Books To Look Out For
Razor Girl (SHOMI) by Marianne Mancusi
THE WORLD HAS ENDED, MOLLY.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW?
Molly Anderson is not your average twenty-one-year-old. It's been six years since she and her family escaped into a bunker, led by her conspiracy theorist father and his foreknowledge of a plot to bring about the apocalypse. But her father's precautions didn't stop there. Molly is now built to survive.
Yes, Ian Anderson's favorite book gave him ideas on how to "improve" his daughter. Molly is faster, stronger, and her ocular implants and razor-tipped nails set her apart. Apart, when--venturing alone out of the bunker and into a plague ravaged, monster-ridden wilderness--what Molly needs most is togetherness. Chase Griffin, a friend from her past, is her best bet. But while he and others have miraculously survived, the kind boy has become a tormented man. Together, these remnants of humanity must struggle toward trusting each other and journey to the one place Molly's father believed all civilization would be reborn: The Magic Kingdom, where everyone knows it's a small world after all.

Hostage to Pleasure (Psy-Changelings, Book 5)
by Nalini Singh
Now, as the deadly Psy Council tightens its grip, a rebel Psy scientist finds herself at the mercy of a changeling who has sworn vengeance against her kind...
Separated from her son and forced to create a neural implant that will mean the effective enslavement of her psychically gifted race, Ashaya Aleine is the perfect Psy--cool, calm, emotionless...at least on the surface. Inside, she's fighting a desperate battle to save her son and escape the vicious cold of the PsyNet. Yet when escape comes, it leads not to safety, but to the lethal danger of a sniper's embrace.
DarkRiver sniper Dorian Christensen lost his sister to a Psy killer. Though he lacks the changeling ability to shift into animal form, his leopard lives within. And that leopard's rage at the brutal loss is a clawing darkness that hungers for vengeance. Falling for a Psy has never been on Dorian's agenda. But charged with protecting Ashaya and her son, he discovers that passion has a way of changing the rules...

Fantastic Fives on Jennifer Estep
Five words and/or phrases that describe you:
Sassy
Sarcastic
Southern
Determined
Creative
Five people and or things that inspire you:
The four seasons, but especially fall and all the lovely colors and smells. It’s my favorite time of year!
Other books/movies/television shows, etc. Anytime I read or watch something, I think about the story and characters, what I liked or didn’t about them, and what I might have done differently. It’s a great, fun way to get your own creative juices flowing.
My mom. She’s the strongest person I know. I love making her laugh, and I try to bring that humor to my books to make other folks laugh too.
Food. I’m addicted to the Food Network, and I love writing about food. I always try to make it a small but delicious part of anything I write.
The outdoors/weather. There’s nothing I love better than a gray, rainy day or overlooking a scenic vista. I always try to take pictures of every new place I go to provide inspiration for future books/settings.
Five of your favorite authors:
David Eddings
Ian Fleming
Robin McKinley
J. R. R. Tolkien
Donald Westlake
Describe five of your heroes/heroines through your eyes:
Bella Bulluci: She’s the star of my September release, Jinx. Bella’s a fashion designer by day, although she dreams of being a more traditional artist. She’s very quiet and restrained and elegant, but she can also be incredibly strong when the situation calls for it.
Debonair: He’s Bella’s hero. He has something of a split personality and can be very sexy one minute and very shy the next. He’s the ultimate nice guy wrapped up in a bad-boy package.
Gin Blanco: She’s the heroine of a new urban fantasy series I’m working on. The first book is titled Gin on the Rocks. Gin’s an assassin who runs a barbecue restaurant called the Pork Pit. She’s one tough cookie. She’s probably the strongest character (both physically and emotionally) that I’ve ever written. It took me a long time to get her voice just right, but now, she’s one of my favorite characters.
Carmen Cole: Carmen was the star of my first book, Karma Girl, and she’ll always hold a special place in my heart. She’s always plucky and determined no matter the odds against her. She makes mistakes, but she always owns up to them and tries to do better.
Fiona Fine: Fiona was the star of my second book, Hot Mama. Fiona is bold and daring and full of life. She was a lot of fun to write, especially since she can eat whatever she want and wears such interesting clothes!
Five reasons to read your books:
They’re fun, sexy fantasies.
No wimpy heroines are allowed.
Having superpowers would be cool.
The male superheroes fill out their leather and spandex costumes very nicely. :grin:
They’re a lighthearted escape from the everyday world.

Jinx by Jennifer Estep
Jinx
by Jennifer Estep (Sept. 2, 2008)
She never wanted to be a superhero. Too much danger. Too much spandex …
Bella Bulluci’s big passion is the arts. Her big pain is being born into a family of superheroes. Of course, Bella might feel differently if her own superpower was one she could control – or at least get some use out of. Instead, her power is one of capricious luck – supercharged telekinesis. In other words, static electricity. Bella knows that’s not a power – just a jinx.
During a gala fundraiser for the local art museum, Bella comes upon two things no Bigtime supergirl should be without: an ubervillain of her very own who plans to steal a priceless gem; and a dashing – if slightly shady – stranger named Debonair. He may have a reputation as a notorious playboy, but the real sparks are going to come from Bella, who’s finally going to learn just how well love and danger can go together …
