Deborah Coonts Visits our Haven this week!

Trouble always comes in threes.  At least that’s what Lucky O’Toole, the VP of Customer Relations for Las Vegas’ primo Strip casino/hotel, the Babylon, has heard for years from her mother.  So, tonight, when Teddie, her former lover shows up at her office unannounced and very unexpected, her father offers Teddie a job at the Babylon, she is called to deal with a pig in residence at one of the hotels most exclusive and opulent suites, and Lucky’s current lover, Jean-Charles Bouclet stops answering his phone leaving Lucky to handle his five-year-old son, Lucky figures she has tonight’s compliment of chaos covered.

A fantastic interview with Author Chrystal Vaughn!

Welcome Conspiracy of Ravens Author

Chrystal Vaughan to the interview table!

Avid Readers: Tell us a bit about yourself that our readers might not know.

Chrystal: I am a big coward when it comes to scary movies. I can read anything, and I can write some of the most twisted murder scenes, but I can't watch scary movies. Paranormal Activity gave me nightmares for weeks and we still don't mention The Grudge in my household.

Stranger at Sunset.....Eden Baylee stops by to say Hello

An Amazing Interview with Eden Baylee!

 
 

We're sitting in lounge chairs, sipping afternoon cocktails while overlooking the Caribbean Sea at our Sunset Villa in Jamaica, the tropical resort where Eden's latest book, Stranger at Sunset takes place.

 

 

Avid Readers: Tell us a bit about yourself that our readers might not know.

Eden: Firstly, thank you for hosting my interview, so lovely of you! The first time we spoke, your readers knew me as an author of erotica who wrote novellas and short stories. My current book, Stranger at Sunset is different in two respects. It’s a departure in genre -- a psychological mystery/thriller, and it’s also a full-length novel.

Avid Readers: As authors, we’re sometimes accused of being several people. How many personalities live in your mind?

Eden: Ha Ha! Touche! Too many to count some days. I talk to each of my characters, and I’m a silent observer when they talk amongst themselves. I make up conversations in my head all the time. It’s how I come up with most of my dialogue.

 
Avid Readers: How many plots do you include in one of your books?

Eden: That really depends and is based on the complexity of the story. With Stranger at Sunset, there

is one over-riding plotline, which is: How will the owners of a resort in Jamaica save their business after a scathing review? In addition to this are secondary plots, which have more to do with how characters will resolve their differences.

In my short stories, there were not enough words to cover more than one central plot, with a minor sub-plot.

 

Avid Readers:  Tell us about a typical day in your life as a writer.

Eden: In a word—Quiet. I usually get up between 7 and 9, take care of social media/networking/reading blogs/emails before noon. After that, I write, and that can be writing for guest blogs, my blog, and my upcoming book. Somewhere in between all this, I find time to eat, meditate, and exercise. I usually go to bed between midnight and two in the morning.

If I end the day with at least 2000 good words toward my book, I’m happy. Not very exciting, but I love it.

Avid Readers: What do you do to relax?

Eden: I love water. In the summer, I have access to a lake and water sports – swimming, kayaking, canoeing. I also have a boating license, but I prefer non-motorized vehicles. I  enjoy being alone in the middle of a still lake. It’s the perfect place to dream

Paranormal lighthouse mystery - Whispers at Ghost Point

Deanna Jewel

Romance Author

Enjoy this week's excerpt from Whispers at Ghost Point:

Goosebumps covered Dana’s arms just thinking of the ghosts. Had her interest stirred up more than she ever dreamed of? Had Sarah just been in contact with it? Dana glanced toward the tower, then pulled one knee up to her chest, resting her foot on the edge of her chair. She looked into Sarah’s eyes in search of answers and gripped Sarah’s hand. “What kind of message did you just receive from over there? Your color is gone so...I know you got something!”

Taking another swallow of wine, Sarah gazed back toward the tower and stared for a long time, as though she could see someone in the light tower. Sarah squeezed Dana’s hand. “Can you feel him pull on you at night when you’re here alone?” She turned back and met Dana’s gaze. “Because he does, you know.”

Again, goose bumps covered Dana’s arms even though the warm breeze surrounded them. Dare she tell Sarah about the cold air that envelopes her when she stands in the dark, alone at her window?
She changed her mind and sipped her wine, then attempted to change the subject. “How do you know it’s a ‘he’?”

“Are you serious? You know I can do that. I can sense both male and female spirits. It might take me a bit of time to figure out what they want and why, but I know what I know. For some reason, he’s picked you.”
