    Dragon Myth: Dominated by the Dragon @KryssieFortune #Dragons #RLFBlog

    Today’s featured book is Dominated by the Dragon by Kryssie Fortune

    Variations on a Dragon Myth

    When is a dragon not a dragon? When it’s a chimera of course. A what?  Well, to quote Homer’s Iliad a chimera is thing of immortal make, not human, lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle, and snorting out the breath of a terrible flame of bright fire. That sounds like the world’s worst description of a dragon to me. No way would I want to meet this beast, especially if it breathed fire.
    The Ancient Greeks had a hero for everything, even slaying a Chimera. Perseus killed Medusa, Theseus killed the Minotaur while Hercules killed pretty much everyone he met, including his wife and child. Bellerophon rode a flying horse, and together they killed the Chimera. The world must have been full of monsters back then.
    Every culture has its own version of dragons. Perhaps the most well-known dragons ail from China. 
    To the Ancient Chinese, the Dragon symbolized power and wisdom. They revered them as a symbol of power, but they needed to placate them. Since they believed dragons could control water, they thought floods occurred when a mortal upset a dragon.
    I guess the moral of my story is whatever its species, you need to keep your dragon happy. The same applies to Flynn Hemsworth—hero of my book Dominated By the Dragon. He’s a former super soldier turned mercenary with a dragon demon bonded into his soul. 

    About the Book

    Title Dominated by the Dragon
    Genre Paranormal Romance
    Author Kryssie Fortune
    A former super soldier turned dragon demon must choose between his soul mate and saving the world from a nuclear winter.
    The British army’s nuclear testing bonded a dragon into Flynn Hemsworth’s soul. Military scientists vivisected and tortured him until he escaped two years later. Although he’s never aged, he’s been alone and on the run for almost six decades. When he prevents a naked woman from being the prize lot in a coven’s slave auction, he realizes she has an unexplored submissive streak.
    Hope Mathews—a sassy blonde with killer keyboard skills—is a strong independent woman. When Flynn prevents her being sold to a demon, she discovers she enjoys spankings and light bondage.
    Together Hope and Flynn must shut down a coven of black magicians, rescue kidnapped demons, and stop a black ops nuclear missile hitting the UK. Even if they manage all that, Hope’s the granddaughter of a billionaire while Flynn’s still on the run from the military who want to dissect him again. Can they find common ground and build a life together?
    Reader Advisory: Contains explicit language, a virginal heroine who discovers she enjoys spanking and bondage. Add in some serious dragon demon loving, light the blue touch paper, stand back, and watch the sparks fly..

Her former jobs as a mail lady, plant manager, and business owner have stocked her brain full of quirky characters she can’t wait to share with her readers.
    What’s your favorite down-home family style meal? Home-made enchiladas. I have a great recipe for chili that I cook down the second or third day and top corn tortillas, filled with sweet onion and cheddar cheese with the chili. OMG, I must go make some chili…
    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
    Longhorn – filet mignon, baked potato and salad. I’m almost always traveling because there aren’t any near me in Louisiana.
    Who is your “book boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?
    Hmm, it’s still between J.D. Robb’s Roarke and Matthew Clairmont from Deborah Harkness’ All Souls Trilogy. Start on either one, they’re like chocolate. Dark, luscious, addicting, yummy…

    If it’s for relaxation, often I read historical romance like Grace Burrowes and most recently Deborah Harkness
    What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?
    Since I write contemporary and paranormal romance I will read something with the same flavor as what I’m working on. Humorous paranormal, military romance, Darynda Jones, Kristan Painter, Jill Shalvis, Barbara Freethy
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    Oh this is perfect. Jack Lang’s ringtone Aerosmith’s Crazy
    “It’s time for you to change your crazy ways, ya hear me?”

    About the Book

    Book TItle: Storm Crazy
    Genre: Paranormal
    Author: Livia Quinn
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    To say I was having a bad day would be like saying Katrina dropped a little rain on the Gulf Coast. My name is Tempest Pomeroy. I’m a mail carrier in Destiny, Louisiana, and a Paramortal like my family. Or I’m supposed to be. If I didn’t have a few little talents, I’d think I was adopted.
    Before I left for work, I discovered my brother’s amphora missing from the mantle—that’s genie bottle to you mere-mortals— and on my first delivery, a handsome scantily clad doctor triggered some sort of hallucination with just a touch. Pheromones? Then one of my customers had a stroke while reading me the riot act over a piece of mail, but I saved the old grouch with a zap of my Zeus juice, only to have Destiny’s hunky new sheriff show up minutes later.
    And again, when the owner of Flowers by Dick filed a complaint against me for dropping a seventy-five pound box on his foot. Yeah, I did it, but it was kind of an accident. He put his hand where it didn’t belong and I… sorta dropped the box. Things went downhill from there.
    I discovered a dead body in the clubhouse and rescued my brother’s amphora from a locker, bashing it in with a Greg Norman wedge…and guess who showed up?
    I’ve denied my heritage as a Tempestaerie for too long. Now, my mother’s out of pocket, my brother’s missing and the sheriff thinks one of us is guilty of murder. Is it any wonder I’m calling this the worst M.A.L.E day of my life?
    Oh, and the sheriff? He thought he’d settled in a normal small town to raise his teenage daughter. Like Mayberry. We’ll see how that turns out…  Things better settle down soon ‘cause I’m about to go Storm Crazy.

    Meet Barbara Heyer: Till Life Do Us Part #PNR @Carmen_Books #RLFblog

    Carmen Stefanescu resides in Romania, the native country of
    the infamous vampire Count Dracula, but where, for about 50 years of communist
    dictatorship, just speaking about God, faith, reincarnation or paranormal
    phenomena could have led someone to great trouble – the psychiatric hospital if
    not to prison.

    High school teacher of English and German in her native
    country, and mother of two daughters, Carmen Stefanescu survived the grim years
    of oppression by escaping in a parallel world of books.

    Several of her poems were successfully published in a
    collection of Contemporary English Poems, Muse Whispers vol.1 and Muse Whispers
    vol.2 by Midnight Edition Publication, in 2001 and 2002.
    Her first novel, Shadows of the Past, was released in 2012
    by Wild Child Publishing, USA.
    Carmen joined the volunteer staff at Marketing For Romance
    Writers Author blog and is the coordinator of #Thursday13 posts.

    About the Book

    Title Till Life Do Us Part
    Genre Paranormal/romantic suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    Barbara Heyer can hear voices of dead people. They whisper of their deaths, seek comfort for those left behind, and occasionally even warn her about future events. But when Barbara’s brother, Colin, is accused of murder, it will take more than her gift to prove his innocence.
    Becoming smitten with the handsome investigator, Detective Patrick Fischer, is a serious complication given his assignment to her brother’s case. Barbara senses there is something far deeper—and perhaps much older—than the surface attraction between them. Could that be why she’s visited by a mysterious woman named Emma in her dreams? Could past life regression tie all the seemingly unconnected events together?
    Barbara and Patrick must overcome heartache to find the truth to save Colin, and perhaps themselves.

    Introducing Barbara Heyer

    Welcome to Romance
    Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.
    Name: Barbara Heyer
    Age: 24
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace:
    Pleasanton, Texas, USA
    Profession:
    Librarian
    Describe your
    body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such
    as dimples, freckles, or scars.
    I am a petite
    brunette, as Colin, my brother calls me. My hair is curled driving me crazy
    when I have to comb it in the morning.
    Who is the
    significant other in your life?
    After my brother
    was charged with murdering his girlfriend Kathleen, I fell in love with
    Patrick, the detective assigned to his case. Not an easy situation, trust me.
    Please tell us a
    little about yourself.
    I love to read and
    that’s why I love my job as librarian. I am skilled with a paintbrush and colors.
    Above all, I can hear voices of the dead people. It is nice to know I can bring
    comfort to bereaved families, and also open their eyes to something as natural
    as the living world of the spirits.
    Please tell us
    about your education.
    I graduated a nurse
    course and a librarian one. I work at the Municipal City Library. I am pleased
    with my workplace as I love books and, each morning, going to my job I feel
    happy.
    Do you get by,
    live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    Even if I work part
    time, I earn some good money from the miniature landscapes I paint. And even
    from talking with the ghosts, the souls of the departed. I don’t charge
    anything for this but people offer me all kind of things as a sign of their
    appreciation – a box of chocolates, perfumes, tickets and invitations to shows,
    flowers, books, all kind of presents that are useful to me.
    On what special
    skills do you rely?
    My gift with the
    paint brush and, above all, my ability to hear the voices of the departed people.
    Are you close to
    family?
    I’m sad to give you
    a negative answer. I left my parents’ house because of my father’s tyrannical
    attitude. I live now in a house of my own and my brother Colin joined me
    shortly after I left.
    How well do you
    know your neighbors?
    Not too well. I
    have no clue who my neighbors are. I am a friendly person, but I never enter
    other people’s lives uninvited. The neighborhood didn’t seem very welcoming to
    me, so I kept to myself. It has never struck me that being a newcomer in the
    House Creek North district, on Elm Street, mattered. I hoped to be able to
    build a new life, I alone, in charge of it. My life with my family was mapped
    by my father’s will and whim.
    If someone from
    your past showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?
    It would be Hans,
    my boyfriend of those days. But I can’t reveal more about him now. You’ll have
    to read my story and then you’ll understand why.
    If someone from
    your past showed up, who would you most NOT want it to be, and why?
    An easy answer, and
    I refer to another past life – Judge Wieland. A man I had deep respect for, at
    first. Until I discovered what lay beneath his façade of respectability.
    What secrets do
    you know about people around you that you do NOT share?
    Too many. Their
    departed relatives and friends trust me with those secrets as they know I will
    not tell anybody else. And, a secret is a secret, so I can’t share it with you.
    What past event
    causes you the most fear?
    Hmm! Hard to
    explain at first, but I have an irrational fear of fire. Later, I learned what
    caused it. In another life I was burned at the stake as a witch, though the
    accusations were false.
    What would you
    like to tell your writer?
    I want to thank her
    for helping me remember my past life, even if it was a heart breaking experience.

    Since her father died, Kate Sweeting’s home life has been in the pits, her well-being on life support. Her future looks desolate until she and her mother, Cara, make another plan: abandon their shriveled existence for more promising prospects on the coast, where Cara can play small-town librarian/bachelorette and Kate can figure out what’s up with that secretive Blake family from the beach.
    Everyone is eerily captivated with Kate and her mother, and Cara is the first to figure out why when the man of her dreams arrives all dripping and devoted and closed-mouthed about what he intends. Kate is willing to go along with their subterfuge for a while but eventually makes a charge for the water to learn what her mother is hiding. Gabe Blake is there waiting for her…and so is someone considerably less friendly. By the time Kate navigates her way home, everything will have changed for her—what she feels, what she wants, and what she’ll risk to be with the man she loves.
