*Pretty formatted post (with giveaway) is over on our Coastal Magic Featured Authors page of the website.

Hello, my literal addicts! Coastal Magic’s fearless leader, Jennifer, thought it might be fun to have some of our Featured Authors join us for a few “end of the year” posts. Each day this week, there will be a new topic. Some days one author will fill the post, some days, we’ll have a few different authors sharing their thoughts. And, like today, some of the Featured Bloggers (like us!) are even getting in on the fun.

Here are our topics for the week: be sure to check back (or subscribe to the Coastal Magic blog) to see what our authors (or maybe even their characters) have to say about each day’s theme.

Monday: Book I’m Most Looking Forward To In 2016 (NOT My Own!)
Tuesday: Favorite Line (and Why) From My OWN 2015 Title
Wednesday: Something I’d Like To Learn To Do In 2016
Thursday: Habit I’d Like To Break In 2016
Friday: A Toast To The New Year

Today’s guest Featured Author for Day #4 is Jan DeLima. Make sure to check out what she had to say and grab a copy of the books she speaks of… OH, and she’s giving away a copy of books #1 - #3 so make sure to enter for that!

Habit I’d like to break in 2016:

I’m not a resolution type of person, since I’ve become comfortable with most of my habits, good and bad, but as every January approaches I will inevitably dust off the treadmill and make an attempt to exercise routinely, if only for thirty minutes a day.  Sounds easy, doesn’t it?  If only I could make that a habit!  Anyone who has, you have my admiration!
What I will end up doing is grabbing a second cup of coffee and sitting down to my computer to answer emails, and by the time I open my latest manuscript to write, I’ve lost half the morning.  So, the habit I would like to change is to move my Internet time to lunch and get on that treadmill before my first cup of coffee, that way my mornings are purely for writing when my imagination is awake and ready to create.  We’ll see how it goes.    

May you all have a wonderful and creative New Year!
Jan

Like father, like son…

Sophie Thibodeau has been on the run from the father of her son for more than fifteen years. Now her son, Joshua, is changing, and her greatest fears are about to be realized. He’s going to end up being just like his father—a man who can change into a wolf.

Dylan Black has been hunting for Sophie since the night she ran from him—an obsession he cannot afford in the midst of an impending war. Dylan controls Rhuddin Village, an isolated town in Maine where he lives with an ancient Celtic tribe. One of the few of his clan who can still shift into a wolf, he must protect his people from the Guardians, vicious warriors who seek to destroy them.

When Sophie and Dylan come together for the sake of their son, their reunion reignites the fierce passion they once shared. For the first time in years, Dylan’s lost family is within his grasp. But will he lose them all over again? Are Joshua and Sophie strong enough to fight alongside Dylan in battle? Nothing less than the fate of his tribe depends on it…

She won’t be ruled again…

Rosa Alban has been obedient her entire life. But when her alpha husband dies, she seizes the opportunity to flee the oppressive Guardians—the rulers of the secret shapeshifter world. Her flight instantly brands her as a pack traitor, and she has no choice but to seek protection from a neighboring tribe by marrying one of their sons.

Known as the Beast of Merin, Luc Black loyally plays the part of unwanted son and devoted brother. He realizes marrying Rosa will strengthen his tribe’s territory, but he has no intention of loving ever again. Still, he’s unprepared for the intense physical need the wild she-wolf awakens in him.

When the Guardians hone in on Rosa, Luc must fight to protect his new bride. And as war descends, the unlikely allies discover their destinies are irrevocably entwined…

The author of Summer Moon returns to her “great werewolf world,”* where war looms and love may be the key to saving all of shifter kind…

For centuries, Cormack has lived between worlds—a man trapped in the body of a wolf, shunned by humans and shifters alike. Only one person has ever welcomed his company: Elen, a kindred outcast who is feared by others of her ancient Celtic race for her strange healing abilities. Cormack has always valued Elen’s kindness and understanding, but after a desperate act of friendship causes Elen to free him from his curse, he realizes he wants more. He wants all of her—completely and forever.

Except before Cormack can win Elen’s heart, Pendaran, the evil leader of the Guardians, captures her, determined to manipulate her incredible power to aid him in his twisted war against the shapeshifting tribes. Now Cormack must use all of his skills as a warrior and a wolf to save the woman he loves—before Pendaran’s vile schemes destroy them all…
