    About Celestial Dragon

    Genre Science Fiction Futuristic Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    When Zan Dane, ruler of Pelicosia, finds ninety-five women for
    his men, he never dreams of finding his own mate. Exiled for daring to oppose the
    Burdven Empire, they have no women, no mates to regenerate their new kingdom and
    populate it with the sound of children until Zan Dane finds a way to travel across
    galaxies in search of prospective mates.
    Chelian Kar is Deliphit, an outcast with supernatural powers.
    Though she is the daughter of the High Chancellor of Kel, Satobik laws prohibit
    her from having physical contact with anyone. While other young women are mated
    to men chosen by their fathers, Chelian has no such hope until Zan Dane soars into
    her life. With an offer of zeel, a commodity most men would die for, Zan Dane convinces
    her father to allow the union. Will his journey lead him to a treasure richer than
    zeel?

    Lucian Willshire is plagued by thoughts of a fae world and the disappearance of his aunt some nineteen years past, but when his friend drags him back to Hamingjur Castle, he stumbles into Alfheim Haven once more where mystical beings become more than a distant memory.
    Lyerra Ahdia is baffled by the sudden emotional changes she’s experiencing until she discovers she’s the only witch to suffer “the change” since her mother stole the Rose, a special talisman with the power to perpetuate life among those in her coven.

    Though neither set out to find anything except the Rose, fate has other plans. Will love be more elusive than hunting the Rose?

    The blog uses author or publisher names as tags on posts, and author Twitter handles
    in the titles. The site is broadcast over Triberr with a potential reach of over
    3.5M readers via its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered
    in several Paper.li ezines, giving the author additional opportunities for promotion.

    About The Keeper of Moon Haven

    Genre  Victorian
    Fantasy Romance
    Author  Ciara Gold
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    On the southern fringes of the Mendip Hills sits the Castle
    Hamingjur, an abandoned structure most fear haunted. Yet, on the rare occasions
    when the Hunter’s Blue Moon occurs, the Keeper occupies this mysterious castle
    where he guards the bridge to Alfheim Haven.
    Noreen Willshire discovers more than fairytales hidden
    between the pages of Beletania’s diary. She opens the ancient book and finds a
    bridge to a Faery Realm where all manner of mythical creatures reside. In her
    naïveté, she summons the Keeper before his scheduled time in the human realm.
    In that brief moment, the mysterious wizard touches her soul with more than
    magick. She promises to return the diary during Mefylleth, a time when the barriers between the two realms melt
    away, but danger stalks her path. Torn between her desire to make a new life
    for herself in America and her growing love for the Keeper, she must bridge the
    gap between magick and time to follow her heart.
