Can't wait until Jan. 15th? Need to have the books in the Shifter Seduction Boxed Set now?
Check out Juneau Heat Book 1 in the Urban Heat Series by Tressie Lockwood if you can't wait until the Jan. 15
Shiya flew to Juneau, Alaska to confirm if the man she's been chatting up online is truly a shape-shifter. This was to be her first job in the field. As a tech geek, she's used to staying behind her computer and gathering all pertinent information about the existence of shifters so her family--shifter hunters for generations--can go and do the dirty work. All Shiya was supposed to do was to seduce Birk into revealing himself. What she didn't count on was how hot the man was in real life. She couldn't deny their chemistry and the reaction her body had to Birk. When Birk suggests they act on their mutual attraction, she can't say no. Then he sets the stakes even higher. He wants her to make his best friend her lover too. Kotori is the hottest Native American Shiya has ever seen, and her lust is ignited even more, especially given the danger she sees lurking deep in Kotori's eyes.

Two lovers--her family doesn't have to know she took the seduction to something physical, right? And when her play is over, she can go back home to San Diego with no qualms. After all, they're just animals. Shiya's reasoning is put to the test when her heart gets involved, and her life in danger when Birk and Kotori reveal they know who she is. Shiya's family wants Birk and Kotori dead, and her lovers want to lure the famous hunter family to their deaths. Shiya is caught in the middle. All that's left is abduction and seduction until something gives

Coming Jan. 15, 2014 Shifter Seduction Boxed Set

Six Great Authors all for the price of one.
Shifter Seduction coming soon from Amira Press
 
Dana fled her pack and their laws to live on her terms, but the price of defiance was her happiness. Could it be that now older and wiser, she can accept the Lycan menage way of life? Or will jealousy and fear send her running again?

Attorney Krista Owens hopes to lose some inhibition and maybe, finally, her virginity, but she doesn’t know the men she’ll be staying with are mountain lion shifters whose instinct to mate with any available woman can turn deadly, or that the moment Toby Woods sees her his feral side will stop at nothing to have her.

Shiya’s been chatting up Birk Rider online and agrees to meet him in face-to-face in Juneau, Alaska. When Birk suggests a threesome with her taking on him and his buddy Kotori Munro, she can’t say no to the sexy bear shifters, even if her family of hunters wants them dead.

A party turns deadly, and Karen is stalked into the dark night. Ancient lycan, Anthony, saves her, and an instant, undeniable chemistry ignites between them. But will the fire last after Karen sustains a bite from a rogue, and she finds out Anthony is something she thought only existed in horror stories?

October has escaped her kidnappers only to run into the arms of two very sexy wolves. The more Mika and Elliot fight their growing attraction to her, the more they desire to show October a howling good time. Together they will risk everything to save the woman they love before everything explodes around them.

Zelina thought she was sworn off dating--until she woke up between a naked set of twins. Rion and Quin are determined to prove that Zelina is their mate in any way they can. If that means keeping her in bed--under them, over them, or between them--so be it.

Guest Post: Artwork of The Kingdom of Vosh: The Chained Princess by Jason C. Conley



 Hello Everyone, 

I am pleased to have Jason C. Conley on my blog today author of The Kingdom of Vosh: The Chained Princess:


Interior artwork in a novel is something that can only enhance the reader’s experience.  I’m not sure if it’s a dying medium yet, but it certainly couldn’t hurt to see a resurgence in its use in mainstream novels.  When I began writing this book, the artwork played a key role in developing not only the characters and settings, but the atmosphere, mood, and heart of the story.  I created all the interior artwork for the book over the course of a year or so as I wrote.  Ideas would be fleshed out, some dropped, some expounded upon.  But being able to see a creature, to get a glimpse of their eyes and see their furiosity or a machine’s texture, it’s inner workings, even if just a little bit, helped to bring me into this world I had created, and hopefully you as well. 

It is important for an artist, no matter the subject matter, to draw from life as often as possible.  No one’s imagination, or memory for that matter, is good enough to just remember how to draw a city, person, animal or vehicle and include all of the subtleties of life.  Things like shadows, light sources, texture, wrinkles,  they bring a picture to life and establish it in a reality of sorts that is believable.

Animals have a different musculature than people, a different way of holding their weight and moving.  So when designing a creature for the book, I tried to imagine what the closest real life animal would be and then began to study how it held itself.  Like the Great Teras below, I wanted a hulking, weighty brute of an animal, something low to the ground and heavy.  So I went off of pictures of both an American Grizzly and a Komodo Dragon.  This formed the base, something to expand upon and develop.  A starting point.



Vehicles have difficulties all their own.  They have moving parts, their form follows their function.  You have to believe that at one point somewhere, someone designed and fabricated and assembled this working, moving wonder of engineering.  What are they made out of?  What is their fuel source?  How do they get from point A to B without crashing into a burning spectacle?  Now, you can go too far with this thought process.  This is fantasy after all.  But it should have some basis and semblance of reality in order to transport the reader into your world.  Using recognizable parts in an unusual way is a trick that you can use to not only make it believable, but interesting and fresh as well.  I designed the Sky-Cleaver Airships below using fins from a lion fish for their side sails, and part of an old Soviet submarine for the galley below the balloon.


The use of light and shadow can take a make believe creature and cement it in reality.  The picture below of Vork looks like a photograph. It was made completely in Photoshop, drawn with a tablet pen with textures for brushes and shading to add depth and volume.  Light plays tricks on the eye, giving the illusion of solid shapes on a two dimensional plane.  If you believe that a picture has mass and weight by the way light bends around the subject, then you might believe that is a real creature. 
Reality is subjective.  It has a lot to do with a person’s perspective, what they bring with them to the experience and how they view the world around them.  If I can pique your curiosity even briefly with creatures, vehicles, new landscapes or fantastical images, then I have you where I want you… and that is believing in a new world.

The Kingdom of Vosh: The Chained Princess by Jason C. Conley is now available!  Hardcover, Paperback, or digital.
