What Readers are Saying about Release

Release was a well researched, beautifully written epic story that I heartily enjoyed. The character development was so excellently executed. I was certainly invested in the story, and felt my heart stop a few times in anticipation. I believe this would make a wonderful, successful mini series :) A great debut novel from Nicole, one of which I most definitely recommend to readers who enjoy historical vampire novels with that ‘epic’ feel. Going in the to-read-again pile!

More Reviews

March 25th to April 5th, join Nicole Hadaway on her Release book tour. There’ll be reviews, giveaways, excerpts, interviews and more.

Release is a paranormal vampire tale set during World War II:

“The ends justify the means”

For vampire Miranda Dandridge, using her supernatural abilities to rescue children from impossible circumstances is her means to be a part of the human world that she loves so much, despite the atrocities of WWII.

For doctor Ben Gongliewski, saving his fellow Jews from the horrific death camps is an end for which he risks his own life every day, hiding his Jewish heritage while feigning loyalty the SS.

Neither Miranda nor Ben expects to find love in World War II Europe, but that is exactly what happens as they work for the Resistance. When the war draws to a close, it seems like the vampire and the doctor are free to start a future together. But just how far the Nazis will go to further their own evil ends?

Desperate times make for ruthless men as loves and lives are threatened, but, Miranda and Ben know that their world cannot go to hell, not by any means. . . .

Posted on by

 

We are going to be taking Keldane the Cursed on a blog tour!
Yes, Keldane will finally be getting out of his father’s laboratory and
Barnabas and his friends will be coming along. If you are a b
logger and would
like to do a book review for the tour, let us know and we will provide a review
copy. Jeffrey is available for intervi
ews. Some fun ideas would also be to
Keldane the Cursed interview Keldane, Kelimbor, Barnabas or one of his friends.

 

To join, just add your blog to the inlinkz link below. I
will contact you about which day you want to do your post. The hope is to have
Keldane visiting a different blog each day of the month, several blogs a day
would be exciting. Keldane hasn’t seen much outside of his father’s lab and the
Royal Academy of Magic, so this will be a fun experience.

 

*Warning* Keldane is prone to accidents, occasionally fatal.
Please insure your blog is fire proof, acid resistant and that all sharp
objects are securely stowed.

A Happy Bloody Valentines Day

Posted on by

Welcome and Happy Valentine’s Day from W.J. Howard, R.J. Robyn, Timothy C. Hobbs and Randall Stone. I’m combining our weekly news with our drawings and giveaways for the Bloody Hearts Blog Hop, so read very closely so you don’t miss any of the drawings.

Timothy C. Hobbs 3 Novel Box Set

First and biggest news is Blaze McRob and I have conducted an evil take over of The Dark Book Club on Dark Media City. MWAA MWAA MWAA… Okay, not so dramatic. More like we’re reviving it.

Anyways, Mr. Hobbs latest novel, Music Box Sonata is a featured read in March. You can win this novel by entering his drawing to the right for all 3 of his eBooks or on his drawing page on the Vamplit Blog. Winner drawn this Wednesday. If you’d like to enter this drawing, but don’t want to enter via Rafflecopter, leave a comment below, telling us you would like to enter Tim’s drawing.

There is also a drawing for the anthology selection for the book club, Satan’s Toybox: Demonic Dolls, which I have read and is a GREAT book with some fabulous authors. So make sure you drop by the Angelic Knight Press blog to enter.

Blog Hop Trivia Game

The Good the Bad and the Ugly of Valentine’s Day Trivia Game ran on the hops facebook page to kick off the hop. It returns Monday and Tuesday. Be on the lookout for questions then comment and increase your score. Highest score on February 15th wins choice of a $20 gift certificate for Smashwords OR Drive-Thru Fiction, donated by all of us here on Minor Insanity.

The Courier Drawing & Giveaway


a Rafflecopter giveaway

And on to another drawing for a 1 year subscription to The Courier. I’m playing with Rafflecopter on this, so you can enter by following us on Twitter or liking our Facebook page. You get 3 points for each entry, which I’m guessing gives you more chances to win? I guess I’ll see when I draw the winner, or I could go read the instructions. NAH…

Also, everyone who leaves a comment gets the first episode of The Courier, Bid for Obstruction. It’s redeemable until March 1st.

Other Bloody Hearts Blog Hop Stuff

Other than that, I’ve been so busy with the blog hop that I haven’t gotten anything else done. Next year we’re renaming it a horror hop because it has evolved in just the first year into more of a showcase of all things horror. I have met some really wonderful people that I really look forward to working with on other projects.

This Week’s #Horrorchat & #Fridayflash

We’re discussing Women in Horror this week for #Horrorchat and Little Shop of Oddities for #Fridayflash. Very sorry my #Fridayflash was missing this week. Blog hop kicked butt, but I do plan to release 2 parts this Friday. If you missed Tim’s story last week, it’s Transference and you can read it now.

Three weeks in…

…and I’m already late posting our weekly update. “Behind” is today’s word, boys and girls.

Novel News

Anyways, no new news on the release of The Courier. Cross your fingers for next week.

Am spending the rest of this week catching up on 4 short stories I’ve written for Friday Flash and Grand Scares, volume 2. I’ll have a couple out tomorrow and the other two by the end of the week, so stay tuned for some FREE fun fiction to read.

No Bloodlegger news this week, but I am attempting to bug R.J. about our progress as I’m writing this. Only we’re discussing his team, the Packer’s loss instead.

Networking News

I’m busily working on setting up the Bloody Heart’s Valentine’s Day Blog Hop, hosted by my publisher Vamplit Publishing. We have a facebook and Google+ page and everything. Yeah, that was meant to be sarcastic. What’s exciting is we’ll be working withe Dark Media City on this hop along with many other indie publishers, filmmakers, artists, etc. so there will be an amazing selection of horror to choose from on Valentine’s Day.

The biggest news in networking is I’m partnering with my dear friend Rebekah Welch, The Colorado Connector on a new project. Rebekah and I have worked together in the past, so getting this up and running should be a breeze. We are starting a division of her networking group for creative geniuses across the Denver metro area.

Nifty News

I heard somewhere that beagles are the most used dog in labs due to their incredible sniffers. Glad to see these guys will have a future filled with love and mischief, like our little Mabel who spent the first 7 years of her life in a cage barefoot and pregnant.

I’m seeing a lot of the same books over and over again, so I don’t have much to add here this week.  I also need to clean out my book review feed folder.  Too much paranormal romance and I’m slowly giving up on this genre.
