Black Moon Blog Tour with J.D. Tyler

Book Monster Reviews and LITERAL ADDICTION are very pleased to welcome award-winning author J.D. Tyler (aka Jo Davis) back to our sites today for her BLACK MOON Blog Tour.

J.D. Tyler is an award-winning, former Golden Heart finalist, multi-published author who developed a lucrative side business in the third grade writing and illustrating ten-page stories, then charging classmates twenty-five cents each to buy them, she discovered a calling that would last a lifetime.  Breathing life into the colorful characters crowding her head and sharing their dark, decadent world with her readers proved a temptation too powerful to resist.  She is now an active member of the Romance Writers of America, she’s been a finalist in the Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence and has captured the HOLT Medallion Award of Merit (Woo Hoo…You go J.D.!!!!).

When she isn’t writing, J.D.’s idea of a good time certainly isn’t cleaning house (sniff), bungee jumping (not in this lifetime, or the next), or camping (her idea of “roughing it” is a slow bellboy). She enjoys reading, being pampered like the diva she is, and spending time with her awesome family. She lives in Texas with her own dashing hero and two teenage children.

J.D. Tyler writes for New American Library under three pseudonyms (Jo Davis, J.D. Tyler and Jo Carlisle). Whether this is due to an overdose of ambition or a multiple personality affliction, she’ll never tell.  What we do know is that no matter the name she chooses to write under every book she writes is smokin' hot and leaves you craving more.  Let us give you some in depth detail about J.D.'s multiple pseudonyms and the amazing tales she tells.

Jo Carlisle’s erotic tales, whether edgy paranormal or realistic contemporary, carry her readers on a fast-paced ride of danger and forbidden passions. Embattled heroes fight for the love of the strong-willed mates who melt their emotional and sexual boundaries and free their souls…even as their enemies circle in for the kill.

Jo invites you to leave your troubles behind, step into another world, and lose yourself in wicked pleasure for a while.  RAINA'S FANTASY was released in June 2008 and she also has a new series called the Lords Of Pleasure.

Jo Davis writes hot romantic suspense for Signet Eclipse. Her sexy series, The FIREFIGHTERS OF STATION FIVE (another of my (Carla's) all time favorite series!), launched in August 2008 with TRIAL BY FIRE amid rave reviews from Barbara Vey of Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic Times Book Reviews, Romance Junkies, and more. Michelle Buonfiglio of Romance B(u)y The Book named TRIAL BY FIRE  “YEAR’S BEST CONTEMPORARY” and “DEBUT OF THE YEAR” on her list of The Best Romance Reads of 2008. UNDER FIRE debuted in May 2009 on the Bookscan bestseller list and HIDDEN FIRE debuted in December 2009 on the Bookscan bestseller list and took #11 on the Ingram bestseller list.  LINE OF FIRE the fourth book in the series was released in May 2010 and was followed by the highly anticipated fifth book, and in the series RIDE THE FIRE which is the final book in the series.

Jo also has a new series coming out with Signet Eclipse called SUGARLAND BLUE, which is a spin-off of THE FIREFIGHTERS OF STATION FIVE series.  The first in the series, "Armed and Dangerous" (an eBook novella) will be released April 2, 2013 followed by the first full length novel "Sworn to Protect" which will release on May 7, 2013

Jo also writes scorching erotic suspense for NAL including the SHADO Agency series which currently has three books in the series I SPY A WICKED SIN, I SPY A NAUGHTY GAME and I SPY A DARK OBSESSION.  Jo also has her first thriller, WHEN ALEX WAS BAD,  which has also earned excellent reviews, including a 4 ½ Star Top Pick rating and is in development as a major motion picture with Mandalay Pictures. The book-to-film deal sold to Academy Award-winning producer Cathy Schulman, President of Mandalay Pictures, who took home the Best Picture Oscar for Crash in 2006. 

J.D. Tyler, likes to write dark, sexy paranormal romance and has a huge thing for shifters, vampires, the Fae, and just about everything else that goes bump and grind in the night. She can’t get enough of those dangerous supernatural heroes, and the fun of creating her own was just too much temptation to resist… so she didn’t. J.D. doesn’t do self-denial. 

J.D. is the creator of the uber fabulous ALPHA PACK series, which currently has two books "Primal Law" and "Savage Awakening" and one eBook novella "Black Magic" in the series.  The third  book "Black Moon" will be released tomorrow and we are here to help J.D. celebrate and promote it today!

The Top Ten Things Readers Need To Know About The Alpha Pack

By J.D. Tyler

When starting any new series, especially one that contains a detailed paranormal world, there are certain things it’s helpful to know beforehand. So, when Carla asked me to share the top ten things that readers should know about the Alpha Pack, I thought that was a great idea!

Without further ado, here’s some important insight into the Alpha Pack world, Letterman-style:

10. The original members of the Pack were Navy SEALs stationed in Afghanistan. While on assignment, they were attacked by rogue wolf shifters and turned. The government then helped them form the Alpha Pack—a black ops team of shifters that helps protect the world from lethal human and non-human predators.

9. Each shifter possesses at least one type of Psy gift, such as moving objects with the mind, starting fires, seeing the future or the past, speaking telepathically to another person, teleporting, speaking to ghosts, etc.  

8. Once a shifter meets his mate, he has a limited amount of time to claim her before he becomes sick. Remaining unmated after that will ultimately result in death.

7. Shifters do not need protection when they make love, as they do not naturally carry or pass STD’s.

6. Though sexually insatiable, a male shifter cannot impregnate a female who is not his true mate. He also cannot become aroused by another female once he has met his mate.

5. The Alpha Pack team was created, but their commander, Nick Westfall, is a born shifter. The team has no idea that their leader is more than two hundred years old and carries the burden of a tragic past.

4. The original team members (Navy SEALs that were turned) are: Jaxon Law (silver wolf, RetroCog), Aric Savage (red wolf, Firestarter/Telekinetic ), Zander Cole (black wolf, Healer), Ryon Hunter (silver wolf, Channeler/Telepath), Raven DeLuca (black wolf/TBD), Micah Chase (brown wolf, Dreamwalker), and Phoenix (TBD).

3. Newer Pack members: Commander Nick Westfall (rare white born wolf, former FBI Special Agent/PreCog), John “Hammer” Ryder (silver wolf/former FBI Special Agent/Tracer), Kalen Black (Sorcerer/Necromancer/black panther shifter), Rowan Chase (recently turned silver wolf/Dreamwalker, mated to Aric Savage, sister to Micah), and A.J. Stone (human, former SWAT sniper)

2. The compound where the Alpha Pack lives and works is technically called The Institute of Parapsychology. The Institute employs doctors and scientists who study the shifters and other paranormal creatures, striving to keep them healthy. A hospital is also housed in the compound.

And the Number One thing readers should know about the Alpha Pack is…

1.   Smoking. Hot. Navy SEAL. Shifters. Perhaps that’s all you really needed to know.
