Author Bio:
Luisa Marietta Gold was born in Pennsylvania where she spent a large part of her adult life. She moved to North Carolina after the birth of her only daughter. She published her debut novel, Escape to Osprey Cove, which is Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge series in September 2016. The Osprey Cove Series was born from Luisa’s love of the Rideau Lake region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. She spent many years enjoying the Rideau region while staying in lodges reminiscent of the lodge in her first novel. She currently resides on eleven acres in her North Carolina home near an idyllic lake with her husband and several mixed labs. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of the lake. Luisa also does acrylic painting. The cover of her debut book which features The Lady Droxell on a Canadian lake was painted by her. It was very satisfying to Luisa to know that she created the entire project. There is a tea room not far from her home where one selects a hat to wear while dining as did Libby and Rosalind in the book. And sometimes they are silly. Luisa’s bio picture was taken there.

Been there. Slain that.
Ashe Carver is one kick-ass monster killer—and she has the scars to prove it. But faced with a custody battle for her ten-year-old daughter, Eden, she’s hung up her stakes and taken a job at the public library, determined to prove she’s as good a mother as she is a hunter.
Easier said than done. Lovelorn vampires haunt the library, a slime demon is hanging out at the mall, and, after centuries guarding a supernatural prison, dashing Captain Reynard strides into her world like a hero from a classic novel. He has only weeks to live unless Ashe finds the thief who took his soul—and he’s just too drop-dead gorgeous to die…

OLIVER
My name is Oliver. I was a guard to Maksim Markov; king of the Russian underworld in Europe.
I’ve seen things that would turn a cast iron stomach.
I’ve stood by idly and watched endless acts of depravity.
I’ve created hell on Earth in exchange for fortune.
I’ve maimed, tortured, taken, and I’ve killed.
My mind is dark, my inclinations perverse, and my soul is black.
There’s no salvation for me—until Amaya enters my life; a raven-haired beauty with blue eyes that sparkle like sapphires. She’s the epitome of what my life isn’t.
I’m not worthy of her, and she certainly deserves better than me, but that’s never stopped me before.
When I want something, I take it, and right now, I want her—and I won’t let anything or anyone prevent me from making her mine.

Ok, this is the bit where I have to sell myself. Why is it so much easier to write about sexy blokes! Anyway.
I am a British author, from the depths of the rural countryside near London. In a previous life, I was an Accountant from the age of twenty-one. I still do that on occasions, but most of my life is now spent intermingling writing while looking after my husband, two children and two cats (probably in the inverse order to the one listed!). When I have some spare time I can also be found writing poetry, baking cakes (and eating them), or behind a camera snapping like a mad paparazzi.
In 2015 I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. It was also around this time that I became one of the founding members of a dramatic/erotic/dark roleplaying group on Twitter. It was wildly popular with both English and American followers. The writing helped me to overcome my depression by giving me an outlet to channel my thoughts into and not sit around worrying all day about things that would never happen. I took over responsibility for management of the group and responsibility for the development of our storylines. As well as playing at least ten different characters in the group ranging from an innocent virgin, bloodthirsty assassin and even a male lover. The success of the role-play spurred me on to writing novels.
I have a love of travelling and like to bring this to my stories to give them the air of reality. Surrendered Control, my first book released in November 2016, combines two of my favourite travel destinations. India is where I lived for eighteen months with my husband and two children. My young son was only six months old when we travelled there. It was a fabulous time for us all and they learnt so much about the differing cultures, as well as, much to my husband’s chagrin, spending lots of money in the silk shops. The Control series will feature lots of international travel.
I have always been an avid reader. Mainly murder mystery in the past but with Beautiful Bastard I discovered a whole new set of novels and I haven’t looked back since. I like my heroes hot and hunky with a dirty mouth. My heroines demure but with spunk. And my books in a kick arse series.
The Spunksterhood of the Traveling Aunt: Single Life at its Quirkiest by ME LT
About The Spunksterhood of the Traveling Aunt: Single Life at its Quirkiest by ME LT
The Spunksterhood of the Traveling Aunt: Single Life at its Quirkiest is a hilarious and straight-shooting tale about a single woman’s journey on dating (face-to-face, blind dates and online dating), managing the barrage of interrogation to explain her single status not just to relatives and friends but also to strangers, dealing with the dreaded questions “how old are you?”, “why are you still single?” and “when will you get married?” (which become more difficult to answer each year as one gets older and remain unmarried), her unfiltered thoughts and feelings most of which are never shared even with the closest friends, and coming to grips with everyone’s fear – the possibility of growing old alone.
If you’re single, The Spunksterhood of the Traveling Aunt will help you:
– understand why you possibly ended up where you are because surely when you were much younger, you envisioned yourself that by age xx, you should have had a boyfriend or tied the knot, right?
– assess your current situation of meeting eligible prospects and determine how to improve your numbers using simple math
– amicably deal with the dreaded questions “how old are you?”, “why don’t you have a boyfriend?”, “why are you still single?”, “why aren’t you married yet?”, etc.
– make things happen because no amount of goal writing, praying, wishing, hoping and good intentions can make things happen unless you do your part
– see where your life’s trajectory is heading based on what you’re doing now; and
– get back on your feet if you realize your life’s trajectory is not heading to where you’ve envisioned it to be because if you don’t take charge and make radical changes today, before you know it, days turn into weeks, weeks turn into years, and years turn into decades.

Luck of the Irish
My brother says women aren’t worth the effort.
He’s completely wrong. All I want in my life is a good woman and a family.
I’m not like other guys, and I’m damn proud of it.
Scarlet O’Hanley isn’t like any other women I’ve met. Oh, she’s beautiful and classy like lots of girls.
But she owns a bar. And this beauty is tough, witty, and keeps the men around her on their toes.
She’s worth far more than a big pot of gold.
And she’s not interested in love. Not with me. Not with anyone.
Lucky for me, I’m willing to show this girl what it means to be loved.
She can put up a fight all she wants. This woman is mine.

Colorblind by Brooke Bryan
About Colorblind by Brooke Bryan
18-year-old Eden Elliot can only see the color brown, but that changes the day a group of terrorists attack her non-violent world. Before, her biggest worry was meeting with matchmakers, but now the goddess of brown needs a brown seer to investigate the massacres. She makes a deal with Eden. For every clue found, she will give Eden a color to keep.

Investigations become difficult when Cohen joins her—and now he’s no longer just another boy in her small town, but the prince. Together they face old feelings and the attacks of terrorists, whose senseless violence appears to be connected to colors, making Eden question if the colors are worth it.
Then, while on an investigation, Eden finds the first letter. An obsessed terrorist wants her to be a pawn in his game. If Eden follows his clues and reaches the end in time, she will be given the information of the terrorists’ final attack. If she fails, her whole world is in danger, and she could lose all the colors she’s been fighting to gain.

Simple by Dena Nicotra
Nothing simple is real.
You will look twice at people…and technology.
The idea of making life simple appealed to the mainstream. After the economic collapse of the twenty-first century, the government latched on to technology like an economic life-line. Bio-synthetic humanoids integrated into society with relative ease. Taking on the menial jobs, humans grew dependent on their android counterparts, but the corporate sector took things too far. Wrapped in their one-click comfort zones, people trudged along with their latte’s and fashion trend blinders.
The dark side of genetic engineering is a harsh reality.
Humans are being hunted.
They don’t stand a chance.
No one seemed to notice that they weren’t acting as hospitable as they once had. They should have. They didn’t have weaknesses like we did, and, they were capable of clever, unimaginable cruelty.
Those that have survived call the rogue bio-synthetic humanoids “simps” because the company that started the mess had a cheesy marketing campaign that said they made life “Simple.” They couldn’t have been more wrong. When the war broke out, simps were used to spare human losses. It was viewed as a brilliant solution until a developer working for the enemy infected the simps with a virus that caused them to turn on the humans they served. They couldn’t shut them down fast enough.
Fans of Isaac Asimov will appreciate this fast past thriller, although the three laws of robotics never applied to simps! This cyberpunk tale is set in the year 2038.
Hailey Pachello doesn’t do people. She relies on herself because it’s easier. It’s safer, and it’s less dramatic. That is until she meets Leonard ‘Gizzard’ O’Malley. Giz has connections and a plan, and it might just be a good one.

Hooligan Island
As World War II ravages Europe, a German U-boat slipped out of its base and headed out into the Atlantic on a secret mission with an even more secretive cargo. Neither the U-boat nor its crew have ever been seen again, or were they? For Captain Carl Hoffmann and his crew of misfits, it will be the longest cruise of their lives and for most of the crew their last. Fast Forward some seventy years to an oasis in the middle of the Pacific where an old man recounts a fantastic story to his son of being on that very same U-boat that disappeared so long ago as well as how he ended up on an island paradise in the Pacific Ocean. The old man goes on to tell the story of how the island was transformed from an island inhabited by only a few hundred natives to a modern-day paradise that people from around the world travel to today and what that has to do with the missing U-boat, crew and its secretive cargo.
