The next exciting and hot book in the fabulous PNR fantasy, The Titanian Chronicles.
Hagen drags himself to the gates of Hell, body and soul shredded by the bloodlust that consumes all the unmated of his kind. Awaiting the painful atonement that will buy him ten more years to find his eternal mate—or face oblivion. But Hades himself kicks him out with the bloodlust still prowling, unsatisfied, in his veins. And he meets a slave woman who captivates him like no other.
Bargained away by her parents to Master O, a mysterious, cruel wizard, Faiza serves in his household, keeping her small magic a secret, plagued by wild, confusing visions of a strange, suffering man. Then the master brings home a wounded Titanian warrior whose touch sends ice, fire, and desire racing through her body.
When she learns Master O plans to use Hagen as a weapon to conquer all races, she devises a desperate plan to free him—a plan that opens a portal to a world she’s never known. And a destiny entwined with danger that could destroy them all.

But first …. here’s my little ditty to get you into the Christmas spirit. And the word that you need for this scavenger hunt is under the story.
P.S. It’s a little bit graphical.
Home Comforts
Christmas was fast approaching, something that Sarah Jane was not looking forward to at all. It was to be her first Christmas away from her family and wonderful England.
Sarah Jane had lived in Greece for the past eight months with her boyfriend Kostas, whom she had met while holidaying in Kavos, Corfu. During their time together, Sarah Jane’s months were filled with new adventures and experiences, so she didn’t have much spare time to think about her family or England. Only now, December had arrived, and Christmas suddenly seemed daunting.
The closer the holidays came, the more Sarah Jane thought about her home and all the things she took for granted and now missed. Greece had their own traditions, but unfortunately, they didn’t include roast turkey and Christmas pudding. What it did include was a Christmas dinner of egg and lemon soup with boiled chicken – yummy.
Within no time, Christmas Eve arrived, and Sarah Jane was feeling very unhappy. She was upset with herself for not choosing to go home for Christmas and upset with Kostas for not making an effort.
“You’ll have to get used to it if you’re going to stay here.” He had told her.
The thing was, Kostas had been to England. He had experienced a typical English Christmas, so surely he understood how she was feeling and how homesick she was? But then, she couldn’t lay all the blame on him. It seemed that even her own family back home had forgotten her. No presents, not one card. It was as if Christmas didn’t exist, and she wished the holidays would just come and go.
Already, she had made up her mind that it was going to be her worst Christmas ever.
Sarah Jane felt needed cheering up; it seemed even Kostas was avoiding her because of her moods. So that miserable Christmas Eve, she decided to visit her friend. Mary lived locally and was married with far too many children. She had survived many dreary Christmas. Sarah Jane hoped she would get some tips on how to endure the holidays and even a little support. However, all Mary could say was:
“You’ll get used to it. You wait until Easter; it’s fabulous; parades, big celebrations, you’ll love it.”
But Sarah Jane didn’t want to wait until Easter. With a heavy heart, she left Mary’s and started to make her way back home.
She knew she needed to make an effort even if her heart said otherwise, and she didn’t want to spoil the holidays for Kostas and his family.
She settled for a couple of drinks and a cuddle on the sofa with Kostas. However, as she neared the house, she felt a change. Home suddenly felt warm and inviting.
Sarah Jane stood speechless at the open door. Frank Sinatra’s familiar Christmas tune poured out into the street.
Her living room was covered in Christmas decorations. Tinsel and streamers showered every wall, and to her right, she saw the best-looking Christmas tree ever. It was adorned with beautiful garlands and twinkling lights, and her lungs filled with the scent of fresh pine. Underneath the tree were the missing presents and cards. Sitting on a seasonal-dressed table were mince pies, a bowl of mixed nuts, and a bottle of Moet chilling on ice.
Sarah Jane felt so happy; she thought she’d burst. Instead, tears flowed down her cheek.
Kostas had spent most of the day finding a suitable tree to chop down. The live turkey that had been hidden away was now sitting proudly on a plate prepared and ready for cooking.
The postman had delivered the presents a week before. He hid them in the attic, knowing Sarah Jane would never go up there.
“Kostas, I – oh my God, how did you? … I didn’t know – thank you. Oh, thank you so much.”
She ran to where he was standing, which happened to be under a bough of mistletoe.
“Merry Christmas, my darling,” he said.
And as it happened, it was the merriest she’d ever had.
From awarding winning author Karen J Mossman, comes a heart-warming Christmas tale.
Tina tells the story of what happened one Christmas time.
Who knew life could change so drastically from one heartbeat to the next. One second, you’re full of wonderous joy, the next …
The holidays are a festive time. For Tina and her family, Christmas is the most magical of all. The tastes, smells, laughter – even the complaints are a part of the traditions and vital to the memories. But one Christmas, tragedy struck and changed everything…
Will Tina be able to rediscover the magic, or has her joy been lost forever?
One Christmas has been rewritten and published by Norns Triad Publications with a beautiful new cover. Available as an eBook and paperback.
At 54 pages long it’s a perfect story to sit beside the Christmas tree with and read over a weekend.
A rollercoaster of emotion, Tina’s tale will melt your heart and take you on a journey as she learns to live and love again.
Karen believes in the happy ever after and wants you to close the last page with a warm glow in your heart.
If you preorder, the eBook will land on your kindle on the 5th of December. Alternatively, order a paperback on publication day. It will make a beautiful gift for your friends and family.
So, there we were – Elis and I – sitting together. Elis chatted about his job as a pilot trainer at RAF Valley. I enjoyed the stories he told of the new candidates who took to the skies for the first time. As he spoke, we held hands across the table. The way his fingers felt gave me a connection that excluded everyone else as I listened.
“You’re exquisite when you look at me like that,” he said, interrupting his story.
I continued to stare into his eyes, losing myself in their depths. “That’s because I’m listening to every word. You don’t know how sexy your voice sounds.”
Elis grinned, and my heart fluttered. His eyes flicked right.
I glanced to see what caught his attention. There was a woman walking through the room, watching us.
Dawn!
I spun around and gave her a death glare.
My sister froze, throwing me a sheepish grin. ‘Going to the toilet,’ she mouthed and pointed in that direction.
Leaning back in the chair, I let out a loud sigh. “Elis, meet my sister, Dawn.”
Karen J Mossman based the book on the area she lives. Anglesey is an island off the north Wales coast.
So, I took part in this last year, and it was manic. Now I have more work, more clients, and more books to write, and I’m still challenging myself to record, edit and post a podcast every day through the month of November. I don’t just go online and talk for ten minutes, and that’s my podcast. No, these are full 30-minute interviews with my guests on Behind The Pen.
Got to day 16, and all is smooth sailing (so far)

When ordinary life transforms into a fight for survival, can a young woman keep the chaos from pulling her under?
Go-getting twenty-six-year-old investigative journalist Cassandra Drews just wants her miserable day to end.

In the blink of an eye, an EMP attack wipes out the nation’s power and the world grinds to a stop. Surrounded by chaos, Cass is torn between tending to the injured or escaping her seething ex. It doesn’t take long before panic and violence erupt on the streets of Portland. Out of options, Cass has no choice but to race home, hoping to outrun a looming ice storm. Can she make it to safety before experiencing the wrath of the bitter winter storm? Or will she find herself the victim of far more than the elements in a town thrust into bedlam? From Sam J Fires comes the brand-new End of Days series, a post-apocalyptic EMP survival thriller featuring flawed, complex characters and adrenaline-fueled action adventure. Perfect for fans of Ryan Schow, Grace Hamilton, Kyla Stone, and Jack Hunt.
