Book Monster Promotions: Guest Post and Giveaway with Gabrielle Bisset



I am so excited to have Gabrielle visiting BLH again, please give her a warm welcome.. 

Thanks for having me here today at Book Lovers Hideaway! I'm touring blogs all month with Book Monster Promotions talking about my Sons of Navarus series in preparation for the 4th novel in the series, Blood Prophecy, which is coming May 14, 2013. For readers who've followed the Sons from the beginning, it will be a real turning point, and for readers who haven't begun the series yet, there's more than enough time to get lost in the Sons' world.

When I set out to write a series about eight vampire warriors, I wanted to create one that readers would fall in love with. With that in mind, I decided that each book's hero would be different. The result is eight heroes each with his unique style and flavor. There's Vasilije, the hedonist who lives for pleasure; Saint, the tortured, brooding hero; Terek, the mystical and spiritual hero and warrior for his kind. Then there are Ramiel, the violent Son, and Thane, the gentle giant who together with Ramiel must decipher the Prophecy of Idolas to save the vampire world from Archon takeover. Sion is the brainy, quiet Son with a past that still haunts him, while Dante is the youngest Son and the joker of the group. Finally, there is Nico, the oldest Son and not what he appears to be.

The key to each book being different is the focus on the little things that make each Son unique. That means for one choosing a setting that fits each one's style and personality. So Vasilije, the decadent hedonist who lives to enjoy life, has his story, Blood Avenged, set in New Orleans, a wonderfully sultry and sexy city so full of pleasure. No one would ever mistake his book with Saint's book, Blood Betrayed, which is very much his character. Saint is distant and defensive, so his book is set in the French countryside, away from everything, and the town of Avignon, a walled city in France. Now Terek is the most seductive of all the Sons while at the same time being the most spiritual, so Spain and Morocco are perfect settings for this former Catholic monk and vampire who studied Islam while at the same time has sired thousands of female vampires who view him almost as a god. Blood Spirit is very much like Terek—seductive but mystical.

 With Blood Prophecy, readers will instantly see that the setting of Rome matches the violent and dominant Son Ramiel's personality. Centuries of conquering made Rome the most powerful city in the most powerful empire on the planet. While Rome may be less aggressive today, it fits the character of Ramiel perfectly. It's also the perfect setting for the major turning point in the series.

 For some, writing may be something that works only on the surface, but my stories always have deeper meanings for those that choose to see them. While they work on the romantic and erotic level, they also work on other levels too.

Thanks again for having me here today! Readers can grab the first five chapters of Blood Prophecy for FREE as they wait for the May 14th release of the full book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 

I'm a UF/PNR author and my newest releases are Blood Spirit, the third book in my new series Sons of Navarus, and the Sons short stories Longing and The Deepest Cut. For me, a book does more than just tell a story. It transports readers away from their daily lives to another place where they can be a part of something different than the common and everyday. I'm always so touched when readers tell me they felt like they were a part of the story when they read my books.

When I'm not writing, I can be found reading romance novels but often mysteries, cookbooks, and anything dealing with ancient and medieval history and European history, in general. I also love the outdoors, so I enjoy the wonderful weather Pennsylvania has to offer. I live there with my son and a herd of pets.

Excerpt from Blood Avenged:


Vasilije looked around the room he’d just appeared in, his body alert to any danger. He’d followed the sense he’d gotten before Teagan’s spirit had been extinguished and knew he was in his home in New Orleans. Everything about the place was Teagan—from the Turkish cigarettes he smoked, to the bottle of Guinness that sat on the coffee table, to the musky scent that identified him as one of Vasilije’s vampires.

And the beautiful woman staring at him.

“Who did this?” Vasilije demanded.

Big brown eyes stared back at him. “I don’t know. It happened so fast. I left to grab another six pack and when I got back, someone had a stake...”

Vasilije stood watching the stranger as she cried, needing more information but forced to wait until there was a break in her tears.

“Who are you?”

The woman dried her eyes and sniffled. “Sasa. I was his girlfriend.”

At the use of the past tense, she began tearing up again, but Vasilije didn’t have time for it. Whoever had staked Teagan couldn’t have gone too far and any more time wasted with Sasa’s crying may mean he’d lose the fucker.

He moved to leave and her hand caught his arm.

“Please don’t go.”

She looked up at him with such a sad expression for a moment he didn’t want to go. But he couldn’t let Teagan’s murderer escape. Vasilije touched his hand to hers to remove it from his arm, but all this did was make her squeeze tighter.

“Please,” she begged in a voice that matched the pathetic look in her eyes. “Don’t leave me alone now.”

The urge to tear his arm from her hold and leave her to her misery spiked in him, but it was overruled by that small part of him that understood her sadness.

“Fine. Follow me. And keep up. And if I tell you to do something, do it. Do you understand?”

For a second, she looked surprised, and Vasilije thought he was going to hear a string of irritating questions. None came, though, and when he turned to head out the door, she followed silently.

At the street, he stopped and inhaled deeply, hoping to sense something that would help him find Teagan’s killer. Nothing came. But there’d been something in the apartment...something that he was sure he recognized.

Eyes closed, he let his other senses take over, but he got nothing. “What did he look like?”

“I don’t know. It was so quick. Blond, I think.”

Vasilije snapped his head to the left to look at her. “Man or woman?”

Instantly, Tatiana’s threat repeated in his head. Now I take something you cherish. Had she staked one of his vampires in retaliation over Alex? Vasilije doubted even Tatiana would stake a vampire herself, but she wasn’t above having someone else do it.

 “Man.”

That didn’t mean Tatiana wasn’t behind Teagan’s murder. And who was this woman who claimed to be Teagan’s girlfriend?

“Did you see which direction he ran?”

Sasa shook her head sadly. “No, I’m sorry. Are you his sire?” “

How do you know about that?” he asked, more suspicious than he’d been just a minute earlier.

“Teagan was a vampire, and you just look like a sire would. That’s what you call them, right?”

 As she spoke, Vasilije studied her under the streetlight’s glow, still unsure she was who she claimed to be. Not bad looking, she seemed like someone Teagan could like. He’d always preferred brunettes with big eyes and bigger tits, and although she didn’t measure up to porn star level, she still had a nice body. He could see her as Teagan’s girlfriend.

Book Description: 

RAPHAEL 

The brilliant and dangerous diplomat of the Pantera shapeshifters, Raphael has devoted his life to discovering the key to the infertility that is threatening the extinction of his puma race. Creating a vast network of spies worldwide, he never expected to discover that the answer might be beneath his very nose. But when Ashe, a beautiful human female, crosses his path, his most primitive instincts are stirred. Unable to resist, he takes her to his bed, and is shocked when she becomes pregnant with his child. It's a miracle that might prove to be the salvation of his people, but only if he can keep her safe from the mercenaries determined to kill her.

PARISH

Untamed and undeniably sexy, Parish, leader of the Pantera hunters, rarely leaves the magic of the Wildlands to deal with the humans he despises. But with the prized and risky Pantera birth on the way, puma shifter, Parish must travel to New Orleans to find and bring back a human doctor. The moment he sees the lovely, talented and all too human Dr. Julia Cabot he cannot resist the wild, potent drive to make her his. Betrayed and destroyed by love, Julia will not let her heart choose her path again. But as she and Parish fight to save the life of an unborn child, a fierce and overwhelming bond develops between them, threatening her frozen heart with the secret hope and ultimate temptation of love and family.

Word Count: 40,000 words

This new series of double novellas are set in the world of the Bayou Wildlands. It contains hot, sexy shapeshifters, graphic language and adult themes. Now that you're warned, we hope you enjoy!


Review:
 I can say that individually these authors are awesome, but you put them together and you have magic. I devoured Raphael's story so fast I think I had barely time to let soak in this wonderfully, steamy short story. I almost immediately fell in love with Raphael. He is definitely is my type of guy, pure sexy alpha male.

For as short as this book is, I completely could feel Ashe's heartache and pain regarding her family or rather her treatment by them. Make sure you have the a/c on too while you read this because you definitely will need something to cool you off when you finish.

I am so torn here, I thought Raphael won me over but Parish I think stole my heart.  He is grouchy, gruff, tortured (I think that's what did it, I am a such a sucker for a tortured hero) and ever so sexy too.  I honestly cannot not say which story I loved more, in fact I know I can't. Raphael and Parish are somewhat the same but different and their mates as well. Both girls, whom I just adore, have heartbreak in their lives, before meeting these sexy shifters. 

These authors did a fabulous job in such a short period of time of grabbing me and not letting go until the stories ended, even now I crave more. I will be diving into the Bayon/Jean Baptiste's as soon as I finish this review .. I have a feeling I will be come more addicted with the Pantera and all these sexy shifters. 

If you have yet to read this, do so right now, seriously it is such a fast read you won't even know what time it is until you are finished. One last thing I must say, if I could have rated this higher I would have.

Book Description:

 As a war wages between the immortals of Atlantis and those of the vampire realm, a Poseidon warrior fights to save his world—and the woman he loves. And no risk is too great. 

The desires of a high priest.

Alaric, Poseidon’s High Priest, has made a vow to Quinn, the woman he loves and the leader of the Resistance: to save her friend Jack before his last bit of humanity has been drained. Should Alaric succeed, there’s one intimate danger: he may lose Quinn to the love of the man whose life he saved. But damn Atlantis to the nine hells, he’s willing to put Quinn’s wishes first, regardless of the consequences.

The warning of a threat reborn. 

The final jewel of Poseidon’s trident has turned up in the hands of mysterious Ptolemy Reborn, who claims to be descended from Atlantean royalty. He’s about to reveal to the world that Atlantis is real, positioning himself as king. But this magical terrorist is bent on chaos. The only warrior who can stop him is following his own path, driven by the even more powerful force of love. Atlantean powers over the sea could prove just as cataclysmic—for Quinn’s love, Alaric might drown the entire world.



 Review: 
I stumbled onto this series a few years back with Conlan's book and I have been hopelessly addicted ever since and like the rest I have been waiting on pins and needles for Alaric's book since he was first introduced in this series. Now that this series is over I am left with a sense of sadness and loss. These characters were like family and it feels like I have moved halfway across the world and will not see them again.  I laughed, cried, screamed my way through this series and now that it's over what will I do with my time. 

I guess you can figure out I did love this book, though very much a bittersweet moment now that it is over.  I can say though with a smile on my face, FINALLY!!  If any of you have read this series you would know exactly what I am talking about. And for those who haven't please check these books out. they rock!

Alaric, my favorite moody high priest what can I say about him really, just that I am so happy things did work out.  And Quinn love her so much, we got her sarcasm, which I love, but we also got to see her vunerable side too, which was very very nice to see.  We also get to see the whole gang again, which brought a huge smile on my face and lastly Jack, yes!! and I can't say much more than that I really don't want to give anything away.

This book was a perfect ending to such a fabulous series and though I am sad to see it end technically (she has a couple novellas yet , I believe she said 2, Denal being one of them) and a spin off with Jack.. I hope she continues with the next generation because I just love these characters and their stories and want more.. yes I am greedy like that... I just don't want it too end..

So if you haven't read this series please I urge you again to do so.. You will fall in love with Atlantis as much I have..  Meanwhile I preordered book 1 in her new series and can't wait to see what world Alyssa Day will captivate me this time.

Once Upon a Zombie Apocalypse ~ 
Kylee K.B. Miller 

Blurb 

 Chemical Warfare has turned most of the world’s population into flesh eating Zombies. These are the accounts of two survivors.

Kylee and Jade are on their way from one author convention to another. After saying goodbye to all their friends, they never dreamed the plane would land with them fighting for their lives.

Kylee Mahafferty lived a life of luxury, jet setting to big cities around the globe, high dollar shopping sprees, and downing copious amounts of her favorite fu-fu-non-fat lattes'. But, that life's suddenly been replaced by one with a simple objective, survival. Kylee's best friend, Jade is the only thing holding together the slippery tendrils of her unraveling mind.

With their first mission being to find their families, will the girls manage to save their families while trying to save each other?

 Excerpt 

August 2, 2013

Just a few days ago, my biggest worries in life were whether, or not I was spending enough time with my family, and if my doctor was going to shit a brick again because of my caffeine habit. Sweet Jesus, what a difference a day makes.

I'd never fed into all of that end-of-the-world doomsday nonsense my best friend, and co-author, Jade used to go on about. I mean, it was all just fodder for the fantasy stories that we wrote; Aliens raining down from the skies to take over the world, beautiful creatures lurking in the shadows of the night to suck the very life from you, or my personal favorite... gorgeous, shirtless angels falling from grace to save the damsel in distresses soul from an eternity in purgatory. None of that was real though, right? Yeah... that's what I thought up until two days ago when all hell broke loose.

Thankfully she and I were together, headed to another book convention when it all started. Unfortunately, we were separated from our families by hundreds and thousands of miles. Getting home is our first priority. Killing as many of those "things" as we can is just a bonus.

Jade and I made an agreement, because we earned our living telling stories, we're going to document our journey by putting pen to paper. That way, if the unthinkable happens and we don't survive this insane new world─ our stories will. They'll be timeless... gross and graphic, but timeless.

Our nightmare has only just begun, and we've already been through the mill, but I have no doubt that the road ahead will be paved in endless fear, terrifying anguish, mind-shattering pain, and more of those creatures... those zombies. I'm petrified at how this could end.

May God be with all of us and keep us safe. P.S. Coffee sucks during the apocalypse!

Once Upon a Zombie Apocalypse ~Jade 
Jennifer Malone Wright 

Blurb 

 Chemical Warfare has turned most of the world’s population into flesh eating Zombies. These are the accounts of two survivors.

Kylee and Jade are on their way from one author convention to another. After saying goodbye to all their friends, they never dreamed the plane would land with them fighting for their lives.

Jade Warwick has been preparing for the end of the world for years, but she never thought the world would end with zombies. The only thing salvaging her almost lost sanity is the fact that she is with her best friend, Kylee .

With their first mission being to find their families, will the girls manage to save their families while trying to save each other?

 Excerpt 

I always knew the world was going to go to shit, I just never thought it would be this way.

The part that pisses me off the most is that people like me aren’t supposed to be surprised when the shit hits the fan. I have been preparing for the next world war or natural disaster to happen. But never, ever in my wildest dreams did I actually think that mankind would end with zombies.

It’s so ironic. As writers, we create these horror stories for others to read about. All of it is simply fiction, stories that rot our minds and entertain us, but are never really a possibility.

When it happened, Kylee and I were together, thank God, and we managed to survive the first day. We promised each other that we would document the days of our journey so that our words would become immortal … because we are not. No one is safe now. Anybody can turn if they aren’t careful. The zombies aren’t our only fear either. The people have become something just as bad, maybe even worse. When disasters happen, people lose their humanity as the will to live drives them into survival mode. I’ve seen enough TV shows and read enough books to know what happens to people, but that is something to worry about later. Right now, my only purpose is to find my family. Well, we kind of have to find Kylee’s family first because they are closer, but still, the mission remains the same.

I don’t have a clue how we are going to do this. My preparations included shelter, food, water, and weapons. They never included my being on a freaking airplane and landing on a side of the country that I’ve never even been to. I have nothing, nothing that I expected to have when this happened.

Our journey has only begun. I’m just glad that I’m not alone.

EXCERPT The last time I was here in Subjack's tunnels pops back into my mind. The day I met Gideon again after being separated for years, back when I was still tucking down those memories. He was acting the same way with me then, exasperated with my detached attitude."--I don't want you to start any shit in here, got it?" "Why would I start shit, Gid? I'm not a complete psychopath." He stares down at me, his eyes darting back and forth as he searches mine, then blinks and straightens up. "OK, whatever then. No scenes." I shrug. Why would I create a scene? The biometrics on the door are triggered by someone on the other side and it slips open with a perfunctory whoosh. When I look into the new room, Tier is staring down at me and I lunge at him, clasping my hands around his throat. "You asshole, how dare you come here!" More words are spewing out of my mouth, 'fuck' mostly, 'bastard' and 'dickhead' put in several appearances, and then we're wrestling on the ground. I've got my foot wrapped around his neck and he's trying to grab my hands as Gideon pulls on me. I swing back with an elbow and crack Gid hard in the chin and he growls. My pretty flower dress is picking up little dust bunnies and all sorts of other debris as we roll around on the floor but I could give a shit. "How dare you," I growl as I lean down into Tier's ear. "How dare you show your face to me again!" "Junco!" he commands me as he squirms. "Calm the fuck down! That's an order!" I wriggle out of his grip and swing my foot around, slap him in the face with it, and then flip over and crack him once in the neck. "Fuck you and your orders, you prick." His hands scramble to grab me by the waist, then slip up my dress and I remember I'm hiding something. Something he's not supposed to know about. I stop my struggle for a brief moment, hoping his hands will stop, but they don't. They slide right up and find my secret. And then he lets go and pushes me off him.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR J. A. Huss likes to write new adult books that make you think and keep you guessing. Her favorite genre to read is space opera, but since practically no one reads those books, she writes new adult science fiction, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, urban fantasy, and books about Junco (who refuses to be saddled with a label). She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really-Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master's degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers.
