Today we have a huge CONTEST for you. Today you can win the first Shetlands Immortals: Against My First Love book. ALL you have to do is comment on the blog with your email below. 


Shetland Immortals: Against My First Love Blurb: 


Carla McBain was just an ordinary sixteen year old girl, until one late night in October; Carla was murdered in her dorm room. Carla was scared until Oscar and Daryl meet her on her return to the Islands, to meet her parents. After confronting her, they realise that she is a new Immortal.

After staging her death, the pair convinces Carla to return to their Holy Ground, where they tell her everything that they know. They train her until the day comes that the Islanders grew suspicious of her presence there within the Old Viking Temple.

Deciding it’s safer to leave, they head out into the night in search of someone else who can tell them the truth about why they are Immortals. What will they find?

Can Oscar and Daryl survive outside of the Temple with a young Immortal?

How did they end up Immortal and why are they protecting her?

What happens when she meets her first love who is responsible for her being Immortal in the first place?

We also have today a wonderful surprise, as many of you know. There is print versions to certain books coming to XoXo Publishing INC this year. With that news comes the knowledge that there is two of my biggest series that will be taking a dip in that big pool. 

So for you today, here is the wonderful covers that my cover artist, editor and PR assistant created for us. I have also included the blurbs to these books for your reading leisure.  Enjoy and I would love to hear your thoughts on these particular books.


We start with the wonderful A Different Life: From The Beginning. The book that contains the first three ebooks and bonus chapters. This is a coming soon Print book. 

From unknown writer and dancer comes Layla or author Midnight as she bursts onto the scenes of the world of Professional Wrestling. Ripping the curtain down, she takes over their world. Her books stir mayhem as love blooms between herself and the men she has idealised since she was a teenager. What would you do if you fell in love with two brothers and still had a boyfriend sitting at home? Well Layla faces that and much more in this twist and turning three part story. Are you ready for sweaty, muscularly men and a modern romance that will leave your knees weak? Your heart beating fast and you asking yourself the question Will or Edward or Cameron?  

Moving onto to the wonderful Paranormal world of magic, sword fighting, prophecy, we have The Shetland Immortals Collection that will contain the first four books of the Shetland Immortals series. 

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be Immortal? Would you want to be the girl connected to a prophecy that can give centuries old Immortals the one thing they either want or would kill to stop? Carla knows what that feeling is like and she is on a rollercoster that is all about life and death. Her, her mentor Oscar, The Immortal Chief, Krystal-Marie, Mark McHarrison and Daryl are about to know exactly what its like to be in the middle of a prophecy that is older than King Arthur. From King Arthur's time till the year 2013. This book follows this group as they all play apart in an prophecy that the Norse Gods themselves planned out!

These are proving to be the best books I have ever had the pleasure on working on. I will make a side note in each of the blogs leading up to their release. I will also be holding a contest to win these print books when they come out. So please make sure that you stay tuned for them.

We are really about to release some of the hottest creations on the world. So please let me know what you think of the covers. 

Thank you for having me and I hope that you will come back next month to join me.

Kristal McKerrington's Thoughts On Paranormal Romance.

Hello All The Wonderful Sweet and Sexy Diva Blogs Readers, 

Today I wanted to talk about my love for writing my Paranormal Romance series and a little of the genre itself. I just want to share my thoughts with you on what I can see happening and what might help the genre. I write series of Paranormal Romance, such as Highlander Norse God Series and Shetland's Immortals. These are the series that made me fall in love with writing Paranormal books. Ever since I try to make sure that what I do put into the Paranormal Romance genre is different and worth reading.  

Why, would I fall in love with Paranormal Romance and why would I be thinking of the future of it recently?

There is no real rules in Paranormal Romance series other than the obvious ones. There is a chance to push the boundaries of this genre to whole new limits and maybe beyond that if a writer or Author can really invest the story, plot and characters. Plus if your writing in a sub genre of Paranormal Romance then you have a chance to do something other than the standard Vampires, Werewolves, Pixies and Fairies. There is so much that you can do with it, that it reminds me of being in a Candy Store where you don't you just have to type of Candy, you can mix the candies together to create something totally different. 

Lately I have been thinking about the genre as both a Writer, Author and a Reader. When I looked at it in with each of those different hats on I realised something that was a little shocking. I felt slightly disappointed by the range of the Paranormal Romance stuff that I can read as reader. As a Writer/Author, what we are putting out for those readers to read. I also think with those two hats on that its essential that we read the genre that we are writing in so that we know what is working and what doesn't. Cause if you love it as a Reader then that is going to show more in your plots, stories and even characters.

To give you an example. For Shetlands Immortals, I spent two months researching Immortals and realised there was very few Immortals stories that didn't involve Vampires, Pixies, Werewolves, Time Travellers stuck in different worlds that I realised an opening. There was nothing with magic, swords, betrayal and a Highlander kind of theme so I took that into my notes and that was how I came up with Shetlands Immortals Books. A series that a lot of Ebook Writers and Authors have enjoyed from start to finish. I might not be even close to finishing my series, but I'm still watching the Paranormal Market closely.

Even when I created Highlander Norse God Series, I created it out of the legends and myths that surrounded the place I grew up. I was more than delighted that I had the chance to do this for those people who have always been fascinated by the Norse Gods, who are never used in the series of Paranormal Romance or really anywhere. I was still scared that it would follow some other curve so I threw something in to keep it very different again, I made it Erotica so that I was taking another Angle of genres under my belt, while giving my books an edge.

This was something that didn't take me too long to get comfortable with and I look forward to writing more Erotica in the future. People enjoyed the tattoo's element that made it yet again different and when I finally get all the stories all together into one book I think it will be the best book I have ever written.

You see, one tool I use to stop myself from becoming stale is, I often ask readers what Paranormal Romances that they enjoy reading and I have to say that today, I would also like to know your thoughts. What is your favourite? What is your favourite type of Paranormal characters? 

All those questions I find essential for when I'm writing Paranormal Series and with another Shetland's Immortals book coming soon to all my readers. I wonder what more characters I should add to the list of Paranormal beings that will be making an appearance in the series. I all ready have Angels, Dragonshifer, A Vampire, Werewolf and some others that will be crossing paths with Carla during her travels around the world. I have Selkies and some other creatures that is associated with the Nordic World, but my aim would to bring all the Paranormal Types together into her series at one point. Hard I know, but I think I might just be able to pull it off.

So today I wanted to take a little bit of time out to stress the importance of having research for when you enter the Paranormal Romance genre. I hope that in that research that more Writers and Authors, will start to ask themselves “What can I give to Paranormal Romance, so the readers have something else to sink there teeth into?”  Maybe even become more adventurous.

Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that I wouldn't write a Vampire, Werewolf, Pixie books at sometime, but if I do then I want it to follow a completely different formula. I do plan to use them as brief appearance characters in my book, yet I think that we all need something a little different. This is what will keep us all fresh and on our toes. I believe that if more of us can do this, that maybe we will want to try outside of the box of the genre so that this hot trend genre wouldn't start to die off. Sometimes we need to keep fanning the flames too keep a fire going and doing something different can help to fan the flames of the fire we don't want to die out yet.

I just hope to see more different stuff coming out in such a wonderful genre, so that in 2 or 3 years time we all aren't asking. 'Why has the Paranormal Romance genre died out?' Something to think about since Country themed genres, Contemporary romances as well as other genres are now struggling, because people just got sick and tired of the same old stuff being done in those genres. 

Now for some fun, I would love to hear what characters that you would like to see crossing paths with Carla? I have also got some more stories that I will be working on for the Highlander Norse God series and will be looking to do one huge book full of there stories. So make sure that you keep an eye out for that coming.

Thank you for coming out today and I look forward to reading your thoughts on this blog and what you would like to see. Sometimes I always think its easier and better to ask the reader what they want then it is to just try and guess. What do you all think?
