Bluestone Book 1

by A. Blackbird

Genre: Paranormal Academy Dark Romance

 

I’m just like them. I’m an elite, my brother is in with the it crowd, but I’m shunned.

Money can’t buy you everything. Well, it certainly can’t buy me acceptance in our world.


At Bluestone Academy, it doesn’t matter that I’m a witch like the rest of them.


I’m a deadblood—a witch without power.


And I pay for my acceptance into the witching school every single day.


It doesn’t end out of the doors, either.


This is my life. I’ll always be one of them, and forever be shunned—
by the one I’ve loved my whole life.

Hunted

by A. Blackbird

Genre: Dark Paranormal Romance, Red Riding Hood Retelling

 

A Dark Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

The villagers call her Red.
It’s the colour of her lips, her cloak, and the blood that stains her when she returns from the woods. The villagers call her Red for many reasons, but most of all, they’re too afraid to call her what she really is. Witch. But when a wolf stalks the village, Red might be the only one who can save them from the beast…the beast who has his sights set on her already. Red races against the three days until the full moon to uncover the wolf’s identity, find out what he wants from her, and save herself. To hell with the village, Red just wants to save herself. That’s what good witches do.


A dark re-telling of the old tale, where Red Riding Hood isn’t so little, and mightn’t be so good after all.

Shenanigans

Shenanigans Book 1

by Gail Koger

Genre: Paranormal Romance

 

Kandi Cain inherited her Dr. Doolittle abilities from her grandmother and became a psychic pet detective. To her dismay, she just acquired the power to communicate with the spirit world, but dead people give her the willies.

Just when Kandi thought her life couldn’t get more complicated, the neighbor from hell moved in next door. The nasty guy’s name is Dutch Callaghan. How can someone so gorgeous be such a dick? Kandi could chalk some of it up to his job. Dutch is a Phoenix PD homicide cop.

Kandi’s current case is rescuing a Yorkie from a brutal dog fighting ring. Little does she know her dog napping suspect is involved in a series of brutal murders. Disguised as an elderly nun, Kandi rescues the Yorkie and, in the process, blows the hell out of Dutch’s undercover operation.

Kandi now finds herself a person of interest in her client’s murder and her sexy-as-hell, pain-in-the-butt neighbor is in hot pursuit of the Ninja Nun. Is Dutch about to slap the cuffs on? Only time will tell.

The Trouble With Tigers

Shenanigans Book 2

 

ions and tigers and skunks, oh my! Kandi Cain’s a psychic pet detective. Her cases range from wrangling baby goats, to finding lost critters. Her current case is rescuing a lion from a Nigerian warlord. Kandi knew dressing up as a demonic clown and walking a lion down a city street would freak people out. But, wow! She didn’t expect Armageddon.

The hot as hell Detective Dutch Callaghan’s on her trail again and showing more than a professional interest. Kandi’s talents have attracted the attention of a CIA black ops agent who wants her to steal twelve endangered white tigers from a Pakistani warlord. The mission’s crucial to prevent a terrorist attack.

Wait! What? Terrorists? What had she gotten herself into? Kandi wasn’t a superhero. She couldn’t bend steel with her bare hands, and she wasn’t faster than a speeding bullet. She’s Doctor Doolittle. She talks to the animals and occasionally the dead.

Blackheart’s Treasure

Like to laugh? Love mayhem? Do hot, sexy love scenes turn you on? Wanna know if a not quite human meter maid can find love with a billionaire Alpha wolf. Or will her enemies cut their romance short?

Howdy. My name is Gail Koger and once upon a time I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Too many years of wild requests, screwy questions, bizarre behavior and outrageous demands have left me with a permanent twitch and an uncontrollable craving for chocolate. I took up writing science fiction romance to keep from killing people. So far, it has worked.

Book Description:

The Chai House is a haunting debut novel that explores the complexity of community when individuals are unaware of their own roles in upholding systems of oppression. Swati has spent her entire life trying to live up to her family’s expectations of her. She has learned it is easiest to just do what is asked of her, without resistance; a skill that has helped her survive in the early years of the Knights, an authoritarian regime. When her mother has a request for Swati, she agrees to it as it is the only way to help her young niece have some sort of future. An emotional page turner, The Chai House examines the desire to be true to yourself in a world where familial, cultural, societal, and political values direct you to stay small and stay silent.

Author Interview:
1. What made you write a feminist horror novel?Like many authors, I have always written books that I wanted to read. I have always written feminist fiction and thought it was time to try and tell a horror story told from a feminist perspective.

2. Where do you get inspiration for your stories?

This question makes me think of the Bob Ross quote, ‘Beauty is everywhere. You only have to look to see it.’ The same is true of my stories, there is so much inspiration surrounding us, all it takes is a spark and then the time to get words on to paper!

3. What advice would you give budding writers?

My advice comes from the wisdom every writer has – write, write, write & when you are ready, share your words with the world!

4. What is your next project?

I am excited to be writing a post-apocalyptic feminist story that takes place outside of The Chai House universe!

5. What is the last great book you’ve read?

The Hole by Hye-Young Pyun. I could not put this book down and the story stayed with me long after I read the last page.
