Guardian Unforgiven

Werewolves Awakened #1
by
Nollen Bradley

Genre: Erotic Werewolf Thriller
403 pages


The werewolf, most believe to be folklore or legend. For centuries, the
existence of werewolves were kept secret and guarded by a warrior
class of lycan descended from a fierce ancient line known as the
Guardians. These Guardians, sworn to uphold the peace between the
wolf and humans. But, some werewolves not satisfied with living in
secrecy start lashing out, hunting and killing all with the ancient
gene to push humanity into extinction.

Now, only a few descendants are left with the cursed bloodline, some don’t even know they have…


"I read the book one Saturday afternoon in about 3 1/2 hours straight.
While I wanted to take a break, I found myself simply unable to put
it down until reaching the end. ALL GOOD! Touché. Excellent story.
Excellent plot…”
Amazon Review July 4, 2017

"There are a lot of great action sequences throughout the book, and each chapter builds upon the last. The author does a great job with
setting the scene and describing the characters in the story, it was
like watching a movie in my head…”
Amazon Review June 27, 2017




Nollen Bradley is a pen name for Bradley Noll an American author residing near Leavenworth Kansas. The married, father of two grown children is new to the published author scene even though he has been writing song lyrics, poems and short stories all of his life.

Brad grew up on a farm outside of Winchester Kansas learning the value of hard work. Following college, Brad spent twelve years as a Paramedic until his second back surgery ending his successful career where he received several letters of commendation.

Brad spent time farming in his off days feeling the everyday pressures of the weather, markets and juggling the debt that is associated with large business. All the while, continuing to write songs and preform at local venues. Following a music CD he produced named “Make Believe” with eleven of his original songs and while in the process of producing his second Album he realized his talent was more suited for writing then music.

One day it snapped and with Brad’s influences like Merle Haggard, Chris Kristofferson, Hank Jr., Metallica and most of all “The Man in Black” Johnny Cash. Brad’s mentors show as in the words from the poem 'Looking Down'

“I pulled my cowboy hat down low, Drank down my last swallow,
Of Kentucky Bourbon and coke,
As the World was spinning round, I knew I have to slow it down,
Cause I’m going nowhere fast, staring at the bottom of this glass…” Nollen Bradley 2010

Embracing the concept to ask the question “Why so many lose and so few win?” Rooting for the underdog’s the longshot’s just like himself. The ones that are not supposed to make it but push and fight with everything they have and despite the odds, they still try.

Don’t let the rough exterior fool you, for inside Brad is the heart of a poet. Sometimes a tortured soul haunted by memories or questions. A helpless romantic as seen in the poem 'When We Flew'

“…Guess now, I can look back to then, How I can’t help but smile,
Through these tears that hide the pain, I think of you… every memory remains,
But, when we flew Girl we were something to see,
Higher than one life could ever be,
we flew so high we no longer believed… so we lost those dreams,
It saddens me, until I think about, when we flew Girl, cause we were something to see…” Nollen Bradley 2011

Brad takes the experience from the sweat stinging his eyes from the heat on a hot July day in Kansas. The heartache from having to tell a parent or a child that their loved one has died and there was nothing he could do, to the struggles of trying to pursue a dream and watching it crumble in front of him. Brad has developed a style that draws on real life experiences to provide exciting yet believable story lines that captivate readers. Writing unbelievable tales with the realism of the struggles from everyday life in the painful cookie cutter suburban age.

Book Tour + #Giveaway - Selenium Night - by Kharma Kelley @kharmakelley Paranormal Werewolf Shifter Romance


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.

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.

Welcome Kay Dee Royal

I'm so excited! Today my special guest is a good friend and fellow MuseItUp sister, the fabulous Kay Dee Royal. Check out our interview then enjoy an excerpt from her latest release Savage Smoke. Book Two in the LIIA Lycan International Investigation Agency series. A Contemporary Erotic Paranormal Romance.


What was your favourite book as a child/teenager? 

I didn’t really have a favorite. I read most of the Classics, like Black Beauty, Heidi, Old Yeller, Huckleberry Fin and as I got older I went for the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys series ;) AND, then I found Science Fiction *grins*

Who was the first author or what was the first book you read that introduced you to the genre that you most enjoy writing in?

It wasn’t really a book in my hand, but movies that pulled at my heart strings…like 1,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, War of the Worlds…I was a real science fiction geek. Lived for Double Creature Feature, Twilight Zone, Lost in Space, Dark Shadows, Creature of the Dark Lagoon, Jason and the Argonauts, The Blob…I loved them all ;)

Do you believe in love at first sight? And if so, have you ever been so afflicted? Did you do anything about it? (Did you go for it?)

I do believe in love at first sight…because I married him. Even though we grew up together…through school, we didn’t actually become a couple until our sophomore year. BUT, we both knew at an early age (from later conversations) we were meant to be together. We both had feelings about the other very early, and I want to say we first discovered each other with a look. Sort of like Divine intervention.

Is there a particular word you overuse or writing technique that your editor(s) ride you about?

This makes me laugh…a little. I love my editors (Nancy Bell and Greta Gunnselman) and I asked Nancy how many ways can I say the words ~ arousal, aroused, and stimulated…truly, how many ways are there? LOL

The Lycan in my LIIA series live in a constant state of arousal for each other and are stimulated by oh so many things… *grins* Nancy assures me there’s a strong story behind all of that lusty behavior. Thank goodness!

Have you ever suffered from writer’s block? (Or do you even believe in it?) If so, how were you able to overcome it?

I’ve discovered something about my “writing process” ~ I write like crazy and then…I stop. I’ll stop for weeks, maybe even a month, and then I purge out another twenty thousand words or so. It’s like I’m processing the story as I write it…like I’m listening for those story-stars to belch it out, even though I’m also running with an outline. If the story-stars don’t agree, well, what can I say;)
For the longest time I questioned this, wondering if other authors would name this a block…and perhaps it is, but I prefer to label it as my personal writing process and allow it to flow as it willJ

The end of Savage Smoke took months of writing and rewriting. Smoke insisted on redemption, and originally I thought it was his time to die…well, when you read the book, see what he’s gone and done. I think we kicked each other’s A**’s. *giggles*

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

I’m a lifer in Michigan…love the entire state. My husband and I are avid fisherman and there are so many beautiful pristine lakes to fishJ My husband is also a hunter, and there’s lots of areas full of game for hunting. To me, the perfect writing retreat is a beautiful view of nature. I’d love to live in Northern Michigan where my backyard is a forestJ I’m definitely not a city girl.

If you could bring one of your own characters to life, who would it be and why?

I think Chance would be my pick…I’m head over heels in love with him ;)

What are you reading right now?

I can’t list all of the books I’m reading…I read tons of books at the same time. Some fiction, some non-fiction…I usually have around ten to twenty books going at the same time, plus I edit a number of books;)

My favorite genre to read is erotic paranormal romance…but I’m gaining new appreciation for other sub-genres of romance, like Historical romance, Steampunk, Fantasy romance, and Romantic Comedy. Even have an erotic zombie thriller on my kindle;)

When you read, do you prefer a stand-alone or a series?

I hate to admit this, but there are so many authors I want to read, I find it difficult to stick with an entire series…and here I am writing one. If I’m hooked on the characters…I’m locked in, but a story without fully developed characters won’t keep me engaged.

If you were to do a reality show, which one would it be?

OH, HK, I hate reality shows…I’m living in a fantasy world, after all ;)

What is the craziest, most exciting, or most dangerous thing you’ve ever done?

For years I went canoeing with a group of women down a river in Northern Michigan…we called ourselves the River Rangers (LOL) – even had our own song. So, I thought if I could do that and handle canoeing all of these years (like 20), I could handle white water rafting.

OH. My. GOSH. The water wasn’t the only thing white on that trip…my knuckles holding the oar, my face, my pale demeanor. Holy craps, my friend’s raft went over and my groups’ raft raced by it so fast there was no way we could stop or even slow down to help rescue her (she was under the raft). I was never so scared in my life…too many rocks, water too fast, and absolutely nowhere to stop and rest. My friend couldn’t swim either, for goodness sakes.

Thankfully, there are guides that can handle these types of incidents…she came out too scared to continue down the river, so was gratefully able to be picked up and driven back to our motel…and all it would have taken for me to get off that white water death trap was to tumble into the water *smiles* I have to admit, it was empowering to make it to the end without falling out.

Name a celebrity, athlete, musician, etc. you’d most like to get naughty with.

Are you familiar with the show Supernatural? Dean stole my heart with his clean-cut naughty boy persona, and his kick-butt hunter expertise, plus his voice…oh, my…kind of like Sam Elliot’s, but not. Sweet as pie…or dark and mysterious as chocolate…melts my insides just the same ;)

What is your favourite way to promote or connect with fans?

I’m still working on this one ;) My favorite social media is Twitter…but I still am not savvy on where to meet readers

Favourite movie?

A very old movie ~ An Affair to Remember starring Cary Grant and Debra Kerr;) 
  
Dream Vacation?

A few weeks of lakeside serenity surrounded by rustic wooded area – I love nature…and of course, I would be writing or fishing with DH.

Dream Car?  

RV *grins* People who hang out in RV parks are some of the nicest people in the worldJ Everyone is on vacation.

Favourite Ice Cream Flavour?

Mint chocolate chip

What can readers look forward to next?

Book 3 in the series, working title, Smoke ‘n Bliss J

Author: Kay Dee Royal

Title: Savage Smoke

Genre: Erotic Paranormal Romance

Publisher: Muse It Hot Publishing

Release Date: June 2013

                 Amazon US



Blurb:

Chance and his LIIA pack of agents search for rogue Lycan mastermind, Smoke, kidnapper of Lindsey and fifteen other human women he plans to use for procreating his own army.

Trevor, Chance’s right-hand Lycan, wants his mate back, but believes she’s fallen for her captor. Lindsey loves Trevor but believes he’s given up on her.

Will Trevor come around in time to rescue Lindsey and save her from shifting into Smoke’s pack, and will she even want back with Trevor after spending so long apart?

Short Excerpt:

So far, Smoke didn’t share Lindsey with other males, but she was aware of the orgies inside the central building. She heard a few women talk of them. Some even liked them, being surrounded by hard-bodied men hung like rocket launchers. Those women went at it without the use of the stimulation drug Smoke used on everyone else.

She was used to the little needle pricks and welcomed them. It made acting the part with Smoke so much easier, believing in her heart Trevor made love to her, but guarding that fact from Smoke by holding Trevor’s name in the secret place, locked safely away.

Lindsey understood some of the sexual attraction. She had that once, but she couldn’t go there in her mind. Smoke searched her thoughts almost daily and always found if she’d tapped into any memory nuggets of people she loved. He possessed psychic abilities others didn’t. Already, the thoughts of Trevor that had emerged she’d need to bury before Smoke returned.

If an orgy ensued during their pack meeting, Smoke would be preoccupied for a good while. She reached her arm underneath the mattress, where a few weeks ago she saw Smoke slide his journal. Lindsey had fallen asleep with her back to the fireplace. A crack of thunder wakened her in time to witness Smoke closing a journal and placing it beneath the mattress they shared.

            Lindsey touched its leather cover, wrapped her fingers around it, and hauled it out.
