Magicstorm, Book 4

When a mortal cop is forced to delve into the paranormal, only a Viking vampire can save her soul.

Detective Celeste Wilder knows who she is—a damn fine cop. But when the recently dubbed Cult Killings start back up, this time targeting the city prostitutes she’s sworn to protect, Celeste is thrown into a world of paranormal creatures she never believed existed. Murderous monsters out to stop her from uncovering more of their secrets.

Brandon Wulfgar knows something is off the moment he sees Celeste, valiantly fighting for her life against a group of rogue vampires. When he’s asked to work with her—stop the local murders, while keeping the woman safe—he figures no problem.

As the undeniable connection between them grows, and danger appears from every side, Celeste and Brandon will have to trust one another for more than just their lives.

 

Firestorm, Book 5

A Viking vampire must face his tortuous past to save the woman who holds the key to his future.

Eric Wulfgar escaped from twisted dreams, only to find insanity following him into reality. Feeling like a shell of the man he once was, his King’s orders to help a New Orleans vampire clan might require more than he can give. Duty offers him no choice but to leave the shadows, and return to the living.

Cat Bienville is frantic. Someone, or something, is stalking the vampires of New Orleans. When the missing turn up dead, with no explanation why, and her Sire disappears, she runs out of options. Left in charge of her vampire coven, Cat knows her duty is to keep her people safe. Only, she’s not prepared for help to come in the form of a chauvinistic male, with such a tattered soul.

When friends may be foes, Cat and Eric must find balance with one another, in order to unveil the evil in their midst, even as a bigger threat darkens the horizon. Yet, Cat’s past may fracture their growing bonds. How can she give Eric her heart, when her deepest secret may be more than he can ever accept?

 

Demonstorm, Book 6

A vampire half-breed must save the only woman who can help him heal both sides of his tattered soul.

Half-demon, half-vampire, Sean MacDougal is an outcast, considered an abomination and unwelcome by most—simply for the blood that runs in his veins. But when the Arcaine world finds out a war is brewing that will affect all paranormal creatures, Sean may be the only one able to rescue a demoness who holds desperately needed answers.

Used for centuries as the pet Seer and Prophetess of the demon who destroyed her family and home, Mayah is rescued by an intriguing half-breed who asks, rather than demands, her assistance. Unable to trust anyone, she pretends to agree, but only if he first helps rescue her brother, held prisoner deep in the frozen wilds of Alaska—even as they both know their actions will lead to a showdown with a terrifying monster, and all his dangerous creatures.

Becoming a protector fulfills an emptiness within Sean he never knew existed. Being protected makes Mayah feel safe for the first time in forever. Hunted by an entire demon army, led by the one who will do anything to get her back, Mayah and Sean must learn to trust in themselves, in one another, and in the emotions sparking between them, no matter how hard they try to resist.

Maggie Tideswell and A Convenient Marriage

Please help me welcome author Maggie Tideswell to the blog today. She’s got some goodies to tell us about.

A Convenient Marriage, releasing October 13, 2016!

ACM MTIDESWELL RELEASE BANNER

The idea of two complete strangers getting hitched has always intrigued me, for one simple reason—why would they do such a thing? Could such a relationship succeed? By successful relationship, I understand not only the longevity of the marriage…but is it possible for the participants to actually fall in love with each other in such a strange arrangement? Love is found in the most unexpected places.

A Convenient Marriage grew over a number of years. The basic story was simple—a divorcee with two children, an ex-husband being difficult over visitation, as well as a fiancée unable to commit. Holly’s friends suggested that she needed a new husband, placing an advert in the paper for one behind her back. Joshua was struck by a simple plan when he saw the ad and responded to it.

Why would Holly marry a man she’d never met, and why would Joshua respond to an ad for a husband, then actually propose to a woman he had never clapped eyes on? So, in came the dawdling fiancée, Nicole. Both Holly and Joshua were justified in not planning the marriage to be a real one, because they each had an agenda of their own, but Nicole was the injured party. For their plan to succeed, they had to marry—the real kind, down to that all-important piece of paper married—and they had to seem to be totally in love with each other. That it is all a scam, only they would know.

And here comes the ‘but’. Holly and Joshua’s plans go awry from the moment they meet on the steps of the chapel where their fake marriage is to take place, when both recognize the immediate attraction. Back at Joshua’s wine estate—yes, he is a rich landowner where Holly expected him to be a pauper—Holly meets Joshua’s mother, his brother and sister-in-law, and Nicole, the fiancée, who found out about Joshua’s duplicity in a room full of people. No one can blame Nicole for being a tad upset. Or can they? To add to Holly’s woes, she seems to have acquired a ‘ghost’ demanding she tell a story.

Amidst Nicole’s shenanigans, Joshua’s mother’s disapproval, Holly’s ex’s aggression, and the ghost following Holly around, will these two accomplish what they set out to do? Or will life get in the way?

Joshua’s and Holly’s journey through the uncharted seas of a blind marriage, where no rules apply, is a stormy one. Place your order here:

About the Author

Maggie Tideswell lives in Johannesburg—South Africa, with her husband, Gareth. She began writing when her kids were still very young,Mom squeezing a few paragraphs at a time between the hectic schedule of raising three children, and working full time in the catering industry. She wrote many books before considering having them published. Now that the children have all made lives for themselves, there is more time for writing.

After much experimentation, Maggie writes passionate paranormal romance, of varying levels of heat. The paranormal, things that happen for which there are no logical explanations and ghosts are of particular interest to Maggie. What events in a person’s life would prevent that person from ‘resting’ after death? The ‘Old Religion’ is another special interest. And love, of course. Why do people fall in love? What keeps them together for a lifetime when so many relationships fail?

Maggie’s advice to aspirant novelists is two-fold. Never give up, and write every day. Writing is a craft that has to be honed with practice. And the only way to practice writing is by doing it. And a bonus, never stop reading your favorite genre. Reading it and writing it is the only training for a writer.
