It's in You to Give - Vampire Books for Blood

Image
What is "Vampire Books for Blood?"   Author Scott Burtness created the Vampire Books for Blood event in 2014. It's held annually from October 1st through to the 31st. The event brings vampire book authors together for a shared goal: to raise money for the American Red Cross and Canadian Blood Services. Participating authors each pledge to donate at a portion of their sales of their book(s) during the month of October to the American Red Cross or Canadian Blood Services.

Today's the Day

Image
Today’s the Day “Today’s the day,” a strange man says to officer John Galloway, sending a puzzling, yet ominous, message. Galloway can’t make sense of the words, or perhaps the warning, but when he’s called in on a missing child investigation, it quickly becomes clear to him that it’s not going to be a good day. Just in time for Halloween, a story about a girl who goes missing on and the unfortunate police officer who finds her. Available for pre-order. Release date: September 15th. Excerpt: In the distance was a school, and he headed toward it, sweeping the beam back and forth in front of him as he jogged, his chest tightening with the strain. His forty-eight-year-old body was no longer suited for strenuous activity, but he was loathe to give up active duty for a desk job. Being in the field kept him sharp mentally and gave him purpose. The vacant schoolyard was lit up like a 7-Eleven, and Galloway refastened the flashlight to his belt. He broug...

The Villains of HIGH MAGA, by Karin Rita Gastreich

Image
The Villains of HIGH MAGA One of the greatest challenges of writing High Maga was crafting the villains. My first novel, Eolyn, had a formidable antagonist in the wizard Tzeremond. But the antagonists of High Maga, Queen Rishona and Prince Mechnes, raised villainy to a whole new level for me. Rishona of the Syrnte was born under tragic circumstances. Her parents, Prince Feroden of Moisehén and his Syrnte wife, Tamara, were slaughtered while attempting to return to Feroden’s homeland, where he intended to claim the crown. Tamara was pregnant with Rishona when they were attacked, and gave birth as she died.   Gifted with the extraordinary power of Syrnte sight, Rishona remembers this moment in all its horror.   A forester rescued Rishona and returned her to the Syrnte, where she was raised by her uncle Mechnes. Rishona grew up determined to avenge the death of her parents and to claim her father’s throne in Moisehén. The Syrnte are a sophisticated and compl...
