The
Dragon in the Garden
The
Watcher Rising Series #1
by
Erika Gardner
Genre:
Epic Urban Fantasy
There
is magic beneath the mundane and in The Dragon in the Garden, Siobhan
Orsini witnesses it all. No lie can fool her, no glamour or illusion
can cloud her Sight. She sees through them all and wishes she could
close her eyes. Returning to face her past, Siobhan inherits her
grandparents’ house in California’s wine country. She encounters
a talking dragon, a hot fallen angel, a demon lord, a Valkyrie, and,
oh yes, her ex-boyfriend. And that is just in the first twenty-four
hours.
It’s
time to find out why she has this power.
Siobhan
seeks out the Oracle and learns that only her Sight can help mankind
navigate the travails of an ancient war. Our world is the prize in a
battle between the dragons, who would defend us, and Lucifer’s
fallen angels, who seek to take the Earth for themselves. Using her
gift, she will have to make a choice that will decide humanity’s
future.

By
Kristi M Turner
Genre:
YA Contemporary Fiction

is an 18-year-old, juvenile delinquent who desperately wants to take
control of her life but must find a way to overcome her own
self-sabotage and a judge who will not easily let her escape her
past. She keeps food on her plate and clothes on her back by
stealing. It is far from the life she wants, but she has known little
kindness in her life and, therefore, gives little back. When Judge
Newton charges her for the first time as an adult, Nicole recognizes
a separating path. She can stay on her path to destruction or she can
accept the unexpected generosity of the Kutcher family, whose house
she is charged with burglarizing.
Child

her anger and build back the self-worth she lost when her father
abandoned her to a drunken uncle after her mother’s death.
Along

affluent young man with whom she begins an often overwhelming love
affair despite the conflicts their disparate pasts bring.

The Selenium Night Tour and Giveaway!
Selenium
Night
by
Kharma Kelley
Genre:
Paranormal Werewolf Shifter Romance
ShadowShifters
- Shapeshifting wolf creatures that love as fiercely as they
fight.
Aidan
Bloodlocke never dreamed he was a wolf Shifter, much less an Alpha.
When a pack takes him in, his entire world changes, and loyalties are
developed. Then disaster strikes, and he’s on a ruthless mission
for justice.
When
veterinarian Maddie Ardelle moved to Bridgepoint, Maine, to start a
normal, peaceful life on her own, she didn’t expect to get herself
caught in the crossfire of two factions of violent, feuding
werewolves. And definitely not entangled with a sexy biker shifter
that made her weak in the knees. Against their will, Maddie and
Aidan’s worlds collide, and with an attraction so enthralling, both
are helpless to resist.
As
Aidan struggles to fight for both love and duty, he uncovers a
betrayal so heinous, it puts the lives of his entire pack and the
brave woman he desires at unthinkable risk. The stakes are high, and
both must decide if Maddie ultimately can live in his violent world
of teeth and claw in this action-packed paranormal romance series!
A
Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy author, Kharma Kelley has been
enamored with all things that go "bump in the night" for
who knows how long. She truly believes that finding humanity and
beauty in some of the most seemingly unconventional places is part of
the romantic psyche to her. A big fan of the Big Easy, Kharma tends
to weave her proud Cajun heritage and values into her books. She
enjoys reading other urban fantasy and romance novels and playing
Minecraft in her spare time.
"Tall,
Dark & Deadly" is the first book of her "Agents of The
Bureau" series. Expect more sexy, dangerous and even hilarious
installments to be released along with a new "ShadowShifter"
series coming in 2017.
She
frequents Wattpad (which she refers to as a story "incubator")
often and beta tests her new story ideas there as well as provide
guidance and critiques to aspiring authors.
Her
works are often compared to Laurell K. Hamilton, Sherrilyn Kenyon,
Gena Showalter, Kresley Cole and the late great author, L.A.
Banks.
Quote
from Kharma Kelley on writing Paranormal Romance:
"There's
something intriguing about strong women finding love in all the
"wrong" places in the world of fantasy. Of angels, demons,
ghosts, werewolves and your occasional blood sucker, all these
paranormal metaphors are catalysts of what humans are and crave
most...that we're all different, beautiful and a little bit
weird--and just want someone to love us for who we are."
She
lives in Texas with her husband.

The Toxic Desire Tour and Giveaway!
Toxic
Desire
by
Ellie Douglas
Genre:
Thriller
Imagine
waking up from a blackout, your memory betraying you as to where you
have been or what you have done. This is what happens to beautiful
and sexy, 24 year old, Annabelle Worthington.
Growing
up, Annabelle’s life was anything but normal. Living with loveless
parents, she was subjected to unimaginable abuse and torture at the
hands of those who should have protected her. Her saving grace was
her relationship with Ivy and Eva.
As
an adult, she met Brett Campbell and finally her world became filled
with the happiness, stability and love that she had never known. Then
something unthinkable happens that destroys her idyllic life and
fills her with rage. Annabelle’s blackouts increase and memories of
her abusive childhood threatens to imprison her.
When
Ivy and Eva comes back into her life, Annabelle elicits their help to
rid the world of all cheating bastards.
Is
there anything that can stop them before they wreak havoc on
California? Which of them really poses the most danger to those who
least expect it?
How
many lives will be lost because of sexual desires and memories from
the past?
I’m
Ellie Douglas, and like you, I love horror, everything about horror,
the goriest and most gruesome of horrors is the ultimate. I can’t
get enough. So much so that I write horror. That need to be graphic,
and explicit with my horror scenes makes me stand out. I give what I
want to read to others, so now they can enjoy a true horror
story.
I’m
not all about just being graphic, I also build characters that the
readers will love and or hate, so they can feel pulled right inside
of the story that they are reading. It gives me so much enjoyment
when I hear remarks like, ‘You made me want to puke,’ ‘I have
nightmares every damned night –thanks,’ and ‘Quentin Tarantino
and Steven King made a baby, YOU!’ when I hear comments like that,
I know then I’ve succeeded, that also pushes me into writing more
and becoming even better.
I’m
fun loving, generous and very mysterious. I enjoy spending time with
my family, and have four children to keep the horror writing alive. I
enjoy helping others and volunteer my services to help Autistic
children, I love cosplay and the chance to dress up as a monster,
zombie or some other gritty character is fun, oh so much fun.
I
love summer, and well…I hate winter. I live in New Zealand and feel
often too far away from all the cool stuff going on in the world. I
love helping people all the time. I’ve got my hands dipped in a few
things, I write books, but I also make professional book covers for
other authors, I also create adult coloring books and I have a
gambling app that I designed on the apple store :) I’ve always got
a project going, be it writing or creating, that is who I am and I
love it :)
My
ultimate aim is to give back, paying it forward, to constantly better
myself and give the audience amazing stories. Let me scare
you…

How to make a paper tray box
Scissors
Glue
Any colour piece of construction paper.
You want to make sure your paper is on the horizontal to start , the cuts need to be made on the horizontal.
And then you make 4 small cuts
in each corner go down 2 inches and then cut into horizontal 3 inches, do that in each corner and you will have 4 flaps
I do at this time fold the flaps on the horizontal to make the box for easier , just more for a guideline when you go to fold the flaps in
I fold both sides up picture is just a visual .
Now fold your box .
Fold each flap into the side piece, glue them in place for support .
You are left with flaps, just fold them over first so you have the crease , then glue along this piece as well and fold over to finish your paper box tray.
And.. voila simple and easy to make . You can manipulate the sizing , to make many different sizes , as you can see from my top photo. Just remember to cut along the horizontal .
