Blog Tour: Love Redeemed by Tich Brewster!


Title: Love Redeemed
Author: Tich Brewster
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Pennedit
Cover Artist: Sprinkles on Top Studios
Release Date: 9/23/13 


Life is simple.

Cassie is content with what she has, a great job and wonderful friends. Everything is perfect…until Ryder appears.  She still has not forgiven him for choosing music over her eight years ago.

Ryder is a rock star, living the life he had always dreamed of.  He is not searching for love because who has time for that when you're constantly on the road.  But then his tour ends and he decides to go back home and visit an old friend.

When those old feelings resurface, will they be able to forgive and start anew?



Tich is an Oklahoma resident and the mother of five.  Her passion for reading started at an early age when her Aunt Vicky gave her the novel Heidi for Christmas.  She didn’t start writing until middle school, after being inspired by her best friend’s short stories. “Genny’s stories weren’t just great but they inspired me to put my pen and paper to good use.”  Tich never thought of publishing her works until working with Teresa on the Royal Blood series.

Tell my fans a little bit about yourself and your books.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma.  I stay up entirely too late watching TV or reading.  I love all genre of music but listen to a lot of Bon Jovi and Bruno Mars.  Some of my favorite things are butterflies, purple/pink, candles, SyFy’s FaceOff, and WWE.

I’ve been writing since I was in the 7th grade.  I’m an extremely shy girl so I always kept my stories hidden in notebooks until they made their way to the trash.  It wasn’t until 2009 when my BFF Teresa Fuentez talked me into writing the Royal Blood series with her that I came out of my shell.


How many books have you written?  What are their titles?

I have five books published.
Forgiven – YA novella
Devada (book 1 in the Angels & Demons series) – YA Paranormal
Love Redeemed – Contemporary Romance
Princesses of the Night (book 1 in the Royal Blood series) – NA Paranormal
Hold Fast (book 2 in the Royal Blood series) – NA Paranormal



What do you enjoy doing when you’re not writing?


When I’m not writing I spend time with my family, I have five kids.  We enjoy attending the high school football games, movies, concerts…just to name a few.


What advice would you give to an aspiring author?


Don’t give up!  Writing is not an easy task.  You’ll become discouraged along the way, we all do.  The important thing for you at that point is to surround yourself around those that will lift you up.  Ignore all naysayers.

Connect with authors and bloggers, they will be your support along the way.


What’s your favorite scene/line from your works?


Devada: “What?  These?”  She nodded.  “They’re fruit of the gods,” – Raum

Love Redeemed: “You’re lucky that I’m starving and these are delicious, otherwise you’d be wearing some Kung Pao chicken in your hair.” – Ryder


What's the hardest thing about writing?  The easiest?


For me, the hardest part about writing is finding enough quiet time to concentrate on my story.  The easiest would have to be editing.  I love editing.


What are you currently reading?


Um…at this time I am reading Love Redeemed.  Not sure what I’ll be reading once all of my edits are done.

What are you currently working on?

I am working on the third book in the Royal Blood series with Teresa.  I also have another romance I’m writing and a secret project.  *evil grin*


What books did you read as a child?


The first book I read was Heidi.  Other than that book, most of the books I read as a kid were thrillers.

What genre is your favorite to read?

I read mostly Paranormal but I love all romance, thrillers, and good Christian fiction.


How has your life changed since you began writing?


How has my life changed?  Well, my kids might tell you that I’m just a little crazier than I was before.  Lol.  I spend a lot of my time talking with my characters; it helps me to create scenes.

Writing has changed me quite a bit.  I am not nearly as shy as I once was.  I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone in the last couple of years.  And that is a good thing because I have gained confidence.

Do you listen to music while you write?

I do.  Mostly 80s and 90s music.


What's been your favorite moment as an author?


The day that my kids said “Momma, you’re an author.  That’s really cool.”


Out of all of your characters, who is your favorite?


Do I have to choose?  I guess my top favorite would have to be Ryder (Love Redeemed)



You’re stranded on a desert island. What books do you take with you?

Twilight.  *sees that look you just gave me* Hey, don’t judge me.  ;)


Where can fans find you?

Cover Reveal: Grimnirs by Ednah Walters!



Book Title: Grimnirs
Series: A Runes Novel
Author: Ednah Walters
Release Date: December 2nd 2013
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Firetrail Publishing
Presented by: Twisted Book Tours and More & As You Wish Tours
Banner Made by: Camelia Miron Skiba

 
One lost love.
One lost best friend.
One hot soul reaper.
Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.

The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.

Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.

Book Blitz: Lily of the Valley by Sarah Daltry!





18+ New Adult romance

You met them in Forget Me Not. Now, hear Jack’s story.
Plagued by a dark past, Jack sees college as a way out. Desperate to escape the area where he grew up, the people who know his secrets, and his own family, he deals with his problems through alcohol and sex.
When he first sees Lily, she’s the epitome of everything he hates. Yet something about her makes Jack rethink everything he knows and assumes about other people. Now, with the help of his best friend and lover, Jack has to decide if he wants to pursue something that he knows will only end badly.
Can Lily be one of the few people who can see Jack for who he really is – or will his darkness be too much for her to handle?

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lily-of-the-Valley-ebook/dp/B00F5MN7H6/ref=la_B00BVV0F5W_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1379262793&sr=1-3
Paperback: https://www.createspace.com/4411185




Sarah Daltry writes erotica and romance that ranges from sweet to steamy. She moves around a lot and has trouble committing to things. Lily of the Valley is her third full length novel, although she also has several story collections and two novellas available. Her other novels are Forget Me Not, the story that tells Lily’s version of events, and Bitter Fruits, which was available shortly, but is now in the contract phase with a major publisher. When Sarah isn’t writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking Facebook for pictures of cats, shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out the window.

At work, though, the people are real. Both the customers and the staff. During the busy times, we get more douchebags, mostly my classmates who probably should be in the library and not eating a hangover away. Mal is also on this morning. He’s a recovering alcoholic, a total asshole to nearly everyone, and an incredibly shitty employee in a lot of ways. But the dude can cook and when I walk in a couple minutes late with no explanation, Mal just shrugs and hands me an order.
“Big parties last night?”
“Huge party. I spent the night reading Dostoevsky.”
“He a scientist?” Mal flips over the largest slab of ham I have ever seen. For all the sort of dive element of this place, the food is still fucking great.
“Yeah, something like that.”
“Eh. Never cared for all that mumbo jumbo. Don’t know any of it and I’m doing just fine.”
That’s something else I admire about Mal. By no one’s standards is he doing just fine. He has a tendency to fall off the wagon as soon as he approaches his ten month anniversary – which he has been doing for likely longer than I have been alive. He’s been married and divorced five times. He has three kids who don’t speak to him. Finally, he only eats the food from the café and he lives in a motel out by the prison. Oh – and he works as a short order cook in a shitty café. But in his mind, life is just fine. Sometimes, I think I need to get a hold of whatever it is that keeps him from losing his shit.
We settle into our routine, since there is little Mal and I can talk about. I can’t discuss Raskolnikov’s character traits and Mal simply has nothing to say. So we cook in silence, but it’s comfortable. After everything I have been through, I feel a strange affinity for this place. Even thinking about leaving when I eventually get the hell out of town makes me a little sad. I hate that it makes me sad. I want to leave with no connections, with no strings.
I go to stick an order on the counter for Liz when I see her. Strawberries. She’s with some dude, who is basically what I pictured when she mentioned her boyfriend. Broad, tan, blond, and eating like a fucking pig. I don’t know what they’re talking about and I can’t see her face, but he loves her. It’s immediately recognizable and I hate him for it. I don’t even know why I hate him for it, since at least maybe he’s not as much of a dick as I would have expected. If we had been placing bets, I would have gone with the safe assumption he had something else on the side to make up for having such a sweet and pure girlfriend. I wonder if maybe she isn’t as innocent as she looks. The thought makes me horny again. I don’t get what is so damn attractive about this typical girl, but something makes me want to taste every inch of her skin.

Release Day Blast: Then, Now, Forever by Teodora Kostova!



Then
 Gia had let Beppe into her life so easily, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She’d held him when he’d hurt so badly he’d thought he might die; she’d talked him down when he’d been so angry he’d considered doing something he’d regret for the rest of his life.
 Gia had saved his life.
At least once he needed to be strong for her.
This right now, this moment, was theirs. It belonged to them, not to abusive or dead fathers, not to guilt, regret or sorrow, not to the past or the future.
But will their love survive when tragedy separates them?
“I have to go, Gia. I’m tired and I feel empty. I know you need me, but I have nothing left to give you. I need to heal.”
“I miss you so much it’s hard to breathe.”
Now
Beppe was still Gia’s closest friend. But they’d never be anything more than that again. Remembering what it felt like to have the person you love most in the world torn away from you still hurt. Gia was determined never to be put into that position again.
There was never lack of love, but can Beppe win Gia’s trust again?
 
Forever
“When I was broken you gave me pieces of yourself and made me whole again.”



Hi, my name is Teodora and I live in London with my husband Ted and my son Jason. I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it became my full time job in 2010 when I decided that everything else I've tried bores me to death and I have to do what I've always wanted to do, but never had to guts to fully embrace. I've been a journalist, an editor, a personal assistant and an interior designer among another things, but as soon as the novelty of the new, exciting job wears off, I always go back to writing. Being twitchy, impatient, loud and hasty are not qualities that help a writer, because I have to sit alone, preferably still, and write for most of the day, but I absolutely love it. It's the only time that I'm truly at peace and the only thing I can do for more than ten minutes at a time - my son has a bigger attention span than me.
When I'm procrastinating, I like to go to the gym, cook Italian meals (and eat them), read, listen to rock music, watch indie movies and True Blood re-runs. Or, in the worst case scenario, get beaten at every Wii game by a six year old.

Cover Reveal: Seizing Fate by Heather Van Fleet!



Title: Seizing Fate (Predetermined Series: Book Two)
Author: Heather Van Fleet
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Romance
Release Day: October 8, 2013
Publisher: Sunshine Press
Reveal Host: Lady Amber's Tours



And you thought Emmy’s life was a hot mess before…
Jack’s gone off to Arizona with his brother, but for how long? Emmy doesn’t have a clue. In his place, though, is Zachary. The whiny, miserable, alpha wolf–boy who is more than ready to take on the duty of her mate/boyfriend — if she’d let him, that is. But the last thing Emmy wants is to deal with a boy who believes that the world should fall solely at his feet whenever he demands it.
But hey, at least her step–douche is gone, and her life is back to an almost normal sense, right?
Wrong again, Emmy’s life will never again be normal…
With her Uncle Prick in town and her best friend acting as secretive as ever, Emmy finds new challenges to overcome — challenges that no seventeen–year–old girl should ever have to deal with. For one thing, what is up with her dream–liaison status anyway? What does it mean, really? And why does her little brother have to go through it too? And then there’s her mom. The lady is acting a tad bit odd, to put it nicely. After all these years, she finally wants to step up and be a parental figure? Heck no! Emmy’s definitely not copacetic with that idea.
But with the bad, there’s got to be some good out there for her somewhere, right?
Add in the wolves, witches, drama, and lots of kisses and you get Emmy the Extraordinaire, the girl with strawberry–colored hair, and a chip on her shoulder. She’s finally on her way to finding out what her life and her future both have in store for her, even if the road to getting there is nowhere near as easy as she hoped it would be. But Emmy is tough, and more than ready to take on life with her bare hands.
It’s just too bad she’s madly, desperately, insanely in love with a boy who insists on making her life both a miserable hell and utter perfection at the same time.

Bella, as well as her older sisters Kelsey and Emma, are and always will be her greatest inspirations.

Pressure, fire, wetness, tongues — single words were all I could think as our mouths battled. God, I’d never been kissed like this before. Ever, and if we stopped, I’d die a happy woman from his lips touching mine alone. He tugged his hand into the back of my hair, pulling my chin upwards, yanking me towards him. I clawed at his shirt, ready to rip it from his massive body. I pulled at his jacket first, lowering it over his shoulders until it fell to the floor. The buttons jingled against the tile, scattering over our feet. Damn, if he didn’t care about his signature black coat falling apart, then I had to wonder what else I could get away with.

Cover Reveal: Azure by Chrystalla Thoma!


Azure
By-Chrystalla Thoma
Genre- New Adult Paranormal Romance
Publication Date- September 2nd, 2013


A terrible mistake haunts college student Olivia Spencer. To escape the past, she travels to the Mediterranean island of Crete, hoping for the courage to start anew.
By the sea, she meets sexy and enigmatic Kai. But there’s more to Kai than meets the eye — and nobody wants to talk about it. The locals shun him, accusing him of magic. Kai, apparently, belongs to the sea, no matter how crazy that sounds.
Kai isn’t free to be with her or live his own life, and this is how he will stay, unless Olivia can break his curse and save him — in doing so atoning for those she failed in the past.
NEW ADULT ROMANCE. Contains mature content. Ages 17+
AZURE (Drowning In You) is a stand-alone novel. No cliffhanger.

 



Chrystalla is Greek Cypriot (hence the strange name) and likes writing about bratty, angsty boys and spunky girls in fantasy and science-fiction worlds. She writes mainly for a young adult public but not only (heed the warnings!) 

She is juggling two series (the dystopian YA series "Elei's Chronicles" and the urban fantasy/paranormal romance "Boreal and John Grey") and preparing a non-fiction book about dragons of the world.
