“Time for dinner,” the vampire hissed.

Sharp fangs bit into Piper’s neck. They pressed deeply into her flesh and hot surging pain erupted in her mind. She couldn’t scream. Mind turned blank and world spinning, Piper stood there, almost drowning in the rain, as the vamp girl drank from her.
After the brutal murder of her father, Piper tried to escape the life of servitude under the iron fist of a vampire. But her small glimmer of freedom was shattered the moment fangs sunk into her throat.
Trapped as a fanged freak, Piper was forced to run away from her past in order to survive the wrath of a bloodthirsty monster hunting her down. She thought she could keep it up for the rest of her immortal life, but that all changed when she was rescued by a blue eyed vampire and welcomed into a hidden world crawling with monsters and magic.

Entertaining Angels by Monica Millard


Author name: Monica Millard
Book title: Entertaining Angels
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal

Book Blurb:
As a senior in high school, Samantha Heman’s too busy trying to avoid getting stomped by a moose at the bus stop and keeping her grades up until graduation to put much thought into angels or demons.

That all changes on the day she is kidnapped by notorious serial killer, Christopher Hainsely. It’s a day she finds herself confronted by both evil and good, because her savior appears in the form of an avenging angel come to strike the monster down with a single stroke of his flaming sword.

Though she’s trying to get on with her life, she cannot get the angel out of her head. It isn’t the burning wings, fiery eyes or the flaming sword that keeps her searching the internet for proof one way or another of his existence, though.

The feeling of warmth she experienced when she witnessed that sad smile just before he vanished in a wash of golden light, haunts her nights almost as often as the nightmares. 

If angels exist, then demons must too, and they’re about to wage a war for her soul.

She loves to read because it allows her to see the world through someone else’s perspective and experience something she would otherwise never be able to. Sharing that same experience with others through her own writing is a possibility that makes her excited to get out of bed in the morning.

She lives in Wasilla, Alaska with all her critters, some four legged and others that stand on two. She writes Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Paranormal for young adults.

Book Blurb:
In a freak collision when she was twelve, Mia Germaine faced death and the loss of her father. A heart transplant from a young murder victim saved her life, but not without a price. Twenty years later, chilling nightmares about an unresolved homicide begin to plague Mia. Compelled by these lost memories, she forms a complicated connection to the victim-the girl killed the night of Mia's accident-due to a scientific phenomenon called "organ memory."

Now suffocating beneath the weight of avenging a dead girl and catching a serial killer on the loose dubbed the "Triangle Terror," Mia must dodge her own demons while unimaginable truths torment her-along with a killer set on
making her his next victim.

As Mia tries to determine if her dreams are clues or disturbing phantasms, uninvited specters lead her further into danger's path, costing her the one person who can save her from herself.

About the Author:



I live in Upstate New York with my husband and three children, where I've pretty much been planted my entire life. Which is fine, because it's beautiful here. My only complaint is that most people assume New York means NYC, which it doesn't. There. I've done my part in exposing the truth. Truth. The truth is I'm not a writer, storyteller maybe, but not a writer. It wasn't something I went to school for. I'm a nurse. I love being a nurse. So why write? I don't know. I do know when it started, though: September 3, 2010. I know this because I nature journal and on that day Joel made it into my notes. I guess it's fitting. Someone like him needed to be birthed in the woods. If you were to meet me, and I hope someday you do, you would not connect me with this story. I'm a wife, a mother, a nurse. The person who wrote this should've been a guy, first off; secondly he should have been some militaristic strategist; that's who you'd expect to see if you were to come to a book signing, not me. But I'm there, in every line. So, if I don't have the pleasure of meeting you in person, I'll see you in Newstead.

Author Bio: 

Neils Knudsen was born in 1948 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He moved a lot during his childhood and early adulthood. Each location had its own traditions and ways of life. He tended to adopt many of those nuances and in each new micro-culture he became a little more fanciful. As a result his foundation as a writer of fantasy fiction was under construction.
A six year stint in the U.S. Navy followed by 24 years working for the U.S. Army distracted him from any thought of writing.
After he retired his son challenged him to write a book. 
At that point his primary experience with writing dealt with SOP’s (standard operating procedures), regulations and reports—all very boring. Newsletters and a few editorial cartoons in small town newspapers were the extent of his published artistic endeavors. 
Online writing sites, like critiquecircle.com, helped hone his creative writing skills. He also had the help of a wife with an English degree, a brother-in-law with several novels to his name and plenty of time on his hands. Almost five years later he finished the first novel and entered a state-wide contest sponsored by the League of Utah Writers. 
In 2013 he won first place for the first chapter in The Singing Stones of Rendor. With that award, and some fine tuning of the novel, he delayed publishing to enter it in the “Novel” category the following year. One of the requirements was the work had to be unpublished. In 2014 the book won second place. Not bad.
The critique from the judges led to further refinements of the story. 
Neils now reside in Utah and writes under the gentle guidance of his wife and hard-nosed muse, and the encouragement of a much admired brother-in-law. The only pets he lives with are his peeves.

When matching up Luke works a little too well, Brooke wonders if she’s with the right man. Maybe she should finally forget Luke’s playboy image and admit he’s changed. All Brooke has to decide is if she’s willing to risk her heart.
