NEW RELEASE!! Reign of the Wolf by Dianna Hardy

The erotic, paranormal fantasy, werewolf series that's got everyone hot under the collar: first book FREE.




IMPORTANT NOTE
Although this series deals with romance, it is not written to be a standard romance. Its focus is on the theme of man vs. beast, and higher consciousness vs. baser needs. Although humorous in places, this series is also highly erotic, dark, and contains violence and scenes that may disturb some readers.

Combining fast-paced action, dark humour, with elements of romance and horror, the Eye Of The Storm series takes us on a journey alongside werewolves and their enemy, The Tridents, beginning with Lydia – a twenty-five-year-old waitress trying to find her way, who has no idea what she is, or who she's destined to be mated to.

Sex, secrets, lies, and the dawning truth of what really matters, come to the fore as every phase of the moon brings a new surprise. With the last book released on 31st October, 2017, it's looking like things will get rough and dangerous before a climatic conclusion is reached. Full information about the series can be found here: http://www.diannahardy.com/eye-of-the-storm-series.html

~*~


Releasing The Wolf, the first book in the series is available FREE from most sites. Have you sunk your fangs in yet?


Lydia Martin has always had dreams, the weirdest and hottest of them all involving a faceless, muscle-bound man that speaks like sin and smells like sex. Like any sane person, she always put the dreams down to an overactive imagination, coupled with a higher than average libido.

One night, however, instead of their usual, erotic encounters, she finds him in her dream, chained to a wall and screaming in pain. Not only that, but she thinks she recognises the building he's being held captive in as one that's just a few streets away.

Awaking with an irrepressible need to save her fantasy lover, Lydia decides to humour her dream self and head on over to where she thinks he's imprisoned.

What unfolds is beyond even her wildest imaginings, as she's sucked into a dangerous and deadly world she never knew existed ... and it turns out that the man who inhabits her darkest fantasies, isn't the only one that needs releasing.

BUY NOW 


The spell of summer (once trice thrice) by Dianna Hardy

Dianna Hardy’s Spell of Summer proves that magic does exists and that no matter what if you are meant to be together then you will be. Regardless of how much time passes if you are meant to be it will be.
When Meredith says another man’s name at the alter on her wedding day her fiancee Michael decides that they need some time apart to reassess their commitment to each other. Even though she is upset by this Meredith goes along with his wishes and goes back to her home town. A place she hasn't been since she was 16 when she left with her mother to make a new start in London. On her last night their Meredith meets Jamie when he saves her life; he then shows her the best night of her life.
Even though Meredith and Jamie went their separate ways and they had lives of their own 13 years latter fate shows them what was meant to be. It is not all smooth sailing and what about Michael? With a little bit of magic anything is possible!
Spell of summer is a wonderfully written book and I found it enthralling. It is nice to let some magic into my life and reminds us to let some” magic” into our own lives. A lovely romance was a pleasure to read this ARC for my honest review. Would recommend this to anyone.

CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT!! Norman from Broken Lights by Dianna Hardy


***encore performance from Norman!!***

Guest post, by Dianna Hardy:
The hero behind the normal, everyday man.

In Broken Lights, my latest release, I named the 'hero' Norman Smithson for one very good reason: it's a normal guy's name – 'Normal Norman' he calls himself in the book.

I'm going to be blatantly honest here: I wrote Broken Lights because, on a personal level, I got a little tired of seeing book after book of 'Alpha males' on my newsfeed throughout social media platforms – a newsfeed I need to use for work and can't really get rid of or modify too much. I wanted something different. I wanted to write something different, and I wanted to read something different, and so Norman was born.

I like Alpha males as much as the next person. I write Alpha males, and I do enjoy writing them, but in my very real life, Alpha males have never been my superheroes. They were never the ones that were there for me when it counted. When shit hit the fan, the 'Alpha males' in my life became conceited and fearful, while the ones no one usually thinks of as worthy always became my rock.

Just before I started writing this book, Superman came on the TV and my daughter and I were watching it, and I delighted in once more seeing Superman (Christopher Reeve) be Clark Kent. Indeed, Superman always seemed more comfortable to me as Clark Kent – and in many ways, so much more endearing – than when he was Superman.

Men relate to their fathers. Superman, I felt, never quite made his peace with his, or the destruction of his home planet, and in Broken Lights, Norman's father in some ways is a strong and guiding influence in this story, even if Norman doesn't realise it, and he indirectly provides a catalyst for Norman's transformation.

My partner's father passed away this summer – it's not been an easy few years for us. At some point a couple of months back, I found myself sitting at my laptop, working, occasionally looking across the room at my partner of ten years, thinking of all that we've been through in that time, and thinking how damn lucky I am to have someone so accepting and understanding of me and all my intricacies and complexities. When we first started dating, I used to joke and call him Superman, because he wore glasses (still does) and no one else saw in him what I saw, when those glasses came off. (I am speaking both metaphorically and literally.)

Many men are Clark Kent with a hidden Superman inside. I truly believe that. It's why Superman has always been one of my favourite comic book heroes of all time – he's relatable, and I see him in the street every day, unsung.

He often does amazing things, but will most of the time not tell a soul about it. He will often be taken for granted (just like women feel they are taken for granted by men), but say nothing. He is still measured by how much money he makes and how well he can provide, even though we are now in the twenty-first century of equality for all and 'doing the job you love'.

I wanted to write about that. It felt good to write it. And I wanted to write about a man's journey from 'normal' to 'superhero', perhaps only for him to discover that 'superhero' isn't that far from what he might perceive as normal after all; that, in fact, 'normal' is merely a perception. I wanted to write about a very real journey that anyone might take if they found themselves in Norman's situation.

The fantasy of the (sometimes billionaire) Alpha male is intoxicating and seductive, without a doubt. But the reality of Superman hiding within the normal, everyday man is, to me, so much more fulfilling, because it's accessible, and real, and … right there in front of us. This story was created, because amid writing all my fallen angels and werewolves, and trapped between the thousand-and-one images of 'perfect maleness' in my newsfeeds, I wanted to remember that. I wanted to give the normal guy his song.

Broken Lights

What's really worth fighting for, when one second is all you have left?

Norman Smithson is at the end of the line. His wife left him, women don't look at him, he was made redundant, and at forty, he could be just that little bit slimmer. He would be a has-been if he'd ever been a 'was' in the first place. He's not the Alpha male of the 21st century – or of any century. He was the chubby oddball who used to sit silently at the back of the class so he wouldn't get picked on.

Rosa is a dreadlocked, tattooed and pierced twenty-something, who uses her image as armour to keep everyone away from every broken thing about her. But her past is about to catch up with her ... at the exact moment Norman finds himself in completely the wrong place, at the worst possible time.

One gunshot, one scramble for life, one unlikely couple, one very long night ... can one damaged woman and one ordinary man, find the extraordinary in the very last second they're given?

Broken Lights is a standalone story of what's really worth fighting for, when one second is all you have left.

NOTES: This is a novella at just under 40,000 words, packed with emotion and heat. Contains strong language. Written in British English.

COVER REVEAL! Rise of the Wolf by Dianna Hardy



Cover and Blurb Reveal: Rise Of The Wolf (Eye Of The Storm #5), by Dianna Hardy




Rise Of The Wolf (Eye Of The Storm #5)

The fifth book in the dark paranormal fantasy series, Eye Of The Storm.

With the king returned after twenty years absent, wolves across the country – even Europe – are coming out of hiding to show their support. And not a moment too soon, for dark shadows from the past are taking centre stage in the lives of the four who lead the Surrey pack.

Is the royal line corrupt? Where do storm-wielders truly come from? And how does an ancient Egyptian mythology fit into the confused present?

As the moon begins to wax once more, answers start to surface. However, they may come too late to save their species from extinction.

The bond between the mated four is stronger than ever; a future worth fighting for is within reach... But The Trident have a new leader – one who will do anything to survive. And the knowledge one old woman harbours could be enough to destroy everything.

*This blurb is subject to small changes before publication. Release is expected to be around Oct / Nov, 2015
