I’m an artist, an author, mother and wife. I write for Ellora’s Cave, Loose Id Publishing and a couple new publishers to be announced soon. I try to bring a touch of the mystical and a big sense of adventure to everything I write because I believe there’s a bold, kick-ass heroine inside all of us who wants to take a wild ride with a strong worthy hero.</div>

<strong>The Wolf of Kisimul Castle</strong><br />
<strong>Heather McCollum</strong><br />
<b><br /></b>Published by: Entangled Publishing<br />
Publication date: August 14th 2017<br />
Genres: Adult, Historical, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText1561717383847126928">Mairi Maclean is kidnapped on her wedding day by the enemy of her dead husband. Taken north to the water-surrounded Kisimul Castle, she is held captive in the name of retribution. But The Wolf of Kisimul Castle soon learns Mairi is not a docile pawn in this game of war between neighboring<br />
Scots. Nor will she be frightened into walking down the aisle to wed the fierce Highland chief.</span></blockquote>
Alec MacNeil is set on revenge. When he finds his enemy dead, he takes his wife to replace the one that was murdered. An eye for an eye. A bride for a bride. But Mairi is more tiger than kitten and refuses to bend to his will. Set stubbornly against one another, the passion that flares between them threatens to tear Alec’s strategy to shreds.<br />

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
He crossed to the window without a word and looked out at the courtyard, his eyes scanning beyond.<br />
<br />
“Where is everyone?” he asked. “At the chapel, I assume,” she said, stepping closer. He probably smelled of sweat or ale. She inhaled. Nay. She smelled pine and the sea and fresh air on him.<br />
<br />
He turned, and she rubbed her nose to hide the action of sniffing him. His gaze dropped to her as if her nearness surprised him. “We will go,” he said.<br />
<br />
Mairi sighed. “I won’t have Geoff wondering if I would have failed his test, so go ahead.” She let her eyes flutter shut and waited. “Go ahead?” he repeated, and she blinked open.<br />
<br />
“Aye,” she said, starting to feel foolish. “Kiss me, if ye’re going to. Otherwise take me to the chapel.”<br />
<br />
The only change in the man’s devilishly handsome face was a slight rise in his brows, his clear blue-gray eyes widening the smallest amount. Those damnably tempting lips opened and closed, and his gaze drifted to the shut door before returning to her. He stared at her, as if he were delving into her thoughts. The idea shook Mairi, and she frowned.<br />
<br />
“Well, if ye’re not—”<br />
<br />
The man wrapped his hand around her arm, slowly reeling her in with constant, gentle pressure until she had to tip her head back to see his face. He radiated authority and determination, as if he could order the mountains to move, yet chose to hold her instead. Her heart hammered in her chest as he set his hand on her cheek. “A kiss, and then we go,” he murmured, moving his thumb across her jaw.<br />
<br />
She had time for only a quick inhale as he descended. Mairi had expected a bruising press of his mouth like Geoff had given her when he’d asked her to wed. But this man’s kiss was gentle and warm. With slight pressure, he tipped her head to seal their lips together, moving against her as if tasting an aged whisky. Heat flowed down through<br />
Mairi, wiping away all rational thought. Her knees numbed, but the man seemed to accept her weight easily as he held her against his hard body. His height made him loom over her, but Mairi felt safely surrounded by power instead of fearful. Her fingers reached behind his head to feather through his wavy hair. They were still woven in the dark mass when he gently pulled back, ending the most sensuous kiss Mairi had ever experienced. What bloody foolishness was Geoff thinking? Her traitorous body begged for more, but she stepped back, hands to her flushed skin above her low neckline. The man adjusted himself through his kilt, proving that he too had been affected by the kiss.<br />
<br />
“Who are ye?” she asked.<br />

<strong>Crescent Calling </strong><br />
<strong>Axelle Chandler</strong><br />
(The Crescent Witch Chronicles #1)<br />
<br />
Publication date: August 9th 2017<br />
Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy<br />
<blockquote>
Skye Williams is an ordinary woman, living an ordinary life.</blockquote>
Or so she thought.<br />
<blockquote>
When she receives news of her estranged mother’s death, she must go to Ireland to claim her inheritance, but when she arrives in the tiny village of Derrydun, she isn’t prepared for what she finds nestled amongst the rolling hills of the Emerald Isle.</blockquote>
Lumped with a funeral, her mother’s crystal shop, a moody goth girl for an employee, and a crumbling cottage with horrible floral curtains, selling up and getting out sounds like a great plan, but everything and everyone seems determined to keep her from going home.<br />
<blockquote>
Skye doesn’t want any part of her mother’s life or the people of Derrydun until she sees the hot Irishman she’s been crushing on turn into a fox.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
More absurdly, he tells her her dead mother was a witch who battled evil fairies, there’s magical trees growing in the centre of the village, there’s a parallel universe where the fair folk live, and she’s meant to be the last defense of the magical peoples of Ireland.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Turns out Skye Williams was never an ordinary woman. Not by a long shot.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
She’s the last Crescent Witch and has a destiny to fulfil.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Whether she likes it or not.<br />
<em></em></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em>The Crescent Witch Chronicles is a series stuffed full of Irish charm, myth and mayhem. Come on an adventure fraught with danger and forbidden romance…and the ultimate battle to save magic before it’s gone forever.</em></blockquote>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<br />
That night, as Buddy kept me company, I fell asleep to the sound of wind howling through the trees outside. Plagued with dreams of wolves, I tossed and turned until I slipped into a deep slumber.<br />
<br />
When dawn finally broke, I was covered in a thin sheen of sweat, and my head was stuffed with cotton wool. I’d slept but not really. A heavy burden was over my heart, and my body had become twisted in the quilt, my feet trapped.<br />
<br />
Ugh, I was all hot and sticky. I kicked, trying to shift the uncomfortable weight and turned over, but it didn’t budge. Lifting my head, my eyes cracked open, sleep still clogging my head. That was when I saw a lump at the end of the bed. A very large, man-shaped lump.<br />
<br />
Now completely awake, I screamed, scrambling up the bed. It was Boone. A very <em>naked</em> Boone.<br />
<br />
He started, his head shooting up, and when he saw me, he rolled and fell off the end of the bed, hitting the floor with a thud. Scrambling to his feet, his face turned a deep shade of crimson.<br />
<br />
“Oh, shit,” he cursed, covering his junk with his hands. “Oh, <em>cac</em>.”<br />
<br />
“<em>Cac?</em>” I yelled. “I’ll give you bloody Irish <em>cac!</em>”<br />
<br />
Grabbing the lamp on the bedside table, I pushed up onto my knees and swung it with all my might. The plug popped out of the wall, and the shade barely missed Boone’s face, but the cord came around and whipped him directly on his bare ass.<br />
<br />
He howled in pain and retreated across the room.<br />
<br />
“<em>Pervert!</em>” I shrieked.<br />
<br />
“Let me explain,” he said, holding up his hands and leaving nothing to the imagination.<br />
<br />
“Explain? What’s there to explain?” I shouted, trying not to look at his <em>you-know-what</em>. “You were asleep on the end of my bed…<em>naked!</em>” I swung the lamp at him again, barely missing his head.<br />
<br />
“You’re still standing there. <em>I can see your meat and two veg!</em>”<br />
<br />
“Oh, <em>cac</em>,” he said again. “I didn’t mean for you to find out this way…”<br />
<br />
“Find out what? That you’re a pervert, who sneaks into women’s homes butt naked?”<br />
<br />

<strong>Dragon Rebel </strong><br /><strong>Ophelia Bell</strong><br />
(Immortal Dragons, #4)<br />
<br />Publication date: August 1st 2017<br />Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText18056835343844661034">If Assana looked up the word “nymphomaniac” in the dictionary, she might expect to find her own image in place of the definition, especially after meeting the immortal red dragon, Gavra. The timing couldn’t be worse for her to discover the mate that Fate intended—the one she’d be willing to let go of her tightly bound hold on her deepest sexual desires for—the one who literally drives her mad with lust. Now that she needs her sanity more than anything to regain control of her race’s home from her own insane mother, she’s faced with the inconvenient desire to lose control and be that primal nymph she keeps locked inside.</span></blockquote>
Thank Gaia for Silas. The handsome young ursa male is blessed with magic that can calm the lust-filled madness threatening to consume Assana’s mind. She needs him more than ever now that she has no choice but to spend her days in close proximity to the dragon she desires more than anything… yet doesn’t dare touch lest she give in to that ancient, primal need all nymphaea are born with.<br />
<blockquote>
For red dragon Gavra, he can only put off having the beautiful nymph maiden for so long, or the ursa male who Fate has promised him. Once Assana’s crazy mother is out of the way, nothing will stop Gavra from claiming and marking them both as his.</blockquote>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
“Well that was fun.”<br />
<br />
Gavra spun around at the sound of the deep, familiar voice that had so recently been speaking inside his head. His brother stood in the center of his room, his arms crossed and a grim smile on his face.<br />
<br />
“Aodh,” he said, unable to mask the utter relief he felt at seeing his white-haired brother whole and in the flesh. He pulled the other man into a fierce embrace that was returned in kind, releasing him when Aodh stiffened.<br />
<br />
Gavra looked back in the direction of his brother’s gaze and saw Vrishti standing with an excited look about to breach the barrier into his room.<br />
<br />
“No!” Aodh said. “Please stay where you are, love.”<br />
<br />
“She wants to see you,” Gavra said. “Surely you won’t deny her a proper greeting.”<br />
<br />
Aodh shook his head. “A proper greeting? She’s not ready, brother. Perhaps it’s fine for you and Silas to tangle before you’ve marked him. We can’t risk her reputation while she’s still learning about her kind.” Turning to Vrishti, he said, “After we’ve settled these issues with the Haven, love. I promise you no prison can keep me from you then.”<br />
<br />
Vrishti dropped the hand she had been about to push past the barrier and nodded. Her eyes grew glassy and she took a shaky breath. “I’ll be ready for you, I promise,” she said. “I can’t stand to see you trapped like this… I’m sorry. Be safe. Keep him safe…” She directed the last comment to Gavra and Assana, who both nodded.<br />
<br />
Gavra gave Assana a perplexed look. “Why didn’t you drift into the room with him?”<br />
<br />
Assana carefully avoided his gaze as she hugged Vrishti farewell and watched the other female go, then she glanced at Silas, a look of pure gratitude on her lovely face. The big ursa male moved closer to her, wrapped an arm around her and held her. Gavra’s chest felt leaden at the way the pair looked at each other – like they belonged in each other’s arms. They were kindred elements, both Gaia’s children, and made sense together more than Gavra himself made sense with either of them. The way he and Silas crashed together with such fiery, explosive force felt right to him, but it was not easy, or pretty – it was passionate, volatile, and destructive.<br />
<br />
“He calms my primal spirit,” Assana said softly. “I’m afraid to come closer to you because you only make the madness claw at my mind more. I allowed Aodh to take control of his own drift once he promised to go where I asked. I couldn’t be in the same room with you for fear of losing control. I’m sorry, Gavra… I can’t let myself lose control, not when my entire home, my family’s well being is at stake. Please understand.”<br />
<br />
He wanted to roar in protest, to breathe flames at the barrier and pull her inside, show her how right it would be to let go and be her true self – the wild nymph he sensed glimmers of beneath the surface whenever their eyes met. The insatiable creature who haunted his dreams, responding to his heat so perfectly.<br />
<br />
Aodh’s hand rested on his shoulder and gave him a comforting squeeze.<br />
<br />
Gavra swallowed the molten lump in his throat and nodded. Finding his voice, he said, “I want you wild, Assana. The first time I’m inside you, you can be damn sure control will be the last thing on anyone’s minds.”<br />
<br />
Silas tightened his hold on Assana protectively, though his aura flared bright red in response to Gavra’s promise. She closed her eyes and took a long, slow breath as though fortifying herself before opening her eyes.<br />
<br />
Her hypnotic, whirlpool gaze met his through the barrier. “I want that, too. To share my primal essence with you both, to taste yours when we’re thrice melded and feel your heat deep inside my mind. To feel you etch your mark on my skin. Gaia save me, I would take that now, but I can’t risk losing myself to that need. There is too much at stake. Please understand… I need Silas to keep my own nymphaea madness in check, but I promise you the first time you’re inside me will be the first time my quim is filled by any male’s seed.”<br />
<br />
Gavra groaned at the promise, forcing himself to pull his gaze away from her or else risk burning down the entire Sanctuary to get to her.<br />
<br />
“It looks like Silas is going to have his hands full sating us both separately then,” he said, staring heatedly at the big ursa male. “Can you handle that?”<br />
<br />
Silas gave him a lazy smile. “I welcome it.”<br />
<br />

Things change when Ken Birch wakes in her kennel still in wolf form and declares she’s his soul mate. His presence wakes her feral heart and makes her long for a life she can’t have. Old wounds are opened and she refuses to listen to instinct.<br />
<blockquote>
But only a shifter can be a soul mate and now her life is in danger by New Port’s pack. Either Betty learns to shift or she dies. Problem is the only one willing to help is Ken, the last person she wants.</blockquote>

Similar to the <i>Choose Your Own Adventure</i> books I read as a child, but a more grownup version. As it turned out, publishers weren't interested in this type of book for young adults, and I scrapped the idea. But the alternate endings still exist on my hard drive. Most were rather gruesome, some bittersweet. This is the bad ending for the first <i>choice</i> the reader made in <i>Shadow Fire. </i>Because it was never published, it never went through an editing stage, so this is from my final draft:<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">There’s
nothing I can do right now. The bandit’s blade digs into my neck, and I can
feel the trickles of blood oozing from the wounds. I know I’ll never reach the
dagger sheathed on my thigh without alerting him. Perhaps I’ll have a chance to escape
later if I bide my time now. He drags me back quickly, to the back of the
merchant caravan. Though I dig my heels into the ground it does little to slow
our backwards progress. Zane, Lukas, and Daren are busy fighting off the
remaining bandits. When the brigand holding me reaches the corral where the
merchants’ horses are tied, he releases me for a quick second to slice through
the reins of the nearest horse. I wasn’t expecting him to let go, and I fall
hard on my backside before trying to scramble to my feet. A sharp pain sears
through my head and everything goes black.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">The first
thing I notice when I begin to wake is that my head throbs in time with my
heartbeat. As my mind becomes more aware, an awful stench assaults my nose. I’ve
never smelled anything so repulsive in all my life. When I try to move my hand
to cover my nose, I realize my wrists are shackled together in iron manacles. My
eyes fly open, and as I take in my surroundings, my heart plummets like a stone
falling over a cliff. I’m lying on my side staring at the bars of my prison
cell. Not only are my hands shackled but my ankles are as well. The stone floor
is damp and covered in what I can only assume is human refuse. My eyes water from the horrendous stench. I blink, swallow hard, trying to remain composed.
Panic will not help. A rat skitters across the floor in my field of vision, and it
takes everything in my power to swallow the scream that rises to my throat. Carefully
I sit up to get a better look around. My cell is only one of many,
the others also filled with women. I must be in the bandits’ stronghold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">“Where are
we?” I call out softly to the woman in the cell beside mine. The only
acknowledgment I receive is her dead, blank stare.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">“Well, my
pretty, little slave, I see you’re finally awake.” A voice booms from the hall
in front of my cell. The women in the surrounding cells shudder and cringe at
the voice. Shakily, I try to rise to face the man leaning against the bars of
my prison. My legs give out, and I fall back to the floor in a heap before
finally pushing myself to my feet. “You definitely have spirit,” he says as I
stand and glare at him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">He opens
the cell door and grabs me by the hair, forcing me back to my knees. As he
holds my hair up another bandit enters and places a leather collar around my
neck before quickly departing. My captor pulls me back to my feet, this time by
the thick metal chain attached to the collar at my neck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">“Come,
slave. I already have a buyer interested in you. He came for the head of a
bounty I killed, but became interested in you when I told him the man was
trying to rescue you.” As he drags me down the hall, my mind screams in protest.
A man tried to rescue me. It could only be Zane. Then that would mean…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">Tears
streak down my face as I realize that Zane is dead, killed in an attempt to
rescue me from these filthy bandits. I stumble and fall to my knees, but my
captor refuses to slow. Unable to stand again, I’m forced to crawl quickly
behind the horrible man as he yanks on the collar choking me. We arrive at a
large wooden door, and the bandit hauls me to my feet before opening it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">“Come,
little one. You should be honored that such a powerful man is interested in
you,” he says as he leads me into the brightly lit room. “Here’s the girl that
the bounty was trying to rescue.” As my eyes adjust to the brightness of the
room, I notice a man sitting at a table near the wall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">“Leave us,”
the new man orders in a brusque tone. My captor immediately steps outside and
closes the door behind him. For some reason his quick acquiescence makes me
fear the man before me even more. “Come, sit.” He motions to the chair beside
him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">Never
taking my eyes from the man, I approach the table, the short chain between the
shackles on my ankles making walking difficult. I ease my battered body onto
the hard, wooden chair. Biting the inside of my lip, I raise my eyes to my new
captor. The man is handsome, with long, flowing, brown hair pooling around his
waist. His eyes are an intense shade of dark red…just like Zane’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">“So,
you’re the one my foolish son thought dear enough to take on an entire bandit
stronghold. I’m sorry to say that it didn’t work out for him, my dear.” Fresh
tears form and run down my face, warming my chilled cheeks. “Oh don’t cry,
precious. I’ll take good care of you in my son’s place.” He reaches out and
lightly caresses my hair, and I cringe away in revulsion. “You will come to
respect me soon enough, my little slave. There will come a time when you will
beg your master to touch you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">He rises
and moves behind me. It takes everything in my power to allow him to leave my
line of sight. When his hands touch my shoulders, I steel my nerves to keep
from flinching since he seems to enjoy my distress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">“Such a
strong will you have,” he purrs the words in my ear. “I will thoroughly enjoy
breaking it.” His maniacal laughter echoes throughout the room as he crosses
back to his chair. “I have a gift for you. We will hang it on the wall in your
room to commemorate your new life with me.” He pushes a burlap sack across the
table until it’s in front of me. “Come, my dear, open your present.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">With
trembling fingers, I untie the string holding the sack closed. Once the string
is released, the sack falls open. Bile rushes from my stomach to my throat. Leaning
over, I vomit on the floor at my side. Horrible tremors wrack my body. My
stomach continues retching uncontrollably. I shut my eyes to block out the
hideous sight before me, but the image is seared into my brain and there is no
escape. My new master cackles gleefully at my reaction to his ‘gift’. I open my
eyes again and find myself staring in horror at the bundle on the table. Zane’s
garnet eyes stare back sightlessly from his decapitated head. Something in my
mind breaks, and I fall into blissful unconsciousness, my master’s laughter
echoing in my ears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

enjoy it when I just (accidentally) killed someone, my mom and brother are in
danger, and the Consortium is trying to enslave humanity? (Yeah, they aren’t
fooling around.) So feeling something for Reid Wentworth was not part of the

<br />
Emme is a sophomore in high school who starts dating, Brendon Agretti, the popular senior who happens to be a senator's son and well-known for his good looks. Emme feels out of her comfort zone in Brendon's world and it doesn't help that his picture perfect ex, Lauren seems determined to get back into his life along with every other girl who wants to be the future Mrs. Agretti.<br />
<br />
Emme is already conflicted due to the fact her last boyfriend cheated on her and her whole world is off kilter with her family issues. Life suddenly seems easier keeping Brendon away and relying on her crystals and horoscopes to guide her. Emme soon starts to realize she needs to focus less on the stars and more on her senses.<br />
<br />
Can Emme get over her insecurities and make her relationship work? Life sure is complicated when you're dating the it guy.<br />

<b>Excerpt</b><br />
<br />
The next day, I went to the newspaper office to drop off my story. I hoped I wouldn’t run into Lauren, Brendon’s perfect ex, but she was there with her feet up on her desk, talking on the phone. She put up her finger to signal me to wait. There was no place to sit so I stared at the posters on the wall. Lauren was wearing a blue zip-up sweatshirt and sweatpants. Her shiny hair was pulled back in a ponytail (a bouncy one of course), which showed off her diamond earrings. She had some pearly lavender lipstick on, the kind that makes most people look like a corpse, but on her it showed off her flawless complexion and rosy cheeks. Plus, she didn’t need any other makeup with those gray eyes.<br />
<br />
I had spent forty-five minutes on my hair and makeup and wore a pair of designer jeans I got on sale and a cute fitted sweater I borrowed from Margaux, yet Lauren was hotter in her sweats and ponytail with hardly any makeup on.<br />
<br />
“Sorry, talking to the assistant editor at the Post,” she said.
Stupid namedropper—wait the Post? Where I had gotten the internship—the same one taken away from me?
“I’m interning there,” she said.<br />
<br />
“That’s nice.” Get me out of here. She got my position?<br />
<br />
“This is my second time there. I started in the summer, but they wanted me to stay on for the fall. So what can I do for you?” she asked as I tried to keep myself from howling over the unfairness of the universe.<br />
<br />
“Here’s the Halloween party story. I e-mailed it to the submission address, but Brendon said you also needed a hard copy.”<br />
<br />
“Oh, I thought Brendon was going to write this,” she said.<br />
<br />
“He asked me to…is it okay?”<br />
<br />
“I guess.” She dropped it in a box and began typing furiously on her laptop.<br />
<br />
“You’re welcome.” I hated her. I can’t believe she got my internship at the Post and moved in on my ex-boyfriend. I could just imagine her and Brendon’s life together—it would be like a glossy, preppy perfume ad. Their house would be in a magazine where they’d praise her for her good taste. Then their two perfect children Brendon Jr. and Lily (or whatever rich people name their daughters) would be dressed in perfect little outfits that matched the furniture. Meanwhile, I’d still be trying to work at the Post and wearing designer clothes from the final markdown sale rack at some bargain-basement store.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Green. That was the first sign that Keiron was somewhere and <i>somewhen</i> else. The drab grays of home
were gone, replaced by a vibrant, lush promise of springtime. Everything in his
vision was on the cusp of exploding into action as the days grew longer,
warmer, and alive. With exaggerated delicacy, he moved his head slowly, like it
was full of water because the fall had been long and his push backward into the
light of days left him sore and muzzy. Whatever he’d expected, it hadn’t been a
body filled with dull aches and the promise of bruises to come. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> “Maybe I’ll just sit
here until my head is clear.” The wind freshened with a promise of rain,
squelching the idea of inactivity. In stages, he dragged himself painfully
upright, wondering for the first time why he hadn’t merely glided all the way
to his landing. As he rose, his arms began to pinwheel in a wild gyration,
ending only when he pitched face forward into the moist grass with an inelegant
thud. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> The only time he’d
ever fallen in his entire life had been when he was a child, before he learned
how to open—<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> His wings were gone.
A searing jolt of fear raged through him, spiking into every corner of his body
and ending in the most delicate place it could. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> His mind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> He shook, breath
coming in ragged gasps while reaching desperately over each shoulder to find
nothing but empty air. He was stripped, defenseless, and maimed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> He was broken. He was
ordinary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> And ordinary was not
good enough to save her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> Only twice in his
life had stories of the wingless come to him; in each case, the piteous
creature had been a criminal who the council banished for a shadowy reason so
heinous it was kept from the children. But this—his hands waved in a weak
rhythm as if they too could not believe his condition. He was, what, exactly?
Wingless? No, that could not be, as he’d committed no crime. Garrick, his
brother and apparent rival, had pushed him from House Windhook. Keiron’s
thoughts and intentions were far from criminal, and could be no reason for
banishment, let alone stealing his wings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: inherit; line-height: 106%; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"> Still, he sat, pained
with the understanding that this was truly a one-way trip. His cause had gone
from noble to permanent, and he knew that the vistas of House Windhook were now
little more than a memory. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

die. It was simple as that. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But the store also holds secrets—a formidable door missing its knob, a mystery bound in magic books, and the haunted look in Nikolay’s eyes. And there are crows that follow me home. Crows only I can see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I can’t tell whether the crows are a threat or a warning. But one thing is certain, I’m in too deep to walk away. There is something behind that door in the bookstore. And it’s the key to getting the crows to stop, before they turn into something far more sinister.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Intrinsic is a mystical venture through ink and time, deliciously eerie, with enough angst, enigmas, and romantic charge to make your nails bite into your palms. Don't miss this captivating, standalone companion to Cortney Pearson's Phobic.</span><br />

<strong>The Dark Lands </strong><br />
<b><br /></b><strong>Christina Bauer</strong><br />
<b><br /></b>(Angelbound Origins #5)<br />
<br />Published by: Monster House Books<br />Publication date: September 25th 2018<br />Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
Nineteen-year-old Myla Lewis is loving life—she’s now a wife, mother, and Queen of the Thrax. Oh yeah, and being a super-powerful demigoddess who moves souls into Heaven or Hell doesn’t suck, either. In fact, everything is pretty much awesome. </blockquote>
Until something craptastic happens.<br />
<blockquote>
Her honorary older brother Walker enters the Dark Lands, home to the rule-loving ghouls, and vanishes without a trace.<br />
Now it’s up to Myla to solve the mystery of Walker’s disappearance. Of course, Myla likes interacting with ghouls about as much as elective dental surgery. To make matters harder, everyone thinks that Walker is simply taking a well-deserved vacation. But Myla and her Angelbound love, Lincoln, both suspect that the ghoul Oligarchy took Walker in order to somehow release Lucifer, the ex-King of the Angels and an all around nut job who really needs to stay locked up.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Long story short, Myla and Lincoln have just two days to rescue their good friend and stop Lucifer from taking over the after-realms. Even for them, this may be a too-tall order, especially when Myla’s own father allows his past friendship with Lucifer to threaten Walker’s future.</blockquote>

We never know from breath to breath if it will be our last. When we go to sleep at night, will we wake up in the morning? Of course that brings back past trauma of that awful childhood prayer my mother had me recite-- "...If I should die before I wake..." Seriously? What five-year-old should be reciting that. But I digress...<br />
<br />
For a while YOLO was my favorite acronym because I do like to live in the moment, to draw joy from even the simple things in life. Until a friend of mine pointed out that YOLO should instill the desire to take things slow and carefully, lest you lose this one life. There's always a buzz-kill somewhere lurking out there. I tried to explain my version of YOLO, that life is too short for regrets and grudges, that we should try to LIVE every day of our lives yet still plan for the future. Yeah, she didn't get it. So YOLO kinda died that day.<br />
<br />
Perhaps <i>carpe diem</i> is a better motto. Seize the day. Forgive someone. Help a person in need. Stop and smell the flowers or gasoline or barbeque or cheap cologne-- whatever your neighborhood smells like. Hug your grandma or grandpa. Tell your parents you love them. Let your SO and kids know how special they are. Pet a dog-- pet every dog you see. Kiss a cat. Whatever makes you feel good. Seizing the day doesn't have to mean excitement and travel, dinners out or expensive shopping. It's enjoying the little things in life that truly make life worth living.Kimber Leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06344815479808361730noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184028934399052409.post-16049251815522083172017-06-01T00:03:00.000-05:002017-06-01T00:03:12.175-05:00Cover Reveal!!

<strong>Lady of Sherwood </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><br />
<strong>Molly Bilinski</strong><br /><br />
(Outlaws of Sherwood #1)<br /><br />
Published by: Clean Teen Publishing<br />Publication date: April 24th 2017<br />Genres: Fairy Tales, Fantasy, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText1007859768867778144">Robin of Lockesly was neither the son her father wanted, nor the daughter her mother expected. When she refuses an arranged marriage to a harsh and cruel knight, the deadly events that follow change her destiny forever.</span></blockquote>
After a night of tragedy, Robin and the few remaining survivors flee to Nottingham. With a newfound anonymity, they start to live different lives. There, she and her band make mischief, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. But charity isn’t the only thing she wants–she wants revenge.<br />
<blockquote>
As the sheriff draws his net closer, Robin’s choices begin to haunt her. She’ll have to choose between what’s lawful and what her conscience believes is right–all while staying one step ahead of the hangman.<br />
Lady of Sherwood is a unique young adult retelling of the beloved Robin Hood legend. Filled with action and romance, this new series follows a teenage heroine through her fantastic, yet dangerous adventures.</blockquote>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Other girls—some of the youngest ones from the kitchen—came from the brush. Smoke clung to them like a shroud, and tears had run in rivers down soot-stained cheeks. Ginny, the youngest at six, ran to Jemma and attached herself like a limpet to the older girl’s legs.</div>
“Where is everyone else?” Robin asked, glancing between them and then back at the flaming manor. “Where is—where’s—” Her face heated even as the rest of her body grew chilled, and she stuffed her first in her mouth to muffle her scream.<br />
“We are the only ones.”<br />
Robin looked up at Kitty, surprised to find herself on her knees in the damp grass. She curled her shaking fingers into fists, and then rested them on her thighs. “How—what happened?”<br />
“That man,” the girl went on, absently twisting her skirt in her hands. “The one who’d been courting you… he came for you in the night. When he couldn’t find you, he gathered everyone in the great hall.”<br />
“Except you lot?” Jemma inquired.<br />
“He was hurting her.” Kitty’s eyes took on a glossy quality. “He had Maggie by the hair, and he was hurting her. She had Ginny behind her, protecting her. I—I hit him over the head with a candle stand.”<br />
“We went through the old tunnel,” another voice piped up. Maggie slipped her hand into Kitty’s. “Me and Kitty and Ginny.”<br />
“And my—my mother?” Robin took a deep, shuddering breath.<br />
“She kept her secret. We heard ‘im, shouting. He wanted to know where you was.” Ginny, this time. She wandered away from Jemma, and Robin opened her arms for her to nestle into. She’d helped Jemma look after the younger servants on the sly for years. Whether they’d been orphaned at birth or left to the streets, Jemma had brought them each back to the manor, and she’d given them a home and a hope the rest of the world didn’t offer. “She didn’t tell, Robin. She didn’t tell him where you was.”<br />
“I heard Charlotte say you were gone,” Maggie said quietly. “She’d gone to your mother’s chambers to tell her. Miss Jemma was gone, too, and so was your bow.” She shrugged, a delicate lift of her shoulders. “We all thought you had gone to the field.”<br />
“And she said nothing?” Robin’s heart beat hard against her ribcage.<br />
“Lady was very brave,” Ginny murmured.<br />
“She was,” Robin agreed. “Like you are. You <em>all</em>.” She looked at each of the other girls, who stared back, clearly waiting.<br />
It hit her then—they were waiting for <em>her</em>. With the only survivors of the manor in front of her, and her mother dead—God rest her soul, God hold them <em>all</em> in His hand—it occurred to her in that moment. <em>She</em> was the Lady of Lockesly.<br />

I stared into those beautiful blue eyes. The tightness eased. Breathing wasn’t a chore. “I’m not saying tomorrow will be better.”<br />
Her lips flipped up in a sardonic smile. “It’s possible tomorrow will be worse. This is hospice after all.”<br />
“I’m expecting worse.” I tilted my head back and groaned. “I don’t want my mum’s death to drag out. Too many people are counting on me.”<br />
“You’ll do the best you can.”<br />
“Doesn’t feel good enough.”<br />
“Welcome to the club. Speaking of, my sister doesn’t believe I met you, Mr. World Famous Rock Star.”<br />
I raised my eyebrow. I cradled her shoulders. I liked holding Briar. Wasn’t a briar some kind of rose? Sweet but with enough defenses to bloom. I liked that—she’d fight for her chances.<br />
“We’ll have to take a selfie. For digital proof.”<br />
“Thought you didn’t like digital proof and journos, as you call them.”<br />
“Reckon I don’t. But . . . I’m making an exception.”<br />
Her lips curved up and her eyes sparkled. The weight from my chest eased a little and I could draw a full breath. “I’d like that. Ready to go?”<br />
“Photo first.”<br />
I grabbed her phone and positioned us together before snapping a few photos. “For posterity or whatever.”<br />
She smiled again and the world shone brighter. I didn’t want to turn around and look at the building again.<br />
“I know just the place to go.”<br />
She snagged my hand, her cool fingers sliding between mine, our palms fusing softly. Something in me clicked, like I’d just latched into a safety belt. I followed behind her as she pulled me toward her car again. After she unlocked it, I opened her door and waited for her to slide in. Instead, she stepped in closer, her body heat mingling with mine.<br />
“I’ve done a lot of soul-searching these past few months, Hayden. But today, with Ken’s comments, my purpose became clear.” She closed her eyes, reliving something. “I’m tired of closing off, pushing people away,” she whispered. “It’s all I’ve done for years.” She opened her eyes, filled with the fire of new determination. “So I mean it when I say I’ll be here with you. Through this. As your friend.”<br />
I ran my knuckle down her cheek, marveling at the smooth, firm texture of her skin. “I don’t know how I got so lucky in the friend department, but I’m chuffed you’re here. And such a gorgeous lady at that.”<br />
She rolled her eyes, and I winked. Walking around the car, I curled my fingers tight to hold in the fading heat from her skin. I glanced up at the building. Whatever my mum needed to tell me, I needed to hear. I could process her reasons and come to terms with her years of rejection later, but for now, she wanted me to know her side of the story. And I’d listen.<br />
As I eased into the car, Briar’s floral scent wrapped around me, cradling me almost as well as her arms had just moments before.<br />

<strong>Excerpt from XANDER: AN INCANDESCENT STORY by ELLE SCOTT</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
My feet drag with my legs feeling heavy underneath me. I see a stray stone and kick it along the path. It scuttles along the concrete path and hides itself into the garden-bed along the edge of the science wing.<br />
A flicker to my right catches my eye—at first I’m expecting it to be a tree branch shaking in the wind, but then I see a body. He’s tall and dark and his glasses have slid down his nose; he’s wearing a grin and holds a large silver ball. It’s the professor Ross was with. How did he get out here so quick? There must be another entrance nearby. The Professor gently holds the silver ball as if he is handling a two-hour-old newborn baby. He closes his eyes. The ball shimmers brightly for a second and then him and the ball are… gone. I blink a few times. Am I going crazy? My head moves so fast a twinge makes its way from my shoulder to my skull.<br />
‘Argh,’ I mumble, rubbing my neck.<br />
Did I just see what I saw? Has the heat gotten to me?<br />
I roll my head to loosen my seized muscles, side to side, forward and up—<br />
There’s Ross. He is looking out a window on the second floor, eyes and mouth wide. And beside him, with a proud smile firmly planted on his face, is the professor.<br />
I glance back at the spot where the professor disappeared from, grass strands still squashed where he stood. Is this what world-changing looks like?<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">~ Allora is a shy, yet opinionated teenager who is unaware
of her subtle beauty. She is coming to terms with her inner strength and
otherworldly origin, while still trying to feel normal in the high school
environment. Her confidence builds as the story moves along. The issues that
she finds important also shifts. With that, the pressure of her lineage brings
its own set of problems and she struggles to find the right path. She is also
very strong-willed, intelligent, kind, and honest girl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">~ The story was inspired by a vivid dream. I wrote the book
for 3 months afterwards, with no real knowledge or prep work beforehand. During
the editing process, I did a lot of research on Greek, Roman, and Egyptian
mythology, which helped with grounding the story in a familiar setting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">~ The books are definitely a mesh of all three genres. I’ve
tried to create a world where magic is explained through science, while also
making magic unexplainable, just as spirituality requires us to believe in that
which we can not see. Regarding mythology, I always wondered why the ancient
gods of our stories were so flawed. That made no sense to me, unless those
beings were really just mortals with special gifts or abilities beyond human
comprehension at that point in time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Sonora and the Eye of the Titans</i></span></strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><br />
<strong>T.S. Hall</strong><br /><br />
Publication date: January 14th 2017<br />Genres: Urban Fantasy, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
The King is dead, and the capital city of Titanis has fallen. The world of Sonora is at war, and the only hope against the onslaught of the Titan army lies with the last royal descendant of Zeus, who is being covertly sheltered on Earth in the secluded mountain town of Sandy, Oregon. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
Allora is a shy, intelligent sixteen-year-old, trying to get through the gauntlet of high school while coming to terms with her otherworldly origins. After getting into a fight at soccer tryouts, Allora’s emotions boil over, and her hands suddenly burst into flames. She has harnessed the power of hadrons at the highest level, but at extreme cost. The magical outburst projects an energy signature that is detected by a group of assassins tasked with killing Sonoran rebels.</blockquote>
To survive, Allora, Katie, Dax, and Tanner must find a powerful ancient artifact known as the Eye of the Titans. With the help of a guardian known as Sasquatch, they will have to fight off creatures, solve complex riddles, and navigate magical caverns, all while enduring advanced calculus, jealous girlfriends, and prom.<br />

to be the best Agent possible. Growing up in a Military Training Academy for

<strong>July Lightning </strong><br /><strong>Shannon A. Thompson</strong><br />(Bad Bloods #4)<br />Published by: Clean Teen Publishing<br />Publication date: May 1st 2017<br />Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText13496089976244149179">From best-selling author Shannon A. Thompson comes an exciting new duology in the Bad Bloods universe.</span></blockquote>
Sixteen-year-old Caleb has been called many things: a patient, a musician, even a prostitute…now he has a new name—son. After his identity is uncovered, Caleb bands together with the family he once rejected in order to save the city of Vendona. But it won’t be easy. Enemies wait around every corner—and so do harsh realities.<br />
<br />
With Violet and Kuthun by his side though, nothing seems impossible. As Vendona sits on the verge of an economic collapse and a massive hurricane threatens the city, Violet and Caleb must show its citizens how to overcome decades of hostility and division to save themselves.<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText13496089976244149179">Standing or not, a sea will rage, a wall may fall, and all will depend on immortal pain and sacrifice.</span></blockquote>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Everyone in the Pits called the fifteen-year-old Skeleton, for obvious reasons. Supposedly, the bad blood had been born a normal, healthy baby boy, but, over time, his skin unraveled and revealed pieces of bone. Somehow, defying all science, the boy continued to live. The last time I’d seen him, his right arm and chin showed bone, but now, half his face and all his fingers had contorted to the haunting shape. Even Adam cringed.</div>
<br />
“You here to fight?” Skeleton asked, eyeing both Adam and me.<br />
<br />
I attempted to answer, but Adam shouted over me. “You work here?”<br />
<br />
The betrayal Adam felt was one I would never comprehend, even if I wanted to. Adam was a bad blood. To see a fellow bad blood protect the Pits that killed his kind went beyond my human pain. I volunteered to fight. Bad bloods often didn’t. Moments like this reminded me why Kuthun slapped me when I told him I wished I was a bad blood. Just because I sympathized with them and loved them, lived with them and listened to them, did not mean I would ever be one. I could never feel the same emotions Adam did, and Adam couldn’t comprehend mine.<br />
<br />
“The humans aren’t the only ones who see value in bad blood.” Skeleton egged Adam on, and Adam fell for it.<br />
<br />
“You mean, your blood.”<br />
<br />
The boy’s bony fingers rattled against the door. “Of course,” he said, then smiled. The addition of teeth only made the bony boy look worse.<br />
<br />
“You’re one of us,” Adam snapped. “How could you—”<br />
<br />
I stepped in front of my cousin. Thankfully, my actions stopped him. “We’re here to talk to Connelly,” I said.<br />
<br />
The lanky, crass kid looked me over and stepped aside, but as we passed, he gave in to temptation. “If you need a tag for the bad blood, let me know.”<br />
<br />
Adam knocked the boy out cold before I could stop him. That was how fast his powers worked. And, for once, I didn’t feel the need to reprimand him.<br />
<br />
“You know you have to fight if you hurt the workers,” I said.<br />
<br />
“No one will know,” Adam said as he strode past me. “You’re good at keeping secrets, right?”<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nearly sixteen years after relinquishing the
rights to his unborn child, Noah Cooper is stunned to discover his daughter,
Hope, wants to meet him. With the love and support of his family, Noah sets off
from Elk Flats, Montana to Albany, New York, having no idea what changes are in
store for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cancer survivor and widow, Beth Peterson, is
more than a little nervous to meet her daughter’s birth father. Their initial
meeting goes well, but things decline in a hurry when Noah invites Hope to
spend time at the ranch without speaking to Beth about it first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Determined to meet her new family, a battle of
wills ensues between Hope and her mother. While Hope longs for a connection,
Beth fears losing her daughter to virtual strangers—strangers who live two
thousand miles away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Struggles and misunderstandings abound between
Noah and Beth, despite their growing attraction for one another. Noah is ready
to commit, while Beth can’t let go of the memory of her husband and the
imperfections cancer has forced her to live with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Will hope, patience, and prayer be enough to

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Over dinner Hope chatted on about
school, her dreams to become a veterinarian, and the school play she was taking
part in. “I have a really good part. Do you think you could come back to see
me, Noah?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“As much as I’d like to, I’m not sure
I could get away so soon.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Honey, that’s a lot to ask. The play
is only a month away, and Noah doesn’t exactly live across town.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Sure.” Hope swirled the mashed
potatoes on her plate with her fork. “I understand.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The downward bent of Hope’s mouth tore
at Noah’s insides. He’d barely made contact and was already letting her down.
He swallowed his final bite of meat. “Maybe you could spend some time at the
ranch over the summer.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hope’s frown quickly turned to a
face-splitting grin. “That would be amazing. I can’t wait to tell Jenny.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fire practically shot from Beth’s
eyes, and Noah knew he’d put his foot in it big time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">****<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beth
asked Hope to clear the table and clean the kitchen. “I’m going to show Noah
the garden. We’ll have dessert when we come back.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Sure, Mom.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“The garden’s this way.” Beth walked
past Noah toward the sliding glass door. She opened it with more force than
necessary, causing the door to slam into its metal casing. Cringing at the
racket, she was less forceful with the screen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Noah followed her onto the deck.
“Look, I know I spoke—” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Not here.” She descended the stairs
at a brisk pace and walked across the yard until she reached the gazebo. The
walk and cool air did nothing to calm her nerves. Spinning around, she faced
him. “You had no right to extend an invitation like that without speaking to me
first.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I know, and I’m sorry. The words just
came out before I had a chance to think about what I was saying.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Yeah, well, sorry isn’t going to help
when I have to tell Hope she won’t be going. I opened my home to you so that
you could meet your daughter, not for you to whisk her away at the first
opportunity.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He held up his hands. “Whisk her away?
No, you’ve got it all wrong. I expect you to come with her. Hope has other
family, which means you do, too. I think she’d enjoy a couple of weeks of ranch
life, and you’re both going to love my family.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You assume a lot for someone who’s
barely known me for twenty-four hours and my daughter half that amount of time.
And, yes, I did say <i>my</i> daughter. You
may have fathered her, but I raised her.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“That’s a low blow, Beth.” Noah’s easy
smile vanished. He leaned against the railing and crossed his arms over his
chest. The mixture of hurt and anger in his eyes pained her. She knew she was
overreacting but couldn’t help herself. He was moving too fast. Surely he
realized that. “I think it might be best if you don’t stay for dessert. I’ll
explain to Hope.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ll be the first to admit that my
enthusiasm may have gotten the better of me.” He uncrossed his arms and pointed
to her. “But you’re the one who invited me into Hope’s life. You asked if I was
in for the long-haul, so I assumed you understood I’d want to bring Hope to Montana
from time to time.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When I asked my readers what they wanted to know more about
concerning the Fairy World MD series, I got KULL, the CAT, and the LAPTOP!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
PART I: THE CAT!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Name: Han Solo<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Color: Gray<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Owner: Olive Kennedy<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Favorite activities: Stalking birds in the window, chasing
socks, napping, eating kitty kibbles, and NAPPING!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What does Han do when Olive is gone? First, Olive feels very
bad about leaving Han behind all the time, but since the fate of the two worlds
is usually on the line, she doesn’t have much of a choice. Han is not as lonely
as some might think. In the earlier books, Olive’s elderly neighbor checks on
him twice a day. Olive doesn’t know, but her neighbor brings over cans of tuna
fish and balls of yarn. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Han and the neighbor get along well, although Han always
prefers the company of Olive to anyone else.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later, Olive asks Brent to check on Han. While Han doesn’t
get as spoiled, he does like Brent because his hair always smells of that wax
that has a faint fishy odor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once, two strange-smelling people broke into Olive’s
apartment and tore it apart, but Han stayed out of sight under the bed. When
the strangers left, Han found an unexpected surprise. The thieves had left the
refrigerator opened. They had spilled luscious bologna all over the kitchen
floor!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Han ate until his whiskers got greasy and his belly round
and uncomfortable. When Brent found him, he brought him back to his place in
Houston. At Brent’s house, he finally met up with Olive again, only for her to
leave on yet another quest to save all humanity. Le cat sigh… <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
*This story is continued in Deathbringer.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
PART II: The LAPTOP!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Olive made her magical laptop mirror in Boston when she was
doing residency training for a year. She worked at a computer lab that doubled
as a computer graveyard. Old computers would break and be brought to the lab
where parts would be harvested to repair other computers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For some time, Olive had been trying to find a way to
diagnose her patients. She’d found that different types of magic triggered
specific memories. For example, if someone had interacted with elves in
Faythander, blue magic would trigger their memories. If they interacted with
dragons, green magic would appear, and so on…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She created her five figurines before she made the laptop,
but she needed a way to keep them organized.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One day, while gutting out an old laptop, she had the idea
to use it as a box for her figurines. She replaced the computer keys with a
velvet lining, and she replaced the screen with a mirror that she enchanted
with Faythander magic.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The laptop is also a symbol for those savvy enough to pick
up on it. She creates the mirror box on Earth, using a piece of Earth Kingdom
junk. It represents a time of her life when she spent more time on Earth than
in Fairy World. Earth is a place she always tries to fit into by never succeeds,
just as she fits her statuettes from Faythander into a piece of Earth
technology.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later, she’ll use other various types of boxes, which
represent differing aspects of her life. One represents her lost childhood, and
another the person she’s always meant to be—but if I told you everything, I’d
give it all away, and what’s the fun in that?</div>

<strong>Deathbringer </strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><br />
<strong>Tamara Grantham</strong><br />(Fairy World M.D., Olive Kennedy)<br /><br />
Published by: Crimson Tree Publishing<br />Publication date: April 25th 2017<br />Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText10718235799165188570">Some heroes are fated to save the world. Others are meant to destroy it…</span></blockquote>
Olive Kennedy is all about positive thinking. She’s been stuck on Earth for the past four months, waiting for the spring equinox to arrive so she can return to Fairy World — but she’s staying positive. She’s hopeful she’ll once again see her handsome Viking fiancé who’s waiting for her. She’s optimistic that her mission to reclaim the sword of Dracon — a sword of King Arthur fame and the only weapon capable of killing Theht — won’t result in death and destruction. And then there’s the small matter of an asteroid that’s been ripped out of its orbit and is hurtling toward Earth…no biggie.<br />
<blockquote>
One last thing — she’s fated to destroy the world. To stop that prophecy from being fulfilled, she may have to sacrifice the one person she loves the most.<br />
Good thing she’s staying positive.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I stood and crossed to my bedroom, then grabbed my backpack and slung it over my shoulder. After grabbing my temporary mirror case out of a drawer, I placed it on top of my dresser.</div>
<br />
I wasn’t sure if I should cringe or laugh as I scanned my new mirror. I’d found it at the dollar store after a frustrating day of trying to create a new mirror box with no success. I’d bought it because it was absurd and to remind myself that it was temporary.<br />
<br />
The plastic box was pink with the name BARBIE scrolled on the top. Inside was a foam liner that had once held five nail polish bottles. I’d cut the foam to make larger slots. Now, it held my five figurines that represented the races of Faythander: Dragon, elf, Wult, pixie, and goblin.<br />
<br />
After unlocking the latch, I opened the lid. “You’re fabulous! Inside and out!” sang to me in a bubble-gum voice as I propped the lid open.<br />
<br />
As I said, temporary solution. Extremely temporary. It had a mirror under the lid and was the perfect size for my figurines, so it worked. For now.<br />
<br />
Scanning my figurines, I found the Wult and removed it from the foam, then propped it upright against the mirror. I needed to get to the Wultlands, and this would be the easiest way to do so.<br />
I ignored the glittery scrolling along the edges of the mirror and focused on the glass. Taking a deep breath, I paused before touching my fingers to the mirror.<br />
<br />
Months ago, the portals had started acting erratically. I’d thought the problem had been solved after we’d restored the fairies’ stone, but when I’d returned to Earth four months ago, the portal had almost torn me apart. I’d gotten several stitches in my abdomen because the crossing had been so violent.<br />
<br />
Since then, I hadn’t once been able to open a portal, but tonight, I had no choice. I needed to return to Faythander before the equinox, and I had one thing in my favor—I hadn’t tried opening a portal with my new Barbie box yet.<br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Here’s to hoping my luck improved, I thought. Then again, this was my luck we were talking about. Yeah, probably not.</em><br />
<br />
Carefully, I placed my fingertips to the screen, inhaled a deep breath, and then conjured the word to open the portal.<br />
<br />
Magic flowed from my heart, through my arms and hands, and into the mirror. Gold and amber swirls licked like fire over my skin as the magic interacted with the mirror, mingling with the blue glow coming from the plastic case.<br />
<br />
The power grew inside me as the portal opened. Wind swirled around me until the room disappeared and I floated in a void. Voices came from somewhere. Soft whispers. Among them was a familiar one. The cold, detached voice of Theht.<br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>I am here. I am waiting.</em><br />
<br />
I’d gotten better at tuning her out, but being in a place like this, between worlds, made it almost impossible to keep her away.<br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Soon, we shall destroy the world together. Deathbringer.</em><br />
<br />
The wind grew stronger and faster, wrapping around me, squeezing the air from my lungs. It compressed me until I couldn’t breathe. Pain coursed through my nerve endings as the pressure weighed me down. I felt as if I’d been buried under millions of tons of sand.<br />
<br />
I cried out, but couldn’t hear my voice over the wind. Tears leaked from my eyes. I felt their warmth on my cheeks. In a desperate attempt to survive, I focused on the magic within me, unleashing every ounce, pouring it into the portal to keep it steady.<br />
<br />
I thought for sure I was dead when I hit the ground. I landed awkwardly, my shoulder and hips taking the brunt of the impact. My mirror, on the other hand, made a graceful landing in a pile of leaves beside me.<br />
<br />
I lay on the ground, panting for air, staring at the faded blue sky through the patchwork of branches with budding green shoots.<br />
<br />
“Never again,” I muttered between gasps. Next time, I would find a Viking ship and cross through an underground ocean filled with man-eating sea-snakes before using a portal. “Never. Again.”<br />
<br />
On the bright side, at least I’d finally made it back to Faythander. The $.99 investment into the Barbie mirror wasn’t such a bad buy after all.<br />
<br />

<strong>Davenport House Prequel: Debutante</strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><br />
<strong>Marie Silk</strong><br /><br />
Publication date: April 21st 2017<br />Genres: Historical, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
The family saga begins in Debutante, a prequel to the best-selling Davenport House series. A life of luxury for the Davenports means drudgery for the servants on the grand country estate. This is their story in 1909 America, six years prior to the events of book one.</blockquote>
While her father is away on business, sixteen-year-old Mary Davenport feels confined and alone, despite her privileged life at the family’s mansion. As the day of Mary’s debutante ball draws near, the servants are conflicted by instructions from Mary’s mother to starve her until she fits into a gown that was made too small. Mary is also under pressure to act the part of society while being forbidden from seeing her only friend, the servant boy who works in the stable.<br />
<blockquote>
In a shantytown hours away, a young girl called Abigail is hired to sew a gown for a dressmaker’s wealthy patron. Abigail gives up her education in order to provide for her impoverished family. Neither she nor Mary is aware of how connected their futures are destined to become.</blockquote>

<strong>The Gentleman’s Promise</strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><br />
<strong>Frances Fowlkes</strong><br /><br />
(Daughters of Amhurst, #3)<br /><br />
Published by: Entangled Publishing<br />Publication date: April 17th 2017<br />Genres: Adult, Historical, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText16253784585513407956">A social pariah due to her scandalous activities, Lady Sarah Beauchamp yearns for redemption to obtain a husband. The assistance of Society darling Mr. Jonathon Annesley gives her hope of success. </span></blockquote>
owever, the more effort he puts into helping her, the more she realizes the only esteem she wishes to earn is that of the handsome Jonathon. However, her reputation would potentially ruin his political aspirations.<br />
<blockquote>
Offering a gentleman’s promise to help his sister’s friend regain the favor of the ton should be easy for son of a viscount, Jonathon Annesley. After all, he’s well liked and considered a rising star in Parliament. Until he learns Sarah’s ultimate goal is a husband. No man is good enough and could ever appreciate her for all she is. But she is not for him—his focus rests solely on gaining reforms for society’s weakest members. Yet, a promise made cannot be broken…</blockquote>

Excerpt</div>
<div style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">"Would you consider kissing me?
Here and now?"</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The questions were bold, crass, and
ungentlemanly at best. Decorum stated Sarah was in no way expected to answer.
Quite honestly, he'd be surprised if she did. His devilry had likely caused her
embarrassment, if not an awkward discomfort. But damn it all if his curiosity
didn't get the better of him.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The left corner of her mouth twitched
as she held his gaze. "That was two questions. I believe the rules state I
need answer only one."</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Dear God. Was she flirting with him?</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Blood pounded loud and fast in his
ears. He took another step toward her, his back to her maid. "I leave you
to decide which question you would like to answer."</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Sarah's gaze flitted to the side, the
wind catching at the ribbon knotted attractively at her throat.
"Well…I…" She glanced upward as a fat droplet of rain landed on her
nose.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Of all the moments for the sky to open,
it had to be the one where he stood breathless, awaiting her response.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">His day was governed by the devil.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">"Yes and no," Sarah stated.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 48.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">"I beg your pardon?"</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Another drop splattered onto the scarlet wool of her
pelisse. "I've given you two responses because I'm feeling generous. It is
up to you to decide which response correlates with which question."</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">With a quick curtsy and a wave of her hand, she motioned
toward her maid and started toward the inn, leaving him standing alone with a
smile as wide as his face.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">He had not imagined her interest. She wanted to kiss him.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">If Jonathon was anything, he was a man who kept his
promises—and made certain others did as well.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">A kiss from Lady Sarah was in his
future. And he was determined to receive it.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<blockquote style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
After viewing her all-time favorite love story, "Anne of Green Gables", at the impressionable age of ten, Frances Fowlkes has been obsessed with affable boy-next door heroes, red-heads, and romance stories with lots of "highfaluting mumbo jumbo" written within their pages. It only seems natural then that she married the boy who used to pull on her curls in her high school English class, had not one, but THREE red-headed boys, and penned multiple love stories with bits of flowery prose.</blockquote>
When not writing, Frances loves spending time with her family, fangirling, and planning her next vacation.<br />
<blockquote style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
Frances Fowlkes, originally a northern mid-westerner, now lives in the southeast with her ardent hero of a husband, three playful and rambunctious boys, and one spoiled standard poodle.</blockquote>
<blockquote style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
A self-professed Anglophile and summa cum laude graduate of LeTourneau University, Frances Fowlkes combines her passion for happily-ever-afters with her interests in both American and English histories.</blockquote>
