Spotlight Author: MJ Schutte

MJ Schutte is another one of the amazing authors that donated to my Very First Giveaway!! His book "Energy" is on my 'to read' list and the next book "Birth of a Wizard" is on my 'have to have or I'll die' list ;) The Energy Chronicles is a series that you definitely don't want to miss!! So without further ado... Here's MJ!!




From a very early age I loved reading fantasy. There has always been a question that burned in my mind though: Where does magic come from?

The idea for “Energy” was sparked by this question.

Nothing can come from nothing.

If a wizard does something magical, like create fire, there has to be something behind the magic.

That something is energy.

My debut novel, Energy, is the first in a trilogy called The Energy Chronicles.

In this book the talent of energy manipulation is discovered and explored.

Some people have the talent to feel and take energy from other living things.

In rare cases this talent is very strong enabling a person to take, give and manipulate all forms of energy, even the temporary energy of an arrow in flight.

From the first chapter the reader will be drawn into Brighton and Lilian’s world, sharing the happiness, sadness, tragedy and love they share as they fight against all odds and great evil to be together.

Brighton faces seemingly insurmountable odds in his battle against evil and even has to cheat death to be with Lilian.

He is forced to use his talent to its fullest extent, and even beyond what he thought was possible, to save the people he loves.

Lilian also faces tough choices as she has to choose between her love for Brighton and saving the world from yet another evil tyrant.


In book II, Birth of a Wizard, the concept of energy manipulation and some other special talents are explored as well as the inevitable perceptions of magic and unwanted reputations that follows. Birth of a Wizard will be released on March 1st,  2012.

The third book, yet to be named, should be out by the end of the year.

Thank you for spending time with me today.

Spotlight Author: Willow Cross

Today's post is centered solely around the Amazing Willow Cross!! She is another one of the authors that donated to my Very First Giveaway!! Willow has a few amazing books and some are FREE!! Enough of my yammering...here is some more info on her and her books :)

Willow Cross
Isn't she gorgeous??

Author Bio:
Willow Cross resides in Arkansas with her husband, two children still young enough to live at home, an enormous cat named Bitsy, and a scaredy-cat dog named Tank. Her home has been known to host the occasional ghost, and a few of her friends profess to be witches. Although she dearly loves Vampires and Werewolves, they are never invited for dinner.


Here's the new cover!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Birthright Synopsis:
For one-thousand years, Druid prophecies foretold of a young witch destined to alter the fate of both human and immortal alike. This witch-turned-vampire would be capable of harnessing the supernatural abilities of both and, in a bloody rise to power, would rule with unwavering control.

Unwillingly thrust into a world she never dreamed existed, Liz Markum is catapulted into an ancient war between rival vampire factions. She must choose between those she loves and the ever-present darkness attempting to devour her very soul.

Only one question remains: Will Liz claim her birthright or surrender to the dark gift?

One choice.

One chance.

Two destinies.



Inheritance Synopsis:
When Sarah and Jason Masada received an old house from an aunt they never knew existed, they were grateful for the blessing. Until they discovered the curse that came with being part of the Masada family--a full moon.

Intent on tracing their lineage, they descend into a world of lies, fear, ancient myths, and death. Indian hunters have tracked them to the family compound, Jason is wanted for murders he doesn’t remember committing, and their new-found family is on a mission to kill them. It seems their only hope for survival is to combine forces with two unlikely allies and trek across the globe to the place where it all began. Maybe there they can find a way to end it.

The Scroll: A Novel by Grant R. Jeffrey, Alton Gansky

The Scroll


Synopsis:
One last dig.  One final descent into the twisted tunnels of ancient Jerusalem.  Will the truth be fund among the treasures that lie beneath the holy city?
   Dr. David Chambers, leading archaeologist, has spent his professional career uncovering the facts in the artifacts. His work sets the standard for biblical research in the Holy Land. But surrounded by the evidence, David has sunk into an abyss of doubt. A painful experience with a seemingly unresponsive God has left him without hope.  The Old Testament scriptures that used to fi ll his mind with wonder now drive him to frustration. His unanswered questions have ripped him from both his academic pursuits and the love of his life, his fi ancĂ©e, Amber.
   An old friend and mentor reaches out to David, enticing him with the riches described in the enigmatic Copper Scroll. Losing ground with his peers, his love, and his faith, David Chambers has a choice to make. Will he undertake one final dig to unlock a secret that could alter the course of history? Do the mysteries of the Old Testament hold the key to the political turmoil of the Middle East?
  In a world where faith has been eclipsed by the allure of doubt, The Scroll offers a different journey: a gripping adventure to find truth worth dying for.

My Thoughts:
I absolutely LOVED this book. It was right up my alley, Biblical History and Archaeology rock my world :) I was hooked from page one and literally spent several nights up reading far longer than anticipated! It was a hard book to put down. David's journey throughout the book was inspiring and left me wanting more from the author. I would recommend this book to anyone with interest in Egyptology, Anthropology, Biblical History, or anyone that just wants a good, gripping read :)

Spotlight Author: E.H. James

We're still rolling with the amazing authors that donated to my Very First Giveaway!! This post is all about E.H. James and her paranormal short story "Laura." Here is some more info about the book and author :)

E. H. James Fan Page



Synopsis:
Finding Laura along the roadside was only the beginning, it was what happened after that that made George question everything he’d ever known.

George had seen some pretty strange things over his lifetime, travelling those roads. But if he had thought he’d seen it all, he was sadly mistaken. For if he thought finding Laura alone, along some deserted roadside, in the middle of the night, was strange, then he had no idea that what was to follow would challenge the very boundaries of everything he’d ever known.

Formats available for Kindle, Nook, and Adobe.

Spotlight Author: Tish Thawer

This post is all about the amazing Tish Thawer and her series "The Rose Trilogy." Tish was yet another author that was one of the donators to my Very First Giveaway! :) So without further ado...Here is Tish!!




I would first like to thank Brittany for including me in this amazing giveaway. I'm offering a ecopy of Scent of a White Rose as my contribution, but the book that I would like to talk about today is Roses & Thorns.

This short-story is book 1.5 in The Rose Trilogy, and takes us back to when Christian and Rose first met. I've had a blast writing this book and seeing Rose with her mother, and Christian being teased for dating a human, was a real treat. I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on this book and see how Rose and Christian's relationship began. For your reading pleasure, here is an un-edited excerpt:

     As soon as I parked the car across from the restaurant, it took everything I had not to use my vampire speed to race across the street. It was becoming glaringly obviously that it had been ages since I'd actually been out on an real date. Well, nothing like jumping in feet first, because here she came.
     She was just as gorgeous as I remembered. Her hair held a little more curve to it than last time, and my god those legs were just as sexy as I'd imagined. Watching her lock her car and walk in my direction, I suddenly realized that keeping my drifting in check tonight was definitely going to be a exercise in sheer willpower.
     She was smiling as she hopped up onto the curb right in front of me. "Hi!"
     My first instinct was to grab her and race away to somewhere private and sink my fangs into her neck. She was so sexy and smelled so good, but I knew that would never work, because as impossible as it sounded, I was already falling in love with her.
     When a vampire fell in love, they couldn't feed from that person without revealing their secret. This was because a vampire's sedative wouldn't work on the ones they loved; a complete inconvenience at the moment. "Hello. It's nice to actually meet you, Rose." I held out my hand hoping she'd take it. She did.

For more information on all the books in The Rose Trilogy, you can find me at:

There you'll find all the links to my Facebook pages, my Twitter account, as well as my Goodreads and Shelfari profiles. Make sure to check out the Reviews and Coming Soon pages on my blog to get all the latest dirt on Scent of a White Rose, and a sneak peek at all my upcoming projects.

Thanks for joining me today, and again, thanks to Brittany for including me in this awesome giveaway!

Oracle by JC Martin COVER REVEAL!!!

As the countdown begins, the body count rises.

The Caldecott Chronicles No.1 (The Caldecott Chronicles #1) by R.G. Bullet

The Caldecott Chronicles No.1 (Volume 1)

Shifters by James F. Campbell

Shifters



Synopsis:
Imagine a world full of creatures that are able to shift their appearances at will. Envisage an existence with gormless beings as company. Then add to the picture sulphur-steeped air and lava-filled lakes, where Satan rules. But the question is: Would you even want to?

The book Shifters furnishes a possible future for mankind, where the Third World War has erupted, plunging the world into chaos, despair, and panic—diminishing the world’s population by apocalyptic proportions. And all this is instigated by the dark angel, who hides behind a façade of charity and kindness as the world’s richest man. But is he fully to blame?



My thoughts:

I had originally chosen this book with the thought that it would make me "think" more about the world in general. However, this was more of a horror based book that really did not catch my attention and had several scenes that were not something that I usually like to read about. Now as I say that I must clarify and say that while the story line was not something that I liked, the writing in general was good. So a person that likes to read about evil things (murder, rape of young girls, etc) might actually find this to be a good read. I, however, should have read some reviews of the book before choosing to read this one. The synopsis, in my opinion, is a bit misleading. I recommend this anyone who likes to read the dark side of the paranormal realm :)

I received a complimentary copy of Shifters by James F. Campbell as a member of the Dorrance Publishing Book Review Team. Visit dorrancebookstore.com to learn how you can become a member of the Book Review Team.

When Sarah and Jason Masada received an old house from an aunt they never knew existed, they were grateful for the blessing. Until they discovered the curse that came with being part of the Masada family--a full moon.

Oh my goodness!! Where to start?! Willow has done it again! Not only is her writing style completely addictive, her descriptions of scenes were, again, so intense that I had dreams about this book. The Werewolf/Hunter/Druid combo is just something you wouldn't expect. The character development for this book was off the charts incredible! Following Sarah and Jason through this book and seeing characters from book 1, Birthright, was amazing! I recommend this action packed book to all Paranormal lovers :)

The Dark Gifts: Birthright by Willow Cross



Cover for 'The Dark Gifts Birthright'




For one-thousand years, Druid prophecies foretold of a young witch destined to alter the fate of both human and immortal alike. This witch-turned-vampire would be capable of harnessing the supernatural abilities of both and, in a bloody rise to power, would rule with unwavering control.
Unwillingly thrust into a world she never dreamed existed, Liz Markum is catapulted into an ancient war between rival vampire factions. She must choose between those she loves and the ever-present darkness attempting to devour her very soul.
Only one question remains: Will Liz claim her birthright or surrender to the dark gift?
One choice.
One chance.
Two destinies.




This is definitely one of those books that will have you hooked from page one!! I had a really hard time putting Birthright down, which was a really bad thing since I kept reading it right before bed. I even had several dreams about it, that's how good it is!! Birthright is definitely different from other paranormal romance/vampire type books because it actually focuses on the action instead of the love story. Willow's representation of some of the scenes were so descriptive that I had a hard time removing the visualizations from my brain. I kept playing some of the scenes over and over so much that I wished (and seriously hope) that the book becomes a movie just so I could see exactly what she was picturing when she wrote the book! You will get what I mean once you get towards the end of the book ;) The Vampire/Druid/Witch combo in this books is amazing!! I recommend this book for ALL paranormal lovers.

Dance Me To The End Of Time By Catherine Cavendish

Cover for 'Dance Me To The End Of Time'



Emily is dreaming of Christmases past; of crackling fires and roasting chestnuts. Charles appears and takes her hand, and together they waltz back in time to old Vienna where Strauss himself conducts the orchestra. This is a short tale of enchantment and nostalgia - with just a touch of magic... 


This was a great short story! It's just long enough to make you wonder how it's going to end, but not so short that you don't get a sense of the story line.
