DEMON CROSSINGS
Twilight of the Gods, Book 1
Private investigator Grace
tracks a kidnapped child to middle-of-nowhere Iowa. Encountering a strange
creature she knows can’t be a local animal, she doesn’t need her psychic
abilities to figure out the sleepy town is not what it seems. When she meets the
intriguing Aiden, she’s plunged into a world of Norse gods and fire demons where
the Wild Hunt still rides the night.
Aiden needs Grace’s help to
cross the portal between worlds and rescue his daughter. Grace is unlike any
woman he’s ever met. He’s drawn to her courage, distressed by her vulnerability
and doubtful of her motives. But he knows that her visions are the key to
defeating the enemy and bringing everyone home alive.
Grace wants a future with Aiden,
even if it means she’ll never have a normal life. When a test run to the portal
takes a terrifying turn, they must learn to finally trust each other or Aiden’s
daughter, and their chance at love, will be lost forever…

Raquel Lindgren knows what
her future holds. An arranged marriage. A new home in Ragnarok, Iowa, with another clan of refugees
from Asgard. She should be happy.
But there's a mental block preventing her from tapping in to her true abilities
as a witch. And she's more attracted to the best man than she is to the
groom…
Fen can't believe he's falling
for his best friend's future wife. As a hound, a wolf shifter, his duty lies
with the pack. He's seen too many hounds destroyed by love, and he's sworn never
to take a mate, never to have children of his own. He can't deny his desire for
Raquel, but she deserves more than he can offer her.
Raquel's been raised to
trust in magic, her clan and her destiny. But when a vengeful demon threatens to
break out of Asgardand destroy the
clan, Raquel learns she must trust in love if she is to take the future into her
own hands.

******** INTERVIEW ********
United By Books is pleased to have ELERI STONE on the
blog today so we can learn more about her amazing
books........
1
~ Can you please share with us a little about
yourself?
Sure! I grew
up in New Jersey and left to attend college in Iowa. I didn’t expect it to be a
one way trip but I married my college sweetheart and three children later,
we’re still here. I
love the Midwest but
someday I’d like to move
back to
the east coast to be closer to my family and the beach. I’m addicted to Game Of Thrones, The Walking
Dead (Daryl!), Dr. Who and Sherlock (BBC version). I drink too much coffee and I
like to experiment with making healthy versions of unhealthy recipes. It doesn’t
always work out well. One of my daughter’s friends is afraid to eat at our house
after a bad flan experience.
2 ~ Please tell us a
little about your newest release ?
Witch Bound is about a clan of Norse demigods living in middle America.
The premise is that Ragnarök, the Norse apocalypse, happened centuries ago.
The Æsir who survived fled Asgardand now their descendants keep the demons that destroyed
their world from invading earth. In Witch
Bound, the new clan witch,
Raquel, comes to town to fulfill the contract on her arranged marriage to one of
the huntsmen, Christian. Raquel expects that transition to be
difficult. What she
doesn’t expect is
the vengeful demon set on
destroying her new clan, a cranky old witch worried about losing her position, and a
virgin shapeshifter named Fen who is absolutely the last man she should be falling for.
3~ Would
you like to share an excerpt with us today?
I
would love to! This is Raquel and Fen getting to know each other:
She
dropped onto the couch and started to prop her feet on the table before jerking
them back. She flushed. It was too easy to forget herself around Fen. Her
manners flew right out the window. He hooked his hand under her knee before her
foot hit the ground and pulled it back up. “What’s the point in keeping
thirty-year-old furniture around if you can’t abuse
it?”
“Are the gardening books your
mom’s?”
“I don’t look like a gardener to
you?”
His grin invited honesty. “You look nothing
like a gardener.”
He looked like trouble. His tattoo peeked from
beneath the sleeve an old T-shirt. He was still wearing shit-kicker boots and
the worn-out jeans that suited him perfectly. He had the kind of body jeans were
created for. Narrow hips and long, straight legs. He looked like a loner and an
artist. He looked dangerous—and not to cabbage worms and squash
bugs.
“It gets me outside, you know, when I’m not
killing things.” He took a long pull from his bottle, but kept his eye on
her.
“So you’re a nerd.”
He choked on his swallow. “You think I’m a
nerd?”
“Afraid so.” She ticked off her fingers. “You
live in your parent’s house.”
“I bought my parent’s house,” he corrected.
“The housing market’s not the greatest here, you
know.”
She held up a second finger. “You have enough
computer equipment in here that I bet you’ll have to upgrade the electrical
system soon...if you haven’t already.”
“Last year, before I moved in. It’s why I
haven’t had the extra money to decorate.”
“You enjoy reading and gardening.” She paused.
“Do you have a cat?”
He winced. “She’s a stray. Scared to death of
me, but she keeps coming back for the food.”
“I’d be surprised if you could coax a cat into
living with a hound.”
“Smart creatures, cats. So what’s the
verdict?”
She wiggled her fingers and dropped her hand.
She hadn’t made a five count, but she thought she’d made her point anyway.
“Nerd. Even if you don’t look like one.”
“And what does a nerd look like
exactly?”
Not sweet and sexy and
dangerous.
“Different from you,” she said after a
too-long pause, feeling suddenly that it wasn’t the best idea for her to have
come here alone.
4~ What's in store
next for your readers?
Right now, I’m working on a brand new historical paranormal romance series. The first
book, Reaper’s Touch, is due to release Feb 3 and the second book just a few months later. It’s set in a sort of post-apocalyptic
version of the Wild West. I’ve been calling it my cowboys vs zombies story.
5~ What's the weirdest
thing you've ever done in the name of research?
I can’t really think of anything too
strange actually. I need
to be more creative in my research!
6~ What are some of
your favorite kinds of stories to read?
I read in a
lot of different genres—romance of all kinds, but also fantasy and horror.
My favorite stories
always have some supernatural aspect to them.
7~ What is something people would be surprised to know about
you?
I’m from a really big family. I’m the oldest of five and each of my
parents had seven
siblings. As of last
count, I had 31 first cousins.
8~ Do
you sing and dance around the house while picking up?
Yes!
9~ Describe yourself in three words?
Geek. Loyal.
Friendly.
10~ What is the most embarrassing thing you got caught
doing?
I once walked into a wall trying to discreetly check out a
guy I liked. (In
the interest of full disclosure, that’s not actually the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever been caught doing but
it’s the most embarrassing thing I’m willing to share right
now.)
11~ How did you
celebrate the sale of your first book?
After I stopped jumping up and down? I think it went something like wine, dinner, panic
attack.
12~ What are the
scenes that are the hardest for you to write?
The transition scenes. They’re important but I always kind of
want to fast forward to
the conflict.
The transition
13~ Is there anything
special you would like to say to your readers while we have you here
today?
Thank you! Thank you for taking the time to stop by today and thank you for reading!
