M.A. Church

Release Date: October 1, 2016

ISBN: 978-1-945193-53-8

Categories:  Gay, Shifters, PNR
Romance Flame: 4
Price: $2.99

Book Description:

When neither choice is acceptable, then what?

To save his jamboree from obliteration, Omega Cade Decker is forced into a match with the powerful but merciless Grady Williams. While he may be attracted to the big, bad Alpha, and Grady will protect him from a corrupt Alpha jaguar, Cade won’t settle for anything less than the love of his life.

As Alpha of one of the most powerful jaguar jamborees around, Grady’s reputation for bloodthirst is more of a help than a hindrance. When Alpha Decker approaches him with a proposal, Grady jumps at the chance to mate with Decker’s Omega brother. Grady doesn’t believe in love but craves having a beautiful, talented partner, so this arrangement is perfect.

When Cade is kidnapped, Grady realizes his love equals his fear that he’ll never get his mate back…



Ten Things I Love About Halloween by M.A. Church

1. Autumn colors are simply beautiful. The vibrant yellows, reds, and oranges add to the ambience of the season. When the leaves start to turn, that signifies autumn is here.

2. There are always scary movies on in October. Okay, so I’m not a big horror fan, but I do like the old black and white ones from long ago. It’s a good excuse to snuggle with a loved one.

3. Even down here in the South, when October arrives there’s this nip in the air. It brings to mind big piles of leaves, wood fires, and cooler temps. Some of my favorite memories are of Mom raking huge piles of leaves. I couldn’t wait to dive-bomb them.

4. It’s the perfect excuse to dress up. Oh man, is there anything better than stalking the aisles of a store looking for a costume? I think it’s the whole ‘being somebody else’ mentality. Want to be a vampire? Then be a vampire! Want to be a werewolf? Get ready to howl at the moon then. LOL

5. I freely admit part of the appeal of Halloween is browsing all of the spooky things in the stores. When they start putting up displays it’s like waving chocolate in front of me. I’m drawn to all the colors and creepy-looking things.

6. It’s a pumpkin overload! Pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin coffee, cookies that look like pumpkins… and the list goes on.

7. And speaking of pumpkins, pumpkin patches need to be on the list of places to visit. There’s a working farm in the town where I live. The schools bring classes to the farm. One of the best things is watching the kindergartners pick out their pumpkins in the field. Follow that up with hay rides, then a walk through the corn maze, and it’s a memory to relish for a lifetime.

8. Oh! And can’t forget pumpkin carving. I used to do this with my kindergarten class. I’d plan a day up, the parents would bring in a pumpkin, and I set up stations in the cafeteria. Then I’d divide the kids up into groups and assign them to a parent. Each child would get to help with the pumpkin in some way. We’d make a production out of it.

9. Then, of course, there’s the candy. My kids are grown now, so I don’t get to pick through the goodies anymore. *grin* But all is not lost! We still get trick-or-treaters. So now I wait for the knock on the door. I love seeing the costumes kids picked out.

10. Candy corn. Seriously, need I say more? People either love it or hate it… and I’m in the love it camp. I mean, when do you get to eat candy corn any other time of year? It’s one of the best things about Halloween. Yum!

Book Description:

Megan’s weekend just took a dangerous, sexy turn…

What's not to love about a girl’s weekend in Dublin? Megan Sanders loves being out on the town and out on the pull with her mates, but unfortunately, she’s attracted the attentions of a man with downright murderous intentions.

Seth Martin knows vampire Samuel Bennington is evil, and only his pack of elite wolf shifters can protect Megan. That is, if they can convince her that she needs their help.

Soon Megan finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of fear and lust. She's being hunted for her blood, yes, but she's also crazy about the guy who has sworn to protect her. But which man will win? Will her blood sate Bennington's hunger, or will Seth remind her why it's good to be alive, and give her pleasure beyond anything she's known before?



A Passion for Pumpkins
By Lily Harlem

I’ve always loved Halloween. When I was young it was dressing up and going trick or treating with my brothers, coming home and spreading the loot on the table and deciding who’d had the most success. We were rarely allowed sweets, my mother obsessed with us avoiding tooth decay and fillings, but at Halloween we were allowed to gorge on the generosity of neighbours.

I live in a small village in the Wales, and when October 31st comes round the clocks have fallen back an hour and it’s dark by 6pm – the blackness is increased where I live because our rural area has no streetlamps. It’s also cold in October, not snow-cold, but definitely icy, see-your-breath-in-the-air cold. I’m one of the neighbours on the lane who always makes an effort for the kids that come calling with their pumpkin shaped buckets and their wacky outfits.

I hang a large, brightly coloured witch on the tree at the end of the drive, set candles in jam jars to lead the way to the house, and ensure there are plastic bats, skeletons and cobwebs hanging around the porch. I even put on spooky music for the kids to listen to as I answer the door.

One of the things I always really enjoy making is the pumpkins - one to stand in the bay window of our cottage looking outwards and one for the kitchen table. I try and make them a little different each year and use the internet for inspiration.

Penny Roach gives some great idea for traditional pumpkins http://www.pennyroach.com/21-handsome-pumpkin-carvings-ideas/  which are the sort I put in the window for the kids to enjoy.


But inside the house, for Mr H and I to enjoy, there’s usually something a little  different and more sophisticated. For example I love this stocking pumpkin, it’s so sexy!



And Tinkerbell has always been my favourite Disney character, not sure if I could manage this one but I’m planning on having a go.

One year I created this vase pumpkin, sadly I didn’t get a photograph of mine, but filled with orange and yellow flowers it made a great centrepiece and lasted quite a while.



And for a bit of glamour, this has to go the list for a try in the future…


But surely, the best one of all – the wine cooler pumpkin!


Happy Halloween, I hope you all have lots of treats and enjoy any tricks you find yourself getting up to ;-)
