Urban Fantasy Fiction Authors And The Books They Write

Paranormal romance novels have become a very popular book choice for many readers in the last couple of years. Falling into the contemporary term of Urban Fantasy as a section of Fantasy Fiction. Certainly the Twilight Series has done much for the popularity of these types of stories, but there are many great novels on the book shelves of stores and the virtual aisles of the internet just waiting to be read.

Many folks probably immediately think of Vampire romance when they think of paranormal novels but there are many other types of creatures that are being written about. I would like to introduce you today to some authors who are excelling in writing romance with a paranormal twist.

Perfect for Halloween reading or any time of the year.

Faith Hunter Author Of Paranormal Romance

The Jane Yellowrock Series

I am in the middle of reading this Paranormal Series of books by Faith Hunter. The main character is Jane Yellowrock who is of Cherokee descent and is a Skinwalker. As far as she can tell, she just may be the last of her kind on earth. Jane has been hired by the New Orleans council of Vampires to kill rogue Vamps because she is very good at what she does. Not only does she work for the "good" (is there such a thing?) Vamps of the city but she encounters some pretty nasty ones too. She has a lot of contact with the blood servants during the day when the Vampires are unavailable but she meets all sorts of other paranormals too. Her best friend is a powerful witch who is called upon sometimes to cast spells of protection for Jane. One of the things that I find fascinating while reading Hunter's books is most of the time we are reading Jane's account of what is happening in the story. However, when she shifts into Beast (a mountain lion) we get the narrative from the animals perspective and Hunter does a fantastic job of making you feel like you are experiencing the story from an animals point of view.

This really is one of the better written paranormal series that I have read. Faith Hunter tells a very good story with some romance threaded throughout and a very interesting storyline to follow. It is really difficult for me to put the book down, once I have started to read it.

Paranormal Romance With A Western Twist

Haunted Twist Of Fate CoverAuthor Stacey Coverstone loves to write Western Romance novels and every once in a while she is known to write a good old fashioned ghost story. Stacey has combined her love of the west and her love of a spooky story and created a new paranormal romance novel that will just knock your boots off!

I had the honor of getting an advanced reading copy of her latest paranormal romance novel, A Haunted Twist of Fate which is due to be released in hardcover around December 16, 2011. I won't go into a lot of detail on this page because I plan to do a full blown review of her newest (and I think best so far) novel.

Suffice it to say she wrote a wonderful romance and put it into a modern day western town with a long history dating back to the "old west" in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Her main characters seem to have been fated to find each other. Shay Brennan buys an old saloon and decides to start some new roots as she tries to get over the loss of her parents. Her realtor and eventual romantic interest happens to be Colt Morgan, a life long resident of the town. On the first night in her old saloon she is visited by a ghost of a young girl who pleads for Shay to help her. The plot thickens as a second ghost appears to have nothing on his mind but to do Shay some harm. He most definitely wants Shay out of the building and in no way wants her to help the first ghost.

Stacey weaves a wonderful story around two wounded people who come together to try to figure out what the connection to them and the ghosts in the saloon is, solve the old mystery, and see if they can put down their walls of defense long enough to find true happiness.

    I have just found a wonderful paranormal novelist you should check out. Her ability to create characters that come alive is incredible. Her name is Devin O'Branagan and I recommend anything she writes. I made a couple of lenses about her.
    As soon as I get money for anything other than free Kindle books, I'm going to have to check these out.

    Oh, I love it when you recommend books for me :) This sounds like a genre I would definitely enjoy. Today I am visiting the Book category during our "back to school" bus tour and I just had to stop here and leave my blessing.

    I've been reading some books by Laurell K. Hamilton who was recommended to me by a librarian friend after I devoured the Twilight books. I can't put these books down either.

    This reminds me that I want to make a lens featuring the vintage novel, Tryst by Elswyth Thane. It's the best ghost romance ever!
