Guest Blog and Giveaway with Robin Bielman

Hi everyone! It’s such a pleasure to be a guest here today on The Creatively Green Write At Home Mom. Thanks so much for having me, Wenona! We have lots in common. I’m a mom, a writer, and I do try to be green as much as I can.

In fact, when coming up with my heroes for my Take a Risk series from Entangled Publishing, I fell in love with the idea of having my guys be passionate about the environment. And so, my heritage preservationists were born. Keats McCall, the hero in my newest release, Risky Surrender, is the hotshot president of field operations for the largest international non-profit organization dedicated to preserving historic sites. He’s a do-good humanitarian, believes in his work one hundred percent, and loves outdoor adventures. He’ll risk just about anything for something—or someone—he believes in.

McCall travels the globe, is fearless and driven to feel. When he meets Lucy Davenport, he definitely feels something, and soon the lines blur between safeguarding a piece of history and protecting the woman he’s falling for. I hope readers fall head over heels for McCall as much as I have. In fact, I think there are plenty of reasons to adore historic preservationists…

1)    They like to get dirty. (And I don’t mean just outdoors.)

2)    They push the boundaries. These guys don’t play it safe…anywhere.

3)    Following along on their adventures could lead you to places you’ve only dreamed about.

4)    They go where the action is.

5)    Green is their favorite M&M candies color.

6)    They work well with their hands.

7)    They have an appreciation for how things are built.

8)    They like to do it in exotic locales.

So there you have it, my reasons to get hooked on heritage preservationists. They sound pretty irresistible, don’t they? hee hee I had a blast writing McCall and Lucy’s story and continuing my series into the world of heritage protection and I’d love to hear from you all. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be?

Keats McCall is an environmental preservationist navigating the globe on behalf of heritage protection. When he catches Lucy at his latest project, he suspects she's up to something. She secretive, sexy as hell—and has trouble written all over her. He devises a plan to keep her close so he can keep an eye on her. But what he isn’t prepared for is just how close he wants to get.

Interview with Husband and Wife Writing Duo HR Jackson

Please share a little bit about yourself, your genres, any other pen names you use.

               Where to start? Well, we’re a husband/wife collaborative team, married for over a decade, and currently residing in Seattle after we’d finally had our fill of South Texas heat. We’ve both been writing independently for years, but most of the work is unpublished, so no other pen names at present. We don’t have any kids yet, not for lack of trying, but we are owned by four cats and one fish. Our preferred genres include Urban Fantasy, Mythology, Action/Adventure, and Romance.

Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming release.

               Well, our current release, Hand of Time, is book 2 of The Nemesis Chronicles series. Book one, Minutes to Midnight, came out last year and has been pretty successful so far. This novel is the continuation of the saga of Dirk, the Viking, and Morgan, the Amazon in an alternative version of modern day Vegas. We expanded out the world a bit more from the first book, giving readers a chance to see the world of the NC through different venues. We explore more of the relationship between our two protagonists (the story is told in first POV, alternating by chapter between Dirk and Morgan), as well as their relationships with the Nemesis group.

               We get a little deeper into the threats that face not only our main characters, but also the world of Mythics at large, especially in terms of Society involvement. Mythics are beings of legend and myth, possessing powerful abilities, who have an uneasy truce with the humans of the NC world, living among them, mostly hiding their true selves to keep the peace. The Society For The Betterment of Humanity is a group of scientists and zealots who feel the Mythics are abominations who must either be brought to heel or eradicated entirely.

Have you ever based your book or characters on actual events or people from your own life?

               Absolutely. I think, as a writer, it’s kind of hard not to. Some of the scenes are based off scenes we’ve run in RPG games. And a few of the characters, three at least, are based directly off people we know or knew. The relationship is closely based on our own relationship because it wasn’t exactly a smooth ride from the word go. Some of the conversations are based off of conversations we’ve actually had and both of the main characters share facets of our own personalities.

Is there a theme or message in your work that you would like readers to connect to?

               Have an open mind and think for yourself. Don’t let stereotypes determine who you are. Don’t let labels define you. You blaze your own path through this world.

When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?

               Mainly it boils down to video games, comics, reading, and cooking. We like to explore the city, taking in the sights and finding new destinations. We’d love to travel more, both of us having spent time outside of the US, but lately, any vacation we take is to visit our families. We’re both cinephiles, but we also really enjoy going to live performances of ballet and concerts and such.

If this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?

               We don’t have a title for book 3 yet, although we’ve been brainstorming a few ideas. But it will be more of a blending of the first two books, because by that point, everyone should be on the same page about where the characters are headed and what they’re up to, so lots of action, lots of introspection, and a lot of the questions that have cropped up from the first two books will be answered. It’ll expand the world significantly, showing off different planes and cities that have thus far only been mentioned in passing. Relationships between the characters will all be tested and deepened, and new characters brought into the mix that will be the source of those tests. It also wraps up this cycle of the overall arc, leading into the next trilogy cycle. Very exciting stuff!

What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled upcoming releases or works in progress?

               Aside from the third book, there’s only one other project in the works and it’s about halfway done. It takes place outside of the world we’ve built for the Nemesis Chronicles and it’s closer to modern day, but it has the added intrigue of heroes and villains who are more reminiscent of what you find in comics. No slated release date for that one, but we’re hoping sometime before next year.

Morgan... Three months after the events of Vegas turned her life upside down, she's finding that getting back to normal is anything but easy.

Dirk... Trapped between juggling his new responsibilities and making Morgan understand his feelings, the former courtesan is discovering that letting go of the past is much harder when the past refuses to let go of him.

Nemesis... Still reeling from the Society's attack, they find themselves facing a familiar foe and a new menace hellbent on testing their fortitude.

Midsummer madness heats up Nemesis Island. It's a time of celebration and renewal, but the Society has other plans... with Dirk, Morgan, and the rest of Nemesis at the top of their list.

About the Author:

Once upon a time, a man and a woman looked at each other and asked, “Why aren’t we writing this down?”

Inspired by Sci-Fi and Fantasy, with a healthy appreciation of all manner of geekery, they longed to create a world where sword, sorcery, and a little sprinkling of real life could come together. With this in mind, the pair sat down and started the stories that would eventually become The Nemesis Chronicles.

When they aren’t weaving fantastical tales, they spend their time being owned by the Feline Mafia and watching the rain fall in their home city of Seattle.

Interview and Giveaway with Lauren Harris Author of Exorcising Aaron Nguyen

Please share a little about yourself, your genres, any other pen names you use.

Hi, I’m Lauren Harris, but my closest friends call me Scribe because, once upon a time, I had neat handwriting. (Yeah, that changed in college.) I usually write epic and contemporary fantasy, but stepped outside my genre on EXORCISING AARON NGUYEN to tackle paranormal. I’m also the co-creator of Pendragon Variety: A Genre Writing Podcast, which is a set of all-female speculative fiction writers and librarians who participate in round table discussions about writing genre fiction. I don’t have any other pen-names, but I do voice act and narrate audiobooks, which has been a lot of fun.

Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming release.

EXORCISING AARON NGUYEN is the first in a paranormal comedy series called The Millroad Academy Exorcists, which follows catholic-boarding-school student Georgia Collins, an aspiring journalist who reluctantly solves paranormal crimes with her ghost-whispering crush, Hiroki.

The inspiration for Georgia came after one of my friends, the cover-model Sarah, said she was irritated by the fact that full-figured heroines tended only to be in stories where their weight was the obstacle. She wished there were more heroines who got to do the same cool, kick-butt things as all the others, and just happened to be plus-sized. I’d already come up with the idea for EAN, but I hadn’t come up with Georgia yet. When Sarah said that, I thought: there’s my MC.

Are you a mom?

I have a cat?

If yes do you find it hard to juggle writing and parenting?

Only when he climbs onto my keyboard and puts his butt in my face.

Have you ever based your book or characters on actual events or people from your own life?

Usually, no, but in Exorcising Aaron Nguyen, I totally stole the idea of Brother Whatawaste from my roommate. She was at her aunt’s wedding at a catholic church and her aunt said, “There goes Brother Whatawaste.” My roommate said, “Who’s brother Whatawaste?” Her aunt pointed out one of the monks, who was apparently Gucci-model gorgeous. “Oh,” she said. “Brother Whatawaste.”

The thought of putting a character like that in a catholic boarding school full of teenaged girls was too funny to resist. I did add my own spin by making him a good ol’ boy, though.

I rarely include characters and events from my life wholesale, especially since I usually write high fantasy.

Is there a theme or message in your work that you would like readers to connect to?

One of the underlying themes of the story is the strength that comes from friendship. I’m one of those people that has always tried to shrug off or ignore bad things people say about me, but the second someone insults my friend, I Hulk out.

What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

I don’t actually like ghost stories. I’m such a wuss… I can’t even watch some episodes of the X-Files or Supernatural without needing moral support. Seriously, I think I stayed awake for three months after watching The Sixth Sense. It’s bad, y’all.

When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?

As I said before, I do narration for audiobooks and voice-acting...but really, I am an unabashed geek. I play Dungeons and Dragons, I cosplay, I read a lot of speculative fiction, and I’ve spent a shameful amount of time just coming up with worlds and characters with my friends. I also love kayaking, geocaching, ballroom dancing, shopping for office supplies, and podcasting.

Which romance book or series (or other genre, if you don’t write romance) do you wish you had written?

...is it stereotypical to answer Harry Potter? If so, I want to be Jacqueline Carey when I grow up. If not, Harry Potter.

If this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?

This is book one of The Millroad Academy Exorcists, a series of four novellas that follow Georgia and her friends. The next novella is titled THE GIRL IN ACID PARK and deals with an actual urban legend near where my parents grew up. Georgia and the other characters are forced to deal with the backlash from the events in the first book, and things aren’t pretty.

What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled upcoming releases or works in progress?

Yes! My short story, The Incident of the Clockwork Mikoshi, will be appearing in the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences anthology Ministry Protocol: Thrilling Tales from the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences. The book is out in ebook format in early fall and in a limited paperback run by Christmas.

I’ve got a whole page dedicated to my works in progress, which are mostly fantasy novels at different stages of revision/completion.

What book are you reading now?

I’m in the middle of The Iron King by Julie Kagawa and a number of non-fiction books about linguistics, history, and personality-typing.

What is in your to read pile?

So much. Soooo much. The pile frightens me.

Exorcising Aaron Nguyen

Millroad Academy Exorcists novella series

Book One

Lauren Harris

Genre: Young Adult Paranormal

Publisher: Pendragon Press

Date of Publication: August 24, 2013

Number of pages: 107

Word Count: 23k

Cover Artist: Elyse Revelle

Book Description:

The murder of Millroad Catholic Academy's resident genius, Aaron Nguyen, shuts down student life at the boarding school in rural North Carolina...for about a week. With the resilience of youth, the student body bounces back, and the memory of murder is nothing but a streamer of caution tape fluttering in the breeze.

Unfortunately for them, Aaron's spirit has some resilience as well. Despite the priest's attempted exorcism, Aaron's ghost is soon breathing chills down the students' necks and hurling bunsen burners at nuns.

Georgia Collins doesn't give a shit about ghosts. All she wants is a story to prove her underground school news blog is more than a gossip column, closure on her one-sided relationship with her best friend Hiroki, and a vanilla latte. She wasn't expecting Aaron Nguyen's death to be anything more than a cold spot in the science hall, but since Hiroki has the curse of Spectral Sight, he is the only person who can see and speak to Aaron.

 As the ghost’s demands for attention become increasingly violent, Hiroki enlists Georgia to help him investigate the crime, claiming that Aaron isn’t likely to move on until his killers are caught. Still hoping for spontaneous romantic combustion, she agrees to help bring Aaron's murderers to justice and set the vengeful spirit free...but it's not quite the close encounter she's hoping for.

Interview and Giveaway with Lisa Suzanne Author of How He Really Feels

Please share a little about yourself, your genres, any other pen names you use.

I am a fulltime high school English teacher who has a passion for writing. I have been married for eight years and I have a dog – the world’s most adorable yellow lab. My writing began on yellow legal pads, but today, I sit on the middle cushion of my couch with my feet on my coffee table and my laptop on my lap. I write contemporary romance novels. 

Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming release.

My latest release is the first book in the He Feels Trilogy, titled How He Really Feels. Book two is scheduled for release October 3, and the title is What He Really Feels. 

What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

I didn’t have any beta readers before releasing my first novel.

When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?

I teach high school English, so when I’m not writing during the school year, I’m probably grading papers! My hobbies are traveling, shopping, and walking my dog with my hubby. My guilty pleasure is reality TV! I especially love the Bachelor and Bachelorette!

Of all the characters you’ve ever written, who is your favorite and why?

I have two. One is from my next series, and the other is Travis Miller from the He Feels Trilogy. How He Really Feels leaves Travis’s story hanging, and he has an amazing story to tell in the second book of this trilogy! A lot of people had a lot of things to say about Travis after reading the first book, and when I wrote his story, I fell for him more and more, and I hope you do, too!

What is in your to read pile?

My TBR is starting to get out of control… off the top of my head, I want to read Wallbanger by Alice Clayton, Tarryn Fisher’s Love Me With Lies Trilogy, Christina Lauren’s Beautiful Bastard series, Collide and Pulse by Gail McHugh, Lick by Kylie Scott, and anything by Colleen Hoover, S. C. Stephens, and Jamie McGuire. I just bought Burn by Maya Banks so I have the Breathless trilogy in paperback, but I haven’t started it yet because I’ve been editing What He Really Feels.

Interview and Giveaway with Robert Poulin

Please share a little about yourself, your genres, any other pen names you use.

I am a disability rights advocate and the Executive Director of the North Country Center for Independence in upstate New York. I've been legally blind since infancy, but this hasn't stopped me from achieving my goals thanks to a mom who taught me to be independent and hardworking. My first book is Wail of the Banshees, an urban fantasy ghost story. I am especially pleased to have been able to dedicate this book to my mom who is truly my hero.

Tell us a little about your latest or upcoming release.

In Wail of the Banshees, Veronika Kane, a twenty one year old college student is murdered in the first scene. Veronika lives on as a ghost and must find her way through a new world ruled by evil ghosts, where slavery and tyranny are the norm. At first, Veronika is obsessed with getting revenge on the man who killed her and undertakes a quest to help the Philadelphia Police Department capture the killer. After some personal failures and much suffering, Veronika leads a revolution to overthrow the evil Master of shadow Philly. Wail of the Banshees features thrilling action on a scale reminiscent of The Matrix.

When you’re not writing what do you do? Do you have any hobbies or guilty pleasures?

My first love during free time is reading. I love to read urban fantasy, science fiction, and epic fantasy. I also play video games and watch some TV. My favorite show is Sons of Anarchy, which I started watching for research on my third Ghost Wars Sage book. I am also a big tabletop RPG player and GM. I'm also a dog lover, our yellow lab died recently and we are currently looking for a new dog to join the family.

Is there a genre(s) that you’d like to write that you haven’t tackled yet?

I love steampunk and epic fantasy. I'd love to write in both genres in the future. I am currently in the early planning stages of a paranormal steampunk on Mars series that I'm tentatively calling Paranormal Frontiers.

Of all the characters you’ve ever written, who is your favorite and why?

Right now my favorite character that I've written is named Alric Soulheim. Alric makes an appearance in book two of the Ghost Wars Saga, Death Toll. He is a five centuries old troll, the king of his race who are facing extinction. In book three of Ghost Wars Saga, Echoes of Madness, Alric will be joining Veronika as a point of view character. I love Alric because he is a survivor who will do whatever he needs to do to save his people. Alric is a troll with a personal honor code but he isn't held back by societal morals. Alric will personally be challenged when true love enters his heart. Will doing anything to save his people come into conflict with friendship and love? Stay tunes.

Veronika Kane is pretty much tied with Alric for a spot in my heart. She is my first published protagonist, and she's personally impressive. Veronika is courageous and determined. She has a strong moral code and is stubborn. She's a great character.

If this book is part of a series…what is the next book? Any details you can share?

Book two of the Ghost Wars Saga is called Death Toll. Death Toll primarily takes part in the living city of Philadelphia and see Veronika team up with detective Frank Cooper, a wizard named Nathaniel Carter, and a were-ferret former CIA agent named Brianna Martin. Veronika and team are up against a cult that is trying to bring the Great Old Ones back into our world. The troll, Alric Soulheim will be making his first appearance, can anyone imagine a troll wielding the Liberty Bell as a melee weapon against fire giants? There's a free sample chapter of Death Toll in the back of all editions of Wail of the Banshees. Also, be sure to visit my tour stop on Fang-tastic.com on August 27th for the debut release of the 6,000 word prologue to Death Toll.

What is next for you? Do you have any scheduled upcoming releases or works in progress?

Death Toll will hopefully be ready for release by Christmas or by early spring 2014. I am hip deep in revision with my editor Jaimee Finnegan. I am also about fifteen percent through the first draft of Echoes of Madness, the third book in the Ghost Wars Saga.

What book are you reading now?

I just finished reading Seduced by Moonlight by Laurell K Hamilton a few day ago and I'm currently reading Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews. I'm a big fan of the Kate Daniels series.

What is in your to read pile?

I have the last three books of the Sign of the Zodiac series and two books of the Iron Druid Chronicles series to complete. I also have 2 books in the House of Night series and 3 in the Graywalker series to complete. I am also eagerly awaiting Jim Butcher's first steampunk novels. Also the sequel to Gods of Gotham should be out soon.

Short description

A murdered college student must help the Philadelphia Police Department track down the serial killer responsible for her death and then lead an improbable rebellion against the powers that be in the ghost realm of Limbo.

Extended description

My name is Veronika Kane and dying, dying was just the beginning.

How was I supposed to know that getting smashed on my 21st birthday would lead me to becoming the 9th victim of a serial killer that’s been stalking Philadelphia’s streets for months? Now I’m a ghost and unlife is pretty scary. Reapers, wraiths, ghouls, gargoyles: all of the monsters that I thought were storybook characters are real! On top of it all, the powers that be in the ghost world want to enslave me and use me in their own diabolical plot to manipulate the people of the living world. Too bad I didn’t turn out to be the kind of ghost they wanted me to be, and I’m not about to let them turn me into one of their puppets. These ghosts are responsible for my murder and the murders of eight other women.

A rebellion is coming, and the ghosts that run this place are about to find out just how big a mistake they made when they had me killed.

My name is Veronika Kane and being murdered isn't the end of my story.

Wail of the Banshees is an Urban Fantasy Novel and the first book in the exciting Ghost Wars saga which features paranormal horror and action set in living Philadelphia and the ghostly world of Limbo.

Robert has been legally blind since infancy, but thanks to a mom that encouraged independence, hard work, and a healthy dose of dreaming, the disability has mostly just been an inconvenience. Robert is currently in the editorial process with his second novel, Death Toll, and is writing Echoes of Madness the third novel in the Veronika Kane saga.
