Kiss Me, Kill Me Anthology

Click for Kindle

It’s announcement time! Those of you who were already on my mailing list have already heard about this (and dude, how cool is it that there ARE people subscribed my newsletter?).  For the rest of you, I wanted to let you know that I have a story published in the newly released paranormal romance anthology, Kiss Me, Kill Me.

This anthology brings together short stories from nine great indies for the ridiculously low price of 99 cents. What’s more, all proceeds from the sale are being donated to GreaterGood.org which is involved in literacy and children’s education along with a host of other good deeds.

Blind Sight introduces you to the future hero and heroine of the first full length Mirus novel, Revelation (coming, we all hope, in the fall). You can most certainly read the story without having read my other Mirus novellas, but the identity of the heroine here is a nice little Easter egg for readers of Devil’s Eye.  Events in Blind Sight take place right before Revelation.

And now for the rest of what’s inside…

Voyage into the realm of the paranormal with this nine author short story anthology. Sink your teeth into:

A Ghoulish Valentine by H.P. Mallory:
Dulcie O’Neil can’t help her attraction to Knight Vander, much though she tries to fight her feelings. When she begrudgingly accepts his invitation to dinner and a movie, the last thing she expects is that she’ll be defending herself against a cemetery full of hungry ghouls and one incredibly sexy man.

Cat Fight by Zoe Winters:
Cat Fight takes place in Zoe Winters’ “PretVerse”. Greta is a cat therian (shifter). She’s been involved with Dayne, a local sorcerer since she sought his protection from her murderous tribe. After a fight, Greta shifts into cat form and refuses to come back out.

Impulse Control by Susan Bischoff:
In the world of the Talent Chronicles, kids born with supernatural powers are taken from their families and forced into government research facilities called State Schools. At one such school, a group of Talents must work together to stop a dangerous experiment that’s already killed two of their peers and threatens others. If they’re caught they face Detention, and Detention at a State School has a whole different meaning.

Wild Passion by Lori Brighton:
James is a treasure hunter intent on collecting a deadly, priceless statue. Then he meets Adelaide, a stubbornly beautiful and mysterious woman who knows more about the statue than she admits. Suddenly, James is tempted to give up everything for the one treasure he can’t seem to own … Adelaide.

A Fairytale Ending by M.T. Murphy:
An unlucky actress discovers that there is no good and bad when it comes to vampires and werewolves, only bad and worse.

Blind Sight by Kait Nolan:
Isla’s ability as a Seer has made her a life-long captive of a paranormal crime lord. Fae assassin, Ransom, offers her a chance at escape, but when she touches his hand she sees only blood, horror, apocalypse. What reason can Ransom have for wanting to rescue her, and can she possibly trust a man who deals in death?

The Sacrifice by Toni LoTempio:
After a chance meeting with the mysterious Alfred Barstow, Jennifer is swept off her feet by his whirlwind courtship of her, so much so that she accepts his proposal of marriage. Leaving her boyfriend Peter behind, she heads off to start a new life in California, unaware there’s more to Alfred than meets the eye – and a sinister plot behind his proposal. The Sacrifice is a story about what happens when the man of your dreams turns out to be your worst nightmare…and then some!

Until the Breaking of the Day by Daniel Arenson:
The Underground. A realm of flame, blood, and knives in the dark.When its prince returns from exile, a young demon girl will learn his secrets.

If You Leave by Stacey Wallace Benefiel:
Despite their devotion to one another, Gabrielle and Jorge have been living separate lives. That is, until Gabrielle’s life ends. Reunited and it feels so…complicated?

Other Stuff To Note (Compiled by the awesome Susan Bischoff):

DRM info: I can see that the Kindle edition has DRM. DRM was something I didn’t think to bring up, and of course once that’s done it can’t be changed. I would assume that the NOOK version also has DRM (I don’t actually know how to tell that from looking at a NOOK listing). If you need a DRM-free version, please go pick up the anthology at Smashwords.

Formats and outlets: Ebooks for Kindle and NOOK, and Smashwords multi-format listings are all currently available. Other ebook outlets will be coming along once the listing is distributed by Smashwords and posted by the various retailers. As far as I know, there is no intention of producing a print edition of this anthology. Hopefully, since these are just little bites, even those who haven’t fully embraced digital will be able to enjoy the ebook version.

PubIt! authors: We could use you help with something that could affect you in the future. There are nine authors on this anthology, yet PubIt currently limits contributors to five. A thread has been started on the PubIt! Help Board, letting BN know about the issue and that it’s important to us to be able to credit all authors who participate in such a work. If you’re registered with PubIt, you’re registered to post on the board (actually, if you’re registered at Barnes and Noble period, I think you can post on the board). It would be great if you could take a few moments to post even something as simple as: “Yes, this is important to me too. Please fix this problem.” Just to let them know that we care about seeing this issue fixed.

Help spread the word! The usual methods apply. If you love any of these authors and the stories in this book, please help us get the word out by using the sharing buttons, tweeting and retweeting, leaving reviews, and all that good stuff. Book bloggers who need more information should contact the project’s coordinator, HP Mallory.

Thanks so much for your support.
