The Color of Vengeance by Kim Iverson Headley

Title: The Color of Vengeance
Author: Kim Iverson Headlee
Series: The Dragon's Dove Chronicles
Genre: Early Medieval Historical Fiction
Release Date: August 2013
Publisher: Lucky Bat Books
Cover Artist: Cheryl Tigris
Summary:
Vengeance was the only burial gift he could bestow.

When Angli cattle thieves slaughter his wife and son, Dwras son of Gwyn vows revenge upon their murderers. But how can a mere farmer prevail against ruthless, trained warriors? For the answer Dwras must look not to his sword, but within his heart.


Dwras jabbed the offending warrior on the shoulder. With a grunt, the man swung his head around to fix narrow eyes upon him.

“What d’ye want?”

“My seat. I want it back.” Dwras lowered his eyebrows. “Now!”

“You—what?” The Lothian warrior’s laughter nearly made him choke. A grinning companion slapped his back.

“Oho, Farmer Dwras thinks he’s one of us, lads,” chortled another warrior, making a shooing motion. “Be off with you! Back to your pigs, farmer boy.”

They burst into cackles, hoots, and hog calls. Dwras felt his cheeks flush.

The warrior in Dwras’s seat found himself buried under sops and ale.

“My mistake, sir.” He grinned devilishly. “I thought this was the sty.”

Author Bio:
Kim Headlee lives on a farm in southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, goats, Great Pyrenees goat guards, and assorted wildlife. People and creatures come and go, but the cave and the 250-year-old house ruins—the latter having been occupied as recently as the mid-twentieth century—seem to be sticking around for a while yet.

Kim is a Seattle native and a direct descendent of twentieth-century Russian nobility. Her grandmother was a childhood friend of the doomed Grand Duchess Anastasia, and the romantic yet tragic story of how Lydia escaped Communist Russia with the aid of her American husband will most certainly one day fuel one of Kim’s novels. Another novel in the queue will involve her husband’s ancestor, the seventh-century proto-Viking king of the Swedish colony in Russia.

For the time being, however, Kim has plenty of work to do in creating her projected 8-book Arthurian series, The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles, and other novels under her imprint, Pendragon Cove Press. She has been a published novelist since 1999, beginning with the original editions of Dawnflight (Sonnet Books, Simon & Schuster, ISBN 0671020412) and Liberty (writing as Kimberly Iverson, HQN Books, Harlequin, ISBN 0373771347).

Title: The Lightning Prophecy
Author: Emily Cyr
Series: The Lightning Witch Series #1
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
Release Date: May 21, 2015
Publisher: Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing


***Content Warning: Adult sexual content, minor gore***
Summary:
Delaney Hagen’s power to control lightning is unique, even among witches. That uniqueness has caused her to run and hide from her kind – and the other supernatural beings in the world. Finally, after years of running, she feels safe enough to settle down. But her life’s calm is completely destroyed when her best friend is murdered. Delaney teams up with the mysterious and sexy Reid Jamison to figure out just what is going down in her world. Delaney will have to make a choice between her life and love. Will she be the product of a prophecy or will her fate be changed? Reid Jamison knew this case wouldn’t be easy. But, with the money the Coven was throwing at him, how could he say no? When he met Delaney Hagen, his whole world began to unravel. Faced with a prophecy, murders, love and betrayal, will Reid be able to hang on to this new world? Or will it slip away?


     “I, my dear, am a shape shifter, as we like to be called, but think of me as a werewolf. And the Coven hired myself and my partner to handle this matter as discreetly as possible.”
     He didn’t back away. He just sat there, staring at me. He seemed to be waiting on something, a reaction of some kind. A shape shifter or werewolf. I was officially living in Twilight. Oh my God, this guy looked serious. I laughed in his face. I mean, what else could I do?
     “Are you done yet?” he said, looking mighty annoyed.
     “Yes, I think so. But really, what are you?” I asked, half snickering.
     He leaned even closer and his eyes went green. Those beautiful caramel-colored eyes freakin’ turned green, as in traffic light green. I abruptly stood, knocking the chair over behind me and scrambling over it. My foot caught on the leg of the chair and I went down, but I would not be a victim to this, this thing.
     On hands and knees I scrambled over to the pantry door, but before I could stand up I saw him move. He calmly walked over to me, moving the chair out of the way, and offered me a hand. Yeah, right. Was he nuts? I called the lightning to my hand and raised it to him in threat. I was going to barbeque his ass. Brick house or not, his ass was grass. I didn’t stop to even think about the Coven or what they would do if they found out about me.
     Between shaking lips I said, “Get away from me or this ball of lightning is going to turn you into beef jerky!”
     He raised an eyebrow at me and flicked his glance at my hand and took two small steps back. He put his hands on his hips and peered down at me.
     “Now, Ms. Delaney, the question is, what are you?”

Author Bio:
I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. I have always loved reading and writing. This is my first novel in The Supernatural Desire Series. Book 2, A Wolf's Savage Embrace released in Sept. 2013. They are standalone novels with recurring characters that hopefully, you fall in love with. My characters become so personal to me and I guess it's because you put your entire heart and soul into them.

I first started writing as a child. On rainy days my mom and I would "make" books. We would draw pictures and I would make up the stories. It is such a treasured memory of mine and I believe is what gave me the bug to keep on writing.

As a newbie author, I appreciate everyones support and love! This community of writers, illustrators, models and just avid readers has been awesome!

I have a quirky sense of humor and so enjoy meeting and talking with people - so, please feel free to drop me a line! I love hearing from fans!!!

Happy reading! And make sure to follow me on Facebook! And on Twitter @VampireEmbrace And always remember to Stay Strong and Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!

     “I’m looking for my brother,”
     The poor woman sitting at the desk is startled by my yelling at her.
     “Name?” she asks. She is clam despite my outburst.
     “Drew Roberts”.  A body moves up next to mine and realize that Luke has joined me.
     The lady’s fingers begin flying across a keyboard before she looks up at me.
     “Mr. Roberts is currently in surgery but you can go down the hall to the surgical waiting room and there’ll be an information desk there that can help you more.”
     “Thanks,"
     There is no time to wait as I take off in the direction she sent me.  Luke struggles to keep up with me as I race down the corridor.
     “Katarina slow down” Luke calls to me.  I pause only a moment before continuing down the hallway as I walk into the waiting area I pull up short.
     Bruce and Julie are huddled together.  Their faces somber. They are the only two family members I see and I briefly wonder where the others are. Bruce moves his head our eyes connect, he begins to stand. My body propels itself into Bruce’s waiting arms.  His eyes cut over to Luke silently acknowledging his presence but he never says a word. His arms wrap tightly around me holding me and bringing me the comfort I have been seeking since I talked to him this morning on the phone.
     “He’s been in surgery around five hours now. They come out every hour or so to update us," Bruce steps back facing me “So far things are going well.  He had three bullets enter him and two splintered.  They trying to get all pieces they can.”
     My body sags. Bruce grip tightens on me to support my weight.  The relief of knowing Drew is still alive is enough right now.
     Julie moves toward us, I see her out of the corner of my eye. I let go of Bruce and angle my body toward Julie when she engulfs me in a hug. We stand there hugging each other like we haven’t seen each other in ages.  Even though we had just spent a week in Vegas together last month.
     “Well. Well look what the cat dragged in” an annoying voice that I have missed more than I will ever admit too.
     Justin walks into the waiting room. Even though his tone sounded light and joking his face is somber his eyes not twinkling with their usual mischief.
     “Justin” I exclaim throwing myself at him as he pulls me into him.
     “Brought the replacement with you I see,” he whispers quietly referring to Luke.
