Hello Everyone! Welcome to My December Symposium!
This month is all about looking forward to the upcoming year
so I’ve asked my friends and fellow authors to give you a little sneak peek at
what you should be expecting from them coming up in the new year. Happy
Holidays and wishing you the very best for 2015!
LAURIE ROMA: I am
looking forward to so many great things in 2015! First up on my list is an
adaptation of one of my screenplays into an action adventure novel released
under my new YA pen name, L.S. Watts. After that, I will be revisiting Breakers
and the 3013 series for several books, starting with Dante and Zoe’s story in
Dante’s Angel, then 3013: CHAOS for Katra Tesera and Lord Jaden Tor’s story. If
time allows, I will also release the first book of an all new paranormal
trilogy I have planned. On top of that, I also have an exciting project in the
works with six other very talented authors that should be released early
spring. I have so many stories to share...thank you to all my readers for
letting me entertain you, and here’s hoping I will continue to do so for many
more years to come! Happy Holidays!
Officer Skylar Aris is a woman with a troubled past. As a
Class-A Conduit, she is beautiful and deadly, making her stand out among the
rest of the Elite soldiers. She has worked hard to succeed as one of the only
female interrogators in the Security and Interrogation Division, but everything
she has dreamed of is put in jeopardy when she’s given an ultimatum that will
change her fate.
Strong and dominant, Director Dominic Stryker is a man who
doesn’t let anything stand in his way. When he meets Skylar, he knows she’s the
woman he wants to claim, but he never expected she’d also be destined to belong
to his best friend, D’Aire Ambassador Arik V’Dir. Two Alpha males, Dom and Arik
don’t want to share, but they realize that it’s the only way they can have
Skylar...if they can get her to agree.
When a mission forces Skylar to deal with her past, Dom and
Arik are determined to stand by her side. But discovering where she comes from
changes everything. Will their love be enough to give her salvation, or will
the truth shatter their bond and take her beyond their reach?

Viper’s Mate: Sarafin Warrior Book 2, Dagger’s Hope: The Alliance Book 3, The

release: Merrick’s Maiden: Cosmos’ Gateway Book 5 on sale December 30, 2014.
Merrick Ta’Duran is the powerful leader of the Eastern
Mountain Clan on the Prime world of Baade. His people, known as the Ghosts of
the Forests, live high in the Eastern mountains. Merrick feels the weight of
responsibility as the males within his clan become desperate to find mates
among the few remaining females. When word comes that a new species has been
discovered, he knows he must do what is right for his people - even if it means
traveling to a strange, alien realm to do it.
Merrick’s world changes when he is injured and captured by a
ruthless group of humans. Drugged and held against his will, he is the subject
of experiments and testing as the humans try to discover where he came from and
duplicate his strength and ability to heal quickly. After months of captivity,
he fears his life will end on the strange world until one chance encounter
gives him hope.
Addie Banks’ world has been one of silence since a
devastating illness when she was sixteen. Determined to stand on her own two
feet, she goes to school during the day and works at night to put herself
through college. Her life unexpectedly changes when she stumbles across
something she wasn’t supposed to see while at work. Now, she hears a voice in
her head - and it is driving her crazy. Her only hope for peace is to help the
creature talking to her escape from the men holding him.
Merrick knows the female who helps him is his bond mate. She
may deny it. She may fight it. She may even try to run from it. It won’t
matter. She is his and he will do everything he can to convince her, hold her,
even kidnap her if that is what it takes to make her realized that they belong
together.
Will Addie hear the love and longing in Merrick’s voice? Can
she trust and accept the new life he has to offer? Or, will a ruthless killer
silence him before she gets a chance?

N.J. WALTERS: 2014 has been a year of great change
for me, but it hasn’t all been bad. I did hit several milestones this year,
including turning fifty and publishing my 75th book. When my first
book was published back in 2004 I never imagined that day would come. That all
leads me to where I’m going. I want 2015 to be a year of personal
transformation. I want to get back to doing some of the things I used to enjoy
like yoga and walking. I’ve gotten so busy writing I rarely take the time
anymore. Maybe I’ll take a class and try something totally new. But don’t think
I’m giving up writing. I have three new Hades’ Carnival novellas and two
Salvation Pack books lined up for release between now and January 2016. Wishing you
all good healthy, happiness and prosperity in 2015. Happy New Year!
Considered an abomination for her inability to shift, Cherise Michaels has been

dream puts her on course toward her last hope—Salvation, North Carolina.
She makes it to Salvation only to be cornered by her pursuers and then rescued
by the biggest, baddest werewolf she’s ever seen.
Cole Blanchard has no trouble dispatching the intruders trespassing on pack
land. Convincing their skittish quarry she’s safe is another story. Cole senses
she is his mate and he’ll protect her to his last breath, even it means risking
everything to face her former pack.
In Cole’s arms,
Cherise learns there’s something in this world more powerful than fear—desire
and love. She knows loving her is a death sentence for Cole, so she plans to
store up a lifetime of memories before she lets him go…

to believe another year has come and almost gone. 2015 is around the corner and
will be filled with lots of new reads from me! I have four books already
scheduled for my hot new series, Awakening Pride! I’m also planning to write

the year I launch a few self publish projects. I have so many ideas! I’ll be
choosing from a new paranormal series, a romantic suspense series, a new sci-fi
series, and a fantasy series. Yes, I love my series! If time allows,
I’ll have a special project I’ll be working on for another publisher. I’m

SUSAN HAYES: 2014 was an incredible year, and 2015 is
already gearing up to be just as amazing, and even busier. My next book will be 3013:Targeted, which should be out in
early February. Wilde Start, a short story about how the parents of my Wilde
Brothers met and fell in love, is part of the Evernight “Uniform Fetish
Anthology” coming out in February, too. After that I’m working on Summoned
& Betrayed, the first full length Summoned Series novel, and then Wilde
Blues, where David Wilde will finally get his happily ever after. There’s a
special project also due out this spring, and I have plans to write another 3013
and another Wilde Brother series book before the year is out. I can’t wait to share more stories with my
readers. Thank you all so much, and may the holidays and the coming year bring
you all joy, laughter and many new books to read.

JENIKA SNOW: 2015 is shaping up to be a busy year for me. I
will be continuing with my Grizzly MC series, those rough talking, bear
shifting bikers that don’t take no for an answer. I will also be writing more
Warriors of Hades, which are my ménage and more sci-fi series featuring my red
skinned demon heroes. Readers can expect more Brothers of Menace books, Sweet
Water, my collaboration for the incredible 3013 series, and a new series that I
have been working on with Sam Crescent. I have so much on my plate with
re-releasing some older stories, creating more Dark Erotic romances, and
continuing with my current series. But it is all worth it to hear that readers
enjoy my stories, and to be able to do what I love.
Lucas Landon is a member of The Grizzly MC, a crew of bear
shifting bikers. He lives his life on the edge, and doesn’t follow any rules
besides his own. Lucas knows that what he really wants will never be his, and
that is Tarren Stoker, the daughter of Dallas, an original Grizzly member.
When he finally has Tarren in every way, he doesn’t want to
let her go. But he has to because he feels she's too good for him.
When Tarren and Lucas share one sexually intense night, is
ends awkwardly. As the years pass and they share another moment together, she
realizes that her love isn’t dying but growing for the hardened biker. But when
they find a pleasurable medium in their relationship, everything comes crashing
down when Tarren finds out she is pregnant.
Is Lucas ready to be an outlaw father?

REBECCA JOYCE: The year
2015 is going to be interesting to say the least for me. With the continuation
of the Men of Treasure Cove and Celestial Nights, I have decided to throw a
monkey wrench into these two towns that will change the face of them forever.
Also, with the coming New Year, I also believe in fresh starts and have decided
to dip my fingers into the Paranormal/Science Fiction realm…(Yes, can anyone
say ‘Wow…Space Cowboys!’) Nothing is ever set in stone, and plans change but
one thing will remain the same…I will still be writing books and doing what I
love. As for everything else, only the universe knows, but I am excited to see
what it has in store for me.
Apollo Humperdinck is the
beautiful, hulking Norse God of Celestial. He has a smokin’ hot body, the best
club in town, two lovers that worship the ground he walks on. Oh, and his hair
is finally growing back. His life is perfect and baring any complications, he
will soon be re-elected as town Mayor.
Fairy Belltower and Helios Martinez love Apollo with all their
hearts, but trying to contain the Norse God is next to impossible. That is
until the Universe steps in and gives them the perfect opportunity to teach him
a lesson in humility.
When Apollo puts his foot in his mouth at a mayoral town hall meeting,
Helios and Fairy are determined to help Apollo fix his image, even if that
means making him the laughing stock of the town. As the election looms, Apollo
is set loose on the town, and Goddess help them all, because when Apollo gets
motivated, there is a whole lotta’ Apollo goin’ on!

WILLOW BROOKE: Hello and thank you to the amazing Laurie for
having me back! The new year brings so
many new chapters in both my personal life, and my professional. While I will still be writing my normal
series regularly, I am striving towards adding more genres and variety. I have a new age contemporary series I am
plotting out, along with continuing my new age western series, Southern
Bred. There might be some thought about
adding in a few rougher areas such as MC and other bad ass heroes to make your
toes curl and your mouth water… ;) I am currently working on the second book in the Southern
Bred series as we speak, and promise to get another Twisted Fate out some day
haha. The boys of Breaking Protocol are
demanding bigger and even more exciting missions and twists to their
series. (Dang demanding soldiers…) Thank
you so much for having me again, and have a safe and Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!
In book five of Breaking Protocol: The team is finally able
to spend the holidays at home together. They even end up using their covert
training to bring a Christmas Eve surprise to one of their own.
Vince finds himself in a sexy male love triangle, forced to
either choose a side or risk losing the love he’s searched so long for. While
Hulk, Violet, and Kodiak plan for the future, turning up the heat in a decision
that will change their life forever.
Pop fights his past and tries to put the demons to rest so
he can move on. And Dom and Vice heat things up with an intensity that’s too
hot to handle. As Michael makes a huge decision that affects them all.
A Hoorah Christmas on the ranch shows why the blood, sweat,
and tears the team puts forth in missions makes it so worthwhile. It is done
for love, happiness, and most of all—family.

CATALINA HARPER: New Year always comes with resolutions, plans for the future. Writers make resolutions every time they look at the upcoming year but we call them to-do lists. ;) On my epically long to-do list for 2015, I plan to bring everyone some hopefully entertaining reads. First on my list for the new year will be the release of the first novel in the Paragons series, whose excerpt you can find below. It is a sci-fi romance between an adventurous heroine and a hero who is a rough and tumble veteran of an intergalactic war. Also, I am taking part in an anthology with a lovely group of authors - my piece is tentatively called Wonderland. I hope you all look for His to Protect, A Novel of the Paragons in January 2015.
The intergalactic war may have ended a decade ago but the future of humanity is far from secure. A former ally protects all human females, even from the men who seek to claim them. An test is needed to take a woman but death awaits the unlucky man who fails it.
Deacon has spent his last bit of credit to get to the alien world of Grekin to fight for his right to claim a woman. Caretaker of his four battle brothers, he needs a wife for the coin and social position he needs to obtain them a more gentile home in the vast universe. He doesn’t expect that woman to be a hell cat bent on driving him insane.
Cheyenne longs for adventure more than anything though the ideal male companion to accompany her would not be amiss. Deacon may be just what she’s looking for in a male but his overprotective streak threatens to end her fun before it begins. Little does she know, love may be the only adventure she could ever need as she becomes His to Protect.
KALI ARGENT: Last year, I wrote this awesome list of all the
things I was “going to accomplish,” but life had other plans. I’m vowing to
make this year different, though. That’s me, setting goals and achieving them.
I just wrapped up 3013: Mended, book 6 in the 3013 series, which is releasing
in just a few days. Squee!! Timeless, the first book in separate sci-fi romance
series, Pandora, is scheduled to release at the end of January. The second
Preludes short is on my calendar for February, and March will see the release
of a top secret and super awesome project. No, I can’t tell you. It’s a secret.
I’m also hoping there will time in there to complete the first book in a new
paranormal series that’s been bouncing around my head. I’m exhausted already,
and that’s just the spring lineup. Please excuse me, I may need a nap. *wink*
Deep in the fortress of Pandora, Lieutenant Vane Schiva has spent millennium guarding precious artifacts and ancient secrets from around the universe. As the son of a decorated commander, he has always been a soldier first, putting the needs of his people before his own desires. So when the compound is breached and he’s sent across the galaxies to track down the thief, he never imagined the assignment would lead him to the only thing he’s ever wanted for himself.
Growing up in New Orleans, Charlotte Rousseau has seen her share of the strange and unexplainable, but everything she thought she knew about the world is about to be tested. What started as any other day, quickly spirals into a nightmarish reality, leaving her no choice but to place her trust—and her life—in a stranger’s hands. Safety comes at a price, though, and Charlotte soon realizes her only chance at survival means leaving behind her fears and following Vane into the fire.
Faced with the threat of war, new alliances are formed and old loyalties are tested in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. While emotions run high and sexual tensions simmer, Vane still guards a dangerous secret, one that could cost him everything in the end. He’ll do whatever it takes to protect Charlotte, though, even if that means turning his back on his own people.
War is easy. Love takes courage.
