Central Theme
To save the small infant’s life, Chenoa, her grandmother, did the unthinkable. She merged her life force with a tiny wolf cub then gave the cub to Jennifer, her other grand daughter to take care of. Too bad, Chenoa died before she was able to undo the spell or tell anyone what she had done. For twenty years Jessica watched the world pass her by through the eyes of another creature. Most of the time, the things humans did didn’t concern her, unless of course they told her to get off the couch or sleep on the floor. Thank the heavens above for Jennifer, who still doesn’t know who she truly is, or she’d still be eating raw meat.
Jessica was content and happy for the most part until she laid eyes on Raphael who came to pick her up from the wolf rescue center a few weeks ago. Since then, her primary focus has been to stay by his side and find away to undo her grandmother’s powerful magic.
In the meantime, Jessica has developed her natural Selkie abilities and has started communicating with Raphael. At night while he sleeps she enters his dreams under the pretense of what she should be – a human woman who has two arms to hold him and stands on two legs, not four.
Convinced he is going mad; Raphael privately searches for the angel who haunts his dreams. With an ivory face as soft as velvet, radiating both pure innocence and sexual seduction at the same time, what else could she be if not an angel? His search is interrupted when the Guardians discover the Legions latest endeavors; they’re kidnapping unprotected women and lifemates across the world. A call goes out and the Guardians once again implement their recruitment policy. The war is escalating.
Raphael takes Nowaki, Jennifer’s wolf with him to interview prospective candidates. Board with interviews he decides to take Nowaki on a run in the forest. Taking a break from running they stop by a near by stream. He doesn’t hear the gunshot but feels the blast as it hits his chest and falls to his knees.
Nowaki takes off after the assailant and gets her revenge but not until after the attacker mortally wounds her. Jessica takes over Nowaki’s body and pulls herself back to Raphael convinced they will die together. Lying on top of him to keep from getting cold, she has in reality, saved his life. The blood from her wounds drips down into his open mouth.
Jennifer along with Gabe, Thomas, Michael and Roger arrive on the scene. Michael tells Jennifer,” he’s sorry but Nowaki won’t make it back to the helicopter, much less the compound.” Jen, who was visited by Chenoa the night before now knows about Jessica and Nowaki but has yet to say anything to anyone. She shares her secret with Michael who immediately steps in and attempts to save the wolf. They all make it back to the where surgery is performed on both Raphael and Nowaki. Jennifer shares her grandmother’s secrets with Alice, her best friend, and Gabe.
When Raphael wakes he demands to go back to the forest. His Angel saved his life and no one will believe him. Gabriel finally tells him the truth, Jessica, his angel, and Nowaki are one in the same. The only problem is how to separate the two?
Chenoa shared a bit more with Jennifer… They must return to the cabin where Jessica was born in California and Jennifer must complete the ritual. Only problem is, she doesn’t know how. She waits for her grandmother to show her what to do.

Lee Brazil: I'm an avid reader and former teacher of grammar and composition who believes that falling in love is the grandest adventure anyone can have. In a nutshell, that's every story I have to tell.
Relocating from the crazy pace of life in Southern California's Orange County to the beautiful and leisurely atmosphere of the Illinois countryside has given me the time to indulge the desire to write, which I'd set aside when I started teaching fourteen years ago. Readers can find out more about me and my writing by visiting my blog, Lee's Musings, or finding me on Facebook. Feel free to drop me a line at lee.brazil@ymail.com.
Hank Edwards: Hank Edwards is a member of the Story Orgy writer's group and posts free m/m stories on his blog every Monday morning at www.hankedwardbooks.com/blog. His published titles include the first book of his Venom Valley Series, the self-published cowboy/vampire/zombie mash-up Bounty, as well as the Charlie Heggensford series, Fluffers, Inc., A Carnal Cruise, and the Lambda Literary Award Finalist Vancouver Nights, all available from Lethe Press. He has also published three books through Loose Id: the romantic suspense thriller Holed Up, the time travel romance Destiny's Bastard, and the contemporary romantic comedy Plus Ones. Dozens of his short stories have been published in a variety of erotic magazines and anthologies, some of the most recent collections being Frat Boys from Cleis Press and Bear Lust and Tales from the Den from Bear Bones Books. Hank lives in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan, with his partner of more than 15 years and their two cats, who rule their lives with iron paws. Find out more at www.hankedwardsbooks.com.
Havan Fellows: Something about me?  Hmm…well I'm a mild mannered person with an imagination that makes me blush, and I'm itching to get under your skin as we speak.  I thoroughly love getting lost in a book or two and pray for the day my kiddos or family won't find me there.  I write with the group Story Orgy and hope to continue doing so for a long time and I follow my muse where ever he takes me … he hasn't failed me yet!  And just like every other red blooded human – I love hearing from people.  So feel free to drop me a line – whether it's a comment on my blog, an email, a tweet or you track me down on FaceBook or Google +…it's easy to catch someone who wants to be caught. 
I annoy, love, respect, scare, seduce, hurt, anger, infatuate, frustrate, flatter, envy, amuse and tolerate everyone. I just do it better in writing thanks to a little thing called...edits.
Ravan McAllan: Raven lives in Scotland, along with her husband and their two cats—their children having flown the nest—surrounded by beautiful scenery, which inspires a lot of the settings in her books.
She is used to sharing her life with the occasional deer, red squirrel, and lost tourist, to say nothing of the scourge of Scotland—the midge.
A lover of reading, she appreciates the history inside a book, and the chance to peek into the lives of those from years ago. Raven admits that she enjoys the research for her books almost as much as the writing; so much so, that sometimes she realizes she's strayed way past the information she needs to know, and not a paragraph has been added to her WIP.
Dianne Hartsock: After growing up in California and spending the first ten years of marriage in Colorado, I now live in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon with my incredibly patient husband, who puts up with the endless hours I spend hunched over the keyboard, letting my characters play.
I have to say, Oregon's raindrops are the perfect setting in which to write my slightly twisted tails. There's something about being cooped up in the house while it pours rain outside, a fire crackles on the hearth inside, and a cup of hot coffee warms my hands that kindles my imagination.
The intricate and fragile nature of the mind is always fascinating. Having worked with the public through various careers, I've come to respect the resilience and strength of the human spirit. I'm always trying to capture that spirit in my writing.
Currently I work as a floral designer in a locally owned gift shop, which is the perfect job for me. When not writing, I can express myself through the rich colors and textures of flowers and foliage.
My first publication was Shelton in Love from Breathless Press, released May 13th, 2011.
Doris O’Connor: Glutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris... at least that's what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler and lives happily in a far too small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.

There is always something better to do after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet and besides, sleep is for wimps.

She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F, and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.
S.J. Thomas: I believe in love at first sight and instant attraction. I love strong possessive alpha males and the feisty heroines (or heroes!) who bring them to their knees. I read, write and breathe paranormal romance and erotica with occasional forays into paranormal horror and sci fi. Come find out more with excerpts from my writing together with some fun things on my Facebook Page www.facebook.com/sjthomaswpr or website.
Jamieson Wolf: Jamieson has been writing since a young age, when he realized he could be writing instead of paying attention in school.
Since then, he has created many worlds in which to experience his fantasies and live out his dreams. He is the author of many best-selling works including Cupid's Delight, Starlight Starbright, and The Awakening. His best-selling Hard Series includes Hard, Hardening, Harder, Hard Glory and Hardest.
He currently lives in Ottawa, Ontario with his his cat, Mave, who thinks she's people.

Cover Reveal Always and Foreverland by Rachael Wade

Thursday, May 2, 2013
Title: Always and Foreverland 
Author: Rachael Wade
Genre: New Adult Romance 
Publisher: Rabbit Hole Press
Expected Release Date: Feb 14 2014
Not long ago, Micah and Trinity were the same. They shared the same past and the same secrets, and they knew just how to help each other endure the rough hand they’d been dealt. Some kids grew up in loving homes, with kind families and boundless compassion. But Micah and Trinity weren’t so lucky. Growing up in foster care with no place to call home, they swore they’d be there for one another, always.

Now they’re back in each other’s lives, but the reunion is less than sweet. When Trinity stumbles onto the same college campus as Micah, she realizes her memories with him were and still are a life raft, but according to Micah, those memories never even happened. He’s no longer that sweet teenage boy who defended her and held her when she was scared. Now he’s the campus playboy with only three things on his mind: women, parties, and when he can score his next adrenaline rush. He refuses to acknowledge the truth.

Once upon a time, they dreamt of Foreverland.

Once upon a time, they were friends.

Once upon a time, they were more.

But that was then, and this is now, and no one knows that "once upon a time" doesn’t always lead to "happily ever after" more than two kids who’ve had to say goodbye too many times to count.
