Playlist: Time After Time

This book is set in 1984. Ironically, it’s a year I don’t totally remember. My mom passed away that year when I was a freshman in high school. While researching the time, I thought: “Wow, that song came out? And that song?” Yeah, so many small connections built into a story that hopefully, lingers. 

Each song corresponds with a chapter. Here's a list in alphabetical order (no spoilers!).

Cyndi Lauper, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” & “Time After Time”

Duran Duran, “Hungry Like a Wolf”

Eurythmics, “Sweet Dreams”

Frankie Goes to Hollywood, “Two Tribes”

Whodini, “The Freaks Come Out at Night”

INXS, “The One Thing”

Madonna, “Material Girl”

Pat Benatar, “Love is a Battlefield”

Prince, “Purple Rain”

The Police, “Every Breath You Take”

Time After Time

 

By Louisa Bacio

 

What’s old is new and what’s new is old. 

 

After a good deed goes wrong, Serena and Peder tumble through time, landing in Hollywood during an ’80s musical revolution. 

 

The paranormal duo navigates the concrete waters of the past to find a way back to the future. Without the aid of modern technology, other members of The Nightshade Guild, or their dwindling energy sources, they must rely upon each other.

 

Maybe other “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” but Serena wants to get back home with her love. 

Available now!

Songs of the Deep: Mermaid's Tail

 

Tami Lund

Mermaid's Tail

 

The need for revenge is as deep as the sea 

Fifteen years ago, Asia was tossed over the side of a ship and left for dead. Galene, the first mermaid, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, saved her and turned into a mermaid. 

For fifteen years, Asia has been biding her time, waiting to seek her revenge. 

But now that she finally has her chance, she runs into a roadblock in the form of Conall Nowak, a handsome human man who takes her breath away and gives her all the feels…and makes her wish for a future that cannot be. 

Because she is a mermaid, and Conall has a secret. 

 

He knows who tossed Asia overboard.

 

Share something special about the characters in your story:

 

Our hero, Conall, struggles with his past, with accepting that his father wasn't one of the good guys. He doesn't believe in mermaids, and hates the fact that rumors persist that his father's death was at the hands of these mythical creatures. 

 

As a teen, our heroine, Asia, wanted to captain her own ship. Unfortunately, in a desperate attempt to realize that dream, she snuck onto the wrong ship... and was tossed overboard.

 

What drew you to be part of this anthology?

 

The fact that it was about mermaids. I've written wolf shifters and dragon shifters and bear shifters, but I'd never considered mermaids before. The idea was so intriguing, and this was the perfect opportunity to give it a try.

 

Are mermaids/sirens real? What do you think about those things we know to be true but don't necessarily see?

 

I think we love the idea that they might be real, which is why we all enjoy reading about them so much! 

 

Anything else you’d like to add?

 

I am so excited for readers to dive into this anthology. My story was so much fun to write, and I know the other authors feel the same way.

Songs of the Deep: Silver Seas

 

Louisa Bacio

Silver Seas

 

Lumina admits to making mistakes in life and love. When her scumbag ex dumps her—literally—overboard in the middle of the ocean, she figures she’s done. 

 

Until she’s saved not once, but twice. 

 

Change and trust doesn’t come easy for Jewel. She’s learned to rely on herself until she hears the cries for help from her intended mate. 

 

With more than a little help from Poseidon and the magic of the sea, these two forge a new life, together.

 

Share something special about the characters in your story:

 

Despite both living a hard life, both find salvation and love in the mystical waters of the sea and each other. 

 

What drew you to be part of this anthology?

 

It’s a wonderful group of contributors, working together to create something new. It’s always good to work with people you respect such as my long-time writing bestie Nikki Prince, and Lexi Ostrow. Plus, it helps amplify new voices. 

 

Plus, I’ve always been drawn to the sea. 

 

Are mermaids/sirens real? What do you think about those things we know to be true but don't necessarily see?

 

My mom absolutely swears to this day that she’s seen a mermaid, and my dad met a vampire. Imagine growing up with those stories! Just because we don’t see something every day doesn’t mean it’s not “real.” 

 

Anything else you’d like to add?

 

While the worlds are not all interconnected, Silver Seas is my fourth romance featuring romance. You can download a free read via BookFunnel. 

 

Wet: A Ménage Mermaid Tale (FFM)

Princess & the Pauper, Under the Sea. 

After the Sea Queen forbids the Princess to follow her heart, Marianna swears to catch Shell, the feisty water sprite.

Songs of the Deep: In Too Deep

 

Nikki Prince

In Too Deep

 

The sins of the father will be visited on the daughter. 

Intent on revenge, Oceanu targets her prey, leaving them enthralled with her siren song. 

Until she sees Scott and became bewitched herself. Would he still yearn for her if he knew the monster she held back beneath her skin? 

Only time and the seas would tell.

 

Share something special about the characters in your story:

 

Oceanu was innocent until fate made her not so.

 

What drew you to be part of this anthology?

 

I wanted to represent POC in a fantasy world under the sea. I also wanted to try my hand at a dark romance. This one is definitely darker than I've ever done. I'm hoping the readers will love Oceanu as much as I do.

 

Are mermaids/sirens real? What do you think about those things we know to be true but don't necessarily see?

 

I believe there are a lot of things that aren't explainable but could be true. I'm not sure about mermaids or sirens...but this is the beauty of stories...anything can be real.
