Author Spotlight Rissa Blakeley




1. If you were a character in your one of your books who would you be ?

 I would say the female lead in book two, Quinn. She is so strong and could tackle anything that she faces no matter how awful the situation is. Which is so not me. I'd shut down in a split second.

2.  If you could date or marry one of your male leads who would it be??

 For sure the male lead in book two... Gunther. He's a sexy blonde beast, who loves a great night of debauchery. Maybe this told you too much about myself...

3. Where would you like to do a book signing that you have not been to yet? 

I haven't been to one yet, so any book signing would do. Although, I would prefer a signing event so my socially awkward weirdness would just blend in with the crowd.

4. What Author would you Fan girl over if you met them??

 Without a doubt J.R. Ward. She amazes me with what she creates.

5. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would you go?

 London. 

6.  Out if all the reviews written for your books is there one that stood out from the rest one that you will always remember good or bad?? 

Well, it's not published yet so there aren't any reviews. I had someone start beta reading it early on and she cut my characters to bits. It felt like a dagger in my heart. Definitely something I will never forget.

7.  Would you like to see your books come to life ...tv movie, mini series or big screen?? If so is there a specific producer who you think would do your book justice?? 

Wouldn't that be a dream! I would love to see my books on the big screen. I would probably pass out because I am that lame.

8.  Lets turn the tables a bit we are always Interviewing authors so now here is your chance to ask bloggers and your readers if you could interview the blogs who promote you and your readers who love you what 3 questions would you ask them?

- What do you want to see less of in the Indie market?

- What types of plot lines pisses you off the most?

- Would you read outside of your usual genre if a book has great reviews?

9. What is your favorite candy??

 Reeses Peanut Butter cups. I could mow down a bunch of those in one sitting. This is a dangerous time of year for my hips.

10. What's your all time favorite movie?

 This is a tough one. There are several movies that I love. One that sticks out that I watch at least once a year and have for years: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It's an oddball choice, but it has turned into a holiday tradition. Plus, my husband and I quote the movie year round. Sad but true fact. 



Expected publication: October 25th 2014


Elaina Cooper's world was turned upside down on her wedding day. She was about to marry Henry Daniels, the man of her dreams or so she thought. Just as she was to walk down the aisle, screams pierced the air and with that, the apocalypse had begun.

Elaina felt something was wrong; Henry knew far too much about the undead roaming the street and she was determined to get to the bottom of it no matter what it took. Henry's haunted past catches up to him in more ways than one. He must face his demons and Elaina must learn to accept him and his past. Henry is determined to fight to the very end to make their sexy, mercurial relationship work no matter what staggers in their path.

Along with their thrown together band of survivors, they must travel south to face Henry's haunted past. There will be joys and loss but in the end, can love hold them together?

Rissa Blakeley is a quirky freelance writer and the author of Broken Dreams, the first book in the Shattered Lives series. She lives a socially awkward life just outside of Atlanta, Georgia with her amazing husband and daughter, two four-legged, furry children, and the many characters poking her brain, looking for more scenes about them in her books. When she isn't writing, she can be found procrastinating on Facebook













Adina Falling : Thread One By: Melissa Brodsky

This novella is intended for Mature audiences only. There are scenes not suitable for readers under the age of 18.

Thread One, Adina Falling, is the first novella in the Threads of Fate Series.



Best-selling erotica author, Adina LaCroix lives a fairly charmed, normal life. Born a Vampire , Adina is forever 21. She is successful, beautiful and wealthy, the envy of women and the object of desire for men. Her days are occupied with more human pursuits such as writing and avoiding unwanted phone calls from her publisher and her mother. With nightfall, however, her Vampire nature takes over and her hunt for blood and sex consume her.

Wanting to keep her conscience clean, she refuses to kill her prey, usually men with dark secrets. Instead, she uses the gift of mind control to implant permanent fears into her victim’s minds, ones so horrific that they will live in fear of death if they continue their evil ways. It was her way of doing the world a favor.

After her divorce from Michael Diamante, one of the most power-hungry and evil vampires in the world, Adina has remained single. Threats of permanent death from Michael have made her hesitant to find a mate. However, rumors have begun circulating around plans the Elders, the governing body of Vampires, have in store for her.

Plagued by a recurring nightmare, Adina begins a quest for answers. The only problem, instead of finding what she has been looking for; Adina is faced with more questions. Questions in the form of two men, Caleb Locke and Xander Stark.

One man holds promises of undying love and passion while the other holds the key to unlocking her secrets, and maybe even her heart.
Genres: Paranormal Erotic Romance




Melissa used to tell everyone she was going to be a writer when she grew up. Well, she is suddenly a grown up and it looks like she was telling the truth.
Living in a modern-day "Yours, Mine and Ours" household, Melissa is the biological mother of 3 children and the full-time stepmother to her husbands 2 children. On some days, she may even be considered "evil"...and not just as the stepmother!
With a strange vampire fascination since she was young, it was only natural that Melissa began writing stories about the Paranormal.
When she isn't writing, Melissa hangs out on Facebook way too much. And on occasion, she's been known to throw out some semi-nonsensical tweets over at @rockdrool.

Let Love Heal Blog Tour Stop and Giveaway By Melissa Collins

Synopsis
Perfection. We all strive for it, but what happens when the desire to be perfect consumes you? What happens when the need to bury your mistakes blinds you? Melanie Crane has always been the perfect daughter, friend, student – she’s been perfect at everything, in fact. But when she lets her insecurities, the ones that she keeps hidden from everyone, get the best of her, she falters in her pursuit of perfection. Melanie crumples under the pressure and buries her pain. Numbed by sadness and guilt, she is determined never to let anyone find out how broken she really is. Bryan Mahoney may appear to have everything in order. He’s charming, witty and completely swoon-worthy. In short, Bryan has life all figured out, but appearances can be deceiving. When the landscape of Bryan’s family changes in an instant, he’s left to pick up the pieces. Not all bruises leave a mark. Now, weary and afraid, Melanie and Bryan must find a way to let love heal their broken and jaded hearts. Meet the Author Melissa Collins 2I’ve always been an avid reader. Majoring in English Literature was a no brainer. Becoming a teacher and instilling my love for reading into my students was also a no brainer. I’ve spent the last ten years teaching and I’ve loved (mostly) every minute of it. When I was home on maternity leave for my third son, I discovered a new genre that sparked my creativity. My passion for writing sprang from my love of reading and once I knew I had a story to tell, I couldn’t wait to get it out there. I only hope that my readers enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

This is the 3rd book I have read by Melissa, I have loved all her work and Let Love Heal joins the others in books i will read over!! In this book we get Melanie and Bryan's story and I was so excited to get in to their story. I think I related to Melanie a lot being a bigger lady.  I loved Bryan and how he was with Melanie and knowing what Melanie does in the previous book i was on pins and needles all through this book pleading with him to find it in his heart to forgive and at one point in the book right when i was going to give up pleading with each page turn things turn around.  I loved reading through their troubles and being able to related to their insecurities and how they manage to work through the tough events that challenged them.  I was so upset with Melanie many times in the story but she is young and learns that the worst thing she thought about her self wasn't true man on man that is when I was praying with every page i read that she would share her secret .  I wont give anything away but Love does Heal in time.  I love Melissa's books and would recommend them to anyone!!! Cant wait to see what she has for us in the future!
