Harcourte Vampyre Society - A Double Release on her New Series by Morgan Kelley!

Join Eternal Connections in welcoming the newest Morgan Kelley book!


It's official, folks! Morgan Kelley has done it again.

Many fans know Ms. Kelley for her best-selling FBI series and its multiple spin-offs. But some of you may not know that before Ethan, Elizabeth, and Callen took the FBI by storm that Jolie, Jacque, and Flynn were bound by book in the Harcourte Society. 

The Blood series has been re-vamped (no pun intended) and made better than ever! Those who are already familiar with our favorite vampyre couple and their human detective, will be pleased to know that the new versions have almost doubled in size!

That's twice as much love, murder, and mayhem in the Morgan Kelley world! That's a whole lot of sexy!

Hold on to your hats though kids, because not only is Dangerous Revelations now available on Amazon, but in just a few short days, on Friday, July 11th, book two, Dangerous Choices, will also be available for your sinfully delightful reading pleasure! That's almost 1000 pages to sink your teeth into.

These are the first two books in a ten book series. As of right now, Ms. Kelley is planning on releasing two a year, back-to-back, unless YOU demand otherwise. How can you get Morgan to release more than two a year, you ask? Simple. Just leave some love on Amazon once you finish reading the book! It's that simple!

*Please be advised that this series, along with all of Morgan Kelley's titles are considered "adult", and to follow the law in the state in which you live for age requirements on purchasing such titles.*

Dangerous Revelations ~ Book 1



Mistress Jolie Harcourte has lived a very long time.

She’s seen things come and go in her eight centuries, but one thing always surprises her- how humans and her kind can’t be left to their own devices.

When someone is killing humans and leaving their bodies scattered all over the town, there’s only one thing to do.

Inline image 1The right thing.

She has to help.

As an expert in deviant behavior, Jolie has volunteered to help the police solve this mess. Or, in this case, lead them astray while she ‘handles’ the situation. With her guardian by her side, she must navigate the slippery slope, that is a fine line between the truth and what goes bump in the night.

Everything seems in control until that fateful moment when she sees him.

Detective Flynn Brogan.

He’s trouble for women, and vampyres alike, but even more dangerous to the Harcourte society.

Why?

Because he’s about to find out the truth.

Now, it all comes down to trusting this man, chancing his betrayal, and catching the vampyre who’s risking them all.

One the truth is out, it can’t be bottled back up.

Dangerous Revelations are coming…



Now it’s a matter of who will survive. 








“I was a fool, Jacques. I never saw what was in front of my face. Please forgive me. I can’t live without you.”
                                                ~ Jolie Harcourte

Dangerous Choices ~ Book 2





Centuries pass and yet one thing remains the same, we are predators and they are the hunted. What happens when the lines become blurred and the killers are now the only creatures who stand between humans and death?

Inline image 2 

Jolie Harcourte has taken on the responsibility of protecting those that would stake her in her sleep, since she is one of the most powerful undead remaining.

Along with her mates, she has decided to stand up for humans instead of seeing them solely as food.

After being chased from Philadelphia, by a rogue vampyre, she has now moved her family to New Orleans in hopes of just surviving what is coming for them.

With Jacques protecting her, and her newly acquired human mate working for the police, they once again have found themselves between the human world and that of the undead.

More bodies are turning up in the streets and fingers are pointing right at them.

Now, it’s a matter of time before suspicion lands at their doorsteps and they once again are hunted and chased. One thing remains the same, someone has to die, but will it be them or the killers?



May the Dangerous Choices begin…







“We’re a family. It may not be conventional, Flynn, but somehow we fit together. Sometimes fate just knows…”
                                    ~ Jacques Degaul

MIA, New Book, Giveaways, New Projects, New Blog!

Hey all!

Sorry I've been gone. Real life kinda got in the way. But in the few moments I got to myself during all my RL crises, I was able to finish Eternal Beginnings!



The Eternals are moving in! Meet the characters in a short prequel, Eternal Beginnings! You'll get to meet Tobias and Sebastian Helms, and those of you who read my debut novel, The Devil Knows, you'll get re-introduced to Maya Helms! :)

I realized this morning that I have 37 more stories floating around in my head! :o Six of them are things you've already been teased about - The Eternals trilogy (formerly my Eternal trilogy) and my End of Days trilogy!

For fans of The Devil Knows, there is going to be a spin off with a three or four book series about Olivia. It's about witches. Plus Anya will get a short story, which is sort of a continuation of TDK.

Some other projects are merely a thought or a few ideas scribbled down (if that), while others have chapters or whole outlines! It's all very exciting, and daunting! LOL.

For my two current releases, there is a giveaway going on!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

And yes, I have a new blog. It's called Book Bytes and is on Wordpress. It's for reviews and cover reveals. I am however, thinking of moving permanently there for everything.

Through Eternal Connections, my book services project, I have had the pleasure of redesigning Morgan Kelley's book covers for her FBI Thriller series! It's been very exciting.

I am hoping for Eternal Wickedness, the first of The Eternals, to be released by the end of September.

What would you do to have the body of your dreams?





Kiera hates being overweight and hides behind thick layers of clothing. One night, her friends

thin physique she's always coveted.





But all magic comes with a price: no sex or she'll revert back to her old body. Kiera accepts the

When a slew of unexplained murders forces Kiera and Cain together, they'll have to face the

horrors of their pasts. Will Kiera realize she is worth more than her outward appearance? Or will

she make the wrong the choice and lose everything—including her life?

Designing with Amygdala!


AMYGDALA DESIGN BLOG POST:

About Amygdala Design:

Amygdala Design was officially started in October 2012 by graphic designer Ida Jansson. The company specializes in book covers and book trailers for independent/self-publishing authors. Eye-catching covers at affordable prices are offered to authors in all genres, both fiction and non-fiction.

More info: amygdaladesign.net


 

What makes a book cover eye-catching?

I think all indie-authors can agree to the fact that when it comes to self-publishing, the competition is extremely though. Today, everyone with a computer and access to the internet can publish their own books through services such as CreateSpace. In a matter of seconds, the book can be downloaded to an e-reader such as Kindle all over the world. With all these books floating around the web, how does the reader choose what to read? How do you as an author capture the attention of possible customers in just one glance? Why would they choose your book out of millions of other books in the same genre?

The answer is obvious – you need an eye-catching book cover.  You need a cover that pops out, that screams “read me!”. If you invest in a professional cover, you show your reader that you care about your book, that you are proud of it and that you are willing to invest in it. The reader should be able to tell by your cover that you believe in your book, because if you do then the reader will as well. This is especially true for new writers that have yet to establish their name as an author. Your book can be amazing and well written, but that does not matter if no one reads it. So if you want to convince people that your book is worth their precious time, you should show them that by investing in a quality cover.

So what makes a book cover eye-catching? I design my customers’ book covers from the following three principles: SIMPLE, COLOUR and COMPOSITION. Often, the author comes to me with a specific idea about how they want their covers to look like. They want endless elements and details on their cover, and it is very important to them that all details fit their story. I can understand why they have this request of course; they care greatly about their story! But, remember this; the potential reader browsing Amazon or Goodreads does not care if your hero has red shoes instead of blue or if your cover has 10 different elements from your book. Why? Because they haven`t read the book yet! If you try to fit a whole scene from your book down to the smallest detail on your cover, all the reader will see on your thumbnail is a smear of elements and different colors.

As a rule, the cover should not consist of more than 2 main colors and 2-3 main elements. 1 main object/character and a background with a few complementing but subtle elements is ideal. If an object doesn`t work on the cover – throw it out! Don`t compromise the quality of your cover just to add an element that is important to you. The potential reader won`t care about that one element, they notice the cover as a whole. And that is how you should see your cover as well – as one piece, not a group of different pieces.

When it comes to composition – trust your graphic designer (and make sure to hire one with proper education). There are rules to follow, and you need to know the rules up and down before breaking them. Also, you need to know that your designer has the technical skills to make your cover work. A professional cover has smooth blending and perfect cut image components.

In short: Hire a skilled cover artist, so that you can focus all your attention on your writing!
