Caswell Convict (Caswell Lion Pride, Book 1)

Tell us a little bit about it!

Caswell Convict is an adult paranormal lion shifter romance. Maddie is a mind healer and the therapist assigned to one sexy VIP lion shifter who committed murder. He’s also totally off limits… Really though, he is!

If you like swoon-worthy males, heroines with feminine strength, an engaging plot, satisfying relationships, steamy love stories, and happy ever afters, then you’ll want to immerse yourself in the Caswell Lion Pride!

What's your main character like?

Maddie is strong and sassy. She’s also a mind healer and the therapist assigned to one sexy VIP lion shifter who’s totally off limits. She’s a respectable mind healer who’s doing her best to abide by the Healer Code Of Ethics but the damn alpha male lion keeps pawing at her like she’s his prey.

Is it part of a bigger series or world?

Caswell Convict is the first book in the Caswell Lion Pride series but it is a part of a bigger world first introduced in Calypso’s Heart, Orion’s Order book 1. In fact, Clyde (hero in Caswell Convict) is a part of Rhyker’s Key (Orion’s Order book 2). 


Is there anything else you want to tell us about your book in Midnight Magic?

Be prepared for a pride of sexy lions, a hilarious best friend, dating app antics, and can’t forget the steam! ;)

Water Witch


Tell us a little bit about it!

Is there anything else you want to tell us about your book in Midnight Magic?

Yes, the Witches in this series are elementals with their magic tying deeply to one or more elements (Water, Fire, Air, Earth).

Laura Greenwood

What's the title of your book in Midnight Magic?

Potion Making For Disastrous Witches

Tell us a little bit about it!

Potion Making For Disastrous Witches is a light-hearted and fun paranormal romance set at Obscure Academy. It follows Michaela, a not-so-great witch as she makes friends, falls in love, and ends up having to brew a potion...with disastrous consequences. 

What's your main character like?

Michaela is a fun loving and upbeat witch who doesn't care that she's not so good at magic, especially now she's at Obscure Academy where a lot of the other students aren't so great at being supernatural either. 

Is it part of a bigger series or world?

It is! It's part of the Obscure Academy series which revolves around a group of flatmates at a university level academy for supernaturals. The series is also part of my Obscure World which includes several urban fantasy and paranormal romance series all set in a world where supernaturals are out in the open. 


Is there anything else you want to tell us about your book in Midnight Magic?

The student flat Michaela lives in is based on the layout of the flat I lived in during my first year of university - and some of the antics she and her flatmates will get up to are also inspired by the adventures I had with my friends during that time! 

Juliana Haygert

What's the title of your book in Midnight Magic?

The Shadow Fae

Tell us a little bit about it!

Twyla appears in my previous series, Rite World: Vampire Wars. She's a shadow fae who was trapped inside a magical box for twenty years. Now she's out and she finds out her brother was a very wicked villain (in another series in the Rite World too) and most supernaturals don't trust her because of that.

What's your main character like?

Twyla has been through a lot. Though time passed differently inside the magical box, twenty years is a lot, and things are completely changed when she comes out. She has to adapt to all the changes and face reality.

Is it part of a bigger series or world?

Yes! I've been writing in what I call the Rite World universe. I have 4 series in this world, and another one is coming soon! I also have lots of freebies and shorter work in this same world, with lots of cameos.

Rebekah R. Ganiere

What's the title of your book in Midnight Magic?

Protector of the Night


Tell us a little bit about it!

It’s a prequel to my series Nocturne Academy. The first story was about Melisandre and Eonis, a vampire and a vampress (vampire/sorceress) and how they got together despite the fact that they were enemies. This one focuses on Natalia and Zander (werewolves) who are best friends of the vampire couple but can’t stand each other. In the book the vampires are forced to confront their families and make some hard decisions while Natalia and Zander try to protect them from being assassinated. Natalia and Zander must work together in close quarters despite not being able to get along at all. We will see if they can work together to save everyone’s lives though.

What's your main character like?

Natalia is feisty. Unlike other werewolves she is actually quite old because she is blood bonded to a vampress whose blood keeps her healthy and alive. She was thrown out of her pack because of her health problems and she was left to die. Melisandre found her and took her in and because of that Natalia has a fierce bond to protect Melisandre at all cost.

Is it part of a bigger series or world?

Yes. It is a prequel to my series Nocturne Academy. Which is about the couple’s son who is in love with the Vampire Princess but he isn’t allowed to be with her in anything more than a bodyguard capacity because of who she is. That series is an RH with other vampire heirs wanting her as well. But this book is fun because you get to see what happened between the relationship between the two families long before the kids are born.

Siera London

What's the title of your book in Midnight Magic?

LUNA


Tell us a little bit about it!

In a post-apocalyptic world, Luna is an earth elemental being hunted for a power she can’t control. Kole, is a Kelvinian ice prince sent on a quest to find a new home with ample water for his people. When a beautiful elemental with the ability to influence the tides saves him from death, he knows he can save the nation he’s sworn to protect.  But, can he rob the woman he’s come to love of her freedom?

What's your main character like?

Luna is powerful, yet gentle. Like the moon, she has an effect on the ebb and flow tide of the waters. The very flowers wilt when she’s sad. She’s courageous and generous, even though those she trusted in the past betrayed her loyalty. 


Is it part of a bigger series or world? Yes, Luna and Kole’s love story is Book 2 in my Kelvinian Warriors series. 

Is there anything else you want to tell us about your book in Midnight Magic? Midnight Magic is the perfect launch for Luna and Kole! The creative genius contained in this boxed set is otherworldly. Read every story!

The fate of the Enchanted Underworld and its continued hidden existence lies in the hands of these bold, brave, strong women. But affairs of the heart always complicate things.

Pepper McGraw

What's the title of your book in Midnight Magic?

Guardians of the Veil

Tell us a little bit about it!

Kalina and Thorne have served the Fae for centuries as Guardians of the Veil. As with all Guardians, their service will end in sacrifice to maintain the Veil and protect all of Faerie. Fate, however, has other plans in store, not just for Kalina and Thorne, but for all of the Fae. These two were never supposed to meet, but when they do, even centuries of tradition cannot deny the siren call of their mating bond. 

What's your main character like?

Honor is everything to Kalina and to Thorne. Their love is forbidden and for the good of Faerie, they’re determined to ignore the lure of the mating bond. As the years pass, however, the call of their bond gets stronger, rather than weaker, and they begin to question everything they’ve ever known about their role as Guardians and their true destiny in the ongoing fate of the Fae.

Is it part of a bigger series or world?

Guardians of the Veil is connected to two duets (The Veiled and The Unveiled) and can serve as a bridge between the two. Chronologically speaking, the books of The Veiled (Luna and Zara) come first, followed by Guardians of the Veil, followed by the books of The Unveiled (Astra and Glory). However, Guardians of the Veil can be read as a stand-alone story and can also serve as an excellent entry point into the world.

Is it part of a bigger series or world?

It will have the same world as the Legend Series, Dragons of Nevada Series, and Landen. Dragons and wolves are now out of the closet with all the shifters. Witches however aren't out of the closet.

Is there anything else you want to tell us about your book in Midnight Magic?

This will be my first RH story but I've done some mmf stories so this will be lots of fun to write and read.

In 2021, my theme word was BALANCE.

 Balance between work and play. 

 Balance between healthy and indulgent foods. 

 Balance between exercise and rest.

 Balance between mindfulness and escapism.

 

Overall, I feel as if I’ve made massive strides with this balancing act—an act that is constantly being recalibrated moment by moment, day by day—and I know that I’ll continue to carry the theme of balance with me as I continue forth into 2022 and beyond.

Happy new year to you!! Go forth and prosper!!

XOXO

Deacon's Star Sneak Peek

DEACON’S STAR SNEAK PEEK

 

Prologue

By M.C. Solaris

 

“Starr, I’d like you to meet, Feura,” Mara said gently, with that warm, motherly smile of hers.

Starr eyed the shy young female standing before her with skin of burnt gold and midnight hair.

“She’s now a part of our family.”

“Hi, Feura.” Starr only said it to be polite because that was what Mara and the other castellans at the home—her home—had taught her. But she wasn’t interested in making another friend only to lose them either to being adopted or becoming better friends with someone else in the family because they thought she was just too “fiery” and “strong.”

At least, that’s what Jillian—her last and final friend and supposed “sister”—had told her after she had single-handedly ruined Jillian’s tea party by accidentally burning everything to smoking ashes (including the table, food, presents). Jillian even suffered a very minor burn by trying to save her favorite doll.

Starr hadn’t meant for that to happen. She’d only been trying to impress Jillian and the other females by lighting the candles on the cupcakes in a flashy way. Instead, she only managed to alienate herself further. The other females were now wary of her and she knew that they only sat next to her at the dinner table because Herb and Mara made them because the two head castellans were big on family.

“Hi, Starr.” Feura’s voice held a foreign lilt and was as soft and airy as a whispering breeze.

Timid eyes of fiery sunlight met Starr’s for a split second before gluing themselves to the floor.

“Feura’s only a year older than you and is a fire elemental just like you.”

Starr felt excitement burst inside of her. There had never been another fire elemental in their home before. But she quickly snuffed out the excitement that ignited within her. Fire elemental or not, Feura would soon find out that Starr was too flashy and fierce and that the other females steered clear of her now.

“Starr, honey, why don’t you show Feura around.”

“Okay.” Starr nodded, deciding to start with the outside. It was a sunny day and she didn’t want to waste the sun. Plus, she knew Jillian and the others were inside right now.

Feura was a silent shadow next to Starr as they walked around the house and toward the back.

“Your voice is strange,” Starr said with the innocent bluntness of a young. “Where are you from?”

“La Rivière Du Temps.”

“I don’t know where that is,” Starr’s brow wrinkled a bit in thought. “But I like the way your voice sounds.”

“Thanks. It’s near the Paris crossing.”

Starr nodded. She had heard of the Paris border crossing before because all young were taught about The Barrier and the major crossings into the human world as it was an important part of their world and history.

For the next little while, Starr showed her new “sister” around the home. Feura spoke very few words during the tour but her interest was apparent.

“Do you want to see where I practice my fire?”

Feura nodded, her eyes sparking with interest.

“It’s great. I can practice as much as I want and I don’t ever get in trouble for burning things. As long as it’s within the fire circle though. We’re not allowed to use our fire freely outside the circle without one of the adults though.”

Feura nodded.

Starr guided them to the practice area that had been built just for her. It was a large clearing of dirt far away from the house and anything that could catch on fire, including grass or trees.

“You can’t get burned, right?”

Feura shook her head.

“Can you make a fireball?” Starr asked, conjuring a ball of flame in her tiny palm. The flame was small but Mara said that one day she wouldn’t be surprised if Starr could conjure big ones, maybe even the size of a basketball.

Feura’s eyes lit up. “Woah. I can’t do that.” To show, she conjured a single flame that would perfectly fit the size of a small tabletop candle.

“I can go bigger,” Starr half-whispered, as if sharing a secret. “Do you wanna see?”

Feura nodded, thoroughly entranced.

Starr looked around to make sure no one else was near and then closed her eyes to concentrate. She called forth the inner flame within her core—called and called until she felt her entire hand tingle and burst to life.

At Feura’s delighted gasp, she opened her eyes to see a giant fireball engulfing her entire hand and part of her forearm.

“Woah. That’s so cool!”

“You wanna see if I can go bigger?” Starr asked, her soul singing and practically jumping for joy at Feura’s curiosity instead of frightened rejection.

Feura bobbed her head excitedly.

Again, Starr closed her eyes and concentrated hard—harder than she ever had before. She wanted to impress Feura so badly. Maybe then Feura wouldn’t leave her like the others had. Maybe then she’d have a friend.

She called forth her inner fire and kept calling and calling, even when her whole arm began to tingle, then her torso, then—

A deafening whoosh and slight boom sounded out along with a frightened cry.

Starr’s eyes flew open to see both her and Feura’s clothes had been burned to ashes. And there was now a large blackened circle on the dirt around them as if an explosion had gone off.

Immediately, Starr had flashbacks of the tea party with Jillian and other incidents caused by her fire. An awful feeling flooded her, dousing her excitement. She knew that she ruined everything. She knew that Feura wouldn’t ever talk to her again and instead, would go hang out with the other females and avoid her.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean—“

“Woah!” Feura laughed for the first time. “Can you show me how to do that?”

 

Even after a few years of Starr teaching Feura, her sister of all but blood had never been able to conjure as much fire power as Starr. But that hadn’t stopped them from becoming the best of friends and being attached at the hip wherever they went.

They had made pacts to be best friends forever and promises to go to school together and live together until they got mated, only to then have homes right next door to each other.

If only that was what the fates had blessed them with...
