#GoddessFishPromotions presents Texting All Hearts #VirtualTour




Texting All Hearts—Boxed Set
Seven Multi-Published Authors

What do rodeos, otherworldly encounters, exotic dancers, bondage, hot sex, refound love, and time travel have in common? Besides romantic, edge of your seat fun and intrigue, they all evolve from a single text. Seven multi-genre novellas that promise to heat your nights and warm your hearts.


Her Cowboy Dom
Bliss

Tate Hardy’s best friend leaves him all his cattle if he spends thirty days on a ranch with a woman he wants but can't have. Jess is a nice girl, and Tate doesn't do nice. Jessica Campbell needs her brother’s cattle as collateral for a loan. To get rid of the sexy bull rider, she suggests he teach her about D/s. When he agrees, Jess gets more than she bargained for from her cowboy Dom.

Midnight Road
Lorelei Buckley

Drew Mathews cherishes her deceased husband’s lingering spirit. When his best friend, Dominic, reveals her late spouse’s dark secrets, Drew's crushed. She turns to Dominic and neighbors for support and stumbles into a passionate love affair and a slew of bizarre commonalities restricted to the residents of Midnight Road. As mysteries unfold, inalterable conditions threaten her romantic relationship, her life, and possibly, the world.

A Lethal Affair
Debra Jupe

With a rumored serial killer targeting exotic dancers, Daisy Piper is more than a little worried when her co-worker goes missing. Her concern escalates when a guy she’s never met shows up claiming her friend stole his laptop. A mild-mannered computer whiz on the surface, Miles Garton is a total contrast from the streetwise Daisy. But he’s on a mission of his own, making the jaded stripper suspicious. Fighting each other, a mutual attraction, and the truth, they team up to find the missing woman.

Sexting Texas
Darah Lace

Texas Tallulah Taylor never thought she’d be turned on by a dirty text from a stranger, one that leads to a delicious sexting session with her best friend. Will Sanderson never thought the love of his life would see him as anything but a friend. Maybe sexting Texas will show her this cowboy aims to give her the ride of her life…for the rest of her life.

The Dom Delivers
Nese Lane

He’s a Dominant, and she’s as vanilla as they come…
Designer Jenna Jaynes enjoys the safe bubble of her creative world, until her delivery guy bursts through and steals her heart. CFO Aden Kelley’s regimented world is thrown into chaos when a spitfire dressmaker captures his soul. Will the Dom convince vanilla to swirl?

Wounded Hearts
Linda LaRoque

Sarah Lawson's fiancé Logan Miller died in Afghanistan. She receives a text from Brandon Perdue, one of his war buddies, who wants to meet and deliver a message from Logan. Physically and emotionally scarred, Brandon values Sarah's friendship. Sarah wants their relationship to deepen, but he fears she's projecting her feelings for Logan on to him.

Pale With Color
Susan JP Owens


Cheyenne Clark doubts Captain Joseph Westerly’s beliefs about reincarnation, but a twenty-first century gal stuck in1862, during the Battle of Gettysburg, creates a new perception about philosophies and physics. After Joseph’s death, Cheyenne returns to her time period and anticipates his rebirth. Will Joseph find her?





An excerpt from Wounded Hearts


Brandon lay in bed reliving the gentle touch of Sarah's lips against his. The kiss was such a surprise, and over before he realized her intentions. Could someone like her really care for him? His heart pounded in his rib cage, and hurt and longing clogged his throat. Tears pricked his eyes, and he closed them.

He slept in the nude, so it wasn't hard for him to take inventory of the scars on his body with his hands. He didn't need to see them. He knew them by heart, but allowed his palm to roam over them for the millionth time. His torso was puckered and lumpy from the burns. They traveled down his torso to just below his navel. Fortunately the flames hadn't reached his genitals, and he was able to function sexually. Not that he'd had an opportunity for a test run, but seeing Sarah, being close to her, breathing in her special scent had made his trousers uncomfortable on more than one occasion.

The burns covered his shoulders, arms, and parts of his back. And then there was his face. It had not been spared. His helmet had protected most of his head and somehow his eyes hadn't been damaged. Considering how bad the damage could have been, he was a lucky son-of-a-gun. But he wasn't what Sarah needed. She deserved a man without scars, physical or emotional. She was projecting her feelings for Logan onto him. That wouldn't do, for either of them. What if they married and she decided later she couldn't live with his scars? He shuddered. No, he'd never take that chance.

AN INTERVIEW WITH LAUREN CLARK








Lauren Clark writes contemporary Southern novels sprinkled with sunshine, suspense, and secrets. A former TV news anchor, Lauren adores flavored coffee, local book stores, and anywhere she can stick her toes in the sand. Her big loves are her family, paying it forward, and true-blue friends.







How would you describe yourself if you were “speed dating” your readers?

In thirty seconds, I would describe myself as happy, upbeat, positive, fun-loving, reliable, passionate, loving, kid-focused person who loves flavored coffee, world travel, great books, and good friends.

What is your favorite thing about being a writer?

My favorite thing is meeting and hearing from readers. There’s nothing better than that!  I love visiting book clubs, doing book signings, and talking to author groups.

What do you hope readers take with them after reading one of your stories?

I’d love for my readers to take away that one can truly make lemonade from the lemons you are handed in life. That sometimes, unexpected turns in one’s path are the greatest blessing. And of course, it is my belief that women are stronger and more resilient than they think they are.

In Pie Girls, Searcy began the story as a bit of a spoiled princess, able to live a life of luxury, but when her husband drops the bomb that he’s leaving, she’s left with nothing. That rock-bottom place from which she re-starts her life really gives her strong moral fiber, compassion, and an ability to see the good in the simple things in life.

What other careers have you had?

Oh, my gosh!  I’ve been a television news anchor, a television news reporter and producer, I have been a public relations director, a full-time mom, and a senior sales representative for a pharmaceutical company. At present, I work as a web content manager and social media manager for Spring Hill College. When I was growing up, I was a babysitting, worked in a grocery store, an amusement park, and an ice cream factory (taking orders). Lots of free ice cream!

Why do you think people should choose your books over another author?

If you, as a reader, enjoy a story with a big challenge for the main character, some fun and humor, quirky characters, an unexpected twist or two, a charming and handsome hero, substantial character growth, a happy ending, and a Southern setting, than my books are for you!

How long have you been a writer? 

I’ve always thought about writing, but didn’t get serious about it until after my second son was born. I published Stay Tuned 2011, Dancing Naked in Dixie in 2012, Stardust Summer in 2013, and Pie Girls in 2014.

What’s something fans would find fascinating about you?

I’ve been offered a two-book deal through Harper Collins/Thomas Nelson and will release a suspense novel called Center of Gravity in July 2015. Here’s the summary:

On the verge of thinking she’s found happily ever after, a young woman discovers her new husband has a violent dark side and a deeply twisted past. When he disappears with her two young children, she must face her deepest fears to rescue them, even if it means losing her own life.

What books or authors have most influenced your life?

As a child, I loved the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, and it’s fun because my 9-year-old son just read On the Banks of Plum Creek for school. My boys are big readers, so we’ve blown through the Percy Jackson series, Divergent, and Hunger Games, as well. Loved them. As an adult, I’d have to say that Jodi Picoult, Emily Giffin, Sophie Kinsella, and Jennifer Weiner have all had some influence on my life and writing.

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Upstate New York (near Niagara Falls), moved to Pennsylvania for college, and Ohio for graduate school. I went back to New York when I started my television news career, then moved to a station in Alabama in 2000. I’ve lived in Mobile, Ala. since 2007.

When not writing, how do you relax?

I love to read (of course); I enjoy going to the beach, my parents’ lake house, or spending a weekend in New Orleans or Atlanta (both close enough to drive to in a day). If I have an extra thirty minutes, I’ll meet a friend for coffee, go for a run, or play a board or card game with my boys. We love Uno, Trivial Pursuit, or Sequence.

Please tell us 5 miscellaneous facts about yourself.

My favorite time of day is early morning, when the sun is rising and the world is still quiet.
I’d rather spend time with my two boys than do anything else.
I’m an avid coffee drinker, and am excited it’ll soon be Pumpkin Spice season!
I get lost easily, especially in a new city.
I will always choose caramel over chocolate.

Please share any links you would like listed in the Interview. Website, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Princess, Southern belle, and spoiled-rotten social climber Searcy Roberts swore on a stack of Bibles she’d never return home to Fairhope, Alabama. After marrying her high school sweetheart and moving to Atlanta, Searcy embraces big-city life—Carrie Bradshaw style.

But now, Searcy has a teeny, tiny problem. Her husband’s had a mid-life crisis. He’s quit his job, cancelled her credit cards, and left her for another man.

Searcy returns to Fairhope, ready to lick her wounds. But when her mother falls ill, she’s is thrust into managing the family business—only to discover the beloved bakery is in danger of closing its doors forever.

Enlisting the help of the adorable bike store owner next door, an array of well-heeled customers, and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Searcy hatches the plan of the century to save Pie Girls.


Enjoy an Excerpt from PIE GIRLS

"C.C.," I exclaim, standing on tiptoes for an air kiss. "What a lovely surprise."
           
She clears her throat, and I step back. "You haven't greeted my Precious," C.C. warns in a lilting voice, tilting her head toward the pink sequined bag hanging over her left forearm.
           
Precious? Like as in the Lord of the Rings? Surely she doesn't mean...
           
A tiny black nose and beady eyes poke out of the bag.
           
"Eek!" I jump back and squeal, clapping a hand to my chest and dropping the keys.
           
The dog—if you can call it that—begins yipping and complaining like I've just whipped it with a cat o' nine tails.
           
I freeze in place, flush a lovely shade of violet, and want to self-destruct; certain that I've committed what equates to a mortal sin in the world according to C.C. Anderson. She's carrying her new puppy, a tiny Min-Pin; complete with pink collar and matching pink toenails.
           
"I'm so sorry—"
           
C.C. waves her own pink manicured fingernails an inch from my face.
           
"Mama's poor little baby," she coos in a high-pitched falsetto. "Are you okay, my sweetie-weetie, lovey girl?"
           
My jaw drops open slightly. I've never heard the woman utter a word of endearment toward any human being or living creature.

When I first dated Alton, I was almost certain that C.C., in fact, was among the un-dead. Five years ago, when she and Alton’s father decided to move to Atlanta—under the auspices of closer to their only son—I almost had him talked into buying some dove's blood from Marie Laveau's shop in New Orleans just to see if she'd drink it.
           
"Mama's Precious will be all right, won't she?" C.C. continues. "Searcy's just a bad girl. She'll do better, I promise, darling."
