Five years after losing her parents in the 9/11 terrorist act that toppled the Twin Towers in New York City, Caitlin realizes she needs to take control of her life again and start fresh. Even if it means giving up the most eligible bachelor in the City.

Trips to Montreal as a young girl with her parents had taken her through the quaint, quiet little village of Rouses Point. Perched on the northernmost shores of Lake Champlain in New York state, the old Clabo Victorian home had been vacant even back then.

And now, here she stands in the middle of the foyer of her new home, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Will her life be as sweet as she foresees? Or will the other occupants in her house throw a wrench in her plans?

Do you believe in Santa Claus?

Neither does Jenna Peterson, but naughty girl she is, she set out to prove it to the world. It started with a dare but then she couldn’t resist the handsome man beneath the beard and had to give him a little something to remember her by.

When Scott signed up to be the mall Santa Claus, he never dreamed that two naughty girls would be sitting on his lap or that one would capture his heart and then just walk away. Could he convince her that this was more than physical attraction and to trust her heart? Or was she determined to stay on Santa’s naughty list?

A Great Review for THE VEIL!



Euro Reviews says:

"H. A. Fowler has written a terrifically exciting and intriguing supernatural tale which grabbed this reviewer by the throat from sentence one and never let go! Devon and Helene are characters the reader warms up to immediately; and the fast-paced mystery wouldn’t let me stop until the end. I am definitely now a convinced fan of H. A. Fowler and intend to read anything this very special and talented author produces! Reader, reach for The Veil at your very earliest opportunity, and schedule a block of time to read it, for once you commence, you will not be able to close the book!"

A new novella from one of my favorite Romance Divas!

What Lies In Winter
by Cassidy Kent
ISBN-10: 1-59279-628-1 (Electronic)
ISBN-13: 978-1-59279-628-1 (Electronic)

When workaholic Hayley goes on a much-needed holiday to her favorite cabin hideaway tucked deep in the mountains of the Mammoth ski resort, she doesn’t expect to meet the beast of a man occupying her rental.

Bestselling mystery author, Nicholas Rhiordan, happens to have the same plan in mind, vacationing in his luxury cabin. He wants nothing better than to be left alone to finish his next novel, but when Hayley makes a surprise appearance, he discovers she’s hell-bent on disrupting his peaceful balance. Like any feral beast, his only recourse is to throw her out on her ass in a heap of snow and hope that she gets the hint.

When a relentless blizzard forces them to share the same quarters, their fiery personalities and equally combustible attraction could melt the ice caps off the snowy mountains. Once the storm blows over, will their connection fizzle like a snow flurry or will they pen a perfect ending?

Genres: Contemporary / Voyeurism / Interracial

A Great Review!


It pays to Google yourself.

Heh.

Here's a review I found of SWORD OF REGRET!

"Sword of Regret, part of Freya's Bower's BITES line, is an amazing accomplishment in surgical, focused, well controlled writing. Both short stories work together, but more importantly, they succeed as individual tales without leaving readers befuddled or dissatisfied. Wonderfully done by Ms. Fowler, this pairing has Romance News hungry for more vampy bites from this author."

Read the full review!

If you haven't checked out SWORD OF REGRET yet, don't miss it! :)

For more vampy fun, there's POSITIVE ENCOUNTER (short erotic story in the VAMPROTICA '06 anthology) and my novel, THE VEIL!

The barrier between Earth and Hell is about to fall...

THE VEIL

by H.A. Fowler
ISBN 978-1-60088-060-5
Futuristic/Dark Fantasy Romance
Cobblestone Press/October 27, 2006




Five hundred years ago, a terrorist group launched a fearsome anti-matter weapon and tore open the fabric of reality, revealing a world of nightmares on the other side. After decades of war, death and destruction, a union of wizards and witches came forth with the magick to build a barrier and keep the monsters in their rightful home.
They called it THE VEIL.

Detective Devon Harrigan is a hard-nosed skeptic, no fan of magick or its users -- an ironic stance for a vampire who was human when the Veil first fell. But he is a cop first, so when a serial killer stalks his home city of New Denver, Colorado, he'll do what he has to do to stop the carnage. Including play babysitter to the killer's sole living witness, a pampered high priestess of the most powerful witches' organization in the world, the creators of the Veil itself.

High Priestess Lady Helene Du Solaire has lived a sheltered life, and she has never met anyone as anachronistic -- or as fascinating -- as her new bodyguard. There is no denying the immediate attraction between them, or that giving into it could lead to devastating consequences. Not to mention it's a distraction from the matter at hand they can scarcely afford -- that Helene is the killer's target because she is the key to a ritual that, in only a few days time, will destroy the Veil and unleash Hell on Earth once again.

Helene and Devon must race against time and resist their growing feelings, put aside prejudices and painful pasts, and discover the identity of the being that threatens both Helene's life and the fate of the world.

Paranormal Erotica
Lady Aibell Press/October 31, 2006



Winnie Mulligan is a stereotypical librarian: quiet, shy, dedicated to her work. She never colors beyond the lines or thinks outside the box. Until one day, she overhears a woman talking about the hottest new high taking the city by storm: encounter donation. That is, paying money to be bitten by a hot vampire in a sanitized, controlled environment. The idea hits Winnie like it's the one thing she's been waiting her whole life for, and it's guaranteed safe to boot!

But when she pays her membership fee and meets sexy vampire Briggs Aubrey, safety is the last thing on her mind... and the last thing she's going to get.
