 Summary:

Darcy burned with the pain of knowing she’d failed. What happened when a prophecy didn’t come true? It must not have been much of a prophecy in the first place. And if they couldn’t trust in that, then they couldn’t trust in anything at all. Five years ago, Darcy first received the prophecy of the Six, which stated she and her friends would save the land of Alitheia from a shadowy foe. For five years, she hasn’t known what the end will look like, but she certainly didn’t expect this. Thrust back into Alitheia through unexpected means, Darcy winds up alone, scared, and without her recent memory. As she struggles to regain her lost memories and reunite with the ones she loves, she pieces together the prophecies and the oracles to find they all converge into one story¾a story that tells her just how much she’ll have to give to save both worlds, and everyone she loves. Pursued through Alitheia by forces desperate to kill them, Darcy and her friends take a journey fraught with danger that will lead them, inevitably, to the final confrontation with the Shadow. Armed with newfound knowledge of how the prophecy of the Six will play out, Darcy and the others must have faith in the face of mounting odds and adversity. Ultimately, the greatest courage of all belongs not to those who give something of themselves, but to those who let go of what they could never control. Filled with stunning losses, heart-wrenching reunions, unexpected twists, and the power of love and sacrifice, the conclusion to The Gateway Chronicles will leave you breathless and begging for more from author K. B. Hoyle.

Praise for The Bone Whistle

"I really enjoyed this series from the opening pages of THE SIX, where we meet 13 year old, solipsistic, angst-ridden Darcy, through to the final pages of THE BONE WHISTLE where we leave her behind, matured and likely as grown as she will ever be."  - Suzy Goodreads Review

~~SUMMARY~~

Detective Paul Daniels has spent four and a half years mourning the loss of his wife. He’s been doing his best to raise their daughter, Chloe, with the help of his in-laws. When they inform him right before Thanksgiving that they’re going to be moving over two hours away, Paul finds himself without anyone to watch Chloe—especially when he’s called out to a crime scene in the middle of the night. Little does he know that meeting his baby brother’s girlfriend and her sister, Megan, will change everything.

Megan Carson has taken a few wrong turns in her life, but she’s doing her best to get back on track. When she meets Chloe, the little girl swiftly worms her way into Megan’s heart. The opportunity to help Paul out and watch his daughter appears to be a blessing in disguise. She quickly volunteers to be Chloe’s live-in nanny.

Everything is working well until the three of them head back to Ohio for Chris and Elizabeth’s wedding. Paul has a little too much to drink during the reception, and he and Megan end up sharing a heated kiss. When he wakes up the next day, he has a pounding headache but remembers nothing.

Megan, however, isn’t willing to forget. Over the past few months since she’s been playing nanny, her feelings for Paul have changed. He is everything she never knew she wanted, and now that she knows there might be something there, she’s going after what she wants—Paul.

~~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~~

Sherri spent most of her childhood detesting English class. It was one of her least favorite subjects because she never seemed to fit into the standard mold. She wasn't good at spelling, or following grammar rules, and outlines made her head spin. For that reason, Sherri never imagined becoming an author. At the age of thirty, all of that changed. After getting frustrated with the direction a television show was taking two of its characters, Sherri decided to try her hand at writing an alternate ending, and give the characters their happily ever after. By the time the story finished, it was one of the top ten read stories on the site, and her readers were encouraging her to write more. Seven years later, Sherri is the author of seven full-length novels, and one short story. Writing has become a creative outlet for Sherri that allows her to explore a wide range of emotions, while having fun taking her characters through all the twists and turns she can create. She is most well known for her Finding Anna Series about a young woman rescued from being a sex slave by a wealthy Dominant. Sherri’s eighth novel, Crossing The Line, is scheduled to release September 4, 2014.

Zombified Blog Tour

Zombified

by Maggie LaCroix

Release Date: August 28 , 2014

Published by The Writers Coffee Shop

Genre: Fantasy/Urban, Romance/Paranormal ISBN e-book:   978-1-61213-324-9

Available from: Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, and TWCS PH

~~SUMMARY~~

Monsters generally know their place: vampires get to be sexy while zombies just decompose. But Maggie La Croix’s Zombified conjures up an entirely different kind of undead raised by good old-fashioned Voodoo. These gorgeous walking corpses don’t eat brain, they don’t stagger, and their bodies are spared the indignities of putrefaction.

Take Henri Jolicoeur. More than one hundred years after his death he is still a bewitching Adonis. But zombification does have its downsides. Henri has a master, a powerful Voodoo priest whose spells keep Henri, his teenage zombie sister, and five other poor souls in perpetual servitude.

That is, until a hurricane devastates their New Orleans home and the zombies are evacuated to the Texas border town of El Paso. The curse is broken. They are free and intend to stay that way. But how can they pass for human when they don’t eat or sleep and they’re reeling from black magic withdrawal? If that isn’t enough, they have a traitor in their midst, their master is hot on their trail, and a mysterious stranger in black is watching.

Enter Josie Cortez, a cowboy boots-wearing reporter at the local newspaper who desperately needs a good story to save her moribund career and get her editor off her back. One look at Henri and his weird little family and she knows she’s struck journalism gold. But strange things keep happening around Henri, things that remind Josie of her own tragic family history with black magic, a history that cost her her beloved mother and led Josie straight to the bottom of a bottle. Josie would rather forget all about that. Forgetting Henri, however, is easier said than done, even if falling for a man without a heartbeat could get her more than a broken heart. It could get her zombified.

~~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~~

When she first embarked in fiction writing, Maggie thought, Piece of cake. After all, she’d been a newspaper reporter for ten years; writing was her daily bread. But Zombified, her first novel about a band of sexy zombies, was anything but easy. The story wasn’t conveniently laid out for her at a press conference; it had to be coaxed out of her own imagination. Plot points resisted solving, descriptions meandered, and characters misbehaved. But just when things seemed bleakest, it happened. Maggie fell in love with it all: the zombies, the love story, and even the rituals of writing. Maggie likes her leading women flawed and her science fiction sexy. She went to school for journalism and political science. She lives in the United States.

Praise for Zombified

Mention zombies and the first thing you tend to think of is one of the creatures on The Walking Dead, not smokin’ hot gigolos. In her debut novel, Zombified, set in the devastation post-Hurricane Katrina, Maggie LaCroix has managed to create a world of attractive Creole revenants, forced to do the bidding of an evil voodoo master. When down-on-her-luck journalist Josie Cortez is assigned to cover the arrival of the Katrina refugees in her Texas town, she gets more than just a front-page story. Her attraction to the gorgeous man with the strange eyes, Henri Jolicoeur, leads her into the kind of danger she could never have imagined. Zombified is unique, fast-paced, and quite humorous in places. Just one look at that cover tells you this is not your usual zombie story.    ~Andrea from Books, Baking and Other Objects of Beauty

Guest Post

They had been at the back of the last bus and were as bewildered as their traveling companions. More, maybe. There were seven of them, clearly together, and yet they did not look like they were related. They came in a spectrum of skin colors. There was one pale, blond girl and a tall, stunning, dark woman, graceful as a willow. There was an elderly black man, his skin almost blue, and a tanned, blond Adonis. Their clothes were mismatched and ill-fitted. And dirty. But their faces were glowing, their hands steady, their feet assured.

The more intriguing part, though, was that they all had the same unusual eyes—gray, the color of smoke.

The last one out was something else altogether. He was a young man, perhaps a couple of years younger than Josie. Maybe all of twenty years of age, she guessed. He would have attracted stares in any situation. He was gorgeous. Tall, ripped, and blessed with skin the color of caramel and the striking eyes they all shared. They stood out all right. They were beautiful, even in rags. And he, the last one, stood out even among them. Josie realized she was holding her breath.

She couldn’t keep her eyes off the stranger. While the other evacuees had looked through her, if they looked at all, this one fixed his eyes, his deep gray eyes, on her. She held his stare, waiting for a clue to his intentions—a smile, a nod, even a frown. But he just looked straight at her, his eyes boring holes in her, reaching inside and lighting a fuse line of heat down to her belly. It seemed to last an eternity, that stare.

 “You’ve already lost one love in your lifetime — don’t let Katie be the second.”

Summary:

After a bitter divorce, Katie Rodriquez moves with her nine-year-old son, Shawn, to California to take a job at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. A fresh start is exactly what she and her son need. However, a fateful stroll on a Carmel beach turns her world upside down when she meets a handsome doctor who is struggling with his own past.

Dr. Chase O’Donnell had everything a man could ask for when a tragic accident changed his life forever. Tortured by his memories, he locks away his grief to care for his two children, refusing to face what his loss has done to him and the people he loves most.

Katie’s son is a rowdy child with a good heart, so it is a bit of a surprise when Shawn befriends the quiet and thoughtful Tony O’Donnell. Tony’s love for baseball draws Shawn into his world, and from then on, they are inseparable. It is only a matter of time before they bring their parents together again in a surprising twist of fate. However, Tony’s older sister, Liz, doesn’t like the new boy who is prone to catching critters and teasing girls. Liz isn’t very happy with the idea of her father having a new girlfriend, either. Loyal to a fault and haunted by the fear of abandonment, she lashes out and refuses to accept the new woman in her father’s life.

Katie and Chase must find the strength to rebuild their lives while juggling the demands of careers and single parenthood. When Chase’s daughter lashes out, they soon discover that the price of their romance is too high. To heal his family’s pain, they both must risk losing each other. Facing unresolved guilt and anger, will they have the courage to learn to love again?

Ashley's Addictive Book Blog 1 Year Blogiversary Post

Happy Birthday to Ashley's Addictive Book Blog 

Hi there! Ashley here. It has been a fun year for me. Never in a million years did I ever think I would be here today blogging, working for Authors from all over the world, Meeting other bloggers. and I think the best part of this whole thing is ALL THE AMAZING BOOKS I have received. I would like to take today and go back thru the life of Ashley's Addictive Book Blog. So I hope you enjoy.

August 2nd 2013- Ashley Posted her first

review ever "How To Discipline Your Vampire" Sorry that review was awful, Horrible you name it. The errors in it looked as if a three year old may have done it. 
None the less it was the very first post I ever did. I posted two that day 

August 4th 2013- The review post that made Ashley start a blog in the first place.  Thats right I started reading books in the hospital again when my youngest was in the hospital for a long time. Facebook had suggested that I read the Inside out Trilogy from Lisa Renee Jones because I liked 50 Shades Of Gray ( I read that series like five times I kid you not) So I looked up her book and started reading If I Were You.  When I finished I just had to have more. I think maybe just maybe between 50 Shades and The Inside Out Trilogy I officially became hooked on reading Erotic Novels. I could not stop talking about these books and well lets face it not everyone in your family might grasp the emotional attachment you can have from a book. So A nurse had asked me if I ever thought about leaving a review for the authors on Amazon or even Barns&Noble. I laughed I said I never have the time to do all that. Well So since I Was addicted to Lisa's books and she was still writing them I was following her Found out the next book in the series ( A Novella ) Was due to be released on my Birthday Aug 12th 2013. I knew just than I had to have that book. On the 2nd of August is when I saw a post from Lisa " The Master Undone is now Live on NetGalley." I am sitting there screaming I had no clue what NetGalley was and so I looked it up. It was a site where you could get the books free if you reviewed the book. I was all over that. I wanted that book by any means and if I could get it free HECK YA!!!! So I started to see what I needed to open an account on NetGalley. I needed a Blog, ( What is a blog? I was thinking to myself and well there was the clue. I start a blog so I did) Aug. 2nd I was approved to review The Master Undone. I started reading on the 3rd was done that night posted a spoiler full review on the 4th ( for those of you who are new to blogging and reviewing Posting a review with tons of spoilers before the book is even released to the public is like the BIGGEST NO NO of THE BLOGGING COMMUNITY ! I learned the hard way.) So yes I posted on the 4th the book was not even due out till the 12th OOPS! For a little while I continued to post here and there I even got granted permission to review another book of Lisa's that was from a new series called Escaping Reality. 

But than my daughter got sick and once again I found myself in the hospital, to depressed to think about reading or blogging.  I stopped blogging for almost two months but none the less I came back 

So there you have it how I started blogging 


January 2014- Ashley's Addictive Book Blog took of like super fast and in that month I started blogging and promoting authors in a whole new way. I decided to start by making book trailers as well as other things for the authors. The first author to help me realize what potential I had was Angee Taylor author of the Secret Saga and my first Book trailer was for her Take a look for yourself.  

April 2014- Ashley's Addictive Book Blog Branched off and Ashley's Addictive Book Promotions became the real deal. The first client to get services from Ashley's Addictive Book Promotions was Chris Birdy (she Is mentioned below) 

This next section is going to recognize the amazing authors that have been featured on Ashley's Addictive Book Promotions  

Well as you all know the Amazing Author Lisa Renee Jones was the author who inspired me to start the blog by announcing The Master Undone on NetGalley. 

The next author would be Manuela Cardigan Author of Guilty Pleasures. Manuela was the first author that Ashley's Addictive Book Blog participated in a blog tour thru not only NetGalley but her Publishing house The Writers Coffee Shop as well.  Manuela has also became a dear friend of mine that we talk almost every day. Guess where she lives. Any Guess yet? Ah well I will let you know Portugal! How amazing is that I think its cool to get to know authors all over the world. I even had the pleasure to work with an author from Pairs.   

After that I started working close with NetGalley, Requesting books, getting in touch with the author myself, trying to build a audience all at the same time Learning more and more how to blog and even set my blog up to look professional. 

Glenn Kaplan 

The next author I worked with was Glenn Kaplan Author of Poison Pill. However at that time once again my daughter was back in the hospital and I had to cancel his tour it took a while but not only was I working on a tour for Glenn I was also working for another Author. 


This author let me tell you, he had a story like no other and truthfully I was iffy about his book. I had never read a book in the category/ genre he said it was. After starting his book on the first sentence, I could not stop reading. I would like you all to meet Brandon Godbee Author of the Angel Omega Series 

 

 





Brandon Because I had to cancel his tour as well because of being in the hospital waited patiently until I was able to get back on the Blog horse. He has now also been featured on a blog tour with Ashley's Addictive Book Promotions

Are these covers Hot or what? I love them 

Angee Taylor as I already said she was the amazing woman who not only helped me realize my potential for becoming a Promotinost/ Virtual Assistant, but Angee was also there for me when I needed someone to talk to when my daughter was once again in the hospital and the doctors did not want to listen to me. I am proud to consider her a friend. She is Also the First author I was able to set up a Book Signing for and get to meet her in person ( she is just as amazing as she is in her books let me tell ya!)

So Also as I said up above The first client to get services from Ashley's Addictive Book Promotions was Chris Birdy. Chris is the author of The Pajama Series. The First book is The Girl In White Pajamas. Chris has an amazing series that I believe will go very far and I look forward to working with her thru her career as an author.  



This next shout out goes out to a Kick- Ass- M/M Erotic Author Piper Kay. She is also one of the Amazing Authors who writes for a Publishing house who kept me in the game to blog. With out Crushing Hearts Black Butterfly and Hot Ink Press I do not think I would have kept on after my Major Big Boo Boo With posting Lisa's review before the release date. Piper's newest books are the Invicta Series. Piper also just recently done Her first ever Blog Tour and can you guess who hosted it for her? You got it Ashley's Addictive Book Promotions. Now I have to say this. Never in my reading adventure did I EVER think I would read a book about two guys. I was so not for it. Well Piper is just so kick ass that she convinced me to try one of her books. The first book that I read that was M/M was Twisted Cherry By Piper Kay.
It was so hot and WOW I actually LIKED it, More so I would say I fell In love with the new genre that was introduced to me by Piper. I love that woman. She has not only helped in branching me to the new genre but she has also helped out in other events that I have done and has never held anything back.
