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

It's time for a blog hop!  This one includes a Q&A that reveals a couple of things about my upcoming book, Sins of the Fallen, which will be available on December 11, 2012.  After the Q&A you'll find the link for other authors blogs where you can read about their  current release or upcoming book.  These are all authors who I personally selected for this blog hop.  :)  Before answering the Q&A about Sins of the Fallen, I wanted to thank paranormal romance author Tish Thawer for inviting me to this blog hop. What is the working title of your book? Sins of the Fallen Where did the idea come from for the book? Sins of the Fallen is the third Academy of the Fallen novel.  The idea for the series was inspired by a character from Imprinted Souls who is a vampire/fallen angel hybrid.  I got more and more curious about the part of her that was fallen angel.  I also wanted to create a new world, something ...

Hi everyone!  Here is the synopsis for Sins of the Fallen, the third Academy of the Fallen novel! :)  The release date and cover will be revealed very soon!  This is my first synopsis written from a character's POV and I'm happy to share that several chapters in Sins of the Fallen are also from this character's POV.   So, here is... Hunter!  Happy Reading! ***Spoiler alert for those who have not yet read Nephilim*** Hunter I knew how much Kayla had changed over the past few weeks, but it was nothing compared to what I had seen in her from the moment we stepped into this place. The Kayla from before she learned about this world, was gone.  She was already attached to some of their kind and I could see that she felt as if it was her responsibility to protect them all, the haunted and the fallen.  She was starting to put them before her in every decision she made.  It started sometime before we left the Academy that her fathe...

Hi everyone! This past weekend (April 20-22), I had the opportunity to attend the Blood on the Beach Convention in Virginia Beach, along with authors Michelle Johnson, Rue Elliott, and John Koehler. This convention turned out to be one of the best events I've attended so far.  The costumes were great!  It was fun chatting with new people, and of course that seeing Norman Reedus and Jeremy London was pretty awesome! Here are the highlights of the weekend: I was excited about this event from the moment I heard the words 'Lost Boys cast'.  It was fun seeing Edward Herrmann and other cast members.  It also made me think of Corey Haim.  I loved him in all of his movies!  It's still sad to think about what happened to him... Then I saw Norman Reedus, (best known for his roles in 'The Boondock Saints' and 'The Walking Dead') and I couldn't help but to dream cast a bit.  He would be absolutely perfect to play Harvey, my Irish vampire who yo...

A Special Halloween Treat! Nephilim (Academy of the Fallen 2) - Chapter 1 Sneak Preview! Hunter Chapter 1 It had been over 24 hours since I was dragged away from the Academy’s clinic, away from Kayla, who was still unconscious when I left. They gave me two options: I would either have to accept that I was not allowed to see Kayla, or I would be on lock-down until further notice. I chose option three. I did go to my room, pretended like I was going to stay away… the next day, when everyone seemed to be going about their own business, I ran to the gates of the Academy, where I could summon Chase. Chase is a ghost, trapped on earth, but he knows a lot about the Otherworld, which was where Kayla had been trapped… for far too long. None of us at the Academy should ever be exposed to the Otherworld, the place where ghosts and demons wander around for most of their existence, but for Kayla, that was especially dangerous. Kayla, is one of their children, the o...

Kayla is a 16-year-old girl who was adopted when she was little. She lives a normal life, with great friends, loving adoptive parents, and well... a not-so-great boyfriend. But the reason why she was given up for adoption was far from any usual reason. She was meant to be kept away from the Academy and anything else related to the supernatural beings that could hurt her. Unfortunately for Kayla, it was only a matter of time before she encountered the creatures from the Otherworld, and there is just no running away from the beings that she can now see. In trying to protect Kayla by keeping her away from the Academy, she may have just been put in even more danger. Academy of the Fallen on Facebook Tweet
