#PreOrderBlitz for Fated To Be His by Bree Westland #TheIndiePenPR


 
  Blurb 
  Blair Beckett’s motto was simple. Family first. Protect the clan. And always shield his heart. He used to be the easygoing twin. Not any longer. Witnessing his brother nearly die fundamentally changed him. Some believe him to be the spare of the two. But he knows better. The clan would fall apart without his 24/7, tireless all-in mentality. He’d sacrifice himself in a heartbeat to keep his family and clan safe. Emily Evers spends her days serving the public as a nurse. Then later her other persona takes center stage. The one who enjoys loud music, performing, and the lingering appreciation of the crowd. She can’t deny either one. The first keeps her grounded. The second stirs the depths of her restless soul. When Blair transports to Earth on a humanitarian mission, he’s drawn into a catastrophe in progress. But the devastation underway is too far advanced for even him to stop. So he focuses his efforts on the woman fighting for her life in the middle of it all. And his world tilts. Emily falls hard for Blair’s charm. But when she comes upon a force that has her faith wavering, all her years of training and her belief in herself grind to a screeching halt. With the remnants of her life crumbling at her feet, she questions her path forward. As the danger to their clan from the rogue fae escalates, Blair sets out to deal with the threat. Then the truth he knows well becomes all too clear. Their strengths lie in what they accomplish together. And he is very much alone. *Readers can expect healthy doses of hot shifters, naughty language, and intimate time with a fated mate, all wrapped up in a happily ever after. Can be read as a standalone romance but best enjoyed in the order written.

 In a few hours, MOLLY MAGUIRE’s life implodes. After her apartment burns down, a lawyer shows up at her office informing her that a distant relative left her a home in Loon Lake, Wisconsin. Then she’s fired. With nothing holding her back, and nowhere else to go, she heads to the small town.

Young retiree, GRANT REEM sold his tech start-up and was contacted by the owner of his family’s favorite vacation spot with an interesting next act: buy a tour boat company in Loon Lake. With nothing stopping him, and always putting his trust in the universe, Grant buys the business and moves across the country. When he bumps into the one who got away, his college girlfriend Molly, he’s thrilled, but she’s not the same go-getter who dumped him.

Molly’s new home floods the first night, and she escapes to the Inn with a few dry belongings. She bumps into Grant and learns of the local legend about her family’s curse. When she uncovers a treasure map, she decides to take a chance with Grant’s encouragement. As they search for the treasure, however, they met unexpected opposition, learn about local superstitions, and have to decide if fate—or some other force—wants them to win or lose.

From fist fights to dragon duels: NYT bestselling author Angela Knight explores how to write fictional combat.

 

As a novelist, teacher and editor, I’ve seen bad fight scenes ruin too many good stories. My objective in this book is to demonstrate how to write fights that keep readers on the edge of their seats -- and publishers begging for more.

I’ll discuss how to use YouTube to research combat techniques and construct thrilling fights blow by blow. You’ll also learn how to use those fights to reveal character and build reader sympathy.

I’ll demonstrate the warning signs of an anticlimax and what to do about it. I’ll show you how to build tension and excitement with every battle until you reach a climax that has the reader craving your next book.

 

Note: This is an updated and heavily revised version of my book, How to Write Fight Scenes.

Saving Saul is steamy second chance novel that mentions domestic violence which some readers may find triggering. A full list of the warnings will be found in the book. Saving Saul was formally a short story titled Hot Hex on a Platter in the anthology Once Upon a Halloween Night. It has been revised with new themes, a revamped plot, and a word count that has more than tripled in size (from 15K to 55K). Enjoy!
