COVER REVEAL! LOST HEROS 2: FIREFLY’S TALE BY A. CARINA BARRY (@GHBTOURS)

 

Lost Heroes 2:  Firefly’s Tale

By- A. Carina Barry

 

Super hero romance told from the female point-of-view.

Amelia Storm walked away from her friends, her family, and her home after a catastrophic event on set at a television show.  She’s spent the past five years singing in Germany and touring in Europe trying to distance herself from her memories as “Firefly”.  But the tour is finally coming to the U.S. and she can’t deny that the only man she’s really wanted is the one she left behind with her old life.  But can romancing Teriel, the famous winged flyer, end in anything but disaster?  Or will trying to obtain her dreams cost her everything she holds dear once more?

 

About the Author- 

A. Carina Barry has an eclectic writing style that swings like a pendulum between the polar opposites of love and death. Between these two points lies the vast totality of human existence. She believes that if you can master these two extremes the rest will fall into place. She is a sucker for a writing dare and has appeared in the ‘Haikus for Lovers: An Anthology of Love and Lust” by Buttontapper Press and is featured in “The Rogues Gallery” anthology by Firbolg Publishing. But poetry holds a special place in her heart, as it drew her and her husband together. When not writing, she enjoys reading, writing, video games, exotic cuisine, and spending time with her pets.

COVER REVEAL! HEARKEN BY KRISTEN DAY (@GHBTOURS)

 

Title-Hearken

Daughters of the Sea Series # 4

By- Kristen Day

Expected Publication Date- July 22, 2014

 

Sometimes our souls hear what our minds and hearts refuse to accept. It will whisper its continuous cadence until we’re strong enough to glimpse the truth. When the soul’s whispers morph into screams, we’re forced to gaze into the mirrors of time and see ourselves for who we really are. Would you be able to handle what gazes back?

 

 

About The Author-

I am a southern belle at heart with a crazy streak that desperately tries to escape at every opportunity. I love all things nostalgic, rustic, and quirky. I’ve been told I see the world through rose-colored glasses, but I prefer to think of them as kaleidoscope glasses – swirling and morphing reality into something I can digest (who hasn’t pretended those pasty lima beans were really kiwi strawberry jelly beans?).

I am the author of the DAUGHTERS OF THE SEA trilogy, which includes FORSAKEN, AWAKEN, and CHOSEN (Winter 2012). I love all books, but really enjoy writing young adult, paranormal romances. I’ve loved to write for as long as I can remember. My first published work was my poem RED in second grade (you guessed it – it was a poem about the color red – life altering, I know) that won me 5 gold stars and a spot in my elementary school’s poetry book. That’s when my addiction to the written word officially began. I was the only kid in fifth grade that actually enjoyed diagramming sentences. Go ahead and laugh – it’s okay.

When I’m not writing I’m making jewelry, painting, drinking sweet tea, watching the discovery channel, or going on random adventures in the mountains of North Carolina with my amazing husband. I graduated from Appalachian State University and dream of becoming a full time novelist.

COVER REVEAL! HOPEFUL BY LOUISE BAY

Expected publication: July 15th 2014

Hopeful Synopsis

9c001-add-to-goodreads-button3

***Not suitable for younger readers due to sexual content and language.***

Guys like Joel Wentworth weren’t supposed to fall in love with girls like me. He could have had his pick of the girls on campus, but somehow the laws of nature were defied and we fell crazy in love.

For a short time, I thought it would be for infinity.

On July 10, 2006, immediately after graduation, Joel left for New York. And, despite him wanting me to go with him, I’d refused, unwilling to disappoint my parents and risk the judgment of my friends. I hadn’t seen him again. Never even spoke to him.

I’ve spent the last eight years working hard to put my career front and center in my life, dodging any personal complications. I have a strict no-dating policy. I’ve managed to piece together a reality that works for me.

Until now.

Now, Joel’s coming back to London.

And I need to get over him before he gets over here.

 

HopefulAboutAuthor

Ruined by romantic mini-series of the seventies and eighties, I love all things romantic. There’s not enough of it in real life so I’ll settle for books and films.

I love the rain, the West Wing, London, days when you don’t have to wear make-up, being alone, being with friends, elephants and champagne.

THE ONLY
THING BETTER THAN A SURPRISE FLING…

 

Sugar
Creek, Vermont, is a world away from Los Angeles for high-powered,
media-obsessed Harper Day. When she took the job doing publicity for the
Cupcake Lovers, she never expected to be won over by the town’s old-fashioned
charms. But that was before she moved into the Victorian vacation home of
her dreams and fell in with a man whose good looks and irresistible ways are
anything but small-town…

IS FINDING
TRUE AND LASTING LOVE.

 

Sam McCloud
is a widowed father of two. He and bossy, big-city Harper appear to have
nothing in common… though the attraction they feel toward one another cannot be
denied. But will their romance last longer than the day’s headlines? There’s
more to Harper than meets the eye, and as it turns out, she needs to get
married—fast. Little does Harper know that family-man Sam will do whatever it
takes to keep her in Sugar Creek—even if that means taking matters into his own
hands. And never letting her go…in the fourth novel in the Cupcake Lovers series, In
the Mood For Love.
