25 Years Ago Today: Paranormal Romance Author Caitlyn Hunter

I’d like to welcome my guest, author Caitlyn Hunter. Caitlyn lives in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with her husband and two canine pals, Des and Fletch. Though you’d never guess it to look at her, she is part Cherokee and loves putting a paranormal romance spin on the legends of her ancestors.

Snow Shadows is the first book in her Eternal Shadows series. The second book, Storm Shadows was released in May. She is currently working on the third book in the series. Meanwhile, Winds of Fate, based on the Cherokee legend of the Blowing Rock in North Carolina will be released later this year.

Marcus Tassel, a character from the book Storm Shadows is answering the question “What were you doing 25 years ago?”

MARCUS: Twenty-five years ago, she appeared in my visions for the second time. She’d materialized once before, but when she showed up again, I knew she would play a vital role in my destiny. Over the years, she would appear many more times. I never saw her face clearly and when I finally met her in real life, she was something of a surprise.

More than likely, I would’ve turned away from her if I hadn’t recognized her eyes. I couldn’t deny those eyes. Storm shadow gray, they burned in my memory, lit with happiness, ablaze with anger, or shadowed with despair, yet always glowing with the fire of her love for me.

Not only would she help break a curse I’d lived under for countless years, she’d go up against her greatest fear to protect me, and when I still turned away from her, she’d wage a fierce battle to show me what the Shamans meant when they spoke of “deepest love” in the curse. Most important of all, she would prove to me that even I, an immortal shape-shifter, could find eternal happiness.

I’m intrigued! Read more about Caitlyn’s books on her web site and blog. What’s hiding in the shadows of Eternity Mountain? An ancient Cherokee curse, shape-shifters, and eternal love for four blood-brothers…if they can break the curse to claim it. Check out Storm Shadows on Amazon.

Summer Almost Over, Most Writing Goals Accomplished

It has been a productive summer and I’m proud that I accomplished most of my writing and publishing goals.

I made my trade paperback novel Twenty-Five Years Ago Today available in ebook format, uploading it to Kindle and arranging for Smashwords to distribute it to multiple ebook retailers including Barnes&Noble, Sony, Apple’s iPad Store, Diesel and Kobo.

My children’s picture book The Flag Keeper went into production and now has a web site and Facebook page. I also collected wonderful back cover blurbs from Steve Van Buskirk, Director of Programs, VFW National Headquarters, and Mike Buss, Deputy Director, Americanism, American Legion National Headquarters.

I’m in the process of working on a large review mailing related to my reality TV show-themed mystery suspense novel Sink or Swim, which will be officially released New Year’s Day, 2011. Also this summer, I collected endorsements about the book from Stephenie LaGrossa, owner of GiGI Restaurant & Lounge, Philadelphia PA, Television personality and fan favorite Survivor: Palau, Guatemala, Heroes vs. Villains; Shawne Morgan, contestant CBS’s The Amazing Race 16 and entrepreneur; and Michelle Costa, contestant Big Brother 10.

I’ve also signed on as one of the moderators at a fabulous new message board forum called Bestseller Bound which connects readers and indie authors. Stop by and join the discussion.

In August, some terrific writers have visited the blog so far. We heard from: Matthew Dicks, Mary Deal, J.R. Lindermuth, Gerry Charbonneau, Suzanne Young and Patricia Gulley.

Coming up, we’ll hear from authors: Loni Emmert, Timothy Hallinan, Norma Huss, Avery Aames, Caitlyn Hunter, Barbara Ross, Kenneth Weene and Monica Brinkman. During the week of Sept. 12, I’ll host my first theme week “Fun With Food Week,” in which every post will tie into characters who enjoy cooking. Late September also marks the release of The Flag Keeper and a special giveaway. Stay tuned!
