Yesterday, I ran into this website called Blingee.com .  I don't even remember how I got there, but once I did, I couldn't leave. If you are not familiar with the website, you can use it to combine images (uploaded by you or from the website itself) and add quotes & other things to them.  Once you find your way around the website, it is pretty easy and they also have videos showing how to 'make a blingee'. I had so much fun with the website that I decided to make a contest out of it! Make a Blingee inspired by any of my book series:  Mermaid's Curse, Imprinted Souls, or Academy of the Fallen and you will be entered to win a signed copy of any of my books (paperback - winner's choice). Blingees must be shared on any of my Facebook pages or Twitter (@ DaniLanzarotta ) to make sure I see it. I will be accepting entries until April 15th. Have fun! :)

Insatiable - A Mermaid's Curse Chapter One Sneak Preview He’s smiling down at me and all I can do is look away.    Happiness seems to be such a rare emotion for him, it always has, and I know it’s only a matter of time until I become the one responsible for that smile turning into something dark. He places his finger under my chin, lifting my head up.    “Well, do you regret it?” he asks. I want to tell him the truth, that I don’t regret it, that I’d rather have had one day with him than none at all, but the words don’t come out at first.    I take a deep breath and I know that I have to lie.    I have to push him as far away from me as I can, because I have no other option.    So I focus on the part that I do regret.    I focus on the fact that when offered my dreams to be made true, consequences didn’t even cross my mind.    Not just consequences to myself, but I also never once stopped to think abou...

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...

I'm honored to be a part of Caitlin Hensley's blog tour.  You know how much I love character development and just meeting new characters in general, so I asked Caitlin if I could interview one of her characters.   Meet Haily! Haily Long is the main character from Paranormal Legacy, the first book of The Inhuman Chronicles. She enjoys drinking coffee, reading, using sarcasm, and stalking the new neighbors. Her author is Caitlin Hensley, who lives in rural Oklahoma and has great fun typing out Haily’s adventures. For more information on Haily and Caitlin, check out Caitlin’s  blog ,  Facebook page ,  Goodreads account , or  Amazon author page Hi Haily. Welcome to the blog, and thanks for agreeing to do this interview. My author made me, so I didn’t really have a choice. But thanks. What’s your favorite thing to do? I like to read, which is why I have millions of books littering my bedroom. Well, okay, that number’s a little ...

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

Arianna always felt like she didn’t belong in the world where she was born.   Ever since she was little, she used to hide behind the rocks in the sea, and watch the human family who spent their summers on that island.   Over the years, there was nothing she wished more than to be like them, especially so she could get close to Blake, the human boy who she saw turn into a troubled teenager and then, an unhappy man. Once her dad grew tired of her dreams and hopes for a reality that is not her own, Arianna is thrown into an arranged marriage, and her only way out of it is to make a deal with the power-hungry man who will give her everything that she has ever dreamed of.   Dreams that turn into nightmares as she watches Blake’s world fall apart, because of her and Blake’s inability to control their desires for one another.  Coming this April! www.danielelanzarotta.com
