<b>COMING SEPTEMBER 12 2013</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Teaser</span></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I stood in the hush of the darkened room, the long
drapes pushed to the side as I leaned with one hand pressed to the wall just at
the side of the window. I stared out, watching as winter pressed down on the
city. Snowflakes fluttered toward the ground as they were set free from the
inky sky. Through the haze, lights glimmered, and far below, the city was still
alive even though night had grown late.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
My past seemed to echo from the streets, the memories so
thick they almost seemed alive. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I looked over my shoulder and let my eyes wander over
the one who inhabited them all. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Elizabeth lay facing me, twisted just to the side, her
blonde hair spread out over the pillow where she rested her head. Her chest
lifted and fell in a slow cadence, her soft breaths released into the air. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
The deepest kind of devotion quickened my heart and
pumped fiercely through my veins. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it was hard to believe we’d come this far,
that this beautiful girl lying across the room from me had been strong enough
to forgive me for the greatest mistake I’d ever made, that she was good enough
to look past my failure, and that she had the capacity to lie there now, lost
in sleep, free of fear and full of love. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
A wistful smile tugged at my mouth as my gaze traveled
over her perfect body. She wore a short nightgown, the creamy material bunched
up over her hip, the length of her legs fully exposed. One arm was draped over
her head, and the other was stretched across the sheets in the spot where I had
held her in my arms as she’d fallen asleep. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Emotion squeezed my lungs, knocked at my ribs, just as
strong as the desire that lifted in a crushing swell before it settled as a
subdued ache in the pit of my stomach. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Elizabeth would never stop stealing my breath. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Only because she possessed my soul. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
As if she felt the intensity of my stare, she stirred.
Those brown eyes blinked open as she adjusted to the dimness in the room. A
soft, sleepy smile crept to her lips when she found me watching her in the
shadows. She ran her hand over the sheets on my side of the bed. “What are you
doing way over there when you’re supposed to be in bed with me?” she whispered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“Just thinking.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
She lifted up onto her elbow. “And what are you thinking
about?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
My mouth tipped up in a slow grin as I made my way over
to her. She rolled onto her back just as I crawled over her, bracing myself on
my hands and knees. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“Thinking about you. What else would I be thinking
about?” I trailed the back of my index finger down her cheek and along the
underside of her jaw. At her chin, I twisted my hand to drag my fingers all the
way down her neck to the cleft between her breasts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
A soft breath parted her lips. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“You consume me, Elizabeth,” I said. “Every second.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Trembling, she reached up to cup my jaw. “Always.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
That word shot straight through me, her touch a firestorm
that singed me from the inside out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
And she had it right. I wanted her. Always. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I pressed my hands into the bed on either side of her
head, dipped to caress her mouth with mine in the same second her fingers wove
through my hair. I could feel her heart hammering, pounding just as hard as
mine, this thrum of need spinning through us with the slightest touch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
It’d always been that way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Always. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I rocked and Elizabeth moaned, our bodies pitching and
lifting and seeking, the soft skin of her inner thighs like strokes of fire as
they brushed against mine. Our tongues caressed and every last inch of my body
hardened. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
God, there was nothing in this world that felt so good. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I pulled back, one hand gripping the fabric at her hip
as I searched her face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“Elizabeth, I don’t want to wait. I know that’s what we
planned, but being here, in this city, it just makes me think of all the time I
wasted, and I don’t want to waste any more.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Shock rolled through her, and brown eyes snapped up to
lock on mine. “What do you mean?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“All of it, Elizabeth…waiting to get married…waiting to
add to our family. I want it all…and now…because I want it with you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“Christian—”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“Don’t say anything now. I just want you to think about
it.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
She grabbed my face. “I don’t need to think about it.
I’m ready for this. Ready for us to move on.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Relief and joy escaped me in a throaty groan. It was all
I wanted, to spend my life with her, to spend it with our daughter, to live for
my family, to watch grow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“Oh my God, Elizabeth.” I dropped to my elbows, brought
us closer, our kiss frenzied between our words.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“Christian.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
“I love you so much…so much.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I sucked at her bottom lip, kiss her at the edge of her perfect
mouth, dropped to feast along the line of her jaw.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
My nose got lost behind her ear, in her hair, in the softness
of her skin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I burned. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Elizabeth arched, silently begged.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
I rose to one elbow and grabbed her left hand, kissed
the ring she allowed me to place on her finger. “Forever,” I promised against
it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
Her heart thudded a little more. “Forever,” she said. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">
And I couldn’t wait for forever to begin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Hi Everyone! I’m so very excited to
have the opportunity to give you a first peek at <i>Come To Me Quietly</i>, the first in my upcoming series, <i>Closer</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I received some really incredible
news that I want to share with you all!! <i>Come
To Me Quietly</i> will be published with New American Library/Penguin as part
of a two-book deal and should come out no later than early 2014—just a little
bit longer than first anticipated, but I do hope it will be worth the wait. This
will be the first time any of my books have been widely distributed in print to
bookstores, and I can’t wait for the chance for more readers to have access to <i>Come To Me Quietly</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">AND the good news is since <i>Come To Me Quietly</i> will be pushed back,
you all are going to get more of Christian Davidson sooner rather than later. The
sequel of Christian and Elizabeth’s story from <i>Lost to You</i> and <i>Take This
Regret</i> will be coming late summer. Stay tuned </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">But first let’s take a closer
look at my latest working manuscript, <i>Come
To Me Quietly</i>. I can’t even wait to get Jared and Aleena into your hands.
Jared Holt has absolutely taken over my heart and mind, and I hope you fall in
love with him just as hard as I have. <i>Come
To Me Quietly</i> will be packed with all the emotion you’ve come to expect
from my novels, but it’s also a whole lot sexier and much <i>Closer. </i>So here you go—the complete synopsis for <i>Come To Me Quietly</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Aleena Moore is content with her
life. She has goals and dreams and an easy smile. She also has a secret she
holds locked inside. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Jared
Holt believes he doesn’t deserve to love or be loved. He destroys everything he
touches. Haunted by the mistake that shattered his life, he’s fled from the
memory of that pain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Jared
doesn’t know why he’s compelled to return, but finds himself drawn back to the
place where it all began. The exact place where it ended. When he runs into his
childhood best friend, Aleena’s older brother Christopher, he agrees to share
Christopher and Aleena’s apartment while he looks for a place of his own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Aleena
is no longer the little girl Jared remembers from his past and evokes feelings
in him he never wanted to feel again. Terrified of destroying her, he fights to
keep her away. But her touch is something he can’t resist—the touch that sealed
his fate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Their
pasts are intertwined and their futures uncertain. The only truths they know
are the secrets they whisper in the night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
Dashed lines blur until they become a solid line. My
bones vibrate from the thousands of miles I’ve spent straddling this leather
seat, the muscles in my right arm screaming from the hours my hand has been
locked on the throttle. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<br /></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
But I don’t stop. I can’t, and I don’t know why.
Something in my gut spurs me forward. I plough ahead. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="ChapterFormat">
Hot air blasts my face and my hair thrashes in

I bite back a bitter laugh. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="ChapterFormat">
Uncontrolled chaos. That’s exactly how they described
me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">

<div class="ChapterFormat">
The desert sky goes on forever, an ocean of the deepest
blue. The city rises like a beacon in the distance. Because I am drawn. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<br /></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<i>What am I doing</i>? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
<br /></div>
<div class="ChapterFormat">
There is nothing here for me. I know it. I’ve already
destroyed it all. I destroy everything I touch. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />Let's welcome Nicky as she shares a little bit about her brand new book, <i>Sophie's Run</i>, and the lyrics that are perfect for it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hey A.L.,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thank you so much for having me back on your blog with a
music feature to celebrate the launch of my second book, Sophie’s Run. Hooray! J<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As you know, the Rock Star Romance Trilogy tells the story
of the turbulent and by no means straightforward romance of Sophie, the girl
next door, and her favorite rock star, the legendary singer, Dan Hunter.
Sophie’s Run sees the two not-quite-lovers continue their friendship in a
perhaps… unexpected way. There’ll be glamor, glitz, intrigue, romance, rock, a
wedding or two, an exploding cake, a fire, a betrayal… You got it! Here’s the
blurb:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Her famous star remains her rock while life takes her on a little
detour…<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Who says that the road
towards true love is straight and even?
Sophie is certainly discovering that it is anything but.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So she has finally
found the man of her dreams! Well… she
knows who he is, even though she hasn’t actually quite met him yet. But she misses her opportunity, and then her
life goes crazy. Rock star and
ex-fiancé, Dan, keeps getting in the way of her new romance—even if he is just
trying to be helpful. A fire, an
impromptu mini-trip with Dan, and a dreaded wedding later, Sophie is still
struggling to meet the love of her life.
Then, just as she is getting it together with her perfect man, best
friend Rachel commits an act of unspeakable betrayal.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sophie has had
enough. Confused and distraught, she
decides that it is time for radical change.
Surprising herself and shocking her friends, she embarks on a secret
journey and eventually gets her life back on track.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sounds intriguing? Well, I think it is. But here’s the
thing. Dan finds this situation extremely difficult. He’s really suffering. And
this song, written and performed by UK rockers FM, one of my all-time favorite
bands, could almost—<i>almost—</i>be the <b>theme song for Dan in <i>Sophie’s Run</i></b>. Personally, I love, love, love the song. The band
perform it live to this day and it gives me goosebumps every time without fail.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We
play a game of touch and go<br />
Your door is open but your heart is closed<br />
I heal your hurts and pay the price<br />
You walk away, you don't think twice<br />
<br />
Maybe I'm just a fool<br />
Who answer's when you call<br />
Baby, who else will shelter you,<br />
When the rain begins to fall<br />
<br />
Someday you'll coming running to me<br />
When you know it's a prison, being free<br />
Someday you'll stop chasing your dreams<br />
Someday you'll come running<br />
<br />
Too much of you, I live without<br />
Our bodies speak, but not our mouths<br />
I can see his shadow in your eyes,<br />
But I don't ask where you've been tonight<br />
<br />
I always pick up the pieces<br />
Everytime you fall apart<br />
Baby, you know that I keep tripping<br />
On the pieces of my heart<br />
<br />
Someday you'll coming running to me<br />
When you know it's a prison, being free<br />
Someday you'll stop chasing your dreams<br />
Someday you'll come running<br />
<br />
When the wind blows colder,<br />
No one to care, no one to hold you<br />
Love's not a road of no returning<br />
Just look around<br />
The fire’s still burning<br />
<br />
Someday you'll coming running to me<br />
When you know it's a prison, being free<br />
Someday you'll stop chasing your dreams<br />
Someday you'll come running<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Lost to You </i>is here! Writing <i>Lost to You</i> had to have been the best writing experience I've had. There was nothing like getting back into Christian and Elizabeth's head without all the baggage, to watch them fall in love, to see where it all started. Christian just undid me on this one. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Music is always a source of inspiration for me when I'm writing, and every time this song came on, I was struck with how perfectly it fit Christian and Elizabeth's story. I hope you all enjoy a very special Lost in Lyrics as we celebrate Lost to You. </div>

Okay guys!!! I'm excited to reveal the cover to my upcoming novella,<i> Lost to You</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The prequel to <i>Take This Regret</i>, <i>Lost to You</i> gives a little glimpse into Christian and Elizabeth's world when they first meet in New York. It's a little lighter than what I typically write. I figured it was time to give you all a breather from the heavy and focus on the sweet moments and the underlying fears these two felt when they first came together. Hope you enjoy!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s not a bad plan for someone with a hidden,

sixteen-year-old Rena Moon strives for a life beyond working herself to death

she’s willing to kill to protect what’s precious to her. For once, the Overlord
isn’t holding all the power, but can Rena live with being reduced to what she’s

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">FBI analyst Kassidy Bishop is assigned to the “For You” killer’s task force after a series of sadistic murders bearing the same signature arise in different parts of the country.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The homicides are both calculated and savage, occurring in different states, but bearing the same signature: the words “for you” scribbled at each crime scene. The case chills Kassidy, bringing back memories of her own encounter with a violent criminal five years earlier. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kassidy’s mentor, legendary agent Talia “The Confessor” Crossen knows the task force assignment is Kassidy’s chance to prove to her colleagues that she belongs in the Behavior Analysis Unit. For five years, other FBI agents and profilers scoffed at Kassidy’s appointment to the BAU, believing she was only offered the position in exchange for her silence about the brutal assault that almost killed her. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The stakes rise when the task force links the killer’s signature to Kassidy. As more and more bodies turn up, Kassidy must delve into her past and the mysterious death of her twin sister, which holds the key to uncovering the killer’s identity. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The closer Kassidy comes to finding the killer, the closer she comes to a deadly confrontation that could cost her everything—including her own life.</span></div>

Synopsis: From the bestselling author of Pulled and Take This Regret comes a gripping new tale of loss and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
William has spent six years running from his past and the last eight months trying to rid his mind of the dreams that increasingly haunt his nights. Trapped in a world of false ambitions and feigned affections, William knows he’s reached a breaking point and something’s going to give.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maggie had lived her entire life without hope until one man showed her what it meant to be loved. He’d been her light in a lifetime of darkness. Six years ago, that darkness stole him away. Without him, she’s surrendered herself to an existence she doesn’t know how to escape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the family William left behind is struck by tragedy, he is called back to the one place he’s sworn to never return to again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a moment that will change his life forever, William comes face to face with the girl who, with one look, captured his heart. He is unable to ignore the buried desires and the hope for the future they’d once believed they’d have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now William is ready to fight to take back what had been stolen from him six years before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But he never imagined what that fight might cost him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A.L. Jackson gives you an intimate look into the lives of a family bound by an unseen connection in this contemporary romance with a supernatural twist.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">London and her teenage
friends live in a reprocessed world. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Confined
within Capital City’s
concrete walls, London
has done the impossible and the illegal. She’s created something <i>New</i>- a song. But her mentor, club owner
Pauly, is not impressed. Since the historic Energy Crisis forced everyone
behind walls generations ago, the Tycoons have ensured there is truly nothing
new allowed under the sun. Pauly warns London
to keep her song to herself, if she knows what’s good for her. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What
he doesn’t know is that London is keeping an even bigger secret: she dreams.
And she’s not alone. London’s
band-mates and friends have begun dreaming as well, seeing themselves in “night
pictures” as beings from another world. As <i>Otherborn</i>,
they must piece together the story of their astral avatars, the Others<i>, </i>in order to save their world from a
dreamless, hopeless future. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When
Pauly is murdered and an Otherborn goes missing, London realizes someone is hunting them down.
Escaping along the Outroads, they brave the deserted Houselands with only their
dreams to guide them. Can they find their friend before the assassin finds
them? Will being Otherborn save their lives, or destroy them?</span></span></div>

Today I bring you a very special Lost in Lyrics in honor of the release of THE MISTAKEN by my Sapphire Star Sister, Nancy S. Thompson. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off, huge congratulations to Nancy on the release of her debut novel, THE MISTAKEN. THE MISTAKEN is truly a phenomenal book. This uniquely woven thriller had my heart racing the way a good thriller always does AND features a swoon-worthy protagonist to sustain that romantic craving I have whenever I read. So yeah, loved it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, now on to the LYRICS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So many authors write to music or listen to get inspired or find the right mood, but there are very few I know who have actually written a book inspired by a song itself. For Nancy, that was not the case.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When asked about her inspiration for THE MISTAKEN, Nancy says, "...when it’s sunny, I jump in my car, put the top down, hook up my iPod and go for a drive, usually around beautiful Lake Sammamish. Last spring during one of these rare moments, I heard a song that I’d downloaded for the first time. It was Hurricane by 30 Seconds to Mars. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The haunting lyrics and melody really struck a chord in me. The chorus asks, “Tell me would you kill to save a life? Tell me would you kill to prove you’re right?” Well, that really got me thinking. What could possibly make someone kill, someone who always navigated on the straight and narrow path of righteousness? Could a truly good person be driven to do something against their very nature? That is the premise behind my novel and where it all started."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't come up with many songs as haunting and as sexy as Hurricane. I mean, who doesn't love this song? I feared I'd run out of excuses to watch this video...but no...thank you Nancy for finding inspiration in the lyrics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's enjoy some Jared, shall we?</div>

No matter how many times that you told me you wanted to leave<br />
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breathe<br />
No matter how many nights that you lie wide awake to the sound of poison rain<br />
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?<br />
As days go by, the night's on fire<br />
<br />
Tell me would you kill to save a life?<br />
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?<br />
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn<br />
This hurricane's chasing us all underground<br />
<br />
No matter how many deaths that I die I will never forget<br />
No matter how many lives that I live, I will never regret<br />
There is a fire inside of this heart<br />
And a riot about to explode into flames<br />
Where is your God? Where is your God? Where is your God?<br />
<br />
Ooooooo-ooohhh Ooooooo-ooohhh<br />
<br />
Do you really want...<br />
Do you really want me?<br />
Do you really want me dead,<br />
Or alive to torture for my sins?<br />
<br />
Do you really want...<br />
Do you really want me?<br />
Do you really want me dead,<br />
Or alive to live a lie?<br />
<br />
Tell me would you kill to save a life?<br />
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?<br />
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn<br />
This hurricane's chasing us all underground<br />
<br />
The promises we made were not enough (Never play the game again)<br />
The prayers that we have prayed were like a drug (Never gonna hit the air)<br />
The secrets that we sold were never known (Never sing a song for you)<br />
The love we had, the love we had, we had to let it go.<br />
(Never giving in again, Never giving in again)<br />
<br />
Tell me would you kill to save a life?<br />
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?<br />
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn<br />
This hurricane's chasing us all underground<br />
<br />
Whoa, This hurricane [x3]<br />
<br />
Whoa<br />
Do you really want...<br />
Do you really want me?<br />
Do you really want me dead,<br />
Or alive to torture for my sins?<br />
<br />
Do you really want...<br />
Do you really want me?<br />
Do you really want me dead,<br />
Or alive to live a lie?<br />

Vengeance tastes sweet the day Tyler Karras pledges his wife's killer to sex-traffickers in San Francisco's Russian Mafia. In exchange for the woman, they’ll finally let Ty’s brother walk free and leave the business for good—with his debt wiped clean and his heart still beating. But when Ty mistakenly targets the wrong woman, deal or no deal, he’s forced to protect them all from the very enemy he's unleashed. </div>

<br />
Today I'm excited to share with my Sapphire Star Publishing Sister, Nicky Wells, in the cover reveal celebration of <i>Sophie's Run</i>, which is Book Two in The Rock Star Romance Trilogy. If you all haven't read the first Sophie's Turn, it's a lighthearted, fun romance with (ahem) a really hot rock star.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Sophie’s Run</i><br />
<br />
Part 2 in the Rock Star Romance Trilogy<br />
<br />
Her famous star remains her rock while life takes her on a little detour…<br />
<br />
Who says that the road toward true love is straight and even? Sophie is certainly discovering that it is anything but.<br />
<br />
So she has finally found the man of her dreams. Well…she knows who he is, even though she hasn’t actually quite met him yet. When she misses her opportunity, her life goes crazy. Rock star and ex-fiancé, Dan, keeps getting in the way of her new romance—even if he is just trying to be helpful. A fire, an impromptu mini-trip with Dan, and a dreaded wedding later, Sophie is still struggling to meet the love of her life. Just as she is getting it together with her perfect man, best friend Rachel commits an act of unspeakable betrayal. And to top it all, her new boyfriend leaves her lying in the mud.<br />
<br />
Sophie has had enough. Confused and distraught, she decides that it is time for radical change. Surprising herself and shocking her friends, she embarks on a secret journey that eventually gets her life back on track.<br />
<br />
Coming from Sapphire Star Publishing on 7 February 2013!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Happy Book Birthday to my Sapphire Star Publishing Sister, <a href="http://www.sapphirestarpublishing.com/danamason" target="_blank">Dana Mason</a>, on the release of her debut novel, <i>Dangerous Embrace</i>, a romantic thriller! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
A little about <i>Dangerous Embrace</i>: Sarah Jennings has the perfect quiet life, exactly what she
wants. It only takes one act of violence to remind her that safety and security
are an illusion, but Mark Summors is no illusion. He promises to protect her, and
that scares Sarah more than anything. When she agrees to let him help her, she
doesn’t know just how important of a role he’ll play in her future or how her
past will come back to threaten them both.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since you all know how fond of music and lyrics I am, I asked Dana to share with all any special songs for Dangerous Embrace. Dana says, "If Mark were to write a song for Sarah, if there were any words he could say to her to convince her to be with him, these lyrics would be those words."</div>

Lyrics to Home, by Phillip Phillips<br />
Written by Drew Pearson and Greg Holden<br />
<br />
Hold on, to me as we go<br />
As we roll down this unfamiliar road<br />
And although this wave is stringing us along<br />
Just know you’re not alone<br />
Cause I’m going to make this place your home<br />
Settle down, it’ll all be clear<br />
Don’t pay no mind to the demons<br />
They fill you with fear<br />
The trouble it might drag you down<br />
If you get lost, you can always be found<br />
<br />
Just know you’re not alone<br />
Cause I’m going to make this place your home<br />
<br />
Settle down, it’ll all be clear<br />
Don’t pay no mind to the demons<br />
They fill you with fear<br />
The trouble it might drag you down<br />
If you get lost, you can always be found<br />
<br />
Just know you’re not alone<br />
Cause I’m going to make this place your home</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But sadly, it wasn't all fun and games, although it was ALL interesting. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now I don’t want to bore any readers out there, so bear with
me. There’s a little love for you at the end (go ahead - skim down
to get to the good stuff!) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The conference itself was fantastic. We brought home a lot
of great information, although the information presented was definitely geared
more toward the publisher. As I sat there, I had to think, <i>As an author, how can I apply this to what I do on a day-to-day basis? What
can I take home to share with other writers and authors?</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Almost every speaker mentioned something about metadata or
analytics or SEO or. . .Well, you get the point. There was a lot of technical
talk going on. And while it applies to us as writers, I felt one speaker in particular did a great job of reaching out to us. Jon Fine from
Amazon got up to talk and the guy was just cool. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the things that really stood out to me was how much
he stressed the importance of our Amazon Author Pages. How many of you out
there have one? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Guess what? If you’re a published author on Amazon, then you
have one too! They’re automatically generated for any author who has a book for
sale on Amazon. The problem Jon finds is not enough authors are updating them.
He said as authors, we should consider these our “Landing Pages.” This is where
a searcher is going to be directed whenever they do a search for you. This
means you should stock it with as much information as you can and update it
OFTEN.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Be sure you have your profile completely filled out. Upload
video, chats, and reviews. Connect your Twitter feeds and your blog. You should
consider this page as important as your personal website, and allow the two to
work together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
He also gave us some cool news—coming soon to our Amazon
Author Pages will be Facebook, so they’re providing us yet another tool.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Amazon Author Pages are about connecting with your reader,
so be sure they have the tools right there on the page to connect with you on
any of their favorite social media sites. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So what did Jon have to say about the Amazon reader and how important
you are? Jon says, “Customer reviews can and will take the place of editorial
reviews.” Your voice is quickly becoming more important than that of a
newspaper or magazine reviewer. You are in control of what you read and what
you love, and other readers value your opinion. The reader is the most important
person in all of this, because it is you who will ultimately hold our books in
your hands.<o:p></o:p></div>

Today we're celebrating the release of <i>Sophie's Turn</i>, the first in the Rock Star Romance trilogy by Nicky Wells. I've been anxiously awaiting the release of <i>Sophie's Turn </i>because...well, let's be honest, what girl doesn't love a rock star?<br />
<br />
Nicky's love of music is no secret, and I couldn't think of anything more fitting than to have a special Lost in Lyrics dedicated to Nicky and the song that kept her writing <i>Sophie's Turn</i>.<br />
<br />
A huge congratulations to you, Nicky! I'm so proud and excited for you!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Hey, AL! Thanks so much for hosting me on
your blog on my launch day for <i>Sophie’s
Turn</i>. I love to be here and I’m intrigued by what you want me to talk
about…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The playlist for writing <i>Sophie’s Turn</i>, you ask. Well now, that’s an interesting one. I don’t really listen to music while I
write. I listen to music when I take
breaks, or need distraction. Does that
count? It does? Oh good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">So the playlist for taking breaks while
writing <i>Sophie’s Turn</i> consisted of a
whole variety of things, most of them rock based (there’s a surprise, right?). But I found myself digging out one
long-forgotten album in particular: the
unbeatable <i>Tough It Out </i>by UK
rockers, FM. There’s many a song on
there that would have me rock in the lounge, music at full volume, and the
album ranks among my top favourite albums of all times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The song that kept me going was the very
title track, <i>Tough it Out</i>. In fact, I owe quite a lot to <i>Tough it Out</i> over the years, not just
writing <i>Sophie’s Turn</i>, but coming to
England to begin with, biting my way through difficulties in degree courses,
jobs and relationships… you name it. I
don’t have a pep talk for myself, but I do have this, the ultimate “buck up and
get on with it song.” So here’s a big
thank you to FM, and the lyrics and audio/video for you. Hope you enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Oh, and PS:
Sophie’s obviously inherited quite a bit of the <i>Tough it Out </i>mentality from me.
And when she wavers, best friend Rachel will unfailingly step in and
tell her to get a grip!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
