    Diane Saxon author of Banshee Seduction, Montgomery’s Sin
    Book 1 answers five easy questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Diane Saxon lives in the Shropshire countryside with her tall, dark, handsome husband, two gorgeous daughters, a Dalmatian, one-eyed kitten, ginger cat, six chickens and a lazy black Labrador puppy called Beau – a name she stole for her hero in For Heaven’s Cakes.After
    working for years in a demanding job, on-call and travelling great distances,
    Diane gave it all up when her husband said “follow that dream”.
    Having
    been hidden all too long, her characters have burst forth demanding plot lines
    of their own and she’s found the more she lets them, the more they’re inclined
    to run wild.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    Although I’ve lived abroad for much of my young life and
    still love to travel, there is nothing finer than a good old fashioned English
    Sunday roast. A rib of beef, pink in the middle, Yorkshire pudding, roast
    potatoes (crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle), leeks in cheese sauce,
    carrots and broccoli with a good, savory gravy
    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    I love food. I’m no connoisseur, but I would far rather have
    a little bit of something really delicious than a whole heap of something just
    for the sake of eating.
    If I’m given the choice when dining out, I will always
    choose an Italian restaurant. I find it very difficult to choose, but I love a
    tasty seafood risotto or a creamy tagliatelli.
    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    I still have my favorite toy. It’s tucked away in one of my
    underwear drawers, so delicate now that I very rarely touch it. But, it’s
    there, never to be thrown out. Threadbare and floppy, my little lambie has been
    with me since I was probably four or five. It’s been all over the world with
    me. Drowned in brandy on our return home from Germany, a straw filled toy, it
    would never have survived if my Grandma hadn’t insisted on washing, washing,
    washing it. I still fancy I can smell alcohol on it now. With both eyes
    missing, a broken leg and the stitching gone from its mouth and nose, it’s
    still one of my most precious possessions.
    What are your hobbies?
    Reading, writing, walking my Dalmatian and black Labrador for
    miles, snorkeling and holidaying.
    What kinds of things do
    you read when you’re researching a new book?
    It depends on what kind of book I’m writing. When I wrote my
    sci-fi, Short Circuit Time, I spent a lot of research time reading Steven
    Hawkins. For my upcoming book later this year, I’ve trawled the internet for
    information on Black Hawk helicopters, their pilots and training.
    For Banshee Seduction, it was less reading but I had great
    fun talking to a football agent, discussing game play with him and his football
    friend, researching game-play, watching clips of games – it was no hardship,
    really.

    About the Book

    Banshee Seduction, Montgomery’s Sin Book 1
    Fantasy, Shapeshifter
    Diane Saxon
    Book Rating R
    Sweet, shy librarian Ginny has a problem. Whenever passion strikes, so
    do the weeping, wailing voices in her head. Being half banshee, she’s already
    run screaming from the underworld and her female relatives, believing love will
    find a way with patience and faith on planet Earth.
    The trouble is, humans just aren’t man enough, and every time Ginny
    shows interest in a male, she makes him bleed. It’s going to take more than
    just a simple human being to get past Ginny’s defences.
    Matthew, “The Dane,” fullback for the New York Chameleons, knows the
    moment he meets the little fireball that she’s his mate. For two hundred years
    he and his dragon have waited for a female capable of setting their world on
    fire. Problem is, he doesn’t seem to be able to stop her from going up in
    flames long enough to prove he’s more than man enough for her screaming
    banshee.
    Will Matt ever be able to convince Ginny she’s his mate? And will Ginny
    get Matt alone long enough to let him appreciate her pyrotechnics?

    Lord of the manor Percival Winstanley reveals a long ago love triangle leading to death and the bewitching of his son and heir Stephen. Margie’s cousin Shyan is supposed to protect her. But he’s lured away by Winstanley’s cougarish housekeeper, Mrs. DePlessey, leaving Margie in the dubious care of servant Kern.

    Character Interview: Dawn – Reborn to Burn @TheAnnaDurand #RLFblog #PNR

    Reborn to Burn
    by Anna Durand 
    The character interview allows a hero or heroine to tell
    readers about himself or herself. Today’s interview is with Dawn from Reborn to
    Burn.

    Interview with Dawn

    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    Until yesterday, I was a mummy who died 3,000 years ago in Ancient
    Egypt. Scientists regenerated my body, though nobody knows how or why I woke up.
    Since I have no memories of my previous life, I let my hero Jake name me. He chose
    Dawn, because the Egyptians believed the dawn was a time of rebirth.
    What can you not do (but
    need to do) during this story?
    I need to remember my first life, understand why I was reborn,
    and escape from the scientists who are hunting me.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    I feel I shouldn’t be alive; I’m an abomination, a freak with
    DNA from frogs and microscopic creatures. Am I truly human again, or something more
    sinister? The question haunts me.
    In the story world your
    author created, explain what it is you fear most and why.
    I worry I’ll turn into a zombie or some other unnatural monster.
    Jake says that’s ridiculous, but who knows? Hey, I’m a resurrected mummy girl, so
    anything seems possible.
    Tell us about your significant
    other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Thaat would be Jake Maxwell, the man who helped me break out
    of Redeo Biotech. He claims he’s just a grad student, but I suspect he’s a secret
    agent or maybe a superhero in hiding, given his talent for outsmarting the bad guys.
    He doesn’t see a monster when he looks at me, just a woman — and he awakens desires
    in me I never imagined existed.
    What would that person
    say about you?
    Jake says I’m a woman, not a thing. He calls me beautiful, sexy,
    and wonderful — and more importantly, he makes me feel that way.

    About the Writer

    I’m an award-winning writer, a reader, a freelance librarian,
    and an audiobook addict. I specialize in sexy, suspenseful paranormal romances.
    Why did you choose this
    character for the interview today?
    Reborn to Burn, and whole Reborn series, is all about Dawn’s
    journey. Jake undergoes a transformation, too, but the stories revolve around Dawn’s
    literal rebirth and the questions swirling around her origins and nature. She is
    a mystery — a woman with no memory, no name (until Jake christens her Dawn), and
    no explanation for her awakening.
    When writing the book,
    what did you discover about this character that surprised you?
    I uncovered a shocking secret about Dawn and what rebirth has
    done to her, but I wouldn’t want to spoil the big surprise! I also learned she’s
    willing to sacrifice herself to save Jake, which surprised Dawn, too.
    Are any sequels planned
    for this book?
    Yes. Reborn to Burn is the second book in the Reborn series,
    with Reborn to Die as the first one. The third installment, Reborn to Avenge, will
    be published later this year.
    What genre(s) would you
    like to write that you haven’t tried yet?
    I’d love to try historical romance and urban fantasy. I read
    voraciously, and those are two of my favorite genres — after paranormal romance,
    of course!

    About the Book

    Title Reborn to Burn
    Genre Paranormal romance
    Author Anna Durand
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    After three thousand years as a mummy, Dawn awakened to a dangerous
    new reality where science and the supernatural collide. Her only ally is Jake Maxwell,
    a mysterious grad student with an unusual talent for evading bad guys. Dawn’s resurrection
    spells trouble and power for the scientists responsible, and they have no intention
    of letting her go without a fight. But as she flees with Jake, a shocking revelation
    about her newfound life rocks them both. While their enemies close in, they discover
    a fiery passion — and a bond deeper and stronger than time itself. But can they
    outrun the past before their future is shattered?

    Ley Lines: Ruled by the Moon @TheGoddessNaomi #RLFblog #PNR

    Ruled by the Moon
    by Naomi Bellina 

    By Naomi Bellina

    I’m minutes away from hopping on a plane leaving St. Louis Missouri.
    I’ve been visiting my mom and sister and I’m waaaaaay past ready to go home. For
    one thing, I’m freezing my butt off! Time to get back to Florida. I grew up in St.
    Louis and I knew without a doubt, it was not the place I wanted to spend the rest
    of my life. Now before you St. Louis dwellers start blasting me for picking on your
    city, let me say, there are many wonderful features of this area. Fans love and
    support their sport teams, for sure. St. Louis offers a wide variety of good food
    and entertainment, a fantastic highway system, nearby wineries to make you drool
    and the most beautiful autumns you’ll ever see.
    But not for me. I longed for something more in whatever place
    I lived. I can’t describe what that something was, but knew I’d recognize it when
    I felt it. In Ruled by the Moon, magical people such as witches and werewolves are
    drawn to Nocturne because of powerful ley lines that run through the area. I’ve
    always been fascinated with ley lines so I did some research and found they could
    very well be running through my fictitious Midwestern United States town. Check
    out this Google
    page for some great maps of ley lines. They’re everywhere! According to Wikipedia, ley lines are
    “…supposed alignments of numerous places of geographical and historical interest,
    such as ancient monuments and megaliths, natural ridge-tops and water-fords.”
    I believe they’re spots that contain certain kinds of power.
    On this visit to St. Louis, I checked in to see if I could feel
    energy from that strong line running through Missouri. Nope. At least not anything
    I could pick up. Or maybe, the energy that flowed was exactly what I found unpleasant.
    Maybe it affected me on some level I wasn’t even aware of. I live in Florida now
    and though there are many qualities I love about this state (it’s soooooo much better
    to be here in February), it’s still not quite my perfect home. I’ve always been
    drawn to mountains and after a recent visit to Taos, New Mexico, would love to explore
    that area. Maybe one day.
    How about you? Do you have a place that resonates with your soul?
    Thank you so much for visiting today.

    About the Book

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    A psychic vet, a secretive werewolf, a menace stalking the shifters.
    Welcome to Nocturne.
    Dylan is a werewolf with a problem. He shifts at the new moon
    as well as at the full moon. He was born a werewolf, not made like most shape-changers
    and due to these unique traits he’s avoided joining a pack and has given up hope
    of having a normal life. Morgan is a veterinarian, ready to be on her own for a
    good long time after leaving a cheating, spineless husband. She has a plan for her
    life that doesn’t include a bossy, furry man.
    Both are drawn to Nocturne, a town filled with magic due to a
    strong convergence of ley lines in the area. Morgan and Dylan recognize a connection
    when they meet, but neither one is looking for romance. After a harrowing encounter
    with a panther shape-shifter, they must combine forces and work together to uncover
    a menace that threatens the town. If they can learn to trust each other and let
    their guard down, they have a chance to solve the mystery and open the door to love.
