Author Interview!!

 Kindly introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm Jill Shannon, author of the Midnight Oasis series and the Celtic Demons series. I've been writing romance novels for six years, but have been reading them since I was thirteen. In my books you will read about heroes, heroines, villains and happy endings.

When did you start writing and why?

I started writing in 2015, and I started because the romance books I was reading were all starting to sound the same. So I sat down and wrote what I wanted to read.

Why did you write the series and not an individual novels?

All of my books are stand alone books. However, it is recommended you read all of them in the series. I chose to write the series, because there were other characters that needed their stories written, but needed to be center stage.

Did your family support you in writing?

Yes, my family supports my writing. I don't think they expected me to write six novels though.

What makes you smile the most?

Spending time with my family, watching my grandchildren be kids, a good comedy, a beautiful sunset, the list can go on... However, if I'm being really honest- this will sound sooo bad, but I cannot help myself from smiling when I see someone fall. (I always check first to make sure they are okay) But there are times I laugh uncontrollably. Lol!

When are you releasing your next novel?

I don't have a set date for my next release, but I am researching the plot I'd like to write.

Which’s your favourite genre and who’s your inspiration?

I enjoy just about any kind of romance. As far as inspiration, I enjoyed reading Johanna Lindsey and Lynsay Sands growing up, but my all time favorite author is Sherrlyn Kenyon.

What are the challenges you face while writing a book?

The biggest challenge I have when I'm writing is finding the time to sit down and put my thoughts on paper.

What are the advices you would like to give to the aspiring writers?

My advice would be, don't let anyone discourage you from writing your story, you never know when what you write might help someone. Try to gather a following before your book comes out, this way it will receive the notice books need these days. Finally, be financially secure. Because unless you write like E.L. James, James Patterson or just about any celebrity these days the payoff is not enough to survive on.

Do you genuinely read the reviews? Does negative reviews and comments affects you?

Yes, I read my reviews. I enjoy hearing what the reader liked and didn't like. I would be lying if I didn't say bad reviews didn't have an effect on my feelings. Yet, I take them in stride, I'm not going to be able to please everyone. But it does raise my blood pressure when someone leaves a bad review for a book they should have never picked up to read in the first place. They know before they even read it they aren't going to like it, but they read it anyway and then rip the author apart for exactly what was supposed to be in the book. I think that's just wrong.

Thank you!

 Title: Redemptive Trauma

Author: David

Genre: Non- fiction 

Review:

What if someone becomes a defrocked priest ?

Having spent a decade as an Anglican cleric in Southwestern Ontario, David served in leadership in three urban social-justice focused appointments as a priest in the Anglican Church of Canada. David was deprived of ministry and terminated from his appointment as incumbent priest of his parish on December 12th, 2018. 

He was in his fourth month on medical leave. David was formally accused, investigated and found guilty of sexual misconduct, all while he was drugged out, melting down on social media.

As someone working to heal from traumatic stress injuries from childhood, David's diagnosis with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in 2018 led him to become a public advocate for the de-stigmatization of mental health and addiction issues (especially when related to generational trauma). 

He quickly learned the challenges and opportunities this presents, as he himself is one of the examples. 

Redemptive Trauma: Confession of a Defrocked Priest is a memoir embracing hard truths of trauma to help others heal their own.

The author is almost certain that if you don't like stories about sex, drugs, rock stars, alcohol, and the uneven rise and fall of the guilty and the innocent, you probably won't like the Bible either. Or this book. Otherwise, go ahead, dig into both.

This is a very heart- wrenching read but the motivation ahead is mind blowing. This is basically a memoir that tells the hard truths which will help others to heal faster than the usual. 

You won’t be able to forget this novel as it’s so inspirational and motivating. The book revolves around the author itself, his own experiences and learnings. The way author has talked about each and every aspect is mesmerising. 

The storyline is unique and to the point. It’s a short read, without being boring. If you like reading meaningful books, this one is for you.

The title captivates an idea about the storyline with a beautiful cover. It’s sad yet a beautiful and meaningful read. The language is simple and easy to understand.

 Title: Past, Present, Alternative: Nightfall

Author: Leilani

Genre: Fiction 

Review:

You have chosen your choice. Now you have to deal with the consequences. Anything can happen.

In this sequel to 'Past, Present, Alternative: Nightfall', equity becomes far from obtainable for Ian and his younger sister, Raelynn, against their mother. Fallen victim to an unjust trial, his reliance on evidence and morality depletes almost entirely. That is until he gets back home after running an errand and discovers his house razed and Raelynn nowhere to be seen.

Taken in by their aunt and eventually left with his sister's phone as clear evidence of an abduction, he quickly discovers a sticky note with a list of addresses written on it, taped to the back of its protective case.

Forced to abide by a time limit with limited resources to reference to in search of her, he chooses to follow his only source of information, uncertain of where it will lead him.

This is the second book I have read written by the author and this one is just amazing. Life is unpredictable and so this book is !

The characters are beautifully formulated and I liked the names of each character. The storyline is beautiful and apt. Easy to catch and understand.

The language is simple and easy to understand. The cover is beautiful, simple and elegant. The title will take you to the different world. 

It’s a short and a mesmerising read. Author’s imagination is so different that you will assume scenes in real.

This book contains graphic content surrounding sensitive topics that readers may find triggering, including suicide, sexual violence, and other numerous forms of abuse and violence. Reader discretion is advised.

Otherwise, this book is worth reading! Go and order your copy now.

Dulcinea Bedford's mom's last words to her were, "Live the adventures we always dreamed about." Well, that was what she was going to do. Boarding the newest BDSM ship, Black Diamond, of the Midnight Oasis Cruise Line was the first step into her world of adventure.

Dulcinea, being new to the BDSM lifestyle, only confirms Jackson's determination to be her only Master… until Samuel Romanoff enters the picture and a whole new adventure unexpectedly begins for her.

Join the crew of the Midnight Oasis Cruise Line on their last journey into a world of decadence, intrigue, and love.

 Title: Onyx: A BDSM Cruise Romance (Midnight Oasis Book 1).

Author Jill Shannon

Genre: Romance

Review:

Few days back, I reviewed The Celtic Demon’s series and it was a masterpiece. Every book of the series have been beautifully written with equal importance given to each character.

Now, I started with another series and read the first book of the series, Onyx: A BDSM Cruise Romance (Midnight Oasis Book 1).

It’s again a marvellous book with a combination of adult romance and thrill. Love is the intimate feeling. 

All her life, Sadie Sommers has dreamed of becoming a singer. When she is hired to perform on the Onyx, the first ship in a new BDSM cruise line, she hopes to grab the attention of a music producer. Instead, she grabs the attention of her boss, Master Cameron. Cameron Alexander, co-owner of the Midnight Oasis Cruise Line, knew Sadie was the submissive for him the minute he heard her sing in a bar in New York.

When she accepts the position as lead singer during the maiden voyage of the Onyx, he has seven days to convince her she belongs to him in all ways. But when Sadie doesn't return to the ship after a day in Jamaica, Cameron is forced to choose between saving Sadie and avenging his parents’ deaths. Delicious games are played on this beautiful ship, but no one expected some to become a matter of life and death.

My favourite character is Sadie, what an amazing role she played. This series could be turned to a movie and would be definitely a hit one. 

The storyline is simple and sorted. The language is simple and easy to understand. The title is lovely. This should be the must read by each and every reader !

Title: The Artists

Author: Amit

Genre: Fiction 

Review:

Sahana Roy is a ballet dancer. Aarav Verma is a pianist. Manvita Joshi is an actor.

On a train journey to Delhi, the three meet each other for the first time. They were asked to deliver a performance at the National Arts Festival. However, the theme of the performance was yet to be disclosed to them. As they start mingling, the night unfolds into their individual stories from the past.

Will Sahana find her closure? Will Aarav be free from his inhibitions? Will Manvita find her purpose?

The Artists delves into three tales of relentless passion and takes you on an enthralling ride into the world of dance, music and theatre.

Such a beautiful and a living read. Sahana, Aarav and Manvita: you will live with us forever. This is a realistic match without being boring. 

Few lines will always be remembered and cherished. It didn’t seem like a debut book but moreover seemed like a full time author’s book. 

The story is beautifully narrated with the strength to overcome all the obstacles of life cheerfully. 

The language is simple and easy to understand. The cover is artistic and the title is related to the story!

 Title: Last Change At Love

Author: Judith

Genre: Romance 

Review:

Unexpected romance, complex family relations, and unhealed wounds comingle as two single parents wrestle with their pasts, putting everything on the line for one last chance at love.

Samira Cartwright is smart, she is steady, and she is very settled. Widowed much too young, Samira is raising her daughters as a single mother and running the programs at the local library. Her life is simple, safe, and predictable. Maybe too predictable!

J.P. Ralston's life is anything but simple. His professional reputation in the courtroom reflects great success, but his reputation with women speaks otherwise. Detached, untamed, and set in his ways, J.P. embarks upon new territory when research needed to close a case intersects with Samira's jurisdiction at the library.

This is nothing but everything, a sweet and light hearted read. This book is divided into 70 chapters and each chapter has a different essence of life. 

My favourite romantic read. I fell in love with the book, no doubts. I liked Samira’s character, beautifully written. I fell in love with this book:)

This isn’t recommended to the beginners. The language is strong. The title is beautiful and eye catchy. The cover seems romantic. 

A definite read !! Grab your copy now!!

Waiting for its sequel.

Title: Bhoot Bhavish Bartaman

Author: Mehool

Genre: Crime Thriller Fiction 

Review:

This book is a perfect crime thriller read. I took a long tome to read this book as I didn’t want this book to end. 

The story revolves around Mrs. kalra who was found dead in her room. 

The usual suspects are arrested by the Police until an odd-ball amateur sleuth starts to investigate. Something about the murder does not sit right with him. 

To start with, the victim – Rupali, a regular housewife living in marital bliss. But is that the truth? Why would someone murder her and why did she meet such a gruesome end? Who, in reality, was she?

Introducing Major Bartaman Bhowmick, Southern Command of the Indian Army. Peace-time army life and supportive seniors allow Major Bhowmick to indulge in his hobby and passion – crime detection. His sharp investigative talents are highly valued by his cousin, an ACP in Pune. Robin Chowdhury is a city crime reporter, whose combination of keen intellect, attractive looks and affinity for all things tech, makes her a great sidekick for the Major.

This book is as much about Rupali’s astounding story as her murder and Major Bhowmick and Robin’s investigation into the murder with its surprising conclusion.

This is a engaging thriller story narrated out of the box. I liked the way the story came to an end. A perfect combination of mystery and thrill. 

The character development is beautifully done. All the characters have been balanced which is very essential to make the story interesting. 

The way author has narrated the story is amazing, it’s intriguing. The cover gives a glimpse of the story. The title suits the story. 

Recommended to everyone.

 Title: Diesel’s Keepsake (The Celtic Demons Book 3)

Author: Jill Shannon

Genre: Fiction 

Review:

They met under unfortunate circumstances, but somehow, it was meant to be.

This book is the third book of the series, The Celtic Demons and I can assure you that this book will give you goosebumps while reading. 

They met under unfortunate circumstances, but somehow, it was meant to be.

Ciara O'Malley is ready for a change. In a new place, with a new job, and definitely a new Dom. With no family ties, she accepts a position at the Horry County coroner's office in South Carolina, never dreaming that the death of one woman would turn her world upside down.

The physical scars Romeo 'Diesel' Diaz wears run deeper than anyone realizes. He has given up all hope of ever finding a woman to break through the barriers he has erected. That is until his sister Isabella dies, and he meets Ciara, the medical examiner and a submissive at heart. Will Ciara be the one to set him free from the stigma he has branded himself with?

There is always an ache when someone you love dies. Especially if that loved one dies unexpectedly. We feel the pain of sorrow, regret, and the realization that time matters. It's also a time of reacquaintance with old friends, loved ones, and sometimes it brings extraordinary people together for new beginnings.

Author’s imagination and her way of writing is the best. The word building makes super easy for the beginners to understand the story. 

The cover and the title is eye catchy. The language used by the author is lucid.

 Title: Tainted Harvest

Author: Billups

Genre: Historical fiction 

Review:

She escaped servitude for a worse fate. Now she wants everyone to know what happened.

Travel writer Simone Doucet is searching for a meaningful life, but she hasn't found a purpose yet. But after she accepts an assignment that takes her to Magnolia Sunrise - a historical bed-and-breakfast on the bluffs of Natchez, Mississippi - strange events begin to take place.

Frightful images of a young slave girl, Delphine, haunt her nights. The first night at the B&B, Simone is transported to 1863, antebellum Natchez. Through spectral eyes, Simone sees Delphine’s history; the horrors she witnessed and was subjected to.

Delphine wants everyone to know what happened to her, and she won't stop haunting Simone until she tells her story. But why has Delphine chosen Simone, and will this awakening bring new purpose to her life, or open up more untold mysteries to be discovered?

This book is not for all, I must tell you. It unfolds end number of historical events. It requires a certain level of understanding, it’s a masterpiece.

I liked the way author has takeover the story from past to present and had perfectly balanced. Unique storyline, beyond the horizon.

The characterisation is different, seemed like living characters. It’s about hope, revenge, tears, slavery, pain, and a lot more.

Proses are beautiful. 

“Skeletal antiquity,

Deeply seeded,

Root-to-leaf fodder,

For the Devil’s harvest,

Below the bluffs of Natchez Trace.

When Sumter thundered, plantations shuttered,

Relented barbarous tricentennial bondage,

Jubilant cries of freedom followed,

‘til Union Armies hollered, halt,

Thwarting thousand’s glory walk.

Detained, rerouted, entrapped, encamped on banks,

Flesh and bone buried where they sank.

Oh, what spoilage stains the bowl-shaped gulch,

Below the bluffs of Natchez Trace.

A forsaken, veritable unwritten history,….” 

The language is simple and easy to understand. The cover is decent with an appreciable title. A perfect read !

 Title: Peoplonomis 

Author: Vijay

Genre: Non- fiction 

Review:

Peoplonomics is an honest piece of work that tries to bring forward the way in which people and organisation play a critical role in each other success. In a very crystalline way, the book defines that only 4 types of people exist in any place of work; one of which ought to be you. 

The kind of people who you are associated with are the reason because of which you are either struggling or succeeding. They have a strong co-relation to the position that you are currently occupying and gives you a clear indication of where it will take you in the later stage of your life. Similarly, it also tells the organisation how the people who consists the work environment influence in their growth trajectory. 

The book in a thought-provoking manner also tries to convey that no matter who among the 4 type you are, values and principles will always remain an integral part of progress and prosperity; both for the individual and the organisation.

The author’s experience has been forecasted in this book. The success in corporate life has been explained and demonstrated by the author. This is the best book for the beginners to shape their career. 

This is a very knowledgeable book. I myself is working in corporate and I could relate to each and every step explained by the author. 

A practical read without exaggeration. The language is simple and easy to understand. Recommended to the ones who are working in corporate or are planning to.

Do you want to succeed in professional life? This is the best guide then.

Review:

I finished reading this masterpiece on the beautiful occasion of Friendship Day. This is a slight glimpse of what’s inside this book. This is the second book of the Celtic Demons series.

How far would you go to help a friend? A question asked by Willow Lawson to herself. 

Willow’s boss was blackmailed for the past he left behind and moved on and she knew about that. Willow takes the challenge to help him, having no idea what is truly involved. 

Hunter 'Saint' Murphy has done his time in the military, leaving him with scars that haunt his dreams. Being a member of the Celtic Demons offers him the brotherhood that mirrors the bonds he forged while in the service. Yet nothing he tries quiets the nightmares. That is until he meets Willow, the one woman who silences everything but his hunger for her.

Joining forces with the Celtic Demons, Hunter and Willow search for a way to help her friend. As they work together, they uncover a love neither one of them thought was possible and a deeper darker plot into the world of human trafficking.

Title: The Incredible Mr Sweets: The coming-of-age story of an ex-con who finds his calling in life through music

Author: Jasveer

Genre: Fiction 

Review:

What goes through the mind of a hardened criminal when he is released from prison after thirty-four years?

A mix of emotions ranging from happiness and excitement of being free to confusion and maybe even fear of unwelcome society's wrath and people not accepting him. He might also feel lost because the world would've changed so much by the time he comes out of prison. This could all happen to anyone but not John Sweets Russo. He's a tough nut to crack, and thirty-four years in prison couldn't break his spirit. He will not let his guilt bend him down and let the world break his spirit. He is not asking for a second chance from anyone. He is making a come-back.

John Sweets Russo was once the left-hand man of William Vallery, the head of the notorious Vallery gang of Toronto and now aspires to be a singer. He is looking for a chance to make the most of his life that is left, considering he is seventy-five now. As he got out of prison and joined a world he didn't recognize anymore, all he wanted to do was to sing.

Very few people get a second chance in life like Jasmeet John Sweets Russo. Even after making some horrible decisions in life, he gets a second chance. Not many are as lucky as he is. Make the most of what you have.

You know what, life is different to each one. This book isn’t just a novella, moreover it’s the spirit of a person in his/ her life. 

Singing has been one of my favourite hobby and it’s the lyrics only that changes your mood and mind. How lucky John is ! Life gave him the second chance to become a singer. 

This book talks about the identity crisis faced by immigrant’s children born in Canada. A very enjoyable read. This book should be read by everyone as a lot of emotions has been discussed by the author. 

The plot is super duper amazing and interesting. I enjoyed reading this book. The language is simple and easy to understand. The title is unique and the theme is intriguing. 

Short and crisp read ! Go and order your copy now.

 Title: Bangalored

Author: Gayatri

Genre: Romance 

Review:

This is a beautiful love story and moreover a romantic read of Radha and James. Each and every chapter begins with a lovely quote. 

James Rutherford is expecting this Bangalore trip to be much like any other. Fly in, get the work done and rush back home, to England. What he certainly didn't expect, was to be smitten by an opinionated Indian girl. What was it about her that captured his imagination and would not let go? Had his heart been Bangalored?

The last thing Radha Iyer expects when she does a friend a good deed is to be catapulted into a world of flirtation and adventure. With a handsome man involved, she wasn’t about to complain.

But with romance comes heartbreak...

It seemed like a contemporary love story and the plot is common but the way author has presented, it seemed like watching a movie. 

The title is beautiful as the story revolves in Bangalore. The cover is simple and beautiful. The chats in between the book are lovely.

This is a pretty lovely book to gift to your partner or loved ones. Go and order your copy and fall in love with the book.
