OUAA synopsis
My life was almost back on track. I actually enjoyed my job. I had a gorgeous wife who my family loved, and an equally gorgeous girlfriend who I loved. But I couldn't shake this feeling that it was all going to hell soon.
As Blayne Westmore tries to juggle the woman he's married to and the woman he's in love with, he begins to see that things aren't as simple as he'd hoped. He has no doubt that he loves Katka Dusek, the fun-loving and passionate younger twin, but he also finds himself thinking more and more about her more serious, intelligent sister, Livie. When he finds out the truth, however, it shakes him to his core and leaves him with the most difficult decision he'll ever have to make. Don't miss the biggest twist yet in the penultimate installment of M.S. Parker's latest series, Twisted Affair!

The Beast of Ravenston BT Banner

Title: The Beast of Ravenston Author: Kelly Martin Series: A Shattered Fairy Tale Publisher: Blue Tulip Publishing

Beautiful man in the clothing of the 18th century in a interior with stairs
 
  Synopsis 
 Elizabeth Adams, a former maid of the evil sin collector Frederick Dodsworth, is sent to the isolated town of Ravenston to be the servant of notorious duke Nicholas Wellington -- nicknamed "The Beast" because of his bad temper and scars that have disfigured him from a fire. Nicholas makes a deal with Mr. Dodsworth: the name of the person who set the fire in exchange for making Elizabeth's time at Ravenston a living hell. After seeing what he's capable of, Nicholas fears he has truly become the beast he is rumored to be and tries to make the consequences of his horrible actions up to Elizabeth somehow. Spending time with her causes feelings he'd long forgotten, and he finds himself falling for the gently beauty. He can't let that happen, however, because he has to know who set the fire. He has to know who to punish. And he has to atone for his part in his wife's death. Years old lies are revealed. Secrets are uncovered. And one man has to choose between the family he desires and the revenge he's waited so long for. After all, a beast is always a beast.

top 5 things header
1. Eat Dark Chocolate Almonds
*I can't tell you how many packs of these awesome things I went through while writing this book. When I think of The Beast-- I think of dark chocolate almonds. It adds to the atmosphere, you know...
The Beast - Chocolates

*crunch, crunch*
2. Listen to some Metallica on youtube (or spotify or wherever) More specifically, Unforgiven II. It might possibly be what I listened to-- loudly-- while writing it. {because nothing says fairy tale retelling like Metallica ;) }
from: Metallica vevo via youtube.com
 
3. Fall in love with Mr. Dodsworth
Okay... so... he's NOT the beast and he's a mean, mean man, but he's also my favorite character-- possibly ever ;) Mr. Dodsworth is the glue that holds the 'Shattered Fairy Tale' series together. He's a 'sin collector' and uses what he knows to hurt (aka get revenge) on other people. BUT, in his mind, he is the hero of the story-- Read Cloaked in Red and see if you feel the same way ;)

4. The Library Scene.
*Because it is based on Beauty and the Beast... there HAS to be a library scene. Look forward to that. *Hewboy.*
the library scene
5. Love Mrs. Rutherford
*I mean you don't HAVE to love her... but she is based on my mother (except she looks nothing like my mother-- okay, she has the same NAME as my mother). AND, she possibly has the biggest secret of all.
There you have it. The five things you need to do while reading The Beast of Ravenston. When you are finished, I'd love to know your thoughts. Reviews are awesome. Or you can message me. I'm a friendly gal.
Happy Reading!!!

The Beast of Ravenston Teaser #1

   Excerpt
He allowed her feet to touch the floor and, without breaking contact with her lips, walked her backward until her back hit the bookcase. Nicholas wrapped his hands around her hips and lifted her off the ground, and Elizabeth’s legs wrapped around him. He raised her hands against the bookcase and held them over her head. Ache and need filled him, and he just wanted to take her. He could. He knew he could. No one would ever know. No one would know, and, by the way she reacted to him, she wanted it too. Nicholas took both of her wrists in one hand, and with the other, he ran it up her leg, past her knee and toward her hip. Her back arched under him, and he, for the first time, released her lips. She breathed as heavy as he. She looked at him with the same intensity he felt. She wanted him. Beyond all reason known to man, she wanted him. How could she want him after everything he’d done? After what he was? How could she? Elizabeth’s lips were red and swollen from the fierceness of his kiss, and reason came back to him. What was he doing? He had her like a common whore against the wall in his library. He had his hand almost on places men should only be allowed on their wedding night. He had her wrists in his, and he wanted her more than any woman in his life. The music ended, but he did not want to let her go. The Beast of Ravenston Teaser #4     Shattered Faity Tale Series

A Gypsy's Kiss by Susan Griscom


Title: A Gypsy's Kiss
Series: The Sectorium Series 
Author: Susan Griscom
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: May 10, 2015


Breena Cassidy

Cursed with what could be one of the worst supernatural abilities imaginable, Breena has never had the luxury of falling in love. Hell, she’s never even held a guy’s hand. At only twenty-two years old, she’s just about given up on the whole love thing. After all, when you can see twelve hours of someone’s future by a simple touch, and they, in turn, can see what you see, well… relationships are sort of out of the question. Her gigs performing psychic readings at parties, and the occasional one-on-one private appointment are just about Breena’s only connection with people. No matter how much she might wish otherwise.

Hawk Covington

Hawk’s hard body and skill have earned him a starting position on the Pioneer’s college hockey team. But it’s not his talent with a hockey stick that’s the most remarkable. His gorgeous two-colored eyes not only draw the attention of every female on campus, they also allow him to track people and objects. But when he suddenly finds himself stalked by a stranger, he seeks out the help of the rumored, “campus gypsy” for help.

Despite his vow to stay single and play as many college girls as he can while the fun lasts, Hawk can’t ignore his attraction to the lovely and spirited Breena. And she can’t get the hunky star hockey player out of her mind once a single touch of his hand reveals something utterly strange. Surrounded by mystery, they realize that fate has brought them together for a reason, but can they stay alive long enough to recognize the depth of their feelings for one another?


Unedited 

We headed into his apartment and I shrugged my coat off my shoulders, but that’s as far as it got. As soon as Hawk dropped his equipment bag on the floor, he turned to me and grabbed me, pinning me against the wall, my jacket wedged behind me, my arms a prisoner in the sleeves of my jacket as he settled his beautiful mouth back on mine again. I was grateful for the support behind me, so I wouldn’t lose my balance. Though I doubt there would have been any chance of that happening since Hawk had such a secure grip around my waist. When he stopped kissing me, he stared into my eyes. I couldn’t move. My arms were still pinned in my jacket. I couldn’t do anything except stare back into his eyes. The grey and green colors of his eyes danced with desire. Desire for me. The thought scared me, but then he began kissing my neck, trailing kisses down inside the collar of my jacket, sucking in places on the way. He pushed my jacket down my arms, letting the heavy fleece fall to the floor. Then he swept me up in his arms, carried me to his couch and placed me down. 

His mouth was instantly back on mine. The sensation of his taste buds mingling with mine was like honey, ever so sweet and smooth, yet electric. When his lips left mine, I began an internal protest, but relaxed when his tongue skimmed along my neck and down my chest. A small gasp escaped my throat when his palm briefly cupped my breast before his fingers inched inside my sports bar, lifting it up to expose both breasts. “I told you, you have nice breasts,” he mumbled before taking one into his mouth and cupping the other in his hand. A second gasp flowed from my lips, but it was more from the sensation and pleasure he offered than surprise.

Then he lodged his knees between my thighs as his hand came under my bottom and his other was on the back of my neck, urging my mouth toward his. He squeezed my backside and caressed each cheek, pulling me against him. My legs hugged his waist.

“You have such a beautiful ass,” he breathed in between kisses. I want to kiss it. Will you let me kiss it, gypsy? 

I giggled. It was uncontrollable. “You want to kiss my ass?” I repeated out of sheer lack of not knowing what else to say. He made me hot and the thought of his lips on my rear end made me even hotter. 

“Yes, because you have an extremely supreme derriere, but that’s not all I want to do to you.



I daydream often. And sometimes my daydreams interfere with my daydreams not to mention real life. Because, let’s face it, my character’s lives are so much more exciting. Sometimes it’s young adult or new adult contemporary romance and sometimes it’s paranormal romance, where my playing field delves into a different milieu than the usual vampires and werewolves. 

Some day I might write about vampires, fangs and fur, but for now, I prefer sticking to strong heroes and heroines confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and abilities beyond the norm, mixed with a heavy dose of romance to get the blood boiling. 

Of course, there are times I love writing the normal contemporary love story and enjoy getting lost in the dream of a hot sexy hero. I love when a story takes hold and pulls me into the fantasy, that's magic.

Author Bio

**Bound by custom or unique by choice.**

There's something about the written word that's pure magic.


Possibly it's the fact that there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and they can create something so beautiful or so empowering that they're able to change our lives.

How important is it that we break suit and stretch our minds?

I like to think of myself as 'unique'. My stories aren't for everyone, and sometimes I may push what you believe to be 'normal'.

Normal is subjective.

I prefer to be known as a person who's never been 'bound by custom' but is 'unique by choice'.

Until next time
