Our Guest Today is Author CJ Baty #ourauthorgang

Welcome, CJ! We're so glad you could join us today!

CJ Baty lives in southwest Ohio with her very patient husband and two encouraging children. Her heart, however, lives in the mountains of Tennessee where she hopes to retire someday. The mountains have always provided her with inspiration and a soothing balm to the stresses of everyday life.

The dream of writing her own stories started in high school, but was left on the back burner of life until her son introduced her to Fan Fiction and encouraged her to give it a try. She found that her passion for telling a story was still there and writing them down to share with others was much more thrilling than she had ever expected.

One thing she has learned from  life and she is often heard to say is, "You are never too old to follow your dream!"

Once upon a time, or so the story goes, there was a prince who threw a ball to find a wife.

He was a young prince, by his peoples’ standards, and though he had no wish for a bride, he was honor bound to make the attempt to find one. Of course, Prince Kit knew that it was not just honor that bound him to the duty. Prophesied or cursed, who could say. But since he was a babe, assassins and soldiers had come for him: in the dead of night, in the middle of court, amidst the steps of a waltz. They wished to end his life and with it end the lives of his people and the land he was meant to rule. It was a heavy burden for a young man to bear, worse for a prince kept cloistered for his own good.

But a wife,...well, a wife would provide an heir, and perhaps prevent his peoples’ doom.  And so, he danced with maiden after maiden at ball after ball  until he danced with her. 

She came out of the Darkness, a vision in a black dress and glass slippers, to join the throng for the Prince’s celebration. 

The first night she hid a small vial filled with arsenic in the folds of her gown, but it was knocked from her hand before she could upend it into his glass of champagne. 

The second night she brought a stiletto hilted in her garter that she never thought to draw and returned to her rooms un-blooded. 

The third night Eli ran from him, found her horse, and fled back to the forest from whence she came, desperate to escape his charming smile and the emotions she refused to acknowledge in his gaze that seethed in her heart, too.

He gave chase.  

What is an assassin to do when her prey hunts her down?

One waltz at a ball. One trip of a slipper. One Prince. And one Assassin.

Charming…simply, Charming.

Our Guest Today is Author Phil Hall #OurAuthorGang

Let's welcome Phil Hall to our blog today.

Born and raised in Iowa, corn-fed and happy! When I'm not writing, I'm a systems administrator/network administrator for a company in Iowa City. When I'm not working,  I'm with my lovely wife and spending time with my beautiful granddaughters. (I never thought I'd be a Grandpa!)

In my authorly persona, I'm just a guy with a simple dream: tell a story people like. I hope I've accomplished that with my first two novels: Memories of the Dead, and Minimal. For me, it's not about the reviews, it's about connection with others. There's nothing better than when someone reads my stuff and says "Wow!" I live for that. I hope they'll like my next work, too...and the one after that...and the one after that. (I have more than a dozen ideas in little folders on my computer. I can only hope to get to them all)

I'd love to visit with you, so feel free to contact me.

(for mature readers 18 yrs and older)

Lorcano, when he was a boy of sixteen, was envious of vampires: they were elusive, immortal, strong and powerful. But that was when he was foolish and young; and now, knowing what he knows, he understands that they are nothing but a plague on humanity--a disease that needs to be removed. He despises them because of the things they did, and continue to do, to the unknowing populace: treating humanity like nothing more than cattle. And, for that, they must be destroyed. This, his private journal--his memories--left for those who may find and read it, is a living record of the time when his destiny was first intertwined with unspeakable evil.

(for mature readers 18 yrs and older)

The Count is unleashed!  A serial killer has the police on edge. The Count's victims are identified by the tags he's left draped around their necks bearing a single designation: a number. Each removed organ was carefully wrapped in plastic, labeled, and the piecemeal corpse was left to be purposefully found. Previously, victims One and Two were located, Four has just been discovered, and pretty, young Bree Wilson has just disappeared.  Could she be next? With precious little to go on, Detective Zac Toumille and his partner, Jenny Clark, are dragged along in a media circus as the nightmare continues--all in the hope to end the reign of The Count and free the missing Bree before it's too late--before she is reduced to just parts--before she becomes--MINIMAL.

MINIMAL is free for a limited time on Kindle Unlimited (KU.)
