A Hard Lesson for an Author #nevergiveup
I think I need to face facts. For the past seven years I have been
trying to promote and sell my Redcliffe
novels series of adult paranormal romance novels set in Cornwall, England.
These stories came about from an idea I nurtured as a teenager, but back then I
wasn’t confident enough to write them down. Instead I left them to simmer in my
subconscious while I read as many paranormal, supernatural and occult books as I
could get my hands on. It opened up a whole new world, and indeed a new way of life,
as I discovered paganism and modern witchcraft.

***Sneak Preview!*** Heart of the Vampire (A Redcliffe Novel) Book 5 #TheRedcliffeNovels
Welcome to the Season of the Witch and all things Spooky, my friends! I
am excited to announce that we are now counting down to the launch of my next
book in the Redcliffe novels series: Heart of the Vampire. Samhain is
fast approaching in Redcliffe, Cornwall, and Jessica Stone must learn about
control, power, and the love that she truly feels for her vampire boyfriend and
his brother. Here is your sneaky preview:
“Jessica,” Simon said in
a low voice, “What is wrong?”
He glanced to his left, following my gaze, and Danny did
the same. Both men clearly saw nothing and returned their attention to me. I
watched as Sally stood straight and looked at me with a small smile. She was
clearly not solid, but I could recognise her features, the same long blonde
hair that she wore in a high ponytail, her pale skin that she would accentuate
with fake tanning lotion, and her bright blue eyes that had been both gentle
and dangerous when she was alive. And she knew that I could see her.
I staggered back, almost falling onto the sofa, and Simon
leaped forward to steady me. I held out my hand to stop him, not wanting to be
weak, and I managed to keep my composure, but in the split second that I turned
my attention to Simon, the vision of Sally disappeared. She never spoke. She
simply vanished.
“Jessica?” Simon said again, hovering uncertainly nearby, “What did you see?”
I swallowed and looked from him to Danny, and then back
to the empty space behind the desk. Danny was frowning and looking to his left,
rubbing his arm as though he had an itch.
“Didn’t you see her?” I asked.
Both men shook their heads, but Danny’s expression turned from puzzled to knowing as he
realised what I must have seen.
“Sally,” he said in a flat voice.
Simon’s head jerked
round as he stared at his master in surprise.
I nodded.
“Yes,” I whispered, “I think I just saw a ghost.”

I Called, and You Came – Thank You!
Last week I went through a mini crisis of confidence. My freelance work
had dried up and my blog seemed to have fallen into a void, with little or no
response to recent blog posts. Perhaps my fragile ego needed some attention. Maybe
I just felt like having a tantrum. Whatever it was, I decided to write out my frustrations,
and posted on SpookyMrsGreen.com
with the desperate title Is Anyone There?
The answer was swift and was a resounding yes! Not only did I receive some
very heartfelt comments on the blog post, but some of my close personal friends
spoke directly to me and said that they do read my blog posts, and they enjoy
reading them. That is all I needed. I love writing. I want other people to love
what I write. Yes, alright, my blog posts are personal and will sometimes be
completely irrelevant to other people. Other times I will post sponsored
content or reviews. But all of it comes from the heart, my heart, and that is
the point of being a writer. Thank you, my friends. I truly appreciate your
love and support.

Writer Friends are Important
The life of a writer can often become isolated, lonely and very quiet. We
spend so much time scribbling in notebooks, typing on our computers, and pondering
the next twist in our story, that we forget about the world around us. Unless it
can offer something for the work in progress, of course! I find it difficult to
relate to my husband and friends when I am immersed in a writing project. They don’t
want to hear the nuances of my job, and I don’t want them to know the plot
until I am ready for them to read the story.
That is when my writer friends step in. I am fortunate to have a couple
of friends that live close by, so we can meet up for a drink and a chat when convenient,
and we can work through the challenges, bemoan our lack of sales, share advice
and tips, and generally lift each other up when we feel low. I have a similar network
on social media. These are friends that I don’t see regularly, but we share
each other’s books online, we share relevant news, and we support each other. Sometimes
all you need is someone experiencing the same challenges, so that you know you
are not alone. And for this I am very grateful to my writer friends.

#AmWriting Ghost Hunter Diaries
It is funny how random encounters can trigger memories and encourage us
to act. Last week I received a phone call from a journalist, and following that
conversation, I remembered that I never did write up my Ghost Hunter Diaries for
publication. These are a series of memoirs from my years of ghost hunting with
North West Spirit Seekers, around ten years ago. I learned a lot about mediumship
and paranormal investigation, and I experienced a lot of activity in various
locations, mainly around the North West of England, but I also managed a few
hunts in other parts of the country, in Wales and in Scotland.
Interested? You can read a few of my original Ghost Hunter Diaries over
on my SpookyMrsGreen blog. For now, I
am writing up the non-fiction book into some sort of coherent form, and I will
begin seeking a publisher. Do you have any suggestions or know of any open
submissions?

Back to School, Back to Work
Summer is ending, and we are eagerly awaiting the Autumn season. Well, I
am. I don’t know about you. I certainly did not enjoy the summer heatwave we had
here in the UK, and I am ready for a change. My children go back to school this
week, and we can get back in the work routine. For me that means many different
things. I am currently applying for part time jobs, with little success so far.
I am still trying to work out how to make my books sell, how to find my
audience, how to create products that people want to buy. It is a tricky
process, but I refuse to give up.

Book Review: Untangling the Webs by Joy Pearson
This book made me feel excited about growing older! Now, that might
sound odd, but bear with me. Untangling the Webs is the story of
relationships and real life. We follow the journeys of women who have
experienced love and heartbreak, who have battled through illness, raised
children, nurtured careers, and kept on going when life got tough. This book
picks up the story of a retired woman mourning for a missing lover, a woman in
her early forties who finds love when she has given up hope, of women who have
been “the other woman” in other people’s marriages. I liked the fact that all
the characters had flaws and strengths in equal measure, making them likeable
and believable. The webs mentioned in the title could well represent the physical
journeys taken by these women and men, as well as the entanglements of their
lives. They all meet up somewhere along the line, and I enjoyed reading the
story as it wove together, and bits of the puzzle clicked into place. Oh, and
there was some good sex in there as well, if you like it a little bit racy!
You can buy Untangling the Webs
in all the usual places, and you can request it from your local library in the
UK. Find Joy Pearson on Facebook
and learn more about her personal journey as she wrote this book. You won’t
regret adding this one to your reading pile!

Night Stairs to Dormitory #LoveCastles
Do you like my title? Sounds like a fascinating book, don’t you think?
Well, it hasn’t been written yet, at least not by me. I just returned from a
family holiday in Northumberland, and we visited the Holy Island Lindisfarne.
Using our English Heritage membership, we visited Lindisfarne Priory, and
enjoyed a fascinating tour of this religious relic. I found the site peaceful
and full of intrigue, including the information plaques that were scattered
about the ruins.

Secrets: Dreya Love Book 3 by Dana Lyons
There’s no going back.
Martin Nash was once seven years old and longed for words of love from
his mother. At thirty-five, he knows he’s never going to hear them from her.
But he’s willing to kill for as long as it takes … until someone tells him the
words.
As Dreya, Rhys, Quinn, and Simon discover the dangerous position they’re
in by being Noble, they search for a way to fit exceptional into their everyday
life. While old habits provide a never-ending challenge going forward, no one
would go back.
Nobility transformed them and their lives.
Nobility, a genetic modification created by Dr. Anthony Lazar, uses
latent animal DNA to cage the human ego and bring mankind a higher moral code
free of envy, greed, and jealousy. Noble means possessing an exceptional
character in the face of adversity. Dreya, Rhys, Quinn, and Simon discover
being Noble and exceptional in a human world isn’t easy.
In the midst of this uncertainty, Dreya puts herself in the line of fire
with a serial killer who has a fetish for eyeballs. What she doesn’t know is …
Nothing is safe and nowhere is private.
It’s not a good time to have secrets.
About the Author
Where did my writing begin?
In the winter of 2002 I sat down and wrote my first romance. This
surreal experience lasted 7 days, with a one day break in the middle. I wrote
10,000 words a day. What I produced was awful, but a great story. I had
obviously been bitten, and yet I didn't know how to write, simple as that. So
the process of learning how to write began for me with RWA. I jumped into the
conferences, seminars and online courses with determination, reading books on
how to write, and how not to write. I went to meetings with other want-to-be
writers and published authors and listened to what everyone had to say. I
shelved the first novel because another story had taken root in my mind and I
began THE ROSETTA COIN. My critique partner sent it back looking like sushi.
:-( But I kept working because I knew writing was a talent I could polish. The
paranormal experiences my characters work through are loosely based on the
possibilities of a Multidimensional Universe laced with the spooky actions of
Quantum physics. A new time travel romance is currently working, with plans for
another adventure novel coming next, followed by a sequel to Druae. Adding to
this mix, I have an idea for a time traveler series. It seems there is always
another story to write, bringing new readers to Dana's work.

NHS Nurses in my Novels #NHS70
Did you know that some of my
novels feature NHS nurses and doctors as supporting characters? I mention this
only because we are celebrating 70 years of the National Health Service, and I thought
you might be interested…
In the Redcliffe Novels
series, we meet NHS nurse Sally Frost who leads a double life as lieutenant and
law enforcer for the Redcliffe werewolf pack. She is helplessly in love with
her alpha wolf, but he won’t commit, so she settles for the unofficial role of
alpha female as they battle to keep the enemy out and their wolves safe… but
sometimes their own wolves can cause trouble, as we discover when Sally has a
run-in with her professional colleague from the hospital, Dr Kimberley Wayne. Download your FREE copy
of It’s
Complicated to see what happens.
In Vampire of Blackpool you
can read what happens when an ancient female vampire meets a young witch who
works as an NHS nurse. They fall into an unexpected romance with deadly
consequences, made worse by the appearance of a vampire hunter. You will find references
to the NHS in most of my novels, actually, since my hunters, humans and
creatures usually end up in the hospital at some point during their adventures.
Happy Birthday, NHS!

Eye of the Tiger (A Redcliffe Novel) – Book 4
Excerpt -
Glancing at the wall clock I saw that the time was barely two
o’clock. It felt
like I was in a time warp here, waiting to close the shop and see what magical
mischief I could get into that evening. At least, that’s how my life seemed now. Perhaps I
was being a little melodramatic.
“Alright,” Jack replied, “What has upset you?”
“Oh, the usual,” I said with a huge sigh, “Finding out I’m a witch with a scary animal
familiar, discovering that my boyfriend is a vampire, oh and that my local
friends are werewolves. Or were,” I caught my breath as the tears surged forward again.
“You are mourning the loss of your
friend,” Jack said, “It is only natural for a human.”
I nodded and
then remembered that Jack was on the phone.
“Yes,” I replied quietly, “She was too young to die like that.”
“She did her duty as pack lieutenant,” Jack said, “She was a hero.”
“Doesn’t make it any easier,” I said.
“No,” Jack agreed, “You need time to ease the pain.”

#PromotionWithPride Proudly Presents: Vampire of Blackpool! #LGBT
This month I am participating in #PrideMonth and showcasing my books that feature LGBTQ characters. While my genre is adult paranormal and contemporary English Gothic, my characters are an assortment of flavours, and you never know what you might find when you delve in… gay and bisexual werewolves in the Redcliffe novels, for example!
This week I was featured on NN Light’s Book Heaven with my contemporary English Gothic novel Vampire of Blackpool. A female vampire falls in love with a witch, and they must think fast when a male hunter arrives in town, determined to seek out the vampire and remove her from existence. It’s a classic tale of cat and mouse with a Gothic twist and a whole lot of passion and lust. Check it out over on the blog.

My Vampire Boyfriend (A Redcliffe Anthology) #erotic #summerholiday #beachreads
“Why must you run away from our wolf, Jessica?”
I opened my eyes as I
heard the voice of my animal familiar, Suri, drifting through my head. Rinsing
shampoo out of my hair, I angled my head forward so the jet of hot water hit my
shoulder blades. The shower pressure was nice and strong, and I took a moment
to savour the sensation, almost like a massage. My shoulders were very tense
these days.
“I didn’t run away from
him, Suri,” I said out loud to the empty bathroom, “He was busy with Simon and
I didn’t want to intrude.”
“He always has time for
us,” my snow tiger insisted, “You are his mate. You come before all others in
his pack, and you know it.”
I shuddered even with
the heat of the shower enveloping me. This magic was very strong, and very
potent. It frightened me, not least because I was the one that had made the
connection with Danny, and I didn’t know how. Apparently, my animal familiar
was very powerful in her own right, but she remained trapped in a magical world
somewhere within my psyche. I couldn’t explain it to anyone, although I had
tried with my human best friend Liz. It was very difficult.
“I am not his mate,” I
insisted, smoothing conditioner into my hair, “I am his friend. And I am his
brother’s girlfriend.”
This anthology contains adult themes, and scenes of a sexual nature. The
short stories offer a glimpse into the sexual adventures of a fledgling witch,
her vampire and werewolf, and their friends in various situations.

Celebrate #PrideMonth at NN Light’s Book Heaven @NNP_W_Light
Did you know that most of my novels and short stories feature LGBTQ+
characters? I don’t set out to include them, or to write specifically about the
characters in their unique perspectives. They simply have natural preferences
to same sex or whatever feels natural. And to that end, I am participating in Promotion with Pride at N.N. Light’s Book Heaven.
You might like to read about my gay and bisexual werewolves in the Redcliffe novels series. Or my
lesbian vampires in Vampire of Blackpool and Return of the Vampire Hunter. I am
currently working on a couple of gay vampire novels set in Manchester, and I
will also soon offer up something very different and much darker than my usual
writing style… But that is top secret and you must wait until I am allowed to
reveal more!
