Laura Bickle presents NINE OF STARS
Author Guest / December 30, 2016

From critically acclaimed author Laura Bickle (DARK ALCHEMY) comes the first novel in the Wildlands series, NINE OF STARS. Longmire meets Patricia Brigg’s Mercy Thompson in this exciting new series that shows how weird and wonderful the West can truly be. Winter has always been a deadly season in Temperance, but this time, there’s more to fear than just the cold… As the daughter of an alchemist, Petra Dee has faced all manner of occult horrors – especially since her arrival in the small town of Temperance, Wyoming. But she can’t explain the creature now stalking the backcountry of Yellowstone, butchering wolves and leaving only their skins behind in the snow. Rumors surface of the return of Skinflint Jack, a nineteenth-century wraith that kills in fulfillment of an ancient bargain. The new sheriff in town, Owen Rutherford, isn’t helping matters. He’s a dangerously haunted man on the trail of both an unsolved case and a fresh kill – a bizarre murder leading him right to Petra’s partner Gabriel. And while Gabe once had little to fear from the mortal world, he’s all too human now. This time, when violence hits close to home, there are no magical solutions. It’s up…

But the three O’Halloran brothers, who run a bush-plane charter service called Midnight Sons, are heading a campaign to bring women to town.

She’s the woman who tried to destroy his parents’ marriage.

WIND RIVER RANCHER, Book 2, Wind River Valley series, is an emotional story that will suck every reader in. I’m known for gritty, visceral and emotional writing, and this book is no exception. It just happened to catch the eye of Publisher’s Weekly and it received a ‘starred’ review (like winning an Oscar) on 12.3.16. This series I’m writing is about military vets returning home from combat from all over the world, mostly focused on the Middle East. Having been in the US Navy during the Vietnam War era (I served stateside as a weather forecaster at USNAS Moffett Field (now known as Silicon Valley) near San Francisco, California. I know PTSD because I’ve lived with it all my life. I came out a dysfunctional family where when I went to bed at night wondering if I’d wake up the next morning to see the dawn or not. When you live in that kind of violent, unstable environment for the first 18 years of your life, you are branded with such constant threat of death and physical violence, for the rest of your life. I didn’t even know I had PTSD until it surfaced and was defined with a specific…

A Special Sneak Peek! ON SECOND THOUGHT by Kristan Higgins Following in the footsteps of her critically acclaimed novel If You Only Knew, multi-bestselling author Kristan Higgins returns with a pitch-perfect look at the affection—and the acrimony—that binds sisters together Ainsley O’Leary is so ready to get married—she’s even found the engagement ring her boyfriend has stashed away. What she doesn’t anticipate is for Eric to blindside her with a tactless breakup he chronicles in a blog…which (of course) goes viral. Devastated and humiliated, Ainsley turns to her half sister, Kate, who’s already struggling after the sudden loss of her new husband. Kate has always been so poised, so self-assured, but Nathan’s death shatters everything she thought she knew—including her husband—and sometimes the people who step up aren’t the ones you expect. With seven years and a murky blended-family dynamic between them, Ainsley and Kate have never been overly close, but their shared sorrow dovetails their faltering worlds into one. Despite the lifetime of history between them, the sisters must learn to put their differences aside and open their hearts to the inevitable imperfection of family—and the possibility of one day finding love again.

Top FIVE Questions People Have About ME!
Author Guest / December 21, 2016

Do you live off coffee and wine exclusively? Depends who you ask! My coffee and wine budget is more than our food allowance for a family of five. Don’t judge me…I much prefer to drink my calories. Unless pizza is set in front of me, then I forget the coffee and wine and go straight for the beer—preferably Dos Equis with lots of lime and salt. But seriously, the only thing I love more than coffee is wine. Especially an exquisite Sangiovese, Malbec, or Pinot Noir. I’m shameless, I know…does anyone need my shipping address too? Are you wearing contacts? Your eyes can’t be that blue! They are that blue—and I can’t explain why except our mailman was a handsome guy! Just kidding if you’re reading this, Mom. Yes, my eyes are this blue and my mom got exactly what she wanted, a girl with dark hair, fair skin, and icy blue eyes. Okay, she doesn’t describe them as icy but I like it. No, I haven’t worn colored contacts since 2001 and they were a lovely lavender color. Are you a nanny as well as a writer? That kids looks nothing like you! LOL! I’ve gotten this question not…
