Banned from Heaven. Escaped from Hell. They are UnHallowed.
As the looming battle between the demon hordes and the UnHallowed intensifies, so does Amaya’s feelings for Bane. She wasn’t supposed to fall in love with an UnHallowed, but the attraction is undeniable…as is the danger. Good thing he keeps pushing her away, underestimating her at every turn, which fuels her resolve and strengthens her to do what she must—save the world.
The world be damned. For millennia, Bane’s one purpose was to reclaim his grace and his place in the Celestial Army. Then he met Amaya. Created for one purpose, she is the key to defeating their enemies, but the cost is too great if it places her life in danger. He will do whatever is necessary to protect her, because nothing else matters.
Time is closing in. The balance of power is shifting. Amaya and Bane can either unleash their spiraling passions and fortify their bond, or lead themselves and all the UnHallowed to utter destruction.
I wrote my first novel about a reporter and a hockey player after the U.S. hockey team won gold in the 1980 Olympics. I love writing flawed characters who reflect the emotional baggage we all carry. I write complicated stories for complicated people. Paranormal romances and fantasy novels are my favorite genre. I’ll read anything about fairies, demons, or angels, but I also enjoy Stephen King and Preston and Childs.
I’m hooked on Lucifer, The Backlist, The Strain, Vikings, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and BlindSpot. I can’t get enough of these shows!
I was born in St. Thomas USVI, but grew up in The Bronx, New York one mile from Yankee Stadium. I love SyFy, the History channels, and Asian cuisine. But my heart and stomach longs for anything from the Caribbean.

Santa's Curse by T. A. Moorman:
What if Santa was a vampire?
Jacquelyn, an enchantress with an
overprotective streak, thinks it's up to her to protect her older sister,
Jadine, an enchantress who's also a paranoid hypochondriac. So, whenever a male
comes along trying to use Jadine, Jackie gets rid of them, in a
non-conventional way. When the last person Jacquelyn expects, a certain vampire
she's had a not so little crush on, seems to be creeping around on her sister,
she has no choice but to get rid of him, too. In front of witnesses. Only to
find out one second too late that she had it all wrong.
Victor, like many males, has
issues expressing how he truly feels. When he finally decides it’s time to stop
running from fate and claim his mate, he goes to her sister for advice. But,
creeping in and out of Jadine’s place like a thief in the night leads the very
person he wants to win over to draw all the wrong conclusions. Which leads to
him trading in his pale good looks for a white beard and a red velvet suit.
Now that the town knows Jacquelyn
is the one behind all of the disappearances, and thinking she’s killed all of
those that are missing, they're out for her blood. And the only one who can
save her is, well, Santa. But will he be able to make it back to her before
it’s too late?
Enjoy a brand new tale of how
Santa Clause came to be.
It is the summer of 1933 and nearly two years since that fateful
Halloween night in Plains, New York.
Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, eighteen-year-old Cletus Blake
spends his days working to help his family through the massive economic
recession spreading throughout the United States and many other areas of the
world. As society struggles to accept that the economic surge of the 1920s are
long gone, Cletus also clings to the memory of his last phone conversation with
his cousin Dorothy. Having formed and maintained a relationship with two of her
close friends - the recently married Reginald and Gail Carr Johnson - the three
find solace in regular communication with one another.
Like Dorothy, Cletus possesses supernatural abilities inherited
through his bloodline. His vivid dreams and visions - including ones of a
beautiful young Romani woman and twin baby boys - continue to increase in
strength. Meanwhile, Reginald and Gail begin falling prey to dark adversaries
that have been lying in wait.
Evil surrounds at every turn, old friends race to help, and
ancient evil re-emerges. A war between worlds brews beneath the surface,
threatening to rip the protective seams that keep the portals sealed.
Then in the midst of it all, Cletus happens upon a caravan
traveling through his Ohio town. The very familiar Romanichal family's history
ties not only to his own past, but to all the kin of the four men that
experienced worlds outside of their own on that summer solstice in 1844. All
are linked to a future that will reunite the Blakes and the Livingstons, two
families that at one time, shared a very unlikely friendship.
Kindred is the second full-length novel in The Birthrite Series.
Picking up from where Descent and Sacred Atonement: A Novelette left off, the
story continues to challenge all that is known about light and dark, good and
evil. Passion, intrigue, and secrets abound as history unravels. Revelations
uncovered in previous installments are given new perspectives, taking the
reader on a thrilling ride into a world where nothing is ever what it appears
to be.
EXCERPT
from Kindred:
His eyes darted about and
breath hitched when he saw the property of the Fleming Orphanage surrounding him.
The summer breeze turned into a crisp, autumn chill as the song flowed with the
wind that carried it. Leaves fell from their branches, blanketing the ground, seeming
to undulate with the notes being played.
He was compelled toward the
woods, feeling Dorothy's presence and the grave danger she was in by being here.
Confused and disoriented, he looked around, calling out to her, but she was
nowhere in sight.
His voice was getting lost in
the wind stirring up as it carried DeBussy's song. The woods and empty buildings
of the former orphanage took on menacing shapes, as if they were alive and
mocking him. Every fiber of his being wrenched when he heard a distant howling
from somewhere in the woods. His breath grew rapid as his lungs took in the icy
air. The song to the moon faded and the sound of someone humming another
familiar tune took over.
All the
Pretty Little Horses...
Cletus tried moving in the
direction of the hill, knowing that it would take him away from the property,
but the wind increased in strength and invisible arms seemed to hold him back.
He heard the howling again, only this time, it was much closer, sounding unlike
any animal he knew of. A foul stench started crawling out from the buildings as
the windows radiated a deep red glow.
(Like blood...)
The glow pulsed, spreading
throughout the property as the stench of death and decomposition engulfed him.
His body stiffened upon hearing a bloodthirsty growl closing in behind him.
He tried to run, but his feet
were planted to the earth. He could sense it inching closer, crunching over the
cold, drying leaves. The creature's rancid breath assaulted his nostrils before
it let out a deafening roar. Then the creature pounced, pummeling the young man
forward…

FROM THE BEGINNING:
DESCENT
(THE BIRTHRITE SERIES, #1)
Visions of infant twin boys, clouds, a young woman taking
her own life, and a collision of space, time, and realms...
On the eve of Summer Solstice in 1844, four men in
different areas of the world share an experience that impacts not only their
own lives, but those of the future generations. The first man is Nicolae
Ganoush, a young Romany fugitive from a slave village in Wallachia. The second
is Jonathan Blake, an eighteen-year-old Irishman in the American Midwest who
finds himself falling in love with a young woman from a nearby Sioux village.
The third is James Livingston, a prominent figure in colonial America, and the
fourth is Hector de Fuentes, a sixteen-year-old from Tuxpan, Mexico with
special gifts and visions enhanced by a mysterious and wondrous cave. Each man
carries his own inner battle, unbelievable ancient truths deep within their
lineages, and demons that are much closer to home than any of them would like.
SACRED ATONEMENT: A NOVELLA (THE BIRTHRITE SERIES, #1.5)
"He wondered how she would react to seeing him. Not just
his physical appearance, but seeing him for the first time since what happened
between nearly a year ago. And what would happen once she found out what he
really was?"
MADE IN HEAVEN (A BIRTHRITE SERIES SHORT)
It has only been two and a half months since Reginald and Gail
returned from that fateful night, a strange set of circumstances, and world
they never thought could exist.
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR:
Tiffany Apan grew up among the thick forests of the Appalachian
Mountains in Northeastern Pennsylvania. It was there she began honing artistic
abilities and received much of her creative inspiration. A misfit among her
peers (she was the only one in her fifth grade writing class obsessed enough
with Vikings and Norwegian mythology to write poems about them), Tiffany was
highly active in the artistic community in Wilkes-Barre, PA, involving herself
in all music, theater, visual arts, and writing. Eventually, she settled quite
comfortably into a role as “that artsy kid in black” who sits in a coffee shop,
drinking endless amounts of coffee and tea while writing furiously in a journal
or sketchpad.
After graduating high school, she left the
Northeastern PA ghosts for the Southeastern PA zombies (Pittsburgh). Upon the
move, Tiffany became involved with the indie film scene, landing supporting
roles in a couple films. This also gave way to the release of her music with
partner in crime, Jason English. Since then, she has gone on to act in several
films and theater productions with starring and supporting roles, release music
to critical acclaim, and receive accolades for her writing and producing.
The Appalachian Mountains serve as a backdrop for many of
her stories, including The Cemetery by the Lake and The Birthrite Series. You can check out more of her work (writing,
music, film, etc) on her website, blog, Amazon, and other social media.
Indulge in a darkly decadent and sinfully sensual world. A world where vampires are real, rich and hungry, a world where Blood Courtesans satisfy all their needs. Come, let fangs slip into your throat and awaken you to a whole new life. A boxed set of BRAND NEW stories in this popular series.
Warning: This isn't your momma's vampire romance. It's not Twilight or the Shade, either. It's Blood Courtesans: Luxury, fast cars, adventure, whirlwind romance and cold, hard fangs.
"So you wanted to be a Blood Courtesan. You thought that would get you what you wanted?" He leaned down, looming over me. "Well, through your own stupidity, you're going to find out if that was a good plan or not."
"I am?" My voice came out in a breathy dog whistle squeak.
"I will take you as mine."
"You will?" This was a whisper, my vocal cords had drawn tight, strangled by fight-or-flight adrenaline.
"In every way." Pyro's eyes held a knowing gleam I didn't understand, and the baritone rumble of his voice throbbed with wickedness.
My body responded with a throb of its own, like a nearby tribe answering a signal. His voice, just his voice had slipped through my skin cells to the vulnerable flesh beneath. That was all it took for him to get to me.
Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.
My stomach hit an iceberg of fear and promptly sank. The things he could do to me, the things he would do to me...
"This way Theo cannot touch you and I am repaid for the trouble you have caused." He rested a finger on my cheek and slipped it down to my jaw and then lower, to the hollow of my neck. My pulse tapped out an SOS into his finger, but he didn't notice...or maybe he didn't care.
"Fortunately for you, I am between courtesans right now."
"That's me. So lucky," I half-sobbed. I wanted to be brave, but I had no way out and I knew it. Pyro's offer or death. Those were my choices. No in between.
"No tears, Violet. You brought this on yourself." He gripped my chin and his hard gaze drilled into mine. "But you're pretty. You have a nice blush. And if I'm any judge of women, you're innocent, yes?"
I didn't respond and he gave me a little shake. "Answer me. You're untouched, aren't you?"
"Yes." And when he bit me, he'd know why.
"A crazy little virgin in my bed." He let me go and stepped back, shaking his head. "I would have never thought to ask for someone like you, but now that you're here..." He trailed off.
Tagline: A sexy vampire. A little deceit. A love worth dying for. What more could you want from a vampire romance?
Book Description:
A man. A vampire. A love story....
One night changed everything for bachelor Justin Bertolli. A womanizer at heart, never quite ready to settle down, he meets the woman who would change his life forever. Ambra Taylor is that woman, but is she all that Justin bargained for? Told from a male protagonist point of view, A Mortal Indiscretion delivers wholly unique narratives that don’t succumb to the same old recycled concepts.
Everything unravels in Justin’s world. Although Ambra is a vampire, she is the vulnerable one of the two characters, providing a refreshing twist on standard tales. She is not waiting for her prince to come save her on his white horse. She simply desires love, to feel human love again and will do anything to protect the love of Justin.
When Justin discovers the truth about who and what she is, will he still love her? Will he still want her? Find out, as their hearts collide in this epic tale of love.
I allowed myself to be born. I allowed myself access into a life that wasn’t mine, and for that, I had willingly submitted my body and soul to a man whose sadistic pleasures knew no bound, a man who relished in my pain as much as he craved my flesh.
A monster I would do anything to escape.
But what if I could make it stop? What if the cost of freedom was a single night in a stranger’s arms? What if one final sin was all I needed to commit to find peace?
Kieran Kincaid
I had always known of the sickness that lived inside my father, the demons who controlled the man. His death was a blessing to every innocent he’d destroyed with his dark hunger.
Yet, despite his demise becoming my curse, a shackle trapping me in his twisted secrets, it lured me to it, too. It promised me the thing I coveted above all else. It seduced me deeper into the world I wish I knew nothing of, but there was no turning back, not even if by accepting, by taking what didn’t belong to me made me a monster like him.
Gabby would finally be mine.
