Release Day Blast ~ Conquered by Tyffani Clark Kemp
Conquered
LeKrista Scott, Vampire Hunted Series # 3
By- Tyffani Clark Kemp
Publication Date- August 15th, 2014
LeKrista never thought Roman would kidnap her, but it seems there's no depth to which he won't stoop. She's stuck in a fortress in the middle of only God knows where with no way to contact her family or her new fiance and let them know she's alright.
To add insult to injury, Roman has brought her arch nemesis to keep her company. Forced to make friends with Eddy, the man who has made her life miserable for years, she bides her time until a rescue can be arranged.
But unrealized feelings for her vampire captor make things complicated. Or perhaps it's Stockholm Syndrome. She can't really be sure.
Just to make matters worse, the vampires are ready to go through with their plan to rule the world with an iron fang, and once again, she's caught in the middle of the war for power. The truth of her involvement is becoming clear, but she may lose more than her freedom in her quest to stop the the powerful undead on her own.
About the Author-
Tyffani Clark Kemp has been writing since she discovered in the sixth grade that it wasn't enough just to read about fantastic places, but she could create her own. She weaves small bits of herself into everything she writes whether it be a science fiction piece about aliens or a dramatic romance fraught with conflict and love. In September 2012 Tyffani and a friend started SideStreet Publishing LLC. She lives in South Carolina with her family and her fluffy shii tzu-mix dog who thinks he's a Saint Bernard.

Three teens venture into the abandoned lake house one night; hours later, only two emerge from the burning wreckage.

Desperate self-defense?
Or murder?

Early Praise
Dangerous Boys is a taut, compelling thriller balanced on the razor's edge of suspense. I could not put it down, and could not stop grinning wickedly as I raced through the pages." -- Leah Raeder, USA Today bestselling author of Unteachable
"Abigail Hass is a master at her craft! This is a special book and a special author. This is the kind of storytelling and writing that stick with you no matter how much time passes." -- The Book Geek Blog
"As with Dangerous Girls, the closing left me with a huge, admittedly rather twisted smile on my face. I don't know how Haas manages to turn me into such a gleefully evil creature." -- Dahlia Adler, blogger.
"Dangerous Boys was an intense, psychological read which was full of suspense and drama,...Abigail Haas has a way of writing books which reel you in and keep you there, hooked and addicted until the very last page." -- Goodreads.com

Author: Ednah Walters
Release Date: April 28th 2014
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Firetrail Publishing
BLURB
I love Torin St. James...
I crave his touch...
I need his strength...
Raine Cooper is certain of two things: her love for Torin St. James and her destiny to be a powerful seeress. But when she starts having premonitions, they are unclear and disturbing. Worse, they involve Torin. Not sure what to do, she keeps quiet.
But when the visions are about her and another man, Raine realizes she needs to talk to someone. Just her luck two new students arrive at her school and they seem to have answers. When with them, her powers are enhanced and her visions become clear. There is only one problem: Torin does not want Raine to have anything to do with the two girls but he won't explain why.
Can their love survive the secrets they are keeping from each other?
EXCERPT (RAINE & ANDRIS)
“Did you know I was different when we
first met?”
“Fishing for complements now?”
“No, wondering if you noticed
something different about me, smart ass. Ingrid and Maliina did.” I faced
forward and sighed. “Ingrid said witches can recognize each other.”
Andris shuddered. “Don’t talk to me
about witches.”
“What is it with you guys and witches?
Torin reacted the same way.” I noticed we were headed east toward my place.
“You’re really not going to buy me a macchiato?”
“Got that right, but since I’m such a
nice guy, I’ll go back to town and pick up your favorite. Extra large.”
I frowned. “Sounds like you don’t
want to be seen with me.”
“No, I don’t. You’ll mess with my
game. I’m single and on the prowl. Besides, you have papers for your father to
sign and you want to catch him lucid.”
He was right, dang it. “How did you
know about the forms?”
“Vulcan hearing.”
I rolled my eyes. He was a serious
sci-fi fan. Movies. Books. TV series. He ate it up. Of course, he’d never admit
it to anyone but those closest to him. He pulled into our cul-de-sac. My eyes
went to Torin’s place. The house was closed up.
“Where did you say Torin went?”
“I didn’t.” Andris pulled up in front
of my house. “He’ll be back before you know it, so go hug his pillow or
something.” He ducked when I aimed my backpack at his head.

Praise for the Seeress
…suspenseful, dramatic and exciting… Raine is surrounded by the most wonderful little group of people, all willing to support her. Even though they are not all related by blood, the love and sense of family is something beautiful… YA Book Addict
After reading Grimnirs I thought this series couldn’t get any better. Boy, I was wrong. Seeress put the bar really high for the next books in the series… Ruty @ReadingDreaming
"Seeress" is the third book of the Runes Series and it's just as good as its predecessors. The book with its Norse Mythology background and great characters (Raine, Torin, Echo, Cora, Andris, Ingrid....) just sucks you… Stacey M. Cook Amazon reviewer
I swooned, cried, laughed, fretted and cheered. I was guessing with each turn of events. Totally brilliant.… Maureen "I am a 40 something year old female that still loves young adult fiction”

Interview
How long have you been writing?
Quite a long time! I
discovered that I liked to write back in my early high school days, but like a
lot of people I put my dreams aside to pursue a more “serious” career that
would supply a regular paycheck. Then, seventeen years ago I discovered some
authors whose “voices” I loved, and I decided that I’d put my dream on hold for
long enough. I took lots of classes, attended lots of writing conferences, and
now (finally!) my dream of becoming a published author of the type of stories
that I enjoy reading has come true.
What made you like to write?
I was rather shy back in
school, but once my teachers started encouraging me to express myself in my
writing, I think something sparked – a “yes, I can do this” kind of feeling.
From speaking with a number of other authors I know we can be an insecure lot and
often vacillate between feelings of “I can do this” and “what made me think I
could ever do this?” But it was that initial spark that stuck with me, plus my
love of stories that made me want to write.
Who is your favorite author and why?
Oh my, I have a long list of
favorites. I love Janet Evanovich for her humor and for creating characters who
I view as friends. Linda Howard for her storytelling and her fabulous
characters. Other favorites: JA Konrath, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Ann Charles.
My list could go on and on.
What are your favorite things to do besides
writing?
I’m a huge football fan (go
Seahawks!) so if the Seahawks are playing my butt is planted in my seat at the
game or in front of the tube. Other than that I don’t watch a lot of TV with
the exception of Castle and Game of Thrones. When I’m not on a book-related deadline,
my husband and I like to travel. Our goal over the next few years is to visit
every state in the U.S., that is, when we’re not doting on our new
granddaughter!
What is your favorite scene to write?
My favorite scenes are ones
in which I can mine for humor. My Working Stiffs Mystery series is populated
with a number of opinionated oldsters who I love, a hunky cop/boyfriend, and a
high maintenance, B-list actress/mother. Charmaine, my sleuth, interacts with
them all, much to my delight. Truly, whenever she’s in a scene with one of
these characters, I’m smiling as I write.
Who designed the book cover?
Adam Linstad, my talented
cover artist, takes the bones of my ideas for the cover and then transforms
them into a fun story image. I love his artwork and am thrilled to have him
design my covers.
Who is your favorite character in your book and why?
Like a proud mom I love all
my “children,” but if I can only pick one it has to be Charmaine Digby. I think
she’s smart and funny, and she has a sense of daring that I envy. Maybe that’s
why she’s the sleuth and I’m the writer. LOL!
When did you start writing?
I got serious about writing
in 1997. Then, eight years ago I became especially serious about writing cozy
mysteries. Soon after I met a “human lie detector” online, I started developing
Charmaine’s character and realized I had a sleuth I would enjoy working with
for many years, and the Working Stiffs Mystery series was born!
How many books did you write before you were
published?
I wrote three books along
with dozens of story partials that never got off the ground. I learned lessons
from all of them—sometimes the valuable lesson of what not to do! But during
this process I discovered that the activity of writing is a lot like physical exercise
to build muscle. So, I like to think of the time that I invested prior to writing
Trudy, Madly, Deeply (book one in my series) as building writing muscle. And
it’s a good thing because I expect to be writing Working Stiffs cozy mysteries
well into my dotage and who needs literary osteoporosis!?!
Thank you, Kelly, for the fun
interview questions! I always love to chat about writing and the writing
process.
