Title: The Cat's Meow
Author: Stacey Kennedy
Series: Witch's Brew (#1)
Genre: UF/Romance
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
Release Date: Dec 13 2012





Libby is an Enchantress—a witch gifted by the Goddess to conjure spells. When a magical presence is detected around a recent string of feline slayings, Libby takes the case to uncover the reasons behind the odd deaths. Much to her displeasure, the coven also sends a sexy warlock, Kale, to assist her.
While having the muscle around proves to be useful, fighting the attraction between them is worse than a hex, especially considering Kale is keeping secrets. But soon, Libby has bigger problems than the elusive warlock when her spells turn up clues that point to something far more sinister than slaughtered cats.
Now Libby has landed herself in the midst of an uprising. She trusts no one and isn’t safe—not from the warlocks stirring up trouble. Not from the worrisome rebellion she can’t escape. And certainly not from Kale, who is weaving a very dangerous spell over her heart.

He leans down, lips parted, and then our lips connect……….We didn’t know that this one kiss has FOREVER changed the Land of the Fae.

According to the Prophecy proclaimed many years ago, Princess Calista of the Summer Court is destined to change the Land of the Fae from the evil determined to destroy it.  Her powers are phenomenal, and she secretly trains for battle with her handsome warrior friend, Merrick, who unbeknownst to her protects her heart as well, in hopes of keeping it for himself.  At least, until the seductive Prince Ryder attends the Guardian Ceremony and instantly sends a fire burning through her veins and a connection so deep they both discover a love above anything imaginable.
No one knows how Calista is destined to change the kingdoms, but there is one that does.  He not only craves Calista’s power, but her body as well, and his goal is to steal her power, make her his Dark Queen, and take over the Land of the Fae.
Will the evil succeed in claiming Calista’s soul?  Or will the two men that fight for her heart save her from despair, and help her fulfill her destiny to become what she was meant to be.





Where did the inspiration for this story come from?  What is the story behind the story so to speak?  

My inspiration comes from my love of faeries and of their magical worlds.  I love the whole concept of them and their magic.  I fell in love with so many fae books and I knew that if I was going to write a book it would be about the fae.  I’m a fantasy fanatic so imagining a world where I can do any kind of magic was amazing to me.  I got lost in that world so many times and it killed me when I had to come back from there after finishing my first novel :)

Tell us about the book cover.  How does it represent your book?  How did you choose the artwork?  

I love my book cover!! I think it is absolutely breathtaking.  The concept of it was mine and my cover artist put it together beautifully.  The girl represents Calista, the Summer Court Princess.  I have one side that has a green forest which represents Summer and you have the opposite side that represents winter, and of course, up above you have the dark sorcerer looming about.  The Land of the Fae is separated by different courts.  You have the Summer Court and the Winter Court, hence, the reason why I did half and half.  The back cover of the book shows a talisman with a bloodstone.  This represents the dark sorcerer’s magic and that talisman plays a huge role in the book.  I was very impressed with how my cover artist fit it to how I wanted.






L.P. Dover lives in the beautiful state of North Carolina with her husband and two wonderful daughters.  She’s an avid reader that loves her collection of books. Writing has always been her passion and she’s delighted to share it with the world.  L.P. Dover spent several years in college starting out with a major in Psychology and then switching to dental.  She worked in the dental field for eight years and then decided to stay home with her two beautiful girls. She spent the beginning of her reading years indulging in suspense thrillers, but now she can't get away from the paranormal/fantasy books.  Now that she has started on her passion and began writing, you will not see her go anywhere without a notebook, pen, and her secret energy builder….chocolate.

Where did the inspiration for this story come from?  What is the story behind the story so to speak?

I began The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter as project to create a background for another character that I was writing about. In that process, Chloe was born as a short story and then people liked it so much as a short, that I decided to keep writing.

Tell us about the book cover. How does it represent your book?  How did you choose the artwork? 

My covers are done by Paragraphic Designs. I tell her what I am envisioning and she comes back with the perfect cover. This cover is Chloe, the main character with a graveyard behind her. Graves represent the death of her mother and also vampires.
