 Psychic SecretsPosted by Nancy Northcott May 31 2011, 4:20 am in Anna DeStefano, psychic fantasy, Psychic Realm, Secret Legacy posted by Nancy Today we’ll talk about her newest release, Secret Legacy. Welcome, Anna! Who is the heroine of Secret Legacy, and what’s her background? Sarah Temple and her identical psychic twin share a powerful, supernatural legacy that warring factions are fighting to control–a center of government scientists who want to harness their gifts to weaponize daydreams, and a brotherhood of psychic warriors who have sworn to protect the Psychic Realm and its secrets at all costs. Sarah’s barely escaped with her sanity the Center’s attempts (in Book 1, Dark Legacy) to highjack her sister’s gifts (by using Sarah’ comatose mind to program and control Maddie Temple’s dreams). Now the Dream Weaver program they thought they’d defeated is still going strong, only this time it’s Sarah’s sleeping mind the government is haunting–using her mysterious psychic connection with a lost child no one else believes exists. The only way for Sarah to protect the little girl and her legacy from being manipulated into a long-range, direct strike weapon is to trust her gifts and the warrior who’s already betrayed her once. What’s her biggest problem in this book? Sarah, like many of us, can’t see the promise of who she and her twin are destined to be, because the damage and mistakes and potential evil that she so far hasn’t been able to keep her legacy from becoming. She doesn’t trust her potential to be a warrior for good, capable of protecting not only those she loves, but other legacy families within the psychic realm, too, from suffering at the hands of those who only seek power and profit as they hunt the metaphysically gifted. At it’s core, Secret Legacy reflects the same journey of discovery and acceptance we all face, as we search for who we are and what we’re meant to become. It’s a celebration, when Sarah not only claims be destiny, but valiantly fights to make the same magical promise possible for generations to come. Your website refers to a psychic warrior who broke the heroine’s heart. How do they meet again, and what issues lie between them? Secret Legacy begins only a month after Dark Legacy‘s cliff hanger ending that left so many readers panting for more ;0) Dr. Richard Metting was initially one of the “villains” of Dark Legacy. One of the government scientists, we thought, who were weaponizing daydreams by hijacking the mysteries within Temple twins’ minds. Except Richard turned out to be the lead watcher for a brotherhood of psychic warriors whose mission is to shut down the Center’s Dream Weaver program at all costs–even if it means sacrificing Sarah and her twin’s sanity. Richard breaks from the Brotherhood’s mission, though, to protect the Temple Legacy, and in the process becomes deeply attached to Sarah and her fight for survival. We find him at the beginning of Secret Legacy, now within the protection of the Brotherhood’s bunker, battling to regain Sarah’s trust and to help her control her disintegrating gifts before he loses her for good.
Sure! The prologue and first chapter are up on my website: http://issuu.com/annawrites/docs/secret_legacy-excerpt?mode=a_p onclick= Here’s an author interview and book trailer for the Legacy Series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4OdHP-WPA4&feature=channel_video_title And a Blog Talk Radio interview that delves deeper into the dream theory and parapsychology behind my Psychic Realm: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/circle-of-seven/2011/05/19/readers-entertainment-radio That cliff hanger I mentioned above… At the very end of Dark Legacy, a secret child is discovered who holds the key to the heart and future (either good or evil) of the Temple Legacy. No one knew she existed. Secret Legacy begins as no one within the Brotherhood believes the child is real–except Sarah, who hears the little girl in her nightmares, crying for help. Sarah’s convinced the Center is experimenting on the innocent child the way they once did Sarah, and she’ll stop at nothing until she finds her–putting her family, her legacy and the Psychic Realm at even more risk than ever. Secret Legacy is a thrilling race in and out of nightmare and deadly psychic visions, to stop the Center and the magical child they’ve brainwashed from fulfilling the darker promise of the Temple Legacy. What’s next for you? I’m in love already with the next three books I’m creating for the Legacy Series. Working on that new proposal I a top priority. As is blogging weekly about the Dream Theory, parapsychology, and metaphysics I research to create my Psychic Realm. I’ve also submitted a new family drama proposal to Harlequin, so hopefully I’ll have something new on the way soon for my contemporary romance fans. And I’m travelling again, teaching writing craft where folks ask me to ;o) I’ll be with the Carolina Romance Writers in June, then at Romance Writers of America’s National Conference and ThrillerFest in July. I’m also weekly talking about How We Write and how Publishing Isn’t For Sissies on my blog. It’s a lovely life ;o) For more about Anna and her books, check out her website. Dark Legacy, Book 1 in the series, is a 2.99 cent download on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc, and starting June 6th Secret Legacy will be a .99 cent download. One commenter today, however, will receive a free electronic download of Secret Legacy. So tell us, if you could have any paranormal power, what would it be, and why? What’s your favorite story of past lovers reunited? What’s your favorite movie involving paranormal powers? GOING HOMEPosted by Jo Robertson May 30 2011, 4:01 am in Going Home, Jo Robertson, Memorial Day by Jo Robertson About ten years ago on Fathers Day our seven children picked out individual rose bushes and planted them in a row by the fence in our back yard. At the time my youngest son had distanced himself from the family so the spot for his bush remained empty, a sad reminder that one of the seven was missing. Recently that son returned, bought a lovely white rose bush with a blush of pink on the petals, dug a hole and planted the flowers near the other six. Thomas Wolfe said, “You can’t go home again,” but I’m Cat Schield Meddles with MillionairesPosted by Susan Sey May 29 2011, 4:02 am in Uncategorized hosted by Susan Sey Hey, everybody, say hello to my good friend Cat Schield! Some of you may recognize her from her Golden Heart win in Orlando last summer for A Case of Meddling, now titled Meddling With A Millionaire. She’s a chapter mate of mine up here in the Frozen Wilds Where Spring Dare Not Bloom (otherwise known as Minnesota) and I’m delighted to have her with us today to talk about her debut Harlequin Desire, Meddling With A Millionaire. Without any further ado, I give you Cat: Thanks so much to the Romance Bandits for inviting me to Prize Hunting in Dixie!Posted by Anna Campbell May 29 2011, 3:00 am in Anna Campbell, Bandita Booty, Demon Hunting in Dixie, Lexi George by Anna Campbell Thanks, everyone, for a fabulous day in the lair yesterday.

Free ReadsPosted by Suzanne Ferrell May 28 2011, 5:50 am in Free Reads, life changes, Suzanne Ferrell, THE SURRENDER OF LACY MORGAN by Suzanne We’ve had a new addition to our family. A brand new baby boy! He’s as cute as his mother and father, and as bald as his grandfather! (That’s him over there—>) Needless to say, I had to put blogging, writing and reading on hold for a bit. Since I have what my husband calls, “the ultimate Grandma job”. And he’s right. I’m lucky in that I have the ability to chose my daughters’ doctors, hospitals, nurses AND I get to be in the delivery room for the birth of everyone of my grandchildren. Now, before you think I Demon Hunting in the Lair!Posted by Anna Campbell May 27 2011, 4:02 am in debut, Demon Hunting in Dixie, Lexi George, paranormal romance, So I Married a Demon Slayer by Anna Campbell We love debut authors here in the lair and I’m delighted to introduce a very talented new author who I met for an uproarious lunch a couple of RWAs ago (she’s a friend of Louisa’s – should be recommendation enough, huh?). Lexi’s huge fun in person so I wasn’t remotely surprised when I heard she’d translated that funny, snarky humor into a three-book deal with Kensington Brava. You can find out more about Lexi at her website: www.lexigeorge.com Here’s the blurb for DEMON HUNTING IN DIXIE which is out this month: A warrior, a demon, and the Closing a CirclePosted by Nancy Northcott May 26 2011, 4:13 am in graduation, parents and children, rites of passage by Nancy On the surface, this looks like every other summer vacation. The boy finished school last week and is now upstairs noodling on his guitar, I’m on the computer writing this blog, and the dh is at school, most likely in a meeting. But it isn’t like every other summer vacation. Under that placid surface, a seismic shift has occurred. The boy graduated from high school. He “finished” it in the truest sense of the word. Many of you have seen your children take that walk across the stage, some of you more than once. You know what it’s The Most Comfortable Bed in the WorldPosted by Kate Carlisle May 25 2011, 4:01 am in bibliophile mysteries, Kate Carlisle, Murder Under Cover by Kate Carlisle Please don’t think I’m bragging when I tell you this. I’ve traveled a lot, and through my travels I have discovered that The Most Comfortable Bed in the World is at my house. In my bedroom. I don’t mean to rub it in or make you jealous. I’m simply stating proven, scientific fact. As you all know, I was on book tour recently, promoting MURDER UNDER COVER. I traveled to Maryland, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and North Carolina, and I had an amazing time. I even got some face-to-face with a couple of Banditas and Buddies. (*waving wildly at Many Genres, One CraftPosted by Guest May 24 2011, 3:58 am in Uncategorized By KJ Howe I had the pleasure of attending Seton Hill University while completing my Master’s in Popular Fiction, and, recently, a large group of graduates have contributed to a fabulous book about the craft of writing. MANY GENRES, ONE CRAFT is a compilation of craft articles from graduates of Seton Hill, and it was edited by the talented Heidi Ruby Miller and Mike Arnzen. I’m proud to be part of such an exciting project, and I thought I’d introduce a few of the romance contributors to our Romance Bandits crew. First, I’d like to introduce the wonderful Dana Marton To Virgin or not to VirginPosted by Donna MacMeans May 23 2011, 4:18 am in black cats, In a Heartbeat, Redeeming the Rogue, Virgins by Donna MacMeans I have a secret. I have to admit I’m a little bit nervous about my August release. You see in all my other books, the heroine has been a virgin. This isn’t a shocker as many, if not most, historicals utilize a virginal heroine. There’s a reason for this. Sex was a lot riskier in the nineteenth century (and earlier). It came with consequences beyond that of the heart. This was a time when property passed from father to son – and if that son wasn’t really his son – well that might prove problematic. While a
