Stella of Akrotiri: Deminon – Book Tour and Giveaway

Stella of Akrotiri: Deminon
by Linda Rae Sande
Genre: Fantasy
 
Love can last a thousand lifetimes when you’re an Immortal… or so they thought.
What’s become of the Immortal Darius? His wife, Stella, worries about his
fate as she rules over their city-state of Deminon, especially when
she learns he’s been the victim of treachery. She’ll do anything
to get him back.
Enslaved as a traitor to Rome, Darius is forced to fight gladiators as part of
the funeral rites of powerful Romans. His years of experience on the
battlefield serve him well in the arena—until he’s forced to
fight Marcus—a younger, stronger gladiator who is unaware of his
own immortality.
Sure he’s about to suffer a defeat by the hand of Marcus, Darius is
forced to make a decision that will change his future and
Stella’s—preserve his essence by allowing his body to die so that
he can live on in Marcus. His two-thousand years of memories and life
experiences should be powerful enough to overcome the essence of the
untested Immortal. Allow him to return to Stella and resume their
life together, even if she won’t immediately recognize him.
But Marcus isn’t giving up so easily. Especially when he meets Stella.
Will Marcus help Darius take revenge on the one whose deceit led to his
arrest on charges of treason? Or will Darius’ essence slowly be
subsumed, the memories of his nearly two-thousand-year lifespan—and
of Stella—fading away in the mind of Marcus?
These Immortals once had all the time in the world.
Now it’s suddenly of the essence.

A Scalisi Family Novel #1
by Meredith Allison
Genre: Historical Thriller
 
1924 Chicago is a turf war: the North Side against the South Side. Booze,
guns, money, and blood are all currency here.
Prohibition is a breeding ground for the rise of organized crime in
America, and for the ambitious, it means building a fortune.
Mia Scalisi, a street-smart showgirl, has big dreams of leaving behind
the small-time supper club she performs at night after night. She
wants to see her name in lights—and maybe even on the silver
screen. And her brother Nick, an ambitious Mafia capo determined
to be the next underworld prince, promises to use the spoils of his
new liquor deal to make it happen.
With the career of her dreams within her reach and friends like Al Capone
and Johnny Torrio, Mia’s future has never looked brighter, and she
turns a blind eye to Nick’s criminal activities and morally
bankrupt ways…until it all catches up with them.
Too late, Mia discovers ambition always comes with a price,
and that price must be paid—in blood.
When her world implodes, there’s only one thing she cares
about after the dust settles.
Revenge.

Meredith Allison has embraced her nerdiness from youth, with minor jaunts of
attempting to be “cool” during high school and college.
Spoiler alert: she was unsuccessful at fooling anyone. After this
dark period, she returned to the light, embracing her bookish nature
and penchant for action and horror films, bloody survivalist video
games (she’s looking at you, Resident Evil and Call of Duty)
interspersed with the occasional sweeping fantasy adventure RPG
(Final Fantasy, anyone?). Along the way, she developed her knack for
storytelling, which began when she was a mere child-person many moons ago.
Meredith is a writer (and reader) of many kinds of fiction, but in particular
spy thrillers, military-esque suspense, and historical crime. A
native of Lincoln, Nebraska, she is by proxy a Huskers fan (GO BIG

obligatory Blue Jays fan due to completing her graduate MFA studies
at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
When she emerges from her writing cave, blinking in dismay at having to be
exposed to the cruel light of day yet again, she can be found romping
with her two Pomeranians, serving her overlord cat, hanging with her
husband, battling it out with the undead or practicing a new kind of
magery on her PlayStation, or simply huddled in a dark corner
somewhere with just enough light to read a favorite book. Other
interests include baking, cooking, and blogging about new restaurants.

Desires Entwined Book 3
 
Alexander James Noble is a gender fluid gay man who gave up on finding Mister
Right a long time ago. He’s not asking for much, though. He just
wants a guy who loves all of him and appreciates his feminine form too.
At the local LGBTQ center where Alex regularly volunteers, he meets Dal
Sayer, an officer of the Milwaukee PD. Because he’s been rejected
one too many times, Alex doesn’t trust the huge cop and the
interest he shows in him, but once Dal sets his mind on something, he
goes all out. Pushing aside his preconceived notions, Alex opens up
just a little and soon caves.
From their first date—while dealing with his father’s failing health
and his parents’ demands for him to settle down and have
children—Dal never takes his eyes off his goal of making Alex his.
But proving to Alex he isn’t like all the men who couldn’t see
him for who he truly was and only wanted to hide him away is harder
than he thought.

Forced on a shopping trip with his twin sister, Lyric, and her friends, Alex
eyes the girls jealously, longing to be able to dress like them—to
be them. The constant struggle of being “gender fluid,” wrestling
with an identity that seems to change daily, begins to wear on Alex.
But all those questions and fears seem more manageable when his
sister gives him his first skirt and lace panties

The General’s Daughter Series – Book Tour and Giveaway

The Siren
General’s Daughter Book 1
by Breanna Hayse
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 
Lt. Samantha Quimby, USMC is a beautiful, brilliant and very unique young
woman. Not only does she have the privilege of being the youngest
known Special Ops officer in the Corps, but an unfortunate accident
during a dive in the Marinas Trench leaves her permanently
amphibious! Her new found ocean freedom, combined with her unique
ability with ocean mammals and an overtly defiant and somewhat
reckless nature, wreaks havoc on her very loving, but very strict
family. Her father and uncle, both USMC Generals., and her older
brother, Michael, are in constant pursuit of trying to keep her safe
from herself and her own curiosity and often thoughtless actions. In
desperation, the three resort to old-fashioned military discipline.
Sam is appalled, but it does not take long for her to discover that love
can be expressed in a firm and consistent manner upon her little
bottom. Love, laughter, duty, and obedience frames the young woman’s
life and, despite a constant sore backside, she couldn’t be happier.
Publisher’s Note:
This is the first of a six book progressive series from coming
of age in a DD household to discovering romance and advancing into
maturity and exploring BDSM. The rerelease of the Generals’ Daughter
series contains new elements and the growth and maturing of the
characters not seen in the original version. This larger volume of
the ‘story’ line is the same, but the characters and their lives have
whole new meaning and much more interaction. Even Ton is more
opinionated than before! If you liked the original version, you will
LOVE this one!
**Only .99 cents!!**
 
 
Up a Notch
General’s Daughter Book 2
 
BIGGER, BETTER, and with MORE ATTITUDE!
The General’s Daughter is back, and she’s at it again! True to her
nature, Samantha Quimby finds a way to wreak havoc on the California
coastline clear up to Alaska where she defies nature itself. This
time, her entire family decides to bring things “Up A Notch”
to try to get her to understand that she is not only loved and cared
for, but that she is her own worst enemy.
This sequel to The Siren, Generals’ Daughter Book 1, finds Sam in more
precarious situations than even she can imagine as she comes of age
and discovers her own power as a beautiful and intelligent young woman.
Her father, uncle and brother…. along with some outside help… plan on
getting their points across to her in one way or another. Of course,
Sammi’s stubbornness can only be broken through in one embarrassing
way… old fashioned discipline.
Does this stop her from pulling endless pranks on her brother, or risking
her own safety in the ‘name of science?’ But she certainly has fun
trying… UNTIL she’s busted!
 
 
Caught in a Net
General’s Daughter Book 3
 
Sam’s at it again! USMC lieutenant, Samantha Quimby, is beautiful,
brilliant and ‘an independent thinker’ whose biggest delight is
challenging the strict rules and regulations set by her commanding
general father and uncle. Even more enjoyable is when she can slip
past her big brother Michael’s watchful eye and follow her own
path. As intelligent as she is, Sam’s need to pursue her own
interests without considering the consequences subjects her
frustrated family to trying every avenue of discipline they can think
of. They conclude that nothing grabs the girl’s attention like
attending to some old fashioned military discipline and an awful lot
of love. But keeping her attention is another issue….
Her unique abilities and physical alterations after a life-threatening
accident have also led her to ‘translate’ the cetacean code,
which the image of being ‘caught in a net’ simply means…
Trouble! After she and Michael complete a particularly dangerous
Special Ops mission, Sam faces the most difficult challenge yet.
Love.
Lt.Richard Lewis, a handsome engineer who seems to display the best
characteristics of the men in her beloved family… And the worse! It
doesn’t take long for Sam to discover that the serious minded young
man is determined to keep her safe, and that he won’t hesitate to
impart his firm beliefs directly to her rebellious bare bottom!
Instead of coming to her rescue, he family approves highly of the new
addition to the crew and the methods he uses to ensure good behavior
from their naughty, little Siren. As if it’s not tough enough for
Sam, even her best friend and constant ocean companion, the killer
whale- Ton- is now requesting that Richard joins the family in
‘biting her tail flukes!’
Poor Sammi just can’t get a break… not even when she discovers her power
as a beautiful, young woman and how to use it to get her way with
Richard. Little does she know, but her new boyfriend is both willing,
and able, to turn the tide and catch his lovely little mermaid in a
net of his own design.
 
 
Convergence
General’s Daughter Book 4
 
Poor Sam! Not only does the brilliant, young lieutenant constantly find
trouble every time she turns the corner, but now she faces a dilemma
that leaves her in a quandary.
She’s face to face with a hot, dominant man who wants nothing more than to
teach her what it feels like to be a woman, but he insists on
honoring her family’s request to wait! 
When Sam discovers she can ‘converge’ with Richard much in the way she
integrates with the cetaceans- and that she can insert a few
‘suggestions’ into the young man’s mind- she can’t help but experiment.
The result? Just say there aren’t enough cold showers in the world to
stop the affects associated with her new-found power, nor are there
pillows soft enough to make sitting more comfortable for Sam each
time she’s busted!
Meanwhile, Michael’s romance with Teagan is quickly blossoming. He thinks she
might even be the one- particularly when she admits to desiring a D&S
relationship. Despite Sam’s warnings that fantasy is always better
than reality, Teagan begins to test her boundaries with her strong
alpha male boyfriend, and finds herself in a position that is NOT
what she expected.
 
 
Under Cover
General’s Daughter Book 5
 
What’s Sam up to this time?
For once, believe it or not, the trouble she’s getting into isn’t her fault!
After losing her temper and physically flattening a jerk on base for sexual
misconduct, USMC Lt. Samantha Quimby is approached by the lovely Col.
Joyce Howe under the pretense of an SJA inquiry. Instead of
punishment, Sam’s ordered on a secret assignment to investigate a
dangerous situation in a local high school where several military
dependents attend. No problem, right? WRONG.
Except for her father and uncle, everyone believes she’s placed on
administrative leave and is allegedly sent ‘back to school’ to learn
how to socialize with people closer to her age. It wouldn’t be so bad
if her folks were home to fish her out of trouble, but they’re called
cross-country to a mandatory meeting. That means her brother,
Michael, and her boyfriend, Richard, are left in charge.
Behaving like a high schooler is not in her blood- nor can she keep her mouth
shut in class. From rolling her eyes in Calculus to reading Tolstoy
in Russian, the girl keeps paving her way for more trouble when the
frustrated principal calls Michael to pick her up. Now, the boys can
deal with Sam’s saucy attitude, but they can’t overlook her
sneaking out of the house, stealing her uncle’s Hummer, or lying to
them. Yep, she’s busted- but she’s under orders NOT to tell
anyone about her mission!
If all this isn’t enough to contend with, Sam’s relationship with
Richard has reached the place where neither of them can’t deny
their need for one another. Promise, or no promise, Richard’s
determined to make Sam his- and she’s not about to stop him!
 
 
 
BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and
reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle.
Who am I?
I’m a native Californian gone ‘wild’, and had the opportunity to travel
the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine
Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to
go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a
marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative
lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique
inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.
In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both
submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving.
Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and
mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.
My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door
to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time,
I’ve devoted my ‘spare’ time to writing, researching, community
involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant
behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.
I was formally ‘dungeon trained’ as a Domme before discovering my
submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled
primarily from either personal experience or observation, including
spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My
multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and
give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of
fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of
the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on
‘the real deal.’
I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and
two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S
relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear),
and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies
include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John
can’t find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and
developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured
author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a
Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

Shadows of Atlantis – Book Tour and Giveaway

Shadows of Atlantis: Awakening
by Mara Powers
Genre: Fantasy
 
“…had me turning the pages obsessively from the very beginning.”
Readers Favorite.
Enter the legacy of the legend…
Brigitte has been chosen to renew the treaty between Atlantis and the ancient
bloodline of Lemuria. As an emissary of nature, her betrothal would
ensure the continued function of the Crystal Grid, the life source of
the ten kingdoms of Atlantis. But as Brigitte prepares to leave from
her home in the magical Dreamvale, her people are attacked by a storm
of shadows. Now she is running for her life.
Upon her arrival in the ruling city of Atlantis, she meets D’Vinid, a
dejected musician who lives the quintessential Atlantean lifestyle of
revelry, escapism and apathy. Under the eclipse of a sacred festival,
they are swept into an attraction they cannot resist. Their union may
protect humanity from its worst enemy – the shadows of Atlantis. But
there is one problem, this man is not her betrothed.
Brigitte soon discovers that the corruption of the Grid could very well be the
Grid itself. Citizens have neglected to attend the rituals required
to charge the crystals with their psychic emanations. Some have
fallen prey to an epidemic called “the madness”, caused by
shadowy parasites that feed off human suffering. But as nature always
strives toward balance, the crystals have activated a genetic upgrade
among the people. The youth have begun to express supernatural
powers. Could it be that D’Vinid and Brigitte are meant to be
leaders among the awakened? And if so, why does it seem impossible
for them to be together?
A mysterious tale of romance, seduction and betrayal that reaches just
enough into the modern mind to ask – will we learn the lessons of
Atlantis?
**Only .99 cents!**
 
 
 
 
Mara Powers is a rebel of the written word who has tackled the monumental
task of recreating Atlantis. When she was 16 in Fort Collins,
Colorado, she began visiting the library in search of things she
couldn’t learn in school. Her goal was to re-define her religion. She
studied theology voraciously until she discovered the concept of
reincarnation though Hinduism. It was the answer to a lifelong
existential crisis that had plagued her for many sleepless nights.
The study of reincarnation led her to the channel Edgar Cayce. In his
many books, she found his past life readings of lifetimes spent in
Atlantis. This was the beginning of a lifelong quest to unravel the
secrets of this mystery. She has spent upwards of 30 years exploring
the labyrinth of ancient civilizations. Her decision to turn it all
into a high concept, visionary fantasy series stems from her study of
the esoteric depiction of Atlantis. With the other half of her
research rooted in the secular, it was the best way to illustrate
both aspects of this fascinating legend. Her work is the legacy of
the legend.

Crazy On You – Book Tour and Giveaway

Crazy on You
A Love and Harmony Romance #3
by Crystal B. Bright
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Pub Date: 2/12/2018
 
Worse than a one-hit wonder, Tassia Hogan is a one-line wonder. Infamous
for a memorable, extremely provocative verse, her music career is
going nowhere. Finding a decent man to date has also proven fruitless
. . . they all think she’s as wanton as those lyrics. But now her
label is offering Tassia the chance to shine—with a catch. The
album is duets. Her partner is a Country Western singer. And he’s
just as reluctant to agree as she is.
Hyde Love has been in
the music business since he was eleven, and he’s becoming more and
more disenchanted with it. Collaborating on an album seems great in
theory, but Tassia is an R&B singer. Melding their sounds and
personalities will be difficult—though not as tough as keeping
things strictly business. Getting involved with his partner could
prove career-wrecking, yet discovering the real Tassia could be
earth-shattering.
 
 
Love Like Crazy
A Love and Harmony Romance #2
 
A chance to shine . . .

The closest Avery Shields expects to get to the music industry is her
janitor position at Charisma recording studio, and singing secretly
in her local karaoke bar. Working two jobs and studying full-time,
she’s doing all she can to earn her parents’ trust after making
mistakes in high school. But now a gorgeous stranger is filling her
head with dreams of singing professionally—and filling her nights
with desire…

Lazarus Kyson’s A&R career took a hit after he was wrongfully accused
of harassment. To restore his reputation, he needs to discover a new
talent. And when he least expects it, there she is: singing while she
cleans the Charisma offices. As stubborn as she is talented, she
refuses to audition. If he wants Avery—her voice and her
heart—he’ll have to open himself up for the first time for a love
too crazy good to let go . . .

 
 
Crazy in Love
A Love and Harmony Romance #1
 
Back on top . . .

R&B singer Chantel Evans had it all, until the Princess of Love Ballads
lost everything. First, a very public betrayal by her lover and the
death of her mother lead to a career-ending mental breakdown. Then,
at the same time, her attorney makes off with
all her
hard-earned fortune. The only chance she has of resurrecting her
career is in the recording studio her mother left in her name . . .

When struggling country star Truman Woodley has his recording duet with a
sultry young singer fall flat at Chantel’s studio, Chantel is faced
with a rare second chance—until Truman’s vindictive ex-girlfriend
turns the pair’s sparkling debut into grounds for a custody battle
over their son. But Chantel has discovered more than sweet vocal
harmony with Truman. She’s found something worth fighting for. And
when Truman surprises her with a kiss after a live television
performance, the whole world will find out just what it takes to be
crazy in love . . .
