Unwanted Girl By MK Schiller Release Blitz

Title: Unwanted Girl
Author: MK Schiller
Genre: Multi-Cultural, Contemporary Romance
Hosted by: Lady Amber's Tours
Blurb: When a man loves a woman Recovering addict Nick Dorsey finds solace in his regimented life. That is until he meets Shyla Metha.  Something about the shy Indian beauty who delivers take-out to his Greenwich Village loft inspires the reclusive writer. And when Shyla reveals her desire to write a book of her own, he agrees to help her. The tale of a young Indian girl growing up against a landscape of brutal choices isnā€™t Nickā€™s usual territory, but something about the story, and the beautiful storyteller, draws him in deep. Shyla is drawn to Nick, but she never imagines falling for him. Like Nick, Shyla hails from a village, tooā€¦a rural village in India. They have nothing in common, yet he makes her feel alive for the first time in her life. She is not ready for their journey to end, but the plans sheā€™s made cannot be brokenā€¦not even by him. Can they find a way to rewrite the next chapter?
I am a hopeless romantic in a hopelessly pragmatic world. By day, I don a magic cape, calculator (sometimes an abacus), and an assortment of gel pens for my work in the world of finance. But by night, I sit by the warm glow of my computer monitor, and try to create passionate heartwarming stories with a healthy dash of humor and spice.
I am a wife and mother of two loveable, but angst-ridden teenagers, that provide great material for my craft. Although I love to write, I am a reader first and enjoy nothing more than curling up with a good book and some tasty Italian (the food, of course!). I hope you enjoy my stories. 
Excerpt 1
She shrugged. ā€œThe writingā€™s good, but I didnā€™t care for the characters.ā€
ā€œWhy not?ā€
ā€œThey felt one-dimensional. He comes across as a womanizing, self-indulgent fool.ā€
Nick arched his brow, his lips quirking into a grin. ā€œHeā€™s got his faults, but I wouldnā€™t describe him that way.ā€
ā€œAs bad as he was, though, the heroine was even worse. She seemed stupid and fakeā€¦almost vapid. She was always getting herself into trouble and falling into hot water.ā€ Encouraged by his amused smile, she continued, ā€œAnd I refer to hot water in the literal sense. The one I read, the girl was suspended from the ceiling over a pot of boiling water until Max Montero swooped in at the last minute.ā€
ā€œIt was acid, and he likes saving beautiful women from danger. Whatā€™s wrong with that?ā€
ā€œShe could have saved herself, or better yet, not gotten into the situation. And heā€¦well, he could have been nicer to her in general.ā€
ā€œNot every hero comes in a one-size-fits-all package, Shyla. Donā€™t hold back, though. Tell me what you really think.ā€
ā€œOkay, I will. I can appreciate a different kind of hero, but Iā€™d like one with a functioning set of scruples. In the scheme of things, these books donā€™t deserve shelf space with the others. They definitely fall into the dime store drivel category.ā€
ā€œOuch,ā€ Nick said, pouring himself another drink. ā€œI donā€™t think you understand the concept of sarcasm.ā€
She opened and shut her mouth as the realization hit her. ā€œYou were joking when you asked me to tell you what I really thought?ā€
ā€œYeah, but donā€™t worry about it.ā€
ā€œSo, what do you do for a living?ā€ she asked, anxious to change the subject. It was possible sheā€™d accidently insulted one of his favorite novelists.
ā€œIā€™m an author.ā€
ā€œHave you written anything I might have read?ā€
ā€œThe dime store drivel youā€™re holding.ā€
Uh oh.
Excerpt 2
ā€œWhat are the other meanings for shucks?ā€ she asked.
ā€œIt has many definitions. It can be a husk on the outer layer of corn. Or it can mean worthless.ā€ She gave him a questioning look so he offered an example, dropping his voice slightly. ā€œLike I donā€™t give a shucks about what we do as long as we do it together.ā€ Her face flushed slightly, her smile turning suggestive. Encouraged, he dropped his voice a few octaves more. Test the water, Dorsey, but donā€™t fucking dive in! ā€œOr it could mean to discard.ā€
ā€œDiscard?ā€
ā€œAs in peel off. For example, she shucked off her black T-shirt in a hurry.ā€ His feet dipped into the complicated waters heā€™d avoided, waters that could heat up to boiling point if they kept creeping down this dangerous path.
ā€œI see. So if I said, do you mind if we donā€™t shuck tonight, that would be a proper use?ā€
Nick opened his mouth to respond, to try to eat up the words already spilling out into the atmosphere, but she held up her hand, and her lips parted slightly. ā€œBut I hope we do shuck one day.ā€
Naughty girl.

Death of the Spirit (Crossing Death #2) by Rick Chiantaretto Blog Tour

Death of the Spirit *Crossing Death #2* Genre~Dark Fantasy/Occult I have no idea who I am anymore. In Los Angeles, I would have given anything to go home to Orenda, my world where magic was alive and nature spoke to me. Now that I'm back I feel out of place, burdened with responsibility. The human part of me misses the simplicity of Earth, the mage part begs for connection with magic, and the demon part? I don't want to admit that exists. As the darkness inside me grows, Iā€™ll learn to sacrifice for the greater good, as my people have always done. In order to save my family (both mage and human alike), I must face my nightmare, embrace the demon, and descend into the shadowy world of my enemyā€”the Hell of the Damned. Once there, I will have nothing left to fear but myself: Edmund Gavel, human, mage, demon... maybe monster.
