A town where legacies began centuries ago, bloodlines run deep, and dark secrets abound. A town where nobody is what you think, where truths pose as lies, and where myths blend with reality. A place where everyone has a story. This is only but one… Graysin Ravenal hasn’t seen her sister in years, but when she learns Jenni has mysteriously died in a library fire, she leaves her upscale beach community for the mountains of Colorado in search of answers. She needs a job, and Havenwood Falls happens to need an interior designer for the new library. The last thing she needs, though, is to fall for the dark and sexy Everett Weston, aka her new boss.  Their undeniable mutual attraction asid...

Through the window, I can see him put the blanket on the bed of the truck. He comes back around with the flashlight and leads me to the back, helping me up. I sit on the blanket and he hops up, lying down next to where I’m sitting. He sighs. “It’s funny that you asked me to bring you here.” “Why?” I ask, looking back at him. He is playing with the flashlight, now shinning it on my face and nearly blinding me. “Sorry,” he says as he puts the flashlight down on the back center of truck’s bed. “This is where I came when I ran away once.” “I’m not running away,” I say defensively. “I just needed to well—to get a way for a while.” “You can lie down,” he says. “I don’t bite.” I laugh at his comment. I lie down next to him and stare up at the stars; one of the few things that, centuries after centuries, remains unchanged. I feel his hand on mine and I close my eyes. “My first name is Sarah,” I say and I can feel a weigh...

As the story of Hunter and Kayla comes to an end in Forsaken, the final Academy of the Fallen novel, I find myself doing the same thing that readers often do... going through character withdrawals!  I already miss Hunter, Xavier, Ethan, and of course, my favorite stubborn character... Kayla. Forsaken was released on Kindle , Nook and Smashwords  a few days ago and paperbacks will be released on July 30th ( signed copies available for pre-order! ).  I'm loving the reviews that I got so far and I'm glad that readers are are enjoying the twists and getting closure as the series comes to the end.  As promised (and this wasn't easy)... no cliffhangers!  As much as I love cliffhangers, I would never end a series that way.  Of course, I can't promise anything with the other books. *evil grin* To celebrate the release of Forsaken, here is an awesome giveaway and thanks again to everyone who donated to the giveaway! I hope you enjoy the last book in the se...

Hi everyone! I have something fun for you today!  I'm getting ready to wrap up edits on Forsaken, the final Academy of the Fallen novel, which means that I'll be working on Fated (Mermaid's Curse 2) very soon!   So here is the contest... and the background story on this picture! Last month,  LipSmackin GoodBooks reviewed Insatiable - A Mermaid's Curse and dreamcast him as Blake.  The funny thing is that just a few days before, I added Blake getting a tattoo to the Fated outline, which made me love this picture even more. So here is the contest! Find or draw a picture of what you think would be the perfect tattoo for Blake.  To enter, you can post the picture at www.facebook.com/mermaidscurse , tweet @DaniLanzarotta, or email it to daniele.lanzarotta@gmail.com . Deadline is July 1, 2013. Winner will get to be Blake's tattoo artist in the book.  Yes, that character will be named after you (first name only). The tattoo should relat...

“I thought you said you had no one to go back to,” he said. I gave him a confused look. He pointed at my ring.   “Or is that who you are running from?” I didn’t know what to say.   I reached for the ring and took it off, putting it on the table.   “It doesn’t mean what you think it does.” “Okay.   Sorry.   Even if it did, that‘s not my business.” He turned toward the fireplace, and deciding that the food didn’t taste that bad, I ate another bite.   When he turned around, something about the way he looked at me took my breath away. “Look, I don’t know how to say this without sounding rude, but everything considered, I don’t think you should be left alone tonight.   You can take that couch.   I’ll take this one.   Is that okay with you?” Amazon US - Amazon UK - Nook - iBooks - RSP Launch Pad

Coming this Summer! :D Forsaken The Final Academy of the Fallen Novel

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that Insatiable - A Mermaid's Curse is already available on Kindle and Nook!  Here is a random sneak preview at Arianna's world. *** When I returned, my father was waiting for me and he wasn’t happy. “Were you watching the humans again?” he asked in a cold tone. I nodded. He shook his head and sat down.   “I worry about you, Arianna.   You have no friends.   And then there’s Bram.   He’s a good man and he has been asking you to be his for so long.” “Dad, I’m not a thing that should ‘belong’ to someone.” “That’s not what I meant, Arianna.” “Isn’t it though?   That’s how we live, Dad.   We belong to our parents until we get married and belong to someone else.   That’s not what I want.” “That’s called tradition, Arianna.   Watching the humans for as long as you have has put ideas into your head that should never be there.   You are not human and never will be...

As part of the Indie-Licious Blog Hop, I was asked to share a teaser from my WIP or from a published title.  It seems like A Mermaid's Curse has been getting all the love lately, so I decided to share a teaser from Sins of the Fallen instead.  Enjoy. :D  She laughed and whispered so that only I could hear her.  “Only if demons craved dignity.”  She shook her head.  “Fine, you want me to give her dagger back and let her go, I will.” I couldn’t see Samael, but I felt the relief in his voice.   “I thought you would.” He was wrong… so wrong… Well, technically, she did give me the dagger back and let me go.  She smiled one more time before driving the dagger into the side of my stomach and letting me go.  I fell to the floor.  There was so much pain… too much pain!   ©2012 Daniele Lanzarotta.  Sins of the Fallen is available at www.danielelanzarotta.com , Amazon , Kindle , Nook , and iBooks
