Enchanted Revenge
Empyrean Chronicles # 1
By- Theresa M. Jones
Genre- YA Fantasy


When seventeen year old Lily finds her parents brutally murdered, leaving her broken and alone, she is determined to bring justice to the fairies responsible. Her quest leads her to infiltrate The Empyrean, the land of the Fae where terrifying creatures lurk in every shadow. But with a political rebellion mounting, bloody battles and foreign enemies stand in her way. Alec, a mysterious and secretive fairy, gradually becomes her guide and dear friend in the unfamiliar world, and restores her faith in love.

Disturbing secrets about her parent’s true identity are revealed, causing her to be more involved with the devastating fairy war than she can afford. Her vengeful mission becomes compromised and her growing romance with Alec wavers. She must conquer her fear of the unknown, ignore her grief, and overcome her growing list of enemies if she is to succeed in avenging her parents’ death. Or ever make it out alive. 


Enchanted Revenge will appeal to fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Julie Kagawa.

 

Book 2, Enticing Violence, will be available on November 2nd, you can pre-order your copy now!


Author Interview-

What inspired you to write Enchanted Revenge?

Well, I was supposed to be writing the final installment of my Paranormal Romance series. But I kept thinking about Lily. (who at the time, hadn’t been named) And the more I thought about writing, the less I thought about my other series, and the more defined did the Empyrean become. Alec grew on me. And Lily’s thoughts and fears kept shouting at me to be written down.

Really, it all started because I like reading YA. I like fairies, though I hadnt read a fairy book that I really liked in a long time. And I wanted to write something DIFFERENT about fairies.


When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?

I wrote my first book when I was in third grade, by filling up a 250 page spiral notebook. I dont remember now what it was about, and I lost it in a move several years ago. But I guess, I could say, since I was in third grade.

What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?

Wow, maybe third grade.
I dont know. I remember I read a lot when I was 12. But I dont really remember what all I read. I remember when I started reading this Amelia Atwater-Rhodes book, and I thought it was so cool, because she published her first book when she was 13!

What genre of books do you enjoy reading?

YA! Paranormal Romance. Urban Fantasy. Middle Grade. NA. Chick lit.

What is your favorite book?

I have no idea. There is absolutely NO way for me to decide on only one book to be my favorite.

You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?

I love a LOT of authors. For different reasons each. But probably my favorite, if I really had to choose only one, would be Jennifer L Armentrout. Because, not only does she write AWESOME books, but she write for different age groups (YA, NA, and Adult) and she write in different genres (Romance, Paranormal, Fantasy, Contemporary) But she writes FAST. So, as a reader she's awesome, because she puts out a LOT of GREAT books, but as a writer, she's an inspiration.

If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place or time. Where would you go and why?

I like now. I might like to see the future, and try to change it. But I wouldn't want to change the past, because of how it would ripple out and affect my time. I think I’d be too scared to see the past. It was brutal and violent. And women were always treated horribly. If there was a group of Amazon women ever, then I’d want to go there and at that time.

When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?

Depends on what I’m writing and how situated my head is. Sometimes I write super fast and it flows out so easily. But sometimes it definitely is a struggle.

For example, when I wrote Enchanted Revenge, I wrote almost the entire first draft (76,000 words in ONE month) Thats fast and it was effortless. (Until the editing started...lol)
But right now I feel like I should be working on the third Empyrean Chronicles book (the second is going to be published Nov 2, 2015). But I don't want to write it right now. What little I’ve written on it has been a struggle. What I want to write is a new Middle Grade novel. And when I’m writing that, its flowing easily.

So, it depends.

Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

I have a dog - half labrador and half blue heeler- named Belle. She is still a puppy, though she is WAY too big and does NOT look like a puppy anymore. She jumps way too much, and scares my kids still, even though she just wants to lick them and play. :(
I also have a cat named Mickey, who everyone loves unconditionally. even though he purposely terrorizes the kids. Ironic, I know.

What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?

Chocolate. Thats it. Just chocolate.

Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?

Read a lot. And write, even when you dont feel like it, and even when you dont want to.

Blood Moon (SMVS, #5.5) by J.L. McCoy
Numb…I was numb. I didn’t know where I was being taken, but I didn’t much care at the moment. I was far away from the horrors the last five days had afforded me and anything was better than that…than them. Bruised, bloodied, beat to shit, and my soul utterly crushed, I walked away from that middle-of-nowhere airstrip in Podunk Purgatory a complete shell of the person I once was. I had experienced hell on earth and was shocked I’d lived through it. The things those monsters did to me…well, I was sure I’d have nightmares about my first night in captivity for the rest of my life. Certain experiences can change a person and I knew without a doubt that I would never be the same again. You could only take so much away from a person before there wasn’t anything worthwhile left.

Summary from Goodreads:


The living crystals that feed elemental power to Atlantis are exhausted. They give and give, but the Altantians just want more energy to fuel their magical city. Sixteen years ago, the crystals came up with a plan to make it all stop, a plan that revolves around three teens:

KALIOPE is a soulsinger, an empath with the power to sing the souls of the dead to their next lives. She just wants to grow up, but her mother won't let her.

DANICA is Kaliope's whipping girl. She gets punished whenever Kali disobeys.

CHIARAN is a firestarter, so reckless even his family considers him a monster.

When Chiaran arrives in Atlantis, he's the first fire person to set foot on the island in a hundred years. Kaliope naturally considers him an enemy and uses the last of her depleted power against him. But the battle reveals that the two have more in common than anyone could have guessed.

Anyone, that is, except the crystals.

Three teenage antiheroes, a bisexual love triangle, and an island about to sink.

Overwhelm is a darkly sensual fairy tale about growing up against all odds.

Release Day Blitz: The Finn Factor by Rachel Bailey @RachelBaileyAus @EPEmbrace @YABoundToursPR #YABOUNDBOOKTOURS #Giveaway





The Finn Factor
Release Date: 09/28/15
Entangled Embrace

Summary from Goodreads:

A new adult romance from Entangled's Embrace imprint...

Sometimes all a girl needs is a little practice...

It's been twelve months, three days, and eleven hours since accounting student Scarlett Logan made it past a second date. A pitcher of mojitos in hand, she employs her supreme graphing skills to narrow things down to one horrifying explanation. Kissing. Clearly someone needs to teach her how to kiss properly. Like, say, her best friend and roomie, Finn Mackenzie. He's safe, he's convenient, and yeah, maybe just a little gorgeous.

Finn knows exactly why Scarlett's boyfriends are disappearing quickly. Him. Not a single guy she's brought home is nearly good enough. And he'll be damned if he lets some loser give her "kissing lessons." No. He'll do the honors, thank you very much. The moment their lips touch, though, everything turns upside down. But Scarlett deserves the one thing Finn can't give her. And if he doesn't put an end to the sexy little shenanigans, he'll teach Scarlett the hardest lesson of all...heartbreak.

Excerpt:


“I haven’t forgotten we kissed, obviously, but I can’t remember details, like what the most effective elements were.”

I shifted in my seat. Every second of that kiss was burned into my memory bank. It seemed that hadn’t been as mutual as I’d suspected. I blew out a breath and focused on being a teacher in the situation, not a man who’d been carried away with his own lesson.

“I think you’re over-analyzing this. The elements don’t matter on their own. It’s more about the big picture.”

“Would you say that to your undergrads? Don’t worry about the specifics of the aqueducts, or which emperor came to power in what year. It’s more about the big picture of knowing there was a Roman Empire?”

“Well, no, but it’s completely different,” I said, looking down the hall and wondering if I could escape the conversation by simply leaving.

“How?” she persisted. “In both cases, you’re teaching something. So the student needs the topic broken down into bite-size pieces.”

At the word “bite” all the air left the room. Scarlett must have interpreted my silence to be disbelief because she grabbed a pen and a sheet of paper.

“Here.” She smoothed it out on the coffee table in front of us. “I’ll graph it for you.”

That snapped me back. “You’re going to graph our kiss?”

She drew an X and Y axis, then a line that went up across the page, but not smoothly—there were spikes and bumps along its progress.

“So, here, for example”—she pointed to a sharp rise in the line—“you did something and the kiss took off. What was it?”

“Seriously?” She wanted to talk as if it had been a clinical experience?

“If this had been a kiss for kissing’s sake, then, sure, we could leave it alone. But it was a lesson. How am I supposed to learn if I don’t remember the stimulus that caused the response?”

“You don’t need to. You were great. There’s nothing more to learn.” Better than great. Her kissing had been phenomenal.

“Again, if an undergrad wanted to learn more about the Roman Empire than they needed to for the first-year exam, would you tell them they were fine, or would you point them to more resource material?”

I blinked. “I’m resource material?”

She threw her hands up in the air, as if she was the one who was exasperated. “You’re the one who offered the lesson in the first place, so yes. You are my resource material on kissing.”

I looked over at the array of empty beer bottles on the coffee table. “We really need to make it a rule that we don’t talk about kissing after we’ve been drinking.”

“You’d rather have this conversation stone-cold sober?”

“I’d rather not have this conversation at all.”

“Oh.” Her face fell.

“What?” I asked warily.

“It’s just occurred to me that although I thought the kiss was good, you might not have enjoyed it at all. That’s why you’re fighting so hard against a follow up lesson.” She scrunched up her nose. “It was awful for you.”

I rubbed my temples—I was getting a headache trying to keep up with her thought processes and keep us out of dangerous territory.

“It wasn’t awful.” Amazing would be closer.

“Then why are you so against a follow-up lesson so I can focus on the bits I’ve forgotten?”

Something in the way she said “forgotten” made everything inside me rear up and protest. Maybe it was vanity, maybe it was neediness, but whatever it was, I didn’t want to be considered a forgettable kisser. Especially by Scarlett.

My gaze zeroed in on her mouth as I wrapped an arm around her and tugged her closer, but not quite touching. Her eyes widened and her pink tongue darted out to moisten her lips. I groaned.


“See if you can forget this,” I said, and lowered my head.


About the Author
As a teenager, I was a voracious reader of science fiction, until one day when I was 16, I saw Pride and Prejudice on television. The old version with Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson. I adored it. I’d seen it in the TV guide and, since I had a crush on Laurence Olivier after seeing him in Henry V, I’d taped it.
I watched that tape so often I can still recite most of the dialogue by heart. I sought out the book, devoured it, then found every other Jane Austen book and read and reread them frequently. I only discovered romance as a genre as an adult. Imagine my delight when I first read modern versions of Jane Austen!

Now I read most subgenres of romance, from category to historical to romantic comedy. Such a banquet!
