Good News Day!

Welcome to this week's good news...





FREE READ

Sealed with a Kiss by Eleni Konstantine is being offered as a free read on Smashwords until March 15th.

Lise doesn’t believe in vampires. Or so she tells herself. Though, she constantly wears the garnet necklace her grandmother gave her, which wards off the creatures. Andreas, the man she’s attracted to, seems more than a little interested in it. Could there be an ulterior motive?
Go to Eleni's Taverna for the special code.


Dark Child: Episode One by Adina West is "Book of the Week" at Apple iBookstore Australia and is topping the free charts there.

Kat can run a marathon without breaking a sweat. Catch anything you throw at her. Differentiate blood types by smell alone. And she’s spent years hiding the fact. But secrets from the past have a way of slipping out when least expected ... and a simple blood test is enough to turn her quiet life in the shadow of the Appalachian Mountains upside down forever.
Kat's been craving raw meat. When she visits a psychic she's told her life is about to change forever. Kat isn't so sure change is a part of her plan, but when a fabulous offer to work for a research organization comes her way, she's tempted to say yes and make the move to New York. It just might be her chance to find out if there are others in the world like her...
Will her dream job bring answers to her questions or will it lead her into more trouble than she could ever imagine?




BOOK COVERS & RELEASE DATES

Kylie Scott has Heart's a Mess, a contemporary erotic novella, coming out with Ellora's Cave (no release date yet).

Thirty-seven year old bar owner, Alex Stuart, wakes up with a crushing hangover, an empty condom wrapper and a bra in his bed. There is no sign, however, of the woman to whom it belongs to. Freshly divorced from his cheating wife, his libido has been AWOL for over a year. He is beyond happy to find he can still get it up and determined to find the girl that ‘cured’ him.
Violet Reid, a curvy modern day pin-up girl with tats and all, is a woman on a mission to get her life in order. She is done with making bad choices. Or she was supposed to be. Sleeping with her hot new boss at an after work party, however, definitely counts as a huge mistake.



Dark Child: Episode Two by Adina West was release 1 March, 2013. It's currently in the top ten bestsellers on the iBookstore Australia charts.

A crawling unease stirred deep within her. She shifted a little further away from Char. Finally she spoke, her voice fracturing the tense silence. "Who are you, Char?"
Kat doesn’t want to question her luck too closely when she lands a fabulous Manhattan apartment only blocks from her new job, even if cab drivers do have a funny habit of driving right past her antiquated apartment building without seeing it.
But the quiet building hides a deadly secret, and when Kat meets Char from down the hall, she’s drawn into a hidden world where humans aren’t welcome, populated by beings as dangerous as they are beautiful. Soon Kat’s neck-deep in trouble and on the run, and discovering the truth about her own unique heritage might just make things worse …
