Looks like an interesting take on vampires and radio stations. Published in May, 2008

This novel kicks off a series about brothers that are cursed to be werewolves. It's set in the regency era, and while there are times that Thompson will get you to laugh, she'll mostly enthrall you with a really good story.

This starts of a series with Fae and Highlanders, delectable heroes and wise-cracking women. There's action, humor, romance, intrigue and suspense. You'll want to read every novel of this series and want more! Moning also has another great series that starts with "Darkfever." Start with the Highlanders series first.

You'll love the characters in this story. Especially the hunky, hot Alpa male warriors of Poseidon. There's magic, adventure, Atlantis, vampires, shapeshifters and a battle to protect mankind.

This is another edgy series where the demons aren't always the bad guys. Morgan is a tough lead female that will make you take notice. I'm impatiently waiting for the next installment.

Starts off a series with time traveling, immortal Highland warriors. These warriors protect mankind from demon destruction. Expect magic, adventure, romance and an all around good read.

I thought this was the first book of the series, but it's listed as book 2. Great series, that intermingles current times with beings we thought were in the past: Author and his knights, Fae, Sidhe, magic. This series isn't for the faint of heart--the love scenes are pretty erotic. Still worth a read.

Best beginner Qigong theory and meditation instruction
