Happy New Year!

I hope 2015 is rocking for you like it is for me! This past weekend I had the privilege to speak to the NOLA Stars, a North Louisianan Chapter of Romance Writers of America. They were a marvelous crowd. I'm excited to participate in their conference in March. If you're looking for a good place to start your adventure into publishing, I encourage you to attend! Two years ago this convention set my feet on a new path. It's worth it! Learn more HERE!

MUMMY-WRAP-UP PARTY!

 

Happy Halloween!

Yeah, it's a bit early. But we are going to celebrate the season and have some fun. 

Thanks for joining me and all the Love Potion No. 11 authors this month. It's been great sharing their stories with you. 

Now for the fun! Enjoy this glimpse of our seasonal celebrations. 

Make sure to post in the comments to *WIN* a copy of Love Potion No. 11!

 Olivia Hardin in high school with her sisters (above) and recently with her nieces (below). SO cute! Isn't she adorable? Do you still dress up as an adult? Post your best or worst costume ideas!

 Stephanie Nelson sent over an easy recipe for all of us to enjoy! Have you tried this? I might have to, it looks easy and yummy. What's your favorite holiday delight?

 The intriguing and oh so lovely, Liz Schulte could be stirring up a cauldron of trouble? What do you think? Have you ever played a Halloween Trick? Tell us!

 And who doesn't love Potter? Hello! Classic costume by Melinda VanLone! What was your favorite Harry Potter book/movie?

 Tawdra Kandel is totally rocking the Pink Ladies gig. Which Pink Lady are you most like? Take this quiz and find out. Post your results in the comments! Pink Ladies Quiz

 

 Autumn Dawn has more time to write during this season. What about you? Do the holidays bring a lighter or heavier work load for you? (Lots of baking, huh? I'm coming to your house!)

And finally, yours truly a couple years ago at a party dressed as a flapper girl! I had a blast until that feather fell in my face. LOL! Have you ever had any costume malfunctions?

Well, my ghosts and ghouls, I hope you have a safe and joy-filled Fall! Thanks for joining in on the fun. Don't forget to comment to win a digital copy of Love Potion No.11- available for a limited time.

Meet Stephanie!

 She resides in Illinois with her husband and their furry children. When she's not writing, she enjoys playing Super Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong, fishing, reading, and spending time with her family.
*Stephanie is also a talented designer. She has done two covers for me(Divine Awakening & The Roles We Play) and I adore them!*

Taming The Wolf

Attacked by a wolf while hiking, Anna Avery's life just got a little hairier. Living in the Big Horn mountains in Wyoming, with a group of werewolves who are more animal than human, Anna must try to hold onto her human side. It's not easy when the alpha continues to persuade her into his bed, while another wolf is chomping at the bit to become her mate. To top it all off, dead bodies are showing up and it just so happens that Anna was the last to see them alive. She'll have to work to prove her innocence and taming the wolf who bites first and asks questions never.

JoAnna's Review:

As some of you know, I'm a huge fan of were-anything. Wolves, Bear, Felines, it doesn't matter. SO I've read a lot of werewolf books. I have to say, I *LOVED* this story. From the moment you meet Anna you connect with her. There were a few places where I assumed one thing would happen, but Stephanie threw me a  twist. And Adam, YUMMY! Can you say sexy alpha male? When it looks like the odds are stacked against them, Nelson still delivers an ending that will make you smile-and buy the next book. Buy Love Potion No.11 for this story alone. It's worth that whole 99cents!

Wednesday, October 29th is our Mummy-Wrap-Up Party! Join us and see Halloween pictures from the LPN11 authors. I'll be giving away a FREE digital copy of Love Potion No.11!

Lovingly, 

Jo

Iron & Hemlock author, Autumn Dawn!

 Fall under the spell of Love Potion No. 11!

 

Throughout October meet the authors and books in this collection. Then join us on October 29th for a Mummy-Wrap-Up Party!

 Autumn is a professional writer and stay at home mom with three kids, a dog and an active imagination. She’s married to her high school sweetheart, John, who is known to bring her flowers "just because.” After 34 years in Alaska, she moved to Washington with her family to enjoy a state with actual seasons. She started self-publishing in 2010 after a string of rejections that read, “We love your writing, but we’re not sure how to market it.” She published on Smashwords, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, which lead to a number of bestsellers. After The Charmer hit #1 on Barnes & Noble for fantasy romance, she threw herself into editing and uploading her backlist.

Her income for 2011 was $100,000, far exceeding her best year with traditional publishing. In 2012, Amazon acquired Dorchester Books, which had picked up two of her books, and Autumn gave Amazon the rights to publish When Sparks Fly and No Words Alone (from the Sparks Series), believing that diversification is good business. While Autumn Dawn is grateful for the opportunities traditional publishing provided, she remains passionate about self-publishing. Keep an eye on her blog for news about upcoming books!

Iron & Hemlock

Life can change in the blink of an eye.

It was just an ordinary day when lightning struck and sent Jordan spinning back in time. Trapped in Victorian England, practical Jordan will have to abandon her disbelief in magic. Pursued by a sexy golden griffin and a dark fae who wants her blood, she just might rediscover the thrill of falling in love.

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to visit me on Monday for the final Love Potion No. 11 author! Then join us all on Wednesday, the 29th for the Mummy-Wrap-Up Party! 

Lovingly, 

Jo

Meet Melissa Lummis!

 Fall under the spell of Love Potion No. 11!

Throughout October meet the authors and books in this collection. Then join us on October 29th for a Mummy-Wrap-Up Party!

Melissa Lummis considers herself a truth seeker, a peaceful warrior, a paranormal and fantasy writer, an avid reader, a thru-hiker, a Penn Stater, a wife, a mother, and a free thinker.  She believes the universe conspires to help an adventurer.  And if we live our lives as if it is a daring adventure (and it is!), then everything we need will find its way to us.

Her books have been described as new age suspense in a fantasy setting, but they are also straight up, steamy Paranormal Romance.  The Love and Light Series is currently available at most ebook retailers, as well as the Little Flame Series, a spin off focusing on the character Fiamette from the Love and Light world.

Recently, she’s ventured into contemporary and erotic romance. Her first short story in this genre, Exquisite Folly, appeared in the anthology Just a Night, and a full-length novel is in the works. It’s a spin off of Exquisite Folly and will feature all of its characters. Keep an eye out next spring or subscribe to her newsletter to find out exactly when it will arrive.

She lives in rural Virginia with her husband, two children, an Alaskan Malamute, and a myriad of forest creatures.  The nature of her mind dictates that she write to stay sane.  Otherwise, her fertile imagination takes off on tangents of its own accord, creating scenarios and worlds that confuse the space-time continuum. Namaste, dear friends.

 

Enlightened

Loti Dupree is about to learn that karma’s a nightmare.  After her husband’s sudden illness and mysterious death, ominous nightmares and psychic attacks have her running for her life—and straight into the arms of a dark and broody vampire.

In his world of closely guarded secrets, every answer she uncovers leads to more questions. Sexy distractions teeter between dangerous and too good to quit, while Loti struggles with losing and finding herself in the arms of this mysterious creature. When the attacks intensify and friends become casualties, she must face the truth whether she wants to or not.

Someone out there will stop at nothing to kill her and only the vampire named Wolf and a destiny she isn’t prepared to embrace stands between her and an early grave.

Fun Fact:

The ashram in Enlightened is inspired by a real ashram right here in my neck of the woods, the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. Yes, there really is an ashram in Virginia. It’s called Yogaville and it’s an amazing place. The Lotus shrine I write about really exists, too, and when I first saw it, I knew it would be the perfect addition to my novel.

It was founded by Sri Swami Satchidananda and is a vibrant yoga community focusing on the precepts of Integral Yoga and the teachings of Satchidananda.

While my Marksville Ashram is nothing like the Yogaville ashram, considering it was founded by vampires, I did picture this incredibly beautiful, peaceful place while I was writing my novels.

 Hope you enjoyed meeting Melissa!

Lovingly, 

Jo
