When the doctors say there’s no hope, Santa begs to differ. After all, he claims, miracles are love combined with action to get the desired result. And at Christmas time, everyone deserves a miracle!
David Wright is dying from cancer. He is not expected to see another Christmas. At least that’s what the medical professionals say. Fortunately, Santa begs to differ. After all, modern medicine is nothing more than a best guess. Santa believes anything is possible until you give up. When Santa tells David’s wife, Joan, that heaven is full and she has to keep her husband alive, she is beside herself. She has no medical skills. How can she save anyone’s life? Set your skepticism aside as Santa embraces a family already mourning their father’s terminal diagnosis and teaches them that a Christmas miracle doesn’t always require heavenly intervention. Sometimes, all it takes is a family with enough love to create their own. As Santa says, a true miracle is when love combines with action to get the desired results. And only humans are capable of that. Will Santa’s words fall on deaf ears? Or will Team Wright find a way to save their father’s life?

Especially around newcomer Daniel, the arrogant wolf on her tail. He has the rough-around-the-edges sort of charm females howl for. Not to mention he’s devastatingly gorgeous. Worst of all, he knows it. And yet Daniel may be the least of her worries. Hikers have been going missing in her beloved forest. When the bodies are discovered all signs point to animal attacks. Wolves are spotted too close to town. Rumors are going around. If humans put the pieces of this gruesome puzzle together, it will be over for her pack. Time is running out. Of all the secrets crowding her life, Revel will have to face the biggest one of all – the truth of who she is.

Romance author Brooke May spends her days writing whatever her overactive imagination has brewed up and her evenings reading while she works alongside her mom. Telling stories is second natural to her, from a young age she has told anyone who would listen what she had thought up. Now, a mom of two, she splits her time writing, playing with her kids, and of course, hiking, hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling in her beloved Bighorn Mountains.

That poem triggered the idea of My Cowboy and soon she was sitting in front of her computer with her infant next to her writing her first love story that wasn’t a fanfiction.

Someone is killing lawyers, but a particular vampire lawyer won’t stay dead.
Donovan Trait is a marked man. Flamboyant, stunningly handsome, and notoriously insatiable, his attitude and style belie his skills in the courtroom.

You see, when Donovan isn’t seducing judges and juries, he’s a creature of the night. And now that someone has decided that it’s time to kill all lawyers, his lust for attention has set him in the murderer’s sights. The problem is, vampires don’t die. Not easily, anyway. That’s good news for Donovan, not so much for his very human lady love, also a target of the serial killer. Will several unsuccessful attempts on his life expose Donovan’s true nature? Will the killer learn the secret that will guarantee a permanent death? Or will Donovan finally manage to put an end to the killer’s murderous spree and live happily ever after, with his lady love?

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’m burned out, used up, and currently a sorry excuse for a demon. I need a break. In a bold move, I leave my bar in the hands of a fellow demon and head out of the city with no specific destination.
Finding myself in a small town called Juniper Lake, I think I’ve finally gotten a chance to rest and recharge. No more killing. No more vengeance. Just the sweet relief of peace and quiet.
But the joke’s on me. Juniper Lake is full of secrets. It looks like the old saying is true. There really is no rest for the wicked.

Iris is the newcomer in close-knit Salvation, West Virginia. It’s a small town, and she’s finding out that the townspeople don’t view outsiders with a favorable eye. She just wants to fit in and graduate from Salvation high, but there’s something about her that the other students just don’t get. Then she meets the mysterious Mr. Anu — also an outsider — who offers her an opportunity she can’t pass by.
Things in Salvation aren’t as sleepy as they seem, and the residents are quick to protect their own. What will Iris do, when she ends up in opposition with the townspeople, and more importantly, the formidable Sheriff Stone?
Things take a turn for the worse and Iris finds herself dropped out of school, homeless, and exposed when Sheriff Stone arrests her father. Mr. Anu is telling her crazy things about what she is and what she’s meant for. And then she meets the handsome and driven Jacob. She feels drawn to him, even though he doesn’t seem to want to return the favor.
She’ll have to decide if she believes in Mr. Anu, in soulmates, and most of all in herself. Will she be able to do all of that? Especially when she sprouts . . . fur?

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.

Ashley Pagano has always dreamed of being an artist both figuratively and literally. Her love of art was instilled by her mother who always inspired her to be creative either with a paintbrush or with a pen and paper. As far back as she can remember her life was always centered around introspection, storytelling and imagination. Because she is so artistic, she took to the idea of creative writing very passionately. Her ability to describe a scene, person or place, she compares to painting a picture, where she can describe every detail vividly in order to make the reader feel like they’re truly living in the story. Her works usually center around a powerhouse female protagonist (which reflect her own personality), who progresses through many wild and extreme obstacles, including falling in love. Ashley loves to write stories that end with a cliffhanger, that have the reader begging for more and questioning what happens next. Her most recent novel sets the stage for the fairy love saga of the century and includes vampires, witches, shapeshifters and werewolves who just love to get in the way of true love. Ashley has won awards for her design, art and writing.
Ashley doesn’t believe in down time whatsoever and actually loves having a full “To-Do” list. Ashley is a wife to her wonderful husband, Eric and a mother to a beautiful little girl, Dakota. She is also a Graphic Designer and a health and fitness coach. Her husband and daughter inspire her to be the best person she can be and encourage her to pursue any of her dreams (no matter how extravagant they may be).
