De La Cruz Saga by P.T. Macias

Thank you for the invite. It’s a pleasure to be visiting you and sharing my De La Cruz Saga. The De La Cruz Saga is an amazing emotional roller coaster ride of romance, suspense, and intense passion. Its steamy material is a little erotic. The stories are well written, full of Mexican traditions, and culture. Enjoy their explosively passionate nature. The saga is a twelve book series. I have five out and four more should be out by the end of August 2013.

De La Cruz Saga contains Spanish. Saga has a subtle influence of Spanish and the Spanish becomes more laced (as the story progresses). I write in the present tense because I believe it puts the reader "IN" the action, rather than as part of an "after thought". I believe it brings the characters to life! My writing is not traditional literature. It does not have the fluff (excessive description, stage, settings, prose). My intent is to have the reader visualize and feel the characters story. This is my voice, my style. Dare to read the awesome De La Cruz Saga that’s full of passion and suspense.  
Hot & Spicy, De La Cruz Saga by P.T. Macias

  Hot & Spicy Reviews.
P.T Macias has created a sizzling saga of romance, hot intimacy and suspense with the De La Cruz family. I like that you get to read the characters thoughts in italics so you get both perspectives and reactions to all the goings on between the sheets and outside of them!      http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/531877897

Hot & Enchanting, De La Cruz Saga (Amazon review)
I have not had the pleasure of reading the other books in this saga. I can tell you that it was a very captivating story line and you never knew for sure what would happen next. The traditions and beliefs of the family were well written into the story and was glad to see they were included. I do recommend that you read the entire saga to get a good firm grasp on the entire story line. I believe you will be thrilled to see where this takes you. It is a "Hot" read so I do suggest that you read it away from the little ones.
Thank you Patricia for the awesome story!!

Cover Reveal by M. Clarke aka Mary Ting...me :) 


Something Great is my debut New Adult Romance, pub July 24, 2013

 * This is a New Adult romance novel recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual content and mature subject matter. *

She didn’t know what she was missing…until he found her.

Maxwell Knight was positively trouble, dangerously good-looking, and seductively charming. He was everything Jenna didn’t need in her life. Only Max didn’t see it that way. His pursuit was relentless, making Jenna even more determined to push him away. All she wanted was security, a career, and love that was everlasting.

Fresh out of college, life was simple and plain for Jeanella Mefferd, but she liked it that way. Every part of her life was smooth sailing; her friends, her job, and even the guy she’d started dating. Then one night, while at dinner with her best friend, she spotted someone who made her feel things she’d never felt before just by his mere presence—dangerous, heart pounding, breathless heat. Thinking she would never see him again, she brushed it off, but when she started to run into him unexpectedly, all she could think of was how he made her feel with his sweet flirtations. Everything about Maxwell Knight screamed trouble, especially when she found out he was her new boss’s son. Now, heading to a New York fashion show she’d dreamt about since she was a child, would she be able to focus on her career instead of Max, who had been scheduled to attend with her? As much as she tried to forget their encounters, his good looks, charm, smooth words, and determination to win her over gravitated her toward him. The next thing she knew, he was utterly consuming her, mind and body, and in places she’d never thought possible. Would she be willing to step over the boundary and risk her safety net? Was she willing to take advice from her best friend and love hard and risk getting hurther than really love at all and possibly miss out on finding something great?

Welcome Author Shelly Crane




Expected Publication Summer, 2013

Blurb:
Jude has spent the whole twenty one years of his life running. From what, he wasn't quite sure. His mother tried to keep him safe; a low profile, a constant move on the horizon, a week's pay always stashed away. She tried to instill in him that he was special somehow, though would never elaborate. He never felt different. He was so completely normal and vanilla that he wondered if it had all been in her head. But then she was murdered and all he saw was a running silhouette of a man as his mother said three final words to him. Three words that changed his whole being.
          Never stop running…
          Now he's semi-settled into a big town. The college is huge and easy to blend into. It's been three months since he had to move because 'Biloxi', as he calls the man who killed his mother, found him once more.
          Then Marley, an eighteen year old girl who is as infuriating as she is blissfully ignorant of her gorgeousness, smashes into his car with hers. Then smashes into his life as he realizes that whatever it is he has that Biloxi wants, she has it, too. And now, they're after them both.

Excerpt:

        And now, as I stared out into the dark rain to see a POS car sideways in the road, I knew the world hated me, had to, because someone had just smashed her car into my truck.

         I got out and braced myself. It wasn't easy to pay cash for new cars every time I needed to skip town. It was hard living when you couldn't be who you really were. Finding people to pay you under the table was almost impossible these days.

         I groaned and glared at the beauty standing at the end of my truck. "Look at that!"

         "I'm so sorry," she began. I could tell she really was, but I was beyond pissed. "I'll call my insurance company right now."

         That stopped me. "No!" I shouted and she jolted at the verbal assault. "No insurance."

         "Well," she pondered, "what do you mean? I have good insurance."

         "But I don't."

         She turned her head a bit in thought and then her mouth fell open as she realized what I was saying. "You don’t have any insurance, do you?"

         "No," I answered. "Look. Whatever, we'll just call this even-steven, because you did hit me."

         "Even-steven my butt!" she yelled and scurried to jump in front of me, blocking my way.

         "And what a cute butt it is."

         Even through the noise of water hitting metal, I heard her intake of breath. The rain pelted us in the dark. I hoped no one came around the corner. It would be hard for them to see us here in the middle of the road. She might get hurt. Then I wondered why I cared.

         "Look, buddy," she replied and crossed her arms. It drew my eyes to her shirt. My eyes bulged 'cause that shirt…well, it was see-through now. She caught on and jerked her crossed arms higher. "How dare you! You're on a roll in the jerkface department, you know that!"

         "My specialty," I said and saluted as I climbed in my truck. "Get your pretty butt in your car and let's pretend this never happened, shall we?"

         Because if cops and insurance were brought into this, I'd be on the run sooner than I thought.

         She huffed. "Excuse me-"

         "Darling. Car. Now." She glared. "Like right now."

         She threw her hands up in the air and yelled, "I knew chivalry was dead!" before climbing in her car and driving away. She didn't know it, but I was being as chivalrous as they come. I made sure she got out of the rain and back into her car, even though she didn't like the way I did it, and I got her as far away from me as I could.

         In my book, I deserved a freaking medal for being so chivalrous. Because people that stuck with me didn't live long.

         Just ask my mom.

         Oh, wait, you can't. She died long, long years ago saving my life. I refused to bring anyone onto this sinking ship with me. If it finally did go down, I was going down alone.

Joann H. Buchanan
I love to laugh and spend time with my family and friends. My dream is to make a living being a novelist. I can't wait to see what the days ahead have to offer. I feel like I have been blessed in many ways, however winning the lotto isn't one of them...
I'm always searching for ways to bring more balance with my life, and to be honest I probably rarely succeed, because it is all so chaotic. I love my life though because it is full of laughter and fun. I will keep searching for the unexpected everyday things that make my life worth living...
I'm a writer...I'm sure there are tons of those out there. What better thing to do in life than to create something for nothing. I live by a few mottos, Make it work is one of them. I was saying that looong before Tim Gunn made it famous. The other thing I live by is, "Above all else, entertain." That's what an author does. If I haven't entertained you, then I haven't done my job. 
The love of the written word is like a drug. A single thought can turn into miles across the ocean or a night in bed with someone you love. They are the very essence of my soul; I breathe them in everyday just to live. My heroes aren't the people who are rich and famous. They are the ones who aren't afraid to tattoo my heart with the words they write. The shadows between the pages are the undiscovered worlds and minds of the person who writes them.
