{Spotlight} BENEATH THE VEIL by Aimee Roseland --with giveaway!
Beneath the Veil
AnthologyBooks One through Five
Available on October 1st.
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/358338
A Kiss Beneath the Veil
Daphne became a ghost whisperer when the Veil was lifted and the others came out of hiding. Now she’s intent on using her new ability to track down a serial killer who’s been terrorizing children in her small town. Isaac is an ancient vampire pursuing Daphne as she runs from his love and the promise of his immortal kiss. He will do anything to prove that they belong together, forever, including slaying a real monster for her.
A Taste for Moonlight
Anne gave up on finding her Prince Charming exactly one divorce, two kids, and (ahem) several pounds ago. Besides, she’s too busy building her business and being a good mom to even miss love anymore...usually...sometimes. But all that changes when she finds herself tricked into going to a werewolf strip club on her birthday. That’s when Thomas sees her for the first time and realizes that she is the mate he’s searched centuries for.
A Darker Shade of Dawn
Roschana doesn’t have many friends. Maybe it’s that whole I-eat-sex-for-breakfast thing? Too sexy? Too creepy? Whatever. She can’t help that she’s a succubus or that when most people find out about her eating habits they usually get the wrong impression and bolt, or drop trou on the spot. Eeww. But Thomas isn’t like most people. He’s a nerd who understands the stars better than he understands people. Who knew that the fastest way to a succubus’s heart was through a telescope?
A Heart of Stone and Fire
Athena is dying. There, she admitted it. So now what? In a world made topsy turvy by the lifting of the Veil, a girl ought to be able to find a cure for something as banal as cancer. And if she can’t? Well, then there’s always shopping. Gestein has guarded Athena since their paths first crossed when she was just a child. He would do anything to save her from the fate she has in store, but he’s bound to honor the vow he made not to interfere in her life. And a gargoyle always keeps his word.
A Constant Rapture
Constance is searching for a miracle; because that’s the only way she’ll be able to save her little sister and herself from the Ochi’s grasp. Xavier is working as a stage magician on the Vegas strip when Constance barges in and disrupts his carefully ordered plans: work, drink, rinse, repeat. He doesn’t see how his one shite talent could possibly help in her search until he’s already neck deep in Ochi mercenaries. By then there’s the complication of him starting to fall for his dream girl...
I was born and raised near Las Vegas, NV and grew up dreaming of rain. I also dreamt of heroes and villains and the women that inspired the best and worst in them.
It seemed like every book I read as a teen was a classic bodice-ripper. Wimpy-virgin-heroine always making bad choices and getting herself in trouble, cue the macho hero, yadda yadda yadda. Those books are what inspired me to write my own stories, not because I loved those retro-romances, but because I constantly found myself tossing them aside and fuming. I would think of all the ways the story would have been better: if she had just picked up the sword and stabbed the bad guy when she had the chance...
I LOVE writing and I love the new direction that fiction has taken over the last decade. So many amazing, strong female leads now! And so many new writers that finally have a voice in the indie publishing community.
I was blessed with a wonderful husband who supports my passion for writing and reading and who really helped me focus my desire to publish my work. When I'm not busy enjoying my daughter and husband I'm usually developing a new story idea or sneaking in a bit of free time with my favorite authors.
I'm a bit of a hermit, they called it being "shy" when I was a kid, but I love hearing from fans. I also love ferrets, hiking, chili dark chocolate, strong coffee, nursing mamas, and rain.

EXCERPT
Death Day Anniversary by Lee Brazil
His squirming movements created unbearable friction, and I
traced a hand down the tight denim to capture a taut buttock and hold him still
against me while I thoroughly explored the wet cavern he’d granted me access
to.
I drew away and stared down at him. “I wanted to do that the
first moment I saw you at my resting place.”
Awakening at moonrise to find such a tempting morsel in my
tomb had been a delicious surprise. His flight across the graveyard had been
invigorating.
“Yeah.” His breathy agreement made me smile again

Author Bio and Links
Lee Brazil: I'm an
avid reader and former teacher of grammar and composition who believes that
falling in love is the grandest adventure anyone can have. In a nutshell,
that's every story I have to tell.
Relocating from the crazy pace of life in Southern California's
Orange County to the beautiful and leisurely atmosphere of the Illinois
countryside has given me the time to indulge the desire to write, which I'd set
aside when I started teaching fourteen years ago. Readers can find out more
about me and my writing by visiting my blog, Lee's Musings, or finding me on
Facebook.

Havan Fellows:
Something about me? Hmm…well I'm a mild
mannered person with an imagination that makes me blush, and I'm itching to get
under your skin as we speak. I
thoroughly love getting lost in a book or two and pray for the day my kiddos or
family won't find me there. I write with
the group Story Orgy and hope to continue doing so for a long time and I follow
my muse where ever he takes me … he hasn't failed me yet! And just like every other red blooded human –
I love hearing from people. So feel free
to drop me a line – whether it's a comment on my blog, an email, a tweet or you
track me down on FaceBook or Google +…it's easy to catch someone who wants to
be caught.
I annoy, love, respect, scare, seduce, hurt, anger,
infatuate, frustrate, flatter, envy, amuse and tolerate everyone. I just do it
better in writing thanks to a little thing called...edits.

Ravan McAllan: Raven
lives in Scotland, along with her husband and their two cats—their children
having flown the nest—surrounded by beautiful scenery, which inspires a lot of the
settings in her books.
She is used to sharing her life with the occasional deer,
red squirrel, and lost tourist, to say nothing of the scourge of Scotland—the
midge.
A lover of reading, she appreciates the history inside a
book, and the chance to peek into the lives of those from years ago. Raven
admits that she enjoys the research for her books almost as much as the
writing; so much so, that sometimes she realizes she's strayed way past the
information she needs to know, and not a paragraph has been added to her WIP.

Dianne Hartsock:
After growing up in California and spending the first ten years of marriage in
Colorado, I now live in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon with my
incredibly patient husband, who puts up with the endless hours I spend hunched
over the keyboard, letting my characters play.
I have to say, Oregon's raindrops are the perfect setting in
which to write my slightly twisted tails. There's something about being cooped
up in the house while it pours rain outside, a fire crackles on the hearth
inside, and a cup of hot coffee warms my hands that kindles my imagination.
The intricate and fragile nature of the mind is always
fascinating. Having worked with the public through various careers, I've come
to respect the resilience and strength of the human spirit. I'm always trying
to capture that spirit in my writing.
Currently I work as a floral designer in a locally owned
gift shop, which is the perfect job for me. When not writing, I can express
myself through the rich colors and textures of flowers and foliage.
My first publication was Shelton in Love from Breathless
Press, released May 13th, 2011.

Doris O’Connor:
Glutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris... at least that's
what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a
brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler and lives happily in a
far too small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very
understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.
There is always something better to do after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet and besides, sleep is for wimps.
She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F, and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.

S.J. Thomas: I
believe in love at first sight and instant attraction. I love strong possessive
alpha males and the feisty heroines (or heroes!) who bring them to their knees.
I read, write and breathe paranormal romance and erotica with occasional forays
into paranormal horror and sci fi. Come find out more with excerpts from my
writing together with some fun things on my Facebook Page www.facebook.com/sjthomaswpr
