Hello my lovely Literal Addicts!  I have an awesome shotgun post for you today…

6 of our favorite authors have joined forces to put together an amazing eCompilation called DARK NIGHTS DANGEROUS MEN which was just released on 5/17/13.  And…it’s on sale for just $.99 during Release Week (NOTE:  may not be $.99 for Amazon UK & Canada)!!  

That’s 317,000 words for under a $1.00, how can you go wrong!?? :)

For those of you new to some of these authors, here’s a little bit about each one of them and where you can find them online, and then I’ll tell you a bit more about this incredible release…

Elisabeth Naughton

Bestselling Author Elisabeth Naughton writes full time from her home in western Oregon where she lives with her husband and three children. Her books have appeared on every major bestsellers list, including the New York Times, the USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Digital Book World and IndieReader, and have been nominated for numerous awards such as the prestigious RITA® awards by Romance Writers of America, the Australian Romance Reader Awards, The Golden Leaf and the Golden Heart. When not writing, Elisabeth can be found running, hanging out at the ballpark or dreaming up new and exciting adventures.

Elisabeth is the proud creator of the ETERNAL GUARDIANS, and FIREBRAND series, as well as the STOLEN TRILOGY and several amazing single titles and Anthology contributions.

You can keep up with Elisabeth online at her Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on GoodReads.

Cynthia Eden

USA Today Best-selling author Cynthia Eden has written over twenty-five novels and novellas. She was named as a 2013 RITA® finalist for her paranormal romance, ANGEL IN CHAINS, and, in 2011, Cynthia Eden was a RITA finalist for her romantic suspense, DEADLY FEAR.

Cynthia is a southern girl who loves horror movies, chocolate, and happy endings. She has always wanted to write (don't most authors say that?), and particularly enjoys creating stories about monsters-vampires, werewolves, and even the real-life monsters who populate her romantic suspense stories.

She is the proud creator of the BOUND, NIGHT WATCH, MIDNIGHT, DEADLY, THE FALLEN, LOVED BY GODS, SHADOW AGENTS and PURGATORY series, as well as numerous incredible single titles.

You can keep up with Cynthia online at her Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on GoodReads.

Katie Reus

Katie Reus is the USA Today bestselling author of the MOON SHIFTER, RED STONE SECURITY and DEADLY OPS series, as well as several dark and sexy single titles.

She fell in love with romance at a young age thanks to books she pilfered from her mom's stash. Years later she loves reading romance almost as much as she loves writing it. However, she didn't always know she wanted to be a writer. After changing majors many times, she finally graduated with a degree in psychology. Not long after that she discovered a new love. Writing. She now spends her days writing dark paranormal romance and sexy romantic suspense.

 You can find Katie online at her Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on GoodReads.

Alexandra Ivy

Alexandra Ivy is a New York Times and USA Today Best-selling author who isn’t sure exactly when she fell in love with books. She does remember that she was barely old enough to cross the street by herself when she discovered the delights of the local library, and would immerse herself in Nancy Drew Mysteries during the Summer months. After that, she fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien among many others.

She’s still an avid reader, and her tastes are still as varied as they ever were, which may explain why she enjoys writing regency historical under the name of Deborah Raleigh, and contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy.

Alex is the proud creator of the GUARDIANS OF ETERNITY, IMMORTAL ROGUES, BAYOU HEAT and SENTINEL series, as well as her books written as Deborah Raleigh.

You can keep up with Alex online at her Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on GoodReads.

Laura Wright

USA Today Bestselling Author, Laura Wright is passionate about romantic fiction. Though she has spent most of her life immersed in acting, singing and competitive ballroom dancing, when she found the world of writing and books and endless cups of coffee she knew she was home. Laura is the author of the bestselling MARK OF THE VAMPIRE series and the USA Today bestselling series, BAYOU HEAT, which she co-authors with Alexandra Ivy. She also has the LLANDARON, THE THOMPSONS, and NO RING REQUIRED series, and many awesome single titles.

Laura lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two young children and three loveable dogs.

You can keep up with Laura online at her Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, and on GoodReads.

Joan Swan

Joan is the proud creator of the PHOENIX RISING and COVERT AFFAIRS series.
