Sheeee’s baaaack….J.C. McKenzie

Hello everyone, I’m pleased to once again welcome back, J.C. McKenzie.
J.C. comes here today with the release of her new book, CARPE DEMON, book three in her CARUS SERIES.
And if you read to the end of my blog, you’ll see that she also brings with her a rafflecopter draw for a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card.

Ever notice “Demon” in the word Pandemonium

Ever notice “Demon” in the word Pandemonium

Blurb:

As an ambassador with the Supernatural Regulatory Division, Andy McNeilly is responsible for acting as the Liaison for the Vancouver Vampire horde. The problem? She detests the Vampire Master, and the SRD can’t discover the beast she keeps locked inside.

After a menacing Demon throws an important Vampire event into chaos, Andy finds herself sniffing out crime scenes to identify and locate the mystery fiend from the nether realm. What she learns chills her bones.

Threatened by the Master Vampire to deal with the Demon, Andy’s complicated personal life doesn’t make things easier. She’s willing to risk her life and pride to keep loved ones safe. But how can she make a choice that will break one heart…and complete another?

CARPE DEMON follows the wonderfully entertaining SHIFT HAPPENS and BEAST COAST. And if the names alone don’t have you wanting to read J.C.’s books, here is an excerpt from CARPE DEMON:

The Demon’s grin widened. Standing a foot away from him with no room to maneuver and nothing to separate us, the serrated details of his shiny enamel glared at me.

My fingertips tingled as I started to shift.

Not fast enough.

The Demon lunged. His long nimble fingers closed around my neck as I shot my hands out, inside his arms, and dug my claws into his face. My elbows pushed against the insides of his arms. His hold should’ve weakened, but this Demon possessed uncanny strength. His frame stretched, growing to almost eight feet in height and giving his body an emaciated appearance. He pulled me close, his nose touching mine. I wrenched to the side, but my toes dangled above the floor.

“Bola sends his regards,” he said, his breath hitting my face.

My gums stung as fangs protruded and I hissed at him, ready to make the full change and get my fight on. I yanked on the mountain lion and spurred her into action.

“By all means, little nugget, shift into one of your animals.” He gnashed his sharp teeth together. “I love to rend the flesh of livestock, to mutilate the bodies of creatures, and to smash the bones of beasts.”

Getting ready to say Good-bye

The very top of my site, says “Writer, reader and crafter”…what it doesn’t say, my most important job, is mother. And all that is about to change in 18 weeks. Of course, I’ll still be a mother, but on August 27 The Daughter (my baby!) is leaving for university.

The Daughter 2005

Sure, she’ll be home at Christmas and in the summer…I hope…but my life is in for a big change. As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I spend a lot of time driving The Daughter to volleyball practice or tournaments. This year she is also coaching, and I drive her and stay to watch that team, too.

The Daughter will be playing volleyball at Acadia University, but with it being a 2 hour, $500 flight away (or 20+ hour drive), I’ll be watching webcasts from the comfort of my sofa. No long drives or overnight stays in hotels.

I’ve already got a few friends lined up…2 for craft nights, one for coffee, and one for a monthly movie night. Things to keep me busy. People to fill in for the much-missed Daughter.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for her. Envious, in fact. But, I’m counting the weeks already with tears in my eyes. So there will probably be quite a few posts about The Daughter between now and then, and I hope that is okay with all of you.

Since I’ve already done a lot of rambling, I’ll keep my first story short.

On Sunday, I booked our flights from Toronto, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia. I had 2 computers on the go, and my mom on the phone. I’m booking mine with credit card points, The Daughter only needs a one way ticket, and my mom was booking her round-trip flight at her end. (Just to make sure we all got the same flight.) I pushed submit on both The Daughter and my flight, and then frantically yelled at my mom “Oh my god, I just booked The Daughter on the wrong flight. I’ve got to go!” Yep, I did. Mom and I were on the 9am, The Daughter on the 7am. Hands shaking and on the verge of tears (there will be lots of those!) I called Westjet to beg for help. Luckily the change was quick and free of charge since it was within the first 24 hours. (First 2.4 minutes, in fact).

And so the journey begins…

Cover Reveal…REAL LOVE

I just received the preliminary cover art for my next release, REAL LOVE, and I couldn’t wait to share it.
This cover, created by the wonderful RJ Morris, is unlike my other covers but reflects the fun & flirty nature of the CANDY HEARTS SERIES.
REAL LOVE, and other books in the CANDY HEARTS SERIES, are currently schedule for release around Valentine’s 2016.
