Pour Decisions by Tobi Doyle

 Today, Wild Women Authors focus on Pour Decisions, a romantic mystery with paranormal overtones, written by Tobi Doyle, a current release out of Rowan Prose Publishing.

 About Pour Decisions: Things are going great for Wanda Atkins. She’s almost finished with her Master’s degree; she’s finally moved out on her own; and the cute deputy in their small coastal town wants to spend time with her. If only she wasn’t a murder suspect.

Deputy Jack Kelly isn’t concerned about the Atkins curse, or the fact that the whole town believes Wanda and her family are witches. It’s the bit about her motive, opportunity, and the evidence at the murder scene that’s most bothersome. He has faith she’ll find the real killer. 

It helps that she can talk to ghosts.

What others are saying about Pour Decisions: “. . . Fans of Charlaine Harris’s “Sookie Stackhouse” and “Midnight Texas” series, or Janet Evanovich’s “Stephanie Plum” series will enjoy “Pour Decisions” by Tobi Doyle.

When I Was Your Man by Jana Richards

 Wild Women Authors is pleased to continue our Books In A Series with When I Was Your Man, book 3 in the Twice in a Lifetime time-travel series, written by award winning Canadian author Jana Richards.

A bit about the Twice in a Lifetime series: After Gabriel Daniels’ car accident, he finds himself in a waiting room next door to Heaven. To earn his angel wings, which will allow him the the privilege of looking out for his loved ones back on Earth, Gabriel is tasked with giving three mortals their second chance at love. What he doesn’t count on is having to examine his own life during this process. Coming to terms with his mistakes, especially his mistakes in love, is the biggest test of his afterlife.

About When I Was Your Man: Apprentice angel Gabriel Daniels has traveled from his first assignment during World War II, to the swinging sixties-seventies. In his third and last assignment, he finds himself in modern day Toronto where he is confronted with the biggest mistake of his life—breaking off his relationship with Sloane, the woman who stood at his side through thick and thin.

With his mentor, senior angel Thomas, at his side, Gabriel takes a long, hard look at the hardest lessons life hands a mortal: working through guilt, resentment, acceptance, and letting go. At the painfully emotional ending, everything comes clear to him and those he loved.

Tiny House, Big Fake Fiance by Sadira Stone

               Come to Pinevale, Washington, for cozy vibes, heartwarming chosen family, and spicy second-chance romance where the houses are tiny, but the joy is so big!  

Today, Wild Women Authors, offers [as part of our on-going Books In A Series events], offers Tiny House, Big Fake Fiancé, the first in the Tiny House series, written by award winning Sadira Stone.

About the Book:

Zax Dupré gave Lilah Alves, a leather craftsman, the hottest night of her life—then he ran off with her tiny house. If she doesn’t get it back, she’ll be homeless. The hunky carpenter and she strike a deal: he’ll customize her tiny house if she pretends they’re engaged, smile pretty for his social media followers, and fool his prudish auntie long enough to finish the job by her impossible deadline. Easy peasy, right?

An Excerpt from Tiny House, Big Fat Fiancé:

The crunch of gravel spins us both toward a shiny black GMC Sierra heading our way. My stomach drops into my boots. There’s no mistaking the telltale logo on the truck’s door: Lilith’s Leathers in swirling, hot-pink script.

The last time I saw this rig, it held a custom wooden camper where I spent the most unforgettable night of my life.

 The door opens, and a shapely leg emerges, wearing a tall black boot. A delicate hand grasps the door frame, silver rings twinkling in the spring sunlight. With feline grace, the driver slides out and reaches for something on the passenger seat, a motion that pulls her leather skirt tight across the generous swell of her hips.

“Where’d you go, you slippery little shit?” Her gravelly voice raises goosebumps on my skin.

That voice is seared into my memory—raspy, low, rough as moonshine and just as intoxicating, purring filthy words that haunt my dreams.

“Lilith?” I croak.

She straightens and shakes out her riot of black curls—curls that once caressed my trembling belly as she slid down, down, down, a wicked grin on her scarlet lips.

Clutching a handful of papers, she slowly turns to face me—and Aggie, of course. My elderly aunt may be hard of hearing, but she has eyes like a hawk’s.

For Aggie’s sake, I restrain myself from tackling this goddess and slamming my body against her sinful curves.

Lilith’s gaze snaps to mine. She rolls the documents and tucks them into her pocket, then crosses her arms, framing plump, perfect breasts beneath her leather vest. “Well, well, well. If it isn’t the handsome carpenter.” Her plush lips tilt in a snarky smile, but she can’t hide the heat in her espresso-dark eyes—not from me, not after I’ve seen her come apart in my arms, over and over again.

She scans the clearing behind us. “I’m looking for Zachary Dupré.”

Inflating my chest, I swagger closer and lower my voice so Aggie won’t hear. “Forgot my name so soon? Don’t pretend you didn’t scream yourself hoarse repeating it.” Dipping my head, I bring my lips to her ear and whisper, “Don’t stop, Zax, don’t you dare stop.”

I can still feel the sting of her nails raking my back, her heels digging into my ass.

A flush tints her cheekbones. “Zax for Zachary. Of course. Small world, isn’t it?”

She remembers me, all right. Her pulse leaps visibly in her throat, and her pupils are blown wide.

I’m not sure I have the strength to say no.

“The truth, Lilah. Why did you run away?”

Come Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson

                 It appears you can go home again, but sometimes, you shouldn’t.

 With tropes of coming home, lies, woman on the run, and a secret heir, Wild Women Authors focus today is on Come Home to Death, a novel of romantic suspense, written by Marilyn Levinson and published by Rowan Prose Publishing.

About the Book: Erica Parker has barely been a bride nine months when two thugs show up at her apartment—while her husband is away on one of his infamous business trips—claiming he owes their boss a large gambling debt. Frightened for her life, and without other options, she heads to the childhood Long Island home she escaped three years ago. And swore never to return.

The aunts who raised her are as interfering and controlling as ever, but as soon as the family attorney advances the rest of her trust from Erica’s parents’ life insurance, she feels she will be able to return to normalcy. Except he refuses, and spouts nonsense about if she waits until her twenty-fifth birthday, she will inherit millions.

Problem is, someone doesn’t want her to live that long.

While her aunts harbor continue to harbor secrets, people start turning up dead, her husband is nowhere to be found, and someone’s trying to kill her.

Art of Deception by Maxine Douglas

 Today, Wild Women Authors is pleased to focus on Art of Deception, A Mystery on Lilac Lane Story, written by award winning author Maxine Douglas.

About the Book: In the picturesque town of Wisteria, Wisconsin, gallery owner Skye Johnson loves celebrating local art and the friends who create it. When photographer Lucas Cooper agrees to show his new collection honoring his late mentor, Skye can’t wait to display it—until one photo reveals something strange. Hidden in the image of the old Hendrickson barn, where Lucas’s mentor was found dead, is a detail that doesn’t belong.

Someone has added a painted clue—a silent cry for help from a witness too afraid to speak. Now, Skye and Lucas must unravel the mystery brushstroke by brushstroke before the truth—and the artist—are buried for good.

Transcendence by Katrina Kimball

When a demonic entity seeking revenge starts tormenting her family, a young woman must rediscover their shared past and embrace her own divine power in order to save not only those she loves, but the creature bent on her destruction.

 Today, Wild Women Authors focus is on debut author, Katrina Kimball, and Transcendence, a contemporary novel of horror, demons and angels, a current release out of Rowan Prose Publishing.

About Transcendence:

If you asked Alexis Ferelli what her biggest challenges are in life, she’d say it’s parenting her daughter, Luna, running her masseuse practice, and deftly avoiding conversations about marriage with her partner, Jack. At least, that was the case before she attended a séance. Now, the spirits are trying to contact her and there’s a demonic entity in her daughter’s closet.

Determined to find answers, she turns to the psychic from the séance and the spirit world for help. As she dabbles in the hereafter, she not only discovers another dimension filled with angelic guides, magic, and wonder, but also learns the shocking truth of her connection to the creature tormenting her daughter.

As the dark entity grows bolder and sets its sights on Jack as well as Luna, Alexis realizes that to save them all, she has to face the creature she once betrayed to bring it out of the darkness and back into the light.

Transcendence can be found at: https://books2read.com/u/38qz6V

What others are saying about today’s focus novel: “. . .Fans of Alix Harrow’s “Starling House” or Neil Gaiman’s “Coraline” will enjoy “Transcendence” by Katrina Kimball. . . ”

About our Focus Author: A horror enthusiast and lover of all things mysterious and unknowable, it was only a matter of time before author Katrina Kimball picked up her pen and mashed the paranormal, fantasy, and horror genres into one with her debut novel “Transcendence.”

When she isn’t working on a novel or binge-watching shows about Bigfoot, ghosts, or aliens, she’s probably thinking about any one of those three things. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her two children and her adorable Boston Terrier, Beaux.

  

The Urbex Trip by E. M. Lund

 

"The Urbex Trip has everything I love in a story—travel, urban exploration, uneasy group dynamics, slow-burning mystery, and a killer ending. E.M. Lund’s debut novel is tense, atmospheric, original, and wonderfully terrifying. Highly recommended for fans of suspense and horror.”

~~Jeremy Bates, author of Suicide Forest

Today, Wild Women Authors focus is on a THE URBEX TRIP, a novel of horror and suspense, written by E.M. Lund, and recently released by Rowan Prose Publishing

About the Book: Eloise Tiller didn’t murder her cheating boyfriend. Too bad nobody believes her. When no charges are brought against her, all she wants is to escape the whispers and start over, so she moves six thousand miles away to teach English in Japan. The only problem? The violent intrusive thoughts she’s been having—knives, blood, betrayal—have come with her.

When she’s invited to the tropical island of Okinawa for an eight-person urban exploration, Eloise agrees to the “urbex trip” in the hopes of getting to know her crush better. Their destination is an old resort atop remote cliff that was abandoned in the mid-seventies under shadowy circumstances.

Soon, the bad thoughts take over. After a violent storm leaves the group stranded in the resort, they find Eloise’s crush unconscious and brutally injured. And when he wakes, he implies it was Eloise who attacked him. As the others seem to turn against her, Eloise begins to have strange visions of a corpse-like young woman appearing throughout the resort. Her only ally is an offbeat backpacker who doesn’t seem to care what anyone else thinks.

And, as it happens, he’s also seen dead people in the resort.

More members go missing one by one, and Eloise’s only hope of getting out alive is to figure out what’s real, and who to trust—her alleged friends, the mysterious stranger she’s oddly drawn to, or her own broken mind.
