Book Spotlight, Interview & Giveaway: Marigny Street by Annie Rose Welch

Marigny Street

Saving Angels Series #1

Annie Rose Welch

Genre: Contemporary Romance with a

strong element of paranormal

About the Book:

Do you believe in the power of dreams? 

Way down south on Marigny Street in the heart of New Orleans, the land of Catholic intercessions, purgatory, and supernatural superstitions, young Evangeline Chenier dreams of a radiant boy who saves her from a storm. She takes the dream seriously – in her family, dreams are sometimes more than dreams. Sometimes they foretell the future. Sometimes they create it. 
Years later, Eva is no longer the same wistful girl but a hardened woman who no longer believes in dreams. Losing faith in her gift, she becomes lost in a nightmare of emotion, mourning her son, separating from her husband, and stewing in a dead-end job. And then fate brings her an unlikely surprise: one of the most famous movie stars in the world, Gabriel Roberts. 

Caught by something in his eyes, Eva agrees to show him the real Big Easy on his last night in New Orleans—an evening that turns into four dreamy days spent recapturing lost faith and discovering a love neither expected. Realizing Gabriel is the boy from her childhood dream, Eva must leave everything behind—her husband, her family, her history, and the beautiful city she calls home—and gamble it all for the dream that has saved her on MARIGNY STREET.

1    MRP would like to extend a very warm welcome to Annie Rose Welch, author of Marigny Street. Annie, can you tell us who or what most influenced you to become a writer? 

      This is going to sound kind of strange, but my characters. I fell in love with my characters and their story. After Marigny Street was complete, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

      

      If you were to be left alone on an island, what three books would you take with you? 

      My Bible, P.S. I Love You, Bid Time Return.

      

      What are your most and least favorite movie genres? 

      My favorites: Drama, romance, romantic comedies, and just classic comedies. My least favorite: Horror. I used to love them, but now they just scare me!

         

      If you could choose any man for your next book cover, who would he be? 

      I’m not sure. It’s hard to visualize my characters as anyone but who I see in my thoughts.

            When you are on a deadline, what aspect of your ‘regular’ life suffers most? 

      Family meals. We eat out. A lot.

           What advice would you give aspiring authors? 

      This is so cliché, but never give up!

   

           What advice would you give seasoned writers? 

      Please give me some advice?

   

          When reading for pleasure, do you prefer a physical or electronic book? 

     Physical.

        From the first stroke of a pen (or laptop), how long did it take you get published? 

     I am self-published, but it took me five years to decide to release Marigny Street.

      Did you ever feel like calling it quits? 

     Yes, but again, going back to my advice. Never give up. I love my characters, my stories, writing, too much to ever stop.

      What did you do when you got your first contract? 

     The day Marigny Street was released, I celebrated! 

  

     Thank you so much for joining us today, Annie! We really enjoyed the visit. Good luck and great sales with Marigny Street.

Author Bio:

Born and raised in New Orleans, Annie has a habit of shortening her words and telling long stories. She speaks with a southern flair and cooks with it too. At the tender age of twenty- one, she hitched up her wagons (took her first plane ride) and moved out west to the big shake (California). Her writing career began one sleepless night when she imagined a gorgeous woman and a man with maniacal hair floating above her like lightening bugs falling from the sky. Curious about them, their story, and why they were floating around in her head, she sat down and penned (typed) her first novel, Marigny Street. A dream come true for her, she hasn't stopped writing since. She loves a damn good love story, always has, no matter what the genre. She is particularly moved by imperfect love that in its own unique way is perfect, the notion of love at first sight, soul mates, and things that are generally out of the norm.

When she's not writing she enjoys dabbling in photography and finding new, inspirational music to add to her collection. She currently (still) resides in the big shake (although her southern roots are calling her home) with her husband, daughter, and their two peculiar dogs, Boudreaux and Tabasco (who, call her crazy, bark with an accent).

Nora’s impending college graduation is a triumph over the dark incident in her past that changed her life and stopped her best friend’s.  Balancing school, work and her demented admirer at the diner is tough.  All she has is six more months, but it similar to walking a tightrope blindfolded.
Life-like dreams pull her into the 19th century world of Clayton.  A man who declares he’s her soul mate.  Even though, she’s decided against romance, the young witch finds herself drawn to the Irish healer, even hearing his voice in her head.

About the Author:

Rayna Noire is an author and a historian. The desire to uncover the truth behind the original fear of witches led her to the surprising discovery that people believed in magick in some form up to 150 years ago. A world that believed the impossible could happen and often did must have been amazing. With this in mind, Ms. Noire taps into this dimension, shapes it into stories about a Pagan family who really isn’t that different from most people. They do go on the occasional time travel adventures and magick happens.

Guest Blog and Book Spotlight: Wynter's Journey by Jennifer DeCuir

Wynter’s Journey 

by Jennifer DeCuir

Publisher: Crimson Romance

Genre: Contemporary Romance

(A 2^nd place winner in the 2013 ECO contest)

About the Book:

More Romance Please is happy to present some thoughts shared by author Jennifer DeCuir:

Building Scallop Shores

People have asked me where I got the idea for Scallop Shores, the small town series I write for Crimson Romance. I grew up in a small town. I modeled it after my own hometown. Easy peasy, right? But when I started to think about it, I realized that some of it came from the town itself, but some of it came from cherished memories – of places/businesses that no longer exist.

Where did Logan’s Bakery come from? That actually developed less from my own memories than from talks with my grandparents. My grandfather used to walk down to the bakery for coffee and a donut with his buddies, every weekday morning after he retired. So if Logan’s seems a bit old-fashioned, it is – based on memories that are close to fifty years old now. And I find that pretty cool.

In my newest release, Wynter’s Journey, readers are introduced to The Book Nook. I didn’t even realize I’d based this on a real bookstore until I stopped to think about it. Some of my fondest memories were of spending Friday evenings at the bookstore with my dad, while my mom took my sisters into the grocery store for the weekly shopping trip. I’d spend my precious allowance money on a new Nancy Drew book or one of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. It was so quiet in there. I’d plop down in a bean bag chair and be half done with the book before I’d even paid for it.

The little library where my character, Bree, is the children’s librarian has been replaced by a much bigger facility that I haven’t been lucky enough to visit…yet.

Gifford’s Grocery, the small town grocery store that’s first mentioned in Drawn to Jonah, is based on one of my first jobs. I worked in the deli and occasionally as a cashier at the local IGA for four years. The owner would sing Boyz II Men ballads to me over the loudspeaker, because he knew how embarrassed it made me. The store has long since closed, the owner retired and living in Florida. Folks no longer have to go two towns over for a real supermarket, as they finally have one of their own.

Do I sit down and draw out a map with each business, house and historic landmark clearly identified? Nope. I just take a stroll down memory lane. I don’t have a clear beginning and ending for the Scallop Shores series. I do have a couple more businesses that I want to go back and revisit in my mind. I love that I get to re-experience cherished memories just by creating the town of my youth. And if I can take readers along on my journey, possibly awakening some of their memories in the process, then that makes it all the better.

Welcome to Scallop Shores, Maine. Take a look around. Stay as long as you’d like. We’re glad you came to visit. J

Award winning author Roxanne Rhoads brings you ten more tales of supernatural seduction featuring demonic desires, wanton witches, voluptuous vampires, and ghosts with grave needs…

Four brand new, never published short stories have been combined with six previously published, freshly edited tales to give you a collection of hot paranormal erotica you can really sink your fangs into.


Scent of a Vampire
Aidan has searched several human lifetimes for his perfect mate. Now that he’s found her, he refuses to let go. He must make Gabrielle see they were destined to be together.

An off duty fire fighter encounters a sexy vampire in what he thought was an abandoned house.
The flames that ignite will leave them both scorched…and aching for more.

An Unexpected Evening
Samuel is a centuries-old vampire who prefers to be a recluse. He is always afraid of losing control and becoming the monster he once was. Falling in love with a young witch has pushed his boundaries and pulled him out of his comfort zone.
Katerina always encourages Samuel to be more open, to let loose, and to really "live" instead of only existing in the shadows.
One night, he finally grants her wish . . . in ways she never imagined.

Underneath the Fangs
Samuel is being framed for murder. Katerina knows he is not guilty but she has to convince Samuel that he is not a monster and that he is worthy of her love.

Cemetery Seduction
Abby, a half witch, half vampire whose powers go awry in a club, has to run, afraid that the Others, who are policing all human/magick interaction, might put her in jail. She ends up in a cemetery, jumps behind a bush and lands right on top of a very sexy ghost hunter.

No Place I'd Rather Be
Sonora is torn between a human and a vampire. How can she choose between the man who makes her feel safe and the vampire that makes her blood race? Sonora prays to the Goddess for guidance while harboring secret desires that her broody vampire, Brom, and her brawny human, Avery, can get past their jealousy and be willing to do more than just share the witch in the middle.
Can the Goddess grant Sonora's wish, or will she be stuck making an impossible choice?

Blood, Lust and Shadows
Vampire/succubus hybrid Allana is on the prowl looking for a bloody snack and a sexy energy boost. While strutting her stuff in a dark parking lot she encounters a yummy Latino who makes a lovely meal. She also encounters something else that puts her senses into overdrive.

Complete CircleLissette is a vampire who has lived with her succubus girlfriend, Cassandra, for a long time. She swore off relationships with men after being viciously raped by the vampire hunters who killed the love of her life and left her for dead.
Lissette and Cassandra only use men to get what they need, blood for Lissette and sexual energy for Cassandra. They are completely satisfied with their lives- until a mysterious stranger comes along.
For the first time in centuries Lissette wants a man. Why is she so drawn to him? What is he?
Much more than a mere mortal, Gabriel has been searching for Lissette and Cassandra for a very long time. They have what he needs, what no one else can give him.
But will they be willing to share?

A Package Deal
Chloe needs to get out of the city- fast. So she buys an old farmhouse out in the middle of nowhere- with one stipulation. The caretaker gets to stay. She readily agrees thinking it’s an old man that won’t give her any trouble.
Ash is definitely not what she expected.

My Demon Valentine
Elita wants to give her demon boyfriend a Valentine’s Day to remember. Connor was built for giving pleasure but Elita wants to turn the tables on that.
