These authors created a paranormal and fantasy romance collection that will blow your socks off. Check it out below along with the featured author, Celia Breslin.

When the moon rises, desire follows.


Diamond Moon Rising
by: Celia Breslin
(included in Lunar Seductions anthology)

BLURB:

Her wolf wants him. Her human side wants out.

After her last shift nearly kills her, human-wolf hybrid Darci has had enough—it’s time to stop shifting once and for all. Armed with a cryptic note from her dead shifter dad, she sets out in search of his mythical hometown in the wilds of Rogue Valley, Oregon, hoping Dad is right, and the shifters there might help.

As a dominant beta and pack protector, Ross is never taken by surprise…until a half-wolf half-human pixie with the biggest green eyes he’s ever seen lands on his doorstep. It’s rare for strangers to venture into their world—rarer still for a fated mate to literally fall into your arms. But she did, and he recognizes her immediately as his one and only.

Darci isn’t sure about the whole mate business. She just wants a normal human life, free from shifting. Ross won’t give up on her wolf and tries to help her accept her true nature and their mate bond. But the Full Moon is three days away, threatening Darci with a potentially deadly shift, and certain pack members would rather kill a human than help one. Darci might not survive long enough to trust Ross with her heart.


Diamond Moon Rising by Celia Breslin

A thump from outside on his deck, heavier than the staccato taps of the hail, halted him in his foyer. More offbeat thuds sounded near the front door. 
Company in this weather?
No one would venture up his private road uninvited…
He stalked to his door and released a bit of power in warning. If they were a shifter, they would likely take the hint. And if they didn’t… Well, he was a dominant wolf, a Beta, and one of the alpha’s enforcers.
They don’t stand a chance.
The feedback froze his fingers on the doorknob.
Female.
He inhaled. Damn, she smells good.
Human. Wolf.
Wait…both?
The copper tang of blood hit his nose. She’s injured.
He flung open the door and caught his visitor off guard, one small, white fist raised to knock. The woman startled then fell forward. Ross caught her in his arms then pulled her inside, kicking the door shut with one booted foot.
The petite female sagged against him, a shivering bundle of sopping wet woman. Underneath the dampness, her scent drop-kicked his gut.
Fresh and sweet, like apples dipped in cinnamon and honey.
His body perked up, taking extreme notice. A growl of possession threatened to tear out of his throat, and an ancient, primal energy stirred to life inside him, accelerating his pulse.
Holy hell, she’s my potential mate.
The scent of her blood spurred him into action. He lowered her gently to the floor. “Are you okay?”
His instincts urged him to check her for wounds everywhere, but he was a stranger and didn’t want to spook her. But goddamn, he wanted to touch her. Peel off her wet clothes. To see all of her and warm her with his body.
With a jacket covering her torso, baggy jeans hiding her legs, and a ball cap pulled low over her face, all he could see so far was her quivering pale chin, full red lips, and delicate, trembling fingers peeking out from her coat sleeves.
“S-s-sorry, d-dripping all ov-v-ver your f-f-floor,” she said, her teeth chattering.
Her snow-white fingers curled into fists, her arms trembling with the effort to keep herself upright. Blood droplets dotted the floor plank near her hip.
To hell with propriety. “You’re injured. Let me help you.” He pulled up her cap and damn near swallowed his tongue.
Big green eyes blinked up at him from a face so pale it made him think of moonlight. Drenched, short black hair lay plastered to her head, the ends framing features reminiscent of the fairies his sister loved to draw.
Ethereal beauty. Want her to be my beauty.
She flinched and batted his hand away. “Stop,” she rasped before listing to her side, her body trembling.
With the cold or fear?
He desperately didn’t want her to be afraid. “Sorry. Please, let me help you. I’m Ross. You’re safe here. I promise.”

Three ghosts. One psychic. Zero patience for corporate greed. 
A hilarious, fast-paced romp through the supernatural underbelly of the Isle of Man!

Three Shades Called Horace
Witchery, Trickery, Love & Serendipity
by: Jinx James
Genre: Humorous Paranormal Thriller


Over on the ever-lovely Isle of Man, it’s turned out to be the most sensational evening. The Three Shades, Horace Flaccus, Horace Walpole and Horace Silver are already there, hovering in the twilight, when PP and Fenella finally arrive on Pansy’s motorbike. They’re late as usual, but The Three Shades don’t seem to mind. After all, they do have all the time in the world, don’t they?
The team is getting together at dusk, at an ancient place where they like to meet when the weather’s nice. It’s in the middle of the most beautiful circle of prehistoric standing stones on the island’s southwest. This mystical place is situated on a remote hillside, one side of which looks across to the mountains and the other down towards the sea.
Hearing the vroom of a hot, racing motorbike heading up the hill towards them, the three ghosts turn their heads expectantly. Pansy, aka PP, parks behind the largest of the enormous stones.
She appears first, walking briskly towards the Three Shades, unbuckling, lifting her helmet off and shaking out her hair. Behind her, Fenella, her older, White witch partner, picks her way over the rough ground.
‘We just have to tell all you Horaces straight away!’ says Pansy, getting excited now. ‘Barrett says the ratings for the last show were amazing!’ she gushes, adding, ‘he even told us they were “Earth-shattering!” she grins.
‘Er, would it be possible for you to explain to us what exactly that means, Ma’am?’ asks the ever-polite Walpole.

‘What it means, gentlemen,’ says PP, grinning, ‘is that not only are we already getting a huge worldwide audience, but it’s growing bigger and bigger with every show!’
‘And after the last one,’ Fenella butts in excitedly, ‘we’ve had so many people trying to sign up that Barrett has been overwhelmed. His computers and the social media department can’t cope. He’s having to put on more people every day to handle it!’
‘Yes, but, um, what precisely does all of this mean, Ms Pansy?’ asks Flaccus.
‘Look, I’m sure we explained it to you before, Horace. Don’t you remember? The viewers of our Supermoon show all over the world are also a part of the show, right? They’re active participants with their “Cozmics”, says Pansy.
‘Well, yes, my dear, you certainly did,’ said Flaccus, with that lovely smile of his. ‘But I’m afraid that was the part I could never quite understand,’ confesses the Roman Horace. ‘I’m so sorry,’ he adds, looking seriously embarrassed now.
‘Not to worry at all, Horace,’ says Pansy gently. Flaccus has always been her favourite, even though she always enjoys teasing him.
‘Did you know that on the next show,’ she says, ‘the Supermoon is going to be the closest it’s been to the Earth for sixty-nine years! Yes! And that means that if we can add the viewers’ Cozmics together with all of that extra Moon energy,’ she tells them excitedly, making a fingers-crossed sign.
At that point, Pansy pauses, grins, and says, ‘Well, just try to imagine the power involved!’
‘The technical guys even think we might have enough energy,’ says Fenella, ‘to maybe bring you back in full colour… and all of you at the same time!’
‘All of us in colour…  and at the same time?’ says Horace Walpole, getting really excited himself now.
‘Are you sure?’ says Horace Silver, ‘In full colour?’
‘Absolutely!’ says the by-now almost gushing Fenella! ‘Bye-bye to all that fuzzy black and white stuff, eh?’ 
They can all feel the excitement rippling the air between them. The psychic, the witch, and the three Horaces gathered in the magic circle of prehistoric standing stones.
‘It’s called “collective mental focus”,’ says PP. ‘And that means that if it all works out, you three guys will materialise as psychic energy through me!’
‘And that’d be sooo cool, baby! Right?’ smiles jazzman Horace Silver.
Fenella grins again and nods; ‘But, how about this? If we can get enough Cozmics from the global audience, all three of you Shades may even seem to fully come back to life for a while!’ 
This time, all three of them just stand there, totally gobsmacked! 
‘Now, nobody is certain exactly what will happen,’ says Fel, ‘but whaddya reckon, gentlemen? Let’s give it a go, eh?’ she gushes.
By now, they’re all totally in love with the idea… and it shows.
‘I’m afraid I still don’t quite understand it,’ Flaccus says to her, almost flapping his toga with excitement, ‘but wouldn’t it be wonderful if it did actually happen? Especially for me after two thousand years in the shade!’
‘Hey, you could even really “Seize the day!” says Pansy!

"delightfully twisted...offbeat supernatural romp" Amazon Review ★★★★★

"A unique and hilarious story with a lot of twists and awesome revenge. I loved the ending!" Amazon Review ★★★★★


BLURB:

They have the magic, the visions, and the afterlife on their side. But will it be enough to stop an ROI Reaper of the airwaves from hostilely taking over their dream?
Their "Super Moon Show" is the viral hit of the year. Too bad the stars are all dead.

Pansy Peonie is a psychic with a problem. Actually, three problems, and they’re all called Horace. As the host of the world’s craziest paranormal livestream, she spends her nights herding her team of opinionated ghosts and her days trying to keep her witch mother from accidentally summoning something worse.
But when you’re the top-rated supernatural show on the internet, you don't just attract spirits—you attract sharks.
Enter Rollo Mansell: a ruthless media mogul who doesn't care about the afterlife unless he can monetise it. He wants the show. He wants the ghosts. And he’s not above using a little corporate necromancy to get what he wants.
Now, Pansy is caught in a high-stakes tug-of-war between the living and the dead. To save her show—and her skin—she’ll have to outmanoeuvre a billionaire, survive a voodoo conspiracy, and figure out if Rollo’s assistant, Max, is actually on her side.

Featuring a new cover and a tighter, more suspenseful edit, this revised edition of Three Shades Called Horace will keep you on the edge of your seat, while laughing uncontrollably.
If you love fast-paced paranormal suspense with sharp wit, mysterious secrets, and un
forgettable characters, dive into the newly polished edition of Three Shades Called Horace.

The Royal Archives: Ninth Edition

Hello everyone!

I have some great news before we go into our archives for the Fae Chronicles! I have officially finished the rough draft of Closer, my Halloween novel. I meant to only write about 30 chapters, but have ended up with 64, so more than double! NOW, I am going through to fill in what needs to be filled, and edit what needs to be edited. ;) My husband, Elliott T. Campbell, is working on some artwork for the book now as well, and I hope to have a cover reveal very soon! :)

Now, lets learn about Underworld customs!

****


The Royal Archives

Edition IX: Fae Customs — A Traveler's Guide

“There are customs in the Underworld that exist for the protection of our guests. There are others that exist for the protection of our hosts. Learn the difference before you accept an invitation.”
— Royal Archivist Maeve, Notes for Visiting Scholars

There are rules in the Underworld.
Some are written.
Some are spoken.
And some, unfortunately, are learned only after someone has made the mistake of breaking them.
Humans often assume that Fae customs are strange because they are unfamiliar.
This is only partly true.
The Fae have customs surrounding nearly everything: introductions, names, gifts, hospitality, celebrations, mourning, and even the simple act of accepting a seat.
Travelers are therefore advised to observe carefully.

On Names

A name is not merely a word.
Do not offer your full name to a Fae unless you understand why they are asking for it.
Likewise, do not assume that a Fae giving you their name means they have offered you the whole of it.
There are names for family.
Names for friends.
Names for strangers.
And names that are never spoken outside the oldest circles of the kingdom.
If someone tells you that a name is private, believe them.
And if someone asks, “What shall I call you?”
You may wish to think before answering.

On Gifts

A gift freely given is one thing.
A gift offered with expectation is another.
Never assume the two are the same.
If a Fae offers you something, ask what it is.
Ask why it is being offered.
And perhaps most importantly...
Ask what happens when you accept it.
The Fae are not obligated to explain.
You are obligated to be careful.

On Food

This rule is simple.
It is also one of the most frequently ignored.
Humans must never eat food offered to them by the Fae.
Not at a royal feast.
Not at a village gathering.
Not from the hands of a stranger.
Not even if it smells wonderful.
Especially if it smells wonderful.
The reasons vary depending upon whom you ask.
Some Fae will tell you that human bodies were never meant to consume food from the Underworld.
Others will offer considerably more entertaining explanations.
The Royal Archives will simply say this:
Do not eat it.
There are tales of humans who accepted food during celebrations and never returned home.
Some danced until they could dance no longer.
Some disappeared.
Some remained in the Underworld.
And some...
Well.
The Archives contain paintings.
We shall leave it there.

On Banquets

A Fae banquet is a spectacle.
Music fills the hall.
Creatures from distant realms gather beneath one roof.
Humans may be invited to dance.
They may be welcomed as honored guests.
They may even be encouraged to join the celebration.
Enjoy the music.
Enjoy the dancing.
Admire the decorations.
Do not eat.
If you notice paintings hanging throughout the hall, observe them from a respectful distance.
Some depict heroes.
Some depict kings and queens.
Some depict moments from the long history of the Underworld.
And some depict humans whose crimes were never punished in their own world.
The Fae have their own understanding of justice.
It does not always resemble ours.
Nor does every Fae agree upon what justice should look like.
This distinction is worth remembering.
There are those who believe every punishment is deserved.
There are those who believe justice should be left to the courts.
And there are those who simply wonder what would happen if a human were foolish enough to accept the wrong offering.
These individuals are best avoided.

On Hospitality

Once a Fae has formally welcomed you into their home, you are considered a guest.
Guests are protected.
Guests are fed.
Guests are expected to behave with respect.
However, being offered hospitality does not mean you should accept everything placed before you.
A polite refusal may save your life.
This is particularly true where food is concerned.

On Compliments

Compliments are appreciated throughout the Underworld.
However, travelers are reminded that beauty is not always something that should be commented upon.
Do not compliment a Fae on something you do not understand.
Do not ask why someone looks different from another Fae.
And under no circumstances should you tell a member of the royal court that they look “surprisingly human.”
The Archives have recorded the consequences of this particular mistake.
They were avoidable.

On the King's Tree

The King's Tree is a place of celebration, remembrance, and gathering.
It is also a place of respect.
Do not carve your name into its bark.
Do not break its branches.
Do not extinguish its lanterns.
And if you are invited to sit beneath its branches, accept only if you understand the meaning of the invitation.
The Tree has stood longer than many royal bloodlines.
It has witnessed promises, grief, celebrations, coronations, departures, and returns.
The Fae do not consider it merely a tree.
Neither should you.

And Finally...

The easiest way to offend a Fae is to assume that your intentions matter more than your actions.
You may not have meant to insult someone.
You may not have intended to accept a promise.
You may not have realized that a gift carried significance.
You may not have understood the rules.
The Underworld does not always care what you intended.
So listen carefully.
Watch closely.
Ask questions.
And when someone who has lived here far longer than you tells you:
“You probably shouldn't do that.”
For once...
Perhaps take their advice.

"Tempus Unbound," by: Janet & Chris Morris — Book Tour & Giveaway!

 Hello readers and friends. Today I am featuring a book tour for authors Janet & Chris Morris and their book "Tempus Unbound." Check out the sneak peek below and find out why you should purchase your copy of this dark epic fantasy adventure today. Happy reading everyone :).

This hero of legend will encounter a challenge he has never faced before . . . present-day New York City.

Tempus Unbound
Sacred Band Series Book 6
by: Janet & Chris Morris
Genre: Dark Epic Fantasy Adventure, Mythology

Not one of the hundred pillows in Chiara’s bedroom remained on her bed when the god finally had had enough of the woman who ruled here as Lemuria’s Evening Star. She lay belly down on marble tiles in a slick of oil and wine and surrounded by candles he was quenching, one by one, with his fingers.

His short sword gleamed from the midst of the mess, hair from her body and her head on its blade. He hadn’t done a protracted ritual for the god in a very long time, and Lemuria’s rites rang as ancient and primal as Enlil’s name.

Their tryst had included moments when fear glazed her round, brown eyes, and moments when he felt certain the god overestimated what Tempus’ human flesh could give and hers could accept.

Still, he’d never killed a woman unintentionally, and although she might hurt when passion fled, now she merely lazed, intoxicated, malleable, sated and unresisting in the middle of the floor.

Once he’d snuffed the last candle, she reached for a pillow and propped her chin upon it so she could watch him more easily.

The big bed might have been easier on her, but she and the god had done things by the book. Still on her belly with the pillow under her jaw, she said, “You’ll really go with Rath and Mano into their horrid world tomorrow?”

“You tell me.” He was hunting for his leathers among her pillows.

“Stay here. With me. We could recast the lot. You could be free of your god forever, here. Stay, and you’ll learn of pleasures you never dreamed . . .”

“I’m a fighter, a soldier, a simple mercenary who had the bad luck to fall in with an insatiable god. It’s been so long, I wouldn’t know how to do anything else.”

“You could be the first not to succumb to Lemuria’s legerdemain. Don’t cast a lot, and you’re safe here until you do. We have strife close at hand, should you crave excitement: all the strife of many lands. From here you can help all of humanity — ”

“You must have mistaken me for a politician or a would-be king. I’m not the one to chart any soul’s course. Not after what I did with mine.”

“What do you want, then?”

And Faun’s words came back to him: “Survival, that’s the thing.”


BLURB:

Is this the Lemuria of antiquity, or of times to come? Once you've ridden the storm clouds of heaven from the edge of time, anything is possible. Demonic hordes threaten to destroy the very fabric of time itself. The fate of all humanity rests on the shoulders of Tempus the Black, Favorite of the Storm God. But even this hero of legend will encounter a challenge he has never faced before . . . present-day New York City.
