Authors on the Air host Pam Stack is excited to welcome urban fantasy author and graphic artist (book jacket designer) ELLE J, ROSSI to discuss her latest "Josie Hawk" book, EBONY TIDE.  Elle is the cover designer for "BETRAYED, the anthology published by the Authors on the Air Press.  She also contributed a delicious steamy short story.

The Official bio:  Elle was a full time singer she was able to lose herself in a thousand different songs in a hundred different places.  Overly fond of the happily ever after, she wondered what it would be like to have her own characters lead her down dark and twisted paths. The very first word on the very first page sealed her fate. Now along with weaving haunting tales about the journey to love, she's creating cover art for authors around the world.  For fun, she cranks country music to take her back to her roots, and sings karaoke anytime she gets a chance. 

About  EBONY TIDE:  Musicians aren't the only ones walking the streets of Nashville...       Huntress Josie Hawk has her hands full struggling to return her city to peace and safety, and no patience for her narrow-minded father, who has shown up with vows to kill her vampire lover.        Now a killer has come to town and the body count is rising. This latest enemy is breathing down her neck, taunting her, forcing her to remember the darkest time of her life.  The police-enforced curfew is sending the city into an uproar. Tensions among magical creatures are running high and growing bloodier by the day. Can Josie keep her city from imploding even when she doesn’t recognize her own reflection?     From the darkest depths of the underworld comes a paranormal thriller both sexy and compelling, and may leave Josie better off dead.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes  lawyer, newspaper columnist and best-selling author J.D.Rhoades to the studio.  We'll be discussing "Dusty" Rhoades new book FORTUNATE SON.  

About my guest: Bestselling author, attorney, award winning newspaper columnist--J.D. Rhoades is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but with a soft creamy center. He attended the University of North Carolina, where he majored in Spelling. A stint in UNC's creative writing program resulted in his not writing another word of fiction for 13 years, unless you count legal briefs. 

About the book:  Years ago, the Jakes brothers were found alone, hungry, and freezing, in a trailer where they’d been left by their mother. One found a happy home. The older son never did, but he always dreamed of the day when they would be together again.          Thirteen years later, big brother appears, and he’s determined to reunite the family, even if he has to do it by kidnapping his younger brother. The mother they haven’t seen in years is in New Orleans, and she’s in trouble. Her sons are coming to the rescue, even if one of them is doing it at gunpoint.

But things are rapidly spinning out of control in New Orleans. The Jakes boys, the disgraced former sheriff trying to chase them down, and an ambitious Louisiana deputy investigating the mother are in for far more danger than any of them bargained for. As they’re caught between two sides in a vicious drug war, everyone’s fighting to survive, no one knows who to trust, and it’s anyone’s guess who’ll be left standing at the end.

A story of loss and redemption, of love and betrayal, and above all of how far some will go to be part of a family, FORTUNATE SON will keep you up all night and leave you unable to forget it.

The point of view you choose for your crime fiction manuscript can make or break your story. How and why is this true?

Authors on the Air host pam Stack welcomes women's fiction and cozy mystery author Laura Bradford. 

About my guest:  As a child, Laura Bradford fell in love with writing over a stack of blank paper, a box of crayons, and a freshly sharpened number two pencil. From that moment forward, she never wanted to do or be anything else. Today, Laura is the national bestselling author of several mystery series, including the Amish Mysteries, the Emergency Dessert Squad Mysteries, the Jenkins & Burns Mysteries, and the Tobi Tobias Mystery Series.  Portrait of a Sister, is now available.

About the book:  Katie has always imagined her life being just like Mamm’s. It’s why she chose baptism and why she’ll soon marry Abram Zook. But ever since Hannah left, the only thing that truly makes Katie smile is the sketchpad in which she indulges her talent for drawing faces—a sin that, if discovered, could get her shunned by her family, her friends, and even Abram. Yet Katie sees her secret pastime as the only way to quiet a growing restlessness she’d just as soon ignore. That is until their Mamm’s untimely death brings Hannah back home to Pennsylvania, with a new outlook on life, a man she adores, and, soon, an invitation for Katie to visit her in New York City.          Suddenly, Katie is experiencing a freedom she’s never had, in a world she never imagined. She’s also spending time in the company of a fellow dreamer, someone who sees her as strong and brave and makes her laugh. But it’s when Hannah shows Katie’s drawings to a gallery owner that she truly finds herself at a crossroads between the only life she’s ever known and the powerful lure of an unfamiliar future.
