The London List, Book 3 Kensington Brava ♦ July 30, 2013 ISBN-13: 9780758269102 ♦ ISBN-10: 0758269102 Lady Imaculata Anne Egremont has appeared in the scandalous pages of the London List often enough. The reading public is so bored with her nonsense, she couldn’t make news now unless she took a vow of chastity. But behind her naughty hijinks is a terrible fear. It’s time the List helped her. With a quick scan through its job postings and a few whacks at her ridiculous name, she’s off to keep house for a bachelor veteran as plain Anne Mont. Major Gareth Ripton-Jones is dangerously young and handsome on the face of it, but after losing his love and his arm in short order, he is also too deep in his cups to notice that his suspiciously young housekeeper is suspiciously terrible at keeping house. Until, that is, her sharp tongue and her burnt coffee penetrate even his misery—and the charm underneath surprises them both.

HOW TO MARRY A HIGHLANDER

KATHARINE ASHE

*Release Day,July 30,2013*

An intrepid lady takes on an impossible task to win an irresistible lord.

With seven troublesome half-sisters to marry off, Duncan, the Earl of Eads, has one problem: he’s broke. With the prospect of marriage to the pompous local curate, Miss Teresa Finch-Freeworth has one dream: to wed the handsome Highlander she saw at a ball.

How does a desperate lady convince a reluctant laird that she’s the perfect bride for him? She strikes a wager! If she can find seven husbands for seven sisters, the earl must marry her. But when Duncan gives her a deadline even the most audacious matchmaker can’t meet — one month — Teresa sets terms too: with each bridegroom she finds, the earl must pay her increasingly intimate rewards . . .

How to Marry a Highlander is a Falcon Club series spin-off novella.

Pre-order the novella for $1.99 in e-book format or the paperback for $3.99.

She is a two-time nominee and 2011 winner of the Reviewers’ Choice Awards for Best Historical Romantic Adventure, and her novella A Lady’s Wish launched HarperCollins Publishers’ Avon Impulse imprint in 2011.

HISTORICAL ROMANCE AUTHOR….

GLYNNIS CAMPBELL

~NATIVE GOLD~

MBA&M: Good morning, Glynnis, and welcome to My Book Addiction and More.
Please give our readers some insight into the mind and life of Glynnis Campbell?

GC: Thank you so much for having me.  I truly enjoy visiting—your readers are always so warm and welcoming!

MBA&M: I know you usually write Scottish Medieval Romance, what made you venture into the world of the “Old West”?

GC: I think of NATIVE GOLD as a love letter to my hometown of Paradise, California.  Paradise has a rich Gold Rush history, and the dramatic landscapes—from snow-fed creeks winding through lush pine forests to cascading waterfalls and “the little Grand Canyon”–are breathtaking.  Every year, the town celebrates its pioneer roots with Gold Nugget Days, and I once served as the Gold Nugget Queen!  So setting a story there was something I’d wanted to do for a long time.

MBA&M: What was your inspiration behind “Native Gold”?

GC: The rush of miners in the 1850s disrupted the Native American culture in California.  I’d seen some of the Konkow tribe’s artifacts—arrowheads, beads, baskets, grinding stones—and I was curious to learn what had happened to them.  As it turned out, some of the native women married miners, and their great-great-grandchildren still live there today!  So I decided it would be fun to drop Mathilda Hardwicke, a New York society heroine, into the primitive world of the Konkow, where she falls in love with the land, the culture, and the hero, Sakote.

MBA&M: Which character was the most difficult to write, be it the main character or a secondary character?

GC: During the Gold Rush, miners came from all over the world—Europe, South America, China—and one of my characters, the hero’s best friend, decided he was from Hawaii.  There was a contingent of Hawaiians near Paradise at that time, but I knew next to nothing about mid-19^th century Hawaii.  So the character of Noa required some extra research on my part.

MBA&M: Why write about Gold Rush in California and mail-order brides?

GC: I’m a third-generation Californian, and I love it here!  I’m fascinated by the Gold Rush and the way that people from every corner of the world were thrown together in the space of a few years, forcing a melting-pot culture that was sometimes amusing and sometimes volatile, but always full of discovery.  I chose a mail-order bride scenario to explain why a woman of otherwise reasonable sensibilities would choose to go to the wild West!

 
MBA&M: Who would you say was your favorite character and why?

GC: There are a LOT of characters in my gold camp, and I had fun with all of them.  But I have a soft spot for Swede, the gentle giant who watches over Mattie.  I based the character on my cousin, a give-you-the-shirt-off-his-back kind of guy who comes on tough, but wouldn’t hurt a fly.  (It was also a kick to use my four rowdy nephews as the Campbell boys in the story.)

MBA&M: What three words would you use to describe “Native Gold” from an author’s viewpoint?

GC: Passionate, adventurous, breathtaking.

MBA&M: Which character from “Native Gold” will have their own story and when? Not giving anything away, of course?

GC: I guess it’s not too much of a spoiler to say that Sakote and Mattie get their happy ending in NATIVE GOLD!  The two sequels, NATIVE WOLF and NATIVE HAWK, are the stories of their half-breed sons.  One has embraced his native roots, while the other lives largely in the white man’s world, and by then a real-life tragedy has befallen the Konkow tribe that complicates the story and the two sons’ search for love and closure.

MBA&M: What will be the allure of  Sakote the Konkow warrior and the Indian world to readers, do you think? By the way I myself enjoy “Old West” and the Indian world, as I have Indian ancestry also…

GC: Who doesn’t love a man in a loincloth?  I think readers will enjoy experiencing the culture shock of the Gold Rush, where savage Sakote plays “Tarzan” to civilized Mattie’s “Jane.”  I’m getting great reviews from readers in the U.K., who are as enthralled by the Native Americans of the Old West as Americans are obsessed with knights in shining armor.  (By the way, as you may be able to tell by my straight, dark hair, I have Indian blood as well—my ancestors hail from Pawhuska, the seat of the Osage tribe!)

MBA&M:  I can see “Native Gold” as an epic movie, so inquiring minds, or me rather, would like to know…who do you see as the actors playing your characters?

GC: Ah, you know me well!  I always “cast” my books in my head.  So if you’d rather hold your own auditions, skip this next part—ha ha!  For Mattie, I imagined Evangeline Lilly, and young Nathaniel Arcand is Sakote.  You can find their inspiration photos here: http://www.glynnis.net/books/index.php?module=photoalbum&PHPWS_Album_op=view.  Go ahead, I’ll wait.  (You’ll see Willie Nelson has a bit part as Zeke.)

MBA&M: Now, getting away from “Native Gold” for a moment, when can we expect another Scottish Medieval Romance?

GC: I’m almost finished with the first sequel to NATIVE WOLF and will be tackling NATIVE HAWK next.  But I may sneak in a Scottish medieval novella this year, and I’m planning to write a trilogy sequel to my Warrior Maids of Rivenloch series, the Warrior Daughters of Rivenloch, very soon.

MBA&M: Last but not least, please tell our readers how to connect to you and where they may purchase “Native Gold”?

GC: You can find me at www.glynnis.net.  NATIVE GOLD is available in almost all formats, including a trade-size paperback! 

Here are the links: http://bit.ly/NativeGoldKindle http://bit.ly/NativeGoldNook http://bit.ly/NativeGoldKobo http://bit.ly/NativeGoldPback http://bit.ly/NativeGoldSmashwords.  

I love hearing from readers, so if you want to keep in touch, you can chat me up at www.facebook.com/GlynnisCampbell and www.twitter.com/GlynnisCampbell and check out some of my favorite stuff at www.pinterest.com/GlynnisCampbell. 

Thanks again for having me.  I hope you fall in love with my little town of Paradise and enjoy reading NATIVE GOLD as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Thank you,Glynnis, for stopping by today! I love your stories and have just finished NATIVE GOLD,and I can tell you it was a great read!

A mail-order bride finds savage passion in NATIVE GOLD

BOOK 1 OF THE CALIFORNIA LEGENDS TRILOGY

Mathilda Hardwicke, a rebellious artist rejected by her family and New York society, heads west to Gold Rush California to make a new life for herself as a mail-order bride.  When fate leaves her at the altar in Paradise Bar–a ramshackle gold camp full of ragtag miners–she’s sure she’s leaped out of the frying pan and into the fire.

But unbeknownst to Mattie, she has a protector.  Sakote, a fierce Konkow warrior, is bound by honor to watch over the white woman.  And though his tribe is threatened by the encroaching miners, he’s strangely drawn to Mattie, who delights in making pictures of him and whose destiny seems entwined with his.

When a tragedy at the camp forces Sakote to steal Mattie away, she finds herself in an unfamiliar Paradise of savage wonder, and she soon discovers a forbidden love more precious than gold.

Available for Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Smashwords, and iTunes

IT IS OUR GREAT PLEASURE TO HAVE WITH US TODAY….

PARANORMAL ROMANCE AUTHOR….

SARA HUMPREYS

~UNDONE~

So without further ado, welcome Sara!!!

MBA&M: Please tell our readers a little bit about yourself? For those who may not know you yet.

SH: Sure thing! I’m a hopeless romantic and married to my college sweetheart. We have four boys, who are 18, 15 and our twins are 12. I love writing romance and still can’t quite believe that I get to do it for a living. We live just outside NYC and have two loud dogs.

MBA&M: What was or is your inspiration in writing Paranormal genre?

SH: I’ve always loved sci-fi and the paranormal. The first paranormal romances I read were by Christine Feehan and Lori Handeland. I love a happily ever after and exploring the journey to get there.

MBA&M: What made you decide to write The Amoveo Legend? And why the title UNDONE?

SH: I’m not entirely sure. LOL. I always adored the idea of shapeshifting but I couldn’t choose only one animal, which is why they have ten different clans. I knew the heroine in the first book was a human/Amoveo hybrid and as I began to write their story, I wondered what the purebloods would think of this new breed. The Purist story arc developed as I was writing Malcolm and Samantha’s story in UNLEASHED and it carried through the series from there. UNDONE is a fitting title for Pete and Marianna’s story because their entire race is at a crossroads, so the Amoveo are undone. However, Marianna and Pete are undone by one another so it’s fitting for them as well.

*Some of Sara’s glorious book covers*

MBA&M: Which of The Amoveo Legend characters so far was your favorite to write and why?

SH: I can’t pick a favorite because it always changes. It’s usually the characters I’m writing at the moment but if you force me to…I’ll pick Steven. He’s a secondary character but has become a fan favorite. He holds a special place in my heart as well. The poor man needs to get his HEA but it won’t happen for a while.

MBA&M: Who was or is your favorite hero/heroine to write and why?

SH: Again, it’s usually the pair that I’m writing at the time I’m asked this question but Kerry and Dante are probably the closest thing to my favorite couple. They must be because they turn in up in every Amoveo book.

MBA&M: How many books do you foresee being in THE AMOVEO LEGEND and which one is next?

SH: Well, I was contracted for five novels and two novellas. One more novel is coming out in December—UNCLAIMED. The novella, UNBOUND, will be out at some point next year but that’s the end of the series. I have at least two more books in mind, one of which is Steven’s but I have no idea when they’ll be out.

MBA&M: Who would you just die to have take you to dinner, either real or fictional? Why?

SH: Well, if it wasn’t my husband….then I’d pick Chris Pine. He’s handsome, has a wickedly devilish smile and seems to have a solid sense of humor.

MBA&M: What is one of your favorite things to do while writing a deliciously, sexy story?

SH: I love listening to sexy instrumental songs when I write love scenes. Sometimes it’s smooth jazz and other times it’s gritty rock n’ roll because it totally depends on the characters I’m writing. For example, when I was writing Tall, Dark, and Vampire the music was really dark and sexy—I listened to a lot of Guns n’ Roses and Slaughter because Doug and Olivia are that kind of couple.

MBA&M: For a fun thingy,I will name one word,you must answer with one word answers and the first thing that comes to mind? We will be watching you!

Scorching or Medium? Scorching

Wolf or Cat? Wofl

Vampires or Shapeshifters? Both

Meat or Vegetable? Meat

MBA&M: Now inquiring minds what to know, or me anyway: What is your favorite time of day?

SH: The unbroken silence of early morning before my boys wake up and the day is full of promise.

MBA&M: We hope you have enjoyed your visit with us and our readers today. Please tell our readers how to connect with you and where they may purchase UNDONE?

UNDONE

SARA HUMPHREYS

The Amoveo are shapeshifting animal clans who live secretly among humans and must find their pre-destined soul mates while avoiding the enemy that seeks to destroy them all.

Party girl Marianna Coltari is an unmated pureblood Amoveo who wants nothing to do with the ongoing war that took her father’s life and continues to consume her brother Dante’s. But when she is targeted by one of the clans, she has little choice but to run and hide in a cabin with Pete Castro, a retired cop from her brother’s security firm. There, Pete and Marianna explore an intensifying attraction between them until danger is at the door and there’s no escape.

IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO WELCOME JEFFERY DEAVER TO MBA&M….

SUSPENSE/THRILLER AUTHOR OF…

“THE KILL ROOM”

So without further ado, welcome Jeffery….

MBA&M: Welcome to MBA&M,Jeffery, please tell our readers a little about yourself and where we may connect with you?

JD: Thanks! I’m a former lawyer, journalist and folksinger who has been a full-time thriller writer for about 25 years. The best way to follow what’s happen is—naturally—through the web. At jefferydeaver.com and to follow me on Facebook and Twitter.

MBA&M: What draws you to write a suspense/thriller with government-sanctioned “hit men” included?

JD: I wanted to write a political novel for the first time and the Anwar al-Awlaki killing (a U.S. citizen killed by a drone strike in Yemen a few years ago) struck me as a good hook for a thriller featuring Lincoln Rhyme, the main character of nine other novels, beginning with The Bone Collector.

MBA&M: Living in North Carolina myself, do you draw much insight from your background? Or is it all in your mind, inquiring minds want to know?

JD: No, nearly all what I write is made up and researched, although in The Kill Room my killer is a gourmet cook and uses some of those techniques to dispatch people. I share that skill (the cooking, not the homicide).

MBA&M: What grabbed your intention with the title “The Kill Room”? Why that title and not another?

JD:The Kill Room title is itself a clue as to what happens in the story, and so I had to use that, or a variation. I can’t say more because it’s a surprise.

MBA&M: Which character was or is the hardest to write and why? Are villains harder to write or heroes?

JD: Bad guys are the best to write, because they’re the most fun (getting all those frustrations out, maybe). But neither heroes nor villains are harder or easier; all characters have to be drawn carefully.

MBA&M: What is your next project?

JD:The October List (Grand Central, October, 2013), a thriller written in reverse. A new Lincoln Rhyme in 2014 and a short story collection, Trouble in Mind, 2014.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit with us and our readers today!
