Happy Friday, everyone! This week, I'm reading to you from another in our series of Magic Emporium books - Elven Duty from Rhys Lawless. :D A Romeo and Julian sort of story without the tragic ending urban fantasy!  Elven Duty Magic Emporium #7 by Rhys Lawless My legacy is to hate him, but I can’t. This woman appears and tells me I’m an elf and she’s my grandmother. Not quite what I expected on a Thursday evening after another day at the office. Soon, I’m thrown in a world of duty, magic, and monsters. And a family feud as old as time itself. I would have run. I would have gone back to my old life. Or started a new one. But when the man I’m supposed to hate turns out to be my elven soulmate the only thing I can do is fight for my right to love him. No matter what kind of monster gets in the way. Elven Duty is part of the multi-author Magic Emporium Series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone’s in dire need. This book contains a forbidden love, a ton of creatures, a secret “baby”, and a guaranteed HEA. About Rhys:
Rhys Everly-Lawless is a hopeless romantic who loves happily-ever-afters. Which would explain why he loves writing them. When he's not passionately typing out his next book, you can find him cuddling his dog, feeding his husband, or taking long walks letting those plot bunnies breed ferociously in his head. He writes contemporary gay romances as Rhys Everly and LGBTQ+ urban fantasy and paranormal romances as Rhys Lawless. You can find him and all his latest projects on rhyswritesromance.com

It's here! Geoffrey the Very Strange is now loose in the e-wilds! The 9th Magic Emporium story, Geoffrey is m/m fantasy humor set in a very odd little town. (This odd little town calling Geoffrey "very strange" should tell you something.) Come snag your copy - available in ebook and print!  Happy Friday, everyone! I have a little excerpt this week to read to you from my release due out next week (3/18) - Geoffrey the Very Strange. :D This is Aspic and Geoffrey's meet-not-so-cute moment. Heh. Come have a listen!  Geoffrey the Very Strange
Magic Emporium #9 by Angel Martinez Amazon KU An outcast necromancer and a half-demon clerk need to save the world from seashell zombies. No pressure. Everyone's always told Aspic that trouble can't help following him because of his heritage. Determined to put the lie to half-demon stereotypes, he's finally landed a good, quiet job as an herbalist's clerk where the owner trusts him to man the shop alone. What could go wrong selling coriander and thyme? When Geoffrey first enters the shop, Aspic finds the little man's eccentric appearance startling, then intriguing. Geoffrey explains, in stops and starts, that he is a theoretical necromancer researching replacements for blood magic. His current line of inquiry involves seashells—do they have any in stock? Aspic's co-workers warn him that Geoffrey is a walking disaster, but he finds himself more and more drawn to a necromancer concerned with ethical death magic. Aspic is with Geoffrey in his lab when he has his first success, but the results aren't at all what he was aiming for. Instead of raising the dead rabbit on his table, the ritual animates the seashell and rock spell components, which flee the lab and cause havoc. They soon discover that the spell-animated objects are "zombies" in that they can "infect" other inanimate things. An unorthodox necromancer and an exasperated shop clerk are going to need some unconventional help to find a working de-animation spell before the world is overrun by zombie seashells and stones gone mad. Geoffrey the Very Strange is part of the Magic Emporium series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone’s in dire need. This book contains theoretical necromancy, unexpected spell outcomes, some extraordinarily angry seashells, and a guaranteed HEA. I have to ask this every few days because my plate is a bit of a platter right now. Doing my best to keep up. :D Current State of All the Projects:  Geoffrey the Very Strange - up for pre-order now
 The Anti-Quest - in line edits, currently on track
 Gravitational Attraction - rereleasing, on track
 In 2012, I started work on a story in answer to a superhero prompt. Naturally, I wanted to write a science fiction take on it - as you do - and Variant Configurations was the result. Originally meant to be a three book series, things happened and only the first book ever released. I do try to keep my promises, even if sometimes I'm a little late... Rarely Pure and Never Simple - rewrites in progress, on track
From The Noblest Motives - brand new, on track so far
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope everyone is staying as warm as they can. <3 This week I have an excerpt from #5 in The Magic Emporium series to read to you - Hexes and Horns by the wonderful Rowan McAllister. Urban fantasy, witches, a certain shifter - come have a listen! :D  Hexes and Horns The Magic Emporium #5 by Rowan McAllister Amazon KU Ryan O’Byrne has rules: 1) no using his magic, 2) no getting dragged back into his family’s craziness, and 3) no dating supernaturals of any kind, especially shifters … in other words, nothing and no one who will tempt him to break rule number one. But what if the gorgeous wall of muscle he can’t seem to stay away from just happens to be a shifter? Well, it is only a short-term thing, and he isn’t a master of denial for nothing. Leo Holt can’t help it if he has a teeny tiny weakness for bad boys—not really bad, just a little prickly around the edges. Even for a unicorn, all sweetness and light, all the time, can get a little boring. But, falling for the eldest son of the dark witch family who runs his little West Virginia town might be getting his fingers too close to the fire, even for him. For Ryan, it was supposed to be a simple trip back home to show support during a family crisis. But when hexes, secrets, a family demon, and the O’Byrne witches are involved, nothing is ever simple. Hexes and Horns is part of the Magic Emporium Series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone’s in dire need. This book contains explicit sex scenes, a muscular moonshiner, a reluctant witch, a spooky best friend, and a guaranteed HEA. About Rowan
Rowan McAllister is an unapologetically romantic jack of all trades and a sucker for good food, good cocktails, rich fibers, a great beat, and anything else that indulges the senses. In addition to a continuing love affair with words, she likes to play with textiles, metal, wood, stone, and whatever other interesting scraps of life she can get her hands on. She lives in the woods, on the very edge of suburbia--where civilization drops off and nature takes over--sharing her home with her patient, loving, and grounded husband, three furry rescues, and a whole lot of books, booze, and fabric. Her chosen family is a madcap collection of people as diverse as her interests, all of whom act as her muses in so many ways, and she would be lost without them. Whether her stories have a historical, fantasy, or contemporary setting, they always feature characters who still believe in true love, happy endings, and the oft-underappreciated value of sarcasm. [email protected] https://twitter.com/rowanmcallister https://www.facebook.com/rowanmcallister10 It's Friday! And time for another installment in our Magic Emporium Reading Day series! This is release #4 for the Emporium, written by the amazing Kim Fielding - The Muffin Man! Remember that all of the Magic Emporium books are standalone, you can read them in any order, but they all share one thing - Marden's Magic Emporium. And in this excerpt, we get to visit the Emporium itself! Come have a listen:  The Muffin Man The Magic Emporium #4 by Kim Fielding Amazon KU Morli is a prince on a mission—but he’d rather be baking. Baxter is a lonely production artist stuck in a pandemic lockdown. They are literally universes apart. But with a little help from a magic shop, a raven, and a dead great-aunt who was possibly a witch, Morli and Baxter are joined together on a cross-worlds adventure. Battling killer brambles in order to rescue an enchanted princess seems simple compared to their real challenges: discovering their strengths and creating a future together. The Muffin Man is part of the Magic Emporium Series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone is in dire need. This book contains reluctant heroes, sentient sourdough starter, lots of carbs (with some recipes!), and a guaranteed HEA. About Kim:
Kim Fielding is the bestselling, award-winning author of over 60 novels and novellas. Like Kim herself, her work is eclectic, spanning genres such as contemporary, fantasy, paranormal, horror, and historical. Her stories are set in alternate worlds, in 15th century Bosnia, in modern-day Oregon. Her heroes are hipster architect werewolves, housekeepers, maimed giants, and conflicted graduate students. They’re usually flawed, they often encounter terrible obstacles, but they always find love. Having migrated back and forth across the western two-thirds of the United States, Kim calls California home. She lives there with her family, her cat, and her day job as a university professor, but escapes as often as possible via car, train, plane, or boat. This may explain why her characters often seem to be in transit as well. She dreams of traveling and writing full-time. website: kfieldingwrites.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/KFieldingWrites/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KFieldingWrites Hello and Happy Friday! It's time for me to read another excerpt from The Magic Emporium series - yaaaay! This week, I have a fun one from Meghan Maslow and her fantasy romance, Must Love Demons. Forced proximity, an incubus who was trying his best, and an item of questionable worth from Cupid R&D. Come have a listen :D (Magic Emporium Series)  Must Love Demons
Magic Emporium #6 by Meghan Maslow Release date: Feb. 18 Kindle Unlimited Pre-order You’d think being magically tethered to the hottest warden in all Verona wouldn’t be a hardship. You’d be wrong. Incubus Nico Azertiran has his dream job as a cherub-in-training. It’s the perfect position for a lust demon who’s more interested in happily-ever-afters than one-night stands. Or it would be, if he didn’t keep screwing it up. When a new cherub gadget misfires, Nico is left trussed to Verona’s most eligible warden, the incredibly grumpy, Sir Flame. Flambeau Illume has a job to do. Someone’s murdering Verona’s rich and famous, and Sir Flame’s hot on the killer’s trail . . . until he has the misfortune to get magically lassoed to the most infuriating incubus he’s ever had the displeasure to meet. Except, maybe Nico isn’t so terribly awful. But how can he solve his case and keep Nico safe at the same time? Especially when the sweet demon seems to have a bullseye on his back. Together they need to solve the crime, stay alive, and—if their luck changes—maybe even fall in love. Easy, right? Must Love Demons is part of the Magic Emporium series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone’s in dire need. This book contains explicit scenes, a lariat of love, a demon tail with a mind of its own, and a guaranteed HEA. Happy Friday, Everyone! This week, I have the first of several excerpts I'll be reading for you from the new Magic Emporium series! This is going to be so much fun. :D (For all the info on the Magic Emporium series go to Meghan Maslow's website!) This first excerpt is from Brought To Light by Eliot Grayson - urban fantasy, assassin/target, elves, evil sorcerers and monsters - hooray!  Brought To Light Magic Emporium by Eliot Grayson Kindle Unlimited A hitman and a fae walk into a café… Callum always gets the job done—whether he likes it or not—but this job isn’t like any other. The target’s too young, too pretty, and too appealing for comfort, and the clients are offering more threats than cash. And either the target poisoned his hot chocolate or he’s going crazy, because now magic stores and wizard-looking dudes are appearing out of nowhere. It’s really not Callum’s day. Linden’s on the run, and the human realm’s a good place to hide from evil sorcerers who think Linden’s the answer to a prophecy. But his enemy has found a way to send a very human and very dangerous assassin after him—a man who could kill Linden with one hand. Linden should be terrified, but his knees go weak for all the wrong reasons. When Linden’s family is taken hostage, spending the night with Callum ought to be the last thing on his mind, but Linden can’t resist the chance to fulfill his deepest fantasies before sacrificing his own life. Callum knows he should walk away—it’s not his fight. But the beautiful fae is under his skin and now protecting Linden and his family feels more important than his own survival. A human learning to feel. A fae learning to trust. Can two worlds merge into one true love? Brought to Light is part of the Magic Emporium Series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone’s in dire need. This book contains explicit scenes, a magic flashlight, a prophecy that doesn’t quite work out the way anyone expects, and a guaranteed HEA. About Eliot:
I’m an editor by day and a romance writer by night, at least on a good day. I’m more of a procrastinator by day and despairing eater of chocolate by night when inspiration doesn’t flow and my day-job clients are driving me to insanity. Go ahead and guess which of these is more common. My steady childhood diet of pulp science fiction, classic tales of adventure, and romance novels surreptitiously borrowed from my grandmother eventually led me to writing; I picked up my first M/M romance a few years ago and I’ve been enjoying the genre as a reader and an author ever since.
