Blog postSo, I went an did a thing. I did an interview for ManyBooks.net, and I had so much fun! Make sure you check it out, there's a lot of little factoids about Prophecy, and I reveal which character (to date) has caused me the most grief.

Blog postThere are so many aspects to creating a long-standing writing regiment. You need space and time, and of course the right materials. But what are those things? Let's take a mini tour around my writing space to talk about some of my writing must-haves, and hopefully, you'll get an idea or two for your own space.
A Writing Spot
The number one thing that I need is a place in my living space that inspires my desire to work, and for me, t -
Blog postBy chance, have you read “Morpheus Eugenia”, a novella by A.S. Blatt, published by Random House in 1993. I read it long ago, and it impressed me…more than I knew. Years later, under the pen name Bianca Swan, I wrote Gemini Rising, and I believe this novella was the inspiration for my taboo dark fantasy. The novella is not a dark fantasy. It’s niched as “Historical Fiction”. Let me tell you a little about both the novella and the book. They are not alike, but the underlyi

Blog postI love animal shifter legends and one that caught my attention when researching for “Dance to a Wylder Beat” was the legend of the Ephraim shifters. When Lewis and Clark began their exploration of the western United States, they were surprised to find it teeming with giant bears. It is estimated, in Lewis and Clark’s time, there were over 50,000 grizzly bears and many (now extinct) species

Blog postLast year I was approached by one of my fellow writers who was working on her Masters in Professional Communication. Her plan was to get into the PR field for authors and she asked if I’d be willing to do an experiment with her. She proposed that if she came up with a marketing plan to increase my visibility as an author for a month, would I be willing to be her guinea pig?
Hmm…let me see. Work with someone getting their PR degree for free? Being the bright entrepreneur t -
Blog postAs I stated in my February post, I have this fascination with Celtic mythology, specifically the Tuatha Dé Danann. They are known as the Shining Ones, Sidhe (Shee), or the Fae. When I first created my Fae warriors, I sought to give them the name of Fenian.
Here is the definition of Fenian from Merriam Webster:
1. A member of a legendary band of warriors defending Ireland in the second and third centuries (A.D.).
2. A member of a secret 19th century Irish an -
Blog post"A short story is a love affair; a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film." ~Lorrie Moore
"My short stories are like soft shadows I have set out in the world, faint footprints I have left. I remember exactly where I set down each and every one of them, and how I felt when I did. Short stories are like guideposts to my heart…" ~Haruki Murakami
THE SHORT STORY
A short story is much shorter than a novel, generally dea -
Blog postBy Maureen Bonatch
We all have a lot on our plate, and if you’re anything like me, you’re continuously wanting to do all the things! Unfortunately, I’ve yet to discover a way to add more time in the day, or days in the week, to do all the things. Instead I shave a little time off my sleep, work through lunch, say no to that fun outing, or trade relaxation time for crossing more things off my list.
This method may result in taking care of some of that To-Do list, bu -
Blog postI’ve done something I rarely ever do—marked down one of my ebooks! That’s right, from March 1-31, 2021 I’m celebrating Prophecy’s 5th birthday (and five years as a published author) by offering it for .99¢. So don’t miss your chance to own the book that started it all for an insanely low price. The battle to free Earth begins in book one of the Prophecy series.
A nightmare of galactic proportions...
One normal day turns into horror when Earth is attacked. Now ER nurse Al -
Blog postHere we are on the 1st of March. Am I the only person who can't believe we're two months into 2021? That the covid-19 pandemic has been around for over a year?
I'm always encouraged when February is behind us. Spring is coming. Truly, it is. Never mind we still have at least half a foot of snow on the ground, but the streets are clear. Thank you, snowplow drivers and our dear neighbor who keeps our driveway clear.
Instead of focusing on the negative, even though I started -
Blog postI'm on a deadline. This is nothing new for me. I want to write all the things and love to say yes to new projects, and so I fill my schedule up. This makes me happy. Except, you would think, when something like snowmageddon happens.
I live in Austin, Texas. This February we were hit hard with an unprecedented storm. We get ice days about once a year (if that). They usually last they last 2 days at most. This one lasted 10 days with multiple rounds of ice and snow and then more ice. In -
Blog postBeta Readers
A beta reader is person who reads a manuscript for the good, bad, and the ugly, confusing or clever plot points, terrific or terrible scenes, or poorly or exceptionally written characters. It’s the way everyone reads a book, only now you’re asking someone to keep notes. A beta reader isn’t paid, but a token thanks such as a copy of the book is common. If you have cash for advice, don’t use a beta reader. Hire a professional.
Beta readers are often family or -
Blog postI’ve written two paranormal romance series – my “Touched by Midnight” featuring vampires and my “By Moonlight” populated by shapeshifters. If forced to pick one type of supernatural character over the other . . . I just can’t do it!
Thankfully, this is one of those rare months when I have two of my favorite books from two of my favorite paranormal genres for S*A*L*E! You can sink your teeth into both of them and decide for yourself!
First up (age before beauty!) is MIDNIGHT R -
Blog postA Twist Writing Through Adversity by Tena Stetler
Well, this wasn’t the topic I’d planned for today. But it is what it is. I’m a very determined person, I plot my road ahead and follow my path. Roadblocks do occasionally land in my way, I bulldoze a way around them and continue on.
2021 couldn’t get worse than 2020 could it? I never voiced those words until now. But February11, 2021 the COVID-19 possible UK variant roadblock cr -
Blog postWhen others talk about writing, and how solitary of a craft it can be, you might be inclined to think about a person sitting alone in a silent room, pouring over their novel. But, at least for me, it's quite the opposite. Sure, if you want to be a writer, you have to get the words out of your lovely head and onto a page for another human to read, but there's so much more to it than just the writing part. Easily, one of the most important parts is having a critique partner.

Blog postIn the 2020 Paranormal Romance Guild’s Reviewer’s Choice Awards, Life for Sale was nominated in Romance/Sci-fi and the series (Love for Sale and Life for Sale about humanlike androids) was nominated in Romance/Sci-fi-Series. How much of these books predicts the future of android technology?
Most. It may take 10-20 years to achieve the programming necessary for android feelings and complete autonomous movement (able to walk on human-like legs), but robot techn -
Blog postIs it because they are red, heart-shaped, or a Roman remedy for halitosis?
The Romans were the first to give newlyweds strawberries as wedding presents to help…ahem…with fertility. While their aphrodisiac claims have not been scientifically verified by the US FDA, the Romans were on the right track. Without the aid of modern technology such as a mass spectrophotometer, they correctly identified the berry best consumed when expanding your family. Strawberries are high in folic ac -
Blog postA long time ago in a land far far away, an inspiring author devoured novels in the burgeoning trope of SciFi romance. Finally, two of her favorite genres merged. But one thing about those stories bothered her. Why is it most of these books had the woman "kidnapped" or "stolen"? That got her thinking, what if an earth woman was given a choice? Would she take the chance to leave everything behind for the promise of true love? Of finding that one mate who w

Blog postAs a writer, I’m constantly surprised by the secondary characters in my stories. Often, they emerge silently through a scene. Yet their powerful presence does not go undetected by me or my readers, and they soon demand their own story. Let me expand further with one of my favorite secondary character who also became one of the greatest heroes I’ve written.
The Journey of a Fenian Warrior Leader…
To understand this great warrior, Aidan Kerrigan -
Blog postMy "Series Bibles" Hello everyone! It’s great to be back on Paranormal Romantics. This is my first post as a member of the blog in a few years and I'm so happy to be back.

Blog postby Maureen Bonatch
I rarely take selfies and I've never been one to like my photo, but when I took a new job over 2 years ago that was completely virtual, I began spending every day on Zoom video meetings. It took some getting used to, but now, virtual has become the new normal to me, and many.
So when I was asked to do a virtual book chat about Destiny Calling, I hesitated for a minute before I said, sure! What could be better than talking about books and some of my -
Blog postIt is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. Charles Darwin
That quote is particularly relevant over the past year. How we deal with change says a lot about our character. I've been known to grouse, complain, and cry over changes. Stiffening my spine and controlling my lip's quiver make me stronger. "Fake 'til you make it." Now that's something I can identify with.
Have y -
Blog postAll right, it’s the 61st day of December 2020. How’re all doing? Ha! Kidding, of course. <G>

Ready to dive into stories featuring seasoned heroes and heroines? Experience hilarious-encounters-of-the-golden-kind that redefine “senior moments?” Then you must check out this series!

Blog postIt's a new year and I'm determined to be positive. I am. I want to see the beauty in things and enjoy the world around me. There is so much good going on in the world. So that's my plan to see the good. Like sunsets, sunrises, my dog being nutsy, the cats being themselves and watching my tot grow. That's what my world is all about.
It's also about writing. Writing and reading are positive things to me. What are you reading right now? How about Savage Protector? It's h -
Blog postShifters vs. Aliens

Last week, the fifth book in my Shifter Towers series, DEMON ON JACKSON STREET, released. It is an MPreg MLM Paranormal Romance. And today, I’m going to share some information about my al -

On Sale for 99 Cents until February 5
Excitement brews in Crossroads for everyone but lawyer, Callum MacGregor. This year, the town harvest festival coincides with a total eclipse. With a recent breakup, Cal has no desire to attend until a visit from his old law partner, Isaac Bingham, drops a bombshell. Twenty years before Cal’s -
Blog postI won’t have a new book coming out for some time, as I’m just starting the first round of edits on my new romantic suspense. So how to keep my name visible during a time where there’s a huge captive audience still at home and looking for something to read?
With many readers on tight budgets, and some with no income at all, what would get them to look my way?
I’ve never given away one of my titles before, so I’m waaaay overdue! But which one? Though I’ve written 70 books
