Romance Studio Review: Adrienne

"...highly intense and truly entertaining. The emotions portrayed by not only the main characters but also the many secondary ones, are ones you can relate too... You will be hard pressed to put this book down even for a moment, as you will become so caught up in the magic, betrayals, danger and treachery that makes this book a definite keeper."

Author Interview: Misty Evans

The Basics

- Misty Evans
- Brand: Heart-stopping danger…undercover intrigue
- Genre(s): CIA thrillers, paranormal
- Publisher(s): Samhain Publishing

To Other Authors

- What are the three MOST important pieces of advice you would give to a brand new author?
  1. Write what you love. Be passionate about your characters and their stories so you can convey that to your readers.

  2. Read all the time. Jump genres, pick up unusual magazines, scan newspapers. You never know where a great plot idea or a cool phrase will pop up and inspire you.

  3. Find your own voice. There are many supposed rules in writing. By trying to follow all the rules, you'll lose your voice, which as a writer is your greatest strength! Look at the rules more as guidelines and use them to polish your voice, not smother it.
- What's your favorite way to advertise?
  • Blog interviews and contests!! I'm also looking at teaching online classes to help other writers.
- What hard-knock lesson did the publishing world teach you (can be your own experience or someone else's that you learned from)?
  • There is no logic to what will sell or when. You have to be true to the voice in your head and write what you love.
For the Readers

- What are you reading, if anything, at the moment?
  • I'm enjoying the stories by my fellow Tickle My Fantasy authors, as well as City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, What I Did For Love by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and Three's the Charm by Ellen Dye.
- Do you prefer ebooks or print for your reading pleasure?
  • I carry my Kindle everywhere and it's always loaded with new authors as well as tried and true. I do read print books as well, especially nonfiction ones when I'm researching my own stories.
- Name three of your all-time-favorite, read-them-over-and-over books.
  • Only three? Let's see… To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Out of Africa by Isac Denison, and SARK's Succulent Wild Woman.
Idle Curiosity Compels Me to Ask

- What inspired you to be a writer?
  • I won second place in a fourth-grade essay contest about my dad. The essay was published in my hometown paper, complete with my “byline”. Since I had two left feet and sucked at playing the piano, I was thrilled. I'd finally found something I was good at. LOL.
- What do you do immediately after finishing a manuscript?
  • Throw my hands in the air and cry, “halleluiah”. Not really. When I type The End, it's usually with a bit of relief and a bit of sadness. I fall in love with my characters during the writing process and hate to see their story come to an end. That's why I like writing series, and I keep writing short stories about my different characters for promotions. The Samhellion Valentine's free reads this month by me is a prequel to Witches Anonymous, my TMF story.
- Do you talk to your characters or your muse or both?
  • Mostly I just listen. My muse doesn't talk so much as show up at the door of my brain and dump a boatload of characters and images into it. My characters usually come fully formed and ready to go. They never stop talking long enough for me to talk back. LOL.

Witches Anonymous

Samhain Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-60504-397-5

A Tickle My Fantasy story.

Amy Atwood is a witch. Not the harm-none kind…the Satan-worshipping, devil-made-me-do-it kind. But after catching Lucifer in a particularly wicked hex act with her goodie-two-shoes Wiccan sister, Amy does what every self-respecting witch would do. She pops a Dove chocolate in her mouth, ends her affair with the devil, and swears an oath never to use magic again.

She wants to be normal. Human. Even if it means no more fun--and she's looking for a nice, normal guy to compliment her new lifestyle. And ice-cream-loving firefighter Adam Foster looks like perfect hero material.

Lucifer, however, isn't about to be nice about letting her go. Stalked by Satan, manipulated by the angel Gabriel--and surprised by Adam's true identity--Amy finds herself up to her black hat in trouble of Biblical proportions…

She's been paired with sexy covert ops team leader Lawson Vaughn, a man who lives and breathes protocol.

Methodical is Lawson's middle name. He specializes in high-risk search and rescue, not missions that involve tracking down terrorists. Especially while trying to keep the lid on a partner who has a problem with authority and skates by on wits and bravado.

Even before they get on the plane for Paris they're under each other's skin…and fighting a scorching sexual attraction. Drawn into an unauthorized game of vengeance, Lawson is forced to dance a tightrope in order to protect his partner from their quarry--a terrorist who's about to unleash a biological nightmare on the Muslim world. And Zara is the first target.

With her life, and that of millions of innocent people, on the line, Lawson must become the one thing he despises. A renegade.

And she never expected to be drawn to Gabe. After the loss of her husband in the line of duty, the last thing she wants is to fall in love with yet another man who routinely puts his life at risk.

Gabe has had enough of women who want to make him into someone he's not. Women like his ex, who couldn't handle the heat of his job. Like Peyton, who sees him as a hero when he's just a man doing a job. Except time after time, the pesky reporter proves her mettle. And gets deeper under his skin.

A Rough Riders book.

Goody-two boots AJ Foster has waited her entire life for her dream cowboy Cord McKay to see her as more than the neighbor girl in pigtails. Now that she's old enough to stake her claim on him, she's pulling out all the sexual stops and riding hell-bent for leather--straight for his libido.

Divorced rancher Cord has sworn off all women...until innocent AJ suggests he teach her how to ride bareback--and he realizes she doesn't mean horses or bulls. Between his responsibilities running his massive ranch, missing his young son and dealing with the sexual shenanigans of his brother and cousins, Cord is more than willing to take AJ up on her offer. On a trial basis.

The fun and games tie them both up in knots. AJ isn't willing to settle for less than the whole shootin' match with her western knight. But for Cord, even though the sexy cowgirl sets his blood ablaze, he's determined to resist her efforts to lasso his battered heart.

Sweet, determined AJ has the power to heal--or heel--the gruff cowboy...unless Cord's pride keeps him from admitting their relationship is more than a simple roll in the hay.

Ex-Marine Nick Shaffer knows Eve is trouble the second he lays eyes on her leather-clad body, but he's been hired to protect her. Nothing will get in his way. Not her sultry looks, his overactive hormones--or the nightmarish guilt from his last mission, in which an innocent man died.

As they get closer to the truth, the danger escalates, and so does the sexual tension. But the secrets they keep from each other could be just as deadly as the killer they hunt.

The man she wants is the one she must deceive.
Seattle Steam, Book 2

Christy Wallace may be a respectable Seattle Spanish teacher, but she's got a sultry side. She lets it come out to play during the summer, when she moonlights as a Salsa dancing instructor.

Sexy, cowboy Adam wants more time with her than just a fleeting cup of coffee, but she makes it clear that if he wants her, he'll have to sign up for dance class. Amazingly enough, he does. And Christy finds herself falling for a charming country hick with hands as fast as his feet.

Adam's no hick, though. He's the owner of Adam's Apples, the fastest-growing cider business in eastern Washington. To his own surprise, one night with her has him thinking in terms of forever. That is, until he walks into a restaurant for a family lunch--and finds Christy on the arm of his brother.

Is there a logical explanation? Or is something rotten in Seattle?

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, dirty mechanical bull riding, and the violation of blueberries.

Klingons need love too.
Vegas Ventures, Book 1

bortaS nlvqu' `oH bortaS'e'!

Bianca Kirkland comes to Las Vegas for a little R&R of the seriously sexy sort. But you know what they say about best-laid plans...

Spurred on by her best pal Gertie, she puts her move on the sculpted hunk o' stud at the end of the bar. Little does she know, they've met before.

Chief of Security Colby James remembers all too well the bombshell who's hitting on him. The way she dissed his younger, less-studly self left him seriously Bianca-burned. Now, he's determined to get even.

Fiasco after fiasco plagues Bianca's perfect vacation. First Gertie gets food poisoning. Then Bianca is forced to become a Klingon--and officiate (naked) at a Betazoid wedding. Just when it can't get any worse, she's named Commander of her very own Starfleet vessel.

And she discovers she's falling in love.

This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release.

She has to decide if she's a hero...or just a killer after all.
Infinity: Prime, Book 1

Morrigan, immortal assassin and notorious party girl, is itching for a challenge to test her skills and the powers of her new agency--anything that'll get her mind off Byron. Her interest in the young vampire goes a lot farther than professional regard, and she pulled every string she could reach to get him on her team. Thanks to his annoying code of ethics, though, he spurns her advances at every turn.

Bryon's ideals won't let him do anything the easy way, something in which Morrigan specializes. Where she's concerned, fascination wars with suspicion and, generally, suspicion wins. He can trust her to do her job in the most ruthless way imaginable. Trust her with his heart and soul? Not going to happen.

Now Morrigan's got what she wanted, the most challenging mission she's ever undertaken. A war between human and superhuman factions has destroyed one of the variant Earths, and ArchAngel is sending her and a team back in time to change the outcome.

But to succeed, she'll have to make the greatest moral choice of her life--do the job as she knows must be done, or risk the outcome to finally gain Bryon's trust and acceptance.

It's not the first time Morrigan's ridden the edge of the knife. But this time one slip could cost everything that truly matters to her.

Warning--this title contains violence, adult language, ethical and moral dilemmas.

Love can bloom where nothing else survives...
Wildlife photographer Chase Calder is no stranger to wandering in wilderness areas like the stark Nevada desert. When a freak electrical storm leaves him strangely disoriented, and he awakens as a prisoner in a high-security Air Force base under the scrutiny of a seductive microbiologist, he knows he's in dangerous territory.

Undercover Special Ops agent Martina Sanchez finally has the proof she needs to expose the Acheron beam for the danger it is. Not a harmless bio-decontaminate, but a potentially deadly super-weapon. She's also discovered exposure to the beam has more than one unexpected side effect for Chase whose sizzling touch melts her cool, professional resolve.

It also melts steel walls.

Martina risks everything to free Chase before he becomes the next casualty of unauthorized scientific testing. Together they flee to safety, but safe becomes a relative term when their growing passion finally ignites...

A murder... A lord's desire...and her quiet, respectable life is gone forever.
Secrets Trilogy, Book 3

Arabella Mason is too busy investigating her brother-in-law's "accidental" death to entertain thoughts of love. She'll go to any lengths to ease her sister's grief, even accept the help of the distressingly attractive Viscount Bredon, Peter Worsley. Instead of answers, the trail of clues only leads to more questions. Who was her brother-in-law, really...and why does Peter, who poses as her brother in public, make mincemeat of her resistance in private?

A successful politician and confirmed bachelor, Peter has bedded the loveliest women in society. He never imagined he'd wind up in a Leicester backwater, helping a pretty widow investigate his brother's untimely death. As his suspicions of foul play grow stronger, the danger rises--and so does his desire for Arabella. One kiss, and she snatches away all his resolve, leaving him wondering which he wants more...

To find his brother's killer? Or keep Arabella safe--and make her his?

Warning: Irresistible seduction makes this book a steamy read. Keep a man handy for emergencies.

Can a bad witch go good in thirteen steps? Not if Lucifer has his way with her!
A Tickle My Fantasy story.

Amy Atwood is a witch. Not the harm-none kind...the Satan-worshipping, devil-made-me-do-it kind. But after catching Lucifer in a particularly wicked hex act with her goodie-two-shoes Wiccan sister, Amy does what every self-respecting witch would do. She pops a Dove chocolate in her mouth, ends her affair with the devil, and swears an oath never to use magic again.

She wants to be normal. Human. Even if it means no more fun--and she's looking for a nice, normal guy to complement her new lifestyle. And ice-cream-loving firefighter Adam Foster looks like perfect hero material.

Lucifer, however, isn't about to be nice about letting her go. Stalked by Satan, manipulated by the angel Gabriel--and surprised by Adam's true identity--Amy finds herself up to her black hat in trouble of Biblical proportions...

Warning: Welcome to temptation. Sexy Lucifer is going to enchant you. The original Adam is going to charm you. And the angel Gabriel is going to scare your socks off!

Love is the wiliest thief of all.
A Tale of Ithian

Malachy and his sister rely on his talents as a thief to survive the dangerous streets of Klathport, former capital of the once-great kingdom of Ithian. Stealing a few papers should have been a simple job. Instead, it nearly costs their lives and throws them into an improbable alliance with a shape-shifting official, a desert tribeswoman, and a healer of enchanting beauty.

Cerys is far more than a simple healer--and the roots of her mission go deeper into the past than anyone can know. She needs Malachy's skills to recover a stolen scroll, one that can be used to rewrite history and, in the wrong hands, release the dark powers of the Demon Realm.

Her mission was supposed to atone for a dreadful, long-ago act. Instead, it unleashes a chain of events which sees them pursued through city and desert by the fearsome Dune Witch and a killer known only as His Lordship. Romance, tragedy, and adventure blend in a tale of a magical land on the brink of war, and five unlikely allies who, by putting their lives--and their hearts--on the line, have the opportunity to finally set things right.

But at a terrible cost.

Warning: Contains scenes of graphic violence and torture, captivating magic and beauty, two dashing heroes, three gutsy heroines, several love stories and a heartbreaking sacrifice.

The best laid plans can come back to bite you in the ass...
Spellbound, Book 3

Government Operative Gideon Bishop thrives on high-risk situations, but even his most volatile mission is nothing compared to coming face-to-face with his past. He's spent the last four years trying to forget Tate Calder and their scorching affair, but the only way to get the information he needs is to keep her close--and keep his hands off her. Because the only thing riskier than protecting a woman who insists on hiding the truth, is giving in to the attraction that still crackles between them.

All Tate wants is a quiet holiday with zero interruptions from her family, and even fewer from the witch's council bent on recruiting her. Instead, she finds herself on the run from lethal mercenaries and the police with the one man she never expected to see again. To protect her family's secrets, she'll do whatever it takes to keep Gideon from learning the truth.

Even if it means risking her heart to seduce him--over and over again.

Warning: Adult language, skin-tingling forced intimacy, late-night office seductions, hot explicit sex between reunited lovers and graphic violence perpetrated by mercenaries, spies and occasionally by magic.

Author Interview: Vivi Andrews

The Basics

- Vivi Andrews
- Genre(s): Humorous Paranormal Romance
- Publisher(s): Samhain Publishing

To Other Authors

- What are the three MOST important pieces of advice you would give to a brand new author?
  • Keep writing. 2) Keep writing. 3) Keep writing. And after you’ve done that, keep submitting. Never give up on yourself. You can do it!
- What's your favorite way to advertise?
  • My blog – because I can be cheap, lazy and narcissistic and still call it “promo.”
- What hard-knock lesson did the publishing world teach you (can be your own experience or someone else's that you learned from)?
  • I’m still learning more every day about this publishing biz. Overall my lessons have been very positive, but I have learned to be careful who I share my work with in the early stages of a book. I persevere in believing the most hurtful criticisms came with the best intentions, but they can still set you back, setting up mental roadblocks when you need your creative highways cleared of all obstacles and doubts.

For the Readers

- What are you reading, if anything, at the moment?
  • I recently discovered Kresley Cole. She is my latest addiction. I’m tearing through all of her books I can get my hands on.
- Do you prefer ebooks or print for your reading pleasure?
  • I’m a paperback slut. I can’t get enough of turning those pages.
- Name three of your all-time-favorite, read-them-over-and-over books.
  • Only three? Well, if I have to choose… Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein & Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos. I can crawl inside those books and stay for days on end.
Idle Curiosity Compels Me to Ask

- What inspired you to be a writer?

  • I started making up stories for my Playmobile toys to act out when I was still in grade school. I would jot down character descriptions on notepads. From there, the progression toward a writing career was inevitable.
- What do you do immediately after finishing a manuscript?
  • I dance around my living room. My neighbors think I’m crazy, but that moment of delirious celebration is absolutely crucial to my process.
- Do you talk to your characters or your muse or both?
  • I don’t talk to my muse – I don’t really think of my muse as a person. But I do talk to myself, taking on both halves of a conversation, testing out dialogue, or sometimes verbally rehearsing narrative. I do this most often when driving. I must say I’m delighted by the proliferation of hands-free devices. Fewer of my fellow drivers look at me like I’m crazy as I drive around town chatting with myself. (Renee Note: On this I must agree. The crazy-writer-rants don't seem so crazy with the onset of Bluetooth. :D)

The Ghost Shrink, the Accidental Gigolo, & the Poltergeist Accountant
Samhain Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-60504-391-3
(debut novella)

It’s not smart to piss off a poltergeist…

It’s bad enough to be sexually frustrated. But as a medium, it means until Lucy Cartwright gets some, she’s doomed. Oh no, not to death. Worse. To nightly visitations by recently deceased, wanna-be Cassanovas without the bodies to back it up. Then a living, breathing fantasy arrives on her doorstep, and Lucy thinks her dry spell is at an end.

Much as he would like to be Lucy’s personal gigolo, PI Jake Cox has a job to do. He’s been sent to prevent her from getting laid until a particular horny phantom—and key witness in his mob investigation—pays her a visit. The real challenge? Keeping his own hands off Lucy long enough to get the job done.

Or the lonely, geeky ghost of a murdered mob accountant could rip a hole in the fabric of the universe…

Warning: This book contains cheesy pick-up lines, amateur stripteases, and voyeuristic intentions – all by dead men. And the living behave just as badly…

Her destiny rests in their hands...

Kiran Tate and Logan Saeter have been on the run from Oliver Grimm for so long they've forgotten what it's like to be free. Ending Grimm's power games won't be easy, but this time they have an ace in the hole. PI Jordan Grey, Guardian Investigation's resident hot shot--and Grimm's step-granddaughter.

Jordan Grey has her doubts when Logan and Kir show up in her office with a tall tale of how her step-grandfather has framed them for murder. And to top it all off, they're claiming that they're really the ancient Norse gods Loki and Baldur, and that Grimm is Odin!

When the two lovers see the sexy detective for the first time, stopping Grimm suddenly takes a back seat to seducing her into their arms. But Grimm never rests, and when his anger spills over onto Jordan, it sets them all on a collision course with a destiny that will rock their world...

Warning: This book contains explicit sex, graphic language, some violence, and hot male/male/female action. In fact, it could be considered a religious experience.

Mafia hit man. Vampire. The criminal underworld just got a whole lot darker.

The Nightfall Syndicate, Book 1

Business has never been better for hit man Karl Vance. Boston is awash in mafia blood, and Vance has a certain fondness for blood. He's a master vampire--one of the most powerful of his kind. Having sworn to never again feed on the blood of innocents, Karl preys instead on Boston's criminal underworld. Which makes him a valuable asset to those who deal in death.

Maria Ricardi intends to use that asset to its full extent in order to gain power within her patriarchal crime family. Vance thinks he's been hired to keep track of the family's princess, but she's got a plan to get her hands dirty and earn the respect she deserves. And she's not above using their instant attraction to get what she wants.

That driving ambition draws the attention of a rival clan's newest and most dangerous "consultant." Alejandro Delgado, Vance's centuries-old nemesis. Delgado zeroes in on the one chink in Vance's armor--his fondness for the headstrong Maria.

When she becomes enslaved by Delgado's unnatural kiss, only one thing is certain. Vance has to decide which he wants more. To settle the score--or rescue her soul.

Warning: Intense, graphic mafia-related violence, profanity, gangster slang, assassinations, fang punctures, explicit vampire sex, betrayal, greed, murder, gangland warfare, pervasive supernatural mayhem, large-scale explosions, and extremely expensive Italian suits.

Their fiery love could overpower the enemy...or destroy them both.

Black Phoenix, Book 1

Once the self-indulgent, hedonistic heir to the Phoenician throne, Prince Talen Jacek has lived a cursed existence for over two thousand years, sacrificing his life so that strangers may live. Suffering one violent death after another, though, is nothing compared to the soul-eating agony of the emotional isolation he endures. Until he sets his eyes on the enemy's next victim.

Every morning, computer programmer Keri Maddox gets up, goes through her daily grind, and returns home to a frozen meal and a book before bed. Her life may not be filled with glamour or excitement, but predictability is her mantra. Then she discovers Talen in her apartment wearing only a towel--and suddenly her safe and tidy world is yanked from under her feet.

An inferno of carnal need erupts between them, hotter than the phoenix's fire. Yet the power of their igniting love may not be enough to save Keri from a killer who's determined to deliver the inevitable death stroke.

Warning: Contains a sexy, dominant man with a fierce body, a hot tattoo and an unconventional use for scarves...and many scrumptious scenes displaying his finer assets (and skills). Sex. Explicit sex. More sex. Hot sex with light bondage. And did I mention the tattoo?
