Acclaimed environmental architect Talmadge Oaks returns home to Red River on family business. He plans to get in and get out quickly because a professional catastrophe is waiting back in Washington. When an unforeseen snag keeps him in Red River longer than expected, he finds himself entangled in the renovations of his late grandmother’s Victorian inn.

Or can their undeniable passion keep them together?

Book 1: It's In His Heart

Award winning author, Shelly Alexander grew up traveling the world, earned a BBA in Marketing, and landed a corporate job in Dallas, TX before marriage lured her to the beautiful Southwest.

While reading in the New Mexico sunshine, she began to dream up love stories she’d like to write herself some day.

The years passed with her helping to run the family business, volunteering for every field trip and school function imaginable, and incalculable loads of dirty laundry generated by her three active boys. When she survived invasive breast cancer, she decided it was now or never and bought her first laptop so she could start writing down her stories.

Now she spends her days writing steamy romances while tending to two miniature schnauzers and a pet boa constrictor named Zeus. Her stories feature strong, independent heroines, hot heroes, and hefty doses of humor.

She still attends her three teenage boy’s sports events, school functions, and music performances, but they have learned to do their own laundry, providing her with more time to devote to writing.

Three generations of women,

Three second loves,

All with a dose of chaos mixed in.

Author: Lindsay Detwiler

Title: Then Comes Love

Genre: ChickLit

Release Date: March 18th

Publisher: Hot Tree Publishing

Sometimes in life, changes can be good…

After losing her husband, her five cats, and her home, Charlotte Noel hates feeling dependent. As Charlotte tries to find her identity in this new stage of life, she comes to realize that drama never ends, dance aerobics can be a war zone, and love is always a possibility.

You never know when a midlife crisis is going to strike…

Charlotte’s daughter, Annie, is going through struggles of her own. Recently divorced, she is feeling frumpy and worn-out. Run ragged, Annie mourns her youth and wonders where her life is headed, all while hoping she can help her daughter Amelia get it together.

Settling down can be overrated, especially when you’re falling for a rock star look-alike…

Amelia is the wild child of the family. Working three jobs, because she just hasn’t figured out what she wants in life, she realizes happiness isn’t always settling down with a steady, dependable man; sometimes it’s about following your true passion and living on the edge.

No matter what age you are, life and love can be crazy…

Amazon: US I UK I AU I CA

iTunes I Nook I Kobo I ARe

Can you tell us a little about your books?

All three of my books focus on contemporary women’s issues and love.

Voice of Innocence, my debut novel, is about two high school sweethearts who are torn apart by a wrongful conviction. The book is told decades after Corbin’s conviction, when Emma has moved on with her life. When Corbin is proven innocent, though, both wonder if a love from so long ago has truly faded.

My second novel, Without You, is about the idea that married or single, love is complicated. Jenna is married to Camden and seems to have the perfect life. However, the spark has died in her marriage, and she’s wondering if she is really living the life she wants. When she is sent on a business trip to New York City, she decides to take some time for herself and explore a life without Camden. In the same hometown, Violet Streiff owns a bakery. After a horrible breakup with her college sweetheart, she’s feeling forever alone. When Camden, Jenna’s husband, walks into her shop, though, sparks fly. She fights the feelings, not wanting to be a homewrecker. Through the story, complications arise, and life gets messy for all of them.

My latest novel, Then Comes Love, is the novel I’ve always wanted to write. It follows three women in the same family. Charlotte, 80, has just moved to an assisted living center and is struggling with this new stage of life. Her daughter Annie, 50, has just dealt with a messy divorce and is undergoing a major mid-life crisis. Amelia, 32, is Charlotte’s granddaughter and is the wild one of the family. She is struggling to settle down in life and figure out what she wants. The story is told from all three perspectives over the course of a year as the women maneuver life changes and second loves. It deals with heavy issues of aging and identity, but it also has a lot of humor. I would describe the feel of this book as a Nicholas Sparks’ novel mixed with some Janet Evanovich.

When did you know you wanted to write a book?

I’ve always loved writing. When I was little, I would write stories and poems in a journal. I even tried to start writing a book in sixth grade. I got serious about it, though, in college. I took a class called The Literature of Health and Healing. We talked a lot about bucket lists and dreams. During that class, I sat down and started writing the draft of what would become Voice of Innocence.

3. Do you work with an outline, or just write?

I use a very basic outline. I usually just jot down ideas of events and characters. Once I get a solid idea formulated, I will roughly outline each chapter. Usually, I just jot down the main “event” that will happen in each chapter.

4. Do you aim for a set amount of words/pages per day?

I am a high school English teacher, so it can be really tough to write during the school year. I do most of my writing over the summer. I aim for a chapter a day when I’m working on a new project. I try to be pretty flexible and just write whenever I get time.

5. Which book has been your favorite to write?

Then Comes Love was so much fun to write. I loved writing from Charlotte’s perspective. It was so different than what I’ve done so far, and there is such a freedom when writing about this age. I also really love the character of Amelia because she is so different from me; she is wild and rebellious, and I loved writing from that perspective. This book has a much lighter tone than my other two, so it was exciting to explore that.

6. For someone who hasn't read any of you books yet, which one would you suggest they read first?

I really think Then Comes Love is my favorite of the three. It has something for everyone, no matter what your age or personality. I also think it’s easy to relate to.

7. What do you do when you are not writing?

I’m a high school English teacher, which keeps me really busy. I typically have my nose in a book when I’m not doing schoolwork. I must also admit I’ve been known to binge on some Netflix shows. I’m obsessed with Orange is the New Black, Reign, Once Upon a Time, and Jane the Virgin.

8. I watched the Book Trailer Without You, it made me want to read the book. Do you make your own book trailers?

Thank you so much! This made my day J I do make my own trailers. It’s actually one of my favorite parts of marketing. I’m definitely not a pro at it, but I love trying to find a way to make the idea for my story visual.

9. Are you doing any Author Signing Events this year?

Right now, I don’t have anything lined up. I just had a book signing at Barnes & Noble last month, but I’m hoping to go back once Then Comes Love is released.

1 What are writing projects are you currently working on?

Right now, I’m working on a story for a summer anthology. I am also finishing up the sequel to Then Comes Love and working on a new novel called To Say Goodbye. I have several other project ideas I’m really excited about.

Facebook I Twitter I Website

An high school English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché; she love cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe.

She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, and Bob; and their Mastiff, Henry.

Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.” With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are real.” That’s how she knows she's done her job.

Lindsay's hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Title: The Glass Coffin

Author: Kelly Martin

Genre: YA Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Blue Tulip Publishing

Hosted by: Lady Amberâ€™s PR

Blurb:

Gertrude "Trudy" Dodsworth wants nothing more than to be with the love of her life, William Haddington, Earl of Waverly. Her father, the evil "sin collector" Frederick Dodsworth, forbids the union and sends Trudy and her mother far away to a town called Everdale. While there, Trudy catches the eye of the roguishly handsome and very controlling, Lawson Stockwell--also an earl. He asks for her hand in marriage. Trudy reluctantly agrees for the sake of her mother who has fallen suddenly ill. William Haddington has hit a new low. Once thought of as a virtuous man, William has fallen from grace. Laden heavy with guilt, he trudges through life carrying the burden that is his to bear. He set the fire that disfigured Nicholas Wellington, The Beast of Ravenston. William goes to Everdale to start over, become himself again, try to move on, but when he sees the love of his life, Trudy, arm in arm with another man, he falls back into the bottle. When the "gifts" begin appearing on his doorstep, William has no doubt they are from Lord Ra-venston, who is known to get revenge on those who hurt him. With time running out and his love for Trudy tearing him apart, William must decide if he will give into his feelings for her or force her to hate him forever. Because The Beast is coming to Everdale. And he's coming to make William suffer. Based on Sleeping Beauty

Kelly Martin writes paranormal, contemporary, historical, and YA fiction. She has been married for over ten years and has three rowdy, angelic daughters. When she's not writing, she loves taking picture of abandoned houses, watching horror gamers on YouTube-- even though she's a huge wimp-- and drinking decaf white chocolate mochas. She's a total fangirl, loves the 80s and 90s, and has a sad addiction to paranormal TV shows. {Basically, she likes creepy stuff.} Her favorite characters are the very flawed 'good guys'--and 'bad guys' who don't know they are evil. She loves giving her readers books with unexpected twists and turns, but (here's a hint) most of her books have the ending spelled out in the first chapter. See if you can figure it out.

Only stalkers and men of ill-repute watched women from behind street corners and lampposts and carriages. William felt like both, but he could not keep her out of his sight.

Heâ€™d only just arrived in Everdale an hour before, and, to his surprise, he saw her immediately, Trudy, not fifteen paces away. He should have talked to her. Instead, heâ€™d hidden.

William was a coward. He felt like a coward. He did cowardly things out of fear. Fear, his biggest weakness.

Fear made men do strange and peculiar things.

Fear made men travel hundreds of miles away from home to stay alive. Fear made men drink more than they should to forget the past â€” though William hadnâ€™t drank in over five days, since heâ€™d first left Darenset. And he felt it too. Every bit of him begged for a drink, only one, to take the edge off. Only one to chase the nightmares away.

Without the alcohol, William dreamed. In his dreams, he remembered everything. The fire. Lord Ravenstonâ€™s face. Losing Trudy. Blackmail by Mr. Dodsworth â€” a man even more evil than himself. Mr. Dodsworth was a 'sin collector', a man who collected the misdeeds of both the titled and commoners and used them against anyone he wished when the time suited him. Though William knew he shouldn't judge. He had no way of being saved. What heâ€™d doneâ€¦ He would never be forgiven. He didnâ€™t deserve it.

He hadnâ€™t meant to set the fire. No, that was a lie. Heâ€™d meant exactly to set the fire. Revenge and all. Heâ€™d just never meant for anyone to get hurt.

The fact that someone had, Nicholas Wellington â€” the Beast â€” well, it was fitting. William knew heâ€™d never be forgiven. Not for the fire or what heâ€™d done to his best friend, Vaughan, Earl of Brighton.

But, even with all that, even with the fact that he knew heâ€™d spend his eternity in hell, William made the conscious decision to not drink â€” to try, try, to do good. He might never, in his mind, make it to the Pearly Gates, but he would do his damnedest to never hurt another living soul.

He never should have chosen Everdale; he knew that now. Not after he saw her. He should have hopped right back on the first carriage out of town and headedâ€¦ somewhere. Anywhere. This was supposed to be a place to start over, refresh, and move on.

How could he move on with her beautiful face taunting him?

So, he crouched behind carriages and behind corners, watching, waiting, and gawking.

The first time his gaze had slid passed her, he hadnâ€™t recognized her.

Gertrude â€” Trudy â€” Dodsworth had become more of a lady since that fateful night six months ago. Her long red hair that had always lain in unruly curls, the tresses he wanted so much to run his fingers through, to pull her toward him and take her lips on his, was piled atop her head like all the proper ladies. William understood pomp and circumstance. He understood the ways of the world, more than most. However, he missed seeing those wild locks. The girl who, though wealthy and well-brought-up, always had a wildness about her. But not around her father. No, she was too smart for that. Frederick Dodsworth would have scared the devil. He sure as hell scared William.

Around her father, Trudy was the perfect lady. Around William, it was completely different.

In Darenset, their encounters had come about unintentionally at first. Theyâ€™d run into each other, literally, as he rounded a street corner on the way to Vaughanâ€™s residence, and sheâ€™d come bounding around the other direction. Sheâ€™d ended up on her bottom. William had wound up red-faced and apologetic.

Then, the most wonderful thing had happened.

Sheâ€™d laughed.

A proper young lady, laughed at him â€” not at him. Not like heâ€™d done something wrong, but a light-hearted chuckle. People around them had stopped and stared, but the girl hadnâ€™t seemed to mind. Sheâ€™d taken Williamâ€™s extended hand, and heâ€™d pulled her upright.

Heâ€™d found out later that sheâ€™d escaped her chaperone because sheâ€™d only wanted a few minutes to herself. Her father wouldnâ€™t allow it. Trudy had always assumed heâ€™d been afraid someone would hurt her. William figured it was because he had to control every single situation. Even his daughter.

Especially his daughter.

Time went on, and they continued to run into each other. William found that he looked forward to those meetings most in the world. Not the ones with the important folks that he had to attend. No, he daydreamed about Trudy, about pulling her into his arms, about things he knew he should not even consider.

Then came her ball, her coming-out party. And William had never felt more aliveâ€¦ and more scared. Heâ€™d known it meant that sheâ€™d start courting. Other men would be able to meet her, unless he asked her father for her hand. William had a title, a good title, anybody â€” well, most people â€” would love their daughter to marry above her station.

Not Mr. Dodsworth.

The answer had sullied Williamâ€™s spirit, and heâ€™d done something he never in his life imagined heâ€™d do; he had set a blaze to Dodsworthâ€™s textile factory.

Heâ€™d stood there and watched it burn.

Then heâ€™d heard the screams.
