De La Cruz Quadruplets


Thank you for the invite. It’s a pleasure to be visiting you and sharing my De La Cruz Saga. The De La Cruz Saga is an amazing emotional roller coaster ride of romance, suspense, and intense passion. Its steamy material is a little erotic. The stories are well written, full of Mexican traditions, and culture. Enjoy their explosively passionate nature. The saga is a twelve book series. I have five out and four more should be out by the end of August 2013.


De La Cruz Saga contains Spanish. Saga has a subtle influence of Spanish and the Spanish becomes more laced (as the story progresses). I write in the present tense because I believe it puts the reader "IN" the action, rather than as part of an "after thought". I believe it brings the characters to life! My writing is not traditional literature. It does not have the fluff (excessive description, stage, settings, prose). My intent is to have the reader visualize and feel the characters story. This is my voice, my style. Dare to read the awesome De La Cruz Saga that’s full of passion and suspense. 


A hot-blooded saga of the De La Cruz familia and their fortunes is centered on romance, pasión, and danger. Enjoy their explosively
passionate nature.  
The first novel Hot & Spicy, the familia encounters danger, action, and passion. The bachelor battles the deadly Mexican cartel to protect his amor, familia, and fortune encountering romance, tantalizing ecstasy, and danger. Jose Enrique De La Cruz is the eldest of los primos. He's completely in command of the familia's empire. Jose Enrique is expected to introduce his fiancée to la familia at the company's 25th anniversary celebration. La familia has no clue that he doesn't have one. He doesn't have time to commit to a chica, not until he meets Jessica Maria Cortez. Jessica rocks his world and unchains his alma. The hot pasión rages through his blood erupting into hot spicy amor. Jessica Maria Cortez has always loved him and grasps this opportunity. The pasióndanger, and hot tantalizing ecstasy rocks Jose Enrique's world. Jose Enrique is thrust into war, danger, and suspense. The De la Cruz's defy the deadly Mexican Cartel dictates. 
Everythingbreathless and romantic is magnified by author P. T. Macias into a fever of
tactile writing, intense pacing, cohesion, and love.

Hot & Spoiled, De La Cruz Saga Sebastian Antonio De La Cruz is the familia architect. He’s the classic traditional macho Mexicano. He enjoys being single until the primos (his cousins) start falling in love. He contemplates seeking the chica (girl) of his dreams. Cynthia walks into his demanding, independent, and unconventional rocking his world. He deals with her father’s objections, issues, and abuse. Tony believes Cynthia’s father is the source of his family’s troubles. “She’s hot, sexy, and makes me burn like no one ever has. I just can’t be with her. She’s a spoiled demanding chica and I will not be her toy!” Sebastian Antonio De La Cruz Small Taste ~ “Hola I’m Cynthia. Do you work here? Is your boss here? I need to talk to him. Can you go and look for him?” asks Cynthia. She looks at Tony. I wonder if he knows where the architect is at. “Yeah, he’s here,” replies Tony. I wonder who this chica is. She’s pushy and demanding. I don’t like it, thinks Tony, attempting to calm down his body reaction to her nearness. “Okay, so where is he?” asks Cynthia. She looks around trying to find the architect that her Papa wants her to meet with. “What do you want with him?” asks Tony with curiosity. I wonder what she wants with me. “I need to make sure that he designs the building exactly as we want the building to be built. I want him to review the land and get his thoughts on buildings,” replies Cynthia with a commanding voice. Huh, hell no, I’m not taking her bullshit, thinks Tony annoyed. He looks at her from tip of her boots to the top of her glorious hair. Hell yeah, she makes me burn but she also makes me furious. Who in the hell does she think she is. She’s very condescending. “Okay, let’s start this over,” says Tony taking a firm stance. “I’m Sebastian Antonio De La Cruz and you are?” he asks. He glares at her raising his eyebrow. He raised it with arrogance. Cynthia stands there with her mouth gapping open. Wow! This hot hunk is the architect. I thought he was a worker and that the architect was an old fart, thinks Cynthia. I like him, ponders Cynthia, going to him, running her finger over his lower lip, and biting her lip. Oh yeah, I will taste him. I bet he makes love like being in heaven. I want him. I’m going to have him. She smiles gazing into his beautiful hazel eyes. “I’m Cynthia Lopez, your boss,” replies Cynthia, taking a step closer to give him a beso. She goes up onto her toes, pulls him down, giving him a hot, hungry beso. Si, he tastes scrumptious, thinks Cynthia, nibbling at his lower lip. She takes Tony by surprise. He responds to her beso with red hot hunger. He wraps his arms around her small waist, pulling her closer. He tastes her with extreme pleasure. He moans, enjoying her taste. Damn yes, she tastes divine, he thinks. He then realizes what she had said and furiously pulls back glaring at her. “Look niña, I’m not your toy and you’re not my boss,” replies Tony. Tony’s intense anger blazes in his hazel eyes, turning them greener. He attempts to control his body’s reaction to her. Dios mio, she has me all worked up with just one beso. I have never felt this strong pasión before with any other chica, ponders Tony, clenching his jaw. He steps back taking deep breaths, trying to control his anger, and his pasión. He turns to contemplate her surprised face. I need to be professional and polite to this chica. She is the customer, thinks Tony. “So you’re Señor Lopez’s hija? Where is Señor Lopez? He requested that we meet to go over the plot and some building designs prior to completing the purchase transaction,” says Tony, taking control of his feelings. “He’s late.” “My padre is late because his meeting is longer than he thought. He asked me to review everything with you,” replies Cynthia, taking a step closer to him. She faces him, almost touching. I see that he’s a real macho Mexicano and that he didn't like me being aggressive.

Delightful excerpt ~
Wow, what’s going on? What’s all that commotion here in my casa, thinks Claudia.
She runs out of her room and down the hall. She meets her Padres (parents).
What’s going on?” asks Claudia.
We don’t know,” replies Papa Jorge.
Claudia urgently strides to the front door. She sees Veronica and Christopher walking after Roberto.
Oh dios mio that’s my Roberto! “Roberto, wait!” yells Claudia. She runs out the door after him. “Baby!”
I don’t want to hear you lie!” yells Roberto. He attempts to hurry to the suv.
Baby, what’s wrong?” asks Claudia, passing Veronica and Christopher.
Hermana (sister), he saw Christopher and me kissing. I think that he thought I was you,” says Veronica, walking behind Claudia.
Hey, amigo, wait up!” says Christopher, sprinting after Roberto. “You have it all wrong.”
Roberto hears Claudia and the other voices. Hmm, that’s three voices and not two. One is Claudia, he thinks. He turns around, furious and curious.
Baby,” yells Claudia, running to Roberto. “Please, listen to me.”
Roberto stands stupefied. Oh, dios mio! What a fucking fool I am. I forgot about her twin. I saw her in his arms and thought it was my Baby. The rage and frustration that I felt ten years ago, came rushing back. It was worse this time, because Claudia is my mujer, ponders Roberto. He’s in a daze.
Roberto stares at Veronica, feeling Claudia run into his arms. Damn, she’s identical to my Claudia, but she’s different. He gazes down into Claudia’s beautiful eyes.
Baby, te amo!” says Claudia. She gazes into his confused, pained beautiful brown eyes. “That’s my hermana, Veronica.”
Roberto closes his eyes tight. Wow, damn it! I made a huge mistake. I almost walked away from my amor, my alma gemela, and my world.
He opens his eyes and gazes into Claudia’s beautiful face. He pulls her close, burying his face into her neck. Yes, this is my Claudia. I feel her, she’s mia, only mia, he thinks.
Amor, your mia, only mia!” he growls into her ear. He ignores the pain at his side. He holds her tight.
Claudia moves her head and gives him a hungry beso. She wraps her arms around his neck.
Oh, damn yes. This is my Baby, my Amor, thinks Roberto. He hungrily returns her beso. He holds her tight. I’ve been dreaming of this moment for a long time.

AUTHOR Q&A
~Most of my favorite authors are indie or self-pubbed, what made me you decide to go that route?
The biggest factor in my decision to go Indie is that I want full control of my work. I never attempted to send in submissions to any agents. I decided that I wanted to keep the rights to my work. 

~What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?
The most surprising things that I learned in creating my books is the fact that I can write. The characters monitor the story.

~Which of your characters are you most like? Least like?
Lol, will I feel that I’m like Patricia De La Cruz and a little of Isabella. I’m the least like Erica De La Cruz. 

~Do you have a particular writing habit?
Not really. I write and write when I have the story flowing out. Then I edit and send it to my awesome editor Marsha.

~If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
I really don’t have a favorite writer, but it would be Sherrilyn Kenyon. I love her stories.

~Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
Oh yeah, there are several authors that I’m anxious to read their stories. When I have time I will. I have a long to read list, lol

~What is the hardest part of your writing?
De La Cruz Saga contains Spanish. Saga has a subtle influence of Spanish and the Spanish becomes more laced (as the story progresses). I write in the present tense because I believe it puts the reader "IN" the action, rather than as part of an "after thought". I believe it brings the characters to life! My writing is not traditional literature. It does not have the fluff (excessive description, stage, settings, prose). My intent is to have the reader visualize and feel the characters story. This is my voice, my style. Dare to read the awesome De La Cruz Saga that’s full of passion and suspense.

~Do you have any advice for other writers?
Write what you feel, believe, and listen to your voice. You will never please everyone.

~Describe yourself in three words.
Dedicated, Authentic, traditional

~I know characters are like children but if you could chose, who’s your favorite from your books? Of all time?
Yes all of them are my babies. 

~Any song or songs that could basically sum up the overall mood of your writing?
No I don’t listen to music when I write. If I have to pick one, it would be romantic and country music. 

~Do you plot out your books or just freely write them and let the characters tell you what to do next?
That’s exactly what happens. The characters direct their story and the scenes evolve as I type.  

~If you had to choose, which writer would you consider the biggest influence in your writing?
Well, I don’t have one, really I don’t. I write based on what I feel, what I see in my mind, and the characters direction. I also write what I always wanted to see in the stories I read. 

What are your current projects? Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Yes, I can with pleasure. I’m working on finishing up the De La Cruz Saga. I’m currently working on Hot & Sassy. My goal is to complete the De La Cruz Saga by the end of this year. I have Hot Angel, Hot & Sexy, Hot & Lovable, and Hot & Naughty to complete. I’m also starting to write the first book in the Razer 8 series. Razer 8 is about the eight Delta Force Operators. These stories will have romance, action, and suspense. The Razer 8 series will not be in Spanglish.
Thank you for your awesome interview.

Abbey Fergus has grown up knowing she wasn’t human, that she was Fae. The little sister of the Prince of Light and Illusion and ruler of the Felidae Clan, Abbey has spent her life living between two worlds. This has never been a problem for Abbey, she enjoys both worlds, but it hasn’t ever been easy.  She’s been protected from all things Dark all of her life.  As a little girl, the humans thought she was the weird girl who talked to ‘ghosts’ in a strange language and were constantly testing her for autism. All because her Fae guards who were under glamour, taught her to read and do math long before the rest of the children. As a teen she was still the weird girl, very smart and a bit on the shy side, but because she was a friend of Daire’s (the Fae warrior disguised as a hot football player), the humans left her alone.
 
Now Abbey’s eighteenth birthday is approaching fast and her nice safe world has turned to chaos. She soon finds that Daire and the other Fae have been keeping a very big secret. The war between Light and Dark is still going on in full-force and The Queen of Air and Darkness is after her. So Abbey has some tough choices to make, like who to date, how to stop the Queen and what kind of leader she wants to be, because the deadline on her choices ends with the Winter Solstice…

I would love to share the links to find this book by Julieanne Lynch. I found myself all excited in so many ways for the next book in this series and have to wait along with everyone else to see what happens next.




Young, beautiful and naive, a young Bianka doesn't truly understand the price that comes with being the chosen one.

Taken from her family, her future is unknown to her, but one thing is for sure: an eternity of need, want and greed.

Can Bianka break the curse that leaves her insatiable, or will she just be another night-walker bound to the Rose?



The Curse of the Rose

Fiery Librian Julieanne Lynch is an author of urban fantasy books for both adults and teens. Julieanne lives in Northern Ireland, where she works on her Shadows Trilogy and other series full-time. Before becoming a writer, she considered a few different career paths, a rock star being one of them. She studied English Literature and Creative Writing at The Open University, and considered journalism as a career path. However, she decided writing was the way for her and believes all of her education and reading prepared her for it.

 
An avid reader, Julieanne has always had an encompassing fascination with folklore. When not writing, she enjoys crime series such as Criminal Minds, CSI, NCIS and Cold Case, and loves anything with Vampires, listening to metal, meeting new people, drinking lots of green tea, and sharing her dreams with her children. She is a self-professed Goth wanna-be, and is happy when left to write into the early hours of the morning.

 
Julieanne also writes under the pen name J.A. Lynch

 
Julieanne's YA series, The Shadows Trilogy, is published by Vamptasy Publishing and thus far contains In the Shadows. It follows the war between vampires and shadow creatures. Giselle Bergman, an 18-year old human girl, falls victim to a scheme by one of her closest childhood friends, and embarks on a journey that sees her become the center of a battle between good and evil.

I need to clear a few things up for everyone



It has been brought to my attention that there is some confusion about the things I do for Indie authors and who I may, or may not be affiliated with. I believe I should post to clear this up, and avoid any potential drama.
I spend a lot of my time promoting Indie and Small Press authors, and everything I do, I do for FREE. That's right. I don't charge for the things I do, though I may not have time to do all of the things I want.
The confusion seems to be coming from groups and pages with similar names to my own.
The greatest confusion comes from the fact that some of these groups and pages are run by people who I've assisted or mentored in the past, and these people are now running their own groups and charging a fee for the services they offer.
 
Rest assured, I DO NOT charge for doing promos, creating street teams, creating groups, reviewing books, guiding an author on how to get their work out, and on "hooking" authors up with the right people! My personal opinion is that it would be unfair to authors to charge for services so many others offer for free, or to claim to be a professional at some of the more traditional services like editing, formatting, book blurbs, blog tours and synopsis.
So, to clear up any further confusion, here is a complete list of the open and closed groups I run or admin:






These are the ONLY groups I run or admin. Anything with a similar name is not mine.

 
I do admin on 6 pages, 2 of which I am the originator of and I am a member of many other groups but I am not in charge of those groups.

 
I just want everyone to know who I am and what I do for authors. They have brought much joy to my life and I enjoy doing the things I do for them.

 
Feel free to leave a comment
