Happy December Release!

FIRE CURSED

Lucifer’s daughter rises.

Faith Kennedy’s quiet life off the grid ends when her mother dies of cancer. Before her mother succumbs to the disease, she tells Faith who her father is.

The revelation terrifies Faith more than the thought of the state foster care system.

When Tom and Bridget Ryan step into the state home for girls, the course of Faith’s life changes yet again. With a new, less frightening future offered, Faith jumps at the chance to live in the light despite her newly found talents.

However, word that the devil’s daughter lives brings out dark supernatural entities, and each and every one of them either wants to control her or kill her.

Sample Sunday - Night Hawk Excerpt

Sample Sunday - Night Hawk Excerpt:

“You’re more than welcome to join me,” I said when she showed no signs of moving.


Her mouth opened and she glanced back toward the living room. “When?”

“Right now,” I said, knowing she wasn’t referring to my offer.

She rolled her eyes. “When did you paint that mural?”

“A long time ago,” I said. “Now, are you going to join me or not?” This time I turned toward her, giving her the full view and I smiled at the way her gaze bounced, her eyes widening a fraction before inching their way back up my chest to my face. Her cheeks bloomed and I cocked an eyebrow at her.

She pressed her lips together and slammed the door, marching out of the room in a huff.

I chuckled and ran the soap over my chest, running my fingers over what was left of the welt on my skin. The vampiric healing powers still amazed me enough that I missed the shift in the air around me.

Nails scraped my back and I jumped, swinging my head in the direction of the disturbance. Her wide eyes met mine and I turned, drinking her in from head to toe. Exquisite was the only word that popped into mind and when her fingers touched my chest I reached, covering her hand and holding it against my skin.

“What are you doing?” I whispered because having her undressed and this close put me at a major disadvantage.

“I’m saying thank you,” she said and her hands moved lower.

Catching her wrists, I warned, “Naomi, don’t start something you can’t finish.” My body responded anyway and she closed the distance. Her lips grazed my chest and I closed my eyes, releasing her and surrendering to her exploration.

When her tongue trailed lower, I recalled the memories of her ex and my eyes snapped open. As much as the thought of her taking me in her mouth thrilled me, I didn’t want to be that memory and I grabbed her by the shoulders, pulling her up to face me. She wasn’t one of the common harlots from my past that I let drop to their knees before me.

No, Naomi was different and I wanted more.

“You do not have to do this just because you aren’t ready for anything more.”

Her dark eyes met mine and I traced the frame of her face with my fingertips, studying every curve. Leaning down, I took her lower lip in my mouth, sucking gently before shifting and delivering a kiss that started as tender and rich as her blood, but it soon escalated into an all-consuming heat and I could envision living in this bliss for the rest of eternity.

I had lied to her today.

Fear wasn’t the only deep emotion I had encountered since I plucked her out of the sky, this need to connect, to love again overwhelmed me. The irony of her name and the form she turned into added to the feel that fate had prepared this feast just for me.

Coming April 2013!

Author Interview Series - Melissa Mayberry

Today I have the pleasure of hosting Melissa Mayberry, one of the new author’s under the Novel Concept Publishing imprint.  Melissa’s book Mellifica: Devastating First Love just came out on New Year’s.

JET:  Can you tell us about Mellifica?

MEL: Mellifica: Devastating First Love was written about a difficult time in my life. I could have never imagined the impact that one person had on my life, and it still amazes me that I was able to pull through and grow and learn through the torment that my first love put me through.

JET:  What drew you to romance?

MEL: Romance doesn’t leave you sad; it gives you a happy ending. I’m a complete sucker for happy endings. Mellifica is written as young adult because the true events that this book is based on started when I was sixteen.

JET:  What’s been your most challenging hurdle on the road to publication? 

MEL: Writing about personal events can be easy because memories can be more vivid than my imagination. However, when the storyline became heartbreaking, those memories were hard to write about. I found myself visiting old demons that I had forgotten years ago. Writing Mellifica was so emotional for me, and I hope it brings my readers the full spectrum of emotions that it brought me.

JET:  What was your favorite moment in the journey?

MEL: The day I decided to start writing I was excited to be able to create and revisiting some of my memories was special. During the process, I’ve made a lot of new friends and became reacquainted with several old friends. When I finally finished, and it was the best I could do, I was overwhelmed with relief and pride. There is no way to pick a favorite from all of those moments.

JET:  Which authors had the most influence over you growing up? 

MEL: I was crazy about poetry when I was younger, and I also had a somber outlook. So, of course, I loved Emily Dickenson.

JET:  When did you know you wanted to take the plunge into the writing world?

MEL: When I was in high school, I wrote a lot of short stories, poems and even wrote for the high school paper. The boyfriend that Mellifica was written about, “Arien,” encouraged me to write and we wrote a lot of short stories together. I loved it so much, but years after that relationship I couldn’t continue to write even though many people begged me years ago to write this story. About eighteen years passed, and the true story of “Arien” came to a final, heartbreaking and very ironic ending. The events were just so strange that I knew it was fate telling me that I had to write again.

JET: What’s the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of book research? Most interesting fact you uncovered? 

MEL: There wasn’t a lot that I had to research for this book. All of the information fell in my lap, begging me to put it all together, and I can’t tell the most interesting fact that I uncovered. That would be a huge spoiler for book two! I can tell you that it has to do with a gravestone. It’s interesting to note that there is a website with pictures of headstones. The craziest thing I’ve done was stalk Facebook pages. I even “friended” a certain nemesis—in the name of research.

JET:  Of all the novels and stories you’ve written - which one is your favorite?  Why?

MEL: Of course it’s Mellifica. It’s the first full length novel that I’ve written, and it’s so close to my heart, that it will be known to me as one of my biggest accomplishments. The books are eighteen years of procrastination that I’ve buckled down and accomplished.

JET:  Any advice (from a writer’s standpoint) for the novices out there?

MEL: If you haven’t written in years, make friends with people that practice the art. Without my critique group, I may never have gotten past the first chapter. Having a few very honest people to read your work is more helpful than a thousand people that love you reading it. Keep your skin thick and your determination strong.

JET: All right - now that I’ve hammered you with the big questions, let’s tackle my favorite (and geeky) quick ten. . . starting with:  Paper or Plastic?

MEL: Paper—you know, book covers!

JET: Steak or Tofu?

MEL: Both.

JET: Beach or Mountains?

MEL: BEACH!!

JET: Country or Rock-n-Roll?

MEL: Hair bands!

JET: Leather or Lace?

MEL: Both

JET: Angels or Demons?

MEL: Both!

JET: Paper or Digital?

MEL: Digital

JET:  Silent Film Classics or Cheesy B Rated Horror?

MEL: Ew. Neither.

JET: Twilight or True Blood

MEL: AH! Both.

JET: Coffee or Tea?

MEL: BOTH!!

JET:  Thank you for indulging me.  Before we wrap this up, can you tell us what you're working on now?  What's next?

MEL: Well, I’ve finished Mellifica Book two. I don’t know what to call it. I don’t know what the cover will look like. So, I’m working on the little things for book two.

While my mind is covering that, I’m also writing a few other things. I’m crazy like that. One story is called Reckless. A woman takes a huge leap of faith and crosses the country for a death defying stunt man. She learns to live life only to figure out she had been really reckless with hers.

Another work in progress is “Critical Access.” It’s a medical romance/comedy. I couldn’t help it, I’m a nurse!

Thank you for swinging in today,

Why reading romance novels makes women smarter - by Misty Wright

Why reading romance novels makes women smarter...


It might have something to do with women need some enjoyment with their living. The addiction of reading romance novels makes them more enjoyable in living and leads them to a very sharp and intuitive mind. Not only menreading in these books connect to their life and become happy but also in women who become more addict reading romance novel, they become emotional reading books and it leads them to become smarter than men when it comes to relationship.

Romance novel is somewhat happening in our real world. This novel has a realistic world not just they are imagination in the book but it has so many meaning to determine. There are so many couple today become cold with their partner but because we now understand the meaning of love, and women become smarter, we consider them the strong foundation of a relationship. They are just only women in the world but they are the combination of man’s living.

Many women because of reading novels, they become the adviser of many organization, families, communities, couple and teenagers. Only women understand the way novel works in their life. They can escape problems and conquer all. Most of us go through our daily lives on winding road. We're fall from every road with so many obstacles that we become hopeless but women overcome all of it. Reading romance is the best appetite for every woman who gives them a new world of hope and excitement. It is just like a challenge for them.

Romance novels take everywomanin a imaginary world which motivate them to stand firm. We must understand how women love reading novels because it might be the newest women in the world who needs to be strong, and it is not just like before. Women’s emotions is something we don’t understand what it is but sometimes it enlighten us how they handle this. Teenagers are mostly the fanatic of romance novels and they are so exciting in the inside world of the book.

They have the higher enjoyment and happiness. I find that romance novels works in the emotional aspects, that when you are stressed or tired, reading novels help for thinking about what makes for good relationships. It's one of the best books that emphasizes of being a woman, and to think in a positive manner. Romance novel remind you a similar character that you will change and that’s the meaning that you'll find happiness.

The absolute meaning of everyromance is so different in the real world; it is you who wants to find the exact happiness you have. When I started listening comments of every woman I encounter, being smart people is a reader. They believe that being smart women is not what you fell but what you experience and learn in the past days. Smart girls don't read romance novels by just only having fun but for learning. Romance novels present the women’s excitement into the next level. It builds a strong relationship and makes women ready to mingle.

Authors use every line in a unique and sexually exciting part to build every woman’s mind to take any directions and learning. In the same situation, smart girls not only read romance novels, they also write romance novels. Many women did this to express feelings. We lead the woman in what they want according to what might be helpful for them.
