Author Interview with David J Cooper

David J Cooper author of the Penny Lane Paranormal Investigator - Ouija Board Mystery

I found a new to me author recently and was delighted when he wanted an interview with my book blog! I love getting to know new authors! I read The first book in the Penny Lane Paranormal Investigator series and enjoyed it. Here is a little about this author and the Penny Lane series.After you read this, go check out Penny Lane Paranormal Investigator!

I recently read your book titled Penny Lane Paranormal Investigator about a group of teens that use a Ouija board to contract their deceased friend and unknowingly draw out an evil spirit.

I read that you had your own paranormal experience that inspired you to write this story. Can you tell us about that experience?

Yes. I was living in Brixham, Devon in a 16th century building that had been converted into apartments. One morning I woke up and the apparition of what looked like a female dressed all in black floated out of my closet and vanished through a wall on the opposite side of the room. The landlord later told me that legend had it that the place was haunted by a female servant. This story has been included in the book.

How many books do you expect to write about Penny Lane?

There will be six books in the series. The Ouija Board Mystery, The House of Dolls, The Devil's Coins, The Mirror, The Key, and the final one Aftermath. They are all connected.

If you weren't a writer, what would you be doing?

Probably a paranormal investigator!!

What is your favorite genre to read?

I like to read about the paranormal, true crime, fantasy, suspense.

What are you reading now?

A book by Arthur Weismann called Evolution.

If someone is brand new to your books, which one should they read first?

If they like the paranormal then they need to read The Ouija Board MYstery first. If they are into true crime I highly recommend my book The Devil Knows about the perverse relationship between Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, the Moors murderers of 1960's Britain. It's a very disturbing book.

What ideas might inspire your future writings?

Once I've finished the Penny Lane series, I will be writing a book about the Cannock Chase murders as I lived in the area at the time of the murders and personally knew the killers second wife. However, I will continue with other paranormal themed books as I have lots of ideas about that genre.

Are any of your characters based on people from your life?

Yes. Most of the characters in the Penny Lane series are based on real people from my life.

What is the hardest scene you have had to write?

The hardest scene I've had to write at the moment is a scene in the fifth book in the series where Penny discovers the truth about the local priest.

If you could give your younger self any piece of advice, what would it be?

Start writing books!!

My Review: Summoned to Thirteenth Grave

Charley Davidson is back. Now she’s up against her greatest challenge ever and she has just three day to find out how to stop the end of the world. Piece of cake for Charley and the gang, right?

The end of the Charley Davidson series?? Say it isn’t so!! Yes, I cried. Sobbed a couple of times actually. And then the ending. Wow! To come to the end of such an amazingly fun series is so sad. But I can’t wait to see what Darynda Jones writes next! If it’s anything like Charley, I can’t wait! In the meantime, I rereading the whole series.

SYNOPSIS:

He’s the enemy. Our union is forbidden. That’s why I have to have him. Liliwen has all she could wish for, yet her sheltered life as Princess under the Seas leaves her unfulfilled. She goes rogue and travels to the enemy’s territory. When she sees him, she knows he’s a rare specimen. A soldier with many a battle scar. She ought to flee… but the challenge is on. Can she chisel through his defenses and seduce the enemy? Even though she risks losing her heart, or even her life, in the process?

She’s the enemy. I ought to capture the spy and throw her in the dungeon. Teaq, as General of Black Isle’s armies, has always led a life of all work and no play. Being passed over as his younger brother took the throne left him disgruntled and bitter. All this changes when he finds a mermaid in the waters surrounding his territory. Something about her enchants and awakens feelings in him which he never thought he’d have. A ray of hope lighting up the darkness in his heart.

Their meeting makes them rethink their allegiances. The war that has raged between their people, seems nothing more than a pointless squabble with neither beginning nor end in sight. But in a world so dangerous and fragile, beauty rarely lasts. If discovered, their love would spell the end for both of them.

The Soldier and the Siren is the second installment in Lorelei Moone’s brand new fantasy romance series, Shifters of Black Isle. Shifters, magic and relatable characters; set in a mysterious, distant land, where anything seems possible, and yet all its inhabitants hold dear could be destroyed in an instant. One-click now and find out what all the fuss is about!

My Review

He is a prince and the general of the royal guard. And a werewolf. She is a mermaid and princess of the ruler of the seas. Their meeting shouldn’t have happened because their people are at war with one another. But they did meet and they were both so intrigued by each other that they couldn’t stay away. They knew it was forbidden but their love was too powerful to be ignored. Yeah I know, the way I put it sounds so damn cheesy. But the writing is good and the story has just enough darkness to give it some edginess. I really enjoyed this love story. I was expecting cheese, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I give it 4 stars!

SYNOPSIS:

Abandoned by her people, a young woman was being sent to her doom.

Kelly was going to be a prisoner; a slave. At least that’s what she thought as she waited for the mysterious giants that lived on the Black Isles to claim her. A human sacrifice, once every eight years. That’s what it took to keep mankind safe from these savages.

The human would ensure the survival of his bloodline. Whether he liked it or not.

Broc’s reign as King of the Black Isles had lasted seven years already. That was a long time to go without a queen and therefore, an heir. He knew what he had to do; to claim the human offering and make her his own.

When they met, it changed everything. A glimmer of hope, even of love, in unexpected places. But life on the Black Isles was far from simple. And there were powerful secrets, yet to be uncovered, that could change everything yet again.

Claimed by the King is the first in Lorelei Moone’s brand new fantasy romance series, Shifters of Black Isle. Shifters, magic and relatable characters; set in a mysterious, distant land, where anything seems possible, and yet all its inhabitants hold dear could be destroyed in an instant.

The Harvest Saga by Casey L Bond Cover revamp!

Title: The Harvest Saga

Author: Casey L Bond

Genre: YA Dystopian

Cover Designer: The Illustrated Author Design Services

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb: Reap (Book 1):

The remnants of the United States of America have been divided.

From five enormous, technologically-advanced cities, the Greaters rule over the Lessers. In the Lesser village of Orchard, things are not as perfect as Abby Kelley thinks they are. When the apple harvest draws near and the Greater’s engineered fruits become too much for one village to handle alone, reinforcements from neighboring villages are called upon.

Having to choose between her best friend, whom she has no romantic feelings for, and mysterious newcomer Crew, Abby finds herself in the middle of a harvest that she had no intention of becoming a part of. She becomes involved in a situation that threatens the strict rule of the Greaters, and just might give the Lessers hope for a better tomorrow. But, can she help the Lessers without losing Crew? And if she chooses Crew, will she lose her best friend?

Resist (Book 2):

Abby Kelley returns home from the Greater city of Olympus to find that things in Orchard Village are bad, very bad. The Olympian Guard has taken over village affairs. The Lessers are being worked to the bone in the coldest winter Orchard has seen. Villagers are being dragged away for the slightest indication of what they call “resistance.” She needs to keep her head down and her mouth shut. But, it’s so hard to do when everything within you screams rebellion.

Kyan is coming on strong, trying to convince her to take a chance on him. Shocking news of Crew’s activities in Olympus sweeps through the Villages. When Abby is taken away by the Olympian guard, Kyan sends word to Vesuvius for help. But, no one could have predicted their idea of help or what they might expect in return.

Who will be left to pick up the pieces of Abby’s heart?

Reclaim (Book 3):

The Greaters have ruled over the Lessers since The Fall. They’ve taken Abby’s family. They’ve taken her friends. They’ve taken her hostage and threatened the villages.

Enough is enough. Freedom is worth fighting for. Love is worth dying for.

And the Lessers are done taking orders from the Greaters.

Reclaim…the epic conclusion of the award-winning Harvest Saga.

A SLAM JOLTED ME OUT of my slumber. Another bang echoed in the front of the cabin, and footsteps hurried to my door. I didn’t know how long I’d slept, or if it was still daylight, but I was still tired and wanted to retreat back into the sweet abyss again. My door opened, and I turned my head to see my aunt standing in the doorway. “What happened, Abby?” She rushed over. I tried to push myself up, but my back was so stiff. The skin even felt stiff. How was that possible? I winced. “Stay down. Let me see.” She gingerly lifted the back of Ky’s shirt and peeked underneath. The fabric slowly peeled away from my skin where the bandages Evelyn had applied didn’t quite reach, or had shifted, and it felt like part of the wounds tore open again. A hiss escaped from between my teeth at the same time a curse flew from her lips. “Evelyn sent more salve. She said that your body would absorb part of it and that more would have to be packed in.” Lulu helped me sit up and, one by one, I unbuttoned the shirt and again pried it away from my back. The only portion not torn to shreds from the fifteen lashes was the part my bra had covered; although, by the last lash, it only hung on by a thread. “Evelyn came to the depot. She said you’d been injured and gave me the medicine and salve. I had no idea. Did Norris do this?”All I could do was nod. Lulu took my shirt as I laid back down on my stomach and tried to remain as still as possible while she packed my wounds. Having left the room, I could hear her banging around in the kitchen before she returned with a steaming mug containing more of the special tea. I gulped it down, hoping it would help numb the pain like it had before. When my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep almost immediately. Something was touching my face, caressing my cheek. The skin that brushed mine was rough, hardened by the work we all shared. Am I dreaming? I waited, trying to see if it was real or part of a dream. Whichever it was, it was nice, comforting. Rough fingertips moved over the parts of my back that weren’t split open and packed with gunk. I sucked in a breath and held it. It was real. I moved my head and saw his silhouette against the candlelight flickering in from the kitchen and living room. “Ky?” My voice was raspy and barely sounded like my own. Sleep and exhaustion filled every chord. “Shh. I’m here.” Suddenly, I was very aware I was lying shirtless on my bed. Even though I was on my stomach, that didn’t help me feel any less naked in front of my best friend—who happened to be a member of the male species—a very fine specimen according to my girlfriends.I knew he was handsome. I wasn’t blind. But I didn’t see him like that. He’d dated many of my friends and was getting ready to marry Paige Winters after the harvest was complete and the orchards picked bare. His fingertips traced the intact skin between my shoulder blades, and I tensed under his touch. He’d kissed my head and temple and hugged me more times than I could count, but that was different; it was more intimate. His touch was delicate, gentle compared to his normal strength, and anything but playful. “Ky?” He didn’t answer. His fingers explored my back, careful not to stray too close to the wounds streaking across my skin. “Kyan?” “Shut up, Abby. Just let me... Just shut up.” He’d never talked to me like that. His voice was raspy, and he’d never, ever told me to shut up before. So I did. I wasn’t sure why. He shouldn’t have been touching my skin. Shouldn’t have been caressing the good parts left; but, sitting with me in the dark, he was doing exactly that, and I was allowing it.
