Master of Dragons, by Angela Knight

Book 8 in the Mageverse series

The last time fairy princess Nineva Morrow engaged in magic, evil forces rendered her an orphan–isolated and incapable of trusting in anyone’s survival. But after years of hiding on Earth, she’ll use her powers once more–and attract more knights than she can handle.

If you had to emigrate from your current country, couldn’t live there anymore at all, where in the world would you choose to go?

Book of the Day: Scions: Resurrection, by Patrice Michelle

Scions: Resurrection, by Patrice Michelle

Everyone believed vampires were extinct.

Everyone was wrong.

When Ariel Swanson wrote a novel about vampires, she hoped it would exorcise her fear of the creatures that had, not so long ago, terrorized the human population.

Instead, it brought her to their attention.

And to the attention of Jachin Black-a man banished from the Sanguinas, a vampire clan, and forced to hunt among the despised humans. For he clung to the prophecy given years ago, of a better way for his kind to live. a prophecy Ariel unknowingly used as the basis of her novel.

Ariel hates and fears vampires. Jachin despises humanity. But the prophesy-and passion-bind them in ways they could never have imagined. Ways that may heal the past, and change the future.

Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please.

You are allowed to place three items from your lifetime into a box that will be opened in fifty years. What do you put in, and why?

The winner of yesterday’s book, What Happens in Vegas, is Becky! Congrats Becky. Please drop me a note via the contact form on my web site with your snail mail and I’ll send it on to you.

Book of the Day: The Chosen Sin, by Anya Bast

The Chosen Sin, by Anya Bast.

This book comes out officially on October 7th, but it’s already available to ship at B&N online.

In this sensuous and lust-filled otherworld, the Chosen are vampires fighting for their very existence.

It is Daria’s destiny to become one of them…

Daria Morris is a special forces agent with one obsession: to wreak vengeance on the brutal vampire who nearly destroyed her. Now she’s finally about to get her chance, on one condition. She must become something she detests: a vampire.

Her fate rests upon one man’s lethal bite. His name is Alejandro Martinez, and he can help her infiltrate a highly guarded group of the Chosen. But Alejandro is also a distraction for Daria. Because thirteen years ago, they shared a scorching night of passion neither has forgotten.

Now, while Daria struggles against her newfound bloodlust, the two must slip into the shadows to bring a monster to justice—even as their desire threatens to consume them. But under the cover of night, they’ll discover that it’s the darkness within that may stand in the way of their hunger for retribution…

“Vivid details and imaginative settings make the Chosen world intriguing… High-voltage action keeps things moving while the in-depth characters have you rooting for their success.” — Romantic Times BOOKreviews

“Anya Bast pulled another winner out of her pocket. If you are looking for a paranormal story that is just out of this world pick up THE CHOSEN SIN. You will get more than just the generic vampire story.” — Night Owl Romance Reviews

“This futuristic vampire tale is brilliant, unique and extremely erotic. Definitely a must-read.” — Fresh Fiction

Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please.


If you didn’t have to work, what would you do?

My answer: Ha. I’d write!
