Featured Book: Dating a Vampire by Abbey MacMunn

Leave a Comment

Witch Harper Clarke is pretty sure misfortune follows her around like a bad smell. Her spells end in disaster, her dating agency for supernaturals has an embarrassing lack of clients, and her love life is a washout. So, when a vampire signs up to the agency and she can’t find him a match, she agrees to date the vamp herself.

Charmer Damon Vertefeuille has it all: power, status, and wealth, but becoming a vampire to get his errant brother out of trouble isn’t what he expected. Newbie vamps aren’t supposed to be dangerous, but one look at his witchy date and he has a sudden desire to sink his fangs into her pale flesh.

Thing is, she wants his bite.

Chemistry sizzles, but when Damon’s brother threatens to tear them apart, the lines blur between loyalty, love, and dark desires.

Interview with Romance Author Dana Pratola

Leave a Comment


About Dana Pratola:
I was born and raised in New Jersey, but hope not to die here. I've been married for decades, have three grown children, and a Maltese. My relationship with Jesus Christ is the MOST important thing in my life, and yes, I do write secular romance as well as inspirational, but my Christian worldview is often present in some of my characters.
Other than that, I love writing more than anything, followed by dogs and horses, and dream of having my own cabin/bungalow to write in ALONE for weeks at a time.

What inspires you to write?
Practically anything. I get a lot of ideas from songs, and inspiration usually hits when I'm on my treadmill, or in the shower, so I jot notes on my phone.

Tell us about your writing process.
I'm a combo writer. Pants-liner? Out-pantser? I do have a whiteboard, which I stick with basic character descriptions. I always forget eye color, then I glance over, and there it is. I usually have a general idea of the character, starting with physical description, then I imagine what their identifying "flaw" is and how that will work off the other main character and whatever their "flaw" is. They each have a goal and if that flaw can cause conflict, excellent! (*I "quoted" flaw because everyone has more than one, but I mean the one I'm going to focus on)

How do you develop your characters?
If my characters "spoke" to me I'd probably be in therapy and wouldn't have time to write. That being said, I don't have a definite path they must follow. Sometimes we meander off into the grass and it can be exciting there, too.

What authors inspire you?
Hmm. That's a good question. I like Stephanie Laurens, though I don't write historical romance. And Julia Quinn. Also, Chana Keefer. Her heart is pure and she's so open and forthcoming.

How do you keep going in the midst of distractions?
PRAYER.

What are your hobbies when you need a break from writing?
I have no hobbies, lol. I get on horseback whenever I can, but not often enough to be considered a hobby 🙁

What romance genres do you write?: Speculative, urban fantasy, suspense, rom-com, paranormal inspirational, NA, YA

Do you write in genres that are not romance related?
I write different types of stories — mystery, suspense, paranormal, fantasy — but they all have a definite vein of romance.

What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print

Targeted Age Group:: Young adult-adult

Two Clean Paranormal Romances:

A Bend in Time: Jenny McKenzie is a mystery to her entire village. The elderly woman is loved by all who know her, but nobody seems to know much about her. Her young friend, Kathleen, finally hears the whole story of who Jenny is and what she has lived. The question is, will Kathleen believe her story?

Pamasaw’s Song: Amy is a young widow, trying to get over the loss of her husband. Then the appearance of a strange-looking man in her back yard sends her on a journey to find who he is. In the process, will she find out who she is meant to be, and lead her to a new love?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The first book actually came about because of a dream I had. It involved time travel, and I immediately started to think of a storyline where it would include it.

Paranormal Romance isn't my normal genre, but I've always loved reading a variety of fiction, so decided to try and write some of my own!

Joshua’s Legacy by C. M. Morgan

Targeted Age Group:: Young adult-adult

A tale that enforces the belief that true love never dies.

When Josh Sterling’s great-grandfather leaves him a huge old Victorian house in rural Wisconsin, Josh has only one thought in mind. Fix up the old place and sell it as quickly as possible so he can return to his real life in Michigan.

One of the requirements of his great-grandpa’s will is that he hires A.J. James and crew to do the needed repairs on the house. That’s fine with Josh until he discovers A.J. is really Annie James, a cute little coverall-wearing gal who may not look it but knows her construction business. At first, Josh is hesitant about hiring her, but since he doesn’t feel he has any choice because of his great-grandfather’s directive, he accepts her estimate. His main focus is just to get the work done as quickly as possible.

It doesn’t take long before Josh realizes there is a definite spark between him and Annie, but they both seem determined to ignore the attraction. Then strange romantic notes begin appearing in various spots in the house, and once Josh starts hearing strange noises at night, he begins to wonder if there’s more going on in the house than what he thinks.

The more Josh and Annie start digging into the house’s history, the more they are drawn into the past and to each other. What about Josh’s vow to sell the house as soon as he gets it fixed up? And what secrets is the house hiding, and will Josh and Annie be able to discover what they are? If they do, what will it mean for their growing friendship?

“Joshua’s Legacy” is a tale that enforces the belief that true love never dies.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I have always loved old houses and ghost stories surrounding them. When I got the idea for this book, I knew I had to write it.

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.
