Captive A New Life Novel
By Samantha Jacobey
Hosted By Ashley’s Addictive Book Promotions




Captive – A New Life Novel… To what lengths would you go to break away

from a life filled with pain and suffering?

captive Tori Farrell has lived a

dangerous life. When you grow up with a Motorcycle Gang of Mercenaries and Drug

Lords like the Dragons, a normal life is more like a fairy tale. For years, she

accepted her dark reality, a world consisting of drugs, sex, violence and

murder. In the end, she learned the most valuable lesson: survival.


After years of being

ruled by the Dragons, Tori uses her skills of seduction and assassination to

free herself from the grasp of the people who vowed they would never let her

go. Taken in by the FBI, she fears not everything is what it seems, and soon

finds herself lost in a web of lies and deceit. She thought getting away from

the Dragons would put her on a path to a new and better life, but now she must

face the cold hard truth… there is always a price to be paid.
 








EXCERPT from CAPTIVE by Samantha Jacobey


Tori was sitting in one of the padded chairs, knees curled to her chest and arms wrapped, when Eli Founder arrived the next morning. She had been sitting for some time, watching the sunrise bring light to the lush green outside her small window.

The Dragons slept and lived outdoors routinely, and she was beginning to feel penned up being indoors for so many days now. “How was the bed?” Eli asked as he took the seat opposite of her. A blank stare was her only response, so he mumbled a simple “Well, you’ll get there,” and let the subject drop.

Tori lay her left cheek on her knees, watching out into the patio for several minutes. Finally, in a low voice, she inquired, “Why am I here?”

Eli shifted in his seat, wanting to be precise with his words. “You’re here for evaluation, and to heal.” He drew a deep breath to continue, catching himself before he spoke, and then exhaled slowly in silence.

Tori’s head popped up, and she asked again in a more forceful tone, “No, I mean why am Ihere.” She added emphasis to the word ‘here’ by reaching out with her right hand to stab the table with her index finger.

At his surprised look, she continued with the irritation clear in her voice, “I told you the knife was mine. I told you the Dragons got what they deserved. I did it. I killed them. Why am I not in a prison or a cell or something?”

Tori’s story begins with CAPTIVE

 The Box Set


~ SAMANTHA JACOBEY ~


Anyone who knows me could tell you, I am a friendly kind of person, never met a stranger and take up conversations any where at any time. I work hard, and my mind never seems to shut down, as I wake up often in the middle of the night with ideas pouring out and demanding to be dealt with. Of course that means much of my books were written in the middle of the night.
I grew up and still live in the great state of Texas where everything is bigger, where we have warm weather and a central location. I love my state, my town, and my family, which includes my four sons, my significant other, and many friends as well.
I have thoroughly enjoyed writing the books that are currently available and hope you will enjoy reading them just as much. And of course, there will be many more stories to come.

I cannot tell you how happy I am that summer is coming to an end. I am not a hot weather person. (of course here in CO it can snow in the summer…but that’s rare and besides the point.) I’m the person who will sleep with an ice pack if it’s too hot. Yep, I hate the heat that much.


How do I escape the heat? Other than sitting in front of my swamp cooler? Iced coffee. Yep. Coffee, a blender, and some milk (or ice cream!) and I can make myself a frappachino that would make Starbucks jealous. It’s true! Come on over during the summer and I’ll show you!


But since you’re here for a blog hop I know you’re not caring about the coffee, so let’s get to a give away eh? Tell me the best way to beat the heat, a picture, or a story, that demonstrates how to beat the heat and you’ll be entered to win an ARC of Past Demons (DWC #4)!

Blog Tour: The One Awakened

The One Awakened Blog Tour Banner


Synopsis


It began a decade ago with a spilt drink and a missed opportunity amongst two people destined to be together. Now ten years on, sexually frustrated Lucia Myers is seeing her friend as though it were the first time…


Everything changed that Tuesday night when Lucia Myer’s millionaire best friend Sebastian Silver returned home after months working abroad. She took one look at his spine-tingling face and in that moment he stole her breath away, for the second time in a decade…


As a single-mother, her priorities have changed; the only man in he life is her 3year old son Finn. Encouraged by her girlfriends she’s begun to date, but now, staring at Seb with fresh eyes – his appearance suddenly unfamiliar to her and physique making her mouth water; Lu decides that he should be the one to encourage her inner wantonness. What were friends for – if not to help when one was in need?

She forms a plan… a proposition of sorts; one night of pleasure, I’m open to anything, with no ties – the text reads. It couldn’t have been simpler.

She wants to be awakened by someone she can truly trust; one with a skilled repertoire with the ladies and one who will never want more from her – cue Sebastian – the ultimate alpha player!


Sebastian accepts her offer, but only on his terms, introducing rules that she must adhere to. He decides where, when, and that one night would not be enough to truly take Lucia to new heights and show her how it should be really be done! One month it is then…


The heat between them is scorching; the constant fight for control undeniable, as they struggle between the blurred lines of the term ‘mates’. Together they sizzle, but apart they are broken. They must become strangers, and forget their friendship to become lovers, for Lucia to fulfill her desires and for Sebastian to awaken her in a way no other man has achieved.


Soon their time will come to an end; can they ever go back to just being friends?

Forces from their past and present try to destroy their future and all the while, Lucia has this feeling that she is being watched, by another…


The One awakened is romantic, seductive, witty, full of angst, and will make you wish you had your very own Sebastian Silver to proposition.


Meet the Author


ALEXANDRA NORTH is an Indie author of romance and erotic romance. She lives in the rambling lush hills of Yorkshire, UK with her swoon-worthy husband, two children and two guinea pigs Barry & Boris. She admits quite openly to being ‘a hopeless romantic with a dirty mind’ and when not writing, works as a Graphic Designer & Illustrator, something she’s done for the past 20 years.

Other ‘broom up the bottom’ jobs include; mum’s taxi, cooking and cleaning, cake baking, family therapist and complaints letter writer, for all and sundry – she’s the one who won’t take no for an answer! In between everyday life’s tasks, she tries to lose herself with her secret lover ‘monsieur kindle’- sssh… don’t tell Mr. North.

Writing was always a hobby and took a back seat to University, work, parenthood and unfortunately later, chronic long-term illness. One day she woke and thought ‘life’s too short – I’m going to finish that blummin book!’

She now devotes her time to writing love stories full of humour and naughtiness. When she isn’t manically typing away or trying to be the model wife and mum, Alexandra can be found shoe shopping (shoes are her weakness), cosying up with back-to-back TV series and enjoying her very own Sebastian Silver.

Blog Tour: The Girl in the White Pajamas






The Girl in White Pajamas
By Chris Birdy
Tour Hosted By Ashley’s Addictive Book Promotions
Blog Tour August 18th -29th





 



Bogie McGruder, a private investigator and Florida real estate investor, learns that his cop brother is gunned down on the streets of Boston. When Bogie and his teenage daughter return to Boston for the funeral. he finds his family reeling out of control, fueled by alcohol and mired in scandals.


While home for his brother’s services, Bogie is contacted by his old flame, a young Boston attorney named Bailey Hampfield, who is seeking protection from a dangerous and unknown stalker. Bailey also has yet to tell Bogie that he is the father of her three year old daughter.


What begins as a short condolence trip to Boston for Bogie, soon turns into a deepening investigation into a twisted tale of murder, deceit and family lies.


Witty and dark, The Girl In White Pajamas is an entertaining read, filled with gritty characters and broken morals.







 


She looked up, took in a quick breath and gasped before she said, “God dammit, Bud!  What do you want from me!?”  She yelled over the wind not expecting an answer to her question. 
Bailey shouted,“Stop stalking me!”
“I want you to give me a chance.  Don’t want you to do anything…”  Bud stopped speaking.  His heart raced, and his eyes opened wide as

he heard a familiar metallic click behind him.

As the trigger was engaged, he dived toward her, knocking Bailey to the

ground.  The bullet entered the back of

his head and exited the front, taking brain and bone fragments with it.  Bailey lay motionless where she had fallen

with Bud’s body slumped on top of hers. 
“That’s the beauty of the ‘Bogie Man’.  He decides when your time is up, and you’re  gone, history.”




 



 




For almost twenty-five years, I did investigative work for small law firms conducting business in rough housing projects and crack house neighborhoods. I met with clients in every jail in the area even the now defunct Charles Street Jail and Deer Island House of Corrections. On good days, I got to take the .25 caliber handgun out of my pocket and the 9mm out of my purse and go to court. Then the real show began!


Several years ago, while sitting in a courtroom with a client, I watched as a police officer was lambasted by an attorney. The attorney was defending a young woman who crashed her car into two other vehicles before she passed out drunk behind the wheel. The occupants of the other cars were seriously hurt and the cop, a former EMT, tried to assist the injured while waiting for ambulances to arrive. The attorney questioned the cop’s every move, shredded his testimony and made him seem inept.


Embarrassed, the cop returned to his seat beside me and muttered, “Everybody lies. The judges lie, the lawyers lie, the witnesses lie..” I wanted to tell him not to worry that in about five years he’d be just as good a liar as they were.


The seeds for The Girl in White Pajamas were planted in that courtroom.

What would I like to tell people.  I lived in the areas I write about and have

witnessed and/or survived most of the things I write about. 

Latest news..  The second

book in the series, The Girl in Black Pajamas is coming out in the fall. 

First bitten by writing bug?

I’ve always written in one form or another.  Easily bored, I drew pictures or wrote

letters to imaginary friends when I was a student.

When did you consider yourself a writer?  I believe I’ve always considered myself a

writer.  That is my way of expressing

myself and helped me make a living.

Although my primary job was investigations, I also assisted attorneys in

writing settlement briefs from the raw data.

That was fiction writing at its finest.

What inspired you to write your first book?  A few years ago, while sitting in a courtroom

with a client, I watched as a police officer was lambasted by an attorney.  The attorney was defending a woman who

crashed her car into two other vehicles before she passed out drunk at the

wheel.  The other drivers were seriously

hurt and the cop, a former EMT, tried to assist the injured while waiting for

ambulances to arrive.  The attorney

questioned the cop’s every move, shredded his testimony and made him seem inept.
Embarrassed, the cop returned to his seat beside me and

muttered, “Everybody lies.  The judges

lie, the lawyers lie, the witnesses lie…”

I wanted to tell him not to worry that in about five years he’d be just as

good a liar as they were.
That day I realized that many of those who are entrusted with

upholding and enforcing the law have the least regard for it.  The seeds for the “The Girl in White Pajamas”

were planted in that courtroom.
Specific writing style:  I

write like I speak, profanity, vulgarity and all.  That’s me.

The title grew from the story.

It started as a love story wrapped up in a murder mystery, but the

child’s role became pivotal and she became the object of the story.
What do you want readers to get out of your novels?  I want them to be entertained.  When I read a book, I want to be entertained

and feel that I’ve had a positive experience.

I have no secret message or platform other than the belief that people

are what they are – take them or leave them but don’t try to change them.
Is the book mostly fantasy?

NO!  Sadly most of the things I

write about have happened.

Music:  Bogie’s old school

and macho.  He like Frank Sinatra, Dean

Martin, Michael Buble.  Bailey’s father

was a country/western singer to she likes country music, being a Francophile

she also listens to French music.

The experiences in my writing are definitely fact based.

What books influenced your life the most?  Gone with the Wind, Angela’s Ashes and,

strangely, Forever Amber, which I read when I was ten years old.

Authors with the most influence:

John Sandford, Joseph Wambaugh, Susan Isaacs

What book are you reading now?

Just started Concealed in Death, the J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) futuristic

detective stories.  I think I’ve read all

of them.

Have any authors interested you by their writing style…
Frank McCort.  He told a

tragic story in Angela’s Ashes with hope and humor.  He even threw in some verses and songs.

What are your current projects?

Working on the edits on the second book while going through the first

draft of the third novel. 

Do you see writing as a career?

I do now.  I believe that all my

previous jobs were done to get life experiences.  At times, when I was in a dangerous

situation, I’d think to myself, “This is going to make one hell of a story!”

Change anything in your latest book.  No, I don’t think so.

Current work:  In the

second book one of Bogie’s employees in his Boston security firm is shot in the

back and a hacker is trying to break through his computer network.  Meanwhile, in Florida, deputy sheriffs are

making porn movies and selling them on the internet.

Three favorite authors:

John Sandford, Michael Connelly and Joseph Wambaugh.

The covers:  The cover for

the first book was designed by Erica Baert – she’s a graphic artist.  I told her what I wanted and provided her

with snapshots of my granddaughter at three years old.  Yes, my granddaughter was the model for

Isabella.
I don’t find writing a book hard.  I have a vague outline in my head when I

begin and then start writing.  I’m amazed

how a story turns out when it’s finally over.

Because I’m a newbie in the publishing world, I don’t have the pressure

of contracts and deadlines.  The book is

ready when I’m comfortable with it.

What did I learn from writing the book?  I learned more after I wrote the book and

that is that there’s no silver bullet or fast track to the top.  There’s a lot of steady, hard work and

marketing to get noticed.  And that’s a

job in itself.

 


Advice to other writers?

Unless you love what you do and feel compelled and driven, stop!  Writing is not a group activity.  It’s a solitary business that allows you sit

and wonder why the hell you chose this path.
 
Which comes first – For me it’s the characters and then how they

react to different situations?

Published writer:

Advice:  Unless you’re a

celebrity, don’t sit around and wait for an agent or publisher to notice

you.  If you think your work is good,

self-publish.  You’ll learn the business

by the seat of your pants the others before you have.
