Excerpt: The Fox and the Viscount (The Shifter Season #1)

Image
Writing the connection between Edmund (the Viscount) and Victoria (the fox) was so much fun, I'm sad that their story is complete in this book (though they'll appear as side characters in the other books in the series!) Read on for an excerpt! ~~~~ Copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood ~~~~ The upbeat music begins to play, and the top couple begins to dance. No doubt it will be Lady Ferrington herself leading. As a wealthy widow, she's in the perfect place to enjoy the balls, while also hoping to make a second match. It soon becomes our turn and I hop along through the moves. It doesn't take me long to remember why dancing with Lord Leon is a pleasure. He has boundless energy and is quick on his feet, showing a lot of the grace and strength he needs to prove he'll be a capable husband. But is he that to me? The dance progresses to take us away from one another and towards different partners. It'll only be temporary, but it may give me time to ponder my thoughts. "...

Important Update: The Fox and the Viscount (The Shifter Season #1)

Image
  There's going to be a slight delay to The Peacock and the Wallflower (book 2 of the Shifter Season series) but with good reason! While working on book 2, I realised that not having dual points of view for this series was a mistake (particularly because Esther and Laurence don't know one another prior to the events of the book, unlike Victoria and Edmund who were childhood friends). Instead of just going about it differently from book 2 onwards, I took some time and went back to add some of Edmund's point of view to The Fox and the Viscount too! The files are processing on retailers at the moment and will hopefully be finished soon! The version with Edmund's chapters has 16 chapters (and an epilogue), whereas the Victoria-only version has 14 chapters (and an epilogue). There are four Edmund chapters (3, 10, 14, & 16), two of which are brand new, and two of which are switched for chapters that were originally from Victoria's point of view (they're still ava...

Last Chance For Free (Multiple Titles)

Image
  The following books will only be free for a short time longer! I have mentioned a few of these in The Paranormal Council Reader Group & to my newsletter already, but I thought a post with all of them in would be helpful. If you want to grab these for free, then now is the time to do it! Harpy's Mission   (Supernatural Retrieval Agency #1) will be coming off free next week. It follows Harper the harpy (her name is a thing), as she joins the Agency and learns there's more to fighting crime than she thought there was. Catching A Vampire  (Grimalkin Academy: Catacombs #1) follows Daphne, a witch attending Grimalkin Academy with her best friend, and whose twin brother is determined to find an old family spell that will allow them to turn into cats...the only problem? It's hidden in the vampire part of the academy. Your Heart To Win  (a Rosewood Academy story) is a contemporary royal academy romance (try saying that fast!) following Arthur and Charlotte as they sta...

Excerpt: Stoking The Embers (The Dragon Duels #1)

Image
The Dragon Duels is a complete modern fantasy series featuring dragons, romance, and a deadly competition. *** Teaser copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood *** When my name is finally called, I'm escorted further into the building towards an office I never even knew existed. Something about it is more off-putting than I want to admit. I think it's because everything is too lavish, especially after the dreariness of the ash. I have to hand it to whoever keeps the place clean, they've done an admirable job of making it look as if the constant raging fires don't affect anything inside. The deep red of the curtains is completely unblemished, and the pale wooden desk doesn't appear as if it's even had a day's wear. But nothing about this room tells me anything about the person who works here and what to expect. I've never heard of anyone being called into this office before. That's because none of them come back. I push the thought away, refusing to accept the p...

Excerpt: Balanced Scales (Untold Tales #1)

Image
What happens when a mermaid has to go on land? Mari finds out when her soul is stolen in Balanced Scales, a retelling of the Little Mermaid. This is book one of Untold Tales, a series of standalone fairy tale retellings each following a heroine who has to save herself and has an animal companion. For Mari, that's Shelbie the seal (who becomes a dog when Mari becomes human!) Read on for an excerpt! ~~~ Copyright 2019 Laura Greenwood ~~~ I didn't want to admit it out loud, but the size of the buildings intimidated me. We built upwards in the city under the sea too, but it wasn't anything like this. There, I was able to swim to the surface to get away from them. Here, not so much. I actually felt jealous of Aaron and his ability to turn into a wisp of air. It would make the whole place much less imposing. Shelbie barked at nothing, her attention completely grabbed by whatever it was that had distracted her. For all I knew, it could be nothing more than a strange smell coming f...

Midnight Magic: Potion Making For Disastrous Witches by Laura Greenwood

Image
What's the title of your book in Midnight Magic? Potion Making For Disastrous Witches Tell us a little bit about it! Potion Making For Disastrous Witches is a light-hearted and fun paranormal romance set at Obscure Academy. It follows Michaela, a not-so-great witch as she makes friends, falls in love, and ends up having to brew a potion...with disastrous consequences.  What's your main character like? Michaela is a fun loving and upbeat witch who doesn't care that she's not so good at magic, especially now she's at Obscure Academy where a lot of the other students aren't so great at being supernatural either.  Is it part of a bigger series or world? It is! It's part of the Obscure Academy series which revolves around a group of flatmates at a university level academy for supernaturals. The series is also part of my Obscure World which includes several urban fantasy and paranormal romance series all set in a world where supernaturals are out in the open.  Is ...

Midnight Magic: Meet Laura Greenwood

Image
What's your favourite thing about being part of a boxed set or anthology? It's definitely getting to know other authors and work with them closely! I still regularly talk to and work with several authors I met doing boxed sets/anthologies even years after they end! What do you normally write? I normally write paranormal romance and urban fantasy, though you can also find me writing some fantasy romance and the occassional contemporary romance too - though I think most of my readers agree that my paranormal romance/urban fantasy is their favourite! What's your favourite kind of paranormal creature to write about? That's a hard one! But I keep straying back to vampires and witches! But I do like writing about all of them, especially when it comes to how they interact with the world around them.  Have you read a book from any of the other authors in Midnight Magic? Which would you recommend? I have! I've read Juliana Haygert's Rite Of The Vampire series and it was...

Excerpt: Quest Of The Goddess (The Queen Of Gods #1)

Image
Hathor is always going to hold a little place in my heart. Being thousands of years old gave me a lot of confidence to work with, and it made things really interesting when writing her romance with Amun. Read on for their first on page meeting during the complete trilogy! *** Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood *** I let the linen bath cloth drop to the floor now it had done the job of drying me. Perhaps I should have gone straight to Horus' temple and demanded he helped against Seth, but instead, I thought it was better to come back to Karnak first and take a bath to calm myself. The last thing I wanted to do was ruin any chance of convincing him by acting in anger rather than rationally. "I've heard you're looking for me," a male voice said from behind me. I twirled around to see who was in my room. Ura reacted to his voice, uncoiling herself and hissing, her hood flaring in a sudden show of aggression. She was a good snake, even if I'd never taught her to protec...
