Book Description:

Amaranta Costa uses her Kanima as an avoidance tactic, until the one person she cherishes most is taken from her. When Gavin Ford enters the fray uninvited, she’s forced to accept the help of his pack to find her mate.

Trusting others isn’t her forte. Though her inner jaguar accepts him hands down, the woman in her fights his dominating, take-control nature. Unlike Marisol’s soft personality, Gavin’s wolf challenges her at every turn. She can find no escape. His abrasiveness both sets her on edge and pleases her. She finds being in Marisol’s arms isn’t enough; the all-consuming need to be his burns to her core. There’s no denying the chemical attraction arcing among the three of them.

Will she reach out, and accept the love and support waiting for her?

Excerpt:

The raucous wails intensified and the crunch of tires entering her private drive grew louder. Amara pressed on, breaking through the foliage into her large back yard to see uniformed officers walking the perimeter of her house.

“Excuse me?” Amara padded across her back yard, aware of her nudity and one enforcement officer leering at her. The other looked uncomfortable. Humans. Why do they find nudity unacceptable, since everyone born into the world came without clothes? How she hated the restricting fibers and longed to live in nothing but her skin. Maybe a blanket for times when the cold bit into her, chilling her to the bone.

“Ma’am, your alarm system activated. We called and no one answered. Are you harmed?”

“No, not at all.” She crossed her arms under her breasts. Their eyes roved over her and the one speaking seemed to lose his voice. They appeared confused as to why she paraded around like she did.

“Sir, the house is clear.”

“I’m sure it was just a false alarm.” Amara whipped her head to the left, addressing the female officer entering through her veranda doors.

“Are you certain? We found your front door wide open when we pulled up the drive. The perpetrator may still be in the area. Ma’am, would you mind putting on some clothes?”

Of course there wasn’t an intruder in the house; she’d feel the presence. She weighed the probability of Mari forgetting to lock up behind herself. No other lingering scents clung in the air. No dark aura. Seething in anger at her girlfriend’s lack of awareness, she stalked to her door, leaving the officers to follow her indoors. “I do mind dressing on my own property. I like being naked—”

“Still, ma’am…talking to you’d be a lot easier if you wore clothing.”

“For fuck’s sake.” Amara glared at the unwanted guests.

“She’ll put on some clothes if I have to drag her to her room myself and dress her.” Gavin’s authoritative voice entered into the standoff.

“I will not. This is my place. If they don’t like my appearance they can leave.” Amara whipped around and stared down Gavin’s steel wall of unwanted authority. “What are you doing here?” She’d never seen the man anywhere but at The Delightful Kitty. In his cargo pants and T-shirt, he looked damn good standing in her house.

“Heard the call on my scanner. Wanted to check on you and Mari. Go put on some clothes, babe. I’ll keep the five-oh company.”

Amara opened her mouth to speak and switched outlets.

How do you know where I live?

Drake told me. Now go put on some clothes. Though I don’t mind staring at you, not one bit.

Excerpt: 

White beams of moonlight splayed themselves across the walls of Patrick’s opulent marshmallow bedroom in his high class contemporary New York penthouse apartment, shining in through the floor to ceiling windows. It was four o'clock in the morning and I was wide awake. Jet lag had gotten the best of me and my internal time clock was still running on Paris time. Rolling to my side, I propped myself up on one elbow to admire Patrick snoozing away comfortably next to me, all naked and handsome. The heat of the summer graciously allowed me an unshrouded view of his hunky body. No need for covers in this bedroom, thank you Mr. Summer Heat.

As I laid there feeling all warm and right, my eyes trailed around the room, which was quite visible in the spotlight of the moon. Pausing at one of the matted photographs on the wall, I curiously cocked my head to the side. A huge smile spread across my face as it dawned on me, that among the black and white artwork that peppered the wall, one was of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. What a coincidence. I had never noticed it before. I had once read that when a person experiences a coincidence in their life, it’s God winking at them. It’s like knowing that you are in the right place at the right time and that's exactly how I felt in this moment laying next to Patrick. Sometimes the universe whispers to us, and we need to remind ourselves, not to forget to click the shutter. I looked over at him again and wished I had a camera to freeze this moment for eternity much like the photographs on the wall.

We are all looking for something, for someone, for anyone, until the right person comes along, as if sent on a moonbeam from heaven above, and we can see through ourselves and back again in the eyes of our true love. I smiled and nestled into the sheets, hoping the movement might stir him to wakefulness.

I loved the look of his skin, stretched tightly over a pack of muscles, calling for my touch. Last night had been incredible. He knew how to work magic on me and touch the right spot at the right time. Gazing at his hard body stretched out on the bed, his tan skin contrasting against the white sheets, I raked my teeth over my lower lip. I couldn’t resist any longer. Why was he sleeping and I couldn’t? I reached over and gingerly touched him on his bulging bicep, but he just rolled away from me onto his side. Apparently, jet lag had not affected his sleeping pattern as much as mine, since he had only been in Paris for a few days. I pulled my hand back, sighing with frustration as I rolled off my propped up arm onto my back, flopping my head against the pillow.

Interview with Gus Pelagatti

Gus Pelagatti is author of The Wicked Wives.

Holly: Hello, Gus! Would you mind telling us a little about yourself?

Gus Pelagatti: I’m a practicing trial lawyer with over 47 years of experience trying civil and criminal cases, including homicide.

I’m a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, limited to attorneys who have been recognized as achieving a standard of excellence as a trial expert.
I’ve spent years researching the true story of the 1938 insurance scam murders, interviewing judges, lawyers, police and neighbors involved in the trials.

I was born and raised within blocks of the main conspirator’s tailor shop and the homes of many of the wives convicted of murdering their husbands.


Holly: When did you first realize you wanted to be an author?


Gus Pelagatti: I was born in 1938 at a time when Philadelphia citizens learned of the local poison murder scandals. Giorgio DiSipio, the book’s mastermind conspirator, had a tailor shop and apartment located two blocks from my family’s home in South Philadelphia.


As I grew up, I would often eavesdrop on adult conversation concerning the evil and unfaithful wicked wives. When I was old enough my mother explained the scandals to me.


I’ve always wanted to write a novel about these infamous wives and lovers.


Holly: Your first novel, The Wicked Wives is a crime and mystery novel. Can you tell us a little about this novel and its characters?


Gus Pelagatti: "Wicked Wives" is based on the true story of the 1938 Philadelphia murder scandals in which seventeen wives were arrested for murdering their husbands.

Mastermind conspirator Giorgio DiSipio, a stunning lothario and local tailor who preys upon disenchanted and unfaithful wives, convinces twelve of them to kill their spouses for insurance money.

The murder conspiracy is very successful until one lone assistant D.A., Tom Rossi, uncovers the plot and brings the perpetrators to justice.

"Wicked Wives" is a story made for Hollywood, combining murder, corruption, treachery, love, lust and phenomenal detail as it vividly captures Depression-era Philadelphia.


Holly: From what I understand this novel is based on a true story?


Gus Pelagatti: Yes. This novel is based upon the true story of Philadelphia’s notorious poison murder scandals of 1938.


Holly: Where can we purchase it at?


Gus Pelagatti: Amazon.com & Borders


Holly: Do you have any plans for another novel, maybe in 2012?

Gus Pelagatti: Yes. It’s a sequel to “The Wicked Wives” and is also a novel based on a true story. Entitled “Benito’s Gold,” the book takes place during World War II (1941-1945).

Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini had millions in gold, cash and jewels when he attempted to flee to Switzerland in 1945. Before he was executed, someone or group stole his entire treasure and murdered those who knew the thieves.

The book features two main characters from “The Wicked Wives” — Tom Rossi (who is now a U.S. Army major) and Hope Daniels.


Holly: Do you have anything you would like to say to your readers?


Gus Pelagatti: The wives were not tea totlers The novel is rated R..


Holly: Can you tell us a bit about your publishing experience?


Gus Pelagatti: This is my first novel.

Random Quickies!


Holly: Peppermint or Butterscotch?


Gus Pelagatti: Scotch whiskey


Holly: Do you use a bookmark, a stray piece of paper, or do you dog ear the page of your books?


Gus Pelagatti: Stray piece of paper


Holly: All time favorite book?


Gus Pelagatti: The Godfather


Holly: Do you know a movie or show that could compare to it?


Gus Pelagatti: No, but I’ve written a screen play of The Wicked Wives.

Crystal Connor

About the Author:

So...a little about me.

I grew up telling spooky little campfire style stories at slumber parties. We’d make a tent in the bedroom, and the only source of light would be from a flashlight that was about to die. I’d tell my tale of doom and then while everyone was jumping at the tree branch scraping against the window and I’d be sound asleep!

Living on a steady literary diet of Stephen King, Robin Cook, Dean R. Koontz and healthy doses of cinema masterpieces such as The Birds, Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone; along with writing short stories specializing in the Science Fiction & Horror genres since before Jr. high School, it surprised no one that I ended up...read more.

Find Crystal at: Her Blog | Facebook | Goodreads

Crystal Connor is author of The Darkness and Artificial Light, the first two novels in her Spectrum Trilogy, Yuletide Tales of Horror and short story The Ruins which was a runner-up selection of Crypticon Seattle’s 2010 writing contest.

Holly: Hi Crystal! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Crystal Connor: Hi, thank you so much for your time today! I’m a Washington State native and I love anything to do with monsters, bad guys, rogue scientific experiments, jewelry, sky-high high heel shoes & unreasonably priced hang bags. I’m also considering changing my professional title to ‘dramatization specialist’ because it’s so much more theatrical than being just a mere drama queen.

Holly: When did you first realize you wanted to be an author?

Crystal Connor: Not til later, like way later. I didn’t want to grow up and be a writer but because I was always entertaining my family and friends with creepy little stories it almost seems as if I naturally became a writer.

Holly: Your first novel in your Spectrum Trilogy, The Darkness, came out in 2011. Can you tell us a little about this novel?

Crystal Connor: Actually The Darkness was released in 2010, it’s the 2^nd printing that was released last year. The Darkness tells a tale about a little boy who was created in a science lab and the whole story revolves around this kid and the consequences of his existence. To make things worse there are two women who literary go to war over this little boy.

http://youtu.be/sNcDF79biZM

Holly: Where did the idea for The Darkness stem from?

Crystal Connor: It started as a short story, and at that time I wasn’t thinking about being published. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was ‘discovered,’ by an award-winning author who basically told me that I had better start taking my writing seriously. So I did and now here we are =D

Holly: You went on to publish the second of the trilogy this year, Artificial Light. Does this second novel follow the same characters as The Darkness?

Crystal Connor: Yes, plus we’re introduced to some more characters as well.

http://youtu.be/Kjh40iSOaws

Holly: If you could meet Stephen King, Robin Cook or Dean R. Koontz, which would you choose and why?

Crystal Connor: Oh my gosh you sure don’t make it easy do you, lol. I would want to meet all three. Stephen King because for one its Stephen King and even though he doesn’t know me, I feel like he is my writing instructor. When I want to try something new or unsure of my pacing or whatever it is I might be struggling with I always open up a book of his to see how he did it, then I do the same thing.

Dean R. Koontz for the same reasons, I’ve read more books by King than Koontz but I am compared to Koontz more than I am to King, I think that’s because the pacing is the same. When I read books by Koontz it feels like I’m in a car with someone who is spending recklessly down the freeway while weaving in and out of traffic.

I always get emails from people who’ve read The Darkness for the 2^nd time and they are so amazing at the little stuff they missed the 1^st time they read the book. The reason people miss so much during the 1^st reading is because they’re in a speeding car just hanging on for dear life…and that’s exactly what I want.

What I love about Robin Cook is that the monsters in his books are science and medicine and I can never get enough of that.

Holly: If you could live in one book by either author would it be a book by that author or a different one. Also which would book would you chose and why?

Crystal Connor: Pretty sneaky sis…Heck no! All those books are scary; I wouldn’t want to live in any of them. 

Holly: What attracts you to the horror/science fiction genre?

Crystal Connor: Like I said earlier I love, love, love monsters, bad guys, and rogue scientific experiments but it has to be more than just that. I prefer my entertainment to be psychologically terrorizing. For example think movies like The Fallen with Denzel Washington and The Skeleton Key with Kate Hudson.  

Holly: Do you have the third novel in the Spectrum Trilogy in the works yet, and if so do you think it may be published this year?

Crystal Connor: Yes, book III is currently in production but its not going to be released this year.

Holly: Are you working on anything else at the moment?

Crystal Connor: I am! My anthology, which features eight short stories and two novelettes, has a release scheduled for August of this year. And there are two books in the works.

Holly: Do you have anything you would like to say to your readers?

Crystal Connor: I actually get a lot of my fan mail that really means a lot so I take the time to read and respond to them. I would just like to thank everyone for their support, fan page likes, facebook friend request and emails.

Holly: In your book, what is the scariest TV/movie monster?

Crystal Connor: OoooOOooo, the scariest villain in my books have got to be the women =D

Holly: All time favorite horror move?

Crystal Connor: This is such a hard question it’s almost not fair! Lol, as of right now it’s a tie between The Collector (2009) and the 2007 French horror movie À l'intérieur (Inside)

Interview with W.J. May

W.J. May is author of Rae of Hope the first novel in her Chronicles of Kerrigan series.

Holly: Hello Wanita! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

W.J. May: I’m a writer, a wife, a worker, a whiner (not to be confused with wine-o), wacky, wonderful, a Wanita with a W, and a Mommy. 

Holly: When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

W.J. May: In kindergarten when I held my first pencil and learned to spell my name :)  I also wanted to be an artist.  I’m just kidding!  I’ve always love reading and writing and using my imagination – shame I never wrote all the stories I made up on my paper route as a kid.  I did write then, but I “officially” started writing the Christmas after my dad passed away.  It was a bit of a healing process and also me wanting to do something I’d always wanted to do.

Holly: Can you tell us a little about your novel Rae of Hope?

W.J. May: Rae (the main character) wakes up on her 16^th birthday with a tattoo on her back.  She finds out that the tattoo actually has a supernatural-like ability and that she’s not the only kid with a special tattoo.  She also finds out that her parents where inked and after shaking the family tree up a bit, she learns more about her past than she ever bargained for.

Holly: What was your inspiration for this novel?

W.J. May: My dad.  One of the last things he told me was to chase after the things I wanted to do and not wait till I’m older, as life goes by in the blink of an eye. So… Rae of Hope was born.

Holly: You have another novel in this series coming out August 15^th, 2012, the third set to come out August 15^th, 2013 and the fourth set to come out August 15^th, 2014. All of the books follow along with the same main character in the first novel, or do we have different main characters in each novel?

W.J. May: Rae Kerrigan is the main character in all four.  There are a few key characters in all four books, with each having a few new ones as well.  Each book is different as well.  Where the first focusses on Rae at school, the next focusses more on her ability, the third on her… maybe I should shush and let the readers read to find out for themselves :)

Holly: Are four books all you plan for the The Chronicles of Kerrigan series?

W.J. May: Funny, I was asked this same question at a book signing today.  There could be more, I can’t say that I have full closure with Rae’s story yet, but then again it might also be complete and the readers have had enough :)  I guess we’ll see in the next year or two.

Holly: You have three other books in the works right now, two in the editing process and all YA-Fantasy. Do you think you may ever go into a different genre?

W.J. May: I can’t see myself moving away from YA, but I do enjoy Paranormal and Sci-fi so I maybe move around in all three (shoot, why not combine all three?!)  Shadow of Doubt, is more of an older YA but I am thinking of doing some edits and making the MC’s younger and also more evolved in different ways.  Its actually fun to come back to an MS that you haven’t worked on in a while and go through it again.

Holly: Do you have any idea when Shadow of Doubt, Radium Halos and The Seventh Mark might be published?

W.J. May: Seventh Mark is going through edits with my agent right now… so it should start being shopped around with publishers near the end of spring.  Hopefully that’ll be published next year then.
 

Shadow of Doubt is going to go through some more edits and then out.

Radium Halos is still a WIP, with Rae of Hope and the series, I just haven’t had as much time as I would like to get her finished :)  Hopefully soon as I love that story!!

Holly: Are the novels a series of their own are they stand alone titles?

W.J. May: They are all series – except Shadow of Doubt.  There is the possibility of having spin off characters tell their story.

Holly: Where can we purchase your work(s)?

W.J. May: Rae of Hope is on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Chapters, and other online locations.  I even saw someone selling copies on Ebay!

Holly: Do you have anything you would like to say to your readers?

W.J. May: Thanks for loving words so much you want to read books and fall in love with other peoples stories.  :)

Holly: What do you like to do when you're not writing?

W.J. May: Relax, play with my 3 kids (who are 6, 4 and 21mths), hang out with the hubby, have a good laugh, watch movies, read, play sport, walk the dog… wait a minute – that’s what I do everyday, along with work and house cleaning! 

Thanks so much for letting me stop by!  I really appreciate the cyber-visit and hanging out with you!!  Have a fantastic spring.
