The Shadow World Series! by Julieanne Lynch (books optioned to be motion pictures)

 Within the Shadows

Living on the razors edge, Giselle Bergman’s life is torn apart by her cheating boyfriend. Little does she realise that he is the least of her worries when her long term friend Alex reveals a secret long hidden, and introduces her to his family and a new, darker world; a world of lies, deceit and corruption.

Thrown from one problem straight into another, the razors edge gets thinner and sharper, testing Giselle’s sanity and vitality. Never truly knowing who her allies are, Giselle soon learns not to trust anyone, even herself.
How far will Giselle run to escape what fate has dealt her?
Will she ever truly be free from the shadows that not only want her soul, but have her reborn as their Queen?
Join Giselle on a journey that is only beginning…
Not even she can hide when living within the shadows.

Escaping Shadows

Giselle has barely had time to accept her new life, never mind the prospect of motherhood, but she finds herself, yet again thrown into chaos, only this time there is more than just her life at stake.

Awakening in a world among the angels, Giselle finds friendship with Ysoriel, an archangel, but little does she realise that Aurelius is under the watchful eye of Xavier and his minions, and soon enough Giselle falls prey to their wickedness.
Loyal and dashing Antoine does all he can to protect Giselle from Alex and Atarah, but underestimates the power of Xavier, taking him down to the pits of the Shadow World and a battle that see’s him question his own existence.
With vampires and shadow creatures vying for her life, can Giselle escape the darkness consuming her, or will she finally descend into the world of shadows?

Fighting Shadows

When we all think of Hell, we assume the worst. A world controlled by the darkest of entities, a place where man cannot outwit the devil himself, and survival is almost impossible.
Giselle is about to find out exactly how twisted Hell can be…
As Giselle travels through a Hell she never believed existed. Her wit is tested beyond belief, and all the while her closest companion Antoine fights to keep her sanity intact, whilst battling the incessant desire burning deep inside him.
Atarah teams up with Xavier to finally bring Giselle’s existence to an end, and raise baby Kaden as their own, but Alex is more than willing to end his son’s life to spite them all.
Will Giselle finally break free from the lure of the Shadows?
Can she avoid falling for the call of the Nymph?
Will Kaden survive the battle of all battles; Giselle and Alex?
Nothing has prepared Giselle for what is about to happen.

Join Giselle as she brings closure to a story that catapulted her from her once ordinary life, to a world darker, and faster than anything she ever imagined.

Genre: New Adult/Romance

Cover Designer: Steph’s Cover Design

Photographer: Toski Covey Photography-Custom Design

I lost her.

I thought she was the love of my life.

She was everything I needed. Everything I wanted.

She made me forget about my past. My family.

She made me feel real.

Can I find someone else?

It’s time to pick up the pieces and move on.

But can I?

I’m Seth Tyson and this is my story.

I deserve a happily ever after, don’t I?

Book #1 - Dear Emily

Two women. Carly & Tabitha. Both have suffered life-altering events that have left them both traumatically damaged.

Carly Sloan’s life was perfect until the night her security and innocence was torn from her. The vast repercussions from that horrific night threaten to destroy her stability and her chances for a happily ever after. Kyle Finnegan comes into Carly’s life at the height of her turmoil. Can he help her find what she desires most?

Tabitha Fletcher, on the other hand, has suffered from a very young age. She has been hiding from her past, which was full of abuse, loss and turmoil. She has been so brutally damaged that she has very little hope of redemption. The revolving door of men only leads her deeper into misery.

What circumstance brings these two women together unexpectedly and can they help each other heal? And will they each find what they need?

Redemption.

Love.

Family.

This book is not suitable for young readers. It is intended for mature adults only (18+). It contains strong language, adult/sexual situations, non-consensual sex and some violence.

Book #2 - Dear Tabitha

You know me. You know who I am. What I am.

Damaged. Confused. Alone.

You feel sorry for me. You pity me.

You know what I’ve done. What I’ve given up. Who I’ve given up.

You try to understand what I’ve been through and how I can possibly go on with my life.

But you can’t possibly understand.

I’ve lost too much. Sacrificed too much. Given up everything so that I can find myself.

Well I’m done.

I’m done walking away from everything that matters.

It’s time for me to heal.

It’s MY TURN to earn…

Redemption.

Love.

Family.

FREE ANTHOLOGY by J.K. Accinni. Species Intervention Anthology (books 1 through 3!)

Warning

*** This series honestly reflects the brutality of our world. If you are a sensitive reader, this is NOT for you. Contains violence.***  

This series is a work of fiction and as such, controversial points of view may be written to enhance the readers experience. The author's goal has been to make the reader think critically and the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the author. The author would like, however, to help readers realize what detrimental effects we have created for our wildlife.

SYNOPSIS 

A gripping psychological thriller on the inherent greed and evil of man, dooming the planet.

Two hundred years of tender love between man and alien, political downfalls, wanton violence of unspeakable order tempered with laughter, family loyalty and hope is the thrilling vehicle by which Ms. Accinni conveys her cautionary tale of the merciless disrespect man gives his planet and the vulnerable creatures entrusted to him. 

"Baby" introduces Netty, a naive teenage farm girl given in marriage to an older brutal opportunist disguised as a successful citizen during the years of Prohibition in Sussex County, New Jersey. After years of enslavement, Netty flees into the night from her rapist and bootlegger husband, traveling back to the farm worked by her parents, where she rescues an unfamiliar damaged creature she finds in a cave in the woods of her childhood, falling in love with the enigmatic alien she names Baby. Together they find happiness and fulfillment
despite the changes to Netty's body wrought by the proximity of the unusual creature.

Damaged by entry into our atmosphere while pregnant, the confused creature forgets the purpose of his mission, appearing unconcerned with the disappearance of his offspring and savoring the unexpected joy of the love he shares with young Netty.

When a handsome Italian stranger comes into Netty's life, complications ensue as she falls in love while trying to hide the bizarre and wondrous changes to her farm and her body. Netty, Baby and Wil strive to conquer obstacles thrown in their path by life, succeeding wildly until the heart-rending and astonishingly brutal climax to their story.

This charming, yet brutal story is the prologue to a series that will chill and surprise you as it foretells the selfishly destructive path man has followed since his species evolved. It pulls no punches while allowing Netty and Baby's influence to transcend mortal life as the world dances toward depraved indifference, introducing other characters along the ride that readers will laugh,shed tears with and learn to despise.

What lengths will Baby and his offspring go to complete their mission? Will it spell Armageddon for the beleaguered planet with its vulnerable and exploited creatures or will man tip the scales himself, leaving those that love the creatures to salvage the pitiful ruins?

HI GUYS!

I am so sorry that I have been MIA..

At first I think I was going through some winter blues or something. I just did not feel like doing anything, talking to anyone, or being any type of social at all.

and then.... DUN DUN DUN....

I started having internet trouble there for a while as well and had Comcast come out and check the lines and everything. Come to find out the line coming from the pole to the house was taut and should not have been pulled so tightly which was helping to make the internet intermittent. So they fixed that but for some unknown reason my computer was still not going online or it would go online for about 3 minutes and then go off again. I would have to restart it sign back onto whatever I was on and it would just repeat. I reset it to factory settings and everything. I LOST ALL OF MY BOOKS!!! I am hoping that I sent them all to my kindle as I got them but something is telling me that I did not. Le sigh!... So I had to go to Rent A Center and I got a new computer. Bing bang boom I AM BACK! YAY!!

With that said.

I will be starting back up in April with an awesome cover reveal on the 4th for Tich Brewster. (unless a release or reveal comes up before then that I am interested in doing.)
I must say, I am happier than I have been in a very very long time. The winter blues have dissipated and now I am TWITTERPATED! *giggles* Yeah that's right, I used a Bambi reference #DontJudge lol.

Wanna know why I am twitterpated?

I met someone on February 13th and he has turned my world upside down. Not only is he good looking but he is smart and caring and just pure perfection. His smile, his eyes, his strong arms, his everything...
He is a truck driver so that part is kinda hard, being unable to see each other when we want to. But we mesh so well together and had such a connection when we first met that it is worth it to have to wait a few weeks in between seeing him. Well, that's how it has been but he just got into a truck solo instead of being a co driver with someone else. That means he will be able to stop in Pa more often if he is on an east coast run. So not only will I get to see him for a few days every couple of weeks but I will be able to see him when he has to take a break (he is going to try to take his breaks close to where I live because I am in the middle of a lot of their runs hehe). We will figure it all out soon enough and it will get easier. Until then I am loving the fact that we met. Loving the fact that our first date was on Valentines day and he tagged along with me and my kiddos to the movies. We saw The Lego Movie with my 6 year old son while my daughter and her friend went and saw a different movie. I love that he as interested in learning about not only me but my children as well and that my 15 year old daughter who has never really opened up to any boyfriends or what not but with him she did. She likes him and that makes me like him even more. I love that we spent all day Saturday and all Saturday night together talking, laughing, watching movies and just being together getting to know each other. 

So now y'all see why I am TWITTERPATED! lol...

So what are you all reading/writing?

I am off to read Insurgent by Veronica Roth, So far it is AWESOME! Divergent, the first book of this series, was an AMAZING book and I cannot wait to see the movie. So what's on your agenda?

Hey why don't you head over and join a party I am hosting April 25th

So there is this amazing author that I work for who has two books that will be coming out so we are having a cover reveal x2. It is going to be a blast, there will be some awesome Caption this contests and trivia for some wonderful prizes. Come check it out.
