Beware the Ides of March...
It’s that time of the month again, when I peek out of my writing cave, look around and post something before I dart back inside. Since I am currently knee-deep wading through the final edits of The Download (coming soon from Kindle Press), and trying to get some traction on Zero, I thought I would take a moment to recognize some of the wonderful authors who run around the indie scene.
Please note that now is the time of year where I look for mindless, popcorn-and-wine entertainment, so I thought I’d hop on the Tears of Crimson Paranormal Blast and share some fun with you. We’ve got angels, demons, vampires and a few dozen shirtless shifters! Please enjoy and take the time to check them out.

Spring into the Best Paranormal Romances
At Tears of Crimson, we believe every month is a celebration of the paranormal. Thank you for sharing our love of all things supernatural and now we want to give back. Today we are focused on all the incredible books we at Tears of Crimson love. With the upcoming debut of Immortal Embrace, book two in the Tears of Crimson series, it had to be our focus. Surrender to the night and let your darkest desires come to life, we'll be waiting for your thoughts.
Finding a job is never easy, and the only employment Gail usually finds is acting as Girl Friday for the mob. Lucky for Gail, Georgia Sutherland has just the job for her—that is, if she can handle working nights, managing a little blood, and a boss who's been dead for centuries.
Rysa Torres stumbles through life as an overwhelmed young woman fighting against her attention deficit disorder. She can’t get a handle on the world, no matter how hard she tries. After monsters attack and activate a part of her she didn't know she had, Rysa becomes the Fate at the center of an epic battle against a terrifying future — and a world consumed by fire.
Ladon and his companion Dragon survived the Roman Empire. They survived the centuries after, and now they spend their days fighting ghouls in the American West. When they find the newly-activated, terrified Rysa, they see only the potential hell a young Fate might unleash into their quiet, lonely lives. But Ladon quickly realizes Rysa is much more than the daughter of an old enemy — she is his key to forgiveness.
