![]() One of my favourite authors has her first novel DEAD TREES on sale. If you're a follower of this blog, you'll have heard me big up her talents on numerous occasions, and today is no different. With the release of DEAD TREES 2 only weeks away (Woooo- freaking-hooooooo) it's time to grab a copy of DEAD TREES while it's on SALE catch up with Elise and her family, and be prepared for the sequel. If you love post-apocalyptic horror novels with a taste of innocence, you'll love this book. Eli's Social & Website Links www.eliconstant.com | Twitter Facebook | Books on Amazon Goodreads | Wordpress Dead Trees Blurb Subterranean humanoids, existing since the dawn of man, arose from the belly of the planet. Humanity was unprepared. The undergrounders came with nails and claws and speed to kill people in the night, dragging bodies downward into dark tunnels teeming with rabid life. Civilization is now a ghost of yesterday and the remaining humans fight for survival. One thing’s for sure- a scientist mommy battling beasties better be handy with a scalpel. Elise Swanson is a widow and mother. She fights and prays that she can keep her little, broken family safe. She drives and drives, day after day, trying to escape a threat that seems… inescapable. Her hope fades, food is scarce and she watches her eldest daughter’s attempts to soothe the younger babe. Then she meets Jason- a father mourning the loss of his son, masking his pain with bravado and charm. He’s strong, despite his sadness, and love re-grows within him. Weeks pass and Jason’s singular desire becomes the continued safety of Elise and her daughters. Bloody fights with beasties define the survival-road the companions travel. Even a few moments of safety and relaxation elude the group; time and time again, Elise must kiss her children goodbye, just in case tomorrow never arrives. Against all odds, they reach a government safe zone. Even there, Elise finds that there’s no rest for the weary. Doctors O’Toole and Peters have been studying the beasties under lock and key, trying to find an answer, but the doctors aren’t interested in saving humanity. Forced to lead two lives, Elise assists the good doctors in their pursuits while working secretly in sublevel lab 8 with her own team, Nick and Jamie. Their combined knowledge may be the key- the only hope humanity has of reclaiming the planet from the beasties. As long as they can keep their research secret, safe from O’Toole and Peters, they might discover the way home, the formula to click Dorothy’s sparkling red shoes three times and begin to recreate Earth as it was… before the humanoids came out to play on the surface. What will happen when Elise, a neural engineer, Jamie, a medical researcher, and Nick, a computer wizard, are humanity’s best hope? The answer might be surprising. Wrapped up in all the uncertainty, violence, science lingo and beasties, they will find a strange solution to a new Earth. And her name is Margaret. Below is an excerpt to give you a taste of how brilliant Dead Trees is! Dead Trees Excerpt & Cover

DEAD TREES 2 RELEASE EVENT As always, happy reading! Claire ♥ ![]() Today on the blog I have the saucy and gorgeous Paige Matthews, author of quite a few different books now, and no stranger to this blog actually. She writes erotica with a preference for BDSm themes, and she's here with her newest beauty - Crossroads. I've beta read a couple of her books, and they left me with a definite hot flush! I honestly can't wait for her newest book. The cover looks amazing and she's given us an excerpt and giveaway to play with too. Go read, go on, scoot. Author Bio I grew up in a small, idyllic affluent town in the Western part of Connecticut, USA. The town definitely did not match my personality. My high school years were filled with the proverbial teenage fun, although not too much by me. I stayed close to home and pursued my B.A. in English Comparative Literature from a local college and then continued on for my M.A in English Professional Writing. I have always had a love for reading and literature and only furthered that during my studies. During my M.A. studies I decided it was time to challenge myself and work in a field that I have long admired and dreamt off: being a writer. Having entered the lifestyle a few years ago, I write erotica with a preference toward BDSM themes. I enjoy exploring the emotional connection and emotions behind the D/s relationships and why we like what we like.

Crossroads Sales LinksCrossroads Giveaway As always happy reading! Claire ♥ ![]() Hurray hurray! It's Limerence's birthday today. One year ago today, I was sat nervously at my laptop panicking and wondering what the hell I had just let myself in for. "I've published a book." I kept repeating over and over. "Oh my God, I've really done it." Hours and hours I sat there at my little laptop tip-tapping away, editing, designing a cover, building my website and making connections. It was a frightening and wonderful experience. And one year later Lmerence is still going strong. Two full novels, one novella and several anthologies later and I know it was all worth it and I wish I could go back and tell that me to calm the hell down! Scroll down for a great competition and help me celebrate! ![]() Limerence blurb. Mia loves her fiancé Oliver, however after a chance encounter with his new employer Mr Breckt- the mysterious new owner of The Island, her thoughts are constantly consumed with the handsome and powerful stranger. But there is much more to her fixation of him than she realises. Mr Breckt is a hundred year old vampire, and he isn't used to being told no. He could take her at any time, but his ego insists that she wants him of her own freewill. With his obsession spiralling out of control, he finds her body, her mind, and most importantly her blood continuously calling to him, and the more she fights him, the more he wants her. Could his own narcissism be his downfall? Mia finds herself at the centre of a struggle that she can’t resist nor understand. Caught between life and death, hope and fear, love and lust. Ultimately, she will have to make a sacrifice that will affect everyone. But no matter what choices are made, Mia could still lose. Limerence is a dark story of love, lust, and obsession. ![]() So, to celebrate the anniversary, Limerence iscurrently on sale for 99c 77p If you haven't got a copy, go get one and if you have--leave a review, oh aand enter the competition below!

Knapp and her novel-- Pulse. Not only is she a damn fine writer, but her artwork is to die for! I predict great things for this woman in the not so distant future. Pulse is currently sitting in the top #100 for post-apocalyptic and horror, where she's been for nearly a month, I highly recommend buying this book before the price goes up.

Rag Men by Rocky Alexander, Suffer the Children by Craig DiLouie, and Tooth & Nail by DiLouie also. Can you name the next three books you will be reading? I’ll be reading a beta version of Jim LaVigne’s next book, and after that whatever happens to be on my Kindle (there’s a lot!). New author finds of 2013-2014 and those that you look forward to hearing more from? I started reading Laura Lippman’s crime drama novels in 2013 so I’m looking forward to her new stuff this year. Other than writing, what do you do? I do hot yoga, maintain a YouTube channel, and a little bit of cosplay. I’m also pretty dang good at baking and cooking. To be honest, I just graduated from Seattle University so “real life” is still sinking in. I work part time photographing handmade and benchmade knives. What’s do you think is the hardest thing about writing? Motivation. Some days I just don’t want to write, whether it’s because I don’t have any ideas or I’m suffering from writer’s block. Nowadays I’m better at forcing myself to write no matter what (you can always edit later), but it has always been a struggle for me ever since the beginning. Tell us about your latest book? Title: Pulse Brief run down in your own words: Pulse is about a mutated parasite that sweeps the nation. One of the side effects the parasite causes is for people to become deranged, usually extremely violent. The novel focuses on a few different character’s perspective as the infection takes hold of the country. Published by: I self-published this one. Release date: 02/09/14 Anything in particular that you want to say about it? Where did you get the inspiration from? Favourite characters? Tell us something unusual. This book was inspired by a very vivid dream I had about a parasite that eats you from the inside out. I had a really strong idea of how I wanted to write a book about it, but I felt conflicted because I knew I needed to write the last book in my Cyrus V. Sinclair trilogy. A friend at a convention told me I needed to give in, knock the book out, so I could put all my energy into the last book. I followed his advice and am extremely happy I did. What are you working on next and when can we expect to get our greedy little mitts on it? As of today, I’m 85% done with the first draft of the last book in my trilogy! Woot! I can’t guarantee an exact date, but probably next year. Blurb For Pulse
Excerpt & Book Cover For Pulse
As always happy reading! Claire ♥ ![]() Way back last year I stumbled across another writer who mentioned they were doing a charity anthology. 'What's that?' I said, 'A zombie anthology purely for charity?' Well of course, I did everything I could to get in contact with the man putting it together, the wonderful T.W.Brown. He said yes straight away and I set about writing my story. You see, I've always believed that you have to give back as much as you can in this world. You never know what is going to happen from one day to the next, and Cancer, that really ugly word right there is so much more than just a word to thousands and thousands of people. It's a death sentence. It's change. It's loss. It's suffering. I've been touched by cancer, both near and far, and each time I'm struck down by how brave people can be. I'm in awe of them. So this is me, doing what I can to help them fight, and with your help, I know it will make a huge difference. So buy the book, enjoy the stories by some of the most amazing zombie and horror talent around, spread the word, share the links and leave reviews. Every one of those things makes a difference, because every book we sell is more money to fight this. So let's fight this together. One last thing... Cancer, we're coming to get YOU! Buy your gore-fest here: UK links: Lets Scare Cancer To Death Ebook Lets Scare Cancer To Death Paperback USA links: Lets Scare Cancer To Death Ebook Lets Scare Cancer To Death Paperback Anthology Blurb: Cancer. For millions, there is no word that instils more fear. It is about time to give some payback. Enter a cadre of talented authors with a common purpose: to SCARE cancer to death. Okay, the premise may seem silly, but the truth is that these writers have all given their stories freely in hopes that you will be enticed to come check out this anthology. Every penny generated will be given in a quarterly check to The V Foundation for Cancer Research https://www.jimmyv.org. So, when you purchase this book, you are tossing your hat in the ring with people who are out to eradicate a killer that has touched far too many lives. Join us, and Let's Scare Cancer to Death!

*** Feel proud because you helped that happen *** As always happy reading! Claire ♥ Yeah, you read it right. A double-whammy cover reveal. Two of my favourite authors decided to have kick-ass covers at the same time, so I thought what better way to celebrate the fact than to have both of them reveal all on my blog? Oooh err, not that kind of reveal! Though I'm sure if you ask them both nicely... ![]() First up, meet Jack Wallen. Jack's been writing books for a long time, as you can see from his long list of books, but he's actually relatively new to me. I met him through a group last year and I haven't been able to put down his books since. HIs fans call him the Zombie King, and I can see why. Jack Wallen is a seeker of truth and a writer of words. Although he resides in the unlikely city of Louisville, Kentucky, he likes to think of himself more as an interplanetary soul … or so he tells the reflection in the mirror. He's also the author of: I Zombie I My Zombie My Die Zombie Die Lie Zombie Lie Zombie Radio T-Minus Zero Hell's Muse Screampark Shero Shero II: Zombie A GoGo A Blade Away Gothica Endgame Klockwerk Kabaret If you want to receive an automatic email when Jack's next book is released, sign up here.

Find out more about Jack via the following links: Website Google+ Amazon Goodreads So if you're looking for a new series to sink those pretty teeth into, try out Jack. He has enough to keep you busy for a while, and I highly recommend him But now for one of the most awesomely original covers I've seen in a while. Be sure to add this to your Goodreads shelf. I was honoured to beta read it, and I LOVE IT! Jack Wallen's |
