New Release – The Magician’s Blood – The Great Dagmaru, Book 2

The Magician’s Blood, Book 2 of The Great Dagmaru paranormal romance series.

“Unforgettable and gutsy. Linda G. Hill is a force to be reckoned with.”  ~ Jessica Cale, bestselling author of Tyburn.

 

He who wants the rose must respect the thorn. ~ Persian Proverb

Herman Anderson is in love. Thrilled to travel across Canada with her boyfriend as his assistant onstage, she returns to her hometown—the first stop on the Great Dagmaru magic tour. Anticipating a reunion with her brother, instead she finds her family has moved without a trace.

Stephen Dagmar’s career as a stage magician is taking off. With Herman by his side, his only concern is her father’s dislike for him. But as Herman’s father makes a prediction and resolves to come between them, Stephen’s family curse returns to haunt him.

Darkness descends as the reality of the Dagmar’s incubus bloodline surfaces for the first time in over a generation. Can Herman and Stephen’s relationship survive this new trial? Will Herman survive at all?

A sinful tale of beauty and romance, love and determination, The Magician’s Blood will chill you and leave you breathless for more.

The Magician’s Curse by Linda G. Hill – Blog Tour Review.

Thanks so much to Steph of Steph’s Book Blog for the review!
While the first book tended to be a little on the sweeter side, the story takes a much darker turn in the second book. It was for this reason I didn’t categorize “The Magician’s Curse” as YA. I hope to release Book Two, “The Magician’s Blood,” next month. 🙂
Don’t forget, “The Magician’s Curse” is on sale right now for 99 cents/99p, down from $2.99, for the duration of this Blog Tour.

My Review

With thanks to the publisher for the copy received. The Magician’s Curse falls into a genre that I don’t read much of. That of YA paranormal romance. I found it to be…

My #BlogTour has begun!

Hosted by the lovely Anne Cater, my blog tour kicked off yesterday with a somewhat rough beginning. The first blogger on the tour, whose name happens to be Linda, didn’t review The Magician’s Curse because, I’m assuming, she wasn’t enjoying it. Which is fair–not everyone will. Yet she was kind enough to stick to her promise and promote it with a spotlight anyway. You can find her blog post here. Thank you, Linda!

Then today, the blogger who was supposed to review my book disappeared! I swear it had nothing to do with the magic in my book. Stephen Dagmar simply wouldn’t play that sort of a trick. However, another kind soul who is associated with Anne picked up the spot and promoted my book. Her name is Ali, and you can find her blog here. Thanks so much, Ali!

Which brings us to tomorrow; I’m almost afraid to say there will be a review of my book. Is Mercury in retrograde by any chance?

Please stop by and see what happens!

Oh, and by the way, The Magician’s Curse is on sale. From now until the end of my blog tour on May 9th, you can pick up the e-book for a special low price of 99¢ at Amazon US, Amazon Canada, Amazon UK, Amazon Australia, and Kobo.

Enjoy!

Random Update on My Week

Day 5 is almost in the bag and we’re all still alive.

It’s been an interesting week. I managed to write and submit a new short story to my publisher (I can’t believe I can actually say “my publisher”!) yesterday. Transmundane Press’s next release will be an anthology themed on dreams. I’m happy with what I’ve written–hope they will be too. Wish me luck.

Speaking of luck, it’s lucky St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow. If you’re interested in reading the stories that have kept me busy editing for the last three weeks, you can download the e-book, Shamrocks, Shillelaghs & Shenanigans for free at your favourite e-book retailer. C’mon. With a cover like this, I know you’re curious:

You can find all the links at the bottom of this post.

In other news, as I was driving the other day, annoyed that it was taking so long to get to my destination, I started to wonder if I’m getting spoiled by fiction. Okay, I know that doesn’t make much sense on the surface, but hear me out.

When I write scenes, if I want my characters to go from one exciting scenario to the next, I just put them there. Because let’s face it, most of the time traveling is boring. There’s a reason kids ask “are we there yet?” I spend so much time in the world of fiction, whether I’m reading it, writing it, or editing it, that it has become more the norm than what’s normal.

I really need to get out more, don’t you think?

Anyhoo, that’s my short update. Back to work.

Here are the links to the FREE book of sexy short stories.

Enjoy!

161. Scenes from the Second Seat on the Right

Thursday, February 8th, 7:00pm
Bella and Edgar (and Edward)

 

Edgar: It’s going to be great meeting your parents. Do you really think they’ll like me?

Bella: What’s not to like? You were the captain of the football team, which my dad is going to love.

Edgar: That was a couple of years ago though.

Bella: And now you’re an electrical engineer. (takes his arm and hugs it) Brains and strength.

Edgar: And your mom?

Bella: You know how to cook. She’ll be very impressed. (kisses him on the cheek)

Edgar: Thanks. I feel bett …

Edward: (popping up in the seat behind) Who’s this, Bella?

Bella: (rolling her eyes) He’s my boyfriend. What’s it to you?

Edward: He’s not meant for you. I am.

Bella: You’re crazy.

Edward: Crazy in love with you.

Edgar: (turns) Step aside, man.

Edward: I will not! Bella is the love of my life! My soulmate! There can only be one for h …

Edgar: (punches him in the nose) I said, step aside. The lady wants nothing to do with you.

Edward: (holding his nose and heading for the door) I’ll get you for this! You have no idea what it’s like to feel the wrath of a vampire! (gets off the bus)

Edgar: Do you think your friend Drommen will be happy with that little performance?

Bella: (smiling) Very. You really should come and meet my parents. For real.

Edgar: Don’t you think we should go out together first?

Bella: Is that an invitation?

Edgar: (smiles) Valentine’s is soon …

Bella: (smiles widely) Sounds like a date.
