All Hallow’s Eve:

Click here for the Book Trailer 

Click here for Sample chapters

Since ancient times, every Halloween, the ritual of Sanun is performed, freeing the dead to interact with the living for one night. One Evil Soul discovers a way to hide from the Return, remaining on Earth to meddle with the fates of the living. As the centuries pass, It begins to search for the High Priestess, intending to force her to do its bidding, no matter the cost.

Appearances can be deceiving, even in Regency England. To most, Elizabeth Bennet is simply the second daughter of an insignificant country squire, but in truth, she is High Priestess and leader of an ancient cult secretly co-existing alongside British society. Confusion reigns when she learns that the man she despises, Fitzwilliam Darcy, is her Soul Mate, assigned to protect her from Evil. Can they work together to preserve the future?

Dreams & Expectations:

While staying true to the characters of Jane Austen’s much loved tale, this novel takes Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy on a much different journey than Austen did in Pride and Prejudice.

Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet quickly recognize their feelings for each other and form a friendship, but misunderstandings and a bit of mystery and adventure hinder their path to happiness.

Promises:

Adapting characters from Jane Austen’s much loved tale, this novel takes Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy on a much different journey than Austen did in Pride and Prejudice.

Through their fathers’ friendship, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy meet as children. Over the years, their feelings for each other grow and they promise themselves to each other, but unfortunate circumstances and interfering family members seek to keep them apart.

Will misunderstandings and mistaken impressions divide Elizabeth and William forever?

Due out soon – end of 2013:

The Gypsy Blessing:

Click here for Sample Chapters

While taking a solitary ramble on her father’s estate, Elizabeth Bennet finds an injured woman, cares for her, and helps her return to her gypsy camp. For her exceptional kindness, Elizabeth is awarded a blessing, bestowed through gypsy magic. Forgetting the incident, Elizabeth thinks it merely odd when she begins to receive drawings in the mail with no return address—until she recognizes these same scenes as they become true events in her life. Through the blessing, circumstances bring Elizabeth and Jane Bennet to Ramsgate, where they meet Georgiana and Fitzwilliam Darcy, along with a charming young man named George Wickham. Will Elizabeth’s efforts to reshape future events also alter her destiny?

Do NOT miss Breaking Ties

by Jo Grafford!

Through Jo Grafford’s rich, descriptive prose, we are transported to the late 16th century and travel along with Rose Payne as she sails away from England in order to escape her past. Rose has signed on as ship’s clerk with a group of colonists, bound for the New World to establish the City of Raleigh. Through Rose’s eyes, we become acquainted with a number of well-developed characters, including Manteo, a handsome and mysterious Native American, and experience intrigue, romance, betrayal, and much more.

After reading BREAKING TIES, I am convinced Jo Grafford is of the best authors of our time. I’m anxiously awaiting the continuation of The Lost Colony Series and will be sure not to miss any other stories she pens.

From Jo Grafford’s website:

A cursed island, a chilling conspiracy, and an unforgettable love story. The 115 colonists on Roanoke Island couldn’t GPS, skype or twitter their ultimate destination back to their families and friends in 16th Century England. But modern laser technology has finally uncovered a clue – hidden beneath a patch on an ancient map at the British museum – that leads us to their whereabouts. Considered “lost” for centuries, these brave pioneers finally reveal the rest of their story in…THE LOST COLONY SERIES.

Rose Payne’s world is left in tatters after a disastrous betrothal, making her an easy target for recruiters to the Colonies. Using every cent she has, Rose sails for the New World and a fresh start, vowing to never again fall for a wealthy man.

Returning from a diplomatic tour in London, Chief Manteo is bewitched by the fiery-haired ship’s clerk and determined to overcome her distrust. He contrives a daring plan to win her heart – one that forces her, honor bound, to serve as a slave to his tribe – a plan he prays will protect her from a chilling conspiracy involving murder, blood money, and a betrayal of their fledgling colony so terrifying it can only be revealed in Breaking Ties. 

Book One – BREAKING TIES (Rose, the ship’s clerk) Available now!

Book Two – TRAIL OF CROSSES (Jane, the huntress) Coming soon!

Book Three – INTO THE MAIN (Agnes, the apothocary) Coming soon!

We’re giving away copies of All Hallow’s Eve on Janet Taylor’s lovely blog,

Thanks 🙂

The perfect balance of suspense mixed with romance, just the right amount of fast-paced action, a heroine that most women can identify with, a gorgeous, believable hero, beautiful landscapes – and to have it all superbly written in a way that makes the reader feel like she’s right there. What more can a girl want? More, that’s what! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next from Alexa Bourne!

Originally reviewed: April 27, 2012

Blurb: Heather Winchester leads a charming life. With good friends, a beautiful flat in one of the most amazing cities in the world, and a promising future once she finishes her Ph.D, she is finally pursuing her own dreams instead of catering to everyone else’s…except she doesn’t remember any of it.

Malcolm Fraser has returned to his Highland village to forget his failings as a professional bodyguard. Believing he could just lose himself in the mundane activities of running his bed & breakfast, he finds a woman’s lifeless body by the loch instead….

Captivated by Heather as she regains her memory, Malcolm is thrown into the line of duty. As danger comes knocking on their doors, will he be strong enough to love her and keep her safe?
