WW4BB Presents: A Runes Book Trailer Launch and Giveaway!

Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.
Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run.
Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about Torin. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only are she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life.

Swallow the Moon by K.A. Jordan

Swallow the Moon by K.A. Jordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really good book! I found myself completely immersed init from the very first page. The storyline was intriguing and the characters were interesting. I really liked June the main character, I don't think I have ever come across another character by the name of June (which is my daughters name) before and the fact that she was wiccan was even more awesome as I myself am a wiccan. Eric the male lead was annoying and male at times but aren't all men..lol...and I find that the author wrote him and his side very well.

I liked the split of the different aspects of the love story and the Paranormal thriller. K.A. Jordan did this very well and it meshed nicely, not getting tangled as it so easily could have. Instead the story flowed beautiful from one aspect to the next as we learn and watch the story unfold.

The Spirits were done amazingly well in the story and so incredibly creepy! the rituals that were performed and the way that June deals with them was well researched and even the fictional parts were well thought out and crafty. Van Man Go was the ultimate creepy guy and I think that even if he was the best artist in the world I would never have walked into his shop...lol...he did have a wicked cool name and his character was done really well I sure didn't want to have anything to do with the dude.

I really liked everything about this book I don't think I can say that there was anything I didn't. the author K.A. Jordan is a great writer and I would defiantly read more of her work. the book had everything I liked love, action, the paranormal, the occult, and cute puppy dogs!..lol...actually there is one little thing I didn't like, the cover, I think it could have been done a little nicer, the bike on the cover is ugly, if I saw a bike like that I wouldn't fall in love and buy it and the rest of the cover is just ok it doesn't stand out and wow me in any way. the inside of the book however did wow me and I devoured it all!

"Warning Sexual Content"

June called down the moon to find her one true love. A motorcycle from Hell dumped Eric on her doorstep. 

An accountant for a failing company, June longs for true love. In a Wiccan summoning ceremony, she swallows the moon in an effort to find her soul mate. What she gets is Ohio National Guardsman Eric Macmillan, who owns a cursed Suzuki Hayabusa and two spirits: DEA agent Jake the Snake, and the malevolent stripper Cora Cobra. 

Back from Afghanistan, divorced and un-employed, Eric is the third owner of a Suzuki Hayabusa. The other owners are dead, just not departed. He's looking for the artist who created 'Cora's' snake-inspired paint job. When Eric arrives at the scene of Jake's last sting, on a one-of-a-kind motorcycle, all hell breaks loose.

Van Man Go is the world's greatest airbrush artist. He will repaint Eric's Hayabusa, for the usual price. Like Cora Cobra and Jake the Snake, Eric must put his soul up for collateral. Cora and Jake failed to pay their debts, now the devil wants his due. 

Somebody's going to pay, and pay very soon. Who will it be?

Taste by Kate Evangelista
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

truly amazing and inspired! I have never read another like it! Kate Evangeliata is a kick ass writer! the detail and the imagination in her storytelling is breathtaking, I couldn't put the book down!

As a incredible fan of the strange and usual this book drew me in like a moth to a flame, the characters where so amazing an incredible. The humans above average in intelligence, while the Zhamvy are a race unlike any other ever, smarter, faster, stronger then we could ever hope to be. All in a school and the one is not suppose to know about the other and where one slip up can ruin everything.

The way that Kate describes the life of these Zhamvy is amazing, everything about their life is structured and ordered. Their royal court is so old yet at the same time so modern, the mix of the old in new in the book was fascinating especially when it came to battles and festivals.

The Love that the main characters Phoenix and Demitri have for each other is human but at the same time not and is affected by others and puts and interesting twist into the story, as well as the bringing into of the third and fourth parties Luka and Calixta. It brings hell down not only on their heads but the whole school of course and all hell brakes loose.

Kate is an Goddess of writing and I can't wait to see more of this story! I really hope she writes more! I would love to see what more was in store for the princes and for the whole Zhamvy nation!

Jonathan, and Erin.

My Review of Perverse

Perverse by Larry Rodness
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awesome book! I love all things Goth and all things vampire so when it came to this book everything was just win win...lol...the book had some amazing twists and turns and a very wonderful ending! I totally didn't see any of it coming!

Emylene Stipe is a Goth Princess, Literately, her parents are like Goth royalty and they own the biggest Goth club in all of Toronto. When out shopping one day Emylene buys an old sketch and takes it home to hang on her apartment wall, but little does she know the sketch is more then it seems and inside is a whole other world. Determined to salve the mystery of the sketch Emylene unleashes chaos, magic, and horror into her world.

Laszlo Birij was by all appearances a simple shop keeper, but appearances can be deceiving. The day Emylene Stipe walked into his store to purchase the sketch he knew there was something special about her and that she might be the one to break the curse. All Laszlo wants is to be with his beloved Mira again. Laszlo and Emylene team up to help save the town from the chaos that has been unleashed upon it, but if things don't go according to plan they may loose everyone they love or worse be turned into the things that they are hunting.

Larry Rodness is a fantastic writer! I loved the imagery and they detail into everything. I could see in my mind everything that happened as if it was a movie playing. Fantastic work Larry!

Excerpt from Larry's website

19 year old Emylene Stipe is a 2nd generation Goth who, like every teenage girl, is trying to find her place in the world. One night she comes upon an old painting in an antique store and is compelled to purchase it.  When she brings it home an image of a young woman appears in the sketch and then magically materializes in her apartment. Emylene nick-names her 'Poinsettia' and they soon become fast friends. But Poinsettia has an ulterior motive for her sudden and strange intrusion into her host's life which causes Emylene to question her whole belief system.

My Interview

Today I am here with the wonderfully talented Larry Rodness of the Paranormal Gothic Thriller Perverse. I can't tell you how excited I am! this book was awesome!  and rightly so is its author!

Larry a Canadian just like me has his hands in a lot of cool stuff and one of those things is writing. Perverse was defiantly a book of to get your Goth on ..lol.. and I loved it but it also had its action, love, and its heartbreak. 

Larry as entertainment professional and singer definitely has his hands full, but after getting to know him a little I get the feeling he likes it that way...lol...as he is not one to sit still long he seems to be always looking toward the next project.

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and what made you take up writing?

A: I began my professional career in the arts as a singer. I was hired for a season with the Charlottetown Festival back in 1975 to perform in the rock opera version of Hamlet called ‘Kronborg 1582’. After becoming immersed in the theatre I felt I needed write as well as perform – it was a voice begging to be heard. For the next few years I wrote 2 musicals and a dozen screenplays – 3 of which were optioned but not produced. During this time I was also working with a small writing group and was persuaded to rewrite my screenplays as novels. Boom! The first one was published in 2010 and the second one, “Perverse”, was published a few months ago.

Q: Can you please tell us a little about your book Perverse and what inspired you write it?

A:The kernel of the story came to me one day when I was browsing in an antique shop. I saw a common enough looking picture – a rural scene in winter. I asked myself, what would happen if I looked at the scene again and noticed footprints in the snow that weren’t there before. Then I asked myself ,who would have made those footprints and what would she be doing there?

Q: What made you decide to write a novel that had both Goths and Vampires in it?

A: As I was daydreaming I wondered what kind of person would I expect to find in a rural winter scene – perhaps a farmer, or a hunter. Who would I not expect to find there – a Goth teenager. Immediately I knew she would be my cipher for this adventure. The story involves not just vampires but a species called Vrykolakas which are undead beings. their origins being in Europe. These creatures are similar to vampires in that they prey upon the living but have additional powers and characteristics that I became fascinated with when I began to study the folklore. But truthfully, I had been obsessed and fearful of the vampire legends since I was a kid and I never grew out of it. My writing became a way for me to exorcise my demons and deal with them one way of the other.

Q: Do you yourself have any ties to the Gothic lifestyle? or know anyone who does?

A: I have no ties to the Goth culture except for my fascination with the occult, the paranormal, and even alien possibilities. My research for the book has led me to study the Goth subculture through the internet and personal interviews. Personally I have always wondered what lies beyond, and whether we as humans we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg as to what is around us. I find I am at my best when I allow my imagination to wander – although my wife often chuckles about it.

Q: What made you decided to write in the Paranormal Genre?

A: Most of us live rational, work-a-day lives dealing with family, mortgage, and business. Writing has always been a way for me to leave the mundane and express myself artistically without any boundaries. Writing about the paranormal actually gives me the freedom to ask some soul-searching questions and helps me balance my life.

Q: If faced with a Vampire what would you do?

A: I have been faced with vampires many times in my childhood dreams. I can remember waking up quite often in a cold sweat and terror-stricken. One of the reasons I wrote about the phenomenon was to help me lose my fears. As an adult those dreams occurred less and less. But if confronted one evening by such a creature I would be both frozen with terror and tempted to ask it questions that have haunted me all my life about life and death. I would probably conduct my own ‘interview with a vampire’ and write about it after.

Q: Who is your favourite Character? and why?

A: If you’re referring to any character I’ve written about or created in Perverse I would have to say all of them. That’s because they become your babies, your children. Your mind gives birth to them and you watch them grow on the page. Sometimes it almost feels as though the characters take on a life of their own and begin speaking through you. The writer just becomes the conduit.

Q: If your own life was the subject of a book what type of fiction would it be: humour  horror, love story etc...?

A: I have actually written about 3 chapters or experiences of my life. They all began as screenplays. My first novel entitled, “Today I Am A Man” is a semi-autobiographical account of the days when I was a young teenager and my family moved to Los Angeles. It is a coming-of-age story that touches on bullying, racism and sexual awakening. Instead of finding the promised land as we’d hoped, it was a disaster and I had to write about it to get it out of my system. My second story was about my younger brother who suffered and eventually died from cancer a number of years back. My third story was about the summer I worked with the Charlottetown Festival and was involved with the first Canadian musical that went to Broadway.

Q: Do you have plans to write a sequel to Perverse?

A: I have several ideas but I am waiting to see how the novel catches on. In the meantime I have a number of different projects in the wings so I suppose the readers out there will let me know if they want to hear more about Emylene Stipe and her family.

Q: What do you like to do besides write books?

A: Singing was my first love. In fact my wife and I met while we were both involved in singing and musical theatre. It was part of our lives for many years. Additionally I have always been involved in sports – mountain bike riding is my current favourite  But my wife and I are actively a part of the lives of our 3 children, who as young adults, are making their way in the world.

Q: What are you working on at the moment / next?

A: I am working on 2 writing projects, the first is called “October 32” a ghost story that occurs in the small town of Elora, Ontario. Years ago I went there during their Halloween festival and was amazed at how the entire town came together to create an incredible, visual effect. The story grew out of that.

The second is a book called “Matrimoany”, I’m writing with a lawyer friend – stories about marriages from Hell.

Q: Thank you so much for the interview, Larry. Would you like to tell my readers where they can find you on the web and where everyone can buy your book?

A: They can purchase my books in print and/or electronically through Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and most outlets online. They can also visit my website, www.larryrodness.com for more information.

Mothers Day! Are you Honouring your Mom? I Am

Mother Day is coming this weekend and I hope you all have your mothers day tokens ready. As a mother myself I know just how important this day is! As a mother I could talk to you about my children from sun up to sun down, but its not children's Day its Mothers Day so I am going to talk about my Mother.

My Mother is my everything! she is my best friend and she is my confidant  she is my shoulder to cry on and my babysitter when I need one...lol. She is a caretaker and a healer, a cook and a taste tester, she is an artist and a critic, and she is everything I aspire to be.

We didn't have a lot when I was a kid growing up but I remember she made each day special like it was an adventure, each day was a new day to explore and to learn new things. We never spent a day indoors when it could be spent outside exploring and using our imaginations! That was her most famous line..lol...if we dare say we were bored she would say "Go outside and use your imagination!"

She has worked hard her whole life sometimes working more then one job and taking us to work with her if she had to, and still is working to this day. When she should be looking forward to retirement she instead she is still taking care of people cause that is what she does best! she takes care of and lives with her sister (My Aunt Kathy) who health isn't good and together they work and build a home they can be proud of, They may not be the spring chickens they once were but they are still young enough and what is most important they are young at heart.

My mom, my aunt Kathy and I are all wiccan we have followed the wiccan traditions for a long time Kaleidoscope which is a pagan festival that takes place in June. She loves to make her own medicines  lip balm, soap, and tea, which she calls Grandma's Kitchen and we use them all around my house they are fantastic!
now. My mom likes to join covens from time to time and very much enjoys going to 

With our family being Native American she goes to alll the pow wows that she can during the summer and belongs to women's drum group and protests all the unfair things that people are doing to Mother Nature.

She is all these things and more but what she is to me is hard to put into words. She has always been there for me no matter what, even when I was the bratty teen who decided I was moving out at 15, and gave my poor mother a heart attack....lol ....and even still when I layed the bombshell at her feet of wanting to get married at 17 to a man 8 years older (who I am still married to, to this day 20 years later) she pulled up her boots and helped me plan a beautiful wedding and signed the permission for me to get married. She was there for each of my children being born telling me I could do it when I thought I no longer could. She never once has faltered, never once saying I was wrong. She is my rock and my never ending source of solace. I wouldn' t be who I am today without her. My Mother! 

To all Moms out there: Happy Mother’s day! We hounor you this Weekend!

its a blog hop!
