Satin Sheets Author of the Month - Claudy Conn


Satin Sheets Romance Author of the Month
~ Claudy Conn ~

I have been asked what my favorite genre of romance is and I have to say, hands down, that it is fantasy/paranormal. Why? Because it goes anywhere and everywhere. What does that mean? Simply put, fantasy/paranormal takes the reader away from the humdrum and gives us a ‘what if’.

I am a very big KarenMarie Moning fan. I have read all her ‘Highlander Series’ and her Fae Series over and over again. However, when I created my Fae series, “Legend”,  I saw the Fae as a brilliant and magical society from another Realm, but that society presented itself to me as very different than what Ms. Moning depicts in her books. How did I get there? Intense research. I read the old narrative poems of Celtic Mythology, and what I discovered was many different points of view when it came to the ‘People of the Light’. I discovered both Fae and Druids that needed their stories to be told, and I discovered my Queen, Aaibhe, and her favorite Prince, Breslyn. After that, I just listened to them, and Legend became an ongoing tale.

I also loved the Twilight Series, which presented us with vampires that didn’t have to be evil, and that totally opened a world of possibilities for me, hence, my Shadow series.

Still hungry to write, I took on the Regency World and decided to make it sensual, sexy, intriguing.

I have been asked to describe myself in three different words. 
Wow. 
1)Happy   2) content   3) naughty(so naughty)

Myriah Fire by Claudy Conn


It started with a stolen kiss …
Fiery Myriah Whitney is wild of nature, contrary, and independent. But when her father catches her kissing the handsome Sir Roland (how else is she to determine if he is the one who will make her feel thunder and lightning, hear bells and music?), he declares that her days of headstrong independence are over. She will, he commands, announce her engagement to Sir Roland—immediately....







Shadow Love Stalkers by Claudy Conn


What do you do when your father wants to turn you into a vampire and the man who offers you protection has his own, dark agenda? Shawna Rawley has no choice but to run. Pentim Rawley, one of the most evil vampires who has ever lived, has just discovered that she is his daughter. Now he’s obsessed with finding and turning her. She doesn’t want Pentim to find the people she loves and use them to get to her. She doesn’t want him to find and turn her. She has only one ace up her sleeve. The human in her may be at risk, but in addition to being half vamp, Shawna is also a white witch! Chad MacFare has an offer for Shawna he thinks she can’t afford to refuse: he’ll protect her from Pentim and his minions. But Shawna doesn’t trust the sexy immortal. She knows he has his own agenda—he wants to kill her father, and he wants to set her up as bait…

Spellbound Legend by Claudy Conn

~Ava's Review/Giveaway of Claudy Conn's Hungry Moon-Quicksilver~




Title: Hungry Moon Quicksilver


Author: Claudy Conn

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Website: http://claudyconn.embarqspace.com/#

Length: 270 Pages



Description:
Ravena MacAllister doesn’t want to admit what she is. She wants to continue pretending she’s just human … only human, like her mother, like her friends. 

But she isn’t human.

Heartbreak and betrayal send her off rushing to Scotland, to a familiar haven where she has spent so many summers with her father, but she soon discovers that everything has changed.

From the moment she meets Quinn MacValdane, shock waves travel through him to her and back again, wrapping them in a tide of passion she had never dreamt possible. But if they are to have a future together, she must confront who and what she is, for she will need to call on the powers within her as she becomes embroiled in an adventure that will alter her life forever.

The time for pretending is over.



Review:


A very magical, gripping, exciting and romantic read that would not allow its reader to put it down for a moment (I should know). Great lovable characters, a story that is so vividly written it plays like a movie in your head and all in a fantastical world that makes you want to go for a visit. Any paranormal romance reader out there would love Hungry Moon-Quicksilver!

Raven lives a human life as much as she possibly can. Deeply burying her magical side due to the fact her mother is not a magical being and Raven herself does not want to accept it. Things change dramatically for her when she finds her thought to be best friend in a situation with the man she’s grown to care for deeply. She takes a trip to visit her father in Scotland and the floodgates open as wide as possible, pouring out more and more changes. Some negative, most positive, but what changes most for her is her heart once she meets Quinn...

Quinn is an incredible, magical hot stud muffin of a male that has been trapped somewhere not of earths plain many years ago and has yet to figure out a way to get back home. Being trapped for 75 years and having someone that has never given up looking for a way out for him, he becomes flawed when the he meets the one possibility to be set free and his body practically goes haywire. Now together they embark on a mission to get him home.

This book has a lot of paranormal to it, a hot wizard, demons, shape shifters and more! A must read hot romance, with a beautiful family feel, a handsome hero and beautiful (and kick butt) heroine and very magical element that sizzles the pages; definitely a great book to escape away with again and again! I look forward to much more of Claudy Conn’s works. I LOVE her writing style :)
