Rebecca Hamilton

Rebecca Hamilton is the author of The Forever Girl and Her Sweetest Downfall. They are both new adult paranormal romances. She blogs at Becca Hamilton Books and will host authors there during the fair.

Here are the blurbs for her books:

The Forever Girl:

 "Whatever you do, fight."

Sophia's family has skeletons, but they aren't in their graves.

At twenty-two, practicing Wiccan Sophia Parsons is scratching out a living waiting tables in her Rocky Mountain hometown, a pariah after a string of unsolved murders with only one thing in common: her.

Sophia can imagine lots of ways to improve her life, but she'd settle for just getting rid of the buzzing noise in her head. When the spell she casts goes wrong, the static turns into voices. Her personal demons get company, and the newcomers are dangerous.

One of them is a man named Charles, who Sophia falls for despite her better judgment. He has connections that might help her unveil the mystery surrounding her ancestor's hanging, but she gets more than she bargains for when she finally decides to trust him.

Survival in his world, she learns, means not asking questions and staying out of the immortal council's way. It's a line she crossed long ago. If Sophia wants to survive the council and save the people she loves, she must accept who she is, perform dark magic, and fight to the death for her freedom.


The Forever Girl is a full-length Paranormal Fantasy novel that will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, witches, vampire fiction, ghost stories, paranormal mystery, and paranormal horror.

Her Sweetest Downfall:

*Her Sweetest Downfall is a short story/novella of 30,000 words. This is not a novel/full-length read, but works as a companion novel to THE FOREVER GIRL, Rebecca Hamilton's bestselling paranormal fantasy debut.*

Ophelia's been successful at hiding her true identity, until the mark of the serpent appears on her neck—a death sentence, should it be seen by anyone in her town. Hiding the mark might save her from falling victim to the witch hunts of her era, but the scorching sensation it carries can’t be ignored.

When the mysterious Ethan is sent to collect her for a life of something more, she learns concealing the mark is the least of her worries. She’s destined to don a new mask—to join a dark, supernatural world and protect the future of people she may never meet.

What she doesn’t know—what she learns too late—is that her initiation won’t be complete until she kills the man she loves.

Set in an alternate Regency England, "Her Sweetest Downfall" is a standalone novella in the "Forever Girl" series, written as a gift to fans of the Forever Girl series.

HER SWEETEST DOWNFALL will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, fantasy, and vampire fiction.

D. H. Aire

D. H. Aire is the author of Highmage's Plight and co-author of the anthology Flights of Fantasy Volume 1. Both blurbs for these fantasy works can be read below. His short story Crossroads of Sin debuts this week in the new anthology RealLies(trade paperback). He also blogs at the Highmage Blog and will feature authors there during the BBF:

Highmage's Plight:


Professor George Bradley, computer staff in hand, “envisions” an archaeological site, which could turn history on its head. Then he falls through a ripple in reality.

He enters a world where: trolls think they are human; elves believe humans can’t do magic since they don’t have souls; a child of prophecy is dying of a curse; a shape-changer is bent on killing him; a seeress keeps too many secrets; and an ogre and a boy struggle to defend a keep against the evil ruling it.

This is a world where a starship crash landed, bringing about a war, which led to the laws of magic defeating those of science.

Here a demon rages, intent on destroying all life, its minions intent on killing the human mage from another world.

If that wasn’t bad enough, George’s computer is now rather sarcastic.

He will also be running a special promotion and giveaway on his blog. Here's a message from him on how you can take advantage of  his offer:

As a book promotion, I’m giving away two books and an unusual side prize: an autographed copy of my debut novel Highmage’s Plight($7.99/paperback) or my anthology Flights of Fantasy, Volume 1 ($10.00/paperback) to two visitors from the Blogger’s Book Fair who sends me an email at dhr2believe at gmail dot com from February 7 through February 10. I’m literally going to put names in a hat and draw two winners. My only caveat is that to enter you must be a resident of the United States.

Now about the unusual accompanying prize: I’m currently offering the first 100 interested buyers of Highmage’s Plight a free membership to the Highmage’s Plight/Dhr2believe.net Group, who have online access to my online experiment to make a Highmage’s Plight and novel’s sequels an evolving series in the digital age. I began serializing the series online 2010, which led to the Plight’s publication. A forthcoming book in the series, Human Mage, is available in its entirety to the group. It was serialized in the Separate Worlds in 2012. I’m currently serializing Merchants and Mages and have posted a prequel short story to the series, which are only available to members of the group. So I’m giving the two winners of this give-away a compliment free one-year membership to the Highmage’s Plight/Dhr2believe.net Group. The only caveat here is that members must be 13 years old or older to participate.

Winners will receive all the details. You can learn more about my experiment and books at www.dhr2believe.net.

Popular Television:

Edgy and disturbing, the 17 stories in this collection shine light on some of humanity’s darkest actions and thoughts—exposing them in graphic detail as if recorded on camera. Characters and stories too gritty for TV find life as literature. This mix genre collection, with tales of crime, horror, suspense, fantasy, and humor, gives the reader an experience similar to channel surfing, where each story is a different channel.
