Just Released-Valhalla by Mandy M Roth

Mandy M. Roth — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:12:45 +0000

It’s hard to be good when the other side is oh, so bad.

The Valkyrie, Book 2

Linnea isn’t exactly happy with her life as one of Odin’s handmaidens, but she has always done what is expected of her. Yet all the while she knows the truth—the Valkyries are stretched thinner every day. And now Evil has stopped playing by the rules and started recruiting minions from the supernatural gene pool.

Her newest assignment: counter the vampires’ plan by seeking out brave male souls with supernatural powers to join Valhalla’s cause. Leaping through waterfalls of time and into legendary battles has never bothered her before, but even with her magic, it’s tough to beat the bloodsuckers to the best warriors before they can be turned.

She never expected her quest to bring her face to face with love, in the form of Kerr Laochailan. Their innocent temptation flares into desire, so hot and fast it attracts the wrong kind of attention. In a cruel joke of fate, Kerr is torn from her. Yet her mission goes on. And Fate isn’t through playing tricks on the lovers yet, nor is it done introducing lovers to her bed…

Warning: This book contains a butt-kicking female, torn between her love of a stubborn Scottish vampire and a super-sexy Italian blood sucker. Oh, and a lot of fight scenes.

They Call Me Trixie: Encounter One

Erotic Short Story

Being an escort is easy…if you know the Trix of the trade.

They call me Trixie. I’m whatever you need me to be. Some like me to bend to their whim. Some like me to take charge. Others just like to take me, any way they can. I’m not ashamed of my job. It pays the bills and sometimes—I get off on it. I don’t have those puritanical hangups most Americans do. I like men. I like women. Mostly, I like to make money. Peek inside my world. I dare you. Be warned, my story is short and it is not a romance. It does not have a happily ever after.
Warning: This short story contains kink to the extreme and no romantic thread.

Its official. I have almost all of my backlist works out and for sale once more. I’m sorry about the delay and the shuffle. I’m sure you can all understand that sometimes life hands you lemons and what you make of them is up to you. I have just a few back titles left and then they’ll all be officially available for purchase once more. For everyone who has stuck by my side through this, no fears, I have LOTS and LOTS more books in the series planned and a good number of them already done. They just needed me to get my act together and get the first ones in the series out into readers hands. Be on the look out for much, much more from me. I hope you all are as excited as I am to be back in full writing mode.

My cover art break was much needed but I’m back now. Consider yourselves warned *grin* .

Marking with Mandy: The Art of Cover Art-Faces

Mandy M. Roth — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 07:20:53 +0000

Sometimes, an author wonders why it is they’re getting a cover without a full face on it. The answer is simple–marketing. Studies and market research have shown that buyers prefer the change to envision their own face for the hero. They like a bit of mystery to it. A reason to pick up the book. Take a look at some of your favorite covers. Do they have full faces? If so, is the face partially obscured by something else… hair maybe? A shadow? Is there a layer of mystery to it or is everything on the cover spelled out for you?

Marketing with Mandy: Creating Vector Images is Easy and Fun!

Mandy M. Roth — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:28:29 +0000

I’m often asked if its hard to make a vector image. The answer is simple, if you have photoshop, no. Vectors are pretty easy to create and can be a lot of fun–allowing you to be as creative as you want to be. I was all set to write out a long picture filled demo for you but then I found one online is perfect so I’ll share it with you here.

Enjoy, be creative and be sure to post links to your creations. I’d love to see them.
