But ex-cons and cops don’t mix, especially when this particular ex-con is looking at going back to prison for his involvement with A.T.L.

All Beth wants is a fun distraction from the stress of her job and law school. She thinks she's found that when she meets Shane during an airboat tour through the Florida Everglades. But Shane’s a felon, a man who could destroy her career as a deputy, and jeopardize her future as an attorney. She doesn’t know what to do—until dead bodies start showing up around the county.

Synopsis

When one of Julia’s elderly clients, Douglas Pedley, is found dead at the bottom of his stairs, it is soon obvious that he was murdered.  Julia first suspects the building contractors who have been hounding Douglas to sell his land and property.  It’s not long before another suspect appears.  Julia is determined to find out who murdered the old man.

Excerpt

     Julia was the first to discover Douglas’ dead body.  With hindsight she should have acted quicker and warned Cain to divert Nina.  As it was, Julia was too shocked to move.  From the second she had entered the house, Julia had sensed that something was wrong.  Some instinct had told her to go to the stairs.

Thank you for joining us on the Virtual Book Tour for Mermen (10 May 2015), the first instalment in the Mermen Trilogy, a new paranormal romance series by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, who wants to make something very clear:

"These Mermen Don’t Have Tails, They’re Deadly as Hell, and They’ve Got Something He Wants…

Anyone who has read the Accidental Series or King knows I love to flip things on their heads. Mermen is no exception. THIS IS NOT A FLUFFY STORY ABOUT men with fins and tails who sweep ladies off their feet and make them long to be mermaids. Uh-uh. This is NOT that kind of story. Nobody in their right mind would want to hang out with these very beautiful yet dangerous men (who don't actually have tails, fins, or gills, by the way) NOR would anyone want to be their mates. Well, at least, not me! Run. Away!!"

MerMadman, the second part is also available now, with the final part MerCiles coming in November 2015.

During this tour Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is giving away the following 10 prizes:

✍ Permanent Spring Showers - Scott D. Southard

Genre: Literary Fiction
Published 4 February 2015 by 5 Prince Publishing
Number of pages: 472

My rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★   It was exceptional (minus)

About the author | VBT Spotlight | from the Author

"Professor Rebecca Stanley-Wilson is having a very bad season. Her husband has just admitted to having an affair. And it was with one of her students.

Blame it on a desire for revenge (or way too much alcohol), she then has had one of her own. Unfortunately for her, her affair was with one of the great upcoming painters of his generation. The ramifications of that one torrid evening will not only be felt across her life but over the entire art world.

Sexy, funny, and very surprising, Permanent Spring Showers is the tale of one very memorable springtime and how it impacts a group of unique artists and dreamers. From the writer who is creating a new literary movement (through outright manipulation), to the hopeful Olympian with the failing marriage, to the romantic wondering what he did wrong to drive his love from him, each tale walks the line between reality and fantasy. And waiting at the end of the line is a very important painting… and possibly the revolver used in the Lincoln Assassination. "
