Hi, I’m Lana Harper, author of the Witches of Thistle Grove series! In BACK IN A SPELL, Nina Blackmoore—one of the most powerful witches in town, as well as a successful lawyer by day—becomes entangled with normie Morty Gutierrez, the sexy, offbeat owner of the quirky Shamrock Cauldron bar. When Nina experiences a tremendous surge of her powers, and Morty suddenly begins developing magic himself, she’ll have to discover what mysterious force is binding them together—and what she’s willing to sacrifice to keep him in her life. This witchy pansexual romcom comes out on 1/3/2023, but you can read a little more about it below!    B—B is for Blackmoore, the most powerful, entitled, and ruthless witch family in Thistle Grove—and the family Nina has felt stifled and damaged by her entire life. A—A is for adrift, which is how Nina still feels a year after having been all but ditched at the altar by her fiancée, Sydney. C—C is for Christmas (or Yule for witches) because this story is the Thistle Grove spin on a Christmas romance! K—K is for kryptonite… which is what Mortimer Gutierrez feels like for Nina, once she starts falling for him.   I—I is…

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present S.L. Choi!   Writes: Urban fantasy featuring high-octane action scenes, steamy romance, and loads of humor served up by a kick butt female lead who can match any alpha energy, such as Malaney “Lane” Callaghan, the FMC of the Blood Fae Druid series. She has fangs and talons, but the girl loves her blades, and she knows how to use them.   About: S.L. Choi is an urban fantasy author with a deep love for humor, fast-paced action, and hit-you-in-the-heart feels. She grew up imagining goblins living in the rocks outside her bedroom window, while fairies flew through the flowers. Now she puts those stories to paper. When not writing, she is either photographing the beautiful New England area, hiking, gaming with her equally nerdy husband, or attending to the small furry overlords who rule them both.   The reader who will swipe right on the second book in the Blood Fae Druid series, BAD GIRLS BITE, will love… fae like you’ve never seen…

Bouthier had been busy setting up in the hotel room all morn­ing so when there was some unexpected downtime, he de­cided to try to squeeze in a quick workout. The hotel gym was downstairs off the lobby and even before he fully pulled open its glass door, he saw without surprise that it was tiny and complete shit. The only good thing about it was that its sole occupant, some pudgy thirty-something insurance-salesman-type on the exer­cise bike, immediately put on the brakes and began gathering up his stuff the split second Bouthier peeled off his shirt. It wasn’t surprising. Six foot and hard bodied with dark pitbull-like eyes, doorway-filling shoulders and a slab of a face that looked like it had been squared into shape with a bricklayer’s crack hammer, Bouthier rarely found social distancing to be too much of a problem.   “Before,” he said as he tracked the soft bubble butt’s hasty exit in the wall mirror. “After,” he said with a gruesome smile as he popped a rock-hard front f lex. He looked around. Without anything real to lift, he decided to do some CrossFit. Burpees, renegade rows, jumping lunges then some dumbbell thrusters with the pathetic…

My bestselling K-9 Alaska series happened by accident. When my editor asked me if I’d write a book featuring a hunky hero and a dog, I thought, “why not?” But it had to be different. If I was going to feature a K-9 in a key role, I wanted it to be one that wasn’t seen all the time. So, I started researching. What I discovered were Combat Tracker dogs, specially trained K-9s who can actually track back from the site of an explosion to the person who set the bomb. And I knew I had my story. Colter Hayes, a wounded and grieving ex-Marine, and his Combat Tracker dog Rebel, are hiding away from the world. I put them in the remote town of Desparre, Alaska, a place with a small population where people come to disappear. So, of course, that’s where I also sent my heroine, Kensie Morgan, in search of the sister who’s been missing since Kensie was a child. That first book, K-9 Defense, was meant to be a standalone story. But before I even finished writing it, I knew I wanted to write more. Alaska Mountain Rescue, the story of Kensie’s long lost sister Alanna…

Quirky, Funny, Caring 6–What’s something you learned while writing this book? That even if you think the edits will go on forever, they’re eventually done 🙂 7–Do you edit as you draft or wait until you are totally done? I wait until I’m done with a few chapters, then do an initial edit. If I take time to edit as I write, I’m afraid I’ll lose my momentum and train of thought for my story….

1–What is the title of your latest release? REEF ROAD 2–What’s the “elevator pitch” for your new book? When a severed hand washes ashore in the wealthy enclave of Palm Beach, Florida, the lives of two women—a lonely writer obsessed with the unsolved murder of her mother’s best friend and a frantic wife whose husband has disappeared with their children—collide as the world shutters in the pandemic lockdown of 2020. 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? I happened to be in Palm Beach when the pandemic hit in March 2020. So as the world was closing down around me—around all of us—I decided to do two things: one was to finally research the real-life murder of my mother’s best friend, and two, was to write a book about it and set it exactly where I was sheltering in place. 4–Would you hang out with your protagonist in real life? Now that is a fine question! People always ask me if my protagonists are me. The answer is they are and they aren’t. Like the actress I used to be, I always use bits of myself in each character. But would I hang out with…
