Special Ops With Fangs – The Same…But Different
by Virna DePaul
Have you heard the phrase, “the same but different?” It’s what writers are often told to write if they want to be published. The kind of story that publishing houses already know readers are currently hot for, yet different enough that it’ll stand out in a crowded market.

30 days of Highlanders: Day 29: Interview with Author Amanda Scott + Giveaway
-Did you get to travel to Scotland or Ireland for any research?
Frequently to Scotland, but not much recently. I love seeing the actual places, especially in the Highlands, where so little has changed. My favorite place is the village of Glenelg above Glen Sheil. A wonderful place. The Scots are wonderful about helping a writer with her research, too. And so are the English. I met a lady at Fyvie Castle, who clearly knew a great deal about the furnishings there. I overheard her wondering to her husband why “they” had not noted below it that it was not original. When he asked her how she could be sure, she replied, “Because we HAVE the original.” I was hooked. I was with my husband, who has much more interest in World War II things in such places than I do, so when I saw the other couple leaving, I followed them to the “car park” and introduced myself. I asked her straight out what she had meant about the picture, and she laughed and said she was a docent at Goodwood House in England. Never one to miss opportunity when I hear it knocking, I asked if I might add her to my list of possible sources. She agreed, and I did write soon afterward asking her about Armada chests. She sent me pictures of one a friend owned, including all sorts of information about the key…all of which is included in Highland Treasure, where an Armada chest key figured prominently.

Dual Review with Tigris Eden: Adam Black in KMM Immortal Highlander
May 22, 2011
The Immortal Highlander (Highlander #6)
Enter a world of timeless seduction, of ancient intrigue and modern-day passion. Enter the dazzling world of Karen Marie Moning, whose acclaimed Highlander novels have captivated readers, spanning the continents and the centuries, bringing ancient Scotland vividly to life. In a new novel brimming with time-travel adventure and sensual heat, the nationally bestselling author of The Dark Highlander delivers a love story that will hold you in thrall—and a hero you will most certainly never forget.BEWARE: lethally seductive alpha male of immense strength and dark eroticism, do not look at him. Do not touch him. Do not be tempted. Do not be seduced.With his long, black hair and dark, mesmerizing eyes, Adam Black is Trouble with a capital T. Immortal, arrogant, and intensely sensual, he is the consummate seducer, free to roam across time and continents in pursuit of his insatiable desires. That is, until a curse strips him of his immortality and makes him invisible, a cruel fate for so irresistible a man. With his very life at stake, Adam’s only hope for survival is in the hands of the one woman who can actually see him.
Enter law student Gabrielle O’Callaghan, who is cursed with the ability to see both worlds: Mortal and Faery. From the moment she lays eyes on this stunning male, Gabby is certain of one thing: He could be her undoing. Thus begins a long, dangerous seduction. Because despite his powerful strength and unquenchable hungers, Adam refuses to take a woman by force. Instead, he will tease his way into Gabby’s bed and make her want him just as he wants her. Now, no matter how hard Gabby tries to avoid him, Adam is everywhere, invisible to all but her—perched atop her office cubicle in too-tight jeans, whispering softly from behind the stacks of the law library, stealing her breath away with his knowing smile…all the while tempting her with the promise of unimaginable pleasure in his arms. But soon danger will intrude on this sensual dance. For as Adam’s quest to regain his immortality plunges them into a world of timeless magic and the deadly politics of the Faery queen’s court, the price of surrender could be their very lives. Unless they can thwart the conspiracy that threatens both mortal and Faery realms…and give them a shot at a destiny few mortals ever know: glorious, wondrous, endless love.
Welcome to 30 Days with a Highlander Dual Review of Karen Marie Moning's The Immortal Highlander.The hero of this story needs no introduction he's Adam Black YO! I meansweet baby Jeesus that is one delectable specimen.... He is the epitome of all things arrogance and sexy rolled into one. And boy do I love a man with a cocky confidence.
We know that Adam didn't win yesterday but today we will immortalize him with our review. What we loved about this book and what we could have done with out... Although there wasn't much that I could have done with out. Everything Adam was just amazing!
JoJo what did you think of our dear Adam?
O.M.G. I still can't believe Adam didn't win yesterday! That's just seriously amazing! Though i do like who won too..........yummie! *wiggle brows*
Anyhoo, Ok now onto the seriousness that's called Adam black. When we first met Adam i didn't like him very much at all. I mean come on, he hated humans and he did what he could to screw up things for them and make things as difficult as possible. Hello,ass much! but....as we get farther and farther into the series he turned out to be an........OH SO SEXY BEAST! *dreamy sigh*
I absolutely love Adam! His charm, his love, and the fact that he gave up everything he is for his women. That is so romantic........and damnit Im totally jealous! Hehehe
I have to agree he did give up everything.... Adam is just wonderful.... Above you will find an excerpt... Just click the link and be drawn to everything that Adam is.... But first I will leave you with something that is so totally Adam it will make your head spin! Promise!
"Christ, you're beautiful, Gabrielle. Do you know how badly I want you? Do you know what fantasies I've been playing through my mind about you? Do you know how many times I jacked off, trying to get rid of this bloody eternal hard-on? Knowing that the only thing that could was going to help was you?"
*************************
"For the record, Irish," he informed her tightly, just in case she got the wrong idea, "I kneel to no one." Then he dropped to his knees at her feet, shoved her dress up, gathered a fistful of silky material in each hand, and pushed her back against the door, pinning her by the fabric.
*************************
"Stay standing, ka-lyrra. If those sweet knees give out and you come down on the floor, I'll fuck you right there."
She let her knees buckle instantly, barely smothering a laugh.
"Aw, bloody hell, Gabrielle, I wanted this to last," he cursed, rolling instantly with her, catching her, going down beneath her to absorb the impact of her tumble.
*************************
Now you know you want to read ADAM'S Book which will be up at AUCTION 2 of them! HOLLA!
"Christ, you're beautiful, Gabrielle. Do you know how badly I want you? Do you know what fantasies I've been playing through my mind about you? Do you know how many times I jacked off, trying to get rid of this bloody eternal hard-on? Knowing that the only thing that could was going to help was you?"

30 days of Highlanders: Day 17: Guest Post: Trish B + Giveaway
May 12, 2011
http://www.justthe6ofus.net/
http://twitter.com/#!/TrishB
I am really thrilled that JoJo asked me to be a part of 30 days with a Highlander. When she asked me to write why I love them. My first thought was, who doesn't? And, if you have never read a book about a Highlander, I have just gasped out of disbelief! You must correct this misfortune as fast as possible! Trust me you will never be the same and you will thank me!

| Jamie Fraser |
I believe it all started with James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser from Outander by Diana Gabaldon.
After my long love affair with Jamie, I went searching for more Highlander books. I soon found all sorts of yumminess in Monica McCarty's and Karen Marie Moning's Books. I really can't say I love one Highlander
hero more than the other.
30 days of Highlanders: Day 16: Author Feature: Monica McCarty + Giveaway
May 11, 2011
Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Monica
(shamelessly borrowed from a popular tabloid magazine)
1. I was a Star Wars maniac. I've seen the original film over 100 times and used to have a mad crush on Mark Hamill (including hanging pictures of him in my school locker). Apparently I never outgrew this "trekkie" type of personality quirk because I did the same thing (except for the locker) with Lord of the Rings, including attending midnight showings to all three movies.

30 days of Highlanders: Day 15: Guest Post: Missy Jane + Giveaway
May 10, 2011
Adrian Paul, My One and Only Highlander
by: Ms Missy Jane
For those of you unfamiliar with the television series, The Highlander, the name Adrian Paul may hold no meaning. He was in the last of the Highlander movies, continuing his role as Duncan MacLeod (of the clan Macleod), alongside the original highlander, Christopher Lambert (Connor MacLeod). He’s been in forty-one movie and television productions ( http://www.imdb.com/ ) and is also listed as a producer and director. Born in London from Italian and British roots, he pulled off being a Scottish Highlander vera vera well. Watching him swordfight in everything from a kilt to a three-piece suit has been some of my favorite television watching experiences.
Blog Tour: A Buzzar Twist By: Jeff Bennington + Giveaway Opp!
By Jeff Bennington
I love writing thrillers. The suspense, the fear factor, the chase and the excitement make it not only enjoyable reading, and fun to write. For me, what really makes writing exciting is the twist. And if I can come up with more than one twist…even better!
When I set out to write Reunion, my supernatural thriller, I had a basic outline of what I wanted to accomplish, but there were no twists—zilch, zero, nada. I had planned for several frightening moments, and key figures that would bring valuable and necessary information, but I didn’t have a twist; you know, the kind that throws you on the floor so hard that your ribs hurt for a week.
It was halfway into the rough draft when two major twists wrapped themselves around my head and squeezed until I agreed to install them. As you can imagine, it took very little coercion on their part because I loved the ideas. I can’t tell you what they are for obvious reasons, but if you’ve read any of my reviews you know that there’s a twist about two thirds of the way through that has floored my readers. And that is so exciting! That is the ultimate rush for me as a writer. Knowing that I not only creeped out my readers, thrilled them with the suspense, and made them fall in love with the cast would’ve been enough. But the twist seems to be the thing that clutched the victory, the five star reviews and the buzz.

30 days of Highlanders: Day 13: Author Feature: Julianne Maclean
May 8, 2011
Fact #1: I once went sailing aboard this schooner - the Bluenose II - with Prince Edward when he visited Canada. The interesting thing is, my agent, Paige Wheeler, was visiting Halifax at the same time and also met him, and was there when the boat sailed off, so we likely crossed paths on the wharf. This was almost 20 years ago, and we only discovered this after working together for seven years. It sure is a small, freaky world.
Fact #2: I was a DJ in a dance club during my university days. I worked every Saturday night playing 80's dance tunes like Push It and Bizarre Love Triangle. I even won third place in a beat mixing competition. I was the only girl spinning records in the Halifax clubs at the time.
