Tweet by Boone Brux: Love Knows No Bounds Anthology for Autism Speaks

I’m so thrilled to be part of Entangled Publishing’s project to raise money for Autism Speaks.

My novella, Tweet, was inspired by a real life event. As my husband drove around looking for a restaurant, I pulled out my iPad to search for the address. After finding it, I popped onto Twitter and began surfing. I don’t know how, but I stumbled upon Satan’s Twitter account. Seriously, the profile said, By clicking follow you agree to bind your soul to Satan. Or something like that in 140 characters or less.

My husband and I laughed and I said, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that was true?”

I froze with one of those wide-eyed expressions a writer gets when a great idea pops into their head. From that moment Tweet was born. Though there are more Satan and social networking stories in my near future, I had to offer this one up when Liz P. when she put out a call for the Autism Project. 

100% of profits go to Autism Speaks, an organization that helps families by providing resources and information. It’s amazing to me how many people are touched by autism and I’m so happy to give Tweet to this great venture.

Tweet Blurb:

When one time ultra-shy girl, Faye Albert, decides to live a little, she inadvertently binds her soul to Satan by following the Dark Prince on Twitter.

Now she needs to break the contract or face eternal damnation. With time running out and her desperation growing, Faye enlists the help of Christopher White, a gorgeous photographer from work and her secret crush.

To sweeten the deal Satan’s minion tempts her every step, offering her things she’s only dreamed of. Will Faye be able to say no to a lifetime of earthly treasures and possibly lose the only man she’s ever loved or will her leap of faith finally deliver exactly what her heart has yearned for?

Entangled in Love Valentine Guest Blog and Giveaway with Boone Brux

To celebrate Valentine’s Day several of the characters from my Bringer and the Bane series have gathered to answer the tough questions about love and relationships.

Please welcome our cast.

Rhys and Ravyn, the main characters of Shield of Fire.

Luc and Jade, the hero and heroine of Kiss of the Betrayer.

Icarus and Sha-hera, Demon Bane, and mortal enemies of the Bringers as well as each other.

This should be interesting.

First question, what was the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for you?

Ravyn: I’d have to say it was when Rhys saved me from Vile, the Demon King. He’d been a jerk that week, so I figured he’d written our relationship off. It was a lovely surprise to wake up and find him hovering over me.

Rhys: (Nods) I was rather amazing—in a romantically heroic way.

Luc: I once had a woman name her breasts after me. The right was Luc and the left was Le Daun. It made love making very interesting. 

Jade: (Clears throat) And narcissistic I’m sure.

Luc: All right then, what was the most romantic thing anyone ever did for you?

Jade: None of your business.

Luc: Come on, give it up.

Jade: You lead off with naming breasts and expect me to share a special memory? Forget it. Can you go to someone else please?

Icarus: I don’t understand what you mean by romantic.

Sha-hera: I once had a man tell me he loved me.

Icarus: We’re you getting ready to kill him?

Sha-hera: No.

Icarus: Was he enthralled.

Sha-hera: Not even a little.

Icarus: Then you’re lying.

What would be the perfect Valentine’s Day date?

Ravyn: A day of doing nothing but lounging around Alba Haven. No fighting or training. No chores. A lovely dinner with friends followed by an evening in Rhys’s arms.

Rhys: I’m good with that.

Luc: I like Ravyn’s idea, but I’d add an abundant amount of wine and maybe some dancing girls.

Jade: (Crosses arms and pins Luc with a glare.)

Luc: And an evening spent in Jade’s arms?

Jade: Are you asking permission, because after that, my answer is no. You’re going to live a sad and lonely life if you don’t brush up on your relationship skills.

Icarus: The perfect date would be sucking six or seven souls and then having everybody leave me the bloody hell alone.

Sha-hera: I have to agree with Icarus on this. Several soul suckings, but instead stomping off to be alone, I’d engage in a hearty sparring session with my succubae. I’m always so exhilarated after absorbing souls, especially if they’re innocents. I need to work off the excess energy.

What is your favorite gift you’ve given or received?

Ravyn: Most definitely it was the dagger Rhys gave me. Sure, we were in the heat of battle, but it saved my life.

Rhys: No question, the best gift I ever received was Ravyn’s maidenhood.

Ravyn: Best gift I ever gave as well.

Luc: (Reaches to take Jade’s hand) Every moment I spend with Jade is a precious gift.

Jade: The fact that he’s willing to lie through his teeth to keep the waters calm is the best gift Luc can give me. You might have noticed that we butt heads at times. (Leans in and kisses Luc) But we’re trying.

Icarus: The best gift I’ve ever given myself was when I ripped out Sha-hera’s throat and sent her back to the Shadow World. (heavy sigh) That was a great night.

Sha-hera: The best gift I ever received was when the Demon King publically humiliated Icarus, stripping him of all authority, and put me in charge. (heavy sigh) That was a great day.

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to share your Valentine’s thoughts. It’s been very enlightening.

BLOOD HUNTER SERIES - Book Two by Nina Croft

Breaking assassin Jonathon Decker out of a maximum security prison on Trakis One seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, pursued across space by the two most powerful factions in the universe, the crew of El Cazador are having second thoughts. They’d like to give him back. Unfortunately, that no longer seems an option.

Jon is used to working alone. Now, he’s stuck on the space cruiserEl Cazador until he can work out just what he’s supposed to know that puts him on everybody’s most-wanted-dead list. He’s not happy that the crew includes a runaway priestess with designs on his virtue—such as it is. Jon likes women, but he gave up the role of protector a long time ago, and Alexia, High Priestess of the Church of Everlasting Life, is an accident waiting to happen.

After twenty-four excruciatingly boring years of doing her duty, Alex is finally having some fun. She never meant to run away—it was a rash impulse—and she means to go back—eventually. But first, she’s going to squeeze enough excitement out of the situation to last her a lifetime. And what could be more exciting than a stunningly gorgeous werewolf?

Meanwhile, the Church are chasing their missing priestess, and the Collective are pursuing their escaped assassin. Being hunted has never been more deadly…or more fun.

GODDESSES RISING - Book One - by Natalie J. Damschroder

Their power gives them strength…and makes them targets.

Quinn Caldwell is the epitome of a modern goddess. Her power source is the moon, her abilities restricted only by physical resources and lunar phase. She runs a consulting business and her father’s bar, serves on the board of the ancient Society for Goddess Education and Defense, and yearns for Nick Jarrett, professional goddess protector and the soul mate she can never have.

But someone has developed the rare and difficult ability to drain a goddess of her powers, and Quinn is a target. With the world thinking Nick has gone rogue (whatever that means) and that Quinn is influenced by “family ties” she didn’t know she had, keeping themselves safe while working to find the enemy proves harder each day.

But not as hard as denying their hearts…

A HELLSBANE BOOK - Book One - by Paige Cuccaron

Emma Jane Hellsbane just found out she’s not human—or, at least, not only human. She’s half angel, too, and now Heaven’s got a job for her: round up all the Fallen angels and their red-skinned, horned devil-demon minions and boot their butts back into the abyss. Only problem? The demons and their Fallen masters fight back…and they don’t fight fair.

Luckily for Emma, she can put a stop to the constant threat of having her head hacked off if she figures out which Fallen angel is her father—and then kill him before he kills her. Of course, in the meantime, she’ll have to avoid accidentally seducing her angelic mentor, help an old friend conquer his own Fallen sperm donor, and basically save the world from a cataclysmic divine smack down.

No one said being Heaven’s bounty hunter would be easy. But with a name like Hellsbane, Emma Jane was born for the job.
