Halloween has always been one of my favorite times of year.  When I was younger, I was much braver than I am now and I used to watch lots of scary movies. The one that scared me most was Halloween.

Watching villian Michael Myers pursue Jamie Lee Curtis throughout suburbia was about the scariest thing I could imagine.  What’s your favorite scary movie?

One commenter who shares a scary favorite will win a copy of Predator’s Kiss, Gemini Island Shifters 1. Happy Halloween!

Fall Into Romance Hop.

I’m pleased to be part of the Fall Into Romance Hop. On this hop, we are sharing the romances that made us fall in love with the genre or the ones that keep us smitten.  Stop by each blog for new recommendations and giveaways!

The Linky is at bottom for those who wish to check out all stops or you may refer back to the main event post at: http://theherdpresents.blogspot.com/2016/10/fall-into-romance-blog-hop.html

What is my prize on this hop? One lucky reader will receive an ecopy of my paranormal romance Night Lover.

How to win my book? Night Lover is set in an English manor house and weaves between the past and the present. In order to win, comment on my post and answer this question: If you could have an affair with any historical figure, who would it be and why?

I will award the book to one winner.

Canadian soprano Renata Bruno is tired of waiting for her big break. Unfortunately, her boss, the conductor of a chamber ensemble, sees her as little more than background material. When she learns of an opportunity to sing solo with a different troupe in England, she knows she must seize it. Especially when she hears the group is to perform Mozart’s Requiem, her favorite work.

As soon as Renata decides to make her move, a strange, sultry presence invades her life. She begins dreaming of a man, one who makes love to her, bewitching her. It isn’t long before her night lover leaves startling proof of his nocturnal presence, making her doubt her senses.

To compound her discomfort, she learns her new conductor is the college boyfriend who broke her heart years ago. As Renata grapples with old hurts and renewed passion, she must also fend off the increasingly fervent advances of her night-time visitor. She realizes she is under the influence of an incubus, a sexual demon.

It becomes harder to resist the incubus when she learns he has a name and had a tragic history. The more she discovers about his past, the more she realizes they are linked in more ways than one. Renata begins to rediscover love and her sense of faith, but will it be enough to save her night lover from an evil curse? And will it destroy her in the process?

What are the books that made me fall in love with the romance genre? Like many readers, I first gravitated to historical romance. I guess I’ve always wanted a Mr. Darcy of my own. For that reason, I often picked up books by Jane Austen or Georgette Heyer.

However, eventually I found myself craving modern stories, especially those dealing with the paranormal. Although it isn’t a romance book, I embarked on a torrid love affair during my teens with a particular vampire.

What are some of your first favorites?

Happy hopping and don’t forget to visit each stop!

 

A Gemini Island Shifters fashion show.

The big day is approaching.

Readers of my Gemini Island Shifters series will know the employees at the Ursa Fishing Lodge and Resort are preparing for a grand re-opening of the lodge. Since being attacked by the Alpha Brethren, Ryland and friends have been working hard to get the lodge back in business. In the upcoming Predator’s Salvation, book 8 in the series, you will finally get to see the resort in all its majesty once again.

The women at the resort have been picking out their party dresses and the men have been polishing their shoes. I thought it might be fun to show you what my heroines are planning to wear for the big event.

First we have Lia Snow, our hostess, Ryland’s wife. At 8 months pregnant, Lia wants to be comfortable but she can’t resist a bit of glitz.

Gioia Snow, wife to Soren, loves color. With her olive skin and dark hair, she feels most comfortable in jewel tones like this striking blue. Soren likes it too.

Marci Gaspar is married to a real prince, the mysterious Anton. Her dress is made of a luxurious silk and drapes her body to perfection.

Charlotte Cairo, mated to Bart, knows what she likes. To complement her dark hair, she has chosen this vintage look red gown.

This pale pastel is perfect against Nina Moon’s dark complexion. As soon as she slipped into this lovely pink and black lace number, her mate Killian did a double take.

Suzan Moon, mated to jaguar shifters Percy and Byron, loves muted tones. Because she is an empath, she prefers softer colors that help her aura remain nice and calm.

Fleur Bissette, newly mated to Jani Fodor, is a bit of a bad girl. At least, she used to be. Now she’s all heart but she still likes a bit of attitude in her clothing. For Fleur, it can only be a little black dress.

And finally we have Elaine Gleason, our newest heroine from Predator’s Salvation. Elaine is a bit nervous about the grand re-opening celebration, mostly because of her strange feelings for Connor Church. When Connor sees her in this lovely copper gown, things certainly heat up between them.

Do you like these choices? Which do you like best? What will you wear to the party?

Haven’t caught up with the series? It’s never too late. Come to Gemini Island now.
