The Visitors on the Ranch by Strawberry Chase

Leave a Comment

Targeted Age Group:: 18-65

The beautiful daughter of a wealthy rancher, Bethie Jo has pined for the ranch hand next door for as long as she can remember.

★ Can she still love him when she learns who he really is?

Bethie Jo is in her senior year of high school, class of 1957, and is feeling the pressure to find a well-to-do rancher’s son to marry.

But none of the high school boys interest her. The man she’s known most of her life, however, the cowboy who works at the strange ranch next door, is the one she wants. And she is willing to go against all the prejudices of her friends, her parents, and the whole town to follow her heart.

But Calvin is hiding more than she realizes.

Cal’s own heart has been tied to Bethie Jo’s since he first met her. When she decides she’s ready to take their relationship to the next level, Cal tries his best to fit in.

But if they are going to be lovers, he must reveal to her who he really is and what is really going on behind the odd happenings at the Myer ranch. The rumored Skinwalkers are closer to her than she knows.

At first, his differences don’t matter — Bethie Jo loves him anyway.

But when she sees what the alien in him can become, something vilified by everyone in town, will she stay with him as she promised?

Haunting in Hartley by Janice Tremayne

Haunting in Hartley by Janice Tremayne

Hartley is an Australian rural ghost town that has made a revival for all the right reasons—but it can not shake off its evil past as the phantom returns to haunt its new residents. A converted presbytery that accommodates visitors was once a playground for everything evil in this house—a place for deprived young priests and unfortunate orphans. Consumed by a dark evil source locked away in a cobalt chest for one hundred and fifty years.
Will Clarisse be strong enough to reject the trade-off—the power to foretell future events of her choosing and the horrors that come with the visions? What if she could predict a serious illness or an incident that would forecast a tragedy for a loved one? Perhaps a winning lottery or horse race?
This is a haunting tale of cursed taunts and mindless games of an angry and sarcastic phantasm that occupies the basement, lonely and desperate for someone worthy to take over his curse. The contract with the evil entity comes at a cost for Clarisse—ingrained in her lust to control future events. This becomes an affliction of the mind that she can no longer separate from her reality.
Enter her dark world of greed and lust-driven by Clarisse’s decision to hold onto her newly acquired supernatural power or walk away and resume her normal life—-even at the expense of the spiteful and evil chantage.

Infiltrate by Cali Mann

An impossible choice:
destroy the academy and lose the mates who will keep me sane
or my brother dies.
Between my mother’s addiction to dangerous men and my own habit of attracting all the wrong attention,
I’ve learned the hard way: use or be used.
The only light in my life is my brother.
And when my mother’s murderous boyfriend threatens him,
I will do anything to save him –
even infiltrate and sabotage the only place willing to give me – and my brother – a chance.

Intrigue — supernatural mystery — a surprising twist that will leave you gripped for more…

‘Be absorbed and get lost in the romantic and supernatural world of this compelling series with thrilling supernatural occurrences interwoven in Kira’s night dreams and real life.
What would you wish for?’

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
One Wish, the first book in the Rising Sun Saga, started from an idea when imagined a girl turning around and seeing the love of her life. But it actually turned out to be a dream the character was having, and although she knew this guy was real somehow, she just hadn’t met him yet. This became the first paragraph in chapter one.
The story went from there and was so alive that the bulk of it was then written in only a few months time! I’d started to piece all the scenes together into a sequence and saw early on that the story would fit well as being set across exactly one week. After writing the story into each day, the fun part was then figuring out what would happen each day so that the story would all tie together with a conclusion on Sunday.

Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes: (Un)Lucky Valley Book 1 by Michelle M. Pillow

Leave a Comment

Targeted Age Group:: Adult

Welcome to Lucky Valley where nothing is quite what it seems.

Lily Goode wasn’t aware she had an inheritance waiting for her in the form of a huge Victorian house in Lucky Valley, Colorado. Life might finally be coming together for her. That is if you don’t count the endless home repairs, dealing with eccentric Aunt Polly who claims they’re both witches, and Nolan Dawson the handsome home inspector who seems to have it out for her, then, sure, life is grand. Oh and not to mention the strange hallucinations and garden gnomes who are far more than lawn ornaments.

If mysterious accidents don’t do her in, then the rebellious gnomes just might. With the help of Aunt Polly, it’s up to Lily to discover who’s sabotaging her new home and trying to drive the Goodes out of Lucky Valley once and for all.

From NY Times & USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow, a Cozy Mystery Paranormal Romantic Comedy.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I’ve been a published author for about 15 years now, and during that time I’ve had the opportunity to write in many different romance genres—dark fantasy, historical, paranormal, contemporary, sci fi, futuristic. One thing became obvious very quickly in my career. For better or worse, I wasn’t a one-genre writer. My muse likes to explore and research, so I let her.

My first “cozy mystery paranormal romantic comedy” (say that ten times fast), was in The Happily Everlasting Series project with Mandy M. Roth, Kirsten Painter, and Jana DeLeon. We each wrote a different book in a shared world. In the first book, Fooled Around and Spelled in Love, Aunt Polly quickly became a fan favorite. (You can see her make appearances in Mandy M. Roth’s book in that series.) She started as the loveable, quirky aunt to Fooled Around and Spelled in Love’s heroine, Anna. She runs a tiny, and slightly questionable, magic shop in the back of Anna’s coffee shop.

So why did I write Better Haunts and Garden Gnomes? For Aunt Polly. Readers love her. I love her. She’s too much fun to stop.

Leave a Comment


About Michelle M. Pillow:

What inspires you to write?
Getting out and living life is one of the best ways to be inspired with ideas. They’re always floating around me waiting to be plucked. Some of the best ideas happen when you’re not looking for them. And, the experience of doing can inform the writing and make it stronger.

Tell us about your writing process.
I can pretty much work anywhere. Not because I’ve wanted to over the years, but because I had to learn to—waiting rooms, parking lots, airports, hotels. I even fished a book in the passenger seat of a car while driving halfway across the country. It wasn’t a fun 10 hours for the driver. Lucky for me, he still married me.

How do you develop your characters?
For characters, I start with their history, names, and personality quirks. Once I know that, I know what kind of adult they are and how they might react to the situations I put them in. Physical attributes are always the last thing I think about.

It's important to know more about the character than will ever be on paper. Stay true to the characters and your world building. If you know them, and respect who/what they are and where the characters come from, the story will unfold for itself.

Who are your favorite authors?
I always have to list Mandy M. Roth’s Immortal Ops series. I read the first one 15 years ago and loved it. We both published our first books together and have been besties almost from the start of our careers. I love getting sneak peeks from her Ops worlds, including the spin off series. It’s like a behind the scenes look each time she writes one.

Another great author include Kristen Painter, who I had the pleasure of working with on The Happily Everlasting Series project. Kristen has the Nocturne Falls series. Jana DeLeon was also on that project. Gena Showalter is an amazing author and human. There are so many, I can't list them all…

What genres do you write?: Paranormal Romance, Science Fiction Romance, Fantasy Romance, Contemporary Romance, Historical Romance, Cozy Mystery, Women's Fiction
