BLOOD ETERNAL: an Awakened by Blood novel by Marie Treanor

Secrets don't disappear after seduction...

Elizabeth Silk is struggling to reconcile her passion for the vampire overlord Saloman and her allegiance to the vampire hunters. When a shocking vampire revolt calls Saloman away from her, she refuses to follow him.

To make matters worse, Saloman's beloved cousin Luk has been
found and awakened by one of his greatest enemies. Frenzied
with bloodlust, Luk embarks on a killing spree and prepares to
expose Saloman's biggest vulnerability: Elizabeth.

But under Saloman's regime, vampires have become less concerned with secrecy, no longer willing to hide their power. Rumors are swirling about attacks on humans. After Saloman joins forces with the vampire hunters to consolidate his power, Elizabeth begins to understand her role in the inevitable collision of the two worlds. She could bring resolution between vampires and humans - if she can manage to stay alive long enough to play both sides.

A Beautiful New Contemporary Romance From Sarah Grimm

Today on our Cyber Launch Party Blog, we're celebrating Sarah Grimm's brand new release AFTER MIDNIGHT!

As a young girl, Sarah Grimm always had a story to tell. At times they were funny, other times scary, but they were always happily-ever-after.

Sarah spent years scribbling in notebooks, filling the pages with partial chapters and the margins with titles and story ideas. She told friends that the characters spoke to her, and that she was compelled to get their stories on paper. Eventually, she sat down at a computer and wrote her first tale of dangerously sexy suspense. That book, Not Without Risk, was nominated for Long and Short of It's Best Book 2010.

Sarah lives in West Michigan with her husband, two sons and three miniature schnauzers. Between mom's taxi service, parts runs, and answering the phone for the family marine repair business, Sarah can be found curled in her favorite chair, crafting her next novel.

A New Release In Alexandra Kane's Phoenix Files

All day today on our Cyber Launch Party Blog, we're celebrating Alexandra Kane's brand new release EMBRACE THE NIGHT, the second book in her sexy paranormal series The Phoenix Files.

A woman, a mother, a wife, and a self-proclaimed Southern Belle, Kianna Alexander (also writing as Alexandra Kane) may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but she can write a tall tale in a single sitting. Born and raised among the pine trees of North Carolina, Kianna has always been a voracious reader. Cereal boxes, billboards, and other unconventional sources fed her unquenchable appetite for the written word. Soon, as she entered adolescence, Kianna realized that she enjoyed writing the words as much as she enjoyed reading them.

First, Kianna tried her hand at poetry, but upon discovering it to be both sappy and crappy, she moved on to plays. That was short lived, as writing those darn stage directions was both boring and maddening! Soon she discovered that prose, and romance in particular, is where it's at.

Writing African American and Interracial romance, in the sub genres of romanctic suspense, historicals, and paranormal romance as both Kianna Alexander and Alexandra Kane, she also dabbles in young adult romance.

Two Young Children+ One Husband+ Freelance Daytime Career+ Fiction Writing= A Very Busy Lady!

Celebrating Two Vampire Releases For Heidi Betts

Today on our Cyber Launch Party Blog, we're celebrating the release of  MUST LOVE VAMPIRES a brand new release from Heidi Betts and the mass market release of Heidi's THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

National bestselling author HEIDI BETTS loves all things scary and paranormal...though she's not a big fan of things that go bump in the night. (Hello! Sleeping, here.) When she's not writing about vampires (among other things), she often dreams of being an undead creature of the night - if only so that she can sleep all day, stay up all night, and never age another minute or gain another pound. The drinking of blood doesn't necessarily appeal, but it's something she thinks she could get used to. Plus, she hears it tastes like chicken.

For news, information about upcoming books, and tons of mischievous fun, visit Heidi online at heidibetts.com  and heidibetts.com/WIPSandChains .

MUST LOVE VAMPIRES by Heidi Betts

Love At First Bite

Nightclub dancer Chloe Lamoureaux just met the man of her dreams: Aidan Raines is charming, considerate, rich, and hot. Of course, he's a little mysterious about his age. And his favorite drink. And he's not much for sunlight. But he's asked her to marry him, and she's ready to do it. Sure, she has a few secrets too - but they'll have plenty of time to work things out while they're living happily ever after. Right?

Her identical twin sister, Chuck, isn't so sure. Maybe reporting for the local Bigfoot-sighting tabloid doesn't make her an expert, but to Chuck, Aidan and his brother Sebastian look like honest-to-Dracula vampires. Especially Sebastian: beguiling, seductive, and just a hint of dangerous. Maybe she wouldn't mind him taking a little taste. But with Chloe's life in the balance, she has to know - do they want hot love or hot blood? Or maybe...a little of both?
