About the Author – Olivia Hardin realized early on how strange she was to have complete movie-like character dreams as a child. Eventually she began putting those vivid dreams to paper and was rarely without her spiral notebooks full of those mental ramblings. Her forgotten vision of becoming an author was realized when she connected with a group of amazingly talented and fabulous writers who gave her lots of direction and encouragement. With a little extra push from family and friends, she hunkered down to get lost in the words. She’s also an insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who hates to run, and is sometimes accused of being artistic, though she’s generally too much of a perfectionist to appreciate her own work. A native Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband and their puppy Bonnie.

The adventure begins with FEARLESS: Tasmyn Vaughn didn’t expect much when her dad’s job moved them to a small town in Florida; it was just another new school. But there is more to King than meets the eye, and soon Tasmyn’s ability to hear others’ thoughts is the least of her worries. Entangled in a web of first love, quirky and secretive townsfolk, magic and blood rituals, she discovers the town’s secrets aren’t just bizarre, they’re deadly. . .

. . .continues with BREATHLESS: Tasmyn Vaughn is not having the senior year she expected. Her boyfriend Michael leaves for college, she’s being stalked by a suspicious preacher, pursued by the hot new boy at school and blackmailed by her chemistry teacher–who just might be a witch. Tas needs all of her many talents–and a little help from unexpected sources–just to keep her head above water. . .literally. 

. . .and then get RESTLESS: When she agrees to allow Ms. Lacusta to help develop her powers, Tasmyn has no idea how deep and dark the journey will become. Trapped between fascination and fear, she moves farther away from friends and family, even her boyfriend Michael. Leading a double life forces Tas into decisions that will threaten her sanity and her future… and the very lives of those she loves.

…and find a love that’s ENDLESS: After the tumult of her high school senior year, all is right in Tasmyn Vaughan’s world. She’s attending college with her boyfriend, and she’s learning to control her powers. Everything is finally perfect, until it isn’t.

When her new part-time job leads to more than she bargained for, Tasmyn is thrown into a deadly fight against forces of evil that she didn’t even know existed. Mastering her extraordinary gifts—along with the strength of an endless love—may be the only weapon that can guarantee her a happily ever after.

Like most writers, I wear more than one hat.

Beyond being a wife, mother, cat caregiver and all around household manager, I am also an editor. I work with other writers, helping them to polish their manuscripts.

I’m also the co-owner of Promotional Book Tours, a virtual publicity firm that specializes in promoting books and authors. In that capacity, I work with both authors and bloggers.

And now, I am also co-owner of Hayson Publishing, a small press that just released its first book. I’m so excited about this venture!

I love what I do, the fabulous people with whom I work, and I am looking forward to sharing more about all of it with you in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, go over and visit our sites, like us on Facebook. . .see what it’s all about!

One of my guilty secrets as a writer is that I am utterly clueless about covers. Really, I am not a visual person at all, and for me, the cover doesn’t really matter.

Or at least, that’s how I used to be. Since becoming involved in book promotions and publishing, I’ve become maybe just a tad more discerning. At least I can tell you what covers are bad. . .that’s a step in the right direction!

So without further ado, here are some of my favorite covers.

This book isn’t even out yet, but the cover just intrigues me. The finger under her chin. . .that grabs my heart. It probably doesn’t hurt that Christine designed my covers as well-I like her style!

I also love Jesi Lea Ryan’s cover for Arcadia’s Gift. It’s evocative of the whole story. . .

Mandie Steven’s cover for Dream Jumper is gorgeous. Can’t wait for this book and was so happy to put the cover at the end of ENDLESS!

This is an upcoming book, too, Eddie Santiago’s soon-to-be released debut through Hayson Publishing. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Of course, I am partial to my own covers. . .I think they’re absolutely beautiful. And since the experts tell me they are, who am I to argue??

I happen to adore C. G. Powell, author of SPELL CHECKED and IMMORTAL VOYAGE. So excited about her next book, FIREWALL.

I’m thrilled to share with you the cover for this book. . .and below it, a special sneak peek preview of the book itself.

Firewall (book 2 No Uncertain Logic Series) by C.G. Powell

“I hate to cut things short, but the sooner we get down to business the better.  I’ve made arrangements for a transport to take us to the Atlantis which is sitting in the Meranna Sea.”

Before Sarik could finish, Jael interrupted. “When did you move the ship?”

“Shortly after you left for Ibis Prime.  Orion felt he needed to keep an eye on me once Aphrodite arrived, so he sent a team to assist the move closer to the capital city.”  He looked to Neria and Aphrodite.  “Ladies, if you will follow me.  I will take you to the transport.”

They walked to a smaller docking area where a transporter ship was awaiting them.  Neria’s bags were already on board, as was Captain Ross.

Sarik raised one brow.  “How did you get here so quick?”

Captain Ross cleared his throat and rolled his eyes toward the cockpit where Tal sat.

“I thought you didn’t trust mist traveling?”  Sarik laughed.

“It took a while to get used to, but it has its benefits if you can get past the nausea and the whole cellular disintegration reassembly thing.”

Sarik nudged the captain with his elbow.  “Are you sure it has nothing to do with quantum entanglement with a certain Jinn?”

Speechless, Captain Ross’ reddened face spoke volumes.  He excused himself and joined Tal in the cockpit.

Looping her arm in Sarik’s, Jael frowned and continued towards the passenger area of the transport.  “Why do you tease the poor Captain?  I think it quaint that he has taken a liking to Tal even if she doesn’t return his affections.”

“What kind of friend would I be, if I didn’t acknowledge his obvious fondness?”

“Do you really want me entertain your question with an answer?”

“No, not really.”

Over the intercom the captain’s voice boomed, “Good morning, this is your captain.  Today’s flight should be a clear shot to the Meranna Sea area.  We have favorable atmospheric conditions and low level winds upon approach.  Our estimated arrival is 14:80 standard atomic time.  That’s half-past lunch for those of you who still struggle with the local atomic conversion.”

Jael, Salima, and Aphrodite all turned and looked at Sarik.

Purse-lipped, Sarik stood and yelled toward the cockpit.  “Okay, you win.  Now get us the hell out of here.”
