Book Description:
In an alternate history New York City—one
hundred and fifty years after an earthquake from hell nearly destroyed the
planet—the twenty-first century clings to an industrial age. Steam engines
rule, and demon-powered technology is the up and coming thing. Henry Paine, a
half-demon taxi driver, is the go-to guy for just the right demon to possess
your machine and automate any mechanical gizmo with or without an engine. The
creatures are tame as pets. Or at least they have been… until now.
Wanda Snow is an
exorcist who grudgingly admits to having a few drops of demon blood herself.
She's come to New York to rid the city of demonic vermin as well as any other
demons that get in her way. Wanda and Henry are naturally at odds, but the two
are forced to become partners in a mutual goal to round up the rogue demons
biting the Big Apple and take down the sinister tyrant who started it all.

Blog Tour Excerpt & Giveaway - Tale of Treasures by H.F. Parkhurst
Tales
of Treasure
By HF Parkhurst
Book Description:
A
four hundred year quest for a mysterious lost treasure; bloodthirsty Pirates;
plundering Conquistadors; noble Indians; and a sinister and secret religious
Order are the tantalizing ingredients stirred together in the turbulent,
steamy, and exotic Spanish Main, of yesterday and today.
To
the rhythmic background of classic R&B soul music, Harry Carlton and his
new love Helen are unexpectedly thrust into a violent encounter with ruthless
and malevolent forces and a rogue’s gallery of dastardly villains. These two,
near their fifties, are not kindly white-haired grandparents ready to sit
sedately in rocking chairs. Instead, they confront danger with bravery, and
battle dishonesty and injustice with valor. They discover a priceless, lost
artifact treasure of the ancient Indians of South and Central America. In the
struggle to return the treasure to its rightful owners, they must outwit the
assortment of murderous villains, and stay alive.

Book Description:
Selah
Kilbrid may descend from the goddess Brigid, but her heart beats—and breaks—the
same as any human. Yet enduring the scorn of London's most noble lords and
ladies is a small price to pay for a chance at true happiness. Selah would
endure much more for love, and her betrothed, Lord Henry Fitzalan, is prepared
to challenge anyone foolish enough to stand in their way—even another goddess
born.
But
when a captivating young gentleman draws Selah into a world shadowed by
secrets, she is forced to confront her darkest fears. What if some differences
are too great to overcome and a future with Henry is doomed from the start?
With
these doubts threatening her impending marriage, a violent attack on an
innocent child pushes Selah to the very edge of her power. She must find a way
to cross into the Otherworld and regain her strength—or forfeit the streets of
London to death and disease.

Most people
believe Eden no longer exists. Lexi Merrill’s about to learn they’re wrong. A
hard-working bartender with a self-sufficient backbone and a wary nature, she
knows pickup lines like a second language. So, when Eryx Shantos barges into
her world with too-smooth words and a body to back it up, she locks up her
libido and vows to keep her distance.
Eryx has other
ideas. As king of the Myren race, Eryx is duty-bound to enforce the laws
preventing exposure of their existence to humans. Yet The Fates have led him
through his dreams to Lexi, a temptation he doesn’t want to resist. The
question—is she Myren, or human - which makes her forbidden fruit?
When Eryx’s
nemesis tags Lexi as his next target, Eryx insists on taking her home where he
can keep her safe. Lexi had no idea “home” would mean the one-and-only land of
creation…or that she’d trigger a prophecy that could doom her newfound race.
