An Exclusive Excerpt from Through My Own Lens by Mickie B. Ashling (@MickieAshling)
Thank you for hosting my blog tour and giving me an opportunity to talk about my latest release. Through My Own Lens is the fifth book in the Horizons Series, but catching up isn’t necessary. This new story can be enjoyed as a standalone.
As the blurb mentions, my main characters, Luca Dilorio and Chyna Davidson, have just graduated high school and are headed east to start a new chapter in their lives. Being away from home for the first time can be exhilarating, but it also presents challenges neither one anticipates.
To celebrate the release of Through My Own Lens I bring two gifts to make your holiday season a little brighter. One lucky winner will receive a $25.00 NineStar Press Gift Certificate and the other will get to choose one e-book (excluding Through My Own Lens) from the NineStar Press catalog. Before I go, I’d like to thank Lori at IndiGo Marketing for her excellent work in organizing this book tour.

Six of My Favorite Horror-inspiring Things! by Kris Ripper
My six favorite horror-inspiring things, whether or not they’re technically “horror.”
First, a note: Horror is a genre, but what horrifies us is also very personal. Since I like being scared, I seek that feeling in everything. If you like being scared, I encourage you to do the same!

An Interview with Thea Landen (@TheaLanden)
How did you start writing erotica?
As a teenager, I’d written some non-erotic fanfic, and that was probably my first foray into writing in general. In college, I wrote a couple erotic original stories and posted them on a website, but then life happened (as it tends to do!), and I abandoned writing for a number of years.
Eventually, I waded back into the writing waters with my old love, fanfic. Then before leaving for my honeymoon, I loaded up my Kindle with a ton of books to read on the beach. One erotic novella I read had me saying “THIS got published?! I can write just as well, if not better!” When we got home, I got right to work and set out to get some erotica published. Luckily, within a few months, I found success!
