Silent Partner Book Blast #stanschatt @GoddessFish
This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Stan will be awarding a $25 Amazon GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.
Silent Partner is a paranormal mystery, a police procedure novel with a female detective that will remind you of Harry Bosch, a ghost story that suggests what lies beyond death, and a comic look at a tabloid where the “truth” is whatever sells.
Enjoy an excerpt:
“Duh. Of course I am, but I’m also the one who tripped you. Give me some credit for that. I think it’s like a hundred years of bad karma if you let the person you’re protecting get killed.”
“You’re protecting me? How come you didn’t keep me from being shot?”
“Give me a break. I told you that I’m new to this. The bullet only nicked your butt; so don’t make a federal case out of it. If I hadn’t tripped you,
you’d be paralyzed. You should be grateful to me.”
Josh felt a cold shiver run up his spine.
“Then you’re dead?”
“We don’t refer to it that way. We like to say that we’ve moved to another plane.”
“How come I can see you?”
Andy smiled thinly.
“You Harrells have a gift. Everyone has a guardian angel, but only certain people can see us. It’s easier in a way for us if you can’t see us.”
“You’ll keep anything bad from happening to me?”
“There’s such a thing as free will, my dear. I can only help you so much.
If it’s your time, then it’s lights out. Now that you’re thirty, things are going to get a lot harder.”
“What do you mean?”
Josh had a sinking feeling in his stomach, and it wasn’t the alcohol.
“A lot of things are going to change for you now. As I said, you Harrells are gifted, although some of your relatives thought of it as a curse.”
“I don’t believe this. You mean my father really did see someone? He wasn’t crazy?”
“Of course he saw someone. I hope you don’t throw your full glass of whiskey at me the way he threw his at his guardian.”
“How could you possibly know that?”
“You’re asking too many questions. Just take my word that everything’s relative, including time.”
“What do you want?”

The Good Sister: Part One
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Written by: London Saint James
Narrated by: Kitty Barclay
Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins
Reid Addison feared nothing, except how the mousey little blonde daughter of his housekeeper made him feel. Even though Trinity Winslow wasn’t his type, there was something intriguing about her.
Lord Ashton Archer lived a fairy tale life with property all over the world, was heir to a ducal dynasty, and had women fawning all over him. Anything a man could want, he obtained by the snap of his fingers.
By a twist of fate the three of them find their way into the same illicit world of the infamous Madam Jacqueline Claudette Rousseau. But will they find what each of them truly desires? Or will they always long for the forbidden?
Note: The Good Sister: Part One is a 2-book series. It is best read/listened to in order.
~Audio Excerpt~
~About the Author~
London wrote her first short story in the second grade. Her teacher informed her parents London had a big imagination, but having a big imagination wasn’t necessarily a good thing as far as he was concerned. Without watering that seed of imagination, London placed her vivid characters, her childhood stories, along with her imagination on the shelf, where they would wither for a while. At the urging of her eighth grade English teacher, London pulled her imagination off that shelf, and wrote her second short story. To no surprise, it was a love story inspired by a song. Then as life does, it moves on, so yet again London placed her imagination on the shelf to wither for a while. She needed to do the “sensible thing.”
The sensible thing earned London a degree in Psychology, but while in college she traversed into writing once more, and was encouraged by a couple of professors to pursue that endeavor. She took on the world of written word, and has never looked back.
London writes erotic romance from sweet to downright naughty. She is an author for Evernight Publishing, a member of the Romance Writers of America, and a member of Passionate Ink.

Ever wonder how a story is born? Or several best-sellers? SALE! #RomFantasy
I thought I’d tell
you something about each of the books that is currently on sale at ARe Romance
eBooks. Some of these titles are my all-time best-sellers, and each one has a
background story. So, instead of book blurbs, I thought I’d share the history
or inspiration behind each of these titles. You can find blurbs and excerpts
anywhere, right? A few of these titles may vanish soon, as well, so if you’re
curious and would like to read them, a sale is a great time to do it!! When you
order from ARe, you have all formats available, and they can send direct to
your Kindle, just like Amazon.
So, let’s get start,
and I cheated and downloaded all the links and info in alphabetical order:
Price: $4.99 SALE:
$2.99
This was my first
paranormal novel, and it encompassed my love for Historicals and the allure of
vampires. It seems a natural marriage, beings who can ostensibly live forever,
they’d be walking through history. In this one, the first part of the book is
set in the 1700s, and slowly moves into the modern era. There are three
vampires at the core of the book, which was inspired by a little Canadian
series called Forever Knight. The oldest of the trio is an ancient, who was
created before Christ–the other two are his companions and more or less
daughter and son. He loved one woman, and lost her, this is the core of the
historical section. In modern times, he rediscovers her reincarnation.
ARe Best Seller
Price: $2.99 SALE:
$1.99
This one came about
when one of my publishers decided to do a line of fairy-tales for adults. I’d
done one before, and really loved it. That anthology never happened because the
promised stories were never delivered. So, first one is no longer in print,
though it’s due for a comeback in a whole new version very soon. I’ve always
loved the whole Cinderella thing, so it was a natural choice. In this one, I
had a lot of fun figuring out who’d take what roles in the telling. It’s been
generally well received, so I’m happy, and it quickly became the #1 best-seller
on the publisher’s site. It might still be, I haven’t looked lately.
Price: $0.99 SALE:
$0.74 (after rebate)
Hide and Secret began
with a different title and was intended to be just a short, sexy essay sent
from a woman to her lover. I shared it with a friend who pushed me to expand it
by several thousand words so it could be submitted to her editor at Ellora’s
Cave. We worked on it for a few days, then she approached her editor. I
submitted it the following week, and a couple of weeks later it was accepted.
What I found interesting is the editor said this little story contained some of
the hottest sex she’d ever read, and I’m notoriously bad at the erotic scenes
in my books because I don’t like writing those scenes. Guess I got it right,
because it’s been my best-seller for Ellora’s Cave. Originally it was intended
to be stand alone, then I outlined a prequel and a sequel for it, making it the
centrepiece of the Secrets Trilogy. The other two have never been released, and
I have no idea if they ever will be. Quinn and Bella are a great couple, though
their relationship was anything but typical.

Price: $3.99 SALE: $1.99
Hunters’ Game, as some
people know, began on a dare to me. Over ten years ago, on a trip to Toronto,
author Nancy Baker joined me and a few other friends on a Goth Club adventure.
I’d never stepped foot in a club like the ones we visited that night. I soaked
up the atmosphere, and watched the crowd, it was fascinating. That’s when the
challenge was issued, what kind of story could I create from all this. I wrote
a short story the next day that became the basis for Hunters' Game. It was first released until the simple title, The Hunt, but this version is longer, hotter, and a great deal more intense.
Price: $1.99 SALE:
$1.49 (after rebate)
This one began life as
a piece of fan fiction based on a single character who was a guest star in one
of my favourite shows at the time. I was fascinated with the idea of a
protected federal witness who was a former drug lord, and added the twist of an
undercover agent who was more than a little bit friendly when using Carlos as a
contact point for information. The first release of this was a title called
“Any Other Way” and it got great reviews. Years later, after it had been out of
circulation for a while, I submitted a new version of it to Ellora’s Cave, and
my editor liked it. We worked in more detail and fleshed out the idea to it’s
present form. The change of title followed to fit the them better.
Price: $3.99 SALE: $1.99
When it was first
released back in 2004, this novella was nominated for an Eppie Award. Again,
this concept grew from an award winning piece of fan fiction, then it took on a
life of its own. It’s one of the more complicated stories I’ve released, and
it’s the only one I’ve included a voyeurism scene in–that was a bit different
to write. Ultimately, there are really two stories being played out, and in
some weird twist, the less likeable of the two “heroes” is the one who gets his
girl. The other one…well, now’s your chance to find out–at half price!
ARe Best Seller
Price: $4.99 SALE:
$3.99
Here again, a
combination of fan fiction, and original. Angel-Fire was a brief fiction based
on Pirates of the Caribbean the year it came out. A couple of years later, I
created a unique pirate of my own, and his story evolved Angel-Fire a little
further, and then continued in The Phantom’s Lair. I could probably write a
dozen stories with Captain Jack Stanton. Storm-Singer was originally published
in Margaret Cater’s Tales from the Crypt magazine, and again, was re-edited for
this release. This one has an unusual pair at its core, a shape-shifting witch,
and a vampire Prince who is legendary, and has a few unexpected tricks he
employs on the locals who fear him. The collection was released as “Rogues”
with Solstice Publishing, but after I asked for rights to be returned, the
three stories underwent extensive editing, and was renamed simply Pirates! I
think they’re better stories now, and they quickly became a best-seller at ARe
Romance. Who doesn’t love a sexy pirate, after all?? Yo ho ho!!
Price: $2.99 SALE:
$2.24 (after rebate)
This is a story that
was meant to capture my love of things spooky from Halloween. An abandoned
hotel that most fear is haunted, a curious young woman, and a highly erotic
plot by her older lover make for a night of surprises. Unfortunately, being a
top-flight operative in the world of spies and espionage leaves a man with a
lot of enemies, and the past is never far away…

International posted a call for ménage stories, and I’d written only one before
this, something they published, as well. To amuse myself, I created two
vampires who are both old friends and deadly rivals. Rahve Falcon owns a
fashion business, and Cord Vincente is his general manager and coordinator.
Enter Deluna Jordan, a photographer known in fashion circles, catches Cord’s
eye and they begin a relationship that is soon noticed by Rahve. The two men
are adversaries when it comes to women, and have often shared their passions.
Deluna intrigues Rahve, and it isn’t long before he moves in a takes her
attention from Cord. The confrontation that is inevitable is both highly erotic
and lethal…
ARe Best Seller
Price: $2.99 SALE:
$1.99
This was my first
attempt to write ménage, and I have to admit, while it was a hell of a lot of
fun, it’s not a genre I feel overly drawn to. The premise was simple, and it
was to be written in six pieces, as columns for an online ezine. Much to my
surprise, it was hugely popular once the first installment was published. The
next pieces of the story actually turned into a truly seductive and erotic
adventure for the occupants of the yacht that capsizes and leaves then
stranded. Two couples, all friends. When Iris dies from her injuries, that
leaves two men and the sexy Giselle alive on an island in the middle of nowhere.
One man is her husband, the other her best friend…and soon she has two ardent
lovers who want to share every fantasy she’s ever had. But once passion has
been sated, nothing will ever be the same for them.
Price: $3.99 SALE:
$1.99
Older man, younger
woman. Back to the world of espionage. For a lot of people who have followed my
writing as it’s progressed, odds are you first saw my fan fiction, and a lot of
that was intelligence and operations. The whole genre is one that I love. This
story returns to those roots. The Domino Effect is a dark story in many
regards, and tests the strength of the hero, Martin Fowler, in a multitude of
ways. Dani is the only child of Marty’s mentor, and she’s fifteen or so years
younger than Marty. When one of his enemies grabs her to use as leverage
against Marty, his vengeance is guaranteed to be deadly.
Price: $3.99 SALE:
$1.99
I was asked to write
something original for a fantasy world and it was a whole lot of fun to combine
a love of pirates and fantasy world building. I created a parallel world to
ours, it’s called Thaer (There) and then built a structure in which the worlds connect.
There are time loops, gates of magick, and a sexy pirate captain–all waiting
for the sorceress who may free them from their exile here. Magick tossed them
through the gate and left them stranded, but when their hope arrives, with no
memory of her alternate life or her magical abilities, Dayne takes a chance on
the eroticism of their passion to restore both to her before it’s too late for
them. Thaer is a world that mirrors our own, but in many ways it is both the
past and future of Earth. Magic and sorcery are commonplace, and beneath the
vast sands of Cairos and the waters of Venicia lie secrets that may hold the
key to travel between worlds and time itself...
I hope you’ve enjoyed this inside look at where the stories
originated, and that you might want to explore a little further. This sale is
offering some of my best titles, and I hope you’ll take advantage and discover
worlds that interest you, and heroes to die for… Sweet or smouldering hot sexy,
there’s a hero for every woman in this set of exotic tales.

I’m not an erotic romance author... #RomFantasy
Yes, you did read that correctly. It felt good to write it. Ironic
as it may be to many people, it’s true, and I’ve only recently realized it was
okay to actually state it publicly. I fell into writing erotic romance and erotica
because of a contest, and a desperate need to move into the world of being
professionally published after moving radically away from fan fiction. Most
people know that story, so I won’t rehash it. (It’s been talked about in many
interviews, and here on my blog.)
A few days ago, I stumbled across a blogwritten by the incomparable Jaid Black–she who founded the powerhouse that
changed smaller publishing forever, Ellora’s Cave. In the days since reading
her blog post, in which she states clearly she’s tired writing about sex, I’ve
noticed a number of other authors associated with the genre have also come
forward and repeated the sentiment. It’s generally followed by the statement
that they are going more mainstream, so romance–yes, less raunch and roll–hell
yes! Some people, and yes I am one of them, have been saying for the past
couple of years that the market will swing back to more traditional books in
time. You can only write so much sex before you get numb to it and it becomes
tedious and a chore. The human body can only DO so many things, and I’ve read
stuff that made my eyes bleed–because it’s not humanly possible to do some of
this–not and survive intact, let alone beg for more. (Just a word to the wise here: Shit like this does not prove how
creative you are, it proves how desperate you are to shock readers…in my
experience most readers don’t like those kinds of make you cringe shocks.)
I fell into the erotica stream by accident. It was, I admit,
the only avenue open to me at the time I wanted very much to get a professional
publishing contract in my hands. I sometimes enjoyed writing the sexy stories,
and probably still will when the story whispers to me that it’s time for
everyone to get down to business, but as a rule, I’m pretty much out of the
market. I was never very good at it anyway because after the first couple of
years, it became such a chore. I’d often have manuscripts that were mostly
written, except for the sex scenes needed to sell them… many of those books are
still in the files, and still unfinished.
I grew up on Harlequin Romances. I love them to this day.
They’ve grown more risqué and are blatantly sexual and sensual nowadays. What
they are not, though, is filled with language that would make a sailor blush–no
offense meant to sailors, of course. The characters who populate mainstream
romance are passionate, sexy, driven–but they’re also emotionally engaged on
levels that many erotic romances miss the mark with because the sex is getting
in the way. The mechanics of sex become just that, mechanical, without your
characters being emotionally engaged in what they’re doing. Moving body parts
get boring, fast. I’ve had many readers write to me and tell me they love my
stories but skip over the sex scenes. (Ironic,
given how agonizing they have sometimes been for me to write.)
For most of the past 12-18 months I have been frozen
creatively. I open files of stories I have outlined and partially written, I
tinker, and then I delete. I hated everything I was writing, and hating myself
for not being able to write. For the first time in my entire writing career of thirty
or so years, I have missed deadlines, and misread guidelines, and promised at
least three books that are still not finished. This does not sit well with me,
as I pride myself on my ability to be professional and responsible. I still
couldn’t finish those stories, in one of them, I wrote 10K words that flowed
onto the page and were vivid and alive–I hit the first sex scene, stalled, and
have never been able to get back to writing it.
Depression is a whispering demon when this happens to many
writers, and it’s plagued me like the disease it is. I’ve learned to stop
beating up on myself for my perceived short-comings and lack of talent. One of
the biggest revelations is that I can write, and write well, IF it’s something that keeps me excited
about the writing. It’s a difficult thing to write story after story, promote
and interview and blog all over, knowing in your heart that you hate what you’re
selling. I gave myself permission to write what I want to write again, with the
help of an amazing editor and friends who have seen the torment I’ve put myself
through over all this. So, for the first time in over a year, I’m writing. I
did spend much of the year in hell relearning my craft, though, so even while I
didn’t write, I didn’t leave it all behind. I’ve read, and read, and learned
how to build a better story. Now, it’s time to put the learning to work.
I’ve created my first series, it’s in outline status at the
moment, but I’m so excited about it. (I even had a professional design team
create a logo for the series, which you can see here.) I’m
finally moving ahead with revisions on my first mainstream sensualromance, and it’s making me giddy I’m so pleased with it now. I’ve detailed
my first romance with an older couple asthe hero and heroine, and it promises to be wonderful! There are no less
than seven novels pending as my creativity comes back online and confidence
strengthens. If/when the story tells me it’s time to get down and dirty, I’m
sure it’ll happen, but now I’m not forcing myself to make it happen. I don’t
foresee a return to behind closed doors romance. I also don’t foresee the
demise of erotic romances. What I do see coming is a less sex-hungry readership
as the balance returns very slowly to the industry. There IS room for everyone,
but for some of us, the agony of having to write sex to sell just might be
coming to an end.

Old West sexy... Taste the Champagne and Chocolate #RomFantasy

Spanning almost two centuries Descent Into Darkness is
the erotic love story of an ancient vampire and the mortal woman who is his
obsession.
Alexander DeLenoir is an ancient creature of the night, born in a
betrayal that has left him without conscience or morality. He’s witnessed
history that is now myth. Throughout his long life, Alexander has seldom sought
companionship, and never has he looked for love. He has kept two of his immortal
children with him, through whatever means necessary, and is not intending to
expand his family.
Arriving at a small Massachusetts town
after killing the sailors on their ship, the vampire trio meets the mysterious
and lonely wife of the innkeeper, and Alexander is entranced by her beauty and
her indomitable spirit. In Amberlaine Calvert, he senses a nature as dark and
depraved as his own seeking freedom. Despite the protests of his companions,
Alexander takes her and in adoration of him finds an obsessive kind of
happiness.
When the town slowly awakens to the evil among
them, a bloody slaughter ensues, and Amberlaine is forced to see the madness
that will define her life with Alexander. Yet, in spite of her fear, she is
obsessively devoted to the powerful vampire, and the darker things she feels
lurking within her are about to be unleashed by a hunger even greater than her
passion—the thirst for revenge against those who dare to threaten their
existence…

Agent Jade Lazlow–Whinton have had a relationship of convenience over the years.
Jade’s retired, but when her estranged husband needs her, he uses her attachment
to the enigmatic Carlos to lure her back into the field. When she recovers from

have been killed, and these two unlikely lovers are forced to face a truth
neither of them has been willing to examine too closely—that their passion is
more than intense attraction.
