For some, existence without their mate might seem like the end of their world...

...for the members of Verdantia’s Tetriarch, it would be.

Conte Camliel Aristos deTano, Ari, has long spurned the marriage forced upon him. His contractual bride, Princess Fleur Constante, the beautiful future queen though young and inexperienced, is willing to risk everything, including her own sanity, to save her planet.

The inhabitants of the sentient planet, Verdantia, are poised on the precipice of extinction following a brutal invasion by an off-world, nomadic horde. Verdantia’s capital, Sylvan Mintoth, must have its failing energy shield restored, or the planet is doomed. The Elders know the shield can draw energy from only one thing-a very arduous and grueling coupling of two specific people who were pre-chosen by the planet Herself and promised by prearranged marriage contract. 

Verdantia draws strength from the duo, but the sentient planet whispers to Ari that a third is necessary ~ Ari’s aide de camp, Visconte Doral deLorion, an angelically handsome, skilled assassin who silently surrendered his heart to Ari long ago.

The trio struggles to make this surprising partnership harmonious, pushing through pride, scars of past abuse, fears of inexperience and distrust. To save Verdantia, they must overcome their individual weaknesses and realize their full potential. Only the tetriarch and their combined synergy, can harness Verdantia’s immense power to shield its citizens from invasion.

Obtaining the key to success in any area of life...

...depends on social ETIQUETTE skills.

THE KEY CLASS

 

 Add to your 'want to read' list HERE

It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, or where you want to go, if you don’t have the proper social etiquette the doors to success will not easily open for you. Our society is based on social interactions, from obtaining our first job to landing large promotions, starting our own business, traveling in foreign countries, enrolling in universities, or speaking about causes and experiences closest to us.

Social etiquette is at the heart of success.

Social etiquette is a universal language that knows no boundaries.

˃˃˃ Those who master social etiquette feel comfortable, confident, and able to communicate effectively in any social situation.

THE KEY CLASS is your go-to-guide for mastering social and business etiquette. Taught by world-renowned special event producer John Daly, The Key Class presents a rare and unique program custom tailored to fit the needs of any organization, school, corporation, or individual. Although the keys to social and business etiquette are universal, there is no one-size-fits-all route to achieving personal success.

The Key Class works with you to meet your own individual goals.

˃˃˃ Through Partners in Education, The Key Class is currently being taught in the majority of high schools in the Santa Barbara, California School System.

Whether you are an educator seeking a valuable social skills resource for your students, a professional student needing that extra edge in job searching, a foreigner who needs to know American etiquette, a returning veteran, or a director of a non-profit or corporation looking for ways to increase employee value within your organization, The Key Class has the unique trajectory to help you reach those goals.

˃˃˃ WHAT DO I GET FROM THE KEY CLASS?

The purpose of The Key Class is to teach the tools of successful social and business skills for anyone, especially youth, who wants to succeed in life. In both personal and professional situations, every society has traditions in place that determine the way people are judged by the people they meet. Understanding these guidelines in society can make or break a person in social and business circles.

The Key Class teaches students how to get along with others, behave properly and treat others respectfully in the workplace or in social situations.

Along with being informative, The Key Class is user-friendly and fun! The use of high-energy interactive teaching methods increases student participation and enhances the learning environment. A series of four classes provides lecture, interactivity and role-playing to give students the knowledge to enter worlds that might not otherwise be achievable without it.

The course covers a variety of techniques, including:

• communications technology modifications, involving cell phones, email and social media
• handling applications;
• research;
• securing appointments;
• phone etiquette;
• proper introductions;
• positive body language;
• conversing;
• following up after an interview;
• creating an effective resume;
• what to wear and what etiquette to use for interviews that take place over a meal;
• financial literacy.

Participants will leave with a complete understanding of the necessary skills to succeed in both their work and life environments and the tools for a successful job search and/or college entrance.

JOHN DALY BIO:

JOHN DALY, an award-winning, internationally-renowned event designer and producer, was dubbed the “Guru of Event Design” by Special Events Magazine 28 years ago. The title is the result of his creative talent and teaching thousands of his peers all his secrets. His name alone at event conventions packs a ballroom with those who sit at his feet and hang on his every word.

But today, John Daly is changing the lives of others in a different way. As a young adult, he made a hobby of protocol and etiquette and learned how they affected events he was producing.  He researched etiquette everywhere he traveled to learn why businesspeople followed specific social behaviors and credits his later business success working with international governments and corporations to this research.

At the same time, he became a Court-Appointed Special Advocate and began mentoring teens.  Realizing that these young people had never been taught manners or how to go about getting a job, John began using his outstanding teaching abilities to provide them with the necessary interviewing tools to sucessfuly secure a job or college entrance.  With that, THE KEY CLASS was born, and has spread from the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse’s Teen Court to unemployed workers to the schools of Santa Barbara Country through Partners in Education.

VOTE >> The New Face of NIGHTLIFE NEW YORK #Paranormal #Erotic #Romance #Thriller #ASMSG

I have one of the best cover artists available, Ida Janssen, with Amygdaladesign

http://www.amygdaladesign.net/

I decided my cover art needed something a little more appropriate for paranormal erotic romance.  and though I love my covers, I had to admit they are more geared towards 'thriller' novels. The NIGHTLIFE SERIES has many aspects of a thriller novel, but it really needs cover art more true to form.  So I picked out a pile of images, and this is what she did:

I need help!!  Vote here for your favorite cover:

THE BLURB:

There is a dark world, hidden in plain sight, filled with vengeful djinn and shadowy demons.

The Council of Peacocks, a group of ruthless wizards, has plans for the human race.

For centuries they have plotted and schemed. Now, the moment of Activation draws near.

Wisdom, an immortal sorcerer, has gathered a band of hybrid youths with extraordinary powers. They are trained to stop the Council. But there’s something that Wisdom doesn’t know.

The Council is no longer working alone.

If Wisdom and his students cannot stop The Council, the world as they know it will cease to exist.

This is the first installment of the Activation Series. Grab your copy now.

THE REVIEW ★★★★★:

I read this book twice over, as a beta ~ critique reader.  The thriller intensity sucked me in, hook, line and sinker.  My inner scifi/paranormal/horror geek was thoroughly satisfied.

This is precisely the kind of book I enjoy reading.  It hits all the buttons: Epic battles, epic moments of self-discovery, epic tales of heroes and villains, and of course there's loads of angst ridden teenagers with badass paranormal/psychokinesis abilities, trying to find their way through horrific scenes of violence and callous disregard for human life.  

Can I get HELL YEAH?

Its X-MEN meets CLASH OF THE TITANS directed by Quentin Tarantino. *cue the cheesy surfer music*

We begin the story with this enigmatic character named Wisdom.  He’s just been through a vicious brawl, but he won.  Wisdom isn’t exactly human, he’s something else:  a demi-god, so powerful he can move through space-time to restart the battle in an attempt to balk fate. This isn’t the first time he’s fought this battle.

But something has changed.  Some other party is mucking about in the timeline, the outcome is no longer certain.

As the tale unfolds, we meet a series of gifted people Wisdom has collected over the years, the Anomalies.  They are being trained for the showdown.

A secret society of sorcerers known as The Council of Peacocks is plotting their return to power.  Once a thriving religious group, they are now led by one of Wisdom’s mistakes, Propates, a man transformed into an immortal.  The Council intends to use humanity as a bartering chip in their deals with demonic entities from other dimensions who want a piece of Earth. 

With his army of ragtag teenager Anomalies, Wisdom intends to stop the Council, at all costs.  But these kids are freaks of nature who don’t even know how they came to be, let alone how to harness their wicked powers.

And how can a band of kids who have more in common with demons than angels become heroes when they barely understand what the hell Wisdom is asking them to do?

In the end, we are securely lined up for the next installment of a very promising series. 

M. Joseph Murphy raises concepts of faith, religion, an insightful view of human history, and a couple of philosophical questions.  

Is there really such a thing as fate?  And if we could move through time, could we change it?

Stalk M. Joseph Murphy at all his social media haunts:

GIVEAWAY #NewRelease ~ HERS TO CHOOSE ~ by Patricia A. Knight #Paranormal #SciFi #Romance #ASMSG

OFFICIAL LAUNCH & GIVEAWAY
~ Hers To Choose (Verdantia #2)~

By Patricia A. Knight

Release Date July 15th, 2013

Genre:  SciFi/Paranormal Romance

Mentally scarred from her years as prisoner to the off-world invaders, Lady Sophillia Glorianna DeLorion, doubts she can be a fit sexual partner for any man – even one whose passionate green eyes make her remember what it is to desire.

Commander of the Queen’s Royal Guard, Eric DeStroia had grown up watching the corrosive, soul-killing effects of arranged, aristocratic marriage and vowed to remain alone. But under his hardened military exterior, Eric has a kind heart. When the second Tetriarch suggests he marry a noble woman rescued from the enemy, Eric reconsiders, consoling himself with visions of sheltering a wounded dove under his mighty arm. Instead, he discovers a fierce falcon that refuses to stoop to his lure.

In the aftermath of their resounding defeat, a survivor from the enemy camp plotted a return to Verdantia to exact retribution. His first objective is the recapture of Lady Sophillia DeLorion. She had been unreachable until she went to the Oshtesh. Now, only Eric DeStroia stands in his way.

What Readers have to say:

★★★★★ "This novel is one of my favorites this year. The chemistry between Sophi and Eric is so great my Kindle almost caught fire!"

★★★★★ "Parts of the book made me cry. Others made me laugh. I honestly can't remember a moment that I was not hooked on the love story..." 

★★★★★ "If you are looking for a scifi erotic romance with a fully developed story and hot sex scenes I recommend this series and this book."

A 5 Star REVIEW ~ LUNA SANGUIS by Simon Okill #Gothic #Paranormal #Romance #Thriller #ASMSG

Until this very moment, I hadn't yet joined the blog your review bandwagon. And, I don't really do reviews very often, but when I do.....

I GAVE THIS NOVEL ★★★★★  FATASS STARS.

 LUNA SANGUIS (Luna Series Part 1)

AMAZON US

AMAZON UK

THE BLURB:

Paris 1925. A young woman is nearing her Eternal Vampire state as her birthday approaches. She is held captive by the hybrid vampire she created and slowly drained of her pure blood to keep his addiction in check. She outwits him and escapes to a chateau in the hope of reaching maturity. But he follows her unmistakable scent and massacres all that dare protect his supply of Eternal blood.

She awakens in a tiny room trapped and defenceless with amnesia, but something deep in her subconscious yearns to be set free by the next full moon – the date of her Eternal Birthday.

Her true self, Eternal, emerges in brief flashes of awareness to protect her from the horrors of this terrifying prison. Desperate, she forges an alliance with her true love, a gorgeous young doctor treating her.

But her nemesis is out there somewhere, relishing the hunt for her blood – and nothing will stop him from becoming Eternal.

THE REVIEW:

A gothic tale of love, hate, obsession, and the quest for immortality...

"The sweetest music he had ever heard slowly evaporated from his memory like the dying sighs of a thousand angels."

Eternal - Delicate Rose - Petite Fleur, is a woman with a fractured mind from the horrid savagery she witnessed at the hands of her pursuer, Count Lucien.

This gothic, dark, poetic tale leads us through the twisted mind of this poor woman as she is entrapped in the bowels of an insane asylum reminiscent of Dante's Inferno.

She and the Count share a commonality, they exist in a perpetual dance of love and hate, mutual obsession. Both are inhabited by the souls of ancients entwined in an age-old battle for her precious, eternal blood. Through snatches of broken memory we learn Eternal has been pursued by the Count in all his incarnations across ancient Europe, the two of them leap-frogging into one life after another, each vying for that magic moment when her blood will bring forth its gift of eternal life.

"He heard that word again - "Eternal" - carried on a breeze of subconscious design."

This lost soul plays the role of Madonna, bearing aspects of pure innocence and the predatory succubus. Through the centuries she has seduced kings, queens, statesmen, and all manner of rulers. A muse inspiring artists to greatness, forging conquerors from average men, she is a living paradox, the woman every man wants but can never truly have.

Simon Okill crafts a lyrical and disturbing story in the grand fashion of Edgar Allan Poe, told from the perspective of tortured souls with dual personalities. The characters are colorful, lively, despicable, yet still lovable in their human frailty.

A genre-bender, the story is definitely not what you would ever expect. A clever world where nothing and no one is what they seem, a world mired in grey morality where villains and heroes trade places like schizophrenics. 

***Confession time:  I read this book pre-publication, and did two rounds of edits.  But so what?  Its still a good book.
