Since starting her indie journey in 2011 with the runaway bestselling novella "Teasing Trent," her work has appeared on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists more than a dozen times.

Nana Malone

USA Today bestselling author Nana Malone's love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense novel she "borrowed" from her cousin.
It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She's been in love with kick-butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination constantly channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.
While she waits for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, Nana works out her drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as brazen and kick-butt as she thinks she is.

Synopsis:
I NEVER KNEW WHEN HE’D COME TO ME. ONLY THAT HE WOULD.
I’d never even kissed a boy the night I met Stone. The night I saw him kill. The night he spared my life. That was only the beginning.
He turns up in my car again and again, dangerous and full of raw power. “Drive,” he tells me, and I have no choice. He’s a criminal with burning green eyes, invading my life and my dreams.
The police say he’s dangerously obsessed with me, but I’m the one who can’t stop thinking about him. Maybe it’s wrong to let him touch me. Maybe it’s wrong to touch him back. Maybe these twisted dates need to stop. Except he feels like the only real thing in my world of designer labels and mansions.
So I drive us under threat, until it’s hard to remember I don’t want to be there.
Until it’s too late to turn back.

Excerpt

A calm comes over me. “Are you going to kill me, too?”
“So far, you haven’t shown you can follow orders very well, have you?”
“I won’t tell on you,” I blurt out.
He snorts. 
We’re heading west, out of the city. The party seems like a million years ago. They’ll be sitting down for dinner now. Wondering where I am. Will they think I left?
The man’s face is in shadows. Streetlamps flash over his face as the van moves along, revealing a nose carved out of granite and a strong jaw. I wouldn’t call him handsome. He’s too rough-hewn for that, like someone forgot to sand over the angles.
“Please—”
“Be quiet.” His soft menace is directed at me this time. I shrink in my seat.
We’re going into a run-down suburb, Westdale or Ferndale or something, a place with a lot of little tiny box homes. It’s a place I never go. We wind through the streets, deeper and deeper. 
It’s hard to even look at him. That means acknowledging what’s happening to me. This is real. I may never make it out of this alive. That’s what I think when I turn my head to the side, glance at him from beneath low lashes. Which makes his gray Henley and dark-wash jeans seem way too ordinary. If this were the day I was going to die, wouldn’t he be wearing something more dramatic?
But that’s just wishful thinking from my panicked mind. He can hurt me wearing anything. I’m so deep in danger it’s hard to breathe.
He slows on a far block and turns. The van headlights hit overgrown weeds and the charred remains of a house. The place burned at one time, long ago. 
He circles around and goes into the alley behind it. He shoves it into park and does something to the wires that make it shut off. He turns to me. “I’m gonna get out and deal with this guy. If you move out of this seat, I’ll kill you. And if, by some miracle, you manage to get away, I’m going to kill everybody you called on this phone in the last month. Can you guess how? I’ll give you a hint. A meat hook is involved.”
I suck in a breath. He doesn’t bother to wait for my answer. He gets out, yanks open the back door, and drags the man out—I can tell by the thuds. More punching sounds come from behind the van. The groans and garbled pleas sound worse and worse.
I huddle in my seat, listening to a man get beaten to death.
Bile rises up in my throat. I have only a few seconds to decide what to do—throw up in the van or throw up outside. He’s told me not to leave. He’s threatened my life, threatened to snap my neck. But I have an entire lifetime of my mother’s voice in my head. I have sixteen years of decorum forcing me to fumble for the door handle and push my way out. 
I make it two feet away before dropping to my hands and knees and throwing up in the weeds behind the place. For all I know, he’ll kill me for this. For all I know, he’d have killed me for doing this in the van. He’s insane.
There’s not much that lands on the ground. A bottle of smartwater and some strawberries don’t leave a lot to vomit, but my stomach still heaves again and again until I’m sore, until I’m choking on bile, wrung dry.
I sit back on my feet, wiping my face, panting, one hand on the rough concrete, head down. The sounds back there have changed. There’s this grunting and a grinding sound, then a crack. It makes me want to throw up all over again. 
If he’s going to kill me, I’d rather not see it coming. I guess I hope he does it fast. That’s what they always say in movies. 
I hear a thump in the back of the van and then the sound of the door shutting. Footsteps coming toward me. 
I force my breathing to slow. He’s behind me. I stay still.
“You’ve never seen shit like this, have you?” he asks, his voice almost conversational.
It makes me shiver, how he can sound so normal after killing a man.
My voice is low. “No.”
“You’ve only seen—what? Parties? Fancy shit?”
There’s judgment in his voice and something else. Curiosity? I can use that. I have to use that, because it’s the only tool I have. I sit back on my knees, brushing my hands against each other to wipe off the gravel. My white and pink dress is stained with blood and dirt. My cell phone is in his pocket. If I want to survive this, I need to persuade him to let me go.
“Parties,” I force myself to say in agreement. Make him see you as a person. “Tonight was my birthday party.”
He doesn’t say anything.
I look up at him. His face is cast in shadows by the moon. Demonic. Unforgiving. I wonder how I look to him, down on the ground in a dirty alley.
“Please just let me go back there,” I whisper. “Nobody has to know.”
He lowers to his haunches and brushes a strand of slick hair from my face. His thumb lingers on my cheek, brushing over my skin. “You’re right,” he says, voice musing. “No one saw me take you. No one even knew I was there. No one has to know.”
“What does that mean?” I whisper. 
He stands, sucking in a ragged breath. My heart pounds as his eyes move over me. 
I’ve never felt so helpless, so alone. I’m a sacrifice, kneeling at the feet of a beautiful, brutal demon.

Book Tag: 90's Kid Book Tag

 Hello everyone! Hope you all have had a good week. I almost couldn't find a tag for this week, then i came across the 90s kid book tag & thought what better tag to do than one to relive my childhood? I came across this tag over on The Introverted Book Nerd's Blog - if you haven't checked out Danielle's Blog yet, go do so now! Don't forget to check out The Literary Phoenix creator of this awesome tag!

THE RULES
  1. Please, please, please steal this tag and spread it around!  I only ask that you link it back to The Literary Phoenix so that I can see everyone’s answers!
  2. Freeze tag was all the rage in the 90s.  Tag someone (or many) you think would have fun with this!
  3. Have fun!
POKEMON:
A GBA game and trading card game where you battled pocket monsters and strived to catch them all.  Back in the day, there were only 150 Pokemon.
pokemon dancing GIF
The author you need every book from.
I need them Alllllll. Haha. No but really, once i fall in love- like head over heels obsessed with a book/series/author i need all of the books. Cassandra Clare's shadowhunter books, Sarah J Maas ACOTAR books, Kennedy Fox books, LJ Shen books, Leigh Bardugo... Yep. All of em, haha. 
AIM
AOL Instant Messaging – how 90s kids communicated with their friends after school before everyone had a cell phone.
90s nostalgia GIF
Book that connected you with your best friend.
I dunno? Guess i didn't really bond with anyone over books. My sister is the only person i really know IRL who reads similar books & i mean, we were already bonded being sisters (20 year she difference though). Any other friends i have are online- & I just read at my own pace (sometimes fly through a book, sometimes take it a bit slow) & just share what i think that way. 
FURBY
Creepy needy robots you could teach to talk and were probably demon possessed.  Somehow these made a comeback?
90s nostalgia GIF
Book that seemed like a good idea but was actually a monster.
I don't know? There are books that loads of people would rave over, & i would read them & just feel meh towards them. But idk if i would consider it as being a "monster". 
N'SYNC
90s quintessential boy band. You may have heard of Justin Timberlake?
90s challenge GIF
A book you hated to say Bye, Bye, Bye to.
Basically any and every single book where i got sucked in. But, I love to reread favorites & get sucked right back into the story- its like visiting with old friends. And the emotion is still there every single time too. 
SLIMED!
Getting green slime thrown on you, courtesy of the show Figure it Out.  Also apparently still a thing at the Kid’s Choice Awards?
green slime nickelodeon GIF
A book everyone loved but you hated.
I would say i hated these books- but I didn't love them as much as everyone else. Welcome to Nightvale, Me Before You, Carnage, Miss Pergrine's Home For Peculiar Children, Paper Towns. 
OREGON TRAIL
90s computer game you could usually play at school, which was great.  It taught us people used to die a lot of gruesome, messy deaths.
oregon trail 90s GIF
A book that made you wish you died of dysentery.
Animal Farm. It was a book i was pretty much forced to read in High School & i hated it. Like legit hated it bc of the animals & cruelty. 
MIXTAPE/CD
Back before everyone had music on their phones (remember, we didn’t have cell phones!) folks would rip their CDs and make mixes for each other.
happy 90s GIF
3 books you recommend to anyone, anywhere, no matter what.
So I jump back & forth between genres- & am a mood reader, so myquestion would be what genre do you want? Haha. If you like Romance i would suggest Drive By Kate Stewart, anything by LJ Shen, & of course Kennedy Fox. If you like more YA then ACOTAR trilogy by Sarah J Maas, the Shadowhunter books by Cassandra Clare, & Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. (Also, Secrets of the Tally by Halie Fewkes & Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kassel) 
DIAL-UP INTERNET
You know how it’s annoying when you aren’t on LTE?  IMAGING WAITING 10 MINUTES FOR INTERNET TO START AND ANOTHER 20 MINUTES FOR GOOGLE TO LOAD!
retro the struggle GIF
A book that took FOR FREAKING EVER to read.
If i am really into the book, & have the time to I can fly right threw it. I honestly don't know the last book that took me a long time to read... (I think it was an arc that I just couldn't get into). 
KENAN THOMPSON
He’s that guy who’s been on SNL forever.  Also Mighty Ducks.  Good Burger.  Keenan and Kel.  All That.  Everything.
happy kenan thompson GIF by Saturday Night Live
That book that you see referenced everywhere and is in everything, but that's okay because it's awesome.
Harry Potter. Seriously, that is every-freaking-where. I actually just read them for the first time last year (yeah, I know it took me all 20 years to finally jump on that band wagon 😂😂). 
THUMBS UP, SEVEN UP
A game where most the class closed their eyes and seven people tapped someone’s thumb and you had to guess who did it without peeking.
Book where you peeked just REAL quick at the ending because you don’t like guessing games.
I don't really peak to the end, but sometimes while reading, my eyes drift down the page (like if its a different font it catches my attention) & it gives something away before i am there. Although, sometimes i count the pages like "omg there are only 5 pages left. They aren't going to wrap up everything nicely in only 5 pages. I am freaking out!" 
DUNKAROOS
These were basically just Teddy Grahams dipped in frosting, which is still a wonderful snack idea.
nostalgic GIF
Your ideal bookish snack.
I don't *usually eat while reading, but occasionally will have cookies or chips if I am hungry but too lazy to get real food. & god i miss dunkaroos! 
STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK
Collections of short stories that would scare any sensible kid!  Plus, there were illustrations…
scary stories to tell in the dark animation GIF by weinventyou
A book that kept you up all night.
Almost any book that i am reading. I hate putting books down because i always have to know what happens next or how it ends. Always. So the list of unputdownables is a long one. 
BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY
Basically the coolest thing you got to do in science class was watch Bill Nye.  He has a Netflix show again!
bill nye 90s GIF
A book that taught you something new.
Six of Crows taught me how to steal & break out of prison soo... 😂😂 kidding. Although i really did say that to my fiance when he said my books don't really teach me anything like his does (he reads non-fiction a lot) 
I TAG:
Whoever wants to do this tag. Seriously, it was a lot of fun, & if you are up for it, then go right ahead. What a great tag to bring on nostalgia! Thanks for reading!

AUTHOR BIO

An English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché; she loves cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe. She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, Marjorie, and Bob; and their mastiff, Henry. Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.” With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are real.” That’s how she knows she's done her job. Lindsay's hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

A Sexy STANDALONE romance from USA Today Bestselling Author Nana Malone!!

There was one rule he couldn’t break…

Zephyr Donovan knew the sacred rule. Never date a student.

With the demons in his past, all he wanted was a fresh start. He wasn’t looking for trouble. But trouble tasted so damn good.

There are reasons for the rules…

Malia Adams had a complicated life. Well, actually it was pretty simple. Survive. Stay off the streets by any means necessary. And that was a nightly struggle. She didn’t have time to get involved with anyone.

Especially not the one person she can’t have.

Even if he is sex on a stick.

All he needs to do is stay away. All she needs to do is forget him. Looks like they’re both rule-breakers.


About the Author:
USA Today Bestselling Author, NANA MALONE’s love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she borrowed from her cousin on a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana at a precocious thirteen. She’s been in love with kick butt heroines ever since.
With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters. Waiting for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, Nana, meantime works out her drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.
The books in her series have been on multiple Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble best seller lists as well as the iTunes Breakout Books list and most notably the USA Today Bestseller list.
Until that ninja job comes through, you’ll find Nana working hard on additional books for her series as well as other fun, sassy romances for characters that won’t leave her alone. And if she’s not working or hiding in the closet reading, she’s acting out scenes for her husband, daughter and puppy in sunny San Diego.
