Eye of the Tiger (A Redcliffe Novel) Book 4 #TheRedcliffeNovels

Jessica Stone used to be a normal human. Then she fell in love with a vampire, met his identical twin werewolf brother, and her life fell apart spectacularly. Meeting Detective Jack Mason, and his brother Danny, brought about a powerful change, and Jessica’s magic was released. Now, in Redcliffe book 4, she must learn to control her ethereal animal familiar, who lusts after the alpha werewolf, and will stop at nothing to use her human mistress as a tool... Or is that a weapon?

The Redcliffe novels series follow the adventures of bookshop owner Jessica Stone as she meets a man and falls in love, only to discover the hidden werewolf secrets of her close friends. That includes Simon Bunce, manager of the Ship Inn, who turns out to be lieutenant to the Redcliffe werewolf pack, and lover to the wolf alpha Danny Mason. He fights to protect his master from the ethereal animal familiar who threatens to claim their pack. Who knew the Cornish coast could be so deadly?

Excerpt:

            “I don’t know,” I replied, “Am I being naïve?”
            “Maybe,” Crystal said, “You still have a lot to learn about living with supernatural creatures. Actually, you have a lot to learn about being one, too.”

            I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

            “So, I take it one day at a time, then,” I said.

            Crystal nodded.

            “Yes,” she replied, “I think that is the best way to handle everything. Give Danny the space to mourn for his lost lieutenant, but don’t shut him out if he asks you for help. It will be uncomfortable, but I know you care about him and you cannot hide the fact. Your friendship is just a little more physical than it would be with another human.”

            I swallowed nervously.

            “You keep talking about us as non-human,” I said, “But I am still human, surely. I mean, yes I have this animal familiar living inside my subconscious somewhere, but physically I’m just a normal person, right?”

            Crystal stared straight at me, and in the soft lamp light of her living room her violet eyes seemed to glow like jewels. It was eerie, but she was incredibly beautiful in a frightening way. My breath caught in my throat as I stared at her, unable to look away.

            “You are both,” she replied, “You are human, yes, but you are a witch Jessica. If you take some time to study your craft, learn how to utilize your powers and those of your animal familiar, you will become far more than a mere human. But it takes time, patience, and lots of practice.”

            I nodded and a pang of excitement shot through me. It was almost like a voice inside my head was screaming for me to get on with it and discover what we were capable of. I didn’t know who the ‘we’ was. I knew that it was not Suri. It was yet another spiritual entity, and one that I did not have the strength to explore at this time. But maybe later, when everything had settled with Jack and Danny, I could explore my witchcraft and see where it took me.

            I returned home that night feeling a lot lighter in my heart and with a slightly clearer mind. Crystal couldn’t fix my problems, but she had certainly given me the advice I needed. I was no longer in the human world. I had to stop thinking like one, and I couldn’t keep hiding from Danny and the wolves. It was time to return to the Ship Inn.

Love Redeems (A Redcliffe Novel) Book 3 #TheRedcliffeNovels

Life has changed forever in Redcliffe, Cornwall. Jessica Stone used to be a normal, happy human. Now she is an angry, conflicted and confused witch. It all happened when she met Detective Jack Mason and his identical twin brother Danny. Jessica almost died twice, fell into a love triangle, and she became a murderer. Now she faces the ultimate challenge as she continues the fight to save the man she loves, while simultaneously struggling with her lust for his werewolf brother and their vampire friend. Can she survive, or will love finally end her life completely?

The Redcliffe novels series follow the adventures of bookshop owner Jessica Stone as she meets a man and falls in love, only to discover the hidden werewolf secrets of her close friends. That includes Simon Bunce, manager of the Ship Inn, who turns out to be lieutenant to the Redcliffe werewolf pack, and lover to the wolf alpha Danny Mason. He fights to protect his master from the ethereal animal familiar who threatens to claim their pack. Who knew the Cornish coast could be so deadly?

Excerpt:

“Of course we frighten the alpha,” she said scornfully, in my mind, “He is but a wolf. We are far superior. Allow me to demonstrate.”

            And she sprang forward without warning, heading straight for my body. I cried out, trying to move away from Danny and Simon, but I was too slow. My body convulsed as Suri merged her spirit with mine. I felt it happen, but I was powerless to react. I had no idea what I was dealing with. I was still just a witch in training. Opening my eyes, I turned slowly, searching for the alpha male. Danny was standing in the doorway, staring at me, his own power flaring, swirling around him in a delicious storm of turmoil. Licking my lips, I advanced upon him slowly, stalking my prey. My body felt lithe and supple, and while I still looked and walked like a human, I could feel a tail swishing behind me, and my muscles were that of the snow tiger. She was superimposed around my body, and both wolves could clearly see her.

            “Jessica,” Danny said, shaking his head, “Jessica, please don’t do this. Send her away. Fight her.”
            I laughed, and my voice sounded deep and throaty, ending in a growl.

            “I do not want to send her away,” I said, “I want to embrace her power. She is my tiger. We work together.”

            “You don’t mean that,” Danny replied, “Remember who I am.”
            “You are the alpha male,” I said, “You are worthy of our attention.”

            “Jessica,” Danny said, “I do not want to play with your tiger. I want you,” he paused, staring at me with glowing blue eyes, “Jessica, I want you.” He said again.

            I hesitated, mulling over his words. Something stirred within me, a memory of another man who looked identical to the alpha. The other man was not a wolf. He was dead.  I didn’t want a dead thing. I wanted heat, power, and life. I moved towards the alpha, my body preparing to pounce. My movements were smooth, agile and feline. I loved the way I moved, so graceful and delicate, so strong. I pounced.

Love Kills (A Redcliffe Novel) Book 2 #TheRedcliffeNovels

Love Kills is book 2 in the developing Redcliffe series. In the quiet Cornish seaside town of Redcliffe, Jessica Stone recovers from an horrific werewolf attack and comes to terms with revelations that her lover, Jack Mason, is a vampire, his brother, Danny, the werewolf pack leader, and her best friend, Simon, is a werewolf.  Add to that her discovery that she is a witch, and life is suddenly a whole lot harder than it used to be. Jessica has to fight for her own life and Jack’s when faced with his jealous vampire master who wants her old lover back. But things are never easy, and a vampire master is not so easy to defeat…

 The Redcliffe novels series follow the adventures of bookshop owner Jessica Stone as she meets a man and falls in love, only to discover the hidden werewolf secrets of her close friends. That includes Simon Bunce, manager of the Ship Inn, who turns out to be lieutenant to the Redcliffe werewolf pack, and lover to the wolf alpha Danny Mason. He fights to protect his master from the ethereal animal familiar who threatens to claim their pack. Who knew the Cornish coast could be so deadly?

Excerpt:

Sally opened a door further along the corridor.

“This is Danny’s-” she said, and then stopped abruptly.

I looked into the room to see Danny and Simon sharing a passionate kiss in front of a desk. They both jumped apart and then smiled sheepishly at us and I gasped in surprise.

Sally finished, “-office. Sorry boys I didn’t know we were interrupting!” she said with a smile and a wink.

I stood awkwardly in the doorway, and Simon stepped away from the desk rubbing his mouth with the back of his hand. Danny ruffled a hand through his hair in a gesture identical to his brother, and then he stepped forward, smiling.

“Jessica,” he said warmly, “it’s good to see you here. I was going to meet you upstairs but I got waylaid.” He looked meaningfully at Simon, who blushed and ducked his head.

I glanced at Sally who just smiled, walked into the room, and sat on the sofa adjacent to the desk, where Simon was now sitting. I was confused. She didn’t seem at all bothered by their behaviour even though I knew she was in love with Danny.  This must be a wolf thing. I cleared my throat and looked at Danny.

“Yeah I bumped into Sally upstairs and she brought me down,” I said, “Should I leave?”

Danny shook his head and moved towards me.

“No of course not,” he said, “Simon and I were just discussing some pack business.  Actually, Simon could you tell Sally please? I will give Jessica a tour.”         

Simon nodded and turned his attention to Sally, and I followed Danny out into the corridor.

Love Hurts (A Redcliffe Novel) Book 1 #TheRedcliffeNovels

Love Hurts is about a young woman who runs a bookshop in Cornwall with her best friend. She falls in love with a local police detective and later discovers that he is a vampire, and that his identical twin brother is a werewolf. She is dragged into their complicated and dangerous lives, to her detriment, where secrets are told and lives are lost...

The Redcliffe novels series follow the adventures of bookshop owner Jessica Stone as she meets a man and falls in love, only to discover the hidden werewolf secrets of her close friends. That includes Simon Bunce, manager of the Ship Inn, who turns out to be lieutenant to the Redcliffe werewolf pack, and lover to the wolf alpha Danny Mason. He fights to protect his master from the ethereal animal familiar who threatens to claim their pack. Who knew the Cornish coast could be so deadly?

Excerpt:

Danny moved away from the table and pushed his hair out of his eyes, a gesture identical to his brother. How could I tell them apart? I don’t know; it was a subtle knowledge, something different in their tone of voice, the way they dressed, and their attitude. Whatever it was, I knew this was Danny standing in front of me. His face became serious suddenly as he spoke. 

            “I got a message on the mobile from you,” he said, “and the office said you had been phoning.  Is everything alright?” 

            I told him about the strange women that had visited today and when I said their names he went pale and his body went very still. He spoke in a calm, careful voice.      
            “They said meet them at 9pm in the Old Cemetery?” he asked. 

            I nodded, my heart pounding. 

            “Yes,” I replied, “and the American woman, LuAnn, said she wants to see you again. And she said to go alone; this doesn’t concern your brother or your pack.” 

             Here I paused, wondering how to tell him the rest of the message, but I knew it was important. He waited patiently for me to continue.

            “Danny,” I faltered, “she said you must not take back-up, because if you do she will kill the people you care about. And she was very clear on that message. What did she mean by that?” 
            I paused, 
            “She was a bit scary Danny, what kind of acquaintance is she?” I asked. 

            He was very serious as he replied.

            “She is connected to the job in Scotland; they both are.” he said, “I’m sorry Jessica; it looks like we have inadvertently drawn you into our mess. I need to find Jack and go sort this out. Please promise me you will stay home, don’t answer the door unless you know who it is, and phone Jack or me if you get worried about anything, no matter how small or trivial. Will you do that?”

            He grabbed my shoulders, staring directly into my eyes, and I gasped, shocked at his forcefulness. I nodded, feeling sick with nerves. 

            “Yes of course.” I said, “Am I in danger?  What about Liz?” 

            He relaxed slightly and eased his grip on me.  

            “Liz will be fine,” he said, “she is of no concern to them. But they seem to have found out about you and your relationship with Jack and me.You don’t need to be overly concerned just yet; hopefully we can settle this tonight. Please just stay home and keep all your doors locked and your mobile phone handy, ok?” 

            I nodded and Danny left, saying he would call Jack on the way.

Not Just a Pretty Face #VoB #vampire #hunter

This year I intend to finish writing my Redcliffe novels series and turn my attention to the vampire hunter novels that have been lurking on my hard-drive for a couple of years. These novels are pure urban fantasy with some contemporary English Gothic thrown in for good measure. They are violent, erotic, passionate and not for those of a nervous disposition. Dare you read them?

You might like to start with my debut Urban Fantasy novel, Vampire of Blackpool. The vampire, the witch and the hunter battle it out in a contemporary Gothic adventure in Northern England. Who wins the battle? I think we know the answer to that one, but you might be surprised… Boo!

Indulging my Inner Vamp

I have been making lots of new friends across social media recently, and they have reminded my about why I write vampire stories. I have always felt deeply passionate and intrigued about the culture and folklore of vampires, and yes, there is a sexual element to that. I feel the need to express those dark and dangerous thoughts that lurk beneath my innocent exterior, and vampires and werewolves provide the perfect platform to vent my frustrations.

One of my earlier vampire novels is in desperate need of a little love… It is called The Darkness of Love, and came about purely as a spin-off from the Redcliffe novels series. I introduced a vampire named Marcus Scott, and he was supposed to be a supporting character. He proved rather too confident and forceful, however, and he tormented my dreams until I wrote his story. The Darkness of Love is set in Victorian England, and tells the story about how Marcus Scott became a vampire. There is sex, blood and violence. You have been warned… and titillated!

What Shall I Do in 2018?

Each year I find myself setting out targets and plans designed to help move my business forward and set me on course to be rich and famous. Each year it doesn’t quite work out the way I expect. We have family dramas. We have domestic interference. We have relationships, children, extended family and friends to care for. And my business plans get pushed further back, and I find myself desperately grabbing a couple of hours here and there to do a bit of networking and set up some blog posts.

I have decided not to set myself any strict targets or requirements in 2018. Our house is currently up for sale, and I hope that the first half of the year will involve completion of a sale and subsequent move. I will have to project manage the whole thing since it was my idea in the first place (my poor husband!), and so I do not need any further complications or demands on my time. Suffice to say that for now I plan to finish the books I am currently writing, publish the final two books in the Redcliffe novels series, and just take each day as it comes. What are your business plans for 2018? Or are you taking a break?

My Book Club Reading in 2018

Although I haven’t officially made a New Year’s resolution (except perhaps to sell our house and move ASAP), I have decided that in 2018 I need to read more books. Seriously, I have slacked off a lot during the past twelve months or so. It turns out I was so busy writing, editing, preparing new material, and doing domestic support work, that I neglected the books in my TBR pile. In fact, I even packed up a lot of books into boxes as an attempt to declutter our house while I try to sell it. I will not look at them again until we move…

But I still have my book club, and our first book of the year is The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. I am really enjoying it, actually! I am not far into it at the moment, but I like what I have seen so far, and I am eager to continue. Instead I must clean house before our first viewers of the year arrive. Exciting times!

❤Max Harper

I make sexy, sexier.

When a woman is on my arm, you can bet your life she suddenly becomes a hundred times more appealing to everyone else around. Why? Because I’m shit hot and I make them look shit hot, too.

There’s no doubt about it, I’m an arrogant hunk with an impressive six-pack.

I’m not looking for love. I’m not looking for money. I’m just looking for a hot woman to stroke a few things—my ego being one of them.

I choose my women like I choose my wine—if she doesn’t smell fruity or look rich, she’s got no chance.

❤Brooke Knight

I make sexy, sexier.

When a man or woman is on my arm, you can bet your arse they suddenly become a hundred times more appealing to everyone else around. Why? Because I’m sexy as shit and I make them look sexy as shit, too.

There’s no doubt about it, I’m a sexy, powerful woman with an impressive pair of legs.

I’m not looking for love. I’m not looking for money. I’m just looking for a hot man or woman to stroke a few things—my ego being one of them.

I choose my prey like I choose my perfume—if they don’t smell sweet or look expensive, they’ve got no chance.

They’re both egotistical, powerful people with uncontrollably intense sexual appetites.

But, what happens when two forces collide because they want the same thing, the same woman? I’ll tell you what happens—mighty, sexy things.

Christmas Holiday Blog Share #FreeBook #Giveaway

Merry Christmas, my friends! I trust that you are enjoying the festivities of the season, and today it is my turn to feature on the Winter Wonderland Holiday Blog Share, hosted by Mary Martinez. Have you entered the competition to win your $60 Amazon gift card? Details are at the bottom of this post.

This year I am especially excited to celebrate Christmas. We have had a challenging few years as a family, with several dramatic events unfolding, and lots of health issues to deal with. While many of these are ongoing, it seems that we are reaching a point where we can begin to relax and know that everything is falling into place. We have had to adapt to new habits, new experiences, and new people, but we keep going, and more importantly, we stick together.

Christmas for me is about celebrating with family and friends, catching up on lost time, taking a break from work, and enjoying a chance to treat ourselves with good food, a few gifts, and a chance to party. For me it is not religious. I mix it with my Winter Solstice celebrations in keeping with my Celtic pagan heritage, but I grew up in a Christian family, so old habits will prevail. We visit the local church for special services, and we do enjoy Christingle. What does Christmas mean to you? Do you celebrate the festival, or is it just another day?

Competition Time

Don’t forget to leave your comment below, and today I am offering you a FREE copy of my seasonal short story, Christmas with the Vampires.

Christmas is Calling #amwriting #writers #indie

It is the time of year where I take stock of my work and begin to step away from the computer for some well-earned rest. I have been very busy! 2017 saw me take huge leaps forward in my self-publishing journey, and I finally feel like I might start seeing a positive response from my efforts. In fact, I might even begin to find that elusive audience I have been seeking for all these years…

Add to that the release of 3 new books during the past six months, the development of three more, and lots of other smaller projects, and you can see why I am exhausted. It hit me all of a sudden earlier this week. I think it is time for me to sit back and catch up on reading for a change. I am currently battling my way through The Shining by Stephen King – it’s a great book, but I am struggling with such a hefty tome right now. But I will not be beaten. It is ironic that I began the year reading a book by Stephen King (On Writing), and I end the year reading one of his books. Merry Christmas!
