Nicole Zoltack and The Test of Time

Today I'd like to welcome Nicole Zoltack for the cover reveal of her new time travel romance, The Test of Time. I don't know about you, but I'm excited to read the book. And...isn't the cover beautiful?

~~~

Hi, everyone! This is Nicole Zoltack. I've written a bunch of romances, a lot in the speculative realm, and finally wrote a time travel romance: THE TEST OF TIME. And I adore the cover. It's beautiful. Wanna see it? Sure you do!

I could not be happier with it. What do you think of it?

BLURB: Katia jumps at the chance to go to England with her best friend after Rose ditches her deadbeat boyfriend. While walking through the market, she spies a large mansion and recognizes the guy out front as her high school friend Tony. Just as they start to reconnect, Katia passes through times and lands in the arms of Lord Landon, who looks like Tony but

certainly doesn’t act like him.

Soon, Katia learns that this 1815 is different from the one in history books. Trapped in a parallel world, Katia struggles to not fall for Landon but his charm proves too much for her. Just when she is about to confess her love for him, Katia travels through time yet again. The course of love never did run smooth and if Katia can’t figure out and master the test of time, she’ll never see or friends again, or worse, never be reunited with Landon.

So I'm sure you're dying to know the release date and luckily it's not that far away! THE TEST OF TIME releases September 9th! Be sure to grab it on the 9th!

Add it on Goodreads!

Absolutely, Completely, No Strings Attached Free

HAUNTED is my fifth published book. Yet this is my first go at KDP Select. Mistake? Hard to say. Truth be told, I see very little sales from Smashwords, and I have yet to venture out on my own with distribution to Kobo, B&N, or Apple on my own. So it’s an experiment on my part to see if it’s worth my 90-day devotion to Amazon. Don’t let me down like a bad boyfriend, Amazon.

I wound up with increased, residual sales after I managed to make OUTCAST free on Amazon without anyone else’s assistance. Don't ask me how I did it. I have absolutely no idea and wouldn't be able to repeat it, I'm sure. It was free for about a week and stayed in the top 12 on Amazon’s free YA Contemporary Romance list the entire time. Then Amazon kicked me and my little novel to the curb without warning, putting a price tag back on the book. Go figure.

So what does all this blathering on my part lead to?

Well, I’ve heard nightmarish things about the whole Countdown thing-a-ma-bob on Select, so I decided to keep it simple and make the book free for a couple of days—see what happens.

So…HAUNTED is free on January 2^nd and January 3^rd, barring any snags on the part of my publishing boyfriend, Amazon. We’re exclusive right now, you know?

So grab an electronic copy. That is, if you’re into ghost-ish stories and romance and (yes) a little swearing. About the whole swearing thing—honestly, I couldn’t control Nate if I wanted to.

Happy New Year. Unless you’re waiting for the Chinese New Year. That doesn’t happen until January 31^st.

Black Hellebore

I am so excited to be a part of Nicole Zoltack’s newest release, Black Hellebore. I had the great fortune of reading an ARC of the book and invite you to celebrate along with Nicole.

Once a year for the past decade, Nicholas Adams returns to Falledge and leaves a black hellebore on his girlfriend's grave. While departing Falledge, he chases after a man sneaking into the laboratory and dies for his trouble. A witch brings him back to life, but Nicholas soon realizes he's not the same man. Turns out, magic combined with a black hellebore in his pocket changed him into a kind of a super man.

His girlfriend's twin, Julianna Paige, is Falledge's deputy, struggling to solve several murders. Nicholas, and his alter ego the Black Hellebore, helps her, even as she helps him move on and even start to love again.

Unfortunately, Nicholas wasn't the only one changed in the laboratory explosion, and now there's a supervillain bent on destroying Falledge, and killing the Black Hellebore. But falling in love might prove more dangerous than any supervillain. 

***

Nicholas Adams wants to put miles between himself and the town of Falledge. But on the way out, he spies suspicious activity at the local pharmaceutical plant. He investigates—a choice that forever alters his life.

In an on-the-edge-of-your-seat opening, Nicholas chases an unknown assailant through the laboratory along fracturing catwalks and spilling chemicals. His decision to be there marks the moment where he transforms into the Black Hellebore and a new super villain is created alongside him.

Nicole Zoltack’s new release is an action-packed superhero novel, pitting Nicholas (the Black Hellebore) against Lewis Lichman (aka, Skull Krusher). Zoltack creates a multi-layered story that seamlessly blends the superhero and romance genres with a touch of paranormal. Her villain, Skull Krusher, is sinister and disturbing. And this fine attention to development carries over to her other characters, as well.

If you enjoy action, heroes, diabolical plans, and romance, Black Hellebore is a must-read.

You can find Black Hellebore in these places:

Amazon

Goodreads

Barnes and Noble

Six Things About Fractured

1. FRACTURED has been ten years in the making. I wrote the first draft back in 2002 after my own experiences (yes, there was more than one) with miscarriage.
2. It’s not just about miscarriage. It has marital conflict, friendship, humor, and sex, too.
3. It's set in Phoenix. Like most of my novels, FRACTURED is set in the Phoenix metro area even though I don’t live there anymore. I love and miss the desert, so I write about it from my office in the mountains.
4. It's layered. The novel weaves the developing love story of Anna and Lloyd with their fracturing marriage.
5. The opening scenes are based on my own experience in the ER.
6. So far, this is the novel closest to my heart.

My Adult Contemporary Novel, Fractured

Fractured

When Anna Kincaid has a miscarriage, her world comes crashing to a halt. Grief overwhelms her life. However, her husband Lloyd does not see the event as tragic. In fact, not ready to be a father, he is relieved at the news. This creates a chasm in their marriage and splits them apart. Both Anna and Lloyd find themselves moving in different directions. Will their marriage survive the miscarriage, or will it always remain fractured?
