Ta-da! Thank you Tara for the help putting the contest up! Looks good. Good Luck everyone who enters!

Tara told me about the picture before I actually saw it. It's cool how each of us can take the same subject matter and run with it. I had so much fun writing Claiming Love. Thanks again Tara!

Happy Tuesday Everyone

A contest with Wings

Take flight with four Amira Press authors by participating in a great contest giveaway! Each author will be giving away one copy of their book from the Wings Series available through Amira Press.



This whole project started with a simple picture, a man with strap on wings walking through a forest. After gathering like minded authors, we put our heads together and came up with a few ground rules, basically, there weren't any. We had a few fall backs, our original publisher closed but Anastasia and Brieanna quickly thought of Amira Press and we were on our way again. Once all of the stories were in Brieanna made sure everything was as it should be and Anastasia created our beautiful covers.




The stories range from sensual to hot.

All you need to do is email us at wingsseries@gmail.com, list the book(s) you are interested in, and we will sign you up for our author newsletters. The contest starts August 5th, 2009, and ends October 5th, 2009. All Winners will be notified via email.

Book Blurb:

Treila is the second born twin and heir to the Telen throne after her sister’s untimely death. Her sister, whose magic was of the light, of faith, love and hope, was the one intended to rule Telen, not Treila, whose magic is so obviously of the darkness. Faced with having to wed the Nor King in order to save her city from destruction, she leaves Telen, hoping to discover what became of her sister. She ventures to the cliffs of Plemae where the angels dwell, for it was a dark angel who stole her sister away, but before she can get any answers, she is captured and brought before the demon king in the sky palace. There she is thrown into an unwieldy alliance with the very dark angel who kidnapped her sister—Kolar, now an outcast traitor for standing against his master. Together, she and her enemy must escape the demons and return to Telen before the full moon and the Nor King’s attack. As much as she wants to hate Kolar, Treila can’t deny her heated attraction to the dark winged angel despite who he is and what he has done to change her life.

Honey Wine by Brieanna Robertson

Author Website


Bio:


If someone were to ask me what I am, it could be summed up in one, simple word: Dreamer. Ever since I was a small child my imagination has run wild. I have been telling stories for as long as I can remember, creating grand worlds in my head and going on adventures that were invisible to others around me. Am I eccentric? Yes. Am I proud of that? Absolutely.

I write about the things that inspire me, both in this world and in realms only seen with the imagination. My heroines are sassy and strong. My heroes are sometimes shy. I have an obsession with music (and musicians) and a fascination with wings. I believe true love does exist, and sometimes it is found in the strangest, most unexpected places. I also believe that family and close friends are the glue that hold people together.

Above all things, I believe in being true to yourself and seizing the day. Life is an amazing gift. Make your experience as beautiful as you possibly can.

Book Blurb:

Reeling from her recent break up, Meara ditches a Halloween party held in a cemetery at the edge of town, and seeks out the one reliable man in her life - who just happens to be a statue with large bat wings. The winged man had always intrigued her, but that just seems to go along with her other idiosyncrasies – her ability to read emotions and dream the future.

Even after years imprisoned in marble, D'iamonte can feel and see everything that goes on around him. Most of the time, his encounters have been unpleasant, but when his beautiful young mortal comes calling, late one Halloween, he is surprised and pleased that she feels bold enough to crawl in to his lap and have her way with him.

Neither of them expects him to wake up.

I have the #2 spot on Amira Press' top ten bestseller list!! Yaah!

My father-in-law is visiting, and him and my husband have been on a roll with the house to-do list. Oh yeah!! My mother-in-law calls it a Honey Do list.

So, back to writing. I love it and I am so glad I found it in life.  Sounds cheesy, but it's true. It's fun. 

I'm still perfecting the art of time management. It's cool, though, and coming together.

This post is all over the place, but I want to add a big Thank You to everyone who has been so supportive of my writing and my first book. I love this journey. Cheers to a lot more fun!

Happy Sunday night everyone!
