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 Heather McCorkle!   Writes: Hi potential readers! Thanks for checking me out. I write urban fantasy about Viking-descended werewolves with booty-kicking female main characters and the alpha males who love them. My Children of Fenrir (1 novella and three books out) and Shifters Seeker (1 novella out and the first novel in the series coming August 30th, 2022!) series are based around a small town in Montana where the entire population is werewolves, but there are all kinds of shifters and other supernatural beings in my novels. As you might imagine with the Viking theme, my books are steeped in Norse mythology, but they include Native American lore as well. My characters are quirky, tormented, funny, and charming. The novels are spicy and include themes of found family and overcoming both internal and external obstacles.   About: As a native Oregonian, I enjoy the outdoors as much as the worlds I create on the page. I love reading, writing, making silly Tiktok videos and…

After being murdered by her jerk cousin, she’s been left to haunt her family’s estate. Unseen. Unheard. Ignored.

With them comes Kieran Aspen, a half-death fae, half-vampire former torturer, who can see her. And hear her. Her world gets turned upside down as a result… 3–How did you decide where your book was going to take place? When I was invited to participate in the Immortal Vices and Virtues shared world series by Kel Carpenter, I blithely said “I want to write a ghost romance!”.

Although I might confiscate all the knives and pointy things first. 5–What are three words that describe your protagonist? Haunt Me is told through dual perspectives.

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 N.J. Walters!   Writes: Paranormal romance has captivated me for years.

I have a weakness for the wounded hero. That holds true in my latest release WOLF IN THE NIGHT. Werewolf Dmitri Gribkov wants no part of his father’s revenge. A loner by choice, nothing has prepared him for sexy, stubborn Emma. He’ll do whatever it takes to protect her—even if it means losing her.   About: Tea drinker, chocaholic, book junkie N.J.

Even though there are a gazillion or so paranormal romances out there nowadays, it still surprises me when I read stories about supernatural beings that work a regular job or are some type of performer. Stereotypes can be a hard thing to shake. Part of me still expects a vampire to have a castle and be shrouded in shadows and be all dark and mysterious. The books I’m going to discuss here are full of vampires, orcs, demons, and all kinds of paranormal hotties who would be amazing to have as a showstopper at any party. The first paranormal romance I remember reading was DARK PRINCE by Christine Feehan. I can think of a few characters from her Carpathian series who would make my list for must-have entertainment. I know, I know. These two series have different versions of “vampires”, but I think it would be cool to have Savannah from DARK MAGIC by Christine Feehan perform her magic act for Laurell K. Hamilton’s Circus of the Damned. Of course, her honey Gregori wouldn’t be thrilled about having her around all that paranormal eye-candy. Four bands that would make an electric musical combo would be the Dark Troubadours from DARK…
