Nancy Lee Badger Presents Author Donna Steele

Fellow North Carolina author, Donna Steele, stopped by to share her new book. Take it away, Donna!

I’m pleased to announce that A New Time, book three in the Guardians of Now Series is now available. This time travel/science fiction romance series is complete and available through Amazon and SoulMate publishing. Another Time, book one and A Different Time, book two are also available as eBook or paperback.

This saga has been a fun ride for me, and I learned so much from it. I don’t know how writers of historical fiction get anything done for getting caught up in the research. My hat is off to them for staying on task. I failed that too many times checking out how things really were in the past.

The mystery of why Dusty and Dee were transported to 1891 is finally revealed to them, though not in any way they saw coming. At last they have an understanding of what their role has been in the vast scheme of things. Please join them as they discover the truth.

Excerpt from A New Time

“I didn’t think to ask. Where are we headed? What’s the nearest hospital?” Dusty forced his eyes from the infant in his arms.

“Oh, sorry. We’re headed to Braddock’s Crossing Memorial Hospital,” the tech replied.

Braddock’s Crossing, of course. Dusty couldn’t even be surprised. He hadn’t realized they’d traveled so far. The name no longer startled him. He and Dee would no doubt end up retired here someday. This place was as much home as anywhere else he’d lived.

He glanced back to his child. Her eyes were open, focused on him. Could she see him? He moved her closer to his face.

“Hi, I’m your dad.”

She blinked at him, accepting the statement as though royalty acknowledging a vow of fealty.

A good analogy, since she already owned him, the same as her mother. His women to guard, protect, and love.

More about the author 

Women strong enough for love.

 

Donna writes science fiction, paranormal and small town romances about women coming into their strength and having the courage to find and accept love.

Now that she has retired from going into an office every day, she created an office at home and writes full time. Talk about living the dream!

She was the girl at the party who was yearning for the quiet corner and a book to read (go Rory Gilmore!) and has been writing in her head since she learned to read. Getting those stories down on paper (or in her laptop) has been more fun than she ever imagined it could be.

The possibilities of science fiction have always drawn her, and she's read them all, there just needed to be a little more romance in them. She finally got up the courage to write them herself and is delighted to be able to share these stories with you.

Release Day!

April 22nd was RELEASE DAY for my 28th book, Heaven-sent Flame. In this time of uncertainty, I am glad I work from home. I do miss volunteering as an EMT and Firefighter in the small town of Rumney, New Hampshire, but our move to Raleigh, North Carolina has given me the opportunity to follow my passion to read and write books. Here is a little bit about the 3rd and final book in my Warriors in Bronze series set in both Scotland and North Carolina:

An English lass grows up in a Scottish coven only to awaken in a strange new world with sculptures, a handsome man, and a hate-filled demon. Falling in love while saving the world was not the plan!

Excerpt from Heaven-sent Flame

Sam slammed the door behind them and threw the bolt. He pushed a button, and a grinding growl was followed by gathering darkness.

“What is that noise?” she yelled over the din, lowering her sword. Until he gave her a full explanation of why he pulled her back into his house, she would stay ready.

“The automatic shutters cover the front windows and the ones on both sides at the touch of a button. I use Bahama-style shutters on the side facing the road and inlet. I will leave them open, so we can keep tabs on the storm.”

More odd words, but if automatic shutters and Bahama shutters protected Sam’s home, that was all that mattered.

As he turned toward her to say something else, the lights inside the house blinked out. He flicked a switch on the wall bedside the door, but nothing happened. “I can wait a bit before pulling them all closed in a few minutes. Otherwise, we’ll be in the dark.”

“I understand.”

“I’m so sorry.” He hugged her, keeping her weapon at a safe distance.

HOT NEWS from Author Nancy lee Badger

Hot news! I recently set aside my writing to help my Mom get her belongings moved from Florida to here in Raleigh, North Carolina. She temporarily moved in with my youngest sister. 

The big problem being the statewide Stay-at-Home order during the Coronavirus pandemic. She could not tour apartments or houses!

As we watched the movers empty the truck she felt better knowing her belongings were now safe and it a climate controlled storage facility. She still had no idea where to live.

However, as we watched the movers with my other sister, we really considered a nearby 55+ community I had toured with this sister. We loved it!

So, after looking with the floorplans on-line and choosing an available unit, we managed to get the lease application filled out. She was accepted! Thank goodness for interactive websites!

Next: pick a move-in date!

Getting back to writing means taking more time off to promote Heaven-sent Flame, which will be released April 22 by Soul Mate Publishing. After that? Who knows? In the meantime, watch for the cover reveal and the pre-order links @Amazon.

I have several plot ideas and a bunch of scenarios, so I really will get back to my writing. Thanks for following me!

Nancy Lee Badger Presents Author Joanne Guidoccio

Joanne Guidoccio stopped by to share something exciting: she has reached out to readers during this pandemic and is spotlighted her Mediterranean Trilogy by offering a sale price on two ebooks. Take it away, Joanne!

Thanks, Nancy! In the Mediterranean Trilogy, which is paranormal romance released by Soul Mate Publishing, I feature the mermaids of the Bella tribe. In Book 1, Between Land and Sea, I follow Isabella on the road to reinvention. Having been brutally transformed into an overweight, middle-aged woman, Isabella struggles to reinvent herself as Barbara Davies.

After writing Between Land and Sea, I started to imagine more books involving the mermaids and ex-mermaids in the protagonist’s life. One night I dreamed of another mermaid, one not as kind and supportive as the characters in the first novel. The following day, a series of What if scenarios emerged: What if the new mermaid was somewhere on the Narcissist/Sociopath continuum? And what if she was determined to wreak havoc in everyone’s life?  

In Book 2, The Coming of Arabella, Isabella/Barbara’s life is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of her beautifully preserved twin sister, Arabella.

Ideas are percolating for Book 3 – The Making of a Mermaid Psychic.

Inspirational Quotes from Between Land and Sea

“Your path will diverge for a while, but do not let that worry you. You have known difficulty before, but you will survive and thrive.”

“You must take responsibility for your own life and make full use of your gifts.”

“Your life has turned out the way it has for a reason. And now, you need to unearth that purpose and use it for your own good and the greater good.”

“You should be ready to take advantage of all opportunities that arise. Accept every invitation. Follow each whim. Some will work out, others won’t. But don’t give up.”

“Whatever you decide to keep hidden could implode later…with disastrous results.”

Inspirational Quotes from The Coming of Arabella

“Life is good, and I intend to enjoy all the abundance the universe sees fit to send my way.”

“The only magic that exists is the magic you create for yourself.”

“You are in the present season for a reason. It is your job to figure out why.”

“Set the intention and let the universe figure out the how.”

“No one, absolutely no one, can ruin your life unless you give that person the key to your inner soul.”

Blurb – Between Land and Sea

After giving up her tail for an international banker, Isabella of the Mediterranean kingdom is aged, weathered, and abandoned on the fog-drenched shores of southwest England. She faces her human journey as a plain and practically destitute fifty-three-year-old woman.

With the help of a magic tablet and online mermaid support, she reinvents herself as a career counselor, motivational speaker, and writer of self-help books. Along the way, she encounters a cast of unforgettable characters, among them former mermaids, supportive and not-so-supportive women, deserving and undeserving men, and several New Agers. As Isabella evolves into Barbara Davies, she embraces her middle-aged body, heals her bruised heart, and learns to love again.

This contemporary version of The Little Mermaid offers hope and inspiration to anyone who has been dumped, deceived, or demoted. It will also appeal to mermaid enthusiasts.

Blurb – The Coming of Arabella

On the day of her engagement party, an ex-mermaid’s life is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of another mermaid—a sister she has never known. Under normal circumstances, Barbara Davies would be overjoyed, but her special day is already wrought with tension. While Barbara is not the first mermaid from the Mediterranean kingdom to settle in small town Ontario, she has yet to reveal her origins to her fiancé. So, when Arabella, the gorgeous sister whose disturbing black eyes banished her to the island of Crete, saunters into her life, clutching the arm of Barbara’s discarded lover, a powder keg of emotion is released.

Relationships falter and careers stall as envy stirs in the hearts of the sisters. On the verge of meltdown after her fiancé leaves Canada for a teaching job in Vermont, Barbara flees to Arizona hoping for a reprieve. There, she finds solace at a retreat for ex-mermaids and a second chance at love with a charismatic preacher. As she contemplates a new life in the desert paradise of Sedona, shocking secrets emerge and tragedy strikes. A stronger and wiser Barbara rises up to face these new challenges and embrace the best parts of her mermaid heritage.
