Unintentional Virgin FB Party

Warning: Synopsis readers won’t be able to help, but join this fun party. (FB is not affiliated with this promotion or party.)

Karma Points is cursed. Cursed with a stupid name and the inability to lose her virginity. She’s on a mission to lose her virginity before she turns twenty if it’s the last thing she does.

One night, her good friend Eva brings her to an underground club where Karma meets a tattooed bouncer. He’s far from the clean-cut type she normally falls for, which makes her think this finally might be the night she crosses the threshold of womanhood.

Excited, she goes home with the bouncer named Jax and as always, her dreams crash down once again. Jax cannot believe she is willing to give away her virginity to a stranger she met at a club. As the only son with five sisters and a widowed mom, he can’t morally go through with it, even though he’s never been more tempted in his life.

Unwilling to let her walk away, he strikes a deal. Karma has to spend three weeks dating him and then decide if she wants to have sex or walk away.

Cover Reveal: “Dark Side of Love” by Danielle Joy Linhart

Cover design by Eden Crane Designs

“Bravo on a well told story of survival.”
Lisa Markson, The Paranormal Bookworm

Author Danielle Joy Linhart reveals a story of a young girl caught up in an abusive relationship, but strong enough to break the cycle.

On the surface, they were the perfect couple: popular, happy, completely in love. Gina’s senior year was supposed to be carefree and fun with the perfect boy at her side. Except Mark wasn’t perfect. At first, his dark streak emerged rarely – when she forgot to call or didn’t do what he asked her. He always apologized for hurting her, and she convinced herself that was enough. As the year progressed, he became more controlling, more violent, until Gina realized she had to make a choice: live in the shadow of Mark’s abuse and pretend everything was okay or save herself, even if it meant losing him. Freedom or fear? It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Danielle Joy Linhart resides in Florida with her husband and two children. As a child her inspiration to become a writer began while reading books by Beverly Cleary and in fact, pushed her to major in creative writing in college. When not writing, Danielle dreams up creative ways to display the beautiful covers of her fellow authors through her swag shop known as Danielle’s Dazzling Designs.

Five Facts Friday with Trudy Stiles

by Leave a Comment

This Five Facts Friday post will feature new author Trudy Stiles, whose upcoming book is “Dear Emily,” expected to drop in the fall or winter of this year. “Dear Emily” will be the first book in the “Forever Family” series.  

CURE FOR WRITERS BLOCK:  Going for a run to clear my mind and music. “I always plug into iTunes while I write; certain songs make my characters come to life.”

FAVORITE TIME TO WRITE: After 10 p.m. “My evenings are hectic with dinner and family. We like to watch TV together before the kids go to bed and by the time I wind down, it’s usually late. I typically cannot write during the day because there are too many distractions.”

GUILTY PLEASURE: “Big Brother” (TV Show).  “I’ve been watching this show since the beginning and I have a love to hate relationship with it and the house guests! I’m addicted!”

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE, IT WOULD BE: Coastal Oregon. Why? “Have you been there? God it’s just gorgeous; both stunning and peaceful.”

FAVORITE SUPER POWER: Speed. “I wish I could zip around my house and tidy it up in under a minute. Folding my mountains of laundry would take only second!”

You can follow Trudy on Facebook.
