July 27- August 3 Vivian Arend is holding an extended week of celebration to get ready for the release of Under the Northern Lights–the print anthology of the first two books in the popular Granite Lake series. There will be daily prizes from great authors like Lauren Dane, Lisa Hendrix, Ann Agruirre, Moira Rogers, Bianca D’Arc, and a chance for me to say thank you to some of the people who have really made this possible.

To get ready, She's asking for your help to spread the news! Post your choice of banner, and link it to her blog: (head over to her blog for the other banners!!!!)

http://vivianarend.com/blog/

She’ll arrange things so that until the celebration starts people will get redirected to the right spot. (Means you only have to set up the link once ) Then, once you’ve posted the banner and link, use the contact button at the top of the page to let her know where you’ve got it posted. Each place counts as an entry, and at the start of One Week of Wolves, she’ll draw for a winner for a print copy!!!!!!

Easy? Easy! So pick your choice of banners, link, and go over to her blog and tell her about it.

Devyn Quinn's new book, Siren's Call? Have you heard it was coming out!!!

2010-06-02T07:26:00.000-07:00

Have you heard about Devyn Quinn's new book, Siren's Call? If you love mermaids, check here for more info: Release date Aug 03

www.devynquinn.com

Between desire and love there are some things that can’t stay buried, even in the deep of the ocean.

As a woman with a secret, lighthouse keeper Tessa Lonike savors her solitude on the island of Little Mer, off the coast of Maine. During a violent storm, Tessa spots a man thrashing in the ice cold waters and dives in to save him, using her ability as a mermaid to easily pull him to shore.

When Kenneth Randall awakens on the beach he is alone, left with the haunting memory of his beautiful, flame-haired savior. But a year later, when Kenneth meets her again, he’s determined not to let Tessa slip away. Just as the desire between them begins to burn, Tessa’s archaeologist ex-lover comes back to town with a tantalizing clue to her murky heritage.

The trio travel to the Mediterranean in search of answers, and when Tessa inadvertently opens an underwater portal they find a lost mermaid city. But in the deep, not everything is as it seems, and Tessa must decide if she wants to take her place as the royal heir, or follow the call of her heart…

“Siren’s Call is a thoroughly mesmerizing ride — Quinn throws open the doors to an unbelievable world where nothing is as expected. At once terrifying and fascinating and unbelievably entertaining, this is a book you won’t forget.” -Kate Douglas, bestselling author of Wolf Tales & The DemonSlayers

MORE HEAT THAN SWEET - NEW Erotic Ebooks Site Opens Its Doors!When Jeff Hicks opened 1RomanceEBooks back in June, it gave a chance for Indie Authors like myself, as well as already-established publishers like MLR Press, Aspen Mountain Press and a host of others to list our work in a new, exciting venue!

He is continuing the new tradition, with the opening of 1EroticaEBooks, a sexy new site dedicated to erotica with more heat than sweet. You can still find romance here, but the focus is on harder core erotica, not necessarily happy ever after. I hope you'll check it out. I've listed some of my darker works that explore the dangerous fantasies of the non-consensual realm, including The Toy, Obsession-Girl Abducted, Frog, Golden Angel and more! So click here and check it out!
