28 Days Tour: Hell?s Angel by Jackie Kessler

Blurb: Where can an angel find comfort? A lonely banished angel sits outside the gates of Paradise, lamenting the joy she has lost. When she is joined by a fallen archangel, she learns that one doesn’t need to be in Heaven to experience bliss.

Hi! I?m Jackie Kessler, and I like to write about demons and angels, among other things. When I heard about the 28 Days of Heart, and that all proceeds would be going to the American Heart Association, I knew I wanted to write a Hell story for it, one that was about connection, and possibly even redemption.

The angel called Angel first appears in my second book, THE ROAD TO HELL, but you don?t need to read it to understand why Angel is alone outside the gates of Paradise…or why she feels so horribly alone. And you don?t need to read the first book, HELL?S BELLES, to know who the archangel is that she meets. (But of course, I hope you **will** read the books!)

?Hell?s Angel? is somewhat of a departure from the Hell on Earth series in that it?s not humorous, it?s not written in first person, and it?s not about the former succubus Jezebel. Whether you?re new to Hell on Earth or if you?ve read all the books and novellas, I think you?ll enjoy the story.

Daydreaming Does a Body Good

My name is Tilly Greene, an erotic romance author, and I confess to being a daydreamer.

Personally, I don?t see anything wrong with letting the mind travel where it will, although my grade school teachers thought it was bad.? Now it does me good, go figure.? Often that is where I come up with ideas for the next story or series.? I can be reading the paper, listening to the radio, or watching tv, and my mind wanders.? It?s great and while much of it is useless, some sticks on the plot pad [the place I keep notes for story ideas].? ?And She Scores? is a result of daydreaming and it offered me more than a stud for a hero.

For instance, I was working on a story to submit to All Romance in response to their call for 28 Days of Heart event, and it was all right, but it felt forced.? Could be because it was about cooking and I don?t cook, but it wasn?t working for me.? So, I took a break, and watched a pre-season football game.? The game was all right and commentators were talking about various players.? Great, so I?d know who would be playing and who wouldn?t, it was good.? After a while, it stopped being interesting and my mind went traveling in another direction:

Gorgeous hero wearing tight football pants, shirtless and sexy, gets the girl, and they walk off into the sunset.

Fabulous idea, time to expand!

With a blink, I picked my laptop back up, and ?And She Scores? was created.? A football stud, returning from what could?ve been a career ending injury, is interviewed by the woman he loves but lost.? Walking to conduct the interview everyone wants, her mind is set on doing the job, and she wouldn?t think about how he didn?t care for her as much as she?d thought.? All common sense leaves her in a rush when she walks into the locker room, ready to do the interview, and he is shirtless, sweating from his workout.? Add in the Santa Ana winds, raging wildfires, and the tension, and Southern California was ready to combust around them.

Interesting how our imaginations work.? So, want to know what could possibly happen between these two, while at a major arena, with a ton of people around them?? To find out, you?ll need to visit?All Romance or?OmniLit, and pick up a copy of ?And She Scores?.? And, to make this even more enjoyable, all proceeds go to benefit the?American Heart Association.

Tilly Greene was born into the easy folds of a sleepy beach town and embraces the laid back mindset she grew up with.? Later, she settled into a polar opposite lifestyle from the one she?d been living by moving abroad to further her education.? Despite the frigid climate, the fast pace existence melded in, making her a person who is adaptable and enjoys experiencing the diversity surrounding her.

While traveling around the world with her husband, she researches and writes erotica and erotic romance novels in a variety of genres and sub-genres.? Every day she looks forward to writing about women who are independent and confident, the men who love them, and their twisting passionate path to each other.

During the month of love, when everyone’s attention is focused on matters of the heart,?AllRomance eBooks (ARe) is helping to fight the number one killer of women, heart disease, with their?28 Days of Heart campaign.

Beginning February 1, 2010, ARe, the digital bookseller that owns All Romance (www.allromance.com) and OmniLit (www.omnilit.com), will release one new novella ?per day for twenty-eight consecutive days. All proceeds from the sale of these shorts will be donated to the American Heart Association.

Mad About Meg, my 28 Days of Heart story, features yet another teacher in my?LowellHigh School?series. Other books have included?Retreat,?Covert Lessons andScoring?all available at Ellora?s Cave. They say ?write what you know? and for me, that?s public education!

Here?s the blurb:

If it weren’t for bad luck, Meg Williams wouldn’t have any luck at all. As if traveling to a tropical island on Valentine’s weekend in a nasty storm isn’t bad enough, she’s doing it alone after finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. Enduring the trip from hell, she arrives on Eden Isle only to discover that her hotel reservation has been lost and there are no vacancies anywhere on the island. Disheartened, Meg heads for the hotel bar.

Rob Madison is used to being in the limelight due his wealth and power. Used to being pursued by women for his fortune. When he meets Meg in the bar and realizes she doesn’t know who he is, he decides to spend the evening as a regular guy. Discovering she doesn?t have a place to stay, he offers to share his penthouse with her.

As the night progresses and their mutual attraction becomes apparent, Meg wonders if her luck has turned, while Rob wonders if one weekend in each other’s arms will be enough?
