EXCERPT

Are you feeling warm yet?”

I watch his lips as he speaks
the words, husky and low. His lips are
full, yet manly and suddenly I ache to lean over and press mine to his, to
touch them in any way that I can.

But I don’t.

Because I’m not a girl who gets
used. Not anymore.

“No, not at all.”

But Dominic takes that as a
challenge. He’s not used to hearing the
word no and he’s not about to start now.
I see that in his dark eyes a scant moment before he dips his head and
consumes my mouth.

I say consume, instead of kiss,
because that’s what he does.

He consumes me.

His lips are fiery and hot and
he kisses me with a fierceness that touches a secret part of me; moist, hot,
firm, sexy. I want to inhale him, to
suck him down. I vaguely feel his hands
on my back, his warmth emanating through my clothes, his hardness pushing into
my softness.

I’m breathless when he pulls
away.

“What about now?”

For the life of me, I’m afraid
to answer that. Instead, I pull away,
just a bit, just enough that there is some space between us, but I can still
absorb his warmth. As my teeth chatter,
both from the cold and from the suddden absence of his lips, I answer.

“I’m good.”

He laughs, a husky, low, naughty sound.

“Oh, I’m sure of that.”

And just like that, I’m drawn
back in… in toward his sexy smile, his arrogant gaze and his knowing
smirk. He’s bad for me. Very bad for me. I’ve got to remember that.

He
will decimate you,
I tell myself.

But my problem is, every
time I look into his dark eyes and see the mysterious things that lurk there, I
forget that. I forget everything that
is supposed to matter.

ABOUT BEFORE WE FALL (Book 3 in the Beautifully Broken Series):

Sometimes, one dark moment is all it takes to turn your world black…For 24-year old Dominic Kinkaide, that moment took place on the night of his
high school graduation. One dark incident changed him forever. He’s a hardened

care about much of anything, except for losing himself in the roles that he
plays.23-year old Jacey Vincent doesn’t realize how much her father’s indifference
has affected her. She is proof that sometimes it isn’t one specific moment that
wrecks a person, but rather it’s an absence of moments. She’s like a bird with
a broken wing-strong yet fragile, as she tries to float through life, finding
acceptance in the arms of random guys, one after the other… to fill the void
that her father left in her.Until she meets Dominic.After jaded Dominic and strong-willed Jacey are thrown together, his secret and
her issues create a dark and damaged energy that will soon turn their
attraction to each other into an explosive storm.Even though when the clouds have cleared and the dust has settled, both of them
are almost obliterated… they’ve learned a priceless lesson.Sometimes, before we fall… we fly.

Come Little Children by D Melhoff – Giveaway Tour

Posted on December 2, 2013 by fundinmental

This is so creepy, I had to share it with you.

Bad things happening to children strike at our hearts.

BLURB

The Nolan morgue is more than just an ordinary funeral home. When their newest employee uncovers a supernatural conspiracy connected to a string of child murders, she must use every shred of her intelligence to stop a new breed of serial killer and escape the morgue alive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT

The old hands worked carefully with the added confidence of having done this hundreds of times. Their maneuvers were quick and precise. Fluid. Surgical.

A scalpel touched a point between the nipples on the cadaver’s chest and drifted north, unzipping the skin exactly seven inches along the sternum. Shadows played out the rest on the concrete walls: the worker selected a heavier device and hovered over the outline of the body, flicking a switch and activating a high, screeching vibration that trailed through the air and disappeared into the silhouette’s chest.

Instantly the hum dropped an octave—ggvvrrrrr, ck-ck, ggvvrrrrr—choking and sputtering as it coughed up particles of bone dust.

Ggvvrrrrr! CK-CK! Ggvvrrrr!

The mist made a macabre Tyndall effect in the lamplight.

Beyond these specks, the worker turned off the electric saw and brought up a wooden box the size of a tea chest, then withdrew something from inside.

Something small.

Something odd.

It was too dark to see what the object was, but the worker handled it nimbly and lowered it into the body’s rib cage.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Giveaway for Sworn To Conflict by Terah Edun

Posted on December 1, 2013 by fundinmental

SWORN TO CONFLICT, the third book in Terah Edun’s young adult fantasy COURTLIGHT series, will be released this December 6! Not familiar with the series? Check all three books in here and get a chance to win awesome prizes!

Title: Sworn to Conflict (Courtlight #3)

Author: Terah Edun

Date of Publication: December 6, 2013

Ciardis Weathervane fought for the living dead and won. But worse than taking on a mass murderer, was her discovery that she had been deceived by her friends. Now she needs to not only fight a war in the North and survive, but also decide where she stands in the midst of competing sides.

A threat to all she holds dear lies in the North and her heart is not the only thing she might lose. A massive army awaits in the mountain pass, surging closer to the gates of the southern lands. Nothing the Algardis army has done so far has dissuaded their march forward and Ciardis finds out that her powers to enhance are needed now more than ever.

As she faces her greatest fears on the battlefields and her heart is torn between her love of Sebastian and loyalty to her family, Ciardis must choose her fate carefully. For in her path, lies the destiny of the empire.

This third novel continues the story of Ciardis Weathervane from Sworn To Transfer.

For those new with the series (you can catch up now!), here are the blurbs for the first two books.

Title: Sworn to Raise (Courtlight #1)

Author: Terah Edun

Date of Publication: April 10, 2013

Seventeen-year-old Ciardis has grown up in poverty, a cleaner in a small vale on the outskirts of the empire. But beneath her empire’s seemingly idyllic surface lies a hidden secret. Whispers of an inept crown Prince are growing ever louder—intensified by the five year anniversary of the soulbond initiations.

Amidst scandalous whispers, Ciardis finds herself chosen to train for the Companion’s Guild. She leaves her home and sets off on a personal journey to become a Court Companion. A position she’d never thought possible for a lowly servant to obtain, she must prove that she has the skills to attract a Patron.

But she must master those skills quickly. If the legends are true, only Ciardis can harness the power to raise a Prince in an Imperial Court sworn to bring him down.

This sensational series debut melds intricate storylines with remarkable characters and unforgettable magic. Sworn To Raise is ideal for fans of Kristin Cashore, Michelle Sagara, and Maria Snyder.

Title: Sworn to Transfer (Courtlight #2)

Author: Terah Edun

Date of Publication: September 17, 2013

Eighteen-year-old companion trainee Ciardis Weathervane has won the friendship of the royal heir and saved his claim to the throne. Yet her interference in the inheritance rights leaves more harm done than good. The Ameles Forest lies unprotected and its inhabitants are dying.

As humans begin to die in gruesome deaths, the Emperor dispatches the royal heir to the forests with the solution to the kith concerns.

With enemies closing ranks in Sandrin, Ciardis can little afford to leave the city’s nest of vipers to take on a new task. But she’s given no choice when her loyalty to the crown and courts are called into question.

To keep the Companions’ Guild happy and the favor of the Imperial Court, Ciardis will be tested in frightening new ways, especially when she’s faced with an obstacle that could risk the lives of her friends and the family she never thought she had.

This second novel continues the story of Ciardis Weathervane from Sworn To Raise.

My Adventures – The Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway

Posted on November 26, 2013 by fundinmental

I can hear the rumble of their engines

I can feel the vibrations flowing through the air and into my body.

My blood is rushing through my veins.

My heart is pounding with excitement.

Snowball Derby season has arrived.

I live close to Five Flags Speedway, so it is not unusual to hear the roar of the engines as drivers hit the pavement to practice every chance they can.

I always look forward to this premier event, The Snowball Derby.

It falls on December 4 – 8, 2013, but there is plenty of pre-race excitement.

The first week of December, the annual 300 mile super late model stock car race is held at Pensacola’s Five Flags Speedway, and has been since 1968.

It is known for attracting some high profile drivers. A few of the past winners are Kyle Bush, Darryl Waltrip, Dick Trickle, Steve Wallace, Chase Elliot and Pensacola’s very own Joanna Long.

It was a little breezy and chilly, 60 degrees.

Now, just wait a minute. Don’t get your panties in an uproar. I know some of you are wearing down coats and waterproof boots, battling through the wind and snow.

For me, if there is a breeze, if the sun isn’t shining on me and it’s under 75 degrees, I get chilly. I know I am a wuss, that’s why I live in Florida.

I want 80+ every day – shorts, t-shirt and flip-flop weather.

Soooooo, if you are ever in Pensacola during the first week of December, stop in to Five Flags Speedway for The Snowball Derby.

Book Blast Giveaway for the Crossroads Saga by Mary Ting

Posted on November 25, 2013 by fundinmental

The Crossroads Saga

Crossroads (Book 1)

Can two worlds collide in dreams?
Crossroads, Between, Beyond, Eternity, Halo City-novella

Protecting her from the fallen was his duty.
Falling in love was never part of his plan.
Loving her was forbidden.
Being with her was all that mattered, even if it meant he would be exiled for all eternity.

Claudia Emerson’s life is about to change when her good friend, who coincidentally shares the same first and last name, dies in a tragic accident after the homecoming dance. Distraught at the loss of her friend, Claudia’s dreams become tumultuous, and through them she mysteriously travels to another world called Crossroads. Unknown to her, Crossroads is like a second heaven, a place between heaven and earth, where the souls of humans in comas or near death experiences may wander. There, she unexpectedly meets Michael, a nephilim–half angel, half human. It turns out that this isn’t her first visit, which is an enigma, for she has no recollection of being there, and is told that no human has crossed over…until Claudia. Now that she’s been there, fallen and demons are after her, suspecting she must be special, and it is up to Michael and the other nephilim to protect her. Her dream becomes a nightmare as more secrets are revealed about who she really is, and the true identities of the people she loves most. The situation becomes even more complicated when she is unable to hinder her feelings for her swoon-worthy guardian angel. Can Michael fight his growing feelings for Claudia and protect her as a guardian angel should, or will he be too blinded by human emotions and the struggles of being who he is?

Praise for Crossroads

“Crossroads contains action, twists and romance that has you flipping through the pages so fast that you’re at the end and ready for more before you know it.” ~Gabby, Nashville Young Adult Fiction Examiner/What’s Beyond Forks

“Watch out Edward Cullen! The angel Michael has officially given you a run for your money! Teens everywhere will add a new fictional boyfriend to their ever growing lists! OMWings! An amazing paranormal angel romance that stays with you long after the last page has turned. I need more!” ~Jennifer Howell with LateBloomerOnline.com

“Crossroads by Mary Ting has it all: danger, romance, suspense, incredible characters and an original plot that is sure to thrill. The action never stops as good and evil battle to the death. This well written and fascinating love story will keep readers entranced.” ~ReadersFavorite.com

TEASER

Though Phillip had already told me that I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between an alkin and a fallen, it was confirmed as I watched the battle. They looked just like the alkins as the two sides battled with swords. Watching, I noticed that Michael had one too, but where had it come from?
“No!” Michael shouted, suddenly standing directly in front of me. “You don’t need her. She’s just a human.”
“Get them!” Aden shouted again.
During the entire fight Michael stayed by my side, protecting me. They fought so swiftly that even with my flashlight it was hard to distinguish alkins from the fallen. I focused intently, trying to figure out who was who, but it was no use. They were too fast for human eyes. I pointed the flashlight, hoping to blind or distract them, but that also proved to be pointless. It was only useful for my vision.
In the blink of an eye they were here, there and everywhere. The clanging of swords colliding was painful to hear. As the screeching sounds continued, all I could see were sparks as the swords made contact, as if we were in the middle of a lightning storm. Fearful of any alkin getting hurt, I covered my ears, hoping that it would end soon.
Suddenly, Aden raised his hand toward the stars, and the fallen stopped. The sounds of the swords crashing against each other came to a dead halt. Aden started circling around Michael and me. As he drew closer, I could see that he looked exactly as I remembered him from my dream. The wrinkles on his forehead defined his age, and though I conceived him as evil, his voice scared me more than his appearance. Aden never lifted a finger to fight; instead, he relied on the fallen to carry out his battle strategies.
“Michael, come with me. I’ll give you anything you want.”
“There is nothing I want from you.”
“They’ve turned you against me. I should have killed you when I had the chance.” Aden’s eyes raged with anger.
“They didn’t turn me against you. I did it of my own free will.”
“Move out of my way!” Aden shouted.
“You’ll have to go through me first!”
As Aden continued to circle around us, I could sense movement from the fallen, edging closer to Michael and me. The alkin must have sensed it too as they positioned themselves right behind us and immediately began to attack the fallen.
Michael moved me to the left and then to the right, fighting while shielding me. Though the fallen were fewer in number than before, they were retaliating in full force. In the midst of all the chaos, I lost my grip on the flashlight, and it tumbled off the cliff. Instinctively I reached for it, and in that split second someone or something collided against me, and I plummeted off the cliff.
Gravity was pulling me faster than my body could resist. I’d always heard that at the moment of death, one’s life flashed before their eyes; all the moments that had brought them to that point, big or small. All I could think of was death itself and the one person who had changed my life forever—Michael.

Author Mary Ting
Bestselling/award-winning author Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke?

YA Series Insiders Launch Giveaway

From Jennifer L. Armentrout:

Signed Soul Screamers Omnibus Volumes 1, 2, and 3 by Rachel Vincent plus a stone gargoyle.

Jennifer says:

Soul Screamers is not only one of my favorite YA series of all time, I think I might have a tiny girl crush on Rachel Vincent. Okay. I might have a big author girl crush on her, but who doesn’t? She brings the action, the nonstop intrigue and swoon-worthy romance, and I like to think WHITE HOT KISS, the first book in the DARK ELEMENT Series does too. I’m giving away signed Soul Screamers omnibus Volumes 1, 2, and 3, and a stone gargoyle. Considering my characters are… well, gargoyles, that extra special prize seems a wee bit fitting.

From NINA BERRY:

Judy Blundell’s fabulous period mysteries, WHAT I SAW AND HOW I LIED and STRINGS ATTACHED, plus a beautiful early 60s-style double-stranded champagne pearl and rhinestone necklace.

Nina says:

The necklace for my giveaway is almost exactly like one Pagan wears in THE NOTORIOUS PAGAN JONES. The traditional elegance of the necklace, which she inherited from her mysterious mother, helps Pagan disguise her rebellious soul, and it can do the same for you… That’s all I can reveal now, but there will be more tidbits and giveaways when the book comes out in late 2014.

As far as why I’m picking Judy Blundell’s books? I’m in love with the complex period setting and three-dimensional characters, not to mention their film noir aura of mystery and danger. For the PAGAN JONES series, I take the reader back to the tumultuous years of the early 1960s, when “good” girls supposedly didn’t drink too much, stay out too late with boys, or get involved with Cold War politics. Too bad for the powers that be that disgraced teen starlet Pagan Jones knows that’s all nonsense.

As Pagan would say – you think spying on communist East Germany is hard? Try growing up in Hollywood.

From ANNE BLANKMAN:

Elizabeth Wein’s CODE NAME VERITY and a fabulous CZ ART DECO pendant similar to the jewelry my main character wears.

Anne says:

This Art Deco necklace is a style that was popular during the 1930s. Curious about the bird charms? Pay attention to the meanings of several characters’ names, and you’ll figure out why I chose this delicate necklace as something my main character, Gretchen, would wear.

It’s no secret why I picked Elizabeth Wein’s CODE NAME VERITY to give away. I love the story’s suspenseful, twisty feel, not to mention a mind-bending mystery that keeps readers guessing until the very end.

In PRISONER OF NIGHT AND FOG and its sequel, step into the treacherous world of the Nazi elite’s inner circle. Gretchen has always felt as though she belonged there…until she stumbles across a horrific secret that forces her to question everything she’s ever believed. Find out if she manages to break free when my book comes out this spring.

From MARTINA BOONE:

A signed four-book box set of the BEAUTIFUL CREATURES series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, plus a sterling silver Tiffany-style key necklace that ties into all the secrets that Barrie had to unlock to survive at Watson’s Landing.

Martina Says:

I love the rich, deeply Southern setting and the quirky characters in the BEAUTIFUL CREATURES books by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, as well as the swoon-worthy romance and the fun twist on magic. For the HEIRS OF WATSON ISLAND trilogy, I’ve built a mysterious and magical Southern world with crumbling traditions and haunted histories, and I’ve thrown in three plantations, a 300-year-old feud, ghosts and guardian spirits, and hey, did I mention a breathless romance? Not to mention lots of magical family secrets that need to be unlocked.

I’ll admit though, the key has multiple meanings. Barrie, my main character, wears three of the real Tiffany keys in platinum and diamonds, and it has a lot of emotional significance. That’s all I’m going to say for now, but I’ll be providing more hints and giveaways between now and when the book comes out next fall. ☺

From LANIE BROSS:

A signed set of THE FURY trilogy by Elizabeth Miles plus a handmade necklace with a firefly charm.

Lanie Says:

I loved ENVY/FURY/ETERNITY because like FATES, it makes you question what is our choice, what is meant to be, and what should never happen! Enter our equally epic YASeriesInsiders’ giveaway to win a complete autographed set of the ENVY/FURY/ETERNITY series, plus a handmade necklace with a firefly charm and the quote “There will be no miracles today” in honor of my main character, Corinthe, and the ultimate choice she will have to make in FATES!

From TRACY CLARK:

The Infernal Devices Hardcover Boxed Set with a bold and feminine hammered spiral ring in recycled sterling silver.

Tracy says:

The spiral is an ancient and mysterious symbol found all over the world, which speaks to the mystery of SCINTILLATE and THE LIGHT KEY TRILOGY as a whole.

In my trilogy, the most mystical people around us have a name and a mythology. The truth about them has been aggressively covered up, but Cora discovers the meaning of her newfound powers and her role in a conspiracy spanning centuries—a conspiracy that could end her life and change mankind forever. The book is full of mysterious symbols, and Finn has a version of the triple spiral tattooed on his chest. How yummy is that?

For the book portion of my giveaway, I’ve chosen a series that I loved so much, I couldn’t be happy until I’d read them all. Then, I despaired when it was over. I loved the characters in THE INFERNAL DEVICES by Cassandra Clare enough to cry and fret over them. I loved the mystery and sense of place. It was fresh and yet, timeless.

From BREE DESPAIN:

The Abandon trilogy by Meg Cabot, a beautiful lyre necklace, and a $30 iTunes giftcard.

Bree Says:

I loved taking ancient mythological elements and giving them a fun, modern-day twist in my new Into The Dark series. Like Meg Cabot’s Abandon trilogy, INTO THE DARK: THE SHADOW PRINCE explores elements of the Persephone and Hades myth from Greek mythology—but in completely different and exciting ways.

I am also giving away a beautiful lyre necklace that is the ancient Greek symbol for music and storytelling, along with a $30 iTunes gift card. Music plays an important role in THE SHADOW PRINCE. Haden, the disgraced prince of the Underrealm has been sent to the mortal world to entice Daphne, an aspiring musician and the daughter of a rockstar, to return with him to the land of the dead because she is rumored to be able to restore immortality to his race. Where Haden is from, music is forbidden, but to get close to Daphne he must become immersed in her musical world. Music is what makes Haden and Daphne so different but becomes the emotional core that draws them together.

From CLAUDIA GRAY:

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE by Beth Revis, HOURGLASS by Myra Mcintyre, and SHADOW AND BONE by Leigh Bardugo, plus a beautiful reproduction Faberge egg.

Claudia Says:

A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU is the first in a trilogy about the countless possible worlds that exist alongside our own — and Marguerite Caine’s struggle, through a thousand different realities, to hold on to one true thing.

Really, I think of this book as the YA version of A WRINKLE IN TIME. But fans of great YA science fiction books such as ACROSS THE UNIVERSE by Beth Revis and HOURGLASS by Myra Mcintyre should love A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU as well. And people who love the alternate Russia of Leigh Bardugo’s SHADOW AND BONE might be fans too. So I’ll give away copies of all three books … as well a beautiful reproduction Faberge egg, just like one that Marguerite encounters at one of the most dramatic — and romantic — moments of her adventure.

From S. E. GREEN:

A copy of THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER by Michelle Hodkin, a copy of I HUNT KILLERS by Barry Lyga, and a complete set of the hit Showtime series, DEXTER. Plus some really cool evidence bags loaded with KILLER INSTINCT swag.

Shannon says:

Everyone has a dark side. Nature versus nurture. Destiny. Secrets. Wondering if you’re crazy. Repressed memories. The fine line between reality and psychosis. Being frightened by your own self. These are shared elements in my debut thriller and why I love shows like Dexter and books like I Hunt Killers and The Mara Dyer Trilogy. I’m a sucker for a good intrigue, a bit of gore, and a thrilling ride.

From KIMBERLEY GRIFFITHS LITTLE:

A hardcover set of Laini Taylor’s gorgeous novels, DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE and DAYS OF BLOOD & STARLIGHT. Plus a silky belly dance skirt and jangling bead/coin hip scarf to send you off to the Goddess Temple of Ashtoreth.

Kimberley says:

I love DAYS OF BLOOD AND STARLIGHT because of its exotic desert setting, lush descriptions, complex mythology, and delicious, sexy romance. That’s the same feeling and atmosphere I’ve tried to create in the two worlds of FORBIDDEN: the safety of Jayden’s family among the tents and women of the desert where belly dancing is like breathing, and the dangerous world of the Goddess Temples of Ashtoreth, where lush beauty adorns the candle-lit corridors and the sexual dancing lures young girls into the goddess lifestyle.

For some young women though, that beauty turns dark and dangerous. As hints of danger surface, Jayden becomes frantic to save her sister who has already succumbed, and finds herself swept along until she must choose between the temple’s mysteries and the boy she loves from the secret frankincense lands.

From SARA RAASCH:

A complete set of THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy plus a chakram keychain for SNOW LIKE ASHES in honor of my main character, Meira, and her weapon of choice!

Sara says:

The themes in Lord of the Rings — ancient evil, underdog heroes, fully realized kingdoms, and breathtaking battles — have been the basis for generations of fantasy obsessions. Is it any wonder I can attribute some of my inspiration for SNOW LIKE ASHES to Tolkien’s epic masterpiece?
