✿We would like to offer a warm welcome to Author D.L Dunaway for stopping by our page for a Q&A session this morning!!! ✿

✿D.LDunaway:Goodmorningeveryone!! ✿Leave No Book Behind: What was your favorite part when writing Bound By Blood And Brimstone? ✿D.L Dunaway: The scene with cousin Melvin. Melvin was unfortunate enough to get under Ember Mae's skin, and the ensuing vengeance was fun to write! ✿Leave No Book Behind: What inspired you to write a novel that deals with the consequences of bullying?✿D.L Dunaway: Even under the best of circumstances, childhood is tough. Any child who is "different" in any way is subject to contact with someone who notices that difference. Children can be the cruelest of creatures with their own. I wanted to play with this scenario to see how far it could go. ✿Leave No Book Behind: If I wasn't afraid, I would __________. (What) ✿D.L Dunaway: Devote myself to a career of writing full-time. ✿Leave No Book Behind: What is the best thing you have done in your life?✿D.L Dunaway: The best thing I've ever done was having my daughter. I had her late in life at a time when most "normal" people are already grandparents. She was my miracle and has changed my life for the better in too many ways to count. ✿Leave No Book Behind: List 3 adjectives to describe yourself. ✿D.L Dunaway: Sensitive, Compassionate, Introverted. ✿ Leave No Book Behind: If you were to create a slogan for your life, what would it be? ✿D.L Dunaway: You never know what you can accomplish until you try. ✿Leave No Book Behind: Who are your favorite authors and how have they inspired your writing? ✿D.L Dunaway: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Silas House. The first two are the darker side of the third. The combination of eerie suspense and House's sense of place stirs my imagination. ✿Leave No Book Behind: If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only have one item with you, what would it be? ✿D.L Dunaway: I would most certainly die quickly of dehydration because my one item would be a book! ✿Leave No Book Behind: Why did you decide to use West Virginia as the setting for your story?✿D.L Dunaway: The geography and culture in the West Virginia mountains is a carbon copy of my Eastern Kentucky home. It's a unique culture I'm proud of, rich in history, music, violence, and scandal.✿Leave No Book Behind: How did you come up with the names for the sisters? ✿ D.L Dunaway: With Ember Mae, I liked the idea of the potential of a smoldering ember. From dormancy, if fed the right ingredients, it can ignite into a flame of great intensity. With Lorrie Beth, I simply liked the sound of the name. ✿ Leave No Book Behind: Would you ever like to see any of your books ( present/future) turned into a movie and if so who would play the characters? ✿D.L Dunaway: Oh I would LOVE to see this made into a movie! I can't begin to say who could play the characters because their images are so firmly ingrained in my mind. Hopefully, they would be talented and physically similar. I hate when movies based on books cast actors who look nothing like the described characters. ✿Leave No Book Behind: Were any of the scenes in the book written from your personal life experiences? ✿D.L Dunaway: No, but one in particular was heavily influenced by an encounter my mother had

as a young girl. She was a spitfire (and still is). A boy at school had tormented her without mercy. The end result was a confrontation in which the boy was seriously injured by my mom's dead-eye shot with a perfectly aimed rock. She started school the following Monday at a new location! A scene from my book is similar but winds up quite differently. ✿Leave No Book Behind: Someday I want to __________. (What) ✿D.L Dunaway: Someday I want to write the kind of books that create long lines at the bookstores. Nothing thrills me more than to learn someone has read my work and truly enjoyed it! ✿Leave No Book Behind: Can you tell me about your next project? ✿ D.L Dunaway: It's psychological thriller involving a woman who winds up fighting for her sanity. ✿Leave No Book Behind: Well, thank you for stopping by and spending some time with us. It was a pleasure, and feel free to stop by anytime!! ✿D. L Dunaway: Your very welcome, and the pleasure was all mine!

Bound By Blood And Brimstone Author Interview And GiveAway

Coming of age is never easy, but for Ember Mae Roberts and her twin sister, Lorrie Beth, it may boil down to a matter of life or death. Growing up in the mountains of West Virginia in the 1950's presents unique challenges for any child, but for talented young Ember Mae, it means bearing the burdens of an adult, as she quickly learns her expected role is that of her sister's keeper. When a schoolyard bully sets his brutal sights on a fragile Lorrie Beth, Ember Mae jumps to her defense. Terror abounds at every turn as the tormenting escalates. What begins as a normal rite of passage for children since the beginning of time ends in a final tragic confrontation that leaves Lorrie Beth shattered. Both sisters make a pact to keep a deadly secret in order to heal, but Lorrie Beth has always been weak. Ember Mae fears she'll crack under the strain and bring their world crashing down around them. What Ember Mae doesn't realize is that she and Lorrie Beth aren't the only ones keeping a secret. There are other secrets waiting to spill out, secrets so vile that when the full force of their evil is unleashed, it's anybody's guess who will survive.

Levi's Ultimatum Purgatory Masters 2 Review

Levi Hawkins was a typical fun loving, hard partying college student with his whole life in front of him -- until one tragic night ripped his world apart and left him adrift with no home or family to return to. After a soul crushing stint in Afghanistan, he spent a decade wandering the globe searching for something or someone to make him whole again. Weary of regret and consumed by loneliness, he puts his heart on the line and turns to the only people still connected to him by blood.
He found an obsession...
A chance encounter at a lakeside cafe puts single mother Tori Ford directly in Levi's path and he's ready to stake a claim. She wants to keep her life simple. Work hard, raise her daughter, save some money and one day open the pie shop she's always dreamed of. She doesn't need complicated and she certainly doesn't need a wickedly hot Dominant to take control of her future. Except when he touches her she yearns for the pleasure and passion of submission. But Tori can't take another heartbreak and she can never trust Levi with her heart or her daughter if he won't open up about the darkness slowly consuming him. http://www.amazon.com/Levis-Ultimatum-Purgatory-Masters-ebook/dp/B00CLWUOA6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376498291&sr=8-1&keywords=levis+ultimatum Review-I can't describe how much I loved this story,I just couldn't put it down! Absolutely kept the plot going from book one and made me fall even more in love with the characters (If that's possible), I'm ready for this genius/amazing Author to give us the next installment! Levi's Ultimatum is a Hot, heart-pounding , edge of your seat Must Read!!I'm definitely recommending to all my friends.

Legacy Of A Dreamer By Allie Jean

http://www.amazon.com/Legacy-Dreamer-Series-ebook/dp/B007ZXKDOS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Chantal Breelan has spent most of her childhood as a ward of the state. She has a mysterious past and the foster system provided her with no answers. At the age of fifteen, she begins to have horrifying dreams: images of violence and death that haunt her during her waking hours. Anxious and afraid, and with no one else to confide in, she finds comfort in her imaginary friend, a shadow in the shape of a man who stands sentinel over her. She tells him of her dreams and her fear of an unknown future.
On her eighteenth birthday, she’s forced out of her foster home, but the stress and demands drive her to the edge, making her see things. A boy from her nightmares appears in a subway station, sending her life in twists of truth and lies, and darkness surrounds her from all sides. But is it only evil that hides in the shadows, or are the answers to her past lingering just beyond?*********************************************************************(REVIEW)This book blew me away. I have read a lot of books and I mean a lot (LOL).Quite a few on the subject of angels but I have to say this book was right on the money in my opinion. The author definitely did her homework concerning the religious aspect of angels, but presented it in a way that was informative yet exciting,I learned quite a bit during the course of this book. There were some very scary moments in this book( Chantal's dreams)The author was very descriptive at these points and it made these dream sequences so real.I was literally jumping out of my skin at times.I loved Chantal's character the most,she goes through a lot and still manages to be loyal to a fault. This type of character is what more books today need. The message I received from this book was that real evil does exist and the reality of it is frightening most days,Chantal was dealt a crappy life and she chose to still make the best of her situation. Chantal was a tough cookie for sure, and wanted to fight her own battles.I love a strong willed female heroine in my books and she was as awesome as they come. Mathias won my heart right away,he wanted nothing more than to protect Chantal, he wasn't one to broadcast his feelings, but you got the feeling that he loved her none the less.This author has a way with words,She gives you just the right amount of insight into the story and it compels the reader to want to know more and try to figure out the puzzle of the plot. Great writing and a must read for anyone's TBR shelf,If your into lots action, horror, deception and a fight for your life type of read then this is the book for you!! I can't wait for the next book......
