Fractured Promises by Aleisha Maree *Cover Reveal + Blurb + Interview*




Hello awesome person, today we are featuring an adult paranormal erotica with a guest post including a cover reveal, blurb, and interview provided by the author.


Fractured Promises
by


'*~-.(_COVER REVEAL_).-~*'



Blurb

I am Knox The Assassin Ambrose. I loved an angel, yet couldn't keep her. These hands of mine, they make people bleed. They rain down pain upon sweet pain. Break a man’s bones with just one swift southpaw to the jaw. I'm an Assassin of men's' bodies and women’s hearts. I don’t do nice. I'm Raw, Rough and Unwavering in my quest to be the best.


I feed on my enemy’s hate, turning it into power and strength. I know how to fight with my fists but I also know how to destroy you without a single touch. I **** clawed my way to the top and that is where I'll stay.

No need to seek the warmth of a woman’s arms as I had them all falling at my feet, then like a south paw to the jaw she was there. Stuck in my minds eyes, haunting my dreams and etching in under my skin. The more this new beauty holds my attention, the more I lose of my angel, the one who first saved me. To top it off, she has her eyes, so every time I look at her, I'm reminded of what I've lost. She's taking over my senses and turning my brutal world upside down.
Gone is the Knox my angel loved, instead I’m fighting harder than ever before.


Maybe just maybe I can find that love my soul craves. Miss Blue-James; can she accept the monster I've become? She has her own deep, dark secrets and evil is chasing her tail, seeking to bring her down.

But the evil hell bent on destroying her, hasn't met me yet. I won't fail her the way I failed my angel. Tick Tock goes the clock.






Author Interview
      
1. When did you first realise you wanted to be a writer?

I have read and got lost in books since a very young child. I have always said to myself I’ll write like this one day. I’ll be the retreat for people like me who seek solace in books. Even if it is a bit twisted.  I became a  mum at a young age so that has always been first and foremost in my life but now the voices  are too loud and want out,so i’m grabbing it and running with the crazy

2. What is the first book that ever made you cry?

      Danielle Steel - His Bright Light read it! It is amazing.

3. How long does it take you to write a book?

I’m a debut author with my first book released on june 1st. I started to write Broken In between working on the Dairy Farm and raising my kids while we were living in the most isolated part or the south Island New Zealand. So it took a while started in October 2016 and finished in March. Split Broken into two books with Fractured Promises due in August 2017

4. Do you have any bizarre writing quirks?

I’m just bizarre in general, but i click my toes together the whole time that i am wrighting.

5. Where do you get your book ideas?

Life, past experiences lol the voices in my head are totally on a loop that just go round and round.  Listening to music and when i’m asleep i dream of such amazing stuff and incorporate it into my books.

6. What do you do when you are not writing?

I’m a mum of six and a wife to one so i spend quality time with the family baking muffins and shit. Earning brownie points so i can sit in front of the computer for another 24hrs.

7. What does your family think of your writing?

They think i spend way too much time in front of the computer and don’t understand how the books that i write can come from someone like me...just a dairy farmers wife.

8. Do you hear much from your readers? What kinds of things do they say?

No not really.  I would love to hear more from them.

9. What do you think makes a good story?

My husbands says the title and the bigger the boobies the better on the cover (sorry he just wanted to feel involved in my interview lol), but on a serious note i feel passion, and an awesome twisted plot that takes you by surprise makes for an fabulously alluring story.

10. Does writing energise or exhaust you?

Both, it energises my soul and exhaust my brain.  But i wouldn't have it any other way.  (the voices like it like that)

11. What are common traps that new authors fall into?

People pleasing, feeling they have to change to fit into an already established writing world.
All new writers JUST BE YOU don’t fall into the trap that society wants.  Me i’m just batshit crazy all day every day.  Take me like a grain of salt and put me in ya coffee.

12. Have you ever got READERS Block?

Yes all the time mostly when i go against the voices in my head lol when they want to do something and i dont think its a good idea as i don’t think y’all ready for half the shit they want to say.  They get stubborn and shut up shop. Radio silence all day long.

13. If you could tell your younger writer self anything, what would it be?

To not have been as scared to let the world know what goes on inside my brain. Keep writing no matter how crazy shit gets don’t ever stop writing. If you write a sentence a day, pretty soon you will have a whole book.

14. What was the best money you ever spent as an author?

Priceless :) i could not put a price on the knowledge or experience i have gained through the indie community.  The love and support alone is worth a million dollars (but my covers are pretty badass and they are done by Amanda Walker thanks Girl shout outs to you!)

15. What does literary success look like for you?

People understanding my words and my thought process.  Who i am is really hard to portray having people be able to fall into the loop of my words and actually get it and not be afraid is my idea of success.

16. Tell us about your latest book.

It takes broken promises to a whole new level! It only gets better from from here.  Hold onto your panties girls shits about to rough!

17. Do you sometimes find yourself Googling yourself?

What??? Noo i get my neighbour to lol (she is tots me mate we drink coffee and talk bullshit real good)

18. Describe how you felt when you published your first book.

Crazy ecstatic, shaking in me boots, overwhelmingly worried that the world wouldn’t get me but oh so astonishingly proud to show my kiddies DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!

19. What’s coming next?

From my badass self you're gonna get a 6 book series called Reapers Reign.  Then we will be hitting close to my soul with 2 real life stories. 1 will be called Letters to My Mummy.  The 2nd will be called Dear Dolly.  They both are me raw emotional and stripped bear.

20. Do you have a favourite book?

I have sooo many favourite books to name them would take ooodles of years, but if i had to say my favourite it would have to be, The book my mummy made me when i was younger she aint no published author but she made a book especially for me all about me xoxo

New Release Today! Dambuster by Susan Ottaway

Today, July 6, 2017 a new version is being released of: 


The Life of Guy Gibson VC

by Susan Ottaway




FEW MEN HAVE A BETTER CLAIM TO BE CALLED A LEGEND IN THEIR OWN LIFETIME THAN GUY GIBSON.


Guy Gibson (Aug. 12 1918 - Sept. 19, 1944)(aged 26) Image from Wikipedia


Leader of the famous Dambuster Raid of May 1943, which became part of the popular folklore of the Second World War after the film in which Richard Todd took the part of the hero, Gibson himself was tragically in an air crash in 1944.

Born in India in 1918 and brought up in England, Guy Gibson joined the RAF in November 1936. Thereafter his career can be seen as a battle between, on the one hand, his uncertain temperament and less than ideal private life, and, on the other, his undoubted skills as an airman and as a leader of men.

The war was to bring him adventure and, later, fame. He took part in the first aerial attack of the war, on the Kiel Canal; he served in Fighter Command and then, in 1943, came the famous raid on the Mohne and Eder dams for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross.

By now a hero of international fame, he was sent on a Public Relations tour of North America, but he was above all a flyer and, refusing to remain grounded, he died an airman’s death.

This new edition, which draws on conversations with members of Gibson’s family and on notes made by his widow, expands upon his early life in a severely dysfunctional family, his unhappy marriage and the possible reason for his untimely death in September 1944.

 Air Vice Marshal Ralph Cochrane, Wing Commander Guy Gibson, King George VI and Group Captain John Whitworth discuss the Dambuster Raid during the King's visit to RAF Scampton on 27 May 1943. Image from Wikipedia

The Blackwood brothers from New Orleans are about to find out. Youngest brother Will dreams of escaping his mundane life as an apprentice contractor. Caleb is a bartender whose charm and good looks see him through life. Val, the eldest, is a high-powered attorney who hides the fact that he can perform parlor tricks with his mind.

The brothers’ lives are changed forever when they receive a belated inheritance from their father: a staff with a mysterious stone on top, a pair of rogue’s bracers, and a sword that Will can barely lift. Searching for an explanation, it is not until a strange key whisks the brothers across time and space, into a terrifying version of New Orleans ruled by wizards, that the brothers accept the truth and undergo a perilous journey home. With the help of an alluring but deadly adventuress, they must break into the keep of a sorcerer known for his love of diabolical games, find a trio of enchanted talismans, and somehow defeat an evil wizard who can raise legions of the undead to do his bidding.

It seems the brothers have found their adventure. But will they live to tell the tale?

Sci-Fi Thriller:


What if, as a child, you could move the world with your mind? Think of the possibilities. But what if you couldn’t control it, and buildings toppled in your sleep? Think of the consequences.

Ethan and Tilly Wolfe are special. It’s a cruel, devastating kind of special that causes death and destruction in equal measure. Nobody is safe. Not even those who love them.

Ethan is the older sibling, his telekinetic gift powerful but controllable. But Tilly is young, emotionally fragile and unable to stop the physical and mental damage she unleashes on other people with barely a thought.

And all it takes is a thought.

Pursued by the military, shunned by the authorities and running for their lives, this is the story of a medical experiment gone hideously wrong, and the lives of the two children trying to put it right.

Apart from the usual creaks, groans and moans of the motel, he soon finds himself face to face with an entity. An urban legend that is lurking in the woods long before the motel found its existing foundations.

The Motel’s dark and haunting history quickly becomes tangled with Alfred’s life as he frantically searches for answers. Barry, the caretaker is hiding something. But what is it? Is there someone else living in the motel besides him? Or is caretaker not what he seemingly appears?

Alfred quickly begins to lose his tenuous grip on reality as he sinks further and further into an intricately designed game of deceit and lies that might put his life in danger! Or is he a threat to himself and everybody around him?

A gripping- intense psychological horror with a twist ending!

Every federal agent who went undercover to bring down Pharaoh – the criminal boss – has gone missing, and Lily’s big brother is one of them.
