The Catholic Church fights the Legions of Hell in Mysterious Albion, Book I in Leone’s Vatican Vampire Hunter series.
American college student Lucy Manning is visiting the London nightclub scene when she loses her best friend to a vampire. Traumatized by her friend’s death as well as by the fact that she herself was almost killed, Lucy flights back to the States.
But soon after, she is visited by two members of the Church — Father Gelasius and Sister Anne — who make her an offer she can’t resist.
Against her family’s wishes, Lucy heads back to London and joins a secret society of vampire hunters. Together with Father Gelasius, Sister Anne, and two other young members like herself, Lucy begins to fight the vampires who haunt the streets of night-time London — of course, not without going through a tough training first.
As more innocent victims disappear, it becomes obvious that the situation is getting worse…for an ancient, powerful vampire has risen from her slumber, and she’ll stop at nothing to shed rivers of blood upon the earth.
Mysterious Albion is an entertaining, thoroughly enjoyable read. I used to be a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and this story, though different in many aspects, has a similar tone that will be relished by fans of the genre.
Lucy is a very real, sympathetic character, and Leone did an excellent job in bringing London and the English countryside to life.
I also especially enjoyed the traditional vampire lore where vampires are depicted as evil monsters and not sexy creatures — quite refreshing!
This is Catholic urban fantasy, so there’s also a lot of religious references. However, I didn’t find these detrimental to the plot.
Witty dialogue isn’t lacking and there’s a fair share of fun battle scenes.
Kat Flannery has loved writing ever since she was a girl. She is often seen jotting her ideas down in a little black book. When not writing, or researching, Kat enjoys snuggling on her couch with a hot chocolate and a great book.
Her first novel, CHASING CLOVERS became an Amazon’s bestseller in Historical and Western romance. This is Kat’s second book, and she is currently hard at work on the third.
When not focusing on her creative passions, Kat is busy with her three boys and doting husband.
Q: Congrats on the release of your novel, Kat! Tell us why readers should buy LAKOTA HONOR.
A: LAKOTA HONOR is set in the late 1800’s yet deals with the same issues people face today. The story of Otakatay and Nora will appeal to everyone because the problems they face are real. There is suspense, drama, action and romance.
Q: What makes a good Paranormal Historical Western Romance?
A: That’s a lot of genres. J I choose to write my characters with real problems and real emotions. I strive to have the balance of the two and give my readers good three dimensional characters that they can connect with. The Paranormal genre can be tricky to write. I didn’t want to write about vampires or werewolves, they’ve been done thousands of times. I wanted to write about something that had a huge effect on history like the Salem Witch Trials. With this genre, you can give the reader a little bit of history, a fantasy, and romance.
Q: What is a regular writing day like for you?
A: Once the kids are off to school, I grab my coffee and do a bit of marketing before I delve into writing. I generally write while the kids are at school and late in the evening. This sometimes doesn’t work and when I’m in the middle of a book I generally write late at night and into the early hours of the morning.
Q: What do you find most rewarding about being an author?
A: Being able to tell a story that will touch people’s lives. What I find fascinating is that no matter what year I chose to write my novels in people haven’t changed. This allows me to connect to my readers on a personal level and I love that.
Q: What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever received that you’d like to pass to other authors?
A: Not to give up. In my early years as a writer I knew that this was what I wanted to do but I didn’t know how to get there. So I took classes, and went back to school. I researched until my eyes couldn’t focus on the page in front of me. I asked questions. I never turned down criticism, even when it hurt, even when I was told not to pursue this career. I read every rejection letter and I made notes. I took what they said and applied it to my writing. I worked my butt off. In this industry there is always something to learn, and just because I am published doesn’t mean I’ll stop learning.

Fate has brought them together…but will a promise tear them a part?
Otakatay is hired to kill the witkowin-crazy women. A deadly bounty hunter, he has found his last victim in timid healer Nora Rushton. Marked as a witch, Nora uses her gift to heal those in need, and the bounty hunter is one of them. Will the desire to complete his promise drive him to kill her, or will the kindness he sees in her blue eyes push him to be the man he once was?
Nora and Otakatay must fight for their freedom in a time when race and discrimination are a threat and innocence holds no ground.
Carol Nicolas lives in northern Utah (USA) with her husband. A native of Canada, she attended BYU-Idaho (formerly Ricks College) and obtained a bachelor’s degree in education from Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah USA). A teacher, mother of five, wearer of silly socks, and fan of sci-fi/fantasy books and films, she enjoys growing herbs and vegetables, painting, and researching her family history. She likes rock, pop, Celtic and classical music. She has traveled throughout Europe; her favorite city there is Paris, though the romance of Venice is a close second. She speaks American English (with a Canadian accent after she has been talking with her Canadian family on the telephone for just a few minutes), as well a basic modern Greek, which she studied for 4 years to be able to communicate with her husband’s family on their bi-annual trips to Greece. Her deepest secret: she hides chocolate in her desk for emergencies!
I’ve always been fascinated by storytelling in all its forms, but I started writing stories and poems as a teenager.
What was your inspiration for The Sixth Power?
I had the most interesting dream about three siblings sitting together in a crowded room, and the older sister and brother were breathing for their little sister. When I woke up, I thought, Hmmm. That would make a good story. So I began to write.
What themes do you like to explore in your writing?
I explore love, good versus evil, heroism, responsibility, growing up, forgiveness, healing from trauma, developing talents, love…
How long did it take you to complete the novel?
From the first time I dreamed about the characters to the day The Sixth Power was published, it was five years, but I didn’t work continually on the same story.
Are you disciplined? Describe a typical writing day.
I can’t say I’m disciplined, as my regular life seems to encroach on my writing time way too much. But here’s my schedule: get up, have breakfast, get son off to school, exercise, tidy house, write, lunch, write, pick up son, run errands, make supper, eat, do dishes, write, go to bed, read, sleep. If I had no other distractions, I’d probably spend almost all day writing.
What did you find most challenging about writing this book?
The biggest challenge was learning how to take constructive criticism, because whenever someone made a suggestion on what wasn’t working or needed to be changed, my initial reaction was, “NOOOO!”
What do you love most about being an author?
I love the process of creating characters and putting them into situations, and then just seeing where they go from there. They take on a life of their own. It’s really fascinating.
Did you go with a traditional publisher, small press, or did you self publish? What was the process like and are you happy with your decision?
I self published. Marketing is a whole different animal from writing, and it requires a different set of skills. Thanks to my wonderful husband, I haven’t had to shoulder all of the marketing myself, but I would gladly let a traditional publisher handle it next time. However, the trend seems to be for authors to do more of their marketing, so perhaps it’s a good thing I started out this way.

Kaleidoscope Summer: Book One of the Serenity Cove Series
by Rita Garcia
Inspirational Romance Fiction
Reviewed by Susan Keefe
Serenity Cove is a small town where everyone knows each other, the same families have lived there for generations and skeletons are settled nicely into cupboards.
Therefore, when Samantha and her hearing dog Goldie arrive spectacularly in town, she soon becomes the centre of attention, especially when people discover her identity.
Samantha, who became deaf at 15 years of age, is a beautiful, capable, independent woman and soon romance is in the air as she captures the heart of police chief Logan Delatorre. She makes some good friends, especially Logan’s sister Mandy, however, in towns like this, there are always unusual characters and mischief-makers.
We follow her on her rollercoaster journey of discovery, sharing her emotions as she discovers her roots and, with her faith in God, comes to terms with her discoveries.
Anybody who has lived in a small village or community can immediately emphasise with Serenity Cove, its very real characters and the life this book portrays.
A lovely story, which captivated me from page one and kept me guessing throughout with its twists and turns.
Meradeth’s never been a big fan of talking about herself, but if you really want to know, here are some random tidbits about her:
She’s a Northern California girl, but now lives and teaches anthropology in Montana. When she’s not writing, she’s sequencing dead people’s DNA. For fun! She’s been writing since she was 11 years old. It’s her hobby, her passion, and she’s so happy to get to share her work!
If she could have a super-power, it would totally be flying. Which is a little strange, because she’s terrified of heights.
About the Book:
“They are everywhere, can be anyone, and are always the last person you’d expect.” When Tom stumbles across his grandfather’s journal, he’s convinced the old man was crazier than he thought. The book contains references to beings called the Sary, immortals who are assigned to save humans on the verge of suicide. They certainly aren’t allowed to fall in love with mortals. Which the journal claims Tom’s grandfather did, resulting in his expulsion from the Sary. As strange as the journal seems, Tom can’t get the stories out of his head; especially when he finds the photo of his grandfather’s wings.
Tom’s only distraction is Ari, the girl he studies with for their chemistry class.
Ari has one goal when she arrives in town: see how much Tom knows about the Sary and neutralize the situation. This isn’t a normal job, but protecting the secrecy of the Sary is vital. If Tom is a threat to exposing the Sary to the public, fate has a way of taking care of the situation, usually ending with the mortal’s death. While Ari spends time with Tom, he becomes more than just an assignment, but how far can a relationship go when she can’t tell him who she really is? When she finds out just how much Tom actually knows about the Sary, Ari is forced to choose between her wings, and her heart.
THE CHEMISTRY OF FATE is a companion to COLORS LIKE MEMORIES and is set before the latter takes place. It is geared toward an upper YA, or New Adult audience.
Q: Tell us why readers should buy THE CHEMISTRY OF FATE.
A: I think you should pickup a copy of Chemistry if you happen to enjoy a star-crossed love, a little flying, magic, and thinking about the secrets we all keep. Especially if you happen to like secrets that can be deadly!
Q: What makes a good paranormal romance?
A: For me, the characters come first. Can you identify with them, and do you root for them? Of course, a story that catches hold of you and doesn’t let go is just as important!
Q: What is a regular writing day like for you?
A: I honestly would love to know! I don’t have too many regular writing days, I’ll admit. Most of the time, I’m trying to eek in a few hours here and there, often in the evenings after a full day of teaching at the university.
Q: What do you find most rewarding about being an author?
A: When someone reads my stories. Mostly when they enjoy them and have a good time getting lost in my world, but I’m pretty happy with just reading them, too!
Q: What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever received that you’d like to pass to other authors?
A: The best advice would have to be that you can’t please everyone. Make as many people happy as you can, but don’t sweat it if that’s not everyone—because it never will be! I tell myself this all the time when reading reviews (though I’ll be honest that it doesn’t always work!)
Mark All is the author of paranormal thrillersThe Spellcaster’s Grimoire and Mystic Witch, published by ImaJinn Books in trade paperback and eBook formats. He has won two international writing awards and contributed to Computer Legends, Lies & Lore.
Mystic Witch received a 5 Star review from the Paranormal Romance Guild, and 3½ stars (out of 4½ possible stars) from RT Book Reviews.
Mark is a full-time author after a career as an instructional systems designer at a Fortune 16 company. Prior to his work in computer-based training, he held jobs ranging from gravedigger to FM radio announcer to professional rock guitarist.
Mark presents writing workshops and taught his “Planning Your Novel” course at the Spruill Center for the Arts.
He earned a Masters degree in computer-based education and a Bachelor of Music cum laude.
Yes, I do think people are born with varying amounts of talent. But more important is the amount of desire to write, which determines how much you’re willing to put in the time to master the craft. I recommend Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers for great insight into succeeding at any endeavour and inspiration to make it happen. My college classical guitar instructor said everyone must master technique, and then you’d see how good a guitarist you are. So if you master your craft, not just prose, but story structure, characterization, and the like, you’ll be writing publishable books. They might not be as good as Stephen King or Nora Roberts or Jonathan Franzen, but there are many levels of success.
What was your inspiration for The Spellcaster’s Grimoire?
The “ancient, eldritch tome” is a trope that always gave me chill bumps, and I wanted to write about a lost book of magic for years. I love stories about a hidden or forgotten artifact that holds mystic powers both great and terrible. It can be a metaphor for the power of the unconscious mind, or our latent potential, and engenders stories about personal growth, which seems like magic—because it really is.
What themes do you like to explore in your writing?
Personal growth and self-fulfillment. I think all stories are models of human problem-solving, and fulfilling your potential in response to a crisis is the ultimate challenge.
How long did it take you to complete the novel?
Hard to say, because there are lapses of down-time while the editor reviews it and then revisions for the editor, then proof-reading the galley. Usually it takes me a month or two to plot the novel, maybe three to write it, and another two or three months to do at least a couple of revisions and proof. Let’s throw in some down time to deal with life events, and say nine months. Then you may need to do querying, submissions, and marketing—during which time you’re working on the next novel!
Are you disciplined? Describe a typical writing day.
I usually write in the mornings when I’m fresh, maybe three hours, before lunch. Somewhere in there I’ll break for a walk for exercise. In the afternoon I might revise a previous work, keep in touch with social networking, do errands, or get in my guitar practice or record original music.
What did you find most challenging about writing this book?
Coming up with an interesting and workable concept is always the most challenging for me. You can have lots of exciting ideas, and you can use story structure to turn anything into a book, but you need to do something different, something that hasn’t been done before, put a new spin on your premise.
What do you love most about being an author?
Hearing people discuss my book and argue about the characters, the way I do with books I’ve enjoyed. That to me is success, that people enjoyed the book and care about the characters.
Did you go with a traditional publisher, small press, or did you self publish? What was the process like and are you happy with your decision?
For my previous book, Mystic Witch, I queried a number of agents and came close, but didn’t quite snag one. I tried the only major publisher I could determine accepted non-agented queries. At the time, I was becoming aware that there are a number of great small presses out there, so I decided to give that a try before giving up and moving on to the next book. I hadn’t queried many before ImaJinn Books signed me to a two book contract. At a time when major publishers are signing fewer new authors, it’s wonderful to have small presses like ImaJinn that are putting out quality books to provide choices for readers tired of the big name authors who publish the same book over and over.
Bestselling witchcraft author Trish Sinclair has a shameful secret: she’s a lousy spellcaster, and the spells in her books belong to others. So when a dying warlock entrusts her with an ancient and powerful grimoire, she runs for her life from his murderer, psychotic witch Kate Cavanaugh. Kate pursues Trish relentlessly to obtain the grimoire, which holds spells to command the fearsome power of a magic crystal hidden in town—and Kate is determined to have that power.
When the town coven refuses to help Trish protect the grimoire, she is forced to turn to cynical warlock Aidan McCarthy, who has a secret agenda of his own, and Rain Devereaux, a novice witch whose spellcasting abilities are even worse than Trish’s. As Kate unleashes the elemental might of tornados and ice storms on the trio, they desperately struggle to defeat her.
But Kate is too powerful, and she manages to steal the grimoire and unearth the crystal. Trish knows Kate will use the stone’s power to exact her deadly revenge on Aidan and the town coven unless Trish can manifest her latent magical abilities to save them.
Chasing Victory is a delightful debut novel by first-time author Joanne Jaytanie.
Our beautiful protagonist, Victory Winters, is a veterinarian and geneticist specializing in molecular biology for Claremont Research in Poulsbo, Washington. She also has a special innate ability she keeps secret: she has almost a telepathic gift to communicate with animals. As head of her department, she’s currently researching canine DNA and its potential benefits to humans.
Then one day, Victory receives a cryptic call from Jeffrey, an old friend and colleague who she hasn’t seen or spoken to in 5 years. Like her, he’s also a veterinarian and geneticist working for a competitor company, Biotec. Jeffrey insists he needs her help and asks her to meet him in a picnic spot. But, to her horror, once there she secretly witnesses his murder.
Soon after, she’s approached by a representative of Biotec with an offer to work for them. They claim that Jeffrey is working overseas, and they want her to take his place. Though she doesn’t trust them, she decides to play along in order to investigate her friend’s murder. But things go unexpectedly wrong when instead she’s kidnapped to a secluded island and forced to do research, injecting humans with wolf DNA. Unbeknown to Victory at first, the madman CEO wants to create the perfect invincible army.
Thus, Victory is soon pulled into a vortex of intrigue, blackmail and murder. Together with the hero, Tristan Farraday, a naval officer who also has telepathic abilities and who is sent undercover to investigate Biotec’s experiments, Victory must find a way to stop the company from carrying out their horrific plans and to get out of the island alive.
This was a fun, light, entertaining read! They story is compelling and the hero and heroine sympathetic. Victory is intelligent, yet caring and sensitive. Tristan is the perfect combination, not too alpha, not too soft. The action moves at a pretty quick pace, and there’s a lot of action and romantic suspense to keep readers turning pages. One thing I especially enjoyed about this story is that the love between Victory and Tristan develops gradually and organically. I certainly look forward to reading more works from this author. Recommended for fans of paranormal romance!
Melodie Campbell achieved a personal best this year when Library Digest compared her to Janet Evanovich.
Melodie got her start writing comedy (stand-up and columns.) In1999, she opened the Canadian Humour Conference. She has over 200 publications including 100 comedy credits, 40 short stories and 4 novels. Her fifth novel, a mob caper entitled The Goddaughter’s Revenge (Orca Books) will be released Oct. 1. She has won 6 awards for fiction, and was a finalist for both the 2012 Derringer and Arthur Ellis Awards.
Melodie is the Executive Director of Crime Writers of Canada. Her humour column ‘Bad Girl’ appears in The Sage.
Q: Welcome to the Dark Phantom, Melodie! Tell us why readers should buy ROWENA AND THE DARK LORD.
A: Need a laugh? Want to escape? That’s what I’m all about. I’m a former comedy writer who has gone over to the dark side of writing comic fantasy. ROWENA AND THE DARK LORD is a rollicking adventure novel, with romance, adventure, magic and sex…and hopefully you will find it ‘Hot and Hilarious” as many reviewers called the first book in the series.
Q: What makes a good comic time travel novel?
A: Fast and lean writing. A protagonist you like and want to be for a little while. OH, and maybe a few attractive warrior men to bring up the heat. But really, I think the trick to writing any novel is to provide the reader with an entertaining escape.
I write in first person. I like the reader to *become* the protagonist, to be pitched into Rowena’s head and experience what she does. That’s entertainment.
Q: What is a regular writing day like for you?
A: I’m the Executive Director of Crime Writers of Canada, so I have a day job. My writing, like many authors, is done mainly at night, from 8 until midnight, and on weekends.
I tell my writing students that writing takes time, and you have to give up something if you want to write. So I gave up the gym. And housework. I’m quite happy, really.
Q: What do you find most rewarding about being an author?
A: I’ve won six awards for fiction – BUT – have to admit – the most rewarding day of my writing life was very recent, when a reader found my email address and wrote to tell me that ROWENA THROUGH THE WALL (first in the Land’s End series) was the best book she had ever read. I actually cried. That’s the best reward I can imagine. And readers like her are the reason I continue to write.
Q: What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever received that you’d like to pass to other authors?
A: Writing is work – hard work. Be prepared for that. We all think it should be easier, but it’s not. Sometimes, in those magic moments, it doesn’t seem like work, and that is grand. Those are the moments we live for.

Dark magic…dark passions….
When Rowena is abducted from Arizona and taken back to medieval Land’s End, one thing is clear: she must learn to control her powers of magic.

The stakes are raised when the Dark Lord reappears and traps Rowena in a cyclone of lust and passion. Once again, she is torn between the man she loves and the mage who fires her desire.

His short story THE DOOR’S OPEN won the HarperCollins Authonomy Competition (Christmas 2010.)

Joshua’s latest book is the paranormal suspense novel, Terminus.
Interestingly enough, I would. I’ve enjoyed writing stories since the first grade, though it was only in 2003 that I began to do this professionally.
What was your inspiration for TERMINUS?
Many of the themes arose from my pondering on the ideas of mortality, eternity, spiritual warfare, and the like. I had read a book called “Fearless” by Max Lucado, and a particular chapter about facing death and beyond unafraid touched me particularly. I believe this was the final push that took TERMINUS from a proposal to a finished book.
What themes do you like to explore in your writing?
As I began to conceive the story of TERMINUS, I felt it not important not only to write a thriller filled with action, high-stakes, and a romance, but to express some perspectives on the subject of spiritual warfare, angels, demons, heaven, and eternity in metaphorical terms as well.
How long did it take you to complete the novel?
From original idea to publication, four years. But I wrote and published several books in the interim.
Are you disciplined? Describe a typical writing day.
I try to be disciplined. My typical writing day will include some reading of the Bible, prayer, looking over the previous day’s writing, and writing the next chapters. If I’ve completed the book and am in the process of marketing it, I will spend more time on social media engaging my readers. If I’m in writing mode, the social media drops to a minimum. I think my readers have learned that about me over the past few years.
What did you find most challenging about writing this book?
Trusting my instincts and trying not to explain things to the reader.
What do you love most about being an author?
Being able to communicate ideas and thoughts that touch and change lives. I love receiving emails or messages that tell me about how my book has affected a reader in a positive way. There’s nothing quite as rewarding.
Where can we find you on the web?
Please sign up for my rare-to-occasional newsletter here: www.Joshua-Graham.com/newsletter . I’ll be giving heads up on new releases, exclusive content, giveaways and contests, and other cool ideas. I don’t do too many newsletters because I’m way too busy writing books, but I will try to make it fun and engaging.
