Video Trailer: Eternal Vows

Eternal VowsNever marry a stranger…even if he is a drop-dead gorgeous immortal king. Never pretend to be a princess. And most importantly…never slip on an ancient wedding ring you know nothing about. Sarah Larker returns to a cave where her sister disappeared ten years earlier. She walks through a portal and is mistaken for a runaway princess on the run by a dangerous immortal king in medieval times. Her plan is bold as well as daring-become this princess, wed the king, and slip on an ancient wedding ring that will unlock the portal back home. Then find her sister and run as fast as she can out of Dodge. But taking on the identity of Princess Gloria comes along with dangerous consequences; and slipping on the ruby ring comes with an even higher price.

Eternal Vows, the paranormal romance/fantasy adventure novel by Chrissy Peebles, is available from Amazon.com.

 

Jennifer Zane Announces New Release

gnomelessAuthor Jennifer Zane is pleased to announce the release of her new contemporary romance novel, Gnomeless.

Veronica is a plumber about to take on the family business. One big, handsome problem stands in her way.

Jack is the boy she mooned over in high school. He broke her heart, skipped town and never came back. Until now. Jack finds he’s homeless and forced to be roommates with the one woman he could never resist.

Jack discovers his lust hasn’t cooled for Veronica, but neither has she forgiven him. A sex-toy party, a meddling boss, an escape artist snake, a stalker in a fluffy pink coat, a house fire, and bitter cold all force them to work through their baggage and unrequited lust while catching the stalker.

Gnomeless was released in June 2012. It is available for Kindle through Amazon.com, and Amazon UK.

I affectionately refer to last year as “The Year of the Apocalypse.” I learned first hand what it is to battle health issues. It was not my desire to be able to evaluate the expertise of an I.V. technician, nor did I wish to experience the constipating effects of narcotics. These were realities I had to face as I struggled through the self-publishing process. You can read about the details of my health crisis on my blog here and here.

Some might say that oxycodone has this effect, but I prefer the opinion of a psychologist friend. I needed this person to make me laugh and to distract me from the two surgeries that were in my immediate future. He was as real to me as if he stood in my bedroom.

D.V. Berkom Joins the Staff of Indies Unlimited

We are pleased to announce that D.V. Berkom will be joining the staff of Indies Unlimited as a contributing author. She wrote her first book (a parody about the joys of house work) at age seven. No word on whether that one is still in print.

D.V. grew up in the Midwest, received her BA in Political Science from the University of Minnesota, and promptly moved to Mexico to live on a sailboat.

Several years and at least a dozen moves later, she now lives outside of Seattle, Washington with her sweetheart Mark, an ex-chef-turned-contractor, and writes whenever she gets a chance. Learn more about DV Berkom at her website and her Author page on Amazon.com. You can also follow her on twitter.

Please give a warm Indies Unlimited welcome to D.V. Berkom.

[NOTE: D.V. is traveling right now sans laptop and will return at the end of the month. While she won’t see your well-wishes, maybe the good karma will aid her in her journey.]
