Vibrizzio - Lyssa Bates doesn't need a man...

Release Day!

Vibrizzio (The Big V Book 1) by Nicki Elson

Available on Amazon

Lyssa Bates doesn't need a man, not while the world is fully stocked with double A batteries and a wide array of options in Amazon's health and sexual wellness category.

Nicki wanted to get a man’s reaction to that tagline, so I showed it to my husband.

His first response:

“Obviously I’m not the target demographic.

His second response after some prompting:

“Good luck with those double AA batteries.”

Congrats on your release day, Nicki!

Coffee shop owner Maggie Maguire doesn’t trust the new police chief her father hired to protect Maguire’s Corner. He’s a stranger, cold, bossy and annoyingly handsome. But, Maggie’s witnessed a serious crime and now someone’s trying to kill her. The man that aggravates her most might be the only one that can help her.

Police Chief Jack Munro likes his new job and his new town, and unfortunately he also likes the stubborn but beautiful town sweetheart. His self-imposed hands-off Maggie policy is about to be put to the ultimate test when he must keep her close to protect her while he tracks down a ruthless killer.

Determined to ignore Jack’s charms, Maggie attempts to help him unravel the mystery but when their lives hang in the balance she must decide how much she’s willing to risk to save the man she suddenly can’t resist.

Heather M. Gardner's love of books began on the hand-woven rugs of her small town library where her mother worked. There she had a never-ending supply of stories to read at her fingertips. As a teen, her favorite genres to curl up with were romance and mysteries. When she started to create her own stories, they were the perfect fit.

Heather resides in New York with her best friend who is also her husband, plus her talented and handsome son. She is currently owned by four stray cats. Heather's a full-time mom, works part-time from home, a chocolate enthusiast, coffee junkie, cat addict, book hoarder and fluent in sarcasm.

What Are the Kargrandes?

The ship of legends…

The future is set for Lt. Commander Aden Pendar, son of a Hyrathian Duke. Poised to secure his own command and marriage to the queen’s daughter, he’ll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

But when the Alliance denies Hyrath’s claim on the planet of Kavil and declares war on their world, Aden finds his plans in disarray. Entrenched in battle and told he won’t make captain, Aden’s world begins to collapse. How will he salvage his career and future during Hyrath’s darkest hour?

One chance remains–the Dragon. Lost many years prior, the legendary ship’s unique weapon is Hyrath’s only hope. Can Aden find the Dragon, save his people, and prove he’s capable of commanding his own ship?

The Insecure Writer's Support Group - Dragon Soldier Diane

It’s time for another edition of The Insecure Writer’s Support Group, founded by Ninja Captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh.

April is the A to Z Challenge. I’m not participating here, but I am posting April 2, 9, 17, & 24 over at The Insecure Writer’s Support Group. In addition, I am one of co-host Susan Gourley’s Dragon Soldiers and will be assisting her this month.

Since everyone will be busy with the A to Z, I will not be posting on my regular schedule again until May. (Outside of one or two special promotions.) Some of you may be stopping by to meet me though, so I’ve decided to tell you a little bit about myself.

I’m the author of seven books, including How to Publish and Promote Your Book Now. Right now I'm working on some paranormal romances stories.

I’m a professional speaker and a member of the National Speakers Association. My website is Spunk On A Stick, and that’s also my speaker name. I do seminars and talks on publishing, promoting, websites & blogs, goal-setting, and leadership.

I offer services for writers, including book formatting (print, EPub, Mobi), private consultation, and stock photos.

On a personal note, I’m a vegan, roller coaster junkie, and collector of Minions. I’m married and we have one crazy kitty named Rocko. I’m a type-A, spunky redhead who can’t hold still for long.

In a nutshell, I’m Hammy the Squirrel - nice to meet you!
