COVER REVEAL & GIVEAWAY - THE OLD STAR by ELODIE PARKES
Hi Hunter,
Thank you for inviting me to your fabulous blog to celebrate the release of my erotic romance, The Old Star with a cover reveal.
The love story has paranormal threads, a little mystery and magic, it’s erotic and I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I loved writing it.
The idea came to me when I was working. Sometimes in my job I have to travel to places where an antique has been offered for sale to the place I work. I had to go look at a chaise longue that was in a semi derelict house. The place was going to be demolished and so I was to buy the item, get it loaded in the truck and bring it back to the store. The guy selling it was just lovely. He and another hunk loaded the chaise longue into the pick-up for me. I’m small and slim so I generally get the help, but this guy was extra helpful and yummy. (Pity we passed each other like ships in the night). The house was spooky and the chaise longue, although needing reupholstering, was great. On the way back to work the story of ‘The Old Star’ dropped into my head. The title had been with me for a few weeks after I saw an old building with that name plaque hanging off the ruins, next to a burned out barn.
Here’s the blurb for the book.
The Old Star
She was looking for new office space...but it found her…what’s hidden in this spooky place?
When Cathy Faraday goes out from her office to buy morning tea, a set of circumstances send her on a different route from the one she would normally take. Waiting on a street unknown to her is a house. Old and left to fade away the house looks shabby against its neighbors. The whole row of houses are now offices and Cathy sees a ‘for let sign’ outside the place. Something draws her to the house. Someone watches from the third floor window.
Cathy applies to rent the building to expand her dating agency business. As she begins to make it ready, the house reveals its secrets.
Erotic romance, with a twist of paranormal, set in contemporary England this story will haunt you.
Graphic sex/love scenes. 18+ only.
It’s releasing from Hot Ink on Kindle August 23, so look out for it, and check my blog for the buy links.
In the meantime, here is the cover reveal and a chance to enter the prize draw:
Here’s an excerpt, 18+ R rated
She was looking up into his eyes and as he kissed her, she put her arms up around his neck. ‘She likes me, she wants me.’ He kissed her until she was pressing her whole body along his. He nuzzled her neck and realized he was so enjoying her kiss, her touch, and that there was something real about this. ‘It’s not using her if I like her too…’
He sucked at her neck and felt her move to him. He held her face to his and whispered against her lips. “Cathy, I want you so much…”
She murmured back to him between kisses. “I want you too. I’m shocked by it. I wouldn’t normally fall into making out with the painter. Sorry, I meant so soon, as soon as….I met him...”
He smiled and kissed her again. He hugged her close. “I’m not just the painter, though Cathy. I do know the family you rent this place from.”
She was tracing her fingertips up and down his spine and she stopped.
“Do you? So that’s why you can come and go the way you do.”
He nodded not wanting to get to that part of his story yet.
He kissed down her neck again and slowly moved his hands up into her T-shirt. He found her bra and unclipped it as she sighed, and kissed his ear and jaw. He cupped her breasts and sighed too. She felt so good, her skin so soft, her nipples hard against his palms. He went back to kiss her mouth, and as she opened it to touch his lips with her tongue, he groaned a little enjoying the kiss. His cock hardened and he left her breasts to open her jeans. She kissed him and unzipped his jeans as he unzipped hers.
She had her hands in his shorts and her fingertips were cool on his cock. He wanted to thrust so badly, but he wanted his fingers against her clit. He wanted to slip a finger into her and feel the moistness, have her thrust on his hand and so he whispered. “Help me. Pull your jeans down…open your legs a little. I want my fingers in you, Cathy.” She pulled her jeans to mid-thigh and took her panties with them. She put her hands up around his face and kissed him, her tongue in his mouth as he fingered her. She was gasping and so was he. Their kisses interspersed with it.
“You feel so good…” He murmured.
She made a little sound and answered him. “It feels great, it’s delicious. Owen there are people in the house. What if they come in search of me?”
Owen felt his cock straining against his clothes.
He nibbled her lips. “I need you badly.” He was circling her clit with his thumb and working his fingers in her. She began to thrust on his fingers and held his waist hard. It made him smile against her lips as her fingers pressed hard into the sides of his body. Suddenly she was groaning softly, her mouth by the side of his. Her hips thrust and he realized she was coming. Knowing this made him harder and he groaned as she finished. He held her for a few moments waiting to judge if he should pull her down onto the floor and fuck her. His thought sent spikes of desire into his cock and up between his legs.
Cathy took his fingers gently from her body. She kissed his lips and then she pulled his jeans and shorts down to his knees. He helped her thinking she would back him against the window and straddle him, but she dropped to her knees and took his cock into her mouth.

Shifting Hearts
Re-release of The
Wolfs Maine
 |
| Shifting Hearts |
BLURB:
(Re-release
of The Wolfs Maine)
Avalon felt
like her life was set on repeat. Every new day was just like the one before
until Avalon's friends talk her into venturing out and leaving her dead end relationship
behind. Little did she know that she would meet her soul mate face to face and
that he would ignite a desire in her that she never knew existed.
John had been watching over Avalon ever since her parents died when she was three but she had no clue. She had only been talking to him online for a year. She slowly learns that there is a whole world and a whole story she had not known about involving every one she knows and cares for.
Her boyfriend Nicholas is not the man she thought him to be, if he is a man at all and John seems to be more than he lets on as well.
Avalon soon discovers the hidden truths but can she handle it? With Nicholas seeking vengeance can John and her friends help her?

Avalon soon discovers the hidden truths but can she handle it? With Nicholas seeking vengeance can John and her friends help her?
EXCERPT
"Nicholas! Have you lost your mind?!" He walked
over to stand in front of me.
"Why of
course not Ava. Isn't that what you let him call you?"
My heart was
beating out of my chest.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why the man you are seeing. You let him call you
Ava right?
"You can't keep things from me Avalon. I know it
all."
I had no clue what to say, none at all. Do I confess or
lie? I might as well confess since he seems to know or is he just playing me to
get answers? What do I do?
"What are you thinking about now? What to tell me?
How to tell me you’re seeing someone else and want to leave me, that you know
damn well I won't let you do? Want to tell me that is who you were with all day
today when you should have been at home?" All I could do was stutter.
"Who? What? How?" His hand was reaching up and
wrapping around my throat as he got closer to me and whispered in my ear.
"Because my dear I know it all. I can find out
anything. You just ended your own life." I gasped as he threw me towards
the broken wine rack that I fell right on top of. Glass punctured my hands as I
hit the floor. He started towards me but I couldn't get up, all I could do was
crawl my way backwards.
My life was over. Nicholas was surely going to kill me;
I could see it in his eyes. He was towering over me all 6'4” of him, he bent
down and clasped my throat in his hands. As I looked into his eyes all I could
see was rage. It almost looked as if his eyes were turning red. He was
beginning to squeeze my throat tighter, I could feel the panic throughout my
body but there was nothing I could do.
He had me pinned to the ground, I couldn't move and now
I couldn't breathe........

GilesFest 2013
Please join me in welcoming the lovely and talented GL Giles to Exile on Peachtree Street! GL has dropped to let us know more about her release, Water Vamps, released as a 2nd Edition via Black Wyrm Publishing. Here's some insight into this imaginative and very original YA novel:
Take a both fun-filled and treacherous ride into the waters surrounding the peninsular city of Charleston, South Carolina with G.L. Giles’s water vampires. Slake your thirst for different vampire species and subspecies at the same time! On dry land, you’ll also experience a part of Charleston, South Carolina (set primarily in the 1980s)---from White Point Garden to The Battery to the surrounding marshes, complete with plough mud and fiddler crabs---atmospherically rich with the inherent tapestry of the Carolina Lowcountry and then embellished with a healthy dose of dark fantasy! With several species of vampires in the mix, conflicts naturally arise. Add to that, some of the various species of vampires, as well as some of the humans, also have potentially fatal run-ins with some of the specters and shape-shifters found in this young adult novella as well. More than just peppering the plotline are the mostly human protagonists, Robyn and Marion, who are like contemporary versions of Robin Hood and Maid Marian in many ways---that is, with Robyn being a female and Marion a male in Giles’s mythology---and the ‘young love’ version to boot, as they’re middle school kids. Yet, unlike other children their age, they have special ‘gifts’ and a lot of responsibility for those so young in years. You see, they have the distinct burden, squarely placed upon them, of being the only ones who can save their older counterparts from another place and time: Setiana and Vasario.
Look at just a few excerpts from the reviews of Water Vamps. This is what readers are saying about Water Vamps and GL Giles...
"A new kind of vampire is created in Water Vamps and Giles fascinates readers with those differences."
"I think (Bram) Stoker would be well pleased to see this 'new breed'.
"Anyone who writes like this and can create such a unique twist on the vampire mythos makes me happy to read more and anxious to see what she writes next."
You can connect with GL Giles at the following social media sites. Be on the lookout for upcoming news on her next release! She's definitely one author you will be seeing more of in the future.
