Cocktails & Characters (for the secondary characters)
Choose 3 or 4 of your secondary characters tell what their
favorite cocktail is and why.
Caleb is Jarron's best friend. His favorite
cocktail would have to be a Brain Hemorrhage. He's got uber telekinetic powers
and can blow things up with his mind. He finds it funny, that the drink
actually looks like a brain.
Anya is the Oracle for the Order of the Anakim.
She's fun, bubbly, and a little bit quirky just like her favorite drink, Mimosas
made with fresh squeezed orange juice and garnished with strawberries. She
loves oranges and uses the left over peels in her potpourri mix and for
chocolate dipped orange peels. She doesn't believe in wasting anything.
Gina is Ellie's best friend. Her favorite
cocktail is a shot (or several shots) of
B-52. She's a scientist like Ellie and she loves the creamy, rich, pretty,
layers that form from the liqueurs. Gina also doesn't mess around and when it's
time to have fun, there is nothing like a quick shot to get things started.
Kash is one of the four High Guardians. He's
big, strong, and uses Earth Elemental powers. He's broody and serious. Cocktails?!
Um, no. Give him an ice cold beer any
day. He's about simplicity and getting the job done. He doesn't have time for
cocktails.

Passions are erupting.
Cryptic alliances are forming.
Armies are gathering.
And the fabric between good and evil is slowly tearing
open.
Time is running out on Elysa and The Order of the Anakim. A
gathering gloom hangs heavy over their mystic realm as the demon hordes measure
a final deathblow in their age-old struggle. Step by step, the demons murder,
capture, and conjure their way to a realm unified by utter darkness. Their
ruthless queen Ashtaroth, guided only by ambition and her voracious thirst for
carnal pleasures, masterminds their rising tide of evil.
The Order must unify its splintering members to meet the
defining challenge of their history... or pass forever into oblivion.
But in a world where magic, warfare, and sinister prophecies
rule the day... in the night, vile enemies may seek the warmth in each other's
touch.
At this vital juncture, Elysa's passion is lured by a wicked
voice both arousing and terrifying. If the love between Elysa and Jarron is
eternal, it will have to overcome pressures seen and unseen and withstand the
crush of an all-out attack by demon forces.
Darkness is bleeding its treachery into our world and Elysa
and The Order of the Anakim must find a way to combat the gathering doom.
Dark Skies will sweep
legions of fantasy fiction fans into Elysa Amalfi's thrilling and treacherous
world of the supernatural.
Excerpt
The days were melting into each other and Ellie felt like
she'd lived a lifetime in just these few weeks she'd been with the Anakim.
She'd found out she was descended from angels, she'd met an amazing man, and
her friend was going to join the ranks of the Wiccans to help in their fight.
She'd always thought stuff like this only happened in the
movies. That nothing like this really existed except in the creative minds of
storytellers. But here they were, she and Jarron, driving into the city to pick
up Gina and permanently close down her apartment.
Gina had been house sitting for her for the last three
weeks, but now that they were both going to be with the Anakim, there was no
longer any reason to hold onto it. The apartment had been her place since her
mom disappeared, and was where she'd put together a new life for herself.
Letting it go was letting go of the past to allow room for a new beginning she
was strongly forging with The Order of the Anakim.
It was bittersweet.
She looked at the driver's side of the SUV and studied
Jarron's profile -- the chiseled jaw, the pout of his lips, the perfect slope
of his nose, and those eyes… He could stare down a demon during battle and, in
their private moments, lock onto her gaze, making every fiber of her being melt
into goo. He owned her and he didn't even know it. Her heart beat wildly when
he caught her staring and threw her one of his half-cocked smiles. That smile
was her undoing.
He reached over and grabbed her hand, squeezing it lightly
before returning his eyes to the road. "We should be at Gina's in a few
minutes." He slowed the car to a stop, waiting for the traffic light to
change. "Are you okay?"
Ellie nodded, but she wasn't sure how she was feeling. There
was too much going through her mind… some good, some bad. "It's been a lot
to take in these last few weeks."
He shifted his hand, twining his fingers with hers as he
drove to Ellie's apartment. Jarron pulled into a parking spot at the
apartment's lot and turned the engine off. He turned in his seat to face her
and kissed the tips of her fingers. He didn't say anything, just looked at her.
His eyes were so bright, one green and one blue, drawing her in and ensnaring
her within the safety of his heat and light.
"Thank you for coming with me to do this." She had
to look down for a moment to release the breath she'd been holding. He did that
to her. He made her forget to do even the simplest thing like breathing.
He leaned towards her, his cocky smile returning as he
angled for her lips. His heat drew her in, warming her cool energy and making
her bubble with pleasure. She surrendered to him, giving back as much as he was
taking, deepening their kiss.
