Suddenly, Lucy finds herself enraptured by the excitement of her new relationship, leaving her blinded to the warning signs of danger ahead. Can her fairy tale romance last, or will she find that her prince charming is more like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Author Bio:
Angela Carling was raised in Palm Springs California, but lives Arizona with her husband, three kids and five felines. After years of denial she finally admitted that she is a hopeless romantic which led her to write her first Young Adult book Unbreakable Love. Since then she’s published three more books, Shackled, Becoming Bryn and The Secret Keeper. Shackled won the silver IPGA award in 2012 and has been optioned as a screenplay. She always eats the frosting off her cake and leaves the rest, and can be caught singing in public bathrooms just for the acoustics. When she’s not writing YA novels, she’s mentoring teen writers, making pizza with her family or dreaming of taking a nap, not necessarily in that order.

Author Bio:
I grew up on the south side of Chicago, where my two best-friends and I made up countless love stories about the Beatles. I guess that’s how this whole writing-thing got started—three little girls writing romance about Paul, John George and Ringo.
It seems that romance is simply part of my DNA and I can’t seem to write much of anything else. Even my mysteries have an element of romance in them. And I intend to keep on writing in the romance genre for many years to come. I love a happy ending.
Recently, I’ve hit a couple of the Amazon best seller lists for my box set of novellas, so thank you for that!
I just signed with Harlequin for two more books in their American line. Look for them in 2014. Plus, I also signed with Entangled for two romantic suspense books in my new Guardians of the Knight series. Look for these stories sometime during the end of this year, and in 2014. (I’ll keep you posted on the actual release dates.)
My Olive Oil series will pick up again in 2014, along with more holiday novellas.
That should be enough to keep me happily ensconced in romance for the next year . . . don’t you think?

Author Bio:
Jules is originally from California. She is a true, hopeless, all-in romantic. Her first kiss was with a Frenchman in Paris, her first love was an Eagle Scout, her first crash and burn was with someone from Harvard (Jules studied history at Yale–she should have known better).
The Irish Cottage: Finding Elizabeth was inspired by Jules’ love for all things Irish. A love sparked in her teens by Riverdance; fanned into a flame when she befriended a group of Irish kids in France; and blazed into a wildfire by a visit to the Emerald Isle.
Earlier this year, an AncestryDNA test confirmed what Jules has suspected for a while: she’s part Irish (one of her grandparents continues to be unknown, but as luck would have it, the test divined that he must have been an Irish-Scot-Swede).

The Irish Cottage: Finding Elizabeth (The Irish Heart Series, Book 1)
The London Flat: Second Chances (The Irish Heart Series, Book 2)
The Paris Apartment: Fated Journey (The Irish Heart Series, Book 3)

INTERVIEW WITH JULES
Q: How did you come up with The Irish Cottage?
Jules: Well the story came together in pieces. I love Ireland, I’ve always been attracted to the country, the people, the music, the dancing. I’ve spent time traveling the country so I knew I wanted to set the book there. And then the character of Elizabeth was based on a lot of the experiences I had when I was in law in San Francisco. When I was immersed in that world–it was a very dark time, and I really did lose my way–like Elizabeth. I even let long-time relationships die because I was in such a dark place, it was difficult to see anything past my own nose. So yeah, I knew I wanted my heroine to be a “recovering attorney” and I knew that I wanted her to have this great love affair in Ireland that would open her up to the truly great possibilities life has to offer.
Q: And what about Connor Bannon? Is he based on anyone?
Jules: Ummm…he might be an amalgamation of several people, but I think I’ll refrain from commenting further–have to keep some of it to myself, don’t I?
Q: Why did you elect to write literary women’s fiction as opposed to traditional contemporary romance?
Jules: I knew I wanted to write in the literary women’s fiction space because writing a story where the heroine’s evolution is paramount–not just her relationship with Connor–is what really gets me, drives me–I love those stories. I like writing herstory–women’s lives and journeys are so complex–I wanted to write a series that included a great love story, but didn’t sacrifice the heroine’s journey in any way. It’s about Elizabeth finding her way–we all need to find our way. Sometimes people help with that, but ultimately each of us has to find our own path…and we all need love too.
Q: Why London and then Paris?
Jules: I lived in London for a time–I love it so much. It’s one of the best cities on the planet, really. When I closed my eyes and thought about where Elizabeth’s journey would take her I knew London would be next. And Paris–I lived in Lyon for a time as well and I’ve spent a lot of time in Paris so it seemed only natural for the final book to be set there. I also set certain things in motion in The Irish Cottage that make it impossible to end anywhere else–I knew I wanted to end it in France. Plus, Elizabeth has a major sweet tooth, like me, and Paris has the most amazing dessert masters in the world. I spent many hours pouring over the websites of my favorites and discovering some new ones. Those were the hardest and best research nights–I’m nocturnal, I write at night–and pouring over the websites of my favorite masters was heaven and hell. I wanted to get on a plane already. My sugar intake definitely went up while I was writing The Paris Apartment–and my waistline with it.

Author Bio:
R I Heslop lives in Ovingham, Northumberland, UK with his beautiful wife, two affectionate cats, and two ugly mortgages for two of his four children and two grandchildren. He has been writing on and off for years and has written a children’s novel, (The Demon) a science fiction thriller with a friend (Globe), a paranormal romance (Annie’s Ghost) under his own name and all available on the Kindle as well as a teenage/young adult series *( Growing Pains of a Teenage Werewolf)about werewolves and vampires under the name of Skelton Rickerby, also on the Kindle. His biggest regret is that years ago he didn’t continue writing even after being rejected many times by traditional publishers. He did have an agent for his children’s horror novel, The Demon, but the offers he received would have meant carving the essence out of the book and he wasn’t prepared to do that. Amazon has given him the chance to publish without interference from the middle men who are only in any case offering an opinion and in many cases in the past have been proved to be totally wrong. Rebecca Grenville is a romance with a dark twist as the story unfolds. It is written in 6 volumes and Volume VI, the last volume was recently released. Now the full version consisting of all 6 volumes is available at a huge discount.
Ian Heslop sings tenor in the local choir as well as being secretary: he recently played the part of Friar Tuck in Ovingham Drama Group’s pantomime of Robin Hood; he is also a fanatical supporter of the Premiership football team, Newcastle United. He loves reading, writing, acting and singing and cats.
My Story of Survival by Mimi Emamnuel
About My Story of Survival by Mimi Emamnuel:
Ten ingredients only for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Mimi lived on ten ingredients in total for a period of five years; for breakfast, lunch and dinner, every single day.
Her diet contains no gluten, eggs, sugar, fructose, grains, flours, nuts, seeds, meat, beans, soy, and no legumes. Initially, her diet contained no dairy either.
Mimi’s diet may benefit anyone who suffers from gut problems, allergies, food intolerances, sensitive gut or chemical sensitivities. This includes people who have been diagnosed with autoimmune conditions, Lyme, Lupus, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel and fibromyalgia.
The author’s One Size Fits All diet has a lot in common with the FODMAP diet plan which was developed by Sue Shepherd PhD and Peter Gibson MD, and is considered a revolutionary plan for managing IBS and other digestive disorders. But even this so called ‘must-have-survival-guide’ would not have worked for Mimi after she ruptured her appendix and developed septicemia whilst suffering from antibiotic intolerance.
By repairing her gut, Mimi’s health improved exponentially and many of the symptoms either disappeared or were greatly reduced.
The author reckons that the secret ingredient of ‘oodles of faith’ worked miracles. Read Mimi’s fascinating true story to find out what happened.

HUNTER by Robert Bidinotto
A #1 Kindle Thriller bestseller … a Wall Street Journal “Top 10 Fiction Ebook”….
Two people, passionately in love. But each hides a deadly secret….
Dylan Hunter is a mysterious crusading reporter, on a violent vigilante quest for justice.
CIA officer Annie Woods is tracking this unknown assassin, sworn to stop him.
Neither knows the truth about the other.
And neither knows that a terrifying predator is hunting them both….
From its first gripping pages, HUNTER takes you on a nonstop thrill ride: from the top floor of the CIA, to the marbled corridors of Capitol Hill … from the posh hotels of downtown Washington, to the city’s mean, violent streets. It introduces a colorful new hero for our time — and a dazzling heroine every bit his equal.
A spy mystery, a crime thriller, a passionate romance: HUNTER is a genre-bending novel unlike any you’ve read. Deviously plotted, filled with vivid characters, and propelled at a breakneck pace, it’s a tale as memorable for its provocative ideas as for a rousing climax that leaves readers cheering.
If you enjoy the thrillers of Lee Child, Stephen Hunter, Brad Thor, and Vince Flynn, you’ll love HUNTER.

Author Bio:
All my life — since I watched “The Lone Ranger” and read Batman comics as a little kid in the 1950s — I have been passionate about justice. That became the underlying theme during my career as an award-winning investigative journalist, editor, and nonfiction book author.
Now, it’s the central theme of my fiction writing, too. Like me, the hero of my Dylan Hunter thrillers is motivated by his passion for justice. A modern urban “Zorro,” he can’t walk away when the powerful and the privileged commit injustices against those he cares about. That’s why Dylan Hunter became a crusading vigilante — why I call him “the new face of justice” — and why I call myself “The Vigilante Author.”

No ancestors, no factors,
