Casting Call - Deacon


 Zachary Quinto would make an awesome Changeling, especially in the role of Deacon in Cursed. He definitely makes our fantasy cast for the Touched series, with that wicked look. Check out Deacon in this snippet and see if you can't just picture Zachary Quinto in this scene.

London scrambled to back away. Belatedly, she reached for her gun. Her grasp didn’t even come close. Deacon’s companions descended on her from behind, hooking her arms and twisting them up behind her back. She yelped at the pain, which only made them laugh.

Deacon held his blade out at a downward angle. The blood dripped from the tip. He snatched her jaw and jerked her face up to meet his cruel glare. “Look who is screwing with the elves.” He snapped his teeth just shy of the tip of her nose. “Playing wicked games. Wicked, wicked human.”

The Cursed blog tour comes to Urban Fantasy Reviews today. Kate gave the story a wonderful review! My favorite line was: "It ends with just the right amount of cliff hanger, and has quality writing within." I'm so jazzed to hear folks are enjoying the story so much!

Thank you Kate (@UFantasyReviews) for hosting the tour and for making me feel so welcome!

What an awesome review of Cursed! Besides the fabulous 4 1/2 star rating, the review was wonderful, very insightful without giving away any spoilers. There was so many great lines, that I can't pick my favorite, but I'll go with this one: " No doubt in my mind, I will be reading this whole series and the two companion series that go with it." I love hearing that, because I can't wait to share more of the world of The Sidhe with everyone!

Thank you @JenniferBielman for being a wonderful blog hostess, and I am jazzed about the next few days where we will be visiting you again!

Thank you Jenny (@Jensi555) for being a sweet blog tour hostess and for the 4-star rating! Looking forward to the guest post on your site next week!

The blog tour visited The Book Hook-up blog today, where Ana took the time to review Cursed and do a Q&A with me about the story and the series. Ana asked some really good questions, and I really enjoyed chatting with her. The review was awesome! She put Cursed on the second shelf, which means "This book was great! I will recommend it to lots of people. I'll lend it to you if you want, but please make sure to return it, I might want to read it again." That's great to hear!

A big Thank You to Ana (@BeingBold) for being a wonderful blog tour hostess!

Come on over to their blog to read a review of Cursed. My favorite lines from the review: "Her problem of having been Touched is achieved quickly, though, lending her the uniqueness of aching for a Fey.  Anybody who’s been a while without getting laid can relate to that." LOL! I love that!

Thanks Amanda for being a wonderful tour hostess and for the wonderful 4-star rating and review!

Casting Call - London


 Jennifer Connely is our fantasy cast pick for the role of London in the Touched series. We first meet London Eyer in Cursed. London is a private investigator specializing in parahuman cases, who gets herself tangled in the world of the Sidhe. Her best friend is a vampire. Her clients are wizards. And now she’s cursed right into the heart of the Sidhe conflict… with all sides trying to kill each other and her smack dab in the middle of it. Check out this snippet from Cursed, and see if you can't just picture Jennifer Connely in this scene.

Her blazer was a bit much in the heat of the day, but she wasn’t going in without her gun holstered under her arm. Maybe it was the curse that made her feel more vulnerable than usual, or maybe the ease with which Rico had disarmed her that had her questioning her luck-to-skill ratio. The fey were not human and she couldn’t anticipate them the way she could humans and parahumans. In this line of work, what you didn’t anticipate could get you killed. The curse was a case in point.

London glanced up at the arrow slits and caught the glowing glint of eyes before they blinked away. The Ghille Dhu inhabited the ruins, if they could be called ruins. She’d seen a flicker of what was hidden by the Glamour. Beneath the disguising layer of magic, the opulent décor would overshadow the collections in Buckingham Palace. London knocked on the open wooden door that appeared to hang on rusted hinges, aware that nearly everything in this place was an illusion.

“Bain?” She called out into the gloom. They were not skimping on the Glamour this time. Not a careless flicker of the magic gave away the true appearance. It put her on edge. Last time she’d been here, they hadn’t closed her out so completely. “Bain Greim? You remember me, don’t you?”

The prince of the Ghille Dhu had entertained himself with his bratty antics last time she visited the tower. This eerie silence crept over her nerves as threateningly as a dog’s growl. “Come on, Bain. I know you’re here.”

The scuttling sound of claws and scales against stone came from above. London searched the shadows overhead. As the creature hung upside down from the rafters, its huge eyes glistened wetly. Humanoid in basic anatomy, the thing was skeletal thin. Arms and legs half again as long as a human’s and oddly jointed so the knees and elbows angled backward like a mosquito. The flesh, as best as she could make it out, was a nearly black green. The ears pointed a full hand span above the top of its bald head. The rows of teeth it bore in its gaping mouth were needle sharp and inches long.

Show… No… Fear…

London drew her gun. Two-handing the grip she aimed it at the creature. “I brought gold,” she told it, voice steady. Precious metal loosened his tongue before, but this time Bain didn’t even blink at the mention of it. Bain used Glamour to appear human before. This time, not so much. More like the fey equivalent of “get the hell out… or I’ll eat you.”
