Dragon Tamer, Book One
Dragons versus slayers in a war centuries old. Lies and loss. What will happen when the truth is unfolded?
Destined to Slay
In the small homestead of Dronias, where monsters terrorize, young Julianna is a dragon killer – or so she’s been trained. Destined to be one of the great slayers like generations before her, Julianna is eager to fulfill her destiny of defending her village.
A Sword Infused with Power
On her eighteenth birthday, she embarks on a journey to kill her first dragon, a right of passage like so many before her. Magic Goblin sword in hand, Julianna tracks down her beastly target but finds herself unable to deliver the final blow.
A War Centuries Old
In her moment of weakness, with sword poised, Julianna suddenly finds herself no longer staring down the emerald eyes of a dragon. Instead, a handsome young dragon shifter named Ash is staring up at her with beseeching eyes.
Danger and Betrayal
Forced into an unlikely alliance in an attempt to prevent a needless and bloody war between their nations, Julianna and Ash must survive a world where danger lurks around every corner, and where not everyone is hoping for peace.
A young adult sword and sorcery adventure, Slayer is an epic fantasy novel packed with plenty of action, twists, thrills, and magic. The first book in the Dragon Tamer series by USA TODAY bestselling authors Armitage and Culican, Slayer is sure to have readers begging for more.

JA Culican bio:
J.A. Culican is a teacher by day and a writer by night. She lives in New Jersey with her husband of eleven years and their four young children.
J.A. Culican’s inspiration to start writing came from her children and their love for all things magical. Bedtime stories turned to reality after her oldest daughter begged her for the book from which her stories of dragons came from. In turn, the series The Keeper of Dragons was born.
Connect With JA Culican!
JA Armitage bio:
Born in a small town, J.Armitage longed for adventure and travel.
Age 20 she moved to Dublin, then to San Diego, then Sydney and back to California where she did a brief stint working at Universal Studios being a minder to Sponge Bob.
Age 20 she moved to Dublin, then to San Diego, then Sydney and back to California where she did a brief stint working at Universal Studios being a minder to Sponge Bob.
Once back in Britain she got married, had babies and decided to write about the adventure she was now missing out on. She works full time, is a mum to three kids and has had a surrogate baby.
She has skydived twice (and survived), climbed Kilimanjaro and hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. She has also worked as a professional clown and banana picker amongst other jobs. Somehow she finds time to write.

Hey Everybody, my name is Xyla Turner and I’m a new romance
author who has decided to spread her wings in the many different genres that
I’ve grown to love. I’m so excited that you’ve taken the time to tune in about my
story that is included in the Dark Legends, this awesome, box set.

I’ve grown to love. I’m so excited that you’ve taken the time to tune in about my
story that is included in the Dark Legends, this awesome, box set.
Hello, Xyla! You had me at mid-air sex scene! But, let’s get started. How long have you been a writer and how did you come to
writing?
writing?
I’ve been
writing since I was a teenager but I finally published an inspirational and
children’s book in 2012. My first romance novel, The Chase, was published in
2015 and it was inspired through a bit of internal unrest. I was at a
crossroads in my life and didn’t know what to do. So, I decided to either write
about what I wanted for my life or sit and cry about it all. Thankfully, I
decided to write and four days later, fifty-five thousand words were written
and I haven’t stopped writing since.

and I haven’t stopped writing since.
How did you come up with this storyline?
This
storyline was in connection with a collaboration with two awesome authors, Olivia
Gaines and Tiana Laveen. We had central connecting characters who were at the
same company but they were very strange and supernatural. My book, Broken
Treaty, features Sage, a one-hundred and thirty-year old vampire who meets a
woman, that is not from his tribe and she has him breaking all the rules. I
love when strong men are broken by the natural wiles of their true mate.

What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?
The best aspects of writing include creating a new world
that you enter in and can build from scratch with your own ideas. The funny
part about that, is the characters have a mind of their own, so I guess it’s
not entirely your world. The worst aspects of writing for me is the aftermath.
After, I type “The End,” the hard work starts. Edits, edits and more edits.
Reading, reading and more reading, more edits, more drafts and the cycle seems
to never end. This work, for me, is tedious.

Reading, reading and more reading, more edits, more drafts and the cycle seems
to never end. This work, for me, is tedious.
What inspires you to write?
Life! I need nothing but to walk down my street to think of
a story. My inspiration to write is really to get the stories and characters
out of my head. Tell their story, so that in some small way, so many of our own
stories are told. It’s something to read about a character that is ‘you’. I
love when readers can connect but I love when they say, ‘that is me.’ It
reminds us we’re not alone in the world.

How did you conduct your research for Broken Treaty?
This was my first paranormal romance, so I did a variety of
research including online searches, re-watching a few of my favorite vampire
movies again, checked out some paranormal books and asking readers their
thoughts about major changes to vampire’s stories. It was interesting that
readers were not open for alterations of the traditional vampire.

Are reader reviews important to you?
Oddly enough, reader’s reviews are important to me. As I
said before, I’m a fairly new author, so the more constructive feedback, the
better.

adulthood.

life at the Yucatán’s hottest island resort. She has a dream job caring for

Dante isn’t the typical human Alessa believes him to be.
He’s a hippocampus, a water horse shifter from the Mediterranean. Each year,
his herd migrates back to the island to feed and bear their young in the
tranquil turquoise waters. There is no safer place in all the world for the
hippocampi – but for Dante, time is running out.

is changing about their relationship.

Hey, everyone, I’m Vivienne, or Vivi if you prefer. I’m
happy to answer your burning questions about my work.
happy to answer your burning questions about my work.
Hello, Vivi!! It is great having you join us! How long have you been a writer and how did you come to
writing?
writing?
I’ve been writing professionally for about 3 years now.
Wow, that time has flown by. Before that, though, I would write for fun. Stuff
that should probably never see the light of day, if I could ever find it.
Wow, that time has flown by. Before that, though, I would write for fun. Stuff
that should probably never see the light of day, if I could ever find it.
What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?
The best is really getting to put my ideas and thoughts
out there in a tangible way. I get to share my stories and most of the time,
people to seem to love them. As for the worst, I’d have to say marketing. It
takes up a lot of time – time that I could be using to write instead of filling
out endless forms. A necessary evil, I’m afraid.

takes up a lot of time – time that I could be using to write instead of filling
out endless forms. A necessary evil, I’m afraid.
What inspires you to write?
Life. Things that have happened to me, whether with my
family, friends, or while attending school or work. I have friends, too, who
will tell me a funny story about what their significant other did. After we’re
done laughing I’ll ask if I can use that for a character.

will tell me a funny story about what their significant other did. After we’re
done laughing I’ll ask if I can use that for a character.
How did you come up with this storyline?
You know what, I don’t remember exactly what inspired
Making Waves. I wanted to show more supernatural creatures in the world than
what you normally see, and I was bored with the usual bears and wolves. So I
got to thinking about mermaids and water horses, which led to a fun, beachy
read.

beings like unicorns and phoenixes.
How did you conduct your research for Making Waves?
I watched a few documentaries on deep sea research and
marine biology. One of my children is a Nat Geo lover, so we spent hours
watching videos about ocean life and the food chain. Between that and movies
like Happy Feet, I cobbled together my own ideas. By the way, if you’re a David
Tennant fan, I recommend Dolphins: Spy in the Pod. He narrates the entire thing
for the BBC and his voice is ear-sex.

What is one of your favorite funny scenes from Making
Waves?
Waves?
In this scene, my heroine Alessa is convincing her boss
to expand the resort’s mermaid attraction by including men. I love this scene
because the resort owner is actually a dragon shifter, and they love money.

Are reader reviews important to you?
Reviews are important to every author. Not just so we can
qualify for certain promotions or get better views on retailers, but because
they also help me improve. I will go through my bad reviews and make a serious
effort to improve where they say I’m weak.

What do you do when you don’t write?
What’s free time? Kidding.
I spend time with my kids, play with my pet menagerie (I
have two dogs, guinea pigs, a pair of geckos, and a conure who might as well be
a toddler), read, and play video games.

Demon hunter, Levi Walker eliminates the bastards using
divine weapons. One monster at a time until he tracks down the demonic filth
that killed his best friend. So when he finally corners the beast, it’s payback
time. But with the newest hunting recruit making an appearance and catching him
off guard—the same minx who broke his heart months earlier—the fight takes a
deadly twist. The demon targets Cary, but in Levi’s attempt to save her, they
both get marked for death.

Cary Stone’s secret will get her thrown into Hell faster
than a demon jacked up on virgin blood. Born a half-demon, she’s always
followed her father’s instruction—never get close to anyone, never stay too
long in one place, and always work alone. Except this past year, she’s managed
to break every single rule by getting a job hunting demons, falling insanely
for Levi, and getting them both on the hit list by the biggest mercenary in
Hell. But revealing her secret to Levi comes with the complication of him
attempting to exorcise her. Whichever way she turns, death awaits. All she
really wants is a normal life and a chance with Levi, but looks like that’s a
fantasy she’ll never have.

Silence floated between them with nothing but the sound of

their clothes off to jump a naked hunk reasonable behavior. Cary had lost focus
on anything but Levi’s body mashed against hers. His warm breath on her face.

Beneath his gaze, she melted. He offered her a temporary
fairytale escape. With his hand threading through her hair, drawing her closer,
every nerve in her body stood on end. She raised herself on tippy toes and
tilted her head back to reach his mouth. He leaned forward, his soft lips
grazing hers. Fire shot through her body.

While I’ve only been writing for about five
years, I like to think that a writer has always been living inside my head. I
grew up listening to bedtime Romanian stories that could only be compared to
the Brothers Grimm tales, and ever since then folklore and mythology has
fascinated me. I remember as a child, I enjoyed scribbling stories on pieces of
papers and on the inside of book covers. I even signed the books as if they
were my own. Let’s just say, my sister wasn’t impressed when she found her
books written on. It was years later when I fell ill with a horrible flu that I
pulled out my laptop out and decided to type up some of my ideas. And ever

How did you come up with this storyline?
Well, funny story. I was going through this
phase of watching Supernatural and Dog the Bounty Hunter shows… addicted is a
better way to describe it, anyway, after getting my fix, a story came together
in my mind. A half-demon hiding in plain sight in the human world and working
alongside the country’s best demon hunter. What could possibly go wrong… right?

Mark

Lots and lots of reading on the topics I’m
writing. Much of this was done online. So in Demon’s Mark, I did extensive
research on how priests exorcise possessions, understanding the hierarchy of
demons, what exactly are hellhounds and their abilities (You’ve want to meet
Blinkie in Demon’s Mark!!). I also watched lots of YouTube videos to really see
the streets of Detroit and Ann Arbor as I’ve never been there.

III from The Company refuses to work with her.
His aversion to Jessica turns into a kiss that literally
has both of them off their feet. Floating in midair? Then a bite on her neck?

There are too many secrets and Jessica soon finds herself

treaties.

stay away from Jessica. However, he finds himself at her office and all bets
are off)
I slammed the door, stood there in front and took off my
gloves. If I had to have a lasting impression on my hands and body, it would be

“Are you alright?” She asked.
“No,” I growled. “I’m not alright.”
She rounded the desk and started walking towards me.
“Oh my God, what’s wrong?”
“Stop,” I snapped and held up my hand.
I was hanging on by a fucking thread. It felt like I had
been in the sun for hours and was about to combust. What was happening to me?

I stopped myself because she would think I was bat-shit

I took a deep breath in an attempt to gain my composure.
“No, I’m fine.”
“No, I’m fine.”
She inched towards me again with one hand out.
“Sage, can I take a look at you? You don’t look good.”
She was so close her scent stung my nostrils, and if I had
tear ducts, they would have leaked. Her hand touched my face, and I knew that
presence would stay there for days.

I grabbed her wrist and jerked her towards me. My lips
crashed down on hers and for a brief moment, she submitted to me and let me
take my fill of her. Her lips were soft, pliable and open for me. My hands
began to roam her body and landed on her ass so that I could feel that for
days. Her hands gripped both of my arms right before she abruptly pulled back.

Hey Everybody, my name is Xyla Turner and I’m a new romance

I’ve grown to love. I’m so excited that you’ve taken the time to tune in about my
story that is included in the Dark Legends, this awesome, box set.

I’ve grown to love. I’m so excited that you’ve taken the time to tune in about my
story that is included in the Dark Legends, this awesome, box set.
Hello, Xyla! You had me at mid-air sex scene! But, let’s get started. How long have you been a writer and how did you come to
writing?
writing?
I’ve been
writing since I was a teenager but I finally published an inspirational and
children’s book in 2012. My first romance novel, The Chase, was published in
2015 and it was inspired through a bit of internal unrest. I was at a
crossroads in my life and didn’t know what to do. So, I decided to either write
about what I wanted for my life or sit and cry about it all. Thankfully, I
decided to write and four days later, fifty-five thousand words were written
and I haven’t stopped writing since.

How did you come up with this storyline?
This
storyline was in connection with a collaboration with two awesome authors, Olivia
Gaines and Tiana Laveen. We had central connecting characters who were at the
same company but they were very strange and supernatural. My book, Broken
Treaty, features Sage, a one-hundred and thirty-year old vampire who meets a
woman, that is not from his tribe and she has him breaking all the rules. I
love when strong men are broken by the natural wiles of their true mate.

What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?
The best aspects of writing include creating a new world
that you enter in and can build from scratch with your own ideas. The funny
part about that, is the characters have a mind of their own, so I guess it’s
not entirely your world. The worst aspects of writing for me is the aftermath.
After, I type “The End,” the hard work starts. Edits, edits and more edits.
Reading, reading and more reading, more edits, more drafts and the cycle seems
to never end. This work, for me, is tedious.

Reading, reading and more reading, more edits, more drafts and the cycle seems

What inspires you to write?
Life! I need nothing but to walk down my street to think of
a story. My inspiration to write is really to get the stories and characters
out of my head. Tell their story, so that in some small way, so many of our own
stories are told. It’s something to read about a character that is ‘you’. I
love when readers can connect but I love when they say, ‘that is me.’ It
reminds us we’re not alone in the world.

How did you conduct your research for Broken Treaty?
This was my first paranormal romance, so I did a variety of
research including online searches, re-watching a few of my favorite vampire
movies again, checked out some paranormal books and asking readers their
thoughts about major changes to vampire’s stories. It was interesting that
readers were not open for alterations of the traditional vampire.

What would your friends say is your best quality?
My friends think I have an active imagination, I’m a problem
solver and I have great ideas.

Are reader reviews important to you?
Oddly enough, reader’s reviews are important to me. As I
said before, I’m a fairly new author, so the more constructive feedback, the
better.

What do you do when you don’t write?
Usually, I hang out with my family, my nieces and nephews,
catch up on my television shows or do some sort of extreme sport.

Tell us about your other books?
Most of my other books are about alpha men and the sassy
women who tame them. They are diverse, sexy and for grown people. I’m starting
another series in another genre, New Adult, that will feature the collegiate
atmosphere but also incorporate sexy characters and the growing pains of
adulthood.

My motto is Switch the Style Up and this is something that
I’ve done as an author because I don’t like to be boxed into one category. So,
I encourage readers to do the same. Switch It Up.
