<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I
wasn’t one of those people who thought they would write a novel, and equally
I wasn’t someone who thought about being a bikie chick either. My daughter had mentioned wanting to learn to
ride and I said I would too. So when she said she was going to
get her learners and you’re coming too, Mum. I didn’t have a leg to stand on.
All I had ever done in the past was ride a moped back in the UK and been
pillion on my husband’s bike so this was a huge step for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I turn up at the learner’s course and didn’t do too bad until the test, where I froze. The thought of having a licence that said I could go on the road was
freaking me out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Second attempt at test and I thought I was doing okay until the test
day when I had an instructor who was a male chauvinist pig to say the least. So
I was not surprised when he didn’t pass me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Third time same guy failed me
again. I was in tears and decided I would never do it again, and why was I
putting myself through this?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Unbeknownst
to me my husband and friend phoned up and complained about the instructor (they
were not the first complaint about him) and I was given another chance. I
passed with flying colors without Mr Grumpy around.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Over the next two years I practiced and
decided to go for my full test. In the meantime the test center had moved to
the other side of town and I had to ride through a thunderstorm in during peak
hour traffic and unfortunately didn’t pass. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I
had another month before I could retake my test and there was a motorbike club
get together in Mildura so I decided to ride the 400km. My husband and friends
were saying are you sure you can do it, but I had to prove to myself that I was
serious about wanting this. Now I’m not usually fearless and on the freeway I
would get freaked out by the big trucks passing and the wind gusts blowing me
around. My solution was to sing Akuna Mutate very loudly. It worked even if I
probably looked demented. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the experience taught me something about myself. When you fall off or get a

I’m still not super brave but when I ride through a busy city now. I break it up
into small pieces so that I don’t get overwhelmed by what I am doing, and I can
do the same with writing. Before I know it I’ve got there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

ago I did a fortune telling game and asked the question of whether I would get
published. The answer that came back from the cards was to enjoy the journey.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The fact that I was at a Queen concert gives you the clue I am not twenty years old. I have two daughters in their twenties and they are both jealous that I saw Freddie Mercury live. </span></div>

It was in the 1970's when I saw Queen at the Colsten Hall, Bristol UK. I loved their music. It was so different to plaything else I knew. Yes I did have a strange time when I was younger when the Osmonds' and the Jackson Five held sway, but that is another story for another blog and tells you what I got up to when I was young.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everything was brilliant with incredible music from fantastic musicians and when the band did an encore the stage was covered in smoke machine smoke. Freddie sang out from the mist.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a writer I have self doubt all the time. I have been to many conferences and heard New York Times best sellers say the same. I never thought as a young person I would write a book let alone people read it and like it. If you really want to do something then do it. Take a little time to plan. Set yourself a date. If Freddie and his friends didn't think outside the square the world would be a lesser place.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Former
Navy SEAL Sebastian “Bash” Lockard died in Afghanistan after leaping on a
grenade to save his comrades. Little did he know his act of heroism would grant
him a ticket into Heaven’s elite army as one of the few and powerful
Archangels. Struggling with his new existence, Bash still retains his human
memories, leaving behind a wife he loves with all of his heart. Although he’s
forbidden to see her, he can’t resist her lure, or the mortal desires he
harbors for her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">As a
young widow and nurse, Irene Lockard still mourns her husband two years after
his untimely death. His absence is everywhere, and when her best friend weds,
she hits an emotional rock bottom. As if summoned from the skies above,
Sebastian appears before her, and they share an unforgettable night. But when
he once again vanishes, she wonders if she’s truly gone mad with grief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sebastian can remain with Irene is if he makes the ultimate sacrifice. But will
she overcome her fear of losing him again to another war?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Bash’s gaze
caught on a couple on the dance floor, the sight of her sinking into him like
hooks and bringing him to a standstill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">With her dark
curls springing over her shoulders, she spun across the hardwood, her pale gray
dress flowing around her. Much like in his recent vision of her, she tipped her
head back and laughed, beautiful, stunning, her smile as bright as the yellow
calla lilies tucked in her hair. She swayed with a man in dress whites, a
Marine, another fucking soldier she didn’t belong with. And as the rain of
realization became a downpour of comprehension, he remembered the engagement, where
Claude proposed to Lucille—at <i>their</i>
wedding—right before Bash left for another tour of Afghanistan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">“Bash?”
Gabriel stepped in front of him, blocking his view, pale eyes narrowed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Bash’s hand
slammed into Gabriel’s chest, pushing him away as he lurched forward. Gabriel
reacted faster, though, snatching his arm and wrenching him back at least four
feet. Bash lunged again and the Arc’s hand fisted in his white button-down
shirt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">“Don’t,”
Gabriel growled, all humor draining from his angular face and setting his
expression in stone. “<i>Do not</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Bash’s heart
punched at the angel’s fist, every fiber of his being burning with the urge to
run to her, to wrap his arms around her and feel her body against his one more
time. Envy, rage, longing, and sadness blasted through him in a toxic tornado
of emotion ready to whip this place into oblivion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">He nearly

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">“You are <i>dead</i>, Sebastian. You’re no longer part
of this world. All you’ll do is bring her pain, bring <i>yourself</i> pain. Don’t do this.” Twin streams of air whistled from
the Arc’s nostrils as he shook his head. “I should’ve never brought you here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Her eyes
snapped open, her vision blanketed by huge white feathers, before a giant wing
shoved her back. Her arms flailed as she fell hard on her tailbone, the impact
rattling up her spine and clacking her jaw shut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Pain and
awareness ripped into her, the veil of fantasy torn from her eyes as she gawked
at the rail in front of her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">She was

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Her sharp
intake of air scraped her ears, her heart kicking against her ribcage as she
covered her gaping mouth with her hand. <i>Holy
shit.</i> <i>Did I sleepwalk? </i>Was she
really about to plummet to her death from fourteen stories high?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Backpedaling
across the concrete, the air cool against her thighs now that she’d nearly torn
her dress in half, she hit the glass of the sliding balcony doors. Reaching up
with a shaking hand, she clutched the handle and pulled herself haphazardly to
her feet, yanking the door open and stumbling inside. She slammed it shut
behind her, the glass rattling from the force of the blow as she flipped the
lock closed. Retreating farther, she toppled onto the bed, staring at the night
outside with growing horror.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">She recounted
her steps from when she’d arrived at the hotel. The elevator, the housekeeper,
entering the room, sitting, crying, falling asleep, the river, the blood, the
panic, the tree—<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">A loud thump
hit the balcony outside, muted by the thick glass. Her bleary eyes shot to the
figure standing on the ledge and she released a cross between a sob and a
shriek, then stifled her mouth with a hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Tall,
bare-chested, his suit jacket and shirt bunched in his fist as he tossed them
aside. Tattoos covered his arms, shoulders, and the base of his neck. Closer
now, she discerned the pattern of inked wings, pale muscles rippling, lines and
cuts he’d never worn before. His dark hair fell a little longer on top,
disheveled from the wind, his face still carved with gorgeous edges, but
thinner, wearier. His eyes were black holes, endless, consuming. Infinite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">His knuckles
rapped on the glass, the sound sending a terrified jolt into her nervous
system. His eyes bore into hers, cutting through the darkness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Reen</span></i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">. Her nickname rumbled from his lips, his voice still
that resonant timbre she adored. God, some nights she’d pleaded to hear that
sound again, just to listen to him speak one last time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">This had to

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Christ, had

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">“Reen.” He
grasped the handle, tugged on it, his inked bicep contracting. “I know you see
me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">She couldn’t
move, nailed to the bed with fear, paralyzed by disbelief. He pressed both
palms flat on the glass, big hands with callused fingers, hands that had
memorized every part of her body. He broke eye contact, dipping his head as he
murmured, “Please, baby. Let me in.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">As if his
plea granted her motor skills, Irene was suddenly on her feet, hurrying across
the carpet toward him. She struggled to control her shaking hands, trembles
reverberating through her entire body. It took her three tries to flip the
latch, and then she backed away, recoiling, afraid of this man who looked so
much like her dead lover.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">He pulled the
slider open in a smooth, fluid movement, the cool ocean breeze escaping into
the airless hotel. Setting his sights on her, he stepped over the threshold,
his presence filling the room, overwhelming her entirely. When her back hit the
main door, the opportunity to flee opened up wide, but she stilled as his scent
wafted into her nostrils, a blend of sandalwood and her husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The slider
closed behind him, the finality of the sound echoing through her bones, and she
couldn’t run.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Not from him.
Never from him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">An almost
strangled sigh escaped him and he swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing in
his throat. A gut-wrenching pain glittered in his dark eyes while he drank her
in, his gaze skittering over her from head to toe, as if reacquainting himself
with his broken disaster of a wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Finally, he
approached her in the dark, closing the distance between them, and she pressed
harder against the door. If he held her, if he so much as <i>touched</i> her, she would be lost to him, squandering any semblance of
sanity she’d managed to retain in these awful years without him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Blistering
tears flowed freely down her cheeks as he halted mere inches away, so close, so
goddamn close his warmth radiated off his bare chest. He lifted a hand and she
flinched, stopping him as if she’d slapped him. The pained expression on his
face yanked a wretched sob from her throat, and she just couldn’t believe it,
couldn’t believe he stood right there in front of her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The medal,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">His finger
brushed her cheek, tentative, soft, waiting for her to strike. When she didn’t,
he cupped her face in his hand, his skin still rough and callused, wiping away
her tears with his thumb. She leaned into his touch, unable to resist his
warmth, and he framed her face with his free hand, staring into her eyes with a
need so raw it stole what little breath she had left in her burning lungs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">“My God.” He

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;">
Beverly Walters is dying,
and before she goes she has one wish—to find a groom for her daughter. To get
the deed done, Mama enlists the dating service of Jack Somerset, Allison’s
former boyfriend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;">
The last thing
corporate-climbing Allison wants is a husband. Furious with Mama’s meddling,
and a bit more interested in Jack than she wants to admit, Allison agrees to
the scheme as long as Mama promises to search for a cure for her terminal
illness.<o:p></o:p></div>

A cross-country trip

For Mama</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red; text-transform: uppercase;">Excerpt: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bounding down the stairwell as the bell rang, Allison
shouted, “I’m coming! I’m coming. Keep your pants on!” She threw the deadbolt
off and jerked open the door.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jack Somerset stood in front of her, his chin perched on top
of a stack of Chinese take-out cartons. Shoving down her tingling gut reaction,
she commanded her heart to stop jumping like an overexcited puppy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Except for a few more laugh wrinkles around his eyes, Jack
hadn’t changed a bit since college. His brown hair still dipped over his
forehead in a shaggy mane. A lopsided smile spread across his face when he saw
her. He winked at her, his green eyes twinkling.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Well, if it isn’t the bride-to-be. Nice to see you again,
Allison.” He jiggled the cartons balanced in his arms. “I brought Chinese. I
remember it was your favorite. Moo shu pork, right?” He pushed past her and
headed toward the kitchen, apparently as well acquainted with her childhood
home as she.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Grabbing her head between her hands, she squeezed her
temples.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Chinese. Of all the
things he could have brought, he brought Chinese.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She’d broken it off with him in a Chinese restaurant . . .
over moo shu pork. Very loudly and very violently. The pork and the pot of hot
tea had landed in Jack’s lap when he tried to keep her from leaving the table.
Did his choice of entrees mean Jack hadn’t forgotten the incident? She hadn’t,
and she’d been unable to eat that particular Chinese dish since.<o:p></o:p></div>

My new release, <i>Once Upon a Lady</i>, is book eight of <i>The Soul Mate Tree Series</i> and I couldn’t
be prouder to share in a venture that showcases the talents of so many amazing
romance authors across a variety of genres. When I was first approached by Char
Chaffin asking if I’d be interested in joining the project, my first thought
was ‘I’ve never written a novella before.’ **gulp** After convincing myself
that I could indeed capture an entire story in the length of a novella, I jumped
on board. Taking a break from my debut Regency series, Men of Circumstance, I
started to toss around ideas and quickly stumbled upon Kate and Jackson.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lost in duty, if
there was anyone needing the assistance of the mystical Soul Mate Tree, it was
Kate. And who better to help her discover her destiny than Jackson, a man
equally adrift. As soon as I saw the beautiful cover created by Wren Taylor, I
knew I had my story.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
Their path, navigated by the poetic
legend created by Char and Cheryl Yeko, was filled with plenty of obstacles but
once they embraced the gift granted by the tree, not even Kate’s ducal father
could stand in their way.<o:p></o:p></div>

Respectable Lady Katherine Baxton, striving to meet the
requirements of her station, has become the ultimate dutiful daughter. And now,
the Duke of Blackthorn’s betrothed. Far from a love match, Kate is nevertheless
determined to do as expected and marry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
That all changes the night she panics at her impending
future and runs, stumbling upon a private grove, a mysterious tree. . . and a
half-naked man.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The youngest son of a viscount widely thought to have
purchased his title, Jackson Cooper demonstrates his disdain for the
aristocracy by affording himself every luxury available—drinking, wenching, and
gambling—while eschewing anything representing the <i>ton</i>. Jackson has little care for his reputation and no desire to
marry. His escape from London is all but complete.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Until fate—in the form of a beautiful, mysterious
lady—interrupts his plans, enticing him with the very thing he never wanted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b>Short
Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Kate felt his
approach before she saw him. Which wasn’t all that surprising since her body
had remained mindful of his presence. Fighting the impulse proved fruitless.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
When his tall frame
blocked the sun and cast her in shadow, she knew besides giving him a direct
cut, she had no escape. If only she hadn’t ventured from her sister’s side. At
the time, abandoning Helena had been her singular option since their slow
stroll through the gathering had traveled too close to the very man standing
beside her. She’d been delaying the inevitable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Kate was now alone,
as she tried to keep her attention on the lawn activities before her, hoping no
one would witness what was about to happen.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Aren’t sprites
confined to the trees?” His deep voice washed over her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
She didn’t turn to
acknowledge him. “How nice to see you properly dressed for once.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
His chuckle warmed
her. “Are you following me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
An unladylike snort
refused to be repressed. “Hardly. You are rather difficult to overlook, being
the only unknown face here.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“That’s not true.
You’ve seen my face . . . as well as other, more interesting parts.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Kate wished she’d
listened to her sister and worn a bonnet. Anything to mask the heat flaring in
her cheeks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Thankfully he
remained at her side and hadn’t a clear view of her face. “We have not been
introduced. I can’t be seen speaking to you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Then let us go where
we can't be seen.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Her heart raced at
his boldness. Why was this man so tempting? She was spoken for, though still
unofficially. Proper ladies didn’t follow strange men to private locations,
regardless of their marital status. “Absolutely not.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Even if I have
something of yours?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Blast! Her ring.
Given her luck lately, she would have lost it in the grove of all places. Her
aunt would toss in her grave knowing Kate had misplaced her gift.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“A true gentleman
would return it.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His deep laugh caused her pulse to
flutter. “I'm no gentleman. Or haven't you heard?”<span style="line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Bio:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Addie Jo Ryleigh writes
historical regency romances that feature rakish heroes and strong feisty
heroines.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Addie Jo has lived in the same
cold-winter-hot-summer area of Minnesota her entire life. Sharing in the
raising of her three extremely rambunctious boys is her very understanding
husband who endured being dubbed “The Duke” by his co-workers. Keeping Addie Jo
company while she writes (besides her wonderfully loud children) is her
yorkipoo, Bella, who is never far from Addie Jo’s side. And recently the newest
addition to their family, a black lab named Max.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Addie Jo has always had a love
and passion for romance books and became engrossed in historical romance (particularly
Regency) soon after graduating from Lurlene McDaniel’s young adult books.
Currently, Addie Jo reads any genre that has a great emotional story that keeps
her reading into the early hours of the morning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Addie Jo has a bachelor degree in
accounting and is a financial coordinator when not playing chauffeur for her
hockey-playing boys, cuddled up with a good book, or writing her next story.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Mayaki is
reportedly dead, with her car having been discovered to have fallen over
Tariaah, the sacred hill, and making front-page on the morning daily.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Gloria
Reginald rushes to Lohada to verify and arrange for her friend to be brought
home for burial but, shockingly, the body in the morgue has a matted face under
a roll of bandages and looks nothing like her, raising questions that beg for
answers. The police can’t be trusted and the doctors seem suspect. To the
natives of Lohada, Mayaki is merely another victim of the anger of the god of
the hill.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">But when
Mayaki’s wooly red doll providentially turns up in the outcrops, Gloria’s
intuition quickly leads her closer to uncovering an ingenious plot hidden
behind her best friend’s mysterious disappearance. With the conviction that her
friend is still alive, Gloria must take charge of matter if she hopes to get to
the root of the goings-on.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Soon the
puzzle unravels and she finds herself locked in a dire struggle to save her
friend from the hold of a dreadful and powerful drug-running organization that
demands just one thing that only Gloria can provide in exchange for Mayaki.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">The helicopter
blew to smithereens, a huge ball of fire in the sky. The flaming debris
cascaded down on the forest in a massive shower of fireworks and the resultant
effect of the explosion created a momentary tremor in the earth underneath us
that I actually shifted on my feet. Then came a sudden uproar of jubilation;
the entire village of Rihuku was agog. A tremendous victory for them.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">There wasn't a
moment to waste, and Chief Mahiri again began issuing new orders. At his
command, the women and children began disappearing back into the huts. I
followed him back to the clearing. Able-bodied young men amounting to sixteen
in number had assembled themselves before him. Dabilu was evidently the leader
of the pack.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Chief Mahiri's
voice was fierce as he bellowed words to the men. Like soldiers heading out to
war, they listened raptly. When he was through speaking, the men turned and
followed Dabilu away from the clearing. Then one after the other, all
disappeared through one of the dark crevices between the huts.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"Chief,
what are you proposing to do now?" I asked.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">He turned his
face to me. "I'm leading the men out to Inua's. It has been ordained that
he dies today!"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"Are you
talking about an ambush—a surprise attack then?"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"If we
don't move fast, he will send his men out here to hunt for you. Already the
helicopter is late in returning, though unknown to him it has met with a fate
far greater than he can ever imagine."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"But
Chief," I said, "my friends are there at the villa. They can easily
be mistaken for Inua's thugs. They are innocent. If your people should…"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">He looked at
me innocuously. "It can't be helped, I'm sorry. This is war. In a war,
lives are sacrificed. Inua has to be taken out, and to achieve this anything
will be compromised."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"Including
the lives of my loved ones? Your war is with Inua and not them. Your men are
not trained in the requisite military maneuvers required in a situation like
this. Look, Chief, it can be helped. You can get Inua, and at the same time
save the lives of my friends trapped there. If you order your men to—"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">It was
hopeless; the chief was inattentive. Mahiri's soldiers were re-emerging, all
fully armed with a variety of modern assault weapons: automatic rifles, and a
couple with mortar guns. They looked like savages—which was actually what they
were at the time. Without pausing for a moment, they walked with heavy feet
past us, marching their way into the waiting jungle, and disappearing one after
the other through the curtain of tall grasses.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"Chief
Mahiri, please!" I pleaded, clutching at his arm. "Please, you must
halt this madness!"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">In a single
jerk of his hand, he loosened himself from my grip. He stared at me, all the
sanctity gone from his face. He was now somebody different: a warrior—leading
his men out to an unpredictable war.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"Madness,
you say?" he spat out in anger. The bulging veins in his neck were budding
as though they were being fed compressed air. "I am the chief of this
village; it is my duty to look after my people. Already, in whispers they speak
that I am weak. Is it madness to avenge the lives of those Inua has killed? My
daughter? We have consulted with the oracle, and even now that we go, four from
our party will not return. It pleases my heart if I should be the only one. The
guilt of my daughter's death weighs heavily on my conscience." Then again
turning his face toward the huts he barked, "Kaila!"<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">She never
imagined that a peculiar encounter with Maxim, followed by a night of
extraordinary passion, would result in <em>His
Eternal Promise.</em><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">BLURB</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Carlee put
everything into her family and her job over the last couple of years,
sacrificing any personal life. After a rare evening out with a few girlfriends,
she encounters a captivating man under inexplicable circumstances. Against all
rational judgment, they share an evening of the most fulfilling and erotic sex
she's ever experienced.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
Maxim hasn’t wanted a woman, especially a mortal, in over a century, but he
wants Carlee. He intends to keep the truth from her in order to build a
relationship first, but a woman from his past complicates things forcing him to
reveal the truth. He hopes Carlee chooses to keep him in her life, because he
can’t leave, her life is in danger.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">He didn't
sleep. Carlee breathed deep and steady, so he knew she slept. He should not
have followed her. In a whole century, he never interacted with mortals other
than business. The desire to be with one, sexually or in any intimate manner,
never appealed to him.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Something
about this one human reached out and into the dark, lonely places inside him.
He couldn't let her go. He knew that. Looking into her eyes, hearing and
feeling her blood circulating through her lovely body, he knew he found the
exception. For her to accept him, want him, and take him as she did, just
reinforced it.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Her light hair
spread out inches from his face. Rubbing his nose in it, he breathed in the
scent, reveling in the reactions her smell conjured in him. Many women
attempted to attract him, entice him, and he always rejected them. After he
fled Annika, he lost interest in women. Until Carlee. The need to seduce,
cherish, protect, and indulge her consumed him.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">How would she
see him this morning? She could have regrets. She could obsess over what she
saw behind the building. She could decide to end any further interaction with
him. There were so many questions, and he needed to decide what he was and
wasn't ready to divulge. With all certainty, he knew she belonged with him. She
would remain his.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Without any
sleep, and enraptured in the beauty of the woman lying beside him, his
impatience mounted. Let the spoiling commence. Without disturbing her, he got
out of the bed to put some coffee on. She probably drank coffee.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">As he entered
the kitchen, a coffee pot came into view. Now to find filters and coffee.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">"Right upper
cabinet, over the sink," informed Carlee. He didn't hear her enter the
kitchen, but the sight of her standing there, just waking up, tousled hair, and
nude, made him want to reclaim her right then and there. As if she read his
thoughts, she grinned, lifting her arms awkwardly to semi-cover her chest.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Approaching
her, he took both her wrists and pulled her arms to her sides. "Kotyonok,
don't you ever hide from me…especially that exquisite body." Leaning in,
he brushed his lips over hers. Her round, hazel eyes never leaving his.
"What is it you normally do on a Sunday?"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">That produced
another grin from her sweet mouth. "I don't do anything before
coffee." Scooting around him, she said, "I'll make the coffee."
Filling the carafe from the sink, her back to him, the questions began.
"So…your accent, is it Russian, or thereabouts?"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">An easy one
first. Good. "Yes. I grew up in a small village just outside of
Saratov." Plagued with an inner turmoil of what truths to expose and what
to suppress, he realized a human part of him still existed. He made the
decision to hold onto her…build a trust…protect her, and if that meant
withholding, that's what he would do. He wouldn't lose her.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Enjoying the
sight of her moving about the kitchen invigorated him. These feelings were
nonexistent since the change and before he became tainted. He resigned himself
to the fact that he lost this forever. Her shoulder length hair swayed with her
movements. Her beautiful soft skin with live blood flowing underneath it, her
narrow hips, all of which he intended to worship…forever. Her plump rear bore
light marks from his belt. The need to take her again, now, challenged his
restraint.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Opening his
mouth to speak, anything to subdue his yearning, she turned to face him and
asked. "Before we take this any further…I need to know what was going on
last night."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Not his
initial impulse, but he decided to toy with her. He sensed she could handle it,
and wouldn't accept it for long before she demanded the answers she really
needed. "I had the pleasure of feasting my eyes upon you, Kotyonok. I
followed you home, and to my ultimate surprise, you left the key in the door,
allowing me access to your home." Placing her hands on her hips, she
pursed her lips, but he continued. "You were in bed, in all your naked
glory, and I couldn't resist tasting and feeling you from the outside in…and
spanking your lovely needy ass."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">His recount of
their evening altered her breathing, and he heard her pulse quicken. She even
paced in front of him before she scolded him. "Maxim…you know damn well
that isn't what I'm talking about. Are you a fucking murderer?"<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Surprised by
her outburst, he answered in a calm, authoritative tone. "Language,
Kotyonok, very unbecoming from someone so lovely." He hated lying, and
prided himself on only doing so to survive. For now, he must do it out of
necessity, necessary to keep her as his. "No. I am not a murderer. That
was James. He drinks too much, and never learns. He is killing himself. I would
not normally have treated him so shoddily, but I was worried about you."
The lie executed, he hoped this won more time with her. He decided he better
continue, remove any possible concerns from her mind. "His girlfriend was
on his way to take him home. I attempted to have him walk it off a
little."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Considering
this, her brow furrowed, resulting in a cute crease in her forehead. "To
answer your earlier question…on Sundays I go and see my father. Usually, I get
him out of the house. Take him to eat."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">That let him
off the hook. His self-control waned, as thoughts of taking her as his again
dominated his mind and body. He must handle this right. Scaring her off was not
an option. She was his. Moving in front of her, he placed his right hand in her
hair, tilting her face to look at him. "Though I would love nothing more
than to spend the day with you, you have plans, and I also have an
engagement." Gazing into her beautiful face, it bewildered him how much
she affected him, reaching places he believed died in 1917.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">He placed his
cheek on her forehead. He savored her sweet warmth. Clearing his throat, he
pulled back, giving her a quick kiss. "I very much want to pick you up…say
around 6:30 this evening and have you attend a small art show at a gallery
downtown with me."<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Smiling, she
nodded. "I would very much like that too."<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">I grew up an
Army brat, so my childhood involved moving every three years. However, truly a
southern gal, I currently reside in Alabama with my husband, two Chihuahuas, a
mean cat, turtle, and a teenage daughter. I have two sons, who live on their
own, and a stepson and stepdaughter.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Romance novels
have always been my first reading choice. I'm a hopeless romantic, and that
trait materializes in every aspect of my life. "Wearing your heart on your
sleeve" has been a common phrase repeatedly heard throughout my life.
Writing romance and happily ever afters comes naturally.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Whether a
result of my childhood, or not, I love to travel. Warm weather and beautiful
beaches are always my choice destination.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

old Riley Sears promises herself <i>never</i>

She is not crazy, her psychologist reassures her of that, but when faced with

<span lang="EN-GB">He was
watching me, I could feel it. My body sensed him long before my head did and
started tingling. Everywhere. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 28.35pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-GB">Fuck</span></i><span lang="EN-GB">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 28.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Just the thought of him made my heart pound. Traitorous thing. It
merrily rammed against my ribcage as soon as I pictured his tall, muscular body
and dishevelled, russet hair. My fingers itched to reach out and delve through
the soft strands—they remembered what it felt like to tug down on them as he
groaned into my open mouth—but I shifted in my seat and sat on them instead. I
wasn’t going down that road again, hell no. I was done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">A low chuckle cut through the muted sounds of heavy rock music
emanating from inside, its gravely sound resonating with my downstairs
department, causing a deep blush to stain my cheeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 28.35pt;">

<span lang="EN-GB">I tried so hard to focus on what Sebastian was saying. Thankfully,
he held up his end of the conversation despite my unexpected inability to
formulate any words. We’d been sitting together for a while without a single
awkward pause so I nodded, smiled, and even laughed when required. To be fair,
it was a pretty decent pick-up attempt. Well, until <i>he</i> showed up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 28.35pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 28.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Dominic was leaning against the wall, his black, button-down shirt
almost bursting at the seams. I blamed those insanely strong pecs and biceps.
Honestly, they were huge. And the way his dark blue jeans hung enticingly low
off narrow hips… Well. It should be illegal. He was going to give someone—AKA <i>me</i>—a cardiac arrest if he wasn’t
careful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 28.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I shook my head. With a bottle of beer in one hand and a buxom
blonde in the other— this one looked nastier than most—the guy was the physical
embodiment of everything I despised. Truly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Raising the drink to full, kissable lips, he tipped his head back,
piercing gaze still locked on me. He then wiped his mouth with the back of his
hand, a flicker of emotions I couldn’t identify crossing his face when he
noticed my breath catch.<i> <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 28.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The girl must have registered his distraction too because she
started rubbing herself up against him like an overly aroused limpet. Gross. He
broke contact with me and looked down at her, a dark smile tugging his lips.
After murmuring something in her ear and slapping her on the behind, she
giggled. I looked away, that familiar painful knot forming in my stomach once
more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 27.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Lee Piper is a lover of
books. She often juggles reading seven novels at a time for the sheer joy of
it. At the grand old age of five, Lee Piper decided to become an author, however
found a limited market for her unicorn stories. So, high school English teacher
it was. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-right: 27.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">At thirty-two, and grieving
the loss of her second miscarriage, Lee Piper turned to novels—Kylie Scott, to
be precise—to escape the pain. This then inspired her to write <i>Rock My World</i>, the first in a four-part
contemporary romance series, and her debut novel became an Evernight Publishing
bestseller within the first two weeks of publication. <i>Rock My Body</i> was released on June 3, 2017, much to the delight of her
global readership.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>BLURB</b><br />
<br />
Seventeen year old Abby can’t shake the darkness that continues to haunt her since her escape from the Hunterz. She can’t let it go. Questions continue to circle. Questions no one will answer. Who are they, really? Why do they hate the wolves so much? The answers could be found in a young boy named, Sam. He may be from the Hunterz, but he smells of wolf. Derek wants to believe her, and tries to help, but Abby still hasn’t learned how to accept help from others. Her relationships with her mother and father continue to deteriorate, but Derek is a puzzle. Some days he’s exactly what she wants and others he is all that she despises. Being a shifter isn’t as simple as she thought it would be. The wolf part is easy. It’s the human side that needs a little work.<br />

<b>EXCERPT</b><br />
<br />
I huddled in the darkness, barely aware of the passing hours and days. The wolf ate when she was hungry. She found mice and rodents to catch and devour. I was barely aware of the chase or the joy she found in the hunt. The wolf drank from streams and creeks along her journey. She slept when she was tired and traveled the rest of it.<br />
I was aware the forest was starting to look familiar, but I didn't care enough to wonder why or where I was. When the big white sprawling house came before us, I realized the wolf had brought us to the only other place she knew to go: Aunt Lilly's.<br />
I didn't leave the safety within the wolf when we arrived at the house. I was aware when we stepped onto the porch and dropped to the cool white washed boards where the wolf curled up and slept, but I stayed safe, hidden deep. The wolf and the instincts that drove her protected us. I was happy to let her lead. I was happy to be carried wherever she decided to go. I slept as the wolf did throughout the rest of the night.<br />
When the wolf woke, I woke with her. We were still curled on the porch, but we were within a pile of dogs that had come to keep us safe and warm and offer company. The wolf was happy for the companions, as I was not able to be one. I was silent and empty and had nothing to give right then. I had nothing left to offer her.<br />
I saw my Aunt come out on the porch, and I saw the moment she recognized me for what I was. "Abby, honey. What are you doing here?"<br />
I shrank back deeper within the wolf, and as the wolf had nothing to say to her in that form, Aunt Lilly was left at a loss. She crouched down before us and ran her hands over my head and down my back. "You look a little worse for wear. Do you want to come in and eat? Maybe get a shower and some clothes?"<br />
I wasn't coming out of the wolf form. I realized that had been my intention the whole time. I simply hadn't been ready to face it. I was obviously not very good as a human, so I would try being a wolf for a bit. I used a little more energy and turned my head away from her and dropped it back down on my front paws.<br />
"Abby? What's wrong?"<br />
I had no answer for her, so I didn't move or acknowledge her question. I didn't know what to tell her. I was still feeling sorry for myself, and I didn't have a plan of how to fix it other than to ignore it. I was happy as a wolf. Why did I have to be a human anyway?<br />
She stayed crouched down next to me for a long time. She tried to talk to me, but I didn't answer. Finally, she gave up and stepped back. Her dog friends stayed with me, protecting me in their own way. She surveyed the pile of us then said, "Well, I guess I'll check on you in a bit."<br />
I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. I spent the next few days hardly moving a muscle. What was the point? Aside from getting up to empty my bladder or get a drink of water, I stayed on the porch, quiet and still. Aunt Lilly stopped trying to talk to me, but she did continue to sit with me and offer what comfort she could by way of gentle caresses or tidbits of food she could tempt me with, or just simple water. The best part was when she sat in the white rocker and just rocked. Her being there was enough. Sometimes when she sat there, I would get up and sit next to her, just to be close to someone who gave a damn about me. Just me. Not what I could do for her, or what I could do for the clan. She just cared about me.<br />
Why was I so unlovable by everyone else? Why didn't my mother want me anymore? Why did my father only see me for what I offered the clan? Why didn't Derek just want me? Why. Why. Why! What was so wrong with just being me?<br />
It was times like those that even in wolf form I was able to cry. When the hurt of the world grew to immense I could not hold it in anymore. I cried the sounds of the wolf, even if it didn't come with the tears of a human. Aunt Lilly wouldn't press or talk, she was simply there with me as I tried to handle the sadness overwhelming me. She'd caress my head and continue to rock.<br />
I don't know how long things went on like that. Maybe a few days, maybe it was an entire week. I do know when it came to an abrupt end. Morning arrived with a definite chill in the air. I didn't notice the cold all that much, thanks to my warm fur, but also because Aunt Lilly's dogs took shifts with what I thought of as protecting me. There were always a handful of them, either lying next to me or with me, or whatever. I was never cold or alone. They knew I was hurting and they in their animal wisdom stayed with me as comfort. Animals are awesome. People…suck.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unable to shake off her past and the destruction colorism played in her
childhood, Grayson returns to Lakeland in an attempt to reconcile her past.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>BLURB</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The Harrow family is a family that has spent generations hiding behind the
illusion of perfection and lineage. Grayson thought she had escaped the
dysfunction of the Harrow Family until the shock of an unplanned pregnancy
forced her to return to Lakeland. Grayson must confront her color struck
mother, Vivianna, about her childhood at Lakeland and the real reason why her
biological father was never apart of her life. Grayson learns how twisted her
mother’s version of love is, and how the truth is more complex than she could
have ever imagined. Her husband David is there to support her every step of the
way, and when Grayson reconnects with her sister, Gigi, she learns the price
Gigi paid for being their mother’s favorite.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>EXCERPT</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Grayson took a moment to soak up the quietness of the afternoon before they
headed inside. The country air tickled her nose. Grayson had forgotten how
clean air could smell. The sweet smell of the honeysuckle lingered over the
slight breeze and settled her stomach as it occupied her lungs. She enjoyed how
the crisp air danced on her skin, and brushed away the city of Boston's
lingering aroma. Grayson turned her eyes towards the estate she had grown up
in, and saw Lakeland in a way she never had before.<o:p></o:p><br />
The unusually harsh winters over the past few years had abused the hand-made
clay shingles and caused a distinct discoloration. The landscaping was neat,
but not kept to the same standard it had been when her grandfather was alive.
Grayson knew her grandfather would have never allowed the forsythia bushes to
expand and move about the grounds freely. He would have demanded the gardeners
control the beautifully bright yellow shrubberies and conform them to the
Harrow standard. Wild is for the wilderness, Grayson's grandfather would have
said. Grayson smiled at the absence of the ancient oak tree she'd fallen out of
when she was ten. The enormous oak tree with the giant knock hole had shaded
her bedroom, and helped her sneak out when she was sixteen to Elizabeth
Brownsworth's end of the year party. The white washed bricks demanded a
thorough cleaning, and the cliché, <em>Gone with the Wind</em> pillars pleaded
desperately for a fresh coat of cloud white paint. Lakeland looked miserable.
It was as if Lakeland knew her final chapter was already written.<o:p></o:p><br />
<em>"Lakeland is really showing her years." </em>Grayson stared at
the midnight black, heavily ornate front door with the bulky lion head
doorknocker, and equally obnoxious doorknob she swore she'd never enter again,
every time she walked out. Grayson picked up her laptop bag and started her
pilgrimage towards her past.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Relax," David whispered from behind her. "Everything is
going to be fine."<o:p></o:p><br />
Her mother, Vivianna, opened the front door and stood in the archway like a
Grand Duchess impatiently awaiting the arrival of her audience. "Grayson,
put the bag down!" she snapped in an egotistical tone. "We don't
carry our bags. We have them carried. Has city life caused you to abandon your
upbringing? Ladies of means do not carry bags."<o:p></o:p><br />
Five seconds. That's how long it took Grayson to go from a strong,
accounting firm executive, to the shy, chocolate-skinned, frizzy haired,
correction-shoe girl of her past.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Mother," Grayson retorted in the stiff flat tone she reserved for
addressing Vivianna. "So nice to see―"<o:p></o:p><br />
"Never mind all that." Vivianna motioned them towards the front
door. "Inside quickly. No need for some of us to get any darker than we
already are, darling." Vivianna paused in the foyer to admire her creamy
beige skin in the mirror before entering the sitting room. She never passed on
an opportunity to admire what she perceived as her greatness. "Grayson, I
don't see how you're able to endure. I don't know what I would do if my skin
was permanently darkened by the sun." The physical differences in Vivianna
and Grayson went beyond skin tone. Vivianna was thin in stature. She never had
an issue maintaining a hundred and ten pounds on her five foot three frame. Her
nose was narrow, her lips thin, and her eyes were almond shaped. People, mostly
women, assumed her green eyes were fake, but they were indeed real. Vivianna
was everything a color-complex struck Black man found irresistible. She was
their must-have. Grayson, on the other hand, possessed curves for days, full
lips, and a round face with a button nose to match her high cheekbones. She had
the type of body hip-hop artists paid homage to in their lyrics, minus the
chocolate-colored skin.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Come, Grayson ... sit. I want to know how things are going. Was the
flight enjoyable? I hope you flew first class. I've heard people in coach can
have an odor to them."<o:p></o:p><br />
Grayson rolled her eyes behind Vivianna's back. <em>And so it begins...</em><o:p></o:p><br />

<b>REVIEW:</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<em>Grayson</em><o:p></o:p><br />
By Tamar White<o:p></o:p><br />
5 Stars<o:p></o:p><br />
Reviewed by G. Lloyd Helm<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<em>Grayson</em> is a book about family history, secrets, and rivalries.
Families can be complicated enough, but if you mix in race and egotism they
become even more so. <em>Grayson</em> explores the connections between mothers
and daughters and what daughters don't know about mothers and mothers don't
know about daughters. Each character is keeping explosive secrets in this
story, from who is whose father and who is actually related to whom and, more
interestingly, why the characters are so at odds.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I can't say I enjoyed this book, but I was awed by the Ms. White's ability
to make her characters come right off the page. She is a hell of a writer. It
was well worth the read for the people in it.<o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="color: #3a3e44; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>Excerpt:</b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sun seared Tyler’s back, causing sweat to pour down the
length of his spine and his T-shirt to stick to his skin. Nothing like the gulf
coast humidity to make a man feel as if he was frying from the inside out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rose bushes around the town square bloomed giant
Pepto-Bismol pink petals, while a gentleman in blue overalls tended to the
flowers like they were his babies. Tossing a wave to the man, he rounded the
corner on Holly Drive and parked his bike in front of Sandi’s, the local diner.
The undercurrent scent of flowers, bacon, and fried donuts drifted in the air.
Man heaven. Except for the flowery part. He’d driven by the diner everyday for
two weeks but had yet to pop in. If the food tasted as good as it smelled he
might have to make this place a regular hang out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He pushed through the heavy wooden door as a bell rang
overhead. Weaving around customers, all giving him a curious stare, he strolled
up to the takeout cash register. Glass cases filled with donuts and the biggest
kolaches he’d ever seen stared back at him. His stomach growled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He eyed the case, his mouth watering, as he waited on a
server to notice him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Be right there,” a tall, shapely blonde called out from
across the restaurant as she handed another table their check. He’d been wrong.
To hell with the donuts and bacon. <i>She</i>
was man heaven.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few escaped strands from her ponytail framed her face, and
the closer she got to him the darker the black circles under her eyes appeared.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A spark of recognition fired in his brain while an equally
hot spark ignited a red flag in his gut. It wasn’t her slightly unkempt hair or
her pure look of exhaustion that rubbed him the wrong way. Despite all of that,
she was still beautiful.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But her clothes. Her clothes had his head reeling.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She wore long sleeves.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In June.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Texas.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What can I get you?” The beauty stared up at him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He shook off the strange feeling. A bead of sweat dripped
down her forehead, fell onto her chest, and into her shirt. Her nametag was
positioned right by the tantalizing skin of her chest. Annie.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Mercy.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He glanced down at the donut case. <i>Stare at the food, big guy.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“</i>I need two dozen
glazed donuts, two dozen chocolate, and a dozen sausage kolaches.”<o:p></o:p></div>

“Got a lot to feed?” Annie grabbed a box from the counter
behind her and placed it on top of the glass case in front of him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yeah, Donut Day, or so I was told. It’s my turn to bring

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Rakes? You must be new,” a redheaded waitress noted as she
rounded the corner and filled a customer’s coffee cup. While she was cute, she
had a wet-behind-the-ears look to her. He’d stick with Beauty.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Thanks, Gina.” The blonde smiled at the redhead before
returning her attention back to him. “I’ve brought my car to Rakes a few times,
and I’ve never seen you.” Beauty grabbed a towel from the counter to wipe the
sweat off her forehead, then dabbed her chest near a gold locket that hugged
her collarbone.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

Her tasseled hair seemed sexier the more she dabbed. He’d
never been as jealous of a towel in his whole life, the cotton fibers taunting
him with their task.<o:p></o:p></div>

She flashed him a half-smile that burned his insides. The
diamond on her finger nearly blinded him as she brushed a stray strand from her
forehead. The fire inside of him fizzled out like baking soda to a grease fire.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Me? Familiar?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He glanced back up. “Yours does, too, but I don’t really see
how.” The spark in his brain burned brighter the more he stared at her.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you from here, or is your family from here?”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“How’d you know?” He’d never talked to anyone when he came

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">As a
child, reading and writing were her nemeses. It wasn’t until she found herself
almost utterly alone, in a different country, that she took up the act of
reading for enjoyment. Her passion for writing was born not by reading the old
classics, but by reading many new tried and true authors of today: Nora
Roberts, Mary Kay Andrews, Nicholas Sparks, and Tracy Brogan to name a few. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to books for friends in a land where not many spoke the English language, she
found a secret passion she didn’t know existed inside of her. With nothing more
than time on her hands, she honed in on the craft of writing until she finally
worked up enough courage to let other people read her stories.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>REVIEW:</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>June</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<b>By Alicia Stone</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
A review by Jeffrey Ross<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
5 Stars<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
This is a world-class piece of literature—a finely crafted book that
combines several genres successfully. On one level, June functions as an
academic or campus novel—much of the text revolves around the detailed,
complicated, scholarly world of Professor Perry’s anthropological research and
love affair machinations. It also has robust elements of a detective story when
super-sleuth David outs a cheating husband. But June most significantly and
boldly illuminates a woman’s “sensual” coming of age (somewhat like Kate
Chopin’s novel The Awakening) as heroine Cassie begins to unshackle herself
from a life of emotional servitude and learns to love again. As a writer, I was
humbled by the workmanship and power of this novel. Read June—you will never
forget the story.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
<b>BLURB<o:p></o:p></b><br />
<br />
Living a lie in a web of deceit, Cassandra finds the courage to challenge
her controlling husband. She sets in motion a tragic chain of events
that leads her across Europe from the medieval city of Tallinn to the
showboating glamour of Nice. Cast aside and the victim of cruel revenge,
Cassandra fights for her future and discovers she is not alone. Her new-found
strength is tested to its limits, for where love is concerned there is often a
reckoning.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>EXCERPT</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Women's toilets, a curious place for confidences. Strangers become
acquainted in the queue for the loo. Teenage girls discuss conquests as they
hog mirrors, applying make-up. Cassandra had once seen a laughing group of
Japanese women roll their trousers to their knees, fastidious in their preparation
for a Western bathroom experience. She would have given much to understand
their chatter. Quite extraordinary what she overheard about people's lives in
toilets, but this was gossip, and the gossip was about her. She knew these
voices, Malory Jacque and Miranda Pym.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Of course Cassandra's very <em>nice</em>. Oh, Lord. No paper. For
heaven's sake. A hotel of this repute. I shall speak to the manager. Andrew
knows him from cricket."<o:p></o:p><br />
"Hang on. I'll pass some under the door. Lord, this reminds me of
school."<o:p></o:p><br />
Cassandra heard scuffles and giggles.<o:p></o:p><br />
"She's pleasant…easy-going in that reserved sort of way. Good for
dinner parties."<o:p></o:p><br />
"Thanks. Oh yes. Marvellous. Pop her next to anyone. She's sort of…you
know…"<o:p></o:p><br />
"Neutral? A foil?"<o:p></o:p><br />
"That's it. Rather <em>beige</em>."<o:p></o:p><br />
Cassandra froze in her cubicle. The toilets flushed and the voices moved
over to the wash-hand basins.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Oh, no. Would you look at that? They've changed the hand cream. I
always liked the wild heather. This won't do."<o:p></o:p><br />
A blast from the hand driers drowned any further eavesdropping. The door
swung open; there was a clack of heels…<o:p></o:p><br />
"But when you consider the husband…"<o:p></o:p><br />
The door closed.<o:p></o:p><br />
Cassandra waited for a moment before waving her hand at the automatic flush
and coming out. Standing before the mirror, she remembered what Perry had said
at breakfast.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Sweetheart. Do you think that shade of blue suits you? Book club today
isn't it? You've never worn the cashmere I brought you from Cairo. I found it
in your closet the other day."<o:p></o:p><br />
She had poured his coffee, put another round of toast in the retro Italian
toaster, and slipped into their bedroom. The unopened duty-free bag stood
upright in the bottom of the 'hers' wardrobe. Shrugging off the blouse chosen
earlier, she removed the ribbon tag from her gift and pulled the soft jumper
over her head, making for the kitchen.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Pussy-cat, lovely. Want to stroke you." He didn't. Instead, Perry
was out of his seat even as she offered more toast.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Carbs, Cassandra, carbs. Got to look after the waistline." He
held his stomach in and blew her a routine kiss, but she was already moving
towards the sink.<o:p></o:p><br />
Would the puff of air reach the cupboard housing the seldom-used
twelve-place dinner service, or would the vapour simply dissipate mid kitchen,
she wondered.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Late tonight, some of the faculty…a little do. Back on the Nine
o'clock. Have fun with the ladies."<o:p></o:p><br />
Cassandra had dropped the toast into the bin and stared out of the window.
Next-door's cat had emerged from a clump of daisies and shuddered, the tail
bolt upright. Cassandra loathed cats, especially when they treated her garden
as their personal litter tray. He, for the cat was a Tom, was the same shade of
grey as her jumper.<o:p></o:p><br />
Now she was staring at the reflection in the mirror. Her face lost, framed
by the heavy ornate coving and flock-wallpaper of the Victorian hotel. She had
often pondered what people would say about her. They might use affable or
good-natured if a little shy. What they didn't see was that she was bored;
Cassandra was bored to her very core. Not languid though, never that. There was
so much that people did not see. Cassandra composed herself, took a breath, and
fixed her smile as she hurried to re-join the discussion about a book she had
no wish to discuss.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
~ * ~<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
A creature of routine, she went shopping after Book Club. Every trip to the
supermarket was at best an exhausting in-your-face reality experience, at worst
a sensory assault. From the seductive smell of the in-store baked bread and the
sweet blowsy lilies in pretty buy-me cellophane wrappers to the whole gamut of
riotous colour, compelling fonts and unashamed branding the weekly shop was a
marketing horror to be endured. Enthusiastic staff spoke of must-buys or
operational matters over the public address system interrupting the bland music
and the periodic wails of infants distressed or seeking attention. Employees
wearing uniform fleece offered tiny plastic pots as if shoppers were at some
impromptu cocktail party or were institutionalised, standing in line to take
their medication before bedtime.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Can I tempt you to try a French cheese on offer today? Our own-brand
mayonnaise has been voted Britain's favourite. Would you like to see if you can
taste the difference?"<o:p></o:p><br />
There were endless choices, from the selection of three types of trolley at
the entrance to the alternative methods of checkout at the exit. Early on in
their relationship during a trip to the supermarket, Perry asked that Cassandra
take on the responsibility.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Sweetheart, shopping is ghastly. You are so much better at all this
pointless <em>busyness</em> than I. Look about you," he glowered.
"Eighty percent of the people here are women. You are among your own kind;
you know what to do; you have the time. Lucky, lucky girl, whereas poor old me,
cash rich; time poor."<o:p></o:p><br />
Money wasn't a problem. Perry urged her to spend what she liked. They could
afford to live well on his salary and his grandfather's trust fund. Bunty and
Reg, his parents, bought the couple's house as a wedding gift. Early on in
their relationship, Bunty had trumpeted aloud at Cassandra's modest choice of
food retailer and her student habit of shopping around for bargains.<o:p></o:p><br />
"My dear, a housewife is judged by her table. Top end for groceries,
always. It's what Perry's used to."<o:p></o:p><br />
Cassandra did the shopping, coasting in neutral following a set path. Her
face assumed a forced smile. She manoeuvred the trolley around slow mannerly
pensioners, avoiding the child, skidding to a halt in the detergent aisle. She
read labels comparing saturated fat and salt levels, catering for Perry's
current preferences and tastes. He was most particular. Cassandra willed
herself not to judge the large woman with the trolley stacked high with snack
and convenience food or to think too uncharitably of the salad afterthought
perched on top of the high-fat, sugar-laden mountain. She rejected the
self-checkout points, aware of her need for human interaction, chatting at the
till, agreeing that the weather was shocking and that the three-for-two offer
on the Imperial Leather soap was excellent value.<o:p></o:p><br />
"My husband won't try any other. His mother uses the same brand…you
know, a family thing." Cassandra despised the words and herself for the
weakness that was her norm.<o:p></o:p><br />
The cashier listened with her head to one side. Was there a fleeting edge of
solidarity or sympathy in the amber eyes? Perhaps it was the magnifying effect
of the tortoiseshell glasses. Cassandra felt odd and lightheaded but conscious
of a moment of female kinship and understanding with a woman she'd never met
before.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Are you alright dear?" The amber was almost orange, owlish, and
wild.<o:p></o:p><br />
Cassandra considered the question as she used her credit card. The first
attempt failed as she tapped in the wrong number. Concentrating, she began the
process again until she met with success. She stopped in the act of lifting the
bag of shopping into her trolley.<o:p></o:p><br />
"I think…I am."<o:p></o:p><br />
The cashier reappraised her as she handed over the receipt.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Changes take time to work their way through, don't you find? The trick
is to make the right choices. Take care now."<o:p></o:p><br />
There was no one behind her in the queue. The adjacent cashier was busy. No
one else had overheard. What a curious exchange; not at all the usual bland
pleasantries between staff and customers. Cassandra wheeled her trolley away,
leaning against the metal frame. Glancing back at the checkout, the grey-haired
woman was changing her till roll and did not look up.<o:p></o:p><br />
Driving home through the rain, Cassandra thought about the book club. Perry
had suggested she join. One evening at dinner, he announced that everything was
arranged. The wife of Perry's occasional golf partner would introduce her to
the club and pick Cassandra up, taking her to the first meeting.<o:p></o:p><br />
Debbie, in a red sports car with a mane of tawny hair, tanned, wearing a
lime green trouser suit, pulled up outside sounding three long beeps. Cassandra
rushed out of the house, flustered with a wave of greeting. This went
unobserved as Debbie shot into her driveway, executing a three-point-turn,
which halted two inches from the next-door's spotless and regimented recycling
bins.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Hop in. Running late. A cul-de-sac in Westmead," she surveyed the
immaculate new-builds, "bad luck. My book choice this month so they can't
start without me. Got the top down…nice day…about time. Awful summer, you'd
never think we lived in the south of England for pity's sake."<o:p></o:p><br />
Cassandra held out her hand to no avail as the car sped forward.<o:p></o:p><br />
"Belt up."<o:p></o:p><br />
The recollection of that first meeting made Cassandra grimace and smile. She
couldn't recall the name of the first book, the plot, or the characters, only
that awful new girl paralysis, all the other women staring, appraising, and
judging. Fighting an overwhelming instinct to run away, she defaulted to a
learned behaviour; she smiled, crossed and uncrossed her legs, agreed and
disagreed, nodded and listened, wholly intent on blending in. That was three
years ago. Members came and went, but the core remained the same. Perry liked
to ask her about the group, wives of cronies in his wider circle, so she
stayed. Debbie stayed the course too, catching Cassandra's eye at the more
outrageous comments, winking with mirth at the absurd.<o:p></o:p><br />
Perry wanted to know who was bright. Who led the group? Who did most of the
talking? That was in the early days. Of late, he had not asked much about the
reading group, but Debbie had become a friend. An unlikely pairing perhaps,
but, as the first meeting finished and they walked towards the waiting
Mercedes, Deborah Gore-Hamilton said,<o:p></o:p><br />
"I've got your number, Cassy Bishop. If you need an ally, I've got your
back."<o:p></o:p><br />
That was how their friendship started. Cassandra was no longer alone.<o:p></o:p><br />

<b>REVIEW:</b><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Title: June (Many a Moon Series, Book 2)<o:p></o:p><br />
Author: Alicia Stone<o:p></o:p><br />
Rating: 4<o:p></o:p><br />

Cassandra Bishop is an upper-class English woman in her mid-30s who has
voluntarily subordinated herself to a controlling husband (and his mother). Why
would she volunteer? “I was young,” she sighs. Her pushy best bud brusquely
dismisses <em>that </em>as a whiny excuse and lovingly prods her to
reassert herself. In reluctant response, an emotionally deconstructed “Cassy”
begins to reassemble her natural lively spirit.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Her quicksilver transformation into a strong, independent woman loosens the
constraints in her marriage relationship, with liberating and tragic
consequences. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Author Alicia Stone’s forte is creating a believable slice of upper-crust
British society within which her characters grow into people we care about. Her
illuminating descriptions of the knick-knackery of the gentry lifestyle are
fascinating in themselves. Cassandra comes across as an introspective,
sensible, and nervy woman. It turns out her husband is multi-dimensional, too.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Testimonial: I am male. This is a woman’s book, PG-rated, and I thoroughly
enjoyed it.<o:p></o:p><br />

Arrested for hacking, socially awkward and speech-impaired sixteen-year-old
Dakarai Holt is sentenced to two years at Sheffield Academy, an exclusive
juvenile rehabilitation facility. Within the first two hours, Dak is subjected
to mandatory brainwashing. The academy’s enforcers, the R.A.T. SQUADS, patrol
Sheffield to ensure each student's full compliance. Gacheru, Dak’s roommate,
pressures him to drink a tonic that conspicuously counteracts Sheffield’s
indoctrination. This places Dak in the middle of many adversarial and explosive
situations. Additionally, Dak becomes knotted in a clandestine plot involving
the Secretary of State and a mysterious group who goes by the name, The
Coterie. While at Sheffield, Dak must find a way to survive the R.A.T. SQUADS’
terror, the annexation of a remote island, and battle his own inner demons.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
The Coterie Declaration, by Richard McClain is a contemporary read about a
Sixteen year old Dakarai Holt, who is arrested for hacking. He’s socially
awkward and speech-impaired, but he’s an awesome hacker. When he is
sentenced to two years at a Juvenile rehab, the story takes off with government
brainwashing along with a plot to take over a remote island. Dakarai
however has found a way to thwart the brainwashing, but then he has a battle of
his own against not only the rehab enforcers, but he has to fight in silence as
well as try to overcome his own inner darkness. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
This was a complicated, but highly enjoyable read. From the first page
the reader is dumped right into the action. You sympathize with Dak as he
struggles with his inability to speak and other emotional issues, compounded by
his absent and uncaring father. This book is full of suspense and action
and moves along very quickly. The wait for the next book in this series
will be long for someone like me that wants to know what happens next. Well
done, Mr. McClain. I highly recommend this book.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">EXCERPT<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
It is 04:22:31 on Saturday morning and I'm having trouble sleeping. I sit up
and turn the light on to give life to the dark room. Instead of celebrating
Gacheru's absences, allowing me space to live on my own and nurture my promise
to abort ideas of relationships, worrying about him is all I seem to be doing.<o:p></o:p><br />
A sound at the door steals my attention. I wait for Gacheru to enter but
nothing happens. On the floor underneath the door, an envelope sticks halfway
into the room. I pick it up and work my fingers underneath the sealed flap and
run my fingers the entire length.<o:p></o:p><br />
The note reads,<o:p></o:p><br />
Please put the twenty-five billion back.<o:p></o:p><br />
I sit on the bed as the weight of the words hits me. Nothing in the words
themselves denotes any kind of emotion. Except for maybe the
"please." Still, a cursory reading initiates a panic attack in my
body. A brown bag sits on the floor. I roll off the bed, hitting the floor
hard. I pull the bag to my face, scrunch my body to the fetal position, and
rock and breathe…<o:p></o:p><br />
Who sent me the note? I ask an hour later. As far as I know, the man who
accosted me in the computer room and his superiors are the only ones aware of
what they think is a hacking mistake. To apprise me of this kind of critical
information now when I'm not under the influence would violate Sheffield's
environment of covertness.<o:p></o:p><br />
Revealing such knowledge to me makes no sense.<o:p></o:p><br />
I read the letter again. The word "please" continues to stand out.
Sheffield has not proved themselves friendly on the administrative, teacher, or
security levels. Why now would they want me to "please" put the money
back? They're the type that would hang me up by my thumbs and torture me to get
the information. I exaggerate of course.<o:p></o:p><br />
This message couldn't have come from them. Which begs the question, who sent
me this note?<o:p></o:p><br />
I sift through short list of names. Gacheru's is the only name on it.
Somehow he found out I took it and wants me to return the money. He's the only
one I know who's been able to bypass Sheffield's mind control and for whatever
reasons considered it important that I not succumb to their brainwashing. Would
Gacheru send a note? He could speak to me any time. It's not Gacheru. That
leaves nobody.<o:p></o:p><br />
I walk to the window. Darkness still pervades the night, fighting to
maintain control. Daylight is hours away. Since the note can't be from
Sheffield or Gacheru, I decide to get rid of the evidence. I rip the area of the
paper around the sentence and then stick it in my mouth, chew it till it's
soggy, and swallow it.<o:p></o:p><br />
I lie back in bed when I remember the drinks in the closet. It takes a
second to pry the board loose. There is nothing in the crevice apart from a
thick envelope and three cans. On closer inspection, all are empty. I put the
hollow cans back inside and replace the board. The contents of the envelope are
none of my business. I'm not a spy. Gacheru helped me for a reason. To betray
him this way reeks of self-interest, the worst kind of egotism.<o:p></o:p><br />
Lightning strikes my mind. Three cans could only mean one thing. A third
person has ingested the liquid and like Gacheru and me, this person is
resistant to Sheffield's mind control.<o:p></o:p><br />
Who?<o:p></o:p><br />
Since Sheffield wouldn't ask me to put the money back except under mind
control, and Gacheru could talk to me any time, the person who sent the letter
has to be the person who drank the third drink.<o:p></o:p><br />
Why should I put the money back, especially if we're seemingly on the same
side? Wouldn't we have a better chance of stopping whatever it is they're doing
and going to do by hitting them in the wallet?<o:p></o:p><br />
It seems cut-and-dry to me.<o:p></o:p><br />
While back on the bed sheet I rack my mind, wondering who this third person
is. If Gacheru trusts this person, would he approve of the letter? He could
have asked this person to send it to me. So why not introduce me? What's the
reason for keeping this person's identity secret? As always, my mind considers
the worst. If this is a ploy by Sheffield to test whether or not I am still
subject to their mind control, seeking out this third person could be nothing
more than a trap.<o:p></o:p><br />
I know three cans means three people are outside the boundaries of
brainwashing. I know the third can was unopened more than a week ago. I'm
making an assumption here. If Gacheru kept all three cans, this third person
ingested the drink after I consumed mine. He would not need to wait till I
arrived to give the drink to this person, which means this third person is
likely one of the seven people who traveled with me in the van. I'm sure I can
nail it down even more. I know this person is aware of the twenty-five billion
dollars I stole. By process of elimination it can only be one of three people,
and two of them I'm responsible for bringing to Sheffield. Shipley and Jayden.
Tasi is the only other person in the room with us when the hunt for the
twenty-five-billion-dollar search took place. I can constrict it more. Since
I'm in the men's dorm building, it can only be Shipley or Jayden.<o:p></o:p><br />
The doorknob twists. My heart is catapulted into my throat. Is it the R.A.T.
SQUADS coming to drag me away so I can be tortured? Is it Shipley or Jayden?<o:p></o:p><br />
I hold my breath.<o:p></o:p><br />

From the first page Richard McClain’s novel The Coterie Declaration the
reader is thrust into Dakarai’s high anxiety speechless world. Darkarai’s
complicated reality over flows with suspense, action, and danger. The entire
novel moves at a thrilling neck breaking speed. When Dakarai’s magnanimous
actions plunge him into a plea deal where he quickly finds out he is going to
lose more than his freedom. Dakarai is a complex character that is fighting to
not only survive the Sheffield Academy but also his every present anxiety. Sheffield
Academy is a place where the rules on paper are not the rules that are
followed. As the reader is drawn further and further into Dakarai’s world the
characters that surround him become more shady and much more corrupt. While
Dakarai does not speak with words McClain does a great job of creating intense
scenes that allow Dakarai’s actions to speak for him. Allowing the reader
to explore Dakarai’s thoughts also gives the reader get a deeper understanding
of the mute teenager. Even when The Coterie Declaration ends the reader know
it’s not over. <o:p></o:p><br />

Young Dak, the socially reclusive mute and estranged teenage son of a
multi-billionaire tech magnate, is a gifted hacker who hacks into
multi-national banks to steal and redistribute money to charitable intuitions
and organizations; a somewhat modern-day Robin Hood.<o:p></o:p><br />
Dak is caught by the conniving FBI agent, Yarbrough, who convinces Dak to
plead and be sentenced to a so-called rich-kid reform school, Sheffield, where
he soon becomes a pawn in a sinister plot to help a secret organization steal
something from Easter Island. Along the way, only able to communicate with the
aid of a whiteboard, Dak comes into connection with several characters
including shady government officials, a couple attractive young girls that Dak
becomes infatuated with, the so-called R.A.T SQUAD—Sheffield’s brutal young
security force—and other student-inmates, all of whom have secrets and pieces
of the puzzle Dak needs in order to figure out what is going on.<o:p></o:p><br />
With Dak’s social awkwardness, his muteness, and inability to form
friendships, Dak struggles to survive and obtain clues as to not only the fate
of his roommate—the only one he really trusted who is found hanged in a
tree—but to uncover this secrete Coterie and their plans.<o:p></o:p><br />
The Coterie Declaration begins with the action-packed FBI pursuit of Dak
after he attempts to hack into a major bank. The action and intrigue continues
at a fast pace and the reader turns the pages in continued anticipation of what
will happen next, or where it is that this story is going. The reader
empathizes with the young Dak, estranged from his wealthy father, and roots for
him to not only survive, but to put a stop to the secret plans of the Coterie
Declaration. <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">Dawn's eyes shimmered with a mix of stubborn pride and
extreme sadness. They seemed to be made of molten brown stone. Runo had never
seen eyes like these. So vibrant, saying so many things. They revealed her
life, her endurance, her dreams, her combats, her despair. And she was still so
young.</span></div>
<br />

<span style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">While he stared, she leaned forward and kissed him, an
act a whole lot more intimate than he was comfortable with. A short, hard peck,
a statement. Not the tender gesture a kiss was supposed to be, but one telling
him her gratitude as well as her dignity. She thanked him, but was going to go
back to her life and continue fighting. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 16px 0px 0px; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">He stood shocked, his whole body rigid, didn’t know
what to do. She, such a small woman thing a whole head shorter, shook <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">him,</i> a giant of muscle and stupid
testosterones inside a hard shell. </span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">He would definitely take care of Dawn and her kids.
Any way possible. Alert the authorities and make sure they got the protection
they desperately needed. </span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">She turned. “What?</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 16px 0px 0px; text-indent: 35.45pt;">

<span style="margin: 0px;">I like my reads hot, fast, and edgy,
and strive to give my own stories the same intensity. After venturing into
dirty inner-city crime drama with my debut novel Wild Hearted, I divide my
writing time between psychological thriller, romantic suspense, and erotic
dark/contemporary romance.</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">An ancient
legend spanning eras, continents, and worlds. To some, it’s nothing more than a
dream. To others, a pretty fairy tale handed down through the generations.</span></h4>

<span style="color: black;">For those
in critical need of their own happy ending, a gift.</span></h4>

Starchild is on a mission to restore her tribe’s livestock and save herself
from one more meal of kelp. Sure, it’s technically illegal to visit Old Earth,
but to a rim rat like Zana, galactic laws are really just guidelines. Her
wrecked starship just means she’ll need to use her backup plan to get off the
abandoned world, an old Earth legend her uncle passed down to her. </span></h4>

from a relaxing shower, across the galaxy to Old Earth, Galactic Marshall Kyle
Kepler finds himself naked and marooned with a quirky rim rat. Zana’s broken
more laws than Kyle can count, and he plans to arrest her, just as soon as he

<h4>
<span style="color: black;">When series collide: Between Venus and
Mars is not only set the multi-dimensional worlds of the Soul Mate Tree legend,
but also ties into my Hearts in Orbit series, a futuristic universe filled with
starships, aliens, and new technologies. And, of course, romance. The Soul Mate
Tree project offered me a great way to play with some new characters and
further develop my universe, while partnering with some of the best authors in
the business.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="color: black;"></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="color: black;">The
Hearts in Orbit universe is a place where galactic marshals keep the peace in
the cosmopolitan Core Worlds as well as the wild-west type rim world planets.
While this book works as a standalone, and you don’t have to have read any of
the others, I consider it Hearts in Orbit 2.5, fitting nicely between Pirates
of the Dark Nebula and my soon-to-be-released Hearts in Orbit 3 novel Captives
of the Kratzen. </span></h4>

<br />
Strange things are happening in the village of Pickering, Yorkshire. Two
girls are found murdered, and there is talk about strange going-ons at night.
Caught in the middle of this turmoil is Maggie Thompson, an orphan, who needs
to fend for herself. Running away from an employer who maltreated her, she
nearly dies during a winter storm. She is rescued by a man who lives in a
nearly abandoned house. Neil Harrington has his own secrets however. Maggie
will have to trust on her feelings to know what is right or wrong. And she
can’t forget there is a killer on the rampage…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>EXCERPT</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It didn't take long before Maggie was fast asleep once again. When Martha
noted her drooping head, she put a cushion behind it, to make the girl more
comfortable and lastly spread a plaid over her, lest she should catch a cold.<br />
<br />
She studied the girl for a while. Cleaned up, she already looked a lot
better than the previous day. She had better talk to the master. The girl's
speech was remarkable fine for a working-class child. She felt sure there was
something of a mystery involved here. Perhaps thinking about this would lighten
Neil's mood. He'd been mourning Lady Suzanne long enough to her liking.<br />
<br />
Around noon her son walked into the kitchen for his lunch. He looked up when
he saw the sleeping girl.<br />
<br />
"Is she fit to come down already?" he wanted to know.<br />
<br />
"She's not completely better," Martha told him, "but she ate
all of her breakfast, and as you can see she's sleeping again. No better healer
then rest, I say."<br />
<br />
"The master asked me how she was," Amos said. "I'm glad I can
tell him she's doing fine."<br />
<br />
"Did he need you to fetch something?" Martha wanted to know. They
both knew to what she was referring.<br />
<br />
"I brought in the usual. I don't mind, though," her son
acknowledged.<br />
<br />
She nodded. "We have a good master in his lordship. No matter what
other people may think, he's a decent human and I'm proud to be serving
him."<br />
<br />
"So am I," Amos agreed.<br />
<br />
He sat down at the kitchen table and immediately began to eat when his
mother put a full plate before him.<br />
<br />
"I thought you'd like some stew," Martha said. "There is
enough meat in it to give you stamina for the next trip."<br />
<br />
No need for more words. Mother and son understood each other perfectly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Later that afternoon, in Pickering village, the men of the region gathered
in the local pub after ending their work on the fields and farms. The talk was
lively and the beer flowed freely.<br />
<br />
John Barry put down his pint, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and remarked
to his mate Ben, "Saw that black coach again yesterday, when I went to
check on the sheep."<br />
<br />
Ben hardly looked up. "Aye, I'm listening."<br />
<br />
"Wonder whose property it is and what its business is. Always appears
when darkness falls."<br />
<br />
Ben took another gulp of his pint. Then he acknowledged what John mentioned.
"My brother's son, Tim, saw it too. He said it rode so fast, as if chased
by the devil."<br />
<br />
"Yeah, it was speeding for sure. Could not see who or what was in
it."<br />
<br />
"Not the first time it's been seen on our road. Something strange going
on, I think."<br />
<br />
Joshua Thistlewaite, the landlord, heard the comments but didn't comment on
them. He just poured the drinks like a good landlord. Besides, he couldn't well
afford to spend time talking to his customers. The pub was full, as always
around this time. His sharp eyes surveyed everything to be sure he could
intervene at a timely fashion.<br />
<br />
All the men and lads he knew from around, except for the one stranger. He'd
never seen the man before. The man entered about half an hour ago and ordered a
light ale in a polite way. Now he was seated in the farthest corner of the pub,
sipping his pint.<br />
<br />
While enjoying a calmer moment behind the tap, Joshua studied the stranger
more closely. He looked to be in his forties, had a stern face and lips which
seldom laughed. <em>A lawyer or a banker in all probability,</em> he thought.<br />
<br />
What bothered him a little was that the man appeared to be listening in on
the conversation of Ben and John, although he couldn't fathom why such ordinary
talk would interest a man of his quality.<br />
<br />
Disturbing his thoughts, the stranger beckoned him.<br />
<br />
"What can I do for you, sir?" he asked, hurrying over to his table
and trying not to show he had been studying him.<br />
<br />
"First, fetch me another pint of this excellent lager and then, if you
can spare the time, I'd like to talk to you for a while."<br />
<br />
It was said in a cultivated tongue, and Joshua could immediately tell the
stranger didn't originate from this part of the country. <em>London or some
other southern town</em>, he guessed.<br />
<br />
He hurried to carry out the order, while asking Ben to step behind the bar
for the time he was occupied elsewhere. He returned to the table.<br />
<br />
"I am now at your disposal, sir."<br />
<br />
He saw how the stranger glanced shortly at Ben, who was already tapping
another pint for John.<br />
<br />
"Do you get a lot of people in here?" he then wanted to know.<br />
<br />
"It depends," Joshua replied. "On weekdays it can get busy
when all the men need to water their throats."<br />
<br />
"You must know quite well what goes on in the village," the
stranger continued.<br />
<br />
Joshua shrugged. He carefully weighed his words, not wanting to reveal too
much. His instinct told him something was not right here.<br />
<br />
"Not much goes on in Pickering I don't know about."<br />
<br />
The gent nodded. "I thought so. Well, I am trying to locate a young
woman by the name of Margaret Thompson. She would be eighteen years of age and
has blonde hair. Do you know if any such girl lives in or passed by your
village?"<br />
<br />
Joshua was silent for a moment. The request confirmed his ill feelings. He
understood he would have to be very sparse in answering, to make sure he didn't
cause harm to anyone or anything.<br />
<br />
"Why do you need to know?" he asked, but in such a way the other
would not be insulted.<br />
<br />
The man smiled. To all appearances, he looked innocent and seemed
trustworthy. Joshua knew better. He felt an underlying coldness and sensed some
feeling of threat.<br />
<br />
"She's come into an inheritance and the trustees have asked me to find
out her whereabouts," the man answered, while smiling again, and producing
a gold coin out of one of his pockets.<br />
<br />
Joshua eyed the coin and reconsidered. <em>It could be true</em>. He knew
there existed men who were employed to search for people who were lost or had
disappeared. After all, the stranger had done nothing wrong yet.<br />
<br />
"Farmer Aldleigh has a blonde girl working for him," he offered,
feeling at last he could trust the man enough. "She came asking for work
not so long ago. Perhaps she's the one you are looking for?"<br />
<br />
"It might be," the other agreed, while putting the gold coin into
his hand. "Can you be so kind as to give me directions to this farm?"<br />
<br />
"It'll be my pleasure, sir," Joshua beamed. "When you follow
the road leading out of the village, you go until the crossroads and then turn
left. Aldleigh's farm is a mile or so from there. If you don't wait too long,
you can be there before darkness falls."<br />
<br />
"Thank you. I'll go and have a talk with the farmer."<br />
<br />
"Glad to be of service."<br />
<br />
"No, it is I who must thank you," the stranger said while putting
a second gold coin on the table. He then got to his feet and grabbed his
overcoat.<br />
<br />
Joshua returned to his work. His eyes followed the gentleman as he made his
way through the throngs of farmers and finally left the pub.<br />

<b>The Black Coach</b><br />
<br />
<b>Nickie Fleming</b><br />
Reviewed by Tamara White<br />
<br />
5 Stars of 5<br />
<br />
Abuse, Murder, Love, and the Black Coach<br />
Nickie Fleming’s crisp and colorful words thrust the reader back into a time where horse drawn coaches were the mode of transportation and women’s dresses dragged on the ground. The author’s words give you a real sense of being there. I enjoyed the pace of the book. The book moves effortlessly through the well-defined plot. The book creates an immediate interest in the main character. From the first page the author quickly draws you into the tumultuous life of the young blonde hair woman Maggie. Maggie is a woman who possesses a quiet determination that gives her the strength she needs to defy her beginnings. From the moment you meet Maggie you want to see her make it. Neil Pickering, the man whose life becomes unexpectedly intertwined with Maggie’s, is a unique character. He is as intellectually strong and determined as he is handsome. Whenever Pickering is present his personality commands the scene. His need to understand medicine matches her need to survive. I enjoyed the gritty murders that take place in the book. The murders have a dark undertone, which left me eager to finish each page and discover who has such a thirst for death. The Black Coach plot offers its readers mystery, hope, intrigue, and a quiet love story. It is an immediate for anyone passionate about reading.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Author Bio</b></span><br />
<br />
Nickie Fleming was born and raised in the historical town of Dendermonde,
Belgium, home of the legendary Horse Bayard. Nickie read English and Dutch
Literature and Linguistics at the University of Ghent, where she took her
master's degree in 1978. She began work as a teacher of languages to 16-18
year-olds and has done so during her long career. She has been writing since
she could hold a pen in her hand, but only came to publication when she was
well over 50—mainly because she was not actively seeking it. Besides writing,
Nickie spends her time with the things she loves—and those she doesn't like so
much: housekeeping, reading (favorites are thrillers and good romances),
listening to good music, going to see shows and concerts, travelling, food and
wine... Nickie is single and shares her house with her only sister, who is
equally single. The two ladies get along just fine and do most things together.<br />

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Today we welcome
Blake Hutcherson, a character in the upcoming Sasha Bishop: Final Countdown, by
author Carly Jordynn.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="color: black;">Thank you for
joining us Blake.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Trust me, the
pleasure is all mine.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">So Blake, tell us
about yourself. Rumor has it you’re related to a prominent character in the
Sasha series.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">I actually am
Hutch’s half brother. My mother was Izzy, Hutch’s girlfriend from before the
Civil War. My father was Mayor William Hutcherson, Hutch’s dad. </span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">That seems a little
twisted.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">I know, right? Izzy
was pissed when Hutch went off to fight in the war instead of marrying her. She
asked William to get her pregnant while she was still human. Her plan was to
pass me off as Hutch’s child. When Hutch returned from the war and not to her,
she asked William to change her while she was still pregnant with me.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">I bet that had some
bizarre side effects. </span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">You know it. Once
you become a vampire, you quit aging. I would have remained a baby forever if I
was born a full vampire. Fortunately, I was born as a Halfling. When I turned
eighteen, I made the decision to become a full vampire. Mom did the honors and
here I am.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">I heard from Sasha
that you inherited a rather special trait from your mother.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Mom was a
shape-shifter. I did inherit that ability with a slight difference. Mom has to
have something that belongs to the person she was changing into. I don’t have
to. I can shift into any person or animal, as long as it had a heart beat at
one time.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Wow, that’s
impressive. I bet you were a hoot at parties.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Let’s get something
straight, I was never a hoot. I never did anything for fun unless it was
torture. I love terrifying people and derive great pleasure from their
distress.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Um, great, moving
right along, you lived in London for a number of years. What did you do there?
Did you have a career?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Why would I have a
career? I take whatever I want when I want it. When I’m hungry, I drain
somebody. Sometimes I change them and other times, I let them die. When I want
entertainment, I shift into the person you love. I could be your parent,
spouse, friend, or nightmare. It depends on my mood.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Why did you come
back here to Villa Mirage?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Did you not hear the
news? Sasha killed my mother and Hutch killed our father. Granted, there was no
love lost between us, I got out of that freak show family as quickly as I could.
However, I cannot allow their deaths to go unavenged.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">What do you plan on
doing?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">I’ve already
started. My brother doesn’t trust me. He never will. Sasha, however, is
different. She is used to being around vampires without being one herself. The
human side of her wants to believe I am redeemed.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Are you?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Hardly. Well, maybe
a little. The Slayer has had some impact on me I have to admit. My purpose was
to kill her outright and make Hutch live with the knowledge that I did it. That
was to be my revenge, but Sasha is pregnant. I can’t kill her while she carries
my niece. She will be the Slayer someday too. </span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">So you’re going to
let Sasha live?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">At least until my
niece is born and can survive without her mother. After that, I will probably
kill Sasha and Hutch. I could then raise my niece and turn her when she comes
of age. She’s already going to be the strongest Slayer ever born, imagine what
kind of vampire she would be with Slayer blood. Invincible.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">So the rumored
friendship between you and Sasha is really just an act to gain her trust?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">A few months ago, my
answer would have been yes. Now, I’m not sure. I like talking to her. She fears
me, but refuses to submit to those fears. She’s probably the bravest person I
have ever met. My brother is useless. He doesn’t deserve her or their daughter.
Maybe, I’ll do away with Hutch and claim Sasha and the baby as my own.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Doesn’t Sasha have a
say in that?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Trust me, she will
not resist me. She will come to me willingly.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">You know Blake,
maybe you shouldn’t be so cocky. Sasha has a few secrets up her sleeve that may
surprise you.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Seriously? Name one.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">A Dreamer.</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">Wait, are you saying
one of her allies is a Dreamer? Can they control the outcome of the dream?</span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px;">
<span style="font-family: "blackchancery"; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: black;">I guess you’ll have
to find out for yourself. Our time is up.</span></span></div>

learning about Blake Hutcherson? Blake is actually based on my friend, Blake
Kennedy and the Dreamer that poses a potential threat to his plans is based on
another friend, Mary Beth Wallace. Check out their pictures below. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Look out!”</span></h4>

<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Megan saw a blur of cream through her lens, and was about to put down the camera when something connected with the side of her skull. She screamed, the only reaction she could manage. An explosion went off in her head. Tiny sparks flashed on the edge of her vision as she fell backward. Her mind filled with something like a night sky, black with tiny lights that crept further into her vision every time she blinked. It fascinated and distracted her from the pain that throbbed in her head. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">She thudded on her backside on the concrete. A new wave of pain swept through her body. Air escaped from her lungs and Megan gasped. She managed to piece together that she’d been hit in the head, though by what exactly she wasn’t sure. People rushed towards her. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Embarrassment flooded into her cheeks. The last thing she wanted to be was the center of attention. That’s why she was a photographer. She could hide behind the camera. <i>My camera? </i>She reached for it, and sighed with relief when her fingers wrapped around it. She looked down at her SLR digital Canon camera, and it appeared to be in one piece. It was hard to tell because of the pounding in her head. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">More stars flashed. She noticed they twinkled in time with the bursts of pain. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“They don’t have points.” Megan knew she had spoken, but her voice sounded faraway, and not at all like her own. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Are you okay?” A man knelt beside her. He was one of the men she’d been distracted by. She tried to look at him, but could only see the flashing stars now retreating to the edge of her vision. A fog seeped into her mind and she struggled to think clearly. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“No points,” she said again with disappointment. She’d never had a serious injury before, never broken any bones, nothing like today’s accident. <i>So, this is what it’s like to see stars</i>. The expression used didn’t describe the experience at all. Megan touched the side of her head, to make sure it was still there. She hadn’t blanked out which she figured was a good thing. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“What are you talking about?” The man touched her shoulder. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“The stars I can see,” said Megan, not totally processing what he had said. She looked at him. He was young, mid- twenties, about her age. His broad-rimmed hat hid most of his blond hair, and his blue eyes were crystal sharp. Light stubble edged his broad jawline. He was hot. She was rather impressed she had managed to work that out through the haze flooding her mind. </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Shit.” He rested his hand on her shoulder. “My Bruce hit your head, more like grazed it along the side from the looks of the mark, but still I’m sorry he was such a shit.” </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Bruce?” Megan looked at him, trying to understand. “Is that your name?” </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“No. My bull. His hoof struck your head. Lucky it was only a half jump he made, and it wasn’t a full on blow.” </span></h4>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<h4>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Oh, so that’s what happened.” She wasn’t sure it was a half kick from the way her head felt. The adrenalin was dissipating and a heavy thudding took hold in her head. Megan tried to smile at the man by her side. This wasn’t the time to flirt, but heck, she couldn’t help it. </span></h4>

</div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: small;">Megan is a young photographer with her first real job at the Royal Adelaide Show, where she has to capture the agricultural event. As a city girl, she is clueless, and when she gets too close to a grumpy bull, she is kicked in the head.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: small;">Guilty that his bull hurt someone and aware of the painful side effects of head injuries due to the loss of his sister, Jackson takes care of Megan. </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: small;">Megan is determined that she will be all right and continues photographing during the day before collapsing. Jackson is there to make sure she is taken to hospital and cared for. </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: small;">Recovering, Megan finds herself drawn to Jackson, but she’s not sure that she can be anything than a city girl, even for love. Can Jackson, in his quiet, strong, country-boy style, convince her to take life in a new direction, with him?</span></h3>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Kate Willowbrook dreams of a life filled with beauty –– a man who loves her, friends, and a home. At eighteen, Kate's dreams are replaced by nightmares when she witnesses a crime. Kate runs, never settling down or trusting anyone. Ten years later Kate discovers the small town of Lakes Crossing and Noah Reed. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">When Noah’s wife is killed in an accident, he buries himself in work and family obligations, believing he will never find love again until he meets Kate. The more he learns about her, the more he is drawn to her and his protective instincts kick into overdrive. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Kate pierced him with her green eyes. “I’m certain there’s no shortage of women who would be happy to go out with you. Why me?”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Noah’s cocky grin faded into a soft smile that stole her breath. His eyes darkened as he focused on her. She could feel the heat creeping up her cheeks again, and she couldn’t believe she asked him that question. She didn’t even know why she did, except that she wanted to hear his answer. If she let herself fall for this beautiful man, with a killer smile and the softest brown eyes in the world, she’d fall hard and fast. If she were just a toy to him, one that he got bored of and discarded after a while, she’d be devastated. She had lost so much already and survived, but Kate wasn’t sure she could survive his games. If she allowed herself to hope and dream of a life with Noah but then lost it all, she’d crumble, and no amount of superglue would put her back together.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;"> Kate waited for his answer, her eyes locked with his and he didn’t let her down. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Noah reached for her hand, and she let him feel the tremble that ran through her as he engulfed her small hand in his. He raised her hand to his mouth and kissed her fingers, never taking his gaze off her. </span></span></div>

Jesus, the man had a way with words. How did he know what she needed to hear? Now she understood what Roberta Flack meant when she sang, <i>Killing me Softly</i>. He was clawing at the door to her heart, and she didn’t think she was strong enough to resist him, even knowing that she may get shredded if she let him in.</span></span></div>

She struggled to rein in her emotions and push back the tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks. She wanted to go out with Noah so badly it hurt. She wanted to get to know him and to be a part of his world, but she was terrified. Good visited her very few times in her life. The instant it arrived, she began preparing for its departure. Good was a temporary visitor and a fickle one at that. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">“Come on, Kate. I can sense you’re afraid. I swear I’m a nice guy. I’ll do my damnedest not to disappoint or hurt you. Take a chance. Take a chance on me.”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Kate heard the vulnerability in Noah’s voice. She explored his handsome face, a face she was sure she would never tire of admiring. All traces of his earlier cockiness vanished. Instead, it was replaced by a rawness, an earnestness, a tenderness she’d never seen before. That was the look Kate would remember for a lifetime. Years from now, she would say that was the exact moment she knew, if Noah Reed asked her, she would be his for a lifetime. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Kate let out a slow breath and with a soft smile, she whispered, “Okay, Noah Reed. I’ll take a chance … a chance on you. I’ll go out with you.”</span></span></div>

By day she is a suit-wearing, prim and proper, professor, administrator, researcher, and lecturer. By night she is a PJ wearing dreamer and writer of books that make people sigh, smile, cry, laugh, fall in love and believe in second chances.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #36364d; font-family: "helvetica" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Norah discovered the joy and escapism that comes from reading at the age of twelve and swears books saved her life and her sanity. Through reading, she has travelled the globe and learned all kinds of equally useful and useless skills such as the proper way to eat a pomegranate, carve a watermelon, or bathe an elephant. These are skills she has passed down to her two daughters who are incredibly supportive, but often wish she had a wider scope of hobbies. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Clare gets transported from present day Florence to an alternate world, one that looks like fourteenth century Italy. The only way back is through a portal half a world away, plus the local High priestess wants her dead, and the only one she can trust is a vampire called Trevi. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He is the only one who exits in this world, and she knows more about what he is than he does. He is hard to resist, especially when he saves her life. Trevi can take her home but he is keeping one big secret. She will have to be like him to survive the journey through the portal back to her world making a myth a reality.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

He meets a female magician called Fane, who has been an outcast just like him. In this world only men are magicians and they believe her existence is the cause for the mist.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Maggie Mundy lives in Australia and is a member of Romance Writers of Australia. She recently completed a Bachelor of Arts in Drama and English at Flinders University. She had a short story published in the RWA Topaz Anthology Little Gems in 2010 called Sea and Vines. She has four books with Rogue Phoenix Press. Two erotic <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">novellas</span> called Blood Scent and Blood Oath and two paranormal romances called World Change and World Apart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She has also performed for many years in corporate entertainment for which she wrote her <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">own</span> sketches, which probably explains why her head is so full of characters. She loves writing romance but thinks falling in love can be scary, especially in her stories where creatures of the night exist.</span></div>

Thank you for having me
today! I'm here with my new Romance on the Go, THROWN TO THE WOLVES. This story
was partially inspired by an article I read on Romania's Hoia Forest earlier
this year. It's long been famous for paranormal activity, from UFO sightings to
the strangely shaped trees. Some people believe it's a gateway to another
dimension, whilst others say it's haunted by the ghost of murdered peasants.
There's a rich history of folklore and urban legend growing there, and so what
better place to set a paranormal tale?<br />
<br />
I've stayed away from UFOs and ghosts, though, and instead gone with vampires
and werewolves. Well, it is Romania! In THROWN TO THE WOLVES, aspiring author
and tattooed tomboy Paige goes hunting for inspiration. And she finds
it...along with danger, ancient enemies, and of course, love. I hope you'll
enjoy my little venture into the Hoia Forest!</div>

Paige went to Romania
looking for inspiration for a book. She found herself caught in a horror story.
Attacked and left for dead by a vampire, Paige finds herself at the mercy of
Kata, a beautiful, enigmatic werewolf. Their attraction is instant, but Paige's
fate hangs in the balance. She may yet be turned into a vampire herself. Soon
it's clear to Paige that the only way to save herself may be to return to the
woman who attacked her...even if it means placing both herself and Kata in the
greatest danger. </div>

<div class="MsoBodyText" style="mso-line-height-alt: 5.0pt;">
<b><u>Excerpt</u></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="mso-line-height-alt: 5.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This
was her rescuer, she guessed. She'd gone from the jaws of a wolf to the bed of
a woman, so <i>someone </i>had rescued her. But there was nothing about this
woman that said “safe” or “friendly.” She was regal, imposing, and her silence
was intimidating. But Paige didn't have it in her to sit meekly and say
nothing. For all she knew, she could be worse trouble now, with this woman,
than she'd been out in the woods or with the creature she'd fled in the first
place.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
memory of the woman who wasn't a woman made her shudder, and she touched her
throat. She felt dried blood and a dull ache, and it forced her to speak. </span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">"What
are you?" she asked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It
was probably the wrong thing to say. She should have said thank you, or asked
where she was, or even asked the woman's name. But those questions didn't
matter even a tiny fucking bit. Not after the nightmare she'd found herself in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
woman laughed, a rich sound that made Paige think, incongruously, of sticky
toffee pudding. "You are smarter than I thought," she said in
heavily-accented English. "When you see a woman lost in these woods at
night, you don't think she can be very smart."</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Unnerved,
Paige sat up slowly, pulling the rough duvet up with her. She was still fully
clothed, she realized, but the duvet gave her a sense of security anyway.
Stupid, but true.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">"My
name is Kata," the woman continued. She turned to a small, rough-hewn
table at the bedside. A jug of water and a glass sat there, and she filled the
glass before offering it to Paige.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Paige
ignored it, despite the dry thirst gnawing at her. "I didn't ask your
name."</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Kata
gave her a mock innocent look, eyes wide. "Sorry. Perhaps my English is
not so good."</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Paige
thought Kata's English was probably fine, certainly better than Paige's
Romanian. "What are you?" she asked again, louder and slower this
time, in that ignorant manner so many Brits abroad used that she hated. Her
voice shook as she spoke, but she managed to hold Kata's gaze and she was proud
of that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Kata
set the glass down and pointed to the wound on Paige's throat. "You have
seen things already tonight I think you would not believe, yes? So I will ask
you, what do you think I am?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Her
voice was gentle, with genuine curiosity in the question. And Paige thought
about it, and thought she could fall into hysterics or rage, deny what her
heart already knew and claim it was impossible. It would be easy—nice, even—to
do that, because twelve hours ago, she would have said it was impossible, and
she would have laughed at anyone who told her otherwise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
problem was, hysteria and denial never helped. Staying calm, acknowledging the
problem and finding a solution, that was what helped, whatever the situation.
And besides, wasn't the bite at her throat proof that it wasn't impossible?
Wasn't passing out in front of a wolf and waking up in front of a woman just
further proof? Impossible wasn't impossible anymore.</span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 35.3pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So

<b><u>About the Author</u></b><span style="color: black;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;">Naomi likes writing, perfume,
fancy tea, and unfathomable monsters from the dark spaces between the stars,
not necessarily in that order. She has been writing stories ever since she
learned how to write, but is still trying to master the art of biography
writing. When she's not dealing with werewolves, demons, or sea monsters, she's
hanging out with her cat and probably watching a documentary about Bigfoot. If
the cat isn't available, she's with her fiancé watching cookery shows and silently
plotting her next book.</span></div>

<b>Mystique is happy with her current life, but for years she's struggled on a
path of self-destruction. She knows she shouldn't get involved with the
brooding hunk at the bar, but how can she stay away when his sorrowful gaze is
so compelling?</b><br />

his identity as an Alpha Protector. There's nothing left for him except a world
of anger and bitterness. At least, that’s what he believes until he meets an
intrepid waitress. </b><br />

his past, Mystique is not willing to return to hers. With darkness constantly
closing in, will they find a way to be together? Or, will Reine's behavior
destroy their future?</b></span></div>
