    This week's special guest is author C. Fern Cook and she stops by www.LoveThoseShifters.Blogspot.com to talk about how her time as a police officer helped to make her a better writer.

    Fern started out as a freelance writer in the late 90's doing articles for how-to and inspirational markets. Followed by a few short stories and poem published in 2002. "Wild Evolution" is the first book in her dark paranormal Wild Series. Her latest is an inspirational romance called Learning To Love On Indian Time and it just hit the shelves late this summer.

    Currently, Fern is working on the second book in the Wild series. Also in the lineup for future novels is an adventure story about finding the Garden of Eden, and an unusual tale about the afterlife.

    Hope you can stop by and say hi!

    Today we're celebrating Denise Skelton's new release UNTIL NOW with a Cyber Launch Party at www.CyberLaunchParty.Blogspot.com

    Terry Meyers' life seems to be falling apart. Her husband left her and their 2 sons for a woman 10 years her junior, she has a mortgage that she can't afford, a car that stays broken more than it works and a son who's going through puberty and seems set to drive her crazy in the process. Add to that the desire to go into business with her cousin, who is adamant that that will never happen and Terry believes her life could not get much worse.
    But as things seem to go from bad, to worse, Terry decides it's time to take stock in her life. First on the list, handle her deadbeat future ex-husband. Second, find a new career. Third, swear off men, what's the point, she always chooses the wrong one, always ends up being used or hurt. Until Now...

    Wade Nelson has moved back to Chicago to work as the new English teacher at Jefferson high. His strained relationship with his father has kept him away for many years. What his family doesn't know is that Wade has another agenda for being back in Chicago.

    When Wade meets feisty Terry Meyers, the last thing he's thinking about is being in a relationship with anyone, let alone a woman who has two children, but Terry has a way of finding herself in rather strange situations and he just happened to be the one there to bail her out. With a past that he has never put to rest, Wade, by no means, considered the idea of settling down. Until Now...

    Marie Treanor's THE DEVIL AND VIA Just Released In Print
    Sun, sex and Satanism - and Via is the chief sacrifice...

    The seventh child of a seventh child, Via has always lived a life just shy of normal. That life is also a mess. She hears things other people don't, and has prophetic dreams she can never quite remember. Eager to escape, she jumps at the chance for a cushy summer job in Italy - where her life goes from merely messy to downright disastrous.

    Taxi driver Giancarlo knows what it's like to feel vulnerable, and can bear any burden - except pity. Rescuing Via from the clutches of a nightmarish satanic cult comes easy. Shielding his heart from her determination to become his lover is a different story. But in her irresistible arms, he begins to believe it's worth the risk.

    Then Via discovers why she is the target of Marinuzzi, a murderous Satanist. He wants her newly unleashed psychic gifts for himself, and he'll do anything to convince her to give them up, including trap Via into an impossible choice.

    A choice that would save Giancarlo's life - but take away his reason to live.

    Warning: This book by Marie Treanor contains edge-of-the-seat sexual tension, some adult language and scenes of satanic orgy. This book is also available in ebook.

    Today we're celebrating the print and ebook release of JUST PEACHY, Michelle Levigne's thrilling sequel to PICTURE THIS and HOW TO BURY A MILLIONAIRE at www.cyberlaunchParty.blogspot.com.

    Novelist Maggie Tortelli considers dropping her pen name and persona, Magda Torrene, thanks to a psychotic fan who begins stalking her, expecting her to be Stacy Peach, the slinky PI she'd created. Maggie knows it's time to get out of the writing business and return full time to investigative work, but her PI boss, Byron Stone, has numerous enemies of his own, and one of them also tries to frame Maggie for murder.

    To keep Maggie safe, Byron recruits his handsome PI buddy, Rick Sloane, to become her bodyguard. Rick, however, has reservations about his assignment, until he discovers that the woman behind the character of Stacy Peach really knows her police procedural, has a calm head in a crisis, and is someone he truly wants to get to know better.

    When Rick and Maggie find themselves stranded on a remote Lake Erie island during a winter storm, they mistakenly believe they can relax in their hidden hideaway. Yet once the weather breaks, it soon becomes a struggle for survival and a question of who will get to Rick and Maggie first - the psycho, the murderer, or Maggie's mysterious new relatives who conveniently come running to the rescue...

    WIN - Today Michelle's got party favors for everyone!!! Everyone who joins the party by leaving a question or comment today over on our Cyber Launch Party will get some peachy sweets and a sampler CD!

    INTO THE WILD

    They’ve bonded as friends, working side by side over the last six months — jaguar shifter, human, and calico cat. Now a freak lab accident bonds Cristían, Jeremy, and Lupe as lovers. New cat-shifter Lupe knows wishes can come true. Hers made her human and gave her the men she loves. She will defeat anyone who dares threaten her new status and her men.

    Jaguar-shifter Jeremy thrills to yet fears his new role, but his relationship with Lupe and Cristían is more than he ever dreamed he could have. But the people trying to kill them, and the mysteries of why, taint it all. Much is unknown, but one thing is not…no one will separate them. No one.

    As for Cristían… He’s been blessed with love where he never expected to find it. Now a force from beyond tells him he created a monster only he can destroy. How can he do so knowing it could cost him the two people he loves the most? The bonds of love and loyalty will lead them to the edge of fear and out into the wild.

    SECRETS WE KEEP

    Secrets we keep from our spouse, our lover, each other...ourselves. Secrets buried inside, some to fester, some to bloom. Secrets on a collision course that can't be avoided and must breathe the light of day...

    Dylan Mitchell is dedicated to two things—his wife and his job. He's the agent who does whatever it takes to get his man, even if that means literally getting his man. It's part of the job, his duty. Besides, Dylan gets to hook-up with his hot-as-hell wife, Susan, once a month for a night of unfettered sex.
    It's all good. Right?

    Ah...but those secrets.

    It's not just a job anymore. Emotions are involved—his, Susan's, and Cabot Logan's, the man Dylan is supposed to put behind bars. His two worlds aren't about to overlap, they're going to collide. Real world and undercover. Secrets revealed. Secrets Dylan's kept from himself.

    But Susan has a secret of her own. So does Cabot. Those secrets and that of others are on a collision course of their own. And the aftermath will change everything...forever...

    We're having a Cyber Launch Party (www.CyberLaunchParty.blogspot.com) today to celebrate Carolina Valdez's new Amber Quill Allure release SOMEBODY TO LOVE

    Their relationship begins with two serious problems...

    Kevin Connolly, star of The Detective and named TV’s “Sexiest Man of the Year,” works in Hollywood with frequent filming trips to various locations. Nate Marquette, Kevin’s new love, works part of the year as a fireman in a mountain range not far from Los Angeles, but most of the year he operates his business as a helicopter logger in the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Complicating the logistics of getting together when they’re miles apart is the fact that it’s vital both men keep their sexual preferences secret. Exposure as a gay man might certainly ruin Kevin’s career, but it could also mean death for Nate.

    Yet in the end, it’s not these challenges that threaten to tear them apart, but deeper issues of trust and betrayal...

    Today we're celebrating Lexxie Couper's new romantic sci fi adventure, THE SUN SWORD with a Cyber Launch Party at www.CyberLaunchParty.blogspot.com - stop by and join the fun and you just might win a prize!

    THE SUN SWORD by Lexxie Couper

    She has the power to bring new life…or utterly destroy it.

    Torin Kerridon, the last warrior from an ancient order, is drawn to an abandoned, dying Earth, where he finds a forgotten young woman. A woman forged by the Immortals to wield the ultimate weapon—the Sun Sword. A woman capable of commanding the power of the suns. A woman with no past and no memory, the body of an angel and the spirit of a demon. He will train her. Prepare her.

    Hunted all her life, Kala Rei has endured more than one woman should. Sheer grit, and a dangerous skill with a lead pipe, are the key to her survival. But nothing threatens her sense of safety more than dominance-oozing Torin. He wants her, but not for what’s between her legs. For what he believes her to be—some ludicrous savior from some absurd prophecy. No matter…his offer to take her away from Earth is too good to refuse.

    But when a savage desire begins to burn between them, both Torin and Kala are in danger—and so are the worlds of man.

    Warning: This book contains an ancient prophecy that can’t be denied, a brooding hero tormented by desire, a stubborn woman who hungers for his touch, a villain so vile you’ll want to kill him yourself and sex so hot it’ll melt the suns of the known universes…and then some.

    Learn More at www.LexxieCouper.com

    WIN - Join the party and leave Lexxie a question or comment today over at www.CyberLaunchParty.blogspot.com and you'll get your name in the hat for a free ebook of Lexxie's new release THE SUN SWORD plus any other Lexxie Couper ebook of the winner's choice!

    Author Desiree Holt has a busy week on her hands...two new releases from two different publishers. If there's better reason to celebrate over on www.CyberLaunchParty.blogspot.com, I can't think of what it is!

    Available today from Total-e-Bound Publishing's Wet Dreams and Fantasies Series...

    INTERMISSION by Desiree Holt
    Book two in the Wet Dreams and Fantasies Series

    Lisa Graham's erotic memories of Interlude prompted her to visit Danny's Pub, its strange replacement, but five minutes into her first night there she got more than she bargained for.

    Lisa Graham hugged to herself the memories of Interlude, the erotic pub that, it seemed, only appeared when it rained - and brought her unbelievable sex with the stranger, Mark. Scoping out Danny's Pub, the bar that occupies the space when there's no rain, she meets Jake, and falls into an erotic whirlpool that has a shocking surprise for her.

    Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes with multiple sex partners and public nudity.

    And available this Wednesday from Ellora's Cave's Courgar Challenge Series...

    HOT TO TROT by Desiree Holt
    Book 4 in the Cougar Challenge series.

    Buying a ranch on eBay was the wildest thing Autumn Kelley had ever done. Past forty, she’d pretty much written excitement out of her life. But then she discovered the ranch came with a foreman who made every pulse in her body pound and who could give her an orgasm just by looking at her. As if that weren’t enough, he had a friend equally as mouth-watering, and the two of them took Autumn on an erotic trip that outdid any fantasy she could every have imagined. If sex with one hot boy toy was fantastic, then sex with two at the same time took her over the top. But what will she do when she comes down from the orgasmic high?

    WIN - Join the party and leave Judith a question or comment today over at www.CyberLaunchParty.blogspot.com and since we're celebrating two new releases, you'll have two chances to win!! One lucky poster will win the ebook of INTERMISSION and one will win the ebook of HOT TO TROT! Good luck!

    Set Phasers To Sizzle...in this sexy new sci fi romance from Karen Kelley.

    DATING OUTSIDE YOUR DNA by Karen Kelley

    Special agent Roan Hendrix is a straight shooter with weapons and women, so he doesn't appreciate it when his boss throws him a curve. But what a curve. A half-human, half-Nerakian who needs a one-on-one crash course in how best to channel her powers. And while Roan's usually a master at separating business from pleasure, one glance into Lyraka's green eyes is enough to spark scorching fantasies of seriously close encounters with the tall, tanned temptress...

    Lyraka's trying not to mind the way Mister Macho Special Agent keeps barking orders, but it's impossible to ignore Roan's rough-and-ready appeal. The sensitive ponytail guys Lyraka grew up with didn't have a clue how to handle her outsized sex drive, but Roan looks like he'd be up to the task in every way. Better still, he never got the memo that Lyraka's human side makes her - ahem - "special talents" even greater than the average Nerakian's...
