Okay, so I’ve been a fan of carnivals ever since I was a kid. They don’t come around too often anymore, but once a year during Halloween we have a carnival and freak show that I love to attend! So I was very excited when I was asked by Paranormal Haven to write a guest post for their Spring Carnival event. 

This one is from the viewpoint of Taeg, my hero in MARK OF THE SYLPH. If you have a moment, please stop by and check it out!

CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE SPRING CARNIVAL EVENT.

MARK OF THE SYLPH, Book Two, Demons of Infernum SeriesMotS-500px

Half-demon Taeg is desperate to free his pregnant sister-in-law, who is spellbound to an indestructible book that will create an army of the undead. He is convinced that an ancient sword can destroy the book and the spell forever, but this relic has been hidden for a millennia by a powerful glamour. The clock begins to run out on his search when an old rival goes after the book and Taeg’s family in his quest for revenge.

Librarian Maya Flores has a secret: she’s immune to magic and is well aware of the supernatural beings prowling the streets of New York City. Haunted by a brutal demon attack that took her family, she is on a one-woman mission to destroy the evil demons who did it—and any others who get in her way.

Maya is Taeg’s best hope for uncovering the sword. Unfortunately, she wants nothing more than to kill him. As he fights for her trust and to save his family, she is forced to face the truth that not all demons are evil. And the worst part? She might be falling in love with one, too.

I’m super excited t0 announce the release of Angel’s Kiss, Book 4 in the Fallen Warriors series!

Angel's Kiss Cover Art

ANGEL’S KISS

Book Four in the Fallen Warriors Series

In a world where angels rule over humans, twelve outcasts dare to defy expectation, warring with their angel brethren to prevent the extinction of humankind.

They are The Fallen.

When fallen angel Jason answers Michael’s summons to an abandoned warehouse in New York City, the last thing he expects to find is a covert rebel group hiding underground…one that’s led by a stunning nephilim who unmistakably belongs to him.

Ruby Miller has always known the angels who claim to protect humans have a hidden agenda. She’s lived off the grid ever since the day her father was killed by his own kind for protecting humans, and is determined to stop the angels from succeeding in their plot to destroy mankind. Then she meets Jason, a sexy fallen angel who claims she’s his mate. Falling in love is not part of her plan. If only she could deny the sizzling attraction that pulls them closer together.

As the Fallen and Ruby’s gang of rebels work together to gain proof of the angels’ nefarious plans, she must decide whether to stay focused on her mission…or surrender to the sweet ecstasy of this angel’s unforgettable kiss.

I loved this story! There was a sweet buildup to the romantic relationship with sexual tension and some steamy scenes. The two characters worked really well together and truly respected each other. The action and suspense were great, and we got to see the overall arc of the story move forward. There were also teasers for future stories with some of the other characters, and nice interplay with early characters. Another solid winner in this series!

I’m super excited to announce that today is release day for Mark of the Sylph!

MARK OF THE SYLPH (Demons of Infernum #2)

This story features my favorite hero of all-time. Taeg is a sarcastic smartass who meets his match (and then some) in archaeology student (and part-time demon slayer) Maya! If you haven’t read it yet, here’s a bit more about the book:

St. Augustine and the Olde City, New Blood Conference

Posted by Rosalie Lario under General | Tags: , , , , , |
[8] Comments 

IMG_20130210_143157I had the pleasure of attending the Olde City, New Blood Conference in St. Augustine on February 8-10, 2013. It was a weekend of many firsts: my first reader-oriented conference, my first conference as a published author, and my first time to St. Augustine. So I alternated being a drooling fan-girl to awesome authors like Cynthia Eden and Caridad Piñeiro, meeting with some amazing readers and bloggers, and being an awestruck tourist.

The conference took place in a hotel located on beautiful St. Augustine Beach (the picture on the left is of some pretty cool kites floating from the pier right next to the hotel; below is my only shot of the hotel—> author fail, lol). The temperature ranged from low 70s during the day to low 50s at night, which was enough for more than one tourist to bare almost all on the beach. But for this South Florida girl, it was a tad bit chilly, so other than a brief stop on my way out of town, I stayed off the beach.

IMG_20130209_181759

On Saturday, I did a fun meet and greet event by the hotel pool with two other authors: Laura Kaye and Hildie McQueen. Hildie was awesome enough to bring zydeco music…and piña coladas! The pics below illustrate just how much fun it was:

[That's me on the right.]

IMG_20130209_140324

I also got to attend some of the panels. My favorite was Sunday’s ‘Authors In The Audience’ panel, where a large group of authors turned the tables on the audience by asking them questions! A close second was Saturday’s ‘Shifters: Where The Weres Are’ panel, in which the authors discussed the types of shapeshifters they wrote (love me some shifters).

IMG_20130210_102030

Oh, and let’s not forget the charity book signing on Sunday. So many authors in one spot…drool!

IMG_20130210_124852

Besides all the fun conference activities, I took some time to tour the gorgeous sites of Old St. Augustine (some pics below). For anyone who has never been there, I certainly recommend it. What a thrill standing inside buildings that were over 400-years-old! We don’t have too many of those here in Florida. :-)

So, to sum up, I had a blast, I am now a hugely freakish fan of St. Augustine and of all the amazing people I met, and I absolutely cannot wait to go back! Thanks to Jennifer Morris for putting this together, and I hope to see you all next year!

Entangled in Love Blog Hop!

Posted by Rosalie Lario under Contests, Demons of Infernum | Tags: , , , , , , |
[48] Comments 

Update: The winner of the Entangled in Love Blog Hop is Melissa Keith! Congrats Melissa, and thanks to everyone for participating!

Welcome to the Entangled In Love Blog Hop, which runs from February 8th to 15th. You’ve got plenty of chances to wins lots of great prizes, so be sure to stop by each site on the hop!

February is the month of love and romance. What better way to celebrate than with books?

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve always snatched up a romance whenever I needed a little pick-me-up, whenever I wanted to experience the magical moment of characters falling in love. As I grew older, my passion switched from historical romance to contemporary, and finally to paranormal, where I’ve remained for the better part of a decade. Something about characters with a little bit ‘extra’ really gets me going. So it was only natural that, when I started writing, I would gravitate to the genre of paranormal romance.

I’m a total sucker for the Beauty and the Beast theme, and you’ll catch a hint of that in my book, Blood of the Demon (Book 1 in my Demons of Infernum series). The hero, Keegan, is a half demon, interdimensional bounty hunter who’s determined not to give in to his attraction to psychometric art gallery owner. Not only because of his half demon heritage, but also because, in order to save the world, he may be forced to kill her. Here’s a little more on the story:

BotD-500pxBLOOD OF THE DEMON, Book 1,

Demons of Infernum

Keegan lives to exact revenge on the evil demon who sired and abused him. When his father devises a plan to bring on the apocalypse, he and his three half-brothers, interdimensional bounty hunters for the Elden Council, are charged with capturing and delivering their father for punishment.

Art gallery owner Brynn Meyers has no idea that her ability to read memories embedded in objects and drain people of their life force means she has demon ancestry. Unfortunately for Brynn, she’s also the key to raising an ancient zombie army, which puts her on every demon’s Most Wanted List.

And no one wants her more than Keegan’s father.

Keegan must protect Brynn from his father by any means necessary, but he’ll have to learn to harness the other half of his genetics—the far deadlier, uncontrollable half—when he starts to fall for the one woman standing between him and the vengeance he so desperately seeks. The one woman he’ll never be able to resist.
