Release Blitz – Saints and Sinners by Nikki Landis

Title: Sinners & Saints

Series:  Ravage Riders MC

Author: Nikki Landis

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: August 26, 2022

I’d do anything for my club.

The Ravage Riders are my family. They welcomed me in, gave me a safe place to crash away from the horrors and abuse I endured, and my best friend Edge is as close to me as a brother. Nothin’ ever came between us until Rae. We both fell hard. She chose him. I was left standing alone.

I swore I wouldn’t love again. I told myself no other woman could ever be as perfect as Rae. And then, a social worker with good intentions and a perfect smile showed up at the door. Her curvy figure snagged my attention, and then her sultry voice. Cara charmed me from the first word she spoke.

Girls like her don’t fall for guys like me. She’s practically a saint. Cara takes care of kids and the elderly and donates time to a homeless shelter. I swear there’s a bright gold halo over her head. I’m a born sinner. A biker, an outlaw. I ride a Harley and don’t care about obeying the law. The thoughts in my head are downright wicked, and with every fantasy that pops in there, I want to act them out with her.

Deadly secrets emerge along with lies, deceit, and a ruthless ex plotting against the Riders. When Cara’s life is threatened, my protective instincts kick in. She’s mine. No one is tearing us apart. This sinner will unleash hell to protect his saint. And I won’t stop until she’s back in my arms where she belongs.

*** Note: This book can be read as a standalone, but for best enjoyment should be read after Sins of the Father. It includes steamy scenes, biker slang, cursing, violence, dark content, a paranormal twist, and, of course, an HEA. If you like alpha males who take charge, this book is for you.

Nikki Landis is the USA Today & International Bestselling, Multi-Award-Winning Author of over 50 romance novels in the MC, reverse harem, paranormal, dystopian, and science fiction genres. Her books feature deadly reapers, dark alpha heroes, protective shifters, and seductive vampires along with the feisty, independent women they love.

AuThursday – Sara Mosier

Please welcome, Sara Mosier to the Clog Blog! Sara, can you tell us a little about yourself and your background?

I’m born and raised in Nebraska. I went to school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and got my bachelors in English. I’ve been writing since I was 15 and actually finished a novel at the time (it needed a TON of revising obviously) and since college, I’ve become a full-time poet. When I’m not writing poetry I’m an avid lover of queer fiction. I’ve got several short stories in anthologies and working on my first novel to come out in the Fall! I love animals, Autumn, happy-ending/angsty books, and I was born on Halloween so that all ties in together doesn’t it? lol.

How do you make time to write?

I literally MAKE time to write. I take at least an hour out of every day no matter what.

Do you believe in writer’s block?

Absolutely, but I think a block is usually from stress, stagnation, grieving, etc. There are so many factors besides ‘I can’t think of anything.

Tell us a bit about the genre you write and why you love it.

I absolutely LOVE writing LGBTQ-themed fiction, namely romance. It’s just my passion and has been for quite a few years now. Also, being a queer person it gives me an outlet.

How are you publishing your recent book and why?

I’m publishing via Kindle Self-Publish.

Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert?  How does this affect your work?

I’m a good fake extrovert haha so with that said I’m definitely an introvert. I don’t think it really affects my work at all.

What is your favorite motivational phrase?

You can’t edit a blank page. It used to be ‘write drunk, edit sober’ but I’m a sober person now and that’s a no, no, lol.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Never think ‘this has already been done, no, anything you’ve written is brand new and from YOUR perspective. No one can tell a story like YOU can.

Where can readers find you on the World Wide Web?

Here is my link to everything, Me: https://linktr.ee/saramosier.

Do you have an excerpt you’d like to share with us?

This is from Lithium my paranormal romance novel I’m going to release hopefully this September:

As he turned to the door a dark mass blocked his path and he was knocked backward, how he held onto the cat he wasn’t sure, but Byron was screeching loudly and writhing in his grasp. He fell back on his ass with a grunt. The room filled with a loud, guttural moan, a growl that ate up every sound present. The air vibrated with it. His ears felt clogged with so much sound he collapsed.

Sara also has a Kindle Vella story available now – Spectral Ties.

AuThursday – Katie Baldwin

Please welcome author Katie Baldwin to The Clog Blog!  Katie, can you tell us a little about yourself and your background?

I’m a full-time researcher for advancement at The University of Virginia. I lived all over the world as a child. My dad (now retired) was in the foreign service. We lived in Brazil, Ecuador, The Philippines, and The Dominican Republic. Although I’m rusty, I can speak Spanish and understand Portuguese pretty well.

How do you make time to write?

I learned from another author to AT LEAST write 500 words a day. I keep to that rule. Some days it’s very hard and then other days I exceed it by many many words. But the habit of writing every day is essential to my writing.

Do you believe in writer’s block?

Yes. I do write despite a block. And I find that if I skip the scene that is causing the writer’s block I can move forward. Often I learn that it’s my gut instinct saying “this scene will not work.” And I’m able to change what I need later on to make the storyline work out for me.

Tell us a bit about the genre you write and why you love it.

I write contemporary – Rockstar Romances and Paranormal romances.

How are you publishing your recent book and why?

Indie. I did work with a small press, but my need for control forced me to take over everything 🙂

Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert?  How does this affect your work?

Introvert. I think it’s easier to be a writer and an introvert. Because the need to spend time with other people would take away writing time.

What is your favorite motivational phrase?

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” ~Louis L’ Amour

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Read and then write what you love.

AuThursday – David Bridger

Please welcome my friend David Bridger to The Clog Blog!  David, tell us a little about yourself and your background.

Twenty years in the Royal Navy until I got hurt and then caught a virus in hospital that left me housebound/bedbound with lifelong chronic illness. Cue: my second career as a novelist. Twelve written to date, nine of them still in print, with three more on the way in this next year or two plus my first non-fiction book.

How do you make time to write?

I have all the time in the world (Thanks, Louis) but very limited energy, so managing that to allow my writing is a job in itself.

Do you believe in writer’s block?

For me, thankfully, it hasn’t happened.

Tell us a bit about the genre you write and why you love it.

Science fiction and fantasy of a literary style.

How are you publishing your recent book and why? 

Over the years, I’ve done traditional and then self-publishing. Enjoyed the creative freedom of the latter, but eventually had to admit that all the extra work was damaging my health. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to his small independent publisher, who turned out to be a treasure. She and I get on, personally and professionally. She asks no more of me than that I write my books then edit them with her, which is the perfect usage of my available energy. All my available books are now with her house, and I hope that all my future ones will be too.

Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert?  How does this affect your work?

I’m a contemplative. Extrovert in my younger days, growing less so as I age. This might perhaps affect my writing, although I’m probably not the best person to judge that.

What is your favorite motivational phrase?

I trust my intuition.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Keep going.

Do you have an excerpt you’d like to share with us?

From my most recently released novel, Wild Times:

Magic is a marriage of hope and rebellion.

It’s everywhere in the world. Always has been. But in most of the world, it’s unknown. People stopped using it, believing in it even, thousands of years ago, and hundreds of years ago, and tens of years ago. It seems that each culture and each generation rejects magic a bit more than the one before. Some cultures more or less than others, but the general trend is to ignore magic and eventually to forget it. In every culture, though, in every generation, there are people who don’t ignore it. Some of them stick around in the normal world, and they are often persecuted because of what they know, what they practise.

But many don’t stick around. They go into the Wild.

AuThursday – Cynthia Terelst

Welcome Cynthia Terelst to The Clog Blog!  Cynthia, Can you tell us a little about yourself and your background?

I work full-time as a Document Controls Manager. I loved reading as a child and began writing in earnest when I was a teenager. I wrote my first novel when I was sixteen. It is still unpublished but I do work on it every now and then.

How do you make time to write?

I am very structured. My day job takes a lot out of me, both mentally and time-wise. I write after work and on weekends. I am fortunate that I don’t have any children at home. Writing is me time. I try to do it every day.

Do you believe in writer’s block?

Yes. I am sure that a lot of authors feel stuck at times. When I do, I try to just keep writing. Even if it’s just a few words. It helps me think about what is coming.

Tell us a bit about the genre you write and why you love it.

I write contemporary romance. I have always enjoyed reading romance, even as a teenager. Back then the books I read were more sweet, nothing more than a kiss. I love romance because it gives you feel-good vibes. Love is what makes the world go around.

How are you publishing your recent book and why? 

All of my books are indie published. The traditional route did not meet the speed at which I wanted to publish. Indie is a big investment in time and money but I feel that it is worth it. I don’t skimp on anything – covers, editing, proofreading – because I want to give my readers the best possible book.

Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert?  How does this affect your work?

I’m a bit of both. I am a shy person unless I am confident in a situation. I don’t think it affects my writing.

Sometimes being quiet allows you to read situations. But when you are an extrovert you can be in the middle of those situations.

What is your favorite motivational phrase?

Today’s is –

You are your only limit

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Practice, practice, practice. Learn, learn, learn. Get feedback on your writing. It will help you become a better writer.

Do you have an excerpt you’d like to share with us?

The four of us were ready to leave camp. Rosanna and Mak each had a towel and book ready to hit the beach to read. I was disappointed Mak wasn’t joining us. As we walked past them, I paused. I leant in to give her a kiss. My lips embraced hers, once, twice, tasting as much as I dared. She tasted good, like bacon and the sweet taste of Makayla.

I wanted her to know that although I was leaving there was a promise of my return and more kissing to come. Could all that be conveyed in one kiss?

“Enjoy your book,” I said as her eyes met mine.

“Thanks.” She gave me a small smile. Her complete attention was on me, like no one else existed. I wanted another kiss but that would be overkill. I walked away. I don’t know what possessed me to kiss her. Sure, I’d kissed plenty of women before. But nothing like that. Nothing meaningful.

The people making the footsteps behind me were silent. I knew each of them would have something to say but not one of them uttered a word. Not until we hopped into the four-wheel drive.

“What was that?” Manny asked from the front seat.

“What was what?”

“Don’t be difficult. That kiss.”

Nicki who sat next to me turned her face to mine, as did Harrison beside her.

“It was a kiss. No big deal.”

“Since when do you and Mak kiss?” Nicki stared at me like she was trying to decipher unexpected results from an experiment.

“Since we decided it was a fun thing to do.”

“In all the years I’ve known you, I have never seen you kiss someone like that,” Harrison said.

“Time to try something new.”

Nicki sat back and stared straight ahead. She clutched her hands in her lap. Then she looked at me again. “I hope you’re not playing her. Mak spent ten years with the wrong person. I don’t want to see her hurt because you think she’s a good experiment, or just something frivolous and fun.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“What did you mean then?”

“Mak’s different to anyone I’ve ever met.”

“We’re all different to anyone you’ve ever met.” Jeez she was a hard task master. I thought she was all for this with the way she and Rosanna acted. Maybe they were all for it until there was risk of Makayla getting hurt. A kiss wasn’t a promise of forever or even ten years. We weren’t putting our hearts out there, just our lips. Of course, it was just our lips…

I needed to show Nicki what I meant about Makayla being different.

“She can be so distant one moment, stubborn to a fault. And then she loses control. Something comes out and I see a glimpse of the person hiding beneath.” Were these words actually coming out of me? I sounded love struck…but I was nothing of the sort.

Cover Reveal – Captivated by You by Tracie Delaney

Title: Captivated by You

Series: The Kingcaid Billionaires Book 1

Author: Tracie Delaney

Genre: Billionaire Romance

Release Date: September 1, 2022

Cover Designer: CT Cover Creations

Photographer: CJC Photography

Model: Eric Taylor Guilmette

Girl walks into a bar, hooks up with the gorgeous guy in the designer suit, and has the hottest sex of her life.

Sounds like a wet dream, right?

Wrong.

When I wake up the next morning in a stunning penthouse overlooking the Seattle waterfront to a note saying “have a safe flight back to Chicago,” his message is loud and clear: One and done.

Famous last words.

Guess who’s waiting to greet me on the first day at my new job? Turns out the mega-rich Asher Kingcaid is far from one and done. But surrendering to his charms is a bad idea. When you’ve been burned once, it makes sense to stay away from the fire.

Except Asher is determined to drag me into the flames.

Tracie Delaney is a Kindle Unlimited All Star author of more than twenty contemporary romance novels which she writes from her office in the freezing cold North West of England. The office used to be a garage, but she needed somewhere quiet to write and so she stole it from her poor, long-suffering husband who is still in mourning that he’s been driven out to the shed!

An avid reader for as long as she can remember, Tracie was also a bit of a tomboy back in the day and used to climb trees with her trusty Enid Blyton’s and read for hours, returning home when it was almost dark with a numb bottom and more than a few splinters!

Tracie’s books have a common theme of strong women who aren’t afraid to go after what they want and alpha males who put up a great fight (which they ultimately lose!)

At night she likes to curl up on the sofa with her two Westies, Murphy & Cooper, and binge-watch shows on Netflix. There may be wine involved.
