Call it an allergy or a family curse, either way it boiled down to the same problem: Julietta Romero couldn’t go within six feet of mistletoe.
Forty-eight weeks, from January to the beginning of December, were spent filling the position as a top executive at a prestigious marketing firm—a five-year running record without a single incident. As long as she continued taking all her vacation hours all at the same time, nothing would change. Then, the worst scenario happened: with only a handful of days left before her flight, she found herself working round the clock on the firm’s biggest deal yet, and her boss wasn’t letting her leave until it was signed, sealed, and delivered.
Luke Winslow was in love with women, parties, and the holidays, and not necessarily in that order. Taking over one of his father’s companies didn’t fit into any of his plans, nor did a relationship that lasted longer than a roll in the sheets. There wasn’t a single person who had made him want to settle down and be serious, that was until she fell into his arms… several times. Now, he’ll do anything possible to stop her from escaping his charms, including holding off putting his John Hancock on the business deal his father instructed him to close.
It’s up to the magic of the season to bring this unlikely couple together with a little help from a pair of High Heels and Mistletoe.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference.

King, USA Today Bestselling Author
An urgent plea for help leads Adam Hunter and the Relic Hunters to the ruins of Poenari Castle in Romania. In the former home of the most infamous mass-murderer in history, Vlad the Impaler, they find that history and myth collide more than ever before.
As their actions lead to the return of an evil long-thought banished to the pages of fiction, Adam and his team soon find that they are not the hunters, but the hunted. The darkness pursues them across the globe and nowhere, not even the British Museum itself, is safe.
One by one they fall until only Adam remains, facing the horrifying wrath of the Blood of the Dragon alone. Can he save his friends and survive the greatest fight of his life or has Adam’s luck finally run out?
Martin Ferguson – I live in Norwich, England and am currently working on the young adult adventure and historical series ‘Relic Hunters’. Inspired by the myths and legends my parents told me as a boy and with the help of my ever-suffering wife, a teacher and history graduate, ‘Eagle of the Empire’ was the first entry in the ‘Relic Hunters’ series.
When not writing, I am training or at least planning my next challenge. Following a serious knee injury, I was told by surgeons never to run or play sports again. Stubborn and reckless, much like the characters in my writing, I have not listened and have completed the Three Peaks Challenge, the Great North Run, the Greater Manchester Marathon and the London Marathon.

When an Empire Won’t Hear The Truth, Rowena Must Learn to Lie
Still reeling from the loss of their human slaves, the vampires of the sunless city of Sanguinia are angry and divided. Rowena and Vincenzo, her wealthy vampire boyfriend, are set to tackle a new threat, a reactionary political front that threatens to repeal all the progress they have made so far in bringing equality to the country.
When Vincenzo encourages her to take on new responsibilities, Rowena accepts a job at Gargoyle, one of of Sanguinia’s top news networks. In theory, they value her perspective as a human, but in reality she struggles against an uncaring editor and the barely restrained hostility of her co-workers. Just before she goes on air for the first time, she’s assaulted by co-anchor and rising media personality, Titus Severus.
Ignored by crew and her superiors, Rowena looks for a new way to make a difference and, betting on a long shot, she aims to interview the mysterious prince of Kemet. The prince is young, charming, intelligent, and just as invested in improving life for the humans in Sanguinia as Rowena is herself.
Hitting it off with the prince just as a gulf forms between Rowena and Vincenzo, her exclusive interview with foreign royalty is set to propel her to overnight stardom, but can Rowena hold onto the connections she needs to keep Sanguinia’s humans safe and free, or will Titus sweep away her efforts and usher in a new age of hatred and violence?

I’ve given this club more years of my life than I care to remember, most recently giving them my all as sergeant-at-arms. My life is settled and just the way I like it. I’m too old to change now.
I’ve never had a woman to call my own, nor fathered kids, and never felt I missed out. My brothers sometimes joke my motorcycle is my old lady, and I can’t argue.
So when a photographer wants to feature my baby I can’t resist showing her off. It should have been simple, instead it brought complications that I never dreamed off.
Mary
I’m a frazzled single mom of a seventeen-year-old girl whose life seems to revolve around challenging me. She’s not quite adult, but doesn’t see herself as a child, constantly pushing at boundaries.
I spend my time trying to keep one step ahead of her, but if I give an inch, she takes a mile. Her latest endeavour? To model for a perfect stranger. Oh, the battles when I said she wasn’t going without me as chaperone.
I was right, something was off about the situation, but what it was took a while to emerge. I can’t imagine how I’d have coped if it hadn’t been for the gruff biker called Grumbler.

Manda’s life’s always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman?
There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected.
Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter.
Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.

When a perfectly preserved German U-Boat from World War II is discovered, the last thing the Relic Hunters expect to find are artefacts that were stolen by Hitler and thought to be lost to the world forever.
What should be a routine excavation quickly turns into a deadly chase in the pursuit of Europe’s stolen relics. Ghosts from their past return to haunt Adam and his team and in their journey they discover the terrifying truth of Hitler’s lust for power.
Trapped in the depths and darkness of a nightmare the world has forgotten, the Relic Hunters are forced to draw upon all their skills and experience to survive. Surrounded by enemies, Adam and his friends face no choice but to fight if they are to escape the War of the Damned.
Martin Ferguson – I live in Norwich, England and am currently working on the young adult adventure and historical series ‘Relic Hunters’. Inspired by the myths and legends my parents told me as a boy and with the help of my ever-suffering wife, a teacher and history graduate, ‘Eagle of the Empire’ was the first entry in the ‘Relic Hunters’ series.
When not writing, I am training or at least planning my next challenge. Following a serious knee injury, I was told by surgeons never to run or play sports again. Stubborn and reckless, much like the characters in my writing, I have not listened and have completed the Three Peaks Challenge, the Great North Run, the Greater Manchester Marathon and the London Marathon.

Billionaire Martin Taylor needs a wife to secure a deal worth potentially billions. He goes to get a book signed for his sister, only to discover that the romance author is a friend from his hometown in Montana. His sister and Samantha were best friends. He doesn’t know why they had a falling out (which was because Samanatha had a crush on Martin).
He’s a playboy and the only way to change his image is to get married, even better to the fact that it’s a woman he knows from way back when. It’ll look believable. So, he offers her $2 mil to marry him for 18 months and then they can get divorced.
It’s all in the contract – she has to call him Daddy, no sex, the money, all of it.
Martin also has a secretive Daddy Doms club in NYC, which he takes Samantha to once they’re married, and shows her the lifestyle he prefers. It’s highly sexual, involves discipline, but also pleasure.
Things start to get complicated when he takes a trip to Europe for work and is caught by the Paparazzi appearing back in his old playboy ways again. Except he wasn’t cheating on her – he was getting hit on though and the image, it looked bad.
She leaves him and returns home to Montana. Martin chases after her. Buys a ranch (partners with cowboy Jackson that is getting divorced and needs to sell his property but doesn’t want to give up the land) and opens up a new Daddy Dom club (Western Daddies).
There’s also a kidnapping (Samantha gets kidnapped by her ex-husband), the NYC club gets burned down, and a few other suspense-filled moments.

Gwen has lived an isolated life, raised by adoptive parents who taught her the art of wizardry. Her brother, Seth, is her biggest fan, and greatest critic, especially when she persuades him to join her on a quest to unlock the Tirumfall Tower, a mysterious structure that holds the secrets of the greatest wizards that ever lived.
Isabella has not been as lucky having grown up in the care of a demon lord who thinks that she is the chosen child of prophecy. That legend proclaims that one will be born who will lead the demons of the west in a war against the men of the east. Unfortunately for Isabella, she doesn’t have any penchant for magic nor is she a warmonger. Her only wish is to discover her real birthright.
Gwen and Isabella embark upon paths that lead them to each other and as they meet, the intersection of their life’s experiences creates a conflict that will test them both. If Gwen gains access to the ultimate magic inside Tirumfall Tower, how will that power affect her and the people she loves? And if Isabella finds out who she is, will she be able to surmount her doubts and embrace the reality of her birth?
The journeys the two women take are dangerous and fraught with setbacks that threaten their lives. Will the nurturing atmosphere that Gwen grew up with win over the genetic makeup that rages within her? Will having power corrupt either of them as they maneuver their families and loved ones to do their bidding?
This is the emotional conclusion to the Tirumfall Trilogy, a tale set in the fantasy world of wizards and dragons, swords and demons, and power and war amidst love, friendship, and family loyalty. Two women, two hearts, two desires clashing in a fractured world.

Clíodhna has three children and a missing husband, and now finds herself in the middle of growing quarrels with the new church.
When she encounters a strange man in the woods near her house, she discovers a kindred soul, someone to teach her to harness her own innate talents and powers.
At the new church, she develops a friendship with one of the monks, and shares many conversations with him about life, philosophy, and theology. For once, it seems her life is becoming a thing to be savored rather than a thing to simply survive.
Her new teacher, however, clashes with the ideals of the church. Her relationship with the monk is another source of conflict when a new church leader arrives.
A few rash decisions means she must now change her own fate. That means choosing between her happiness—perhaps even her life—and her family. It might be better for all involved if she leaves her children with a trusted friend and disappears into another world.
Can she flee a bad situation, leaving her children to the mercies of fate? Or does she have the power and ability to face the danger herself?
Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with ‘A’, and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Compulsion, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels.
Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she’s a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were.
She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth, writing magical realism stories in both historical fantasy and time travel flavors.
Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.

Myths—legends—stories—they all amounted to one thing: half-truths. Through evolution things changed. Revealing false information became a profession trusted only to a select few. Sometimes, however, the unknown preferred anonymity.
The Fawns researched the unusual on a daily basis. That didn’t mean everyone in the family was happy with the lifestyle. Scars came in a number of varieties and Clara Fawn carried them all, visible or not. No one ever questioned them or her before. That was about to change…
Somewhere along the line, moving became as common as Sunday night dinner. Some bites were good, others not quite as palatable. Their new hometown overflowed with strange myths. Not waiting to hear them before entering the woods was the last mistake any of them would make.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference.
Fast forward to today…
