Today's featured author is...
Victoria L. James
Author Bio:
Victoria L James is a
teenage girl stuck in a thirty-something year-old's body. Living somewhere 'oop
north' in England, she has had a strong passion for words and stories going as
far back as she can remember, which she credits to her grandmother and her love
of reading anything that was on sale and cheap from the local market stall.
Never once did she think she would release a novel, though. At best, she
thought her love of language and her ability to create stories in her mind
would provide her with a 'get out of jail free' card whenever she messed up and
her parents were mad at her during her teenage years... and when even that
didn't work out, she thought she was pretty much done for.
When an opportunity
presented itself for her to take a back seat from paid working life for a few
years, she knew straight away that she had to try and write about a few of
these worlds she'd come up with along the way, and quieten all the voices in
her head without racking up a heavy psychiatry bill for the pleasure.
Wearing her heart on
her sleeve and trying to lighten her friends’ and family’s lives with naff, and
more often than not, badly-timed, nineties jokes, she has yet to learn the art
of knowing when to shut up. Which is another reason writing became a passion of
hers. With pen and paper, there are no limits.
A firm believer in
never quitting, with a ridiculous obsession for all things Rocky, she hopes
that one day she writes a story that will inspire at least one person out there
to keep on going if they're struggling. Other than that, she's just a regular
old converse wearing, corona sipping, English version of Chandler Bing, who
loves and adores her family more than life itself. Oh, and she also has two
cats. Every writer has to mention their cats, right?

Without Consequence (Babylon #1)
Blurb:
There are two kinds of
prison sentence that try to break us: the ones served behind iron bars and the
ones served through a lifetime of guilt. Some people are handed just one. The
unfortunate are given both.
Drew Tucker, despite
his formidable reputation, was a man shrouded in darkness who had been dealt
every kind of sentence known to man. His only path of survival was to fight and
conquer. After five years of solitude, with nothing to keep him company but old
ghosts and relentless demons, Drew was finally out, and he had a plan in mind
to reign supreme once more.
Without Mercy (Babylon #2)
Blurb:
Ayda Hanagan’s life
took a whole new road to hell when she agreed to lay down beside Babylon’s very
own devil in disguise, Drew Tucker. With an evolving love and the world she
once knew now gone forever, Ayda’s toes were no longer dancing on the edge of
the flames. She’d jumped straight into the fire, dragging her younger brother,
Tate, along for the ride. No matter which way they both turned, Harleys and
leather were their new reality, and they had to get used to the fact that acts
of war and bad blood were never far away.
All that seemed so easy
for Ayda to push aside when she was resting in the arms of the man she never
expected to love, but when lust, need and sex became as important to her as the
air she breathed, it was only going to be a matter of time before reality
decided to slap her around the face harder than ever before.
Lost in the screwed-up
perfection of their new fairytale, Drew and Ayda thought they could handle
anything life threw at them. For every cop, whore or enemy that tried to tear
them apart, they found strength in each other and a new weapon to fight back
with. Only not all assassins wore their patches on their chest, and before they
could even see the eyes of the wolves in the shadows waiting to bring them to
their knees, they were all out of places to run.
With everything they'd
ever believed in suddenly at risk, fear was no longer an option and Drew and
Ayda soon found themselves in the middle of a war that looked impossible to get
out of alive. In order to survive, they had to learn how to fight together.
Without restriction.
Without thought.
Without mercy.
Even if that meant
sacrificing everything they’d worked for, including each other.
But everything had
changed since he’d left the small town of Babylon, Texas, and where he once fit
into the world around him, he now felt misguided, misplaced and misunderstood.
Freedom wasn’t free anymore and it sure as hell didn’t come cheap.
That only got worse
when he crossed paths with Ayda Hanagan. Legal guardian of her teenage brother,
over worked, underpaid and clinging onto sanity by the skin of her teeth, Ayda
should have been easier for Drew to beat down and manipulate. She should have
been easier to keep quiet. But, as with everything in his life since he got
released, nothing seemed to make any damn sense, and the walls were caving in
on Drew now more than ever before.
Determined to stay on
the road he was born to travel, he was willing to fight whoever got in his way
or blocked his path to the top. Even the blue-eyed blonde who seemed to have
more mouth than sense. His actions were about to shake up the whole town again,
and Drew didn’t care whether that came with or without consequences, or what the
hell that meant for the likes of Ayda Hanagan.
Izzy Moffit's Road to Wonderland (Road to
Wonderland #1)

Blurb:
Making it to seventeen
in one piece isn’t usually a concern for your average teenager, but if there’s
one thing Isabella Moffit has never been, it’s average. Dragged through life by
parents who couldn’t care less and surrounded by violence on a daily basis,
Izzy reaches that epic birthday milestone in her life with only one person to
thank for getting her there: her best friend and soul sister, Paris Hemsworth.
Vowing to stand side by
side through thick and thin since they were four years old, the two of them
have made it this far and are confident that now is their time to tackle the
world head on, one shaky, naive little footstep at a time.
Except they have no
idea what awaits them both on the other side of adulthood, and before either
one of them can strap on their hard hat, they’re taking so many knocks and
bruises that Izzy’s childhood suddenly seems like a stroll in the park.
Dodging as many bullets
as they can along the way, Izzy tries to hold on to Paris’ hand for as long as
possible without either one of them slipping away. But no-one ever told them
how rough their journey would be. No-one told them that friends and family
would change or leave along the way. And no-one told them that for every good
intention they have, there’s a thousand people out there with bad ones, waiting
to rip them apart.
Follow Izzy’s journey
in part one of the Road to Wonderland series - a coming of age novel with a
difference, where you’ll face tears, tantrums, laughter and heartbreak, but
above all else, hope. Hope that no matter what life throws your way, it’s all
part of setting you on the right path to your very own Wonderland and that,
more often than not, everything happens for a reason.
