Amelia grew up in a world of half-truths. She knows she’s an Elder but has no idea what that means. Her father reminds her daily that she must maintain control but he refuses to explain why. Even worse, she’s betrothed to the prince of the Immortals and she doesn’t even know his name.
Finally breaking free to live a few normal years at a community college, the last thing Amelia expects is to find her best friend in a cheeky Southern girl and to fall for a self-assured human who sees her for who she is and not what she’ll be.
As she learns more about herself, Amelia realizes the line between love and duty is a thin one. As her power continues to increase exponentially and her questions are slowly answered, Amelia must make the ultimate choice. The question is, will her head or her heart win the battle?

AUTHOR BIO

Stormy Smith calls Iowa’s capital home now, but was raised in a tiny town in the Southeast corner of the state. She grew to love books honestly, having a mom that read voraciously and instilled that same love in her. She knew quickly that stories of fantasy were her favorite, and even as an adult gravitates toward paranormal stories in any form.

Writing a book had never been an aspiration, but suddenly the story was there and couldn’t be stopped. When she isn’t working on, or thinking about, her books, Stormy’s favorite places include bar patios, live music shows, her yoga mat or anywhere she can relax with her husband or girlfriends.

The Bound by Duty Soundtrack

Hi everyone! Stormy Smith here. My debut novel – Bound by Duty – released on July 24

and I’m here to give you some insider information on me and the book.

Music is a HUGE part of my life. I am addicted to Spotify and adore finding new artists.

I spend a lot of time getting to know local artists and live shows are among my favorite

places to be. When I wrote Bound by Duty I knew it would have a soundtrack. Every

significant moment in my life has a song associated with it and the book I spent a year

pouring myself into would be no different!

I’m a little bit of an odd duck in that I can’t actually write listening to music that has

words. So, I spend my writing hours listening to classical music that helps distract my

mind just enough to keep the creativity flowing without stopping the lovely voices in my

head from telling me their stories. But, once I’m in the car, cleaning, or doing anything

else, I’ve always got an ear out for songs. I find that the lyrics often inspire new plot

lines, emotions or authentic reactions in characters.

You can check out the full Spotify soundtrack for BBD here, but here are my top ten in

 

 

1. The One That Got Away – The Civil Wars

2. Haunted – A Taylor Swift cover by Jess Moskaluke and Alex G.

3. In My Veins – Andrew Belle, featuring Erin McCarley

4. Hurricane – MSMR

5. Clarity – A Zedd cover by Corey Gray

6. Boston – Augustana

7. I’mnotwaiting – Bonne Finken

8. Breathe Again – Sara Bareilles

9. Promising, Promises – Jon McLaughlin

10. No Light, No Light – Florence and the Machine

It was really important to me to not only cover the storyline with my choices, but also

the emotions of the characters. Music is really important to Amelia, my heroine, and she

The Undead: Playing for Keeps by Elsie Elmore 

Published by: Curiosity Quills Press

Publication date: September 3rd 2014

Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

Synopsis:

When an undead woman with serious de-comp issues stalks sixteen-year-old Lyla Grimm, her hope of rescuing her rock-bottom reputation takes a back seat. Especially once Lyla’s new talent of resurrecting the dead draws the attention of Eric, a Grim Reaper with a guitar and a chip on his shoulder.
While Lyla navigates the gossip-ridden halls, Eric works to gain her trust and discover why Death’s clients aren’t staying down. If she passes on her gift, his death-messenger destiny might be altered. But the closer he gets to Lyla, the less sure he is of his plan. The dead are way easier to deal with than the living.
Gossip explodes, the Grimm family implodes, and desperation sets in. Death wants the gift and a soul. Lyla and Eric face hard choices with hidden consequences. Sometimes life’s choices aren’t really choices at all.

The Undead: Playing for Keeps Excerpt - Chapter 2 : Eric

“Of all the places,” I mutter. Cornfields and pastures fill the passenger side window 

in a tortuous repeat. Mile after mile of nothingness. And inactivity. And boredom. 

“I’m in a small hellhole located in the middle of can’t-find-it-on-a-fucking-map. This 

is just perfect.”

 I pull over and my headlights frame the tall green sign that proclaims the city limits 

for Martin. A thatch of dead grass surrounds the base of the pole.

 “Bet that resembles the residents of this fine town,” I shout. No one’s ever around 

to hear me or respond.

 I roll down the window and the scent of grass and dirt rolls in. There’s no exhaust, 

no cigarette smoke. The purity of the air confuses my lungs.

 Just hours ago, I was in the beautiful and busy paradise of Miami, Florida, where 

anger, envy, and sin pollute every taken breath and every exposed mind. It’s one of 

my favorite places. There’s enough activity there to keep someone busy every hour 

of the day, which is why I want to return. Idle time has painful effects.

 Only one car passes while I’m parked on the shoulder, contemplating my purgatory 

that now goes by the name of Martin.

 The passenger handle clicks and the door opens. Deon lowers his head and peers 

in. “Heard you were coming.” He smiles and the dashboard lights give his teeth a red 

glow. “Welcome to Martin.”

 I shrug. “Yeah. I’m here.”

 “So why you?” he asks, his smile not fading.

 “Beats the hell out of me.” Exhaust mixes with the night air and enters through the 

open car door. I take a deep breath.

 “No, seriously, this is my territory. Why you?”

 I survey my new terrain. Moonlight reveals more nothingness. “I’m not fighting you 

for it. I was sent. I didn’t have a choice.”

 “No one really has a choice.” He slips his frail frame into the passenger seat and 

closes the door.

 “What are you doing?”

 “Going for a ride.” He taps the dash twice. “I’ll show you around.”

 Understanding the territory will help. I pull back onto the road and my headlights 

only compete with the moon’s glow until we get closer to civilization. If you can call 

this actual civilization.

 “You’re here as a punishment, aren’t you?”

 “Judging by the look of this place, I’d say yeah.”

 Deon laughs and adjusts the navy ball cap he wears low on his head. “Everyone 

knows about you.”

 “Really?” I want to take back the word, or rather, my tone. It sounded as if I was 

interested.

 “You’re too messy and over-the-top. You attract attention. And you’re 

undisciplined.”

 I huff. “You finished?

Interview with Elsie Elmore, author of The Undead: Playing for Keeps

What led you to write YA paranormal and corpses becoming reanimated?

Explaining my warped creative process is challenging because the stories I tend to 

create all begin with “What if?” That simple question can take me down a rabbit 

hole of possibilities and I never worry about whether an idea is plausible. In my 

mind, the boundary for reality is permeable.

The Undead started as a “what if” after a personal experience. The story then 

began to unfold in my mind, but it never ventured near The Walking Dead, which 

is a series I was addicted to once. I wanted the return to be less problematic and 

gory than the zombies in the apocalyptic stories.

Are the characters in The Undead based on real people?

Every character I create comes from bits and pieces of people that I’ve 

encountered, but no one person translates into a full character in one of my stories. 

At least not yet.

Does Eric play the guitar because you play the guitar?

No, Eric plays the guitar because he’s a gifted musician and because I think the 

guitar is one of the coolest instruments a guy can play. I took piano lessons for 

several years as a child, but I would not impress anyone with the skills that have 

remained after all those years.

Is The Undead a series?

I wrote The Undead as a stand alone, although the door was left slightly ajar at 

the end. While Lyla, Eric and Ben’s tale could go on, it will be up to the reader to 

determine what happens next.

What’s your favorite genre to read?

I like so many different types of fiction. I have specific favorite books and favorite 

authors that span romance, action, drama, suspense, and memoir (and for adult, 

NA, and YA audiences).

For the Love of Death by Tamara Rose Blodgett

(Death #7)

Publication date: September 5th 2014

Genres: Adult, Dystopia

Synopsis:

The year is 2049 and in the new dystopian order, the Randoms have risen to the top like cream. Earth faces dire consequences because of the Helix Complex and their illicit use of mass-sterilization. Many who could have children, were made into mules from the virulent Zondorae concoction of 2030.
Now middle-aged, Death’s children do their best to move forward in a world where technology and paranormal powers collide in a mix of tragedy and circumstance. Zombies have been raised for the slave trade by those Randoms in power.
Paxton Hart and Parker’s twin girls are grown and on the radar for those that understand how critical they are for the future. The tight-knit circle of friends continues to network for solutions to the depravity that has taken hold.
Can the original group right a tremendous wrong? Will the new generation of Randoms find a solution for propagation, or will their power base cannibalize those who choose harmony instead of greed?

Zombie Romance; Death-Style

Well, I do. And so do a bunch of other peeps, apparently. Zombie fiction isn't all post-apocalyptic, disease carrying, mindless brain eaters. (Some of my zombies do get distracted by a tidy meal of brains. 

As I write this, FOR the LOVE of DEATH is getting ready to blow up on Amazon for all the 

hordes of readers to descend and devour.

Is the Death Series about zombie love? Oh yes. But it's a bunch of other things too. It's dystopian. 

Dark fantasy ( a soft sort of horror, but horror nonetheless). Death is also suspenseful, witty and coming-of-age. My main demographic of readers is females ages 25-34. After that? It's post-60. Isn't that something? I never thought a teen male-POV would interest anyone except... you got it: a teen 

male-POV. Then Death got its teeth in the readers. Guys discovered it, middle-aged women (I'm one of those so no diss there, girls), teens and older people. Yes, I said elderly. They read and everything. 

(That's tongue in cheek, lest I get hate mail.)

What makes Death different? For starters, it's male POV. And there's just not much lit out there that is. There's even less from a teen boy's POV. I didn't know any better. I have four sons who complained endlessly about all the “drivel” of chicks who thought they could write like a guy thought. 

So this chick thought: why not? It's certainly harder to speak from a teen girl's POV as there aren't any of them galloping around the house. I went for it, and the rest is history.

I thought I'd “grow” the teens through high school and be done at book six. But they kept talking, and readers kept asking for Death (I love how that sounds). Now they're all grown up with some kids of their own. It's a futuristic setting so I've taken liberties with some of the characters as you'll see if you begin the Death odyssey. I know it's a little weird, but my fave character is the MC's grandpa, 

“Gramps.” You ever meet anyone that knows who they are to the marrow? And they're simply 

indifferent to change or compromise? Filter-less? Yes, that's Mac O'Brien. And I simply can't seem to “retire” him. I also adore the MC zombie, Clyde. He died in a post-depression America and has not let his principles slide. He and Mac get along great. 

I threw romance in Death #7, parallel earths, horror, action, comedic dialog, agony, drama and suspense. The pace is fierce (I guess I'm not terrific at slow pacing), and some resolution takes place, along with questions.

Does Deegan's zombie survive? Will Paxton save his Gram? Is Brad Thompson and his dad going  to corrupt another earth through Zombie slaving? It's a new earth with the same problems. Where there's power, there is also greed. I had a terrific time writing Death. So much so, I'm already devising a 

Death 8. Since Death 7 is a spin-off; a case of the “stales” shall not be had. 

Book one, Death Whispers, is currently in audio production and I have to say, it was in the top  ten surreal experiences of my life to listen to my own words. What I really got out of listening is  how mature DW is in some respects. It captures the changes teens experience on the chasm of near-

adulthood. Death began as a YA crossover series and is now firmly in the new adult/adult genre. Fans of dystopian, hard sci-fi, paranormal romance, fantasy and action with snappy dialog should dig death.

If you're looking for a unique narrative, jam-packed with action and fast pacing, Death just might be for you. Especially for if you have a crush on zombies....

AUTHOR BIO

In my other life--the one before I began writing for teens and younger readers--I was a teacher and administrator at California State University, San Jose. My field of Linguistics and Inter-cultural Communication has carried me to a lot of places in the world to explore different cultures and languages. I can say, “Where’s the toilet?” and “I’m lost!” in at least five languages and two dialects. Go ahead. Pat me on the back.

My idea of a perfect day is one or all of the following: starting a new novel, finishing writing a blockbuster novel, hiking on a misty morning trail in the Santa Cruz Mountains, saying Namaste after a great yoga practice, sipping a cappuccino topped at a bustling café, reading in front of a fire with snow outside, swimming in an ocean someplace.

I've just set out my perfect life. Day after day after day.

Quick This or That

Coffee or Tea?

Coffee is my mainstay drink in the morning. I seldom drink tea, but once in 

a while I love green tea or the kind that smells like cinnamon.

Cats or Dogs?

Cats. They help me write without slobbering on the keyboard.

Cake or Pie?

Pie as long as it's fresh fruit, preferably apple.

Summer or winter?

Summer because there are tomatoes.

Vampires or Shifters?

Shifters. Vampires have been done to death. Well, so have shifters, but 

these are the choices, right? :-)

Hamburgers or Hotdogs?

Hamburgers. I'm a big eater when I'm hungry. One hot dog doesn't cut it.

Last sport event you attended?

A college Lacrosse tournament. Fabulous. Our team won.

Last book you read?

I hate to say this, but it was mine. I had to read it before sending it out to 

readers! Now I feel very self-centered.

Parting Thoughts On Writing?

Yes. 

Oh, that’s not what you meant. Here’s a parting thought: Don’t let a bad 

review get you down. Here’s why. From the Musical Courier, 1887

“Brahams evidently lacks the breadth and peer of invention eminently 

necessary for the production of truly great symphonic works.”

Everyone sees, hears and thinks differently.

Book Blitz Come Back To Texas + Giveaway

Book & Author Details:

Come Back To Texas by K.K. Hendin 

(Twelve Beats In A Bar #1) 

Publication date: August 18th 2014 

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult

Synopsis:

Everyone thought we’d be the ones who made it through high school. The ones who’d get married and stay married forever. The example of how young love can work.
We thought so, too.
Too bad life had other plans.
It’s been three years since Hayley and Nate broke each other’s hearts. Three years, and a lot has changed. Hayley’s a freshman in Bushwick University, and the only things keeping her sane are stress baking, and her a cappella group, Twelve Beats in a Bar.
Nate’s a Marine, stationed in Afghanistan. The only thing that’s keeping him sane is the last picture he has of him and Hayley, and the hope that maybe when the hell of deployment is over, he can find her again and apologize.
One explosion will change everything.
When a bomb kills all of Nate’s unit, leaving him missing a leg and eyesight in one eye, he’s sent back home to Texas. Texas, where he loved Hayley more than he could possibly imagine ever loving anyone else.
With seemingly endless amounts of free time and needing something to distract himself, Nate starts making YouTube videos, imploring Hayley to come back to him, and come back to Texas.
Hayley’s life is wrapped around the Beats, making sure she doesn’t flunk out of biology class, and babysitting Ohio’s smallest monster, Brandon. She doesn’t want to admit it, but she misses Nate more than anything.
It’s too bad she doesn’t know just how much he misses her, too…

COME BACK TO TEXAS EXCERPT:

"(A flashback to the first time Hayley and Nate met)

He turned around, and his eyes connected to mine. “Hey!” he called. “You!”

My eyes widened. “Me?” I pointed to myself.

“Yeah.” He was far enough away that he was calling. “What’s your name?”

Why was he talking to me? Was this some kind of joke? I glanced nervously at Josh, trying to see if this was for real. I couldn’t tell.

“Hayley,” I said quietly- loud enough for him to hear if he was listening close enough, but quiet enough that I could deny I was talking to him if I needed to.

“Hayley!” he called back, grinning. “What’s your stance on ice cream? Positive or negative?”

“Why?”

“For science.”

“What kind of science?”

“Does it matter?”

“Well, if it’s for curing cancer or something, I’ll tell you the truth. If it’s for something else, I might not.”

“You would lie to science?”

“You can’t lie to science,” I said. “Science isn’t a person.”

“Yeah, it is,” Josh said. “Science is the skeleton in the lab.”"

Carnival Book Blitz

Carnival by K.B. Nelson
Publication date: July 7th 2014
Genres: New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
Charlie should be packing her bags for college, but the life ahead of her isn’t one she’s certain she wants. Maybe that’s what led her to sleep with a perfect stranger at the county fair. Finding out he was a carnie was like winning the bonus round of the world’s worst game.

Blue grew up in the carnival, never staying anywhere long enough to call home. He never thought of himself as the type to seduce a local, let alone fall in love with one, but his impulsiveness got the better of him this time. He should go where the carnival takes him, but for the first time he’s not sure if he wants to go.

When he makes the decision to stick around, Charlie eagerly follows him down the rabbit hole; into a world with no regard for consequences or regret. Most of all, he shows her that home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling they can create and share. For a price. Because the higher the roller coaster goes, the faster it all comes crashing down.

When I'm not writing you can find me doing one of two things; getting lost on highways or getting lost in the lives of fictional characters. If my heart had two feet, one foot would be in romance and the other solidly in geekdom. I hope you'll all follow me on my journey through this carnival they call life.I promise there will be a happy ending.
