Upcoming Guests @ Literary Escapism

I have a full calendar of authors coming to visit Literary Escapism over the next couple of weeks and I wanted to share them with everyone.  Here are the authors stopping by, celebrating the release of their new novel:

Tuesday, March 31 – Kris Saknussemm
Come Meet Kris Saknussemm as he talks about his new novel, Private Midnight, and he gives us some of Noir’s Finest Hours (and Moments Too).  We’ll be giving away 2 copies of Kris’ novel!

Detective Birch Ritter is a man on the edge-of himself. His past is filled with secrets, shadows, guilt, and ghosts. Then a dubious police buddy he hasn’t seen in a year introduces him to a mysterious woman who says her business is shadows. What she knows about what lies between the darkness and the light inside men is more than Ritter may want to find out, and much more than he can resist learning. It’s said that to try to forget is to try to conceal, and concealing evidence is a crime. But maybe revelation is another kind of crime-against nature.

Friday, April 10 – Heather Summerhayes Cariou
Come meet Heather as she talks about her new novel Sixtyfive Roses and siblings on National Siblings Day.

When author Heather Summerhayes Cariou was six years old, she promised to die with her little sister Pamela, who’d been diagnosed with what Pam called “Sixtyfive Roses” – Cystic Fibrosis. Pam defied the limits of a dire prognosis, and in doing so taught Heather how to live. Together they discovered where to find joy and meaning in an often painful and uncertain world. Their faith was shaken at every turn, but never lost. This beautifully written memoir offers an unsparing eyewitness account of the pain, hope, and valor of a family in crisis as it falls apart and pulls itself together again and again, only to emerge stronger and more loving.

Tuesday, April 14 – John Marco
Come help me welcome back John Marco as we celebrate his new novel Starfinder!!

Steam trains and electricity are rapidly changing the world. Moth of Calio is obsessed with the airships developed by his friend Fiona’s grandfather Rendor, and dreams of taking to the air one day like his heroes, the Skyknights.

But not everyone is happy to see humans reach the skies. For thousands of years, the mysterious and powerful race known as the Skylords have jealously guarded their heavenly domain. But Moth and Fiona are about to breach the magical boundary between the world of humans and the world of the Skylords.

Tuesday, April 21- Kendra Leigh Castle
Come meet Kendra as she talks about her new novel Wild Highland Magic. Make sure you stop by as we’ll be giving away a copy of her novel to a lucky commentator.

The only man ever born to a race of powerful demi-goddesses, Bastian an Morgaine has never felt like he’s belonged anywhere. Seeking refuge among the MacInnes werewolves of the Scottish Highlands and protectors of the Stone of Destiny, Bastian never expects for his one secret—his own dark destiny—to take center stage when he meets Catrionna, a beautiful young werewolf learning about her Scottish and wolf heritage for the first time. An instant and undeniable attraction stuns them both and neither can deny the palpable magic under the Highland Moon. But when an evil looms near, will Bastian and Catrionna be able to keep their deepening love alive? Kendra Leigh Castle is available to discuss her intricate and powerful world building techniques, and just what it takes for two people destined to be together to fulfill their life paths.

Tuesday, April 28 – Laurie Brown
Come visit with Laurie as she talks about her new novel What Would Jane Austen Do?. Make sure you stop by, we’ll be giving away a copy of her new novel.

So, you’re in Bath for a Jane Austen Festival, staying at a wonderful quaint inn, when suddenly you find yourself transported through time by a pair of ghost sisters who want your help to thwart a duel that killed their brother… who else to turn to for the style and grace of the Regency than Jane Austen? Eleanor Pottinger finds herself in such a situation and the advice of Austen she’s learned from reading those classic novels in the present will help her in situation in the past—including her feelings for a dashing and notorious rake she can’t stop thinking about. Laurie Brown is available to discuss her research of the regency, her own love of Jane Austen and what exactly a girl’s to do when the man of her dreams lives in another era…

Tuesday, May 5 – Esri Rose
Esri will be here to talk about her new novel, Stolen Magic.

Romance Can Be Tricky…In a world where humans are displacing elves in alarming numbers, Adlia spends her days working at elf headquarters. But with no artistic talent of her own, and orphaned too young to have known her parents, Adlia is an outsider even among her own elven kind. Only Mark, her human photography instructor, sees that beneath her sarcastic humour lies a vulnerable soul – and a desirable young woman…Especially When An Elf Is Involved. But while relationships with humans are pleasurable, they’re also complicated, as Adlia is about to discover. For somewhere between her mind-blowing first human kiss and falling in love, a mysterious memory loss strikes the elf population. Now Adlia has to save her people and herself before she forgets everything. If she succeeds, she may also solve an important piece of her personal puzzle and find that Mark fits perfectly.

Tuesday, May 12 – Robin Kaye
Come visit with Robin as she talks about her new novel Too Hot To Handle. Make sure you stop by, we’ll be giving away a copy of her new novel.

A man who likes to cook and clean? Too good to be true, right? Not if you’re one of Robin Kaye’s Domestic Gods—manly men who know how to cook up something special in the kitchen and in the bedroom! Annabelle Ronaldi meets Mike Flynn at her sister’s wedding, and after their mind-blowing one night stand, neither can stop thinking about one another. But when buried secrets and shocking revelations begin to creep out form under the woodwork (even a Domestic God misses a few spots!), will they stay together or will things be too hot to handle? Robin is ready to get down and dirty—because she’s got her own real life Domestic God to clean up the mess! Robin can talk about her inspiration from her loud Italian family, and just what it takes to find—and keep—your very own DG.
