Servants of Fate Cover Reveals

Servants ofFate

As servants of Fate, Father Time’s sons must sacrifice a mortal’s lifetime on behalf of humanity before each year ends. It’s simpler if they don’t get involved, as their immortality is a barrier to relationships and to understanding the emotions of those whose lives end in a blink, especially if these time holders have a hand in it. Servants of Fate pass in and out of the lives of those around them, never interacting, until a different type of fate steps in. They can stop time, but love will leave them powerless.

I’m proud to participate in the cover reveal for Wendy Sparrow’s Servants of Fate series. Check out these awesome covers–each designed by Amanda C. Davis–and then click on the image to pre-order your copy of each book. The prices will go up on release day so pre-order and save 🙂

StealingTimeCover-500x750

Father Time’s son, Zeit Geist, must sacrifice a mortal’s lifetime to the Fates each New Year’s Eve. Last year—inexplicably, really—he made an 11:59 substitution. The Fates are pissed and they’re after his mortal Hannah. With the year ending, he ought to figure out why he’d saved her—and why he keeps doing it.

Following an unlucky year, Hannah Lyons needs a week’s holiday in a lodge to unwind. What she gets is near-death experiences and a sexy immortal who can’t avoid kissing her, but might have to kill her. After all, even Zeit can’t hold back time indefinitely.


TakingTime500x750

Tempus fugit. Time flies…unless you’re Tempus Halt, Father Time’s son. Day in and day out are the same, except for New Year’s Eve when he steals the life of a mortal on behalf of the Fates. This year marks his first failure to stay the monotonous course. A mortal’s kiss and her insistence on taking the place of his year’s sacrifice stalled out everything. Now, Tempus has to keep her alive for a year so his sacrifice isn’t wasted, but that’s the only reason—definitely.

One of these crazy grim reapers stole Lacey Carpenter’s estranged father’s life two years ago. She’ll give her own life rather than letting it happen again. It backfires when Tempus doesn’t actually kill her, and they have to spend the year together. She’s falling for an immortal who stops time, not just to save her life, but also to ruin her dates and steal her books. This can never work and fate is just not on her side—in fact, they’d really like her dead before Tempus falls for her in return.


KeepingTime500x750

When Ruin’s mortal sacrifice to the Fates on New Year’s Eve is already dying, it should be the easiest life he has to take, but not this year. The dying man knows Ruin is there to kill him, but he asks Father Time’s son to look after his twin sister. Ruin can’t stay away from the sweet and sensual Phoebe. His previous interactions with women changed the definition of his name, Ruin, so he can’t fall for her, especially when the lovely mortal doesn’t know he killed her brother.

Phoebe’s brother promised to send her a guardian angel, but Ruin seems too devilish to be holy. He only wants to be friends and keep watch over her, but she can’t resist him. Loving Ruin is a sin tempting her heart. How wrong is it to cause an angel’s fall? Ruin and Phoebe’s time is running out as another New Year’s Eve sacrifice approaches, and Ruin might lose everything for keeping his true hand in fate secret.

 

About Wendy Sparrow:

WendySparrow-08Wendy’s first forays into fiction earned her time-outs, punishment, and “how many times have I told you the Boy Who Cried Wolf story?” But, she persevered. She’s stubborn like that. Now, all her stories have a happily ever after and the lies are sexier and more elaborate. Sometimes, they even contain wolves. (Ha, mom! So there!) She’s active in OCD and autism communities and writes on her blog to support awareness in both. If she’s not writing or wrangling kids, she’s on Twitter, @WendySparrow, where she’ll chat with anyone about anything.

Suckers

wrathbone-coverWhen my friend Brian Rosenberger asked me if I’d like to co-write a Lovecraftian, gonzo story with erotic elements I was intrigued. I said yes, but only after explaining that not only was I not really a fan of Lovecraft, I also wasn’t knowledgeable enough about his work to nail that aspect of any story we came up with. He agreed to take care of that part and we were off to the races.

Brian sent a few paragraphs of potential story starters to me and the character I liked most out of all of them was Sushi. A dancer at the Thrills and Gills gentleman’s club. And so we built this twisted little tale around her.

Make no mistake, Suckers, is not a romance and though it has sex in it, it’s not erotic either.

This is a twisted horror story with sexual content that may be disturbing to some (most!) readers. I think the cover and title of the anthology make that pretty clear but I want to make it extra, extra clear. Don’t read this if you’re looking for something sexy or romantic. But, if you like fucked-up horror this might be a story for you.

Stiff Things came out this week and is available now at Amazon.

Disclaimer: I’ve only read Brian and my story, I have no idea how disturbing the other stories in this collection are but judging by the cover, title and description I would say ‘very’.

Photo Prompt?

Paranormal CircusI find myself in a bit of an unusual position… My erotica under glass theme for this year, Paranormal Circus, has gone from being a total stumper to taking on a life of its own. I think it’s going to be a huge project — so big I expect it will be my under glass theme for this year and next year. It’s going to be several short stories and novellas (and possibly even a novel) which all share the same cast, setting and overlapping timelines. It’s kind of a behemoth LOL

I’m just finishing up fleshing out the cast of characters, figuring out some romantic pairings/groupings and getting a handle on some of the plots. I think I’ll be ready to begin actually writing stories as early as next week, which is exciting. I’d actually meant to be writing last month but that was before I realised how big and involved this project was going to be LOL

On a seemingly unrelated note? I have a couple extra stock art credits at Fotolia this month. If you’d like to shoot me a photo prompt to use in one of the Paranormal Circus stories this is a fantastic time to do that.

Just take a look at Fotolia and send me the complete URL of the photo you’d like me to use to help inspire a story or character. You can send that as a comment to this post, via social media or even email.

If I use your prompt in a story I will send you a copy of the story when it’s released as a book 🙂

Cover Reveal: Virtue of Death

Randi Perrin has a brand new book with a brand new pretty cover she revealed recently. I’m a little bit late to the party but check this out — so much blue (which I love) and the hint of a dragonfly-like angel wing intrigues the hell out of me 🙂

Virtue of Death by Randi Perrin

At eighteen, Sera Moore chose to go to culinary school while a higher power selected her to become an angel, specifically, an angel of death.

Now, twelve years later, Sera’s a successful baker during the day and performs her angelic duties at night. The only thing missing in her life is a man, but the last thing she wants is to fall head over wings in love. It seems her relationships are unable to survive once she reveals her nighttime activities, so it’s easier to not even bother.

But when a tenacious food critic won’t take a hint, can Sera lower her wings long enough to risk her heart one more time?

Add it to your Goodreads shelves or check out the book trailer — or both. I vote for both! 🙂
