Tour Stop: Sister Witches by Coralie Moss


Once Blessed, Thrice Cursed 
Sister Witches Book 1 
by Coralie Moss 
Genre: Urban Fantasy 


Clementine
Brodeur must untangle her dead mother’s legacy before the
clock runs out.

My
name is Clementine and my magic is making me lose sleep.

My
two sisters and I have forty-eight hours to find someone our talented
mother could not. If we don’t succeed, someone will die. 

My
magic allows me to see memories the dead leave behind--which forces
me to relive the moment my mother was attacked by fae. 

I
must tell my sisters what I’ve seen, because I know what we need to
do. Except I’m afraid they’re done with my “leap now, look
later” escapades.



They’ve
had my back for over twenty years. Why wouldn’t they have it now?

**Get it FREE!!** 




Demon Lines 
Sister Witches Book 2 


Clementine
Brodeur has found her fated mate, and is now pursued by a
three-faced killer.

I
wasn’t expecting to meet Laszlo Arkadi the same day I discovered my
family was built on secrets.


My
deceased mother? On the face of it, she was a matchmaker for witches
seeking love. Concealed from her daughters, she risked her life
freeing enslaved Magicals.


My
father? He wasn’t there for me. And since my mother’s death,
he’s been trying to join her on the other side.


As
for my oldest sister? I suspect she’s an assassin.



Now
I’ve bonded with my ice demon, Prince Laszlo, he’s taking me to
the Reformed Realm to meet his parents. Turns out, there’s more to
meeting the Queen than simply learning to curtsy. 

I
just want to catch a break from family drama--mine and his. That
royal ball Laszlo and I are required to attend? The invited
guests think the prince is still single. The uninvited guests intend
to escape with the realm’s most vulnerable Magicals. 

I
have to follow my instincts. Only now I’m bound to another. Can
Laszlo and I merge our magics? Can we challenge a tyrant who
envisions a world with many of us in cages?








The Scarab Eater's Daughter 
Sister Witches Book 3 


Alderose
Brodeur must avenge more than her parents’ deaths.
I
use my muscles more than my magic. I have to. My father learned the
hard way that magic can be sucked dry. He made certain I knew a good
right hook is priceless, and to keep my blades sharp.
He’s
dead now. My two sisters and I are talking again. But there’s so
much Clementine and Beryl don’t know about me--and there’s no
time for a girls’ night out.
The
three of us must go up against Lionel Vigne, the same fae who brought
down our parents. We know he’s hiding in the French Alps. He’s on
the cusp of forcefully breeding rare Magicals, the crime that got him
banished from fae lands.
I
want to complete my mother’s mission on my own. Do I blend the
metal in my blood with my blades and use brute force to end Lionel’s
tyranny?


Or,
if I truly am the Scarab Eater’s Daughter, do I put down my blades
and let my magic act as a lure?








Coralie Moss loves everyday heroines and complicated witches, layered magic and earthly moments, and will always believe in the power of love. Whether she’s writing Urban Fantasy or Contemporary Romance, her characters get her up in the morning and Assam tea keeps her going. She lives on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia with her HEA, their son, and two globe-trotting rescue cats.

When an accident gives her the ability to run faster than the speed of sound she must manage to keep her self upright or else those she loves will perish.

Iyo (ISM) Stephensbailey was born in 2002 in Hawaii. All his life he has always had a creative mind, but with his ASD diagnosis, he's struggled early on to convey the message. The biggest thing he wants other people to know especially fellow readers and writers is that it's not over until you make it over. He has gone through Depression with two placements and emotional abuse from his Varsity football coach. Yet, even through all of that, he is still knocking out books like they are a piece of cake. His debut novel Lightning: A Savage is Born, which shortly afterwards turned into Lightning: Saga of the Savage is his way of telling the world, "I'm still here."

Tour Stop: Sector C by Nina Soden


The Chosen 
Sector C Volume 1 
by Nina Soden 
Genre: Urban Fantasy 


Set in a futuristic dystopian where society is governed by a council of vampires and lycanthropes, selection students are sheltered and raised in a deceptively utopian world. Strict rules are imposed to control population growth, education, and even personal interactions with other members of the Sector, all in the name of safety. When ‘A’ comes of age, she like all youth throughout Sector C and her selection classmates aren’t sent out into the world to find jobs, make money and lead happy carefree lives. They are forced to endure the rigorous physical and mental testing of Selection Week before choosing their destiny or being forced into a fate far worse. Those that make it out alive are announced as sector residence, given a position within the society, and allotted all the privileges of their chosen “culture.” However, when your only choices are vampirism, lycanthropy, breeder, blood donor, or banishment to the Wastelands, what choice do you really have? Suspenseful, intense, passionate, and awash in paranormal delights, Sector C captures the enchantment and mysteries of the supernatural world and the power of friendship. 




The Hunted 
Sector C Volume 2 


In the future, most of the world is governed by a council of vampires and lycanthropes. Sector residents are offered the freedom to live as they desire provided they stay and abide by the laws handed down. After being jolted awake by the blaring screech of the sector alarm, Zelina is dragged from her bed, gagged, and tied to a chair. Confronted with the brutal murder of one of her former classmates, she realizes that all eyes are on her as the primary suspect. Whether she was involved or not doesn’t matter. In the eyes of most sector residents, and most Council Members, Zelina is already a pariah—feared for the powers she will certainly come to possess. For she is the first human known to have both vampire and lycanthrope blood flowing through her veins. Zelina will find herself on a gripping adventure that will take her beyond the borders she’s known all her life in an attempt to save those she loves—and herself from becoming The Hunted. 




The Bridge 
Sector C Volume 3 


Change is happening all around Zelina and with it a prophesy is revealed. Is Zelina the key to unlocking a new way of existing on earth? What will she do when she discovers the true monsters of Sector C – the darkness that feeds off of the fear and the unknowing. Will she be able to suspend her own disbelief about what is possible and secure a new future? With the help of Merick, a motley crew of defectors, and a host of unexpected allies, Zelina bridges space and time in an attempt to bring forth a new future for all sentient beings. Join Zelina, Merick, and the others as they discover the power of the prophesy and their parts in setting their stagnant world free. 







I have always been creative, be it art, theatre, film – anything but singing – you don’t want to hear that! I earned her bachelor’s degree in Theatre and Military Science from EMU where I spent most of my time either on stage, rappelling down buildings, or working one of three jobs. After college, I moved to Los Angeles, like so many other want-to-be actors, in pursuit of my dreams. I worked to pay the bills… but my love was acting and I was actually somewhat successful, mostly in commercials and independent films and I had a great time doing it. 

In 2008, after some major life changes, I self-published her first book PRIVATE WORDS UNSPOKEN, a compilation of poetry. Since then, my dreams have gotten bigger and I would like to think my storytelling ability has gotten better. I have done everything from secretarial work to business development to being the Director of a private preschool. I have fired an M16, jumped out of a C130, and given birth – TWICE - but I always return to my art. 

Though I’ll forever be a Michigan girl at heart, I now live in the South with my husband and two beautiful children. If I’m not working on my latest story, you can find me lounging with a good book, playing with my kids, or indulging in my unhealthy addiction to Starbucks coffee.

Fresh out of prison, Erin wastes no time getting back to what she does best: running down wanted men and claiming their bounties. 

But when a powerful demon lurking in a black cathedral hires her to round up an errant soul, the creature offers a reward far more valuable than money… 

He offers Erin the key to unlocking her tragic past. The key to the mystery surrounding her long-lost brother.
