Random Encounters is on tour and looking for blog hosts and reviewers.
Random Encounters is a very HOT book by Kathleen Walker

Here is an excerpt from the book:

Veronica Walters had established herself in a comfortable lifestyle far away from the controlling, upper class family she was raised by in the Florida Keys. She’d achieved the family dream for her of graduating with a law degree from Harvard. Now, she was independent and proud of meeting her goals on her own. Working in a criminal law firm instead of the stuffy business and corporate law her father and brothers practiced, she felt she had a more challenging job with the law firm in Colorado she’d accepted a position with right out of college. There was just one little part of her life that was somewhat out of control, yet she didn’t fight it. Instead, she relished it. The random sexual encounters she had with men she didn’t know served to satisfy urges and sexual fantasy. Yet, as the number of encounters increased, she wondered...how long can this go on? How many more times can the thrill of the capture and pleasure she achieved from these encounters until someone she knows finds out? It could put her whole life in jeopardy. That fear was overwhelming. Or worse, what if one of the men she silently encouraged to participate turned out to be someone sinister, violent. The numbers game she was playing with the men she chose told her that her good luck thus far may soon run out. Just one more...just one more exquisite climax and rush of adrenaline, then she would have her fill and be able to stop. Have a normal life; find someone to settle down with. That thought, of being with the same person, living with the same man day after day...well, she’d certainly have to think about that.

In the midst of the personal issue she knew she needed to resolve, Veronica finds herself in a very public high profile case, not by choice but by order of a senior partner in the firm. A stylish younger woman who was married to a now deceased much older husband. Veronica had a fight on her hands with the deceased husbands relatives who were determined to deny the young widow of the inheritance her husband left her in his will, a la Anna Nicole Smith headlines. Determined to get the beautiful, pampered widow her due inheritance, she needed the dead husband’s psychologist to reveal some very important details that would help her case. Enter Dr. Steve Nelson. Veronica spoke on the phone with him and set up a meeting. He was willing to give the information she needed, and Veronica was certain she could now win the case. Unknown to her prior to their meeting, he turned out to be her silent, sizzling encounter just a few days before. She was frozen in shock when he walked into her office for their business meeting. He was handsome, soft spoken and completely non-judgmental about her sexual behavior with him previously. Veronica breathed a sigh of relief and counted her blessings. She was smitten with his soft blue eyes, gentle manner, and corny demeanor. It all looked good on him. She found herself strangely attracted to this man that she initially never wanted to see again, as she did with each encounter.
Dr. Nelson not only helps her win her case, but ushers Veronica on a journey of self discovery that she never saw coming. The outcome surprised even herself. This story evolves from a young woman’s illicit encounters and attempts to gain control of her own life and emotions, to a matured woman who accepts her past and now looks forward to a secure future.

All This and Family Too by Sarah E. Glenn tour will extend til October

2011-08-30T08:08:00.000-07:00

All This and Family Too by Sarah E. Glenn has extended her virtual book blog tour to continue through Halloween.She has enjoyed hertour and has decided to have Mystical Book Blogs to jump start the tour for the fall. She will also be doing several local signings such as A Day of Mystical Blood Lust in Lexington, Ky on October 22nd.

Here is a summary of All This and Family Too.

Adjusting to life as a vampire hasn’t been easy for Cynthia. Her partner murdered, stalked by a demented preacher-turned-vampire hunter, and forced to move across country from North Carolina to Irvine, California, Cynthia tackles undeath one battle at a time.
With the help of her devoted grandmother, trusted brother, and Josie, a distracting runaway, Cynthia comes to realize that it is not walkin...g in sunlight that makes a person human, and living in the shadows might shed light on the things most important to her survival—family, love and controlling her thirst for blood.

The Lexington, KY author has a B.S. in Journalism from the University of Kentucky. She’s held a number of entirely unrelated jobs since college: art intern at a billboard company, NCIC operator for her local police department, and teaching assistant in medical terminology. Sarah writes mystery and horror stories with a definite bias towards the humorous. Several have appeared in magazines and anthologies, including G.W. Thomas’ Ghostbreakers series, Futures Mysterious Anthology Magazine, and Fish Tales, the premiere anthology from the Guppy chapter of Sisters in Crime.
Sarah’s first novel, All This and Family Too, comes to you courtesy of Pill Hill Press. This heartwarming saga answers the question: can a vampire survive the challenges of a gated community, even with the support of a loving family?

Here is the synopsis that the author provided for the tour:

The deeds of some vampires are restricted…
Cynthia Leach, vampire and professor of astronomy, just wants to lead a normal unlife. She believes that she can escape vampire hunters by moving away from North Carolina, but instead finds herself with a host of new problems.
Astronomy isn’t a nighttime science any more, and her department chair tries to force her to teach day classes. She rescues a runaway who soon learns too much to be discarded. Her family has moved to California with her, and the president of the neighborhood association is determined to run Grandma out of town. Worst of all, the vampire hunters are persistent ones – who have followed Cynthia to her new home.

All This and Family Too can be found on Amazon.com here

The Romance of Dracula: A Personal Journey of the Count on Celluloid by Charles E. Butler is available via Amazon.com now. It is a labour of love for the films based on Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. From Max Schreck (1922) to Marc Warren (2006). Fourteen reviews of fourteen classic movies. The epilogue shows reviews of movies in which Dracula has made a token appearance.

Author of The Royal Blood Chronicles, Elizabeth Loraine talks about why she started writing so late in life

2011-04-04T08:46:00.000-07:00

April begins another great book blog tour. Cain, the fourth book in The Royal Blood Chronicles is taking a tour across the internet after the successful tours that the previous books in the series had. Katrina, The Protectors, and The Dark Prince were embraced by bloggers and reviewers alike.
The young adult vampire series that boasts the strong female vampire characters of Katrina and her sisters is the creation of Elizabeth Loraine. Elizabeth began writing only within the last few years while in her fifties. She has never wrote before but that's enough of my telling her story, Elizabeth visits today to share her story with everyone as to why she began writing so late in life.

Elizabeth:

I have been asked why I started this journey so late in life, so I will try to answer that question.I had always written stories in my head, but I had never written them down. I had no idea if I could really write a book or not. My only thought was that if I didn’t try, I would never know.In my naïve mind I thought it would be nice if I could sell a few books. See them in the front window of a bookstore and have a hobby now that I wasn’t working for the first time. The budget being tight, wouldn’t it be nice to make a few dollars doing this?

I was really getting tired of the books that my sister and I were finding in the Young Adult isle in the book store that we always searched and then shared. We loved Twilight, don’t get me wrong and several other of the series on vampires were good too. The problem was that they were so much alike. Modern teenagers involved in some sort of love triangle, which is fine. I just longed for something different.

So at the ripe old age of fifty-two I sat down at my desk with a blank sheet of paper in front of me. Not at the computer, which I rarely used by the way. This blank piece of paper could be intimidating for some, but because I had told myself it was alright to fail, I would learn from it if I did. I wasn’t intimidated at all.

I think my age has helped me in these ways. I have so much life experience to draw from. I was a wife, a mother. I handled problems and solved them every day. I had parents, a husband and children that had always believed in me and supported me and a very smart, computer savvy sister who I was sure would be able to help me.

On that first blank page I wrote a simple outline. I had no idea how to go about this. I didn’t go out and take classes. I didn’t buy a book on how to write. I had a dictionary and that blank piece of paper. The outline said: Strong female characters in a historical setting. That was it. Am I a tactician or what!

I decided on where my heroine would be from based on family history. I decided on royalty as my backdrop because it’s romantic, so interesting and there would be so much to draw from, so much history. And this was my book and I could do whatever I wanted.
But this blog is more than a story about an author that happened to start on this journey at an older age than usual. It’s about setting your mind on something and then getting it done. It’s about having dreams and fulfilling them. If you are going to dream, dream big. Don’t say why, say why not.

People would have thought I was crazy if I had told them. At least that was what I thought, so I didn’t tell anyone what I was doing. I bought a writing tablet and started to write. From that simple outline Royal Blood Chronicles was born. As it turns out I filled four of those tablets.
I found that I enjoyed writing so much. Loosing yourself in the story, becoming the character, hearing their voices and seeing the surroundings was thrilling. I had found what I had been searching for, this was what I was meant to do. Like Oprah said once. You know what you are doing is the right thing because it feels like breathing. That’s what I want to tell you. Find your passion.

So I finished the first book, my first book. It still sounds surreal. Now I had to turn on the computer. I was so glad I had taken my mother’s advice and taken typing class. Yes on a typewriter!

I transferred the hand written book onto the computer and edited as I went along. This is when I discovered something else about myself. I couldn’t spell! Anyway the process has been a long one. I was told I had to try to get an agent and a publisher. So I tried. And I tried, with no luck. I went on a site for new writers and got suggestions and reviews on my book. After months of reading amazing works of writers who were so talented and also were being rejected, I decided that this was ridiculous. I had heard about Create Space on the morning news and checked it out. I finally told my sister what I had done along with my husband and children. I knew they would tell me the truth. They liked it. My sister helped me get it formatted. She helped me edit, with no budget I had to do as much as I could myself.

Along the way we got it re-edited my sister and I designed and redesigned, re-edited and that is the product you see today. The biggest thing that happened was taking the plunge and going to e-books. Once that happened and we got the pricing right sales exploded. I found many new friends and thanks to one of those Bertena Varney I got help getting the word out. Sales were up 500% between January and February and continue to rise. With four books out now and a fifth written I think I am really close to doing what I set out to do, make a living doing what I love, writing. The bonus? The readers! I love them. Are there critics, nay sayers and others, of course, is it worth it? Absolutely.

I wanted my characters to be someone that young girls could look up too. Heroines are few and far between. I hope my journey tells you that you can do anything you want if you’re passionate about it and don’t give up. Go for it, at any age! Like mine your life will be enriched by the experience, the people you meet, and the new friends you will make. This life is yours, grab it, live it to the max, you only get one. And finally, be your biggest fan. If you don’t believe in yourself how will others ever believe in you?

Spotlighting: author Elizabeth Loraine - National authors | Examiner.com

Elizabeth Loraine is the author of the YA vampire series, The Royal Blood Chronicles. Loraine is an avid fan of the genre, and her desire to create the world of her protagonist, Katrina, emerged from her deep love for the YA genre. Committed to her readers, and the craft of putting out the stories she dreams of reading, Loraine shares the conception of her series, the influences on her writing and a little about her experience in this evolving world of publishing.

PC: As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?

EL: I wanted to raise horses when I grew up. I ended up with seven horses while we lived in Minnesota, but you can’t make any money doing it. I just love them, and all animals really.

PC: What do you think makes a good story? What elements draw you in as a reader?

EL: I think that you need a character that you can relate to and a story that isn’t boring. Letting the reader see the characters and their world with words.

PC: How real are your characters to you – as real as they are for your readers?

EL: They are very real to me. I know them. I know what they would say, do and how they feel. I hear the conversation in my mind.

PC: Would you share a little about your series THE ROYAL BLOOD CHRONICLES - what inspired its conception?

EL: The Chronicles began out of frustration. I could not find anything vampire to read that wasn’t the modern, teenage point of view. There had to be more. These were complex, long lived beings and I wanted to know more. When I couldn’t find anything I just decided I would fill that gap myself. They Chronicle the life of Katrina, the chosen leader of the Five. The protector of all the peaceful races of the world Vampires and other races including humans are being threatened by evil. They have to fight that evil while keeping the secret existence of many of these races intact.

PC: What draws you to the genre of YA? Do you plan to expand into adult supernatural novels, or stay in the vein of young adult?

EL: My sister and I were always looking for books in the YA isle of the book store. Looking for books that would just be a fun, fanciful read. And when we were looking we noticed that others our age were looking there too. Mothers and their daughters mostly, but all ages of women. As for expanding, most of my audience right now is that mix, so I think I’m right where I belong, but I always keep my options open.

PC: What do you see as the influences on your writing?

EL: I have always loved everything in the fantasy world. I started out reading fairy tales and I love doing research of the mystical legends of different countries and religions. But I never know where an idea may come from. Now I ask the fans what they would like to read and they have so many creative ideas, whether it’s for the Chronicles or a new series. I love that interaction.

PC: Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

EL: Writing is never the problem, the ideas flow easily. Everything after that is complicated and sometimes frustrating. From editing to marketing and getting the word out can be exhausting. Now thanks to people like you that job is so much easier and fun.
