Interview: Author Dzintra Sullivan

Biography: Hello, I am BATMAN..... -laughing-... I just always wanted to say that.
I am happily married to an amazing Canadian man and a mother of four delightful children. i fell in love with books as a young girl, reading Judy Blume and Enid Blyton. i progressed onto loving the supernatural genre as a teenager and never left.

I live up in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, where the weather is always warm and sunny.

It has always been a dream to write a book, but i have never had the self belief that i could. until i celebrated my 40th birthday. it hit me, "now or never" so I pulled on my big girl panties, picked up a pen and paper and didn't look back.

"The Halfway House Series" is my debut series.
Where family isn't always blood related, and the impossible love is possible if you believe.

Now I want to take you under the water, into the magical world of water dragons.
I hope you can swim, because these men like it wet.
The Apalala Clan series is about to take it's first adventure with book one "Immersion".



The Halfway House Series centres around a house for trouble paranormals, who can't seem to control their powers enough to exist in the human world. They find themselves under the guidance of house mother Eloise Mayflower, and if they’re unable to pass the test set by the Paranormal Council before they turn eighteen, they will be either sent to the Island of Shadows or terminated on the spot.
Will love override everything? Can a family be found without a blood connection? One thing I can promise as the author of the Halfway House Series is, that whether you're a witch who can't cast spells, a vampire who faints at the sight of blood, or an angel who got pushed from heaven—within the walls of the 
‪#‎HWH‬, you will find acceptance, love, and also your true selves.

Interview: Author C. M. Boers




Biography: Obscured  was C. M.'s debut novel. What began as a way to spend her free time slowly transitioned into a passion for writing. She's currently working on her fourth novel.  The best is yet to come! 
 C. M. is a mother of three. She grew up in the sunshine state of Arizona with a love of reading and an ambition to write. But never took her writing seriously until after the birth of her first child. After that she took up writing more seriously in her spare time and hasn't stopped since. 


Obscured
Abby Martin thought she was an ordinary girl about to start high school. But when her mom announces that they’re moving to Arizona, vivid nightmares start plaguing Abby’s nights. As she settles into her new school and a cute guy named Pete catches her eye, she hopes that life might somehow get back to normal. To Abby’s horror, “normal” becomes a thing of the past as she’s swept up into a world of immortal protectors wielding supernatural gifts. When Abby realizes she’s a pawn in a centuries-old feud, she must figure out who she can trust before she’s caught in the crossfire.

Prepare yourself for heart-pounding suspense in the world of Obscured, where nothing is as it seems and danger lurks in unexpected places.
 


Divulge 
After Abby Martin’s friend is kidnapped by an immortal protector with an ancient grudge, Abby and her boyfriend Eli must follow the trail from Arizona to Colorado to stage a rescue before it’s too late. As growing danger encroaches on Abby and Eli from every side, she must confront the reality that her recurring nightmares are coming true. In the process, she discovers that she possesses a supernatural gift—one that she must learn to control before those around her start to die.

To make matters worse, her relationship with Eli is put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes. Can they rekindle their love, or will the walls between them prove impossible to breach?

Experience romance, suspense, and twists you’ll never see coming in Divulge, the second novel in C.M. Boers’ Obscured series.
 




Derailed
Abby Martin has normal problems for a teenage girl—her dad lives in another state, her mom’s boyfriend is moving in, and school and work are stressful. But these are the least of her concerns when she begins receiving threatening notes and a black SUV stalks her at night. As the web of danger tightens around her, panic sets in. With the help of her boyfriend, Eli, and best friend, Casey, she must find out who is obsessed with her before her nightmares come true.

Complicating her life further, Eli and Casey are both acting strangely. Who can she trust? And will she figure out what’s going on before she ends up dead?

Encounter Derailed, the heart-pounding third novel in C.M. Boers’ Obscured series.
