance), the CIPA EVVY Award (Science Fiction), and received an Honorable Mention in the Global Ebook Awards (Science Fiction). It's currently available as an ebook from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and most other major resellers. It will be available in print in July. In anticipation of the release of the second book, my publisher is offering The Two Towers ebook for FREE for a limited time beginning on June 23^rd.

The second book of the series, Shadow of the Coalition, is scheduled to be released on June 28^th. This one is even more action-packed than the first. It features the same characters from the first, and introduces some new baddies. It's currently available to pre-order at a discounted rate. You can check out the live-action trailer here:  https://youtu.be/qIa3Wgf69lQ

I'm currently working on the third book in the series and I'm hoping to have it ready to be submitted to my publisher by the end of summer. *crossing fingers*

You can get more information about my books (including buy links) from my website at www.jamieawaters.com. Links to all my social media sites are there, as well as updates on my current works-in-progress. I absolutely love to hear from my readers! You guys are the greatest and I'm so excited to meet up with some of you face-to-face at this year's Authors After Dark Convention in Savannah, GA in August (http://authorsafterdark.org/). If you haven't already registered, please do! I really want to meet you guys.

This will be my first convention and it looks like it's going to be packed with awesomeness. In celebration, I even bought a jar of Unicorn Snot (no joke) and I'm going to glitter myself up during the Fantasy Ball on Saturday night. I even have wings! I got so excited about all the events – I changed my itinerary and I'm now coming in a day early so I can do a ghost tour and ride in a hearse, and participate in some of the pre-event happenings. There's going to be a ton of things going on (i.e. HEA lunch, Pirate lunch, inflatable slides, Drive-In movie night, fantasy ball, author panels and readings, corset room, tattoos, free swag, giveaways, etc.). It's just a great way to get to know each other without the formality of sitting behind a table and signing books. But yes – there's a book signing too! If you can make it, I'd love to see you guys there! Come play with me!
