A Really Awesome Mess is a laugh-out-loud, gut-wrenching/heart-warming
story of two teenagers struggling to find love and themselves.<br /><br />Two teenagers. Two very bumpy roads taken that lead to Heartland Academy.<br />Justin
was just having fun, but when his dad walked in on him with a girl in a
very compromising position, Justin's summer took a quick turn for the
worse. His parents' divorce put Justin on rocky mental ground, and after
a handful of Tylenol lands him in the hospital, he has really hit rock
bottom.<br /><br />Emmy never felt like part of her family. She was adopted
from China. Her parents and sister tower over her and look like they
came out of a Ralph Lauren catalog-- and Emmy definitely doesn't. After a
scandalous photo of Emmy leads to vicious rumors around school, she
threatens the boy who started it all on Facebook.<br /><br />Justin and Emmy
arrive at Heartland Academy, a reform school that will force them to
deal with their issues, damaged souls with little patience for
authority. But along the way they will find a ragtag group of teens who
are just as broken, stubborn, and full of sarcasm as themselves. In the
end, they might even call each other friends.<br />A funny, sad, and
remarkable story, A Really Awesome Mess is a journey of friendship and
self-discovery that teen readers will surely sign up for.</span><br />

<br />
Here's the deal, this book is <b> a real awesome mess. </b><br />
<br />
Literally.<br />
<br />
The
author seems to be aiming for a situation in which we find the
characters implorable and we suddenly come to an understanding, and
growth, with the characters as they develop themselves.<br />
<br />
The
problem is, that I do not believe, not for a second, that teens that are
troubled - as the ones in this book - are so cruel and removed.<br />
<br />
Not towards themselves, but towards others.<br />
<br />
Are
we really supposed to sympathize with a character who used internet
bullying as a defense against a bully? Where she decides to openly mock
him, disgrace him, and create viral content with irremovable damage from
cyber space, whilst she grows up and realizes (in about three years),
that, really, he's just an asshole. <br />
<br />
Are we supposed to ever
learn to respect a group of troubled teenagers that, during their own
personal struggles, aid in helping a severely anorexic female <b> not </b> eat?<br />
<br />
Are we supposed to side with the therapists that eat sugar crackers in front of a female that is starving herself to death?<br />
<br />
Are
we supposed to find it believable that the main reason for that female
lead character to starve herself is to look thing? And that, moreover,
she <b> still </b> has the confidence to think she can pick a guy up some time before they, "force her to get fat again?"<br />
<br />
Are
we also supposed to believe that a Level 5 student - that is someone
that is near release or made massive results in recovery - would be
snide, sarcastic, and rather cruel to a Level 1 female with the <b> exact same eating disorder! </b>
Is this because Trish Cook believes that anorexia is only a problem for
shallow girls? Or, was she totally misinformed about the myths of
eating disorders before writing this?<br />
<br />
Also, are supposed to
understand or side with the parents that allow an academy that limits
the amount of time, and scripts the conversation, between child and
parent?<br />
<br />
Are we even supposed to believe that in an academy of
violent, troubled teens, an all out brawl, complete with vomit, blood,
and name-calling, does not come with any sort of security team or extra
measures besides <b> yelling really loudly to stop it? </b><br />
<br />
More
so, are we supposed to be convinced that this highly costly facility
has therapists that encourage troubled teens by telling them that they
need to spend time in their own heads to figure out their problems? With
<b> no </b> psychology experience at all I can tell you that depression feeds on our minds. Someone that deep inside themselves has a <b> distorted view of reality </b>
and is past the point of being able to self reflect or self help
without guidance without otherwise causing worse destruction to their
confidence, psych, and well-being.<br />
<br />
It is not that I dislike the
way this author writes. It is that I find this book such a snarky,
sarcastic, misguided view on troubled teens that I wonder what made the
author ever decide to publish it. I cannot, in good conscious, recommend
any teen reads this book due to the insensitive nature of this novel.<br />
<br />
Also:<i><br /><br />Dear Authors, <br /><br />If you are writing a book about troubled teens, keep in mind who your audience is going to be.<br /><br />I am sure with some reflection you can discover that it will be troubled teens, with some other odds and ends thrown in. <br /><br />In which case, at what point in your mind did you decide that <b> rape </b> and <b> racist </b> jokes were okay?<br /><br />When did you decide they would add to the story?<br /><br />Did
you really think that what teens of today were missing was more jokes
that downplayed the seriousness of sexual abuse and segregation by race
and or profiling?<br /><br />Or, did you just think this would help your readers relate? In which case, I'm insulted <b> for </b> them.<br /><br />Or,
did you just think it would add to Justin's troubled outlook and his
further development? In which case, why are all your troubled teenagers
unlikeable? Is this how you see troubled teens?<br /><br />Please research further into depression, eating disorders, aggression, etc. before your next reform school attempt. </i><br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Note: I received a free copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, words and opinions are my own.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Although it should be obvious, I want to state that in <i>no way </i>is this a personal issue with the author(s). I make no judgements on what sort of people they are. I just think this novel is poorly written and was not properly researched for content. </b><i> </i><br />

<div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Best friends once, lovers never, yet an attraction that can’t be ignored.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Five
years ago, Julia Bell walked away from her life the moment her
high school diploma was in her hand. She left her family and friends
behind to start over and escape the chokehold of small town life in
Benton Hill. But an urgent call from her little sister brings Julia back
to her hometown wholly unprepared for what awaits her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ben
Miller was always the nice guy. Just before high school graduation, he
stepped out of that role hoping to capture the heart of the woman
he loved. Instead, in quick succession he lost the girl, and the future
he worked so hard to achieve.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even though Julia and Ben are drawn
to each other, echoes of the past block them at every turn. Secrets are
exposed, and reality needs to be dealt with if they can ever hope to
move past the <span class="il">bittersweet</span> <span class="il">junction</span> that ripped them apart.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">About the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Describe<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="0.5_GoBack"></a> Bittersweet Junction in
one sentence. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fate gives two former best friends a second chance at romance, if
they overcome old misunderstandings and deceit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Give a quick blurb about the book and why readers
would enjoy it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bittersweet Junction picks up with the main characters, Julia Belle
and Ben Miller, five years after high school graduation. Julia left
the small town of Benton Hill right after graduation because she was
faced with some grown-up kind of decisions that she couldn’t make.
Ben, one of Julia’s childhood best friends, was left confused and
hurt after her departure. Julia’s sister Clary lures Julia back to
Benton Hill under false pretenses, and that’s when Julia realizes
it’s impossible to outrun the past.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think what readers will enjoy most about this story is the way that
Julia and Ben eventually overcome the obstacles in their path to have
a shot at their happy ending. I found it very satisfying to write, and
I believe that will resonate with readers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">How did you come up with the idea for Bittersweet
Junction?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve had several ideas for stories that revolve around the idea
of a five year high school reunion. The idea for Bittersweet Junction
started there, although in the end, there is no actual high school reunion
in the book. That wouldn’t have been a good enough reason to drag
Julia back to Benton Hill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">If Bittersweet Junction were made into a movie,
who would you want to play the main characters?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve thought a lot about this. I could see Emma Roberts playing
Julia and Chris Pine, with his gorgeous blue eyes, would make the perfect
Ben. Emily Browning would play Julia’s little sister Clary, and <span style="color: #252a2a; font-size: 13pt;">Max Thieriot would round out the casting as Mike.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">About you as writer:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">When did you begin writing?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I started writing the summer between sixth and seventh grade. I kept
all of my teenage angst in a journal and experimented with poetry as
well. I think that helped me start finding my writing voice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: none;">When did you first think,
wow I have made it as a writer?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My senior year of high school I won a state newspaper award for a
piece of hard hitting journalism in the school paper. It was an article
on how a teacher in a local junior high had gotten in trouble for showing
an R-rated movie in the classroom. The day I received my award, I knew
that writing was part of my life’s journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Do you have any special rituals you do when you
sit down to write? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I usually have an idea of how many words or chapters that I want to
get written that particular writing session. It helps to have a goal
because I am easily distracted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">What advice would you give to aspiring writers
out there?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Take an active interest in reading about what’s going on in the
publishing industry today so that you can make informed decisions about
your writing destiny. The landscape of publishing is changing faster
than anyone could have imagined, and it affects all of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Silly questions:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Favorite color?</span> I am digging orange right now. I have an orange purse, loads of orange
tops, and even my toenails are orange at the moment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Salty or Sweet?</span> I am 50/50 on that. My favorite snack right now is a handful almonds
mixed with a handful of dark chocolate chips.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Favorite author?</span> Stephen King. I can’t think of another author out there who
has influenced me and my writing as much as he has, and I have enjoyed
almost every single book he’s written.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Favorite book?</span> I still remember discovering Intensity by Dean Koontz. It seriously
blew my mind and scared me to death (which I love in a good book btw.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;"><i>Regular or decaf?</i> Regular,
fully loaded. Coffee is my friend. :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;"><i>Swimming in the ocean or a
pool?</i> I</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">’</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;">m not a swimmer at all, but
I do enjoy splashing in the ocean.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none;"><i>Candles or spray air fresheners?</i>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="margin: 1ex;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I lived in a small town until I was twelve years old.
My sixth grade class had thirteen students, twelve girls and one boy.
Needless to say, my odds were practically non-existent for young love.
Not only did I spend those formidable years in a small town attending
a small school, but my family lived five miles outside of town “in
the country”. Standing in my front yard, I saw nothing but open fields
and gravels roads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With nothing else to do, I escaped to new places through
books. I had a few friends, but the friends that I really cared about
existed within the pages of my favorite stories. It didn’t seem that
strange to me at the time. It was just my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn’t realize how small my small town life was
until I moved to another state into an actual city between sixth and
seventh grade. To say I experienced a tremendous culture shock would
be an understatement. It forced me out of my shell. Although still
a voracious reader, I made a larger circle of friends, and started doing
things with people outside of my head. Eventually I grew to love living
in a city.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I only went back to that small town a few times throughout
junior high and high school to visit family. By the time I was in my
early 20s, the shift in my perception between small town and city was
noticeably evident. When I would go back for a visit, even though I
had been gone for a decade, I still ran into a lot of people who acted
like they knew me even though I had no idea who they were. “<span style="font-style: italic;">Oh- you’re Jerry and Nancy’s daughter. How have you been?”</span></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was odd to me how interested these strangers were
in the specific details of my life. What was even more uncomfortable
was hearing stories about my parents’ adventures when they lived in
town, which occurred more than twenty years ago. People had long memories,
and not all of those stories were especially flattering, but there were
sweet and funny stories too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Those are the experiences that I drew on when I wrote
about Julia, the main character of Bittersweet Junction, coming back
to her hometown of Benton Hill. She’s been gone for five years, but
when she returns, people expect her that she’s the same person, even
though she’s not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Benton Hill itself is one of the main characters throughout
the book, and I believe that anyone who has lived in a small town will
be able to related to that. Ben, who used to be Julia’s best friend
and is now her love interest, never left Benton Hill. He finds the scrutiny
of living under the microscope of small town eyes frustrating and heavy
with expectations. This causes several complications for Julia and Ben.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="0.6__GoBack"></a>I’ve reached a stage in my life where
I can appreciate the benefits of living in a small town. The pace of
life is slower, and friendships can easily span a lifetime. Yet I find
that I am now a city girl at heart. Between my childhood in a small
town, and adult life in the city, I think I’ve had the best of both
words.</span></div>

<b>Synopsis:</b></div>
<div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
Life or Death? Not many people would choose
death. But what if death chooses you? What if death doesn’t mean the end
of your life, but the beginning?<br />
<br />
For a Death Escort, death is life. Death is your paycheck. Death is your job.<br />
<br />
And Charming is the best Escort the Grim Reaper has ever had.<br />
<br />
But
when you piss off the Reaper, being the best doesn’t matter. So
Charming is assigned a Target who is practically impossible to kill. He
knows the Reaper hopes he fails—that he’s counting on it. So Charming
vows to prove him wrong. He vows to make the kill.<br />
<br />
But someone
else vows to get in his way. Someone with a big mouth, a sugar habit,
and blond hair. Someone who makes his heart start beating again.<br />
<br />
And
so Charming is left holding more than one person’s fate in the palm of
his hand. He thought the choice would be easy, that there really wasn’t
a question at all.<br />
<br />
He was wrong.<br />
<br />
Life or Death?</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 18pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Frankie</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Sugar. I needed more of it if I was going to make
it through this day. The chocolate croissant and caramel latte I had
this morning wasn’t near enough to combat the massive lines, the noise,
and disgruntled people that filled the DMV. Whatever in hell made me
think that working at the Department of Motor Vehicles, here in Alaska,
was a good idea? </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Maybe it was the good pay. Maybe it was because I
got weekends off. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Or maybe it was because I had a moment of temporary
insanity that unfortunately coincided with me saying, “I accept,”
when I got offered this job. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Besides the fact that the lines were permanently
out the door, the computer systems were temperamental at best, and my
boss was a complete broom rider, my stash of chocolate and Sour Patch
Kids was empty.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">That meant someone was going to die today.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I glanced back up at the ninety-year-old woman whose
head barely cleared the insanely high counters we stood behind and tried
to hold on to my patience. “Mrs. Eldridge,” I said extremely
loudly. “Like I told you last week, you have to go and get new glasses
before I can renew your driver’s license.” </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">“I have new glasses,” she insisted.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Lord, save me now.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">“You got those ten years ago. You need some from
this year.” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">Or decade</span> I finished silently.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">She shuffled out of the line like a turtle and I
took her slowness as a chance to really search beneath my station and
chair for a long-lost piece of sugar. Anything. Even a stray jellybean
would likely find its way into my blood stream at this point. Of course
there was nothing. I briefly considered hiding beneath my desk until
five o’clock. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">My car.</span> I had an emergency
stash in my car. I glanced at my watch. I had another hour until I was
able to take a fifteen-minute break. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">A pair of black pumps appeared before me and I inwardly
groaned. Just what I needed—a run-in with the witch. But instead of
being greeted by her condescending, screechy tone, an icy-cold red can
appeared before me. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">Hallelujah, praise the Lord, it was caffeine <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;">and</span> sugar!</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I snatched the Coke out of her hand and popped the
top, taking a large, satisfying chug. The bubbles crowded down my throat,
slightly burning, and I took another swallow. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">“I love you,” I murmured to Lela, the girl who
worked right beside me.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">She laughed. “I know that look when I see it.”
Then she straightened and whispered. “Witch alert.”</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I shot up, my head bumping into the counter on the
way. I wanted to shout out in pain, but I clamped my mouth shut, not
wanting to draw the attention of my boss, Satan’s assistant.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I turned back to my line, my eyes colliding with
a broad chest. I looked up, and the can slid out of my hand, hitting
the floor with a thud while fizzy liquid poured over my favorite boots. </span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I didn’t even notice.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">“What the hell are you doing here?” I growled
as I looked around for something sharp I could stab him with.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">A thick brow arched. “So is this where you spend
your days? As if the DMV isn’t a horrible enough place to visit without
the poor people of Alaska having to tolerate you.”</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">There wasn’t enough sugar on this planet that would
save him. I reached out and picked up the black phone. If I couldn’t
bludgeon him to death here at my place of employment, then I could at
least call the cops. I began dialing, but he reached over and cut the
connection.</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">I slammed the phone down on his hand, which was still
pressed on the hang-up button. Breath hissed between his teeth and his
green eyes shot to mine. “Careful, George, you’re pissing off the
wrong man.”</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">“My name isn’t George.”</span></div>
<div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">He shrugged, pulling his hand away from the phone.
“When you have a man’s name, does it really matter?”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Fae Books</b></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>4K Likes Giveaway</b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Hi there, I'm Sarah Fae from <b><a href="http://www.faebooks.co.uk/" target="_blank">FaeBooks.co.uk</a></b> and I'm celebrating reaching an amazing 4000 Likes on my <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/ptsdblog" target="_blank">Facebook page</a></b>. </span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">If you haven't heard of Fae Books before, here's a little introduction to tell you what I'm all about and what sort of stuff goes on in the Fae Books world.</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">As I've said, I'm Sarah Fae, you can find me on <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/SarahFaeBooks" target="_blank">Facebook as Sarah Fae Graham</a></b>. I'm going on 25, I'm married and live with my husband, Shane - who is my full time carer as well as a full time Soldier - our two Bichon Frise dogs, Trixie & Teddy and our three cats, Simba, Horace and Squirt. I live in England, in the UK. Ahh, sunny England by the sea... I joke of course, it mostly rains, I also live in an Army Garrison. I'm disabled, wheelchair user, I'm in really bad health too so I take a lot of medication to get through my days. Anyway, enough about that... </span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I spend my days keeping everything behind the scenes of Fae Books running, booking in new tours for companies and organizations that I host for, as well as preparing to launch my own FREE introductory book tours. (If you'd like to be a Tour Host for Fae Books like this fabulous blogger may have, <b><a href="http://www.faebooks.co.uk/p/tour-host-sign-up.html" target="_blank">just click here</a></b>). </span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">About 50% of my work is promoting. Promoting myself as a writer, promoting Fae Books and everyone I work with. Anyone with any kind of business, authors or bloggers etc will tell you, the hardest bit is promoting your product/work and doing it in the right places at the right times, that takes a lot of time and dedication in itself. I often don't get any sleep at all for several days in a row, because I'll be up working all the time. My Husband says I'm a Workaholic, I do kind of agree with him, but don't tell him that! Lol.</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I'm addicted to giveaways, running them that is (I rarely get time to enter any lol). I love to give back to the bookish community and I love the people that help me to be able to do that, so you'll often find a bunch of giveaways over at <b><a href="http://www.faebooks.co.uk/" target="_blank">FaeBooks.co.uk</a></b>. Sometimes the prizes are donated by others (writers, authors etc), but I also provide prizes myself, and post a lot of prizes out. Sometimes authors send me a bunch of swag and I'll use that in my events to give away and promote them, then send out the prizes to the winners on a monthly basis. I used to try and post as soon as people won the prizes, but I just couldn't afford to do it that way, so now I post monthly, because that's when Hubby gets paid, so we have the cash to send it all out then. It's pretty expensive sending internationally all the time, but I prefer giveaways to be open worldwide so that anyone can enter. I don't like to push anyone out if I can help it. That's just my own way of doing it though.</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I (and thus Fae Books) hang out on <b><a href="http://www.twitter.com/FaeBooks" target="_blank">Twitter</a></b>, as well as <b><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/FaeBooks" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></b>, <b><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/108494815406282918216" target="_blank">Google+</a></b>, <b><a href="http://uk.linkedin.com/in/faebooks/" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></b> and I'm also hooked on <b><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/FaeBooks" target="_blank">Goodreads</a></b>. I manage my entire TBR list on there, I use that to keep me on track with my reading. Speaking of reading, you may have guessed, I love to read. I'm really into my horror right now, but I love to read anything paranormal, supernatural, fantasy, and all of the above with any kind of romance in it too. I'll read anything that sounds good when I read the blurb and reviews, so I don't just stick to those genres. </span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">
</span> <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I run a <u>Reviewing Team</u> over at Fae Books, I have a great bunch of 20+ girls who work with me and they review tonnes of books for writers that approach me looking for reviews. I also review too of course. I regularly take on new members to be part of the team, so if you ever fancy becoming part of it, just keep an eye out on the website and I'll put updates up when I'm taking on new members. The team and myself book up very quickly for reviews, and usually months in advance, so we only have something like four spots left available in 2013 for reviews, and we're only half way through the year! Busy, busy, busy.</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> </span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A little distraction can be a wonderful thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.6;">Nate Torrance has a job to do, and the biggest rugby boots in the world to fill. He can’t afford to lose his </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.6;">focus, especially not to a brown-eyed Canadian who pushes all his buttons and looks much too good in a </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.6;">climbing harness. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Allison Villiers may not know what she wants to do with her life, but she’s clear about one thing. She’s <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.6;">not impressed by the new captain of the All Blacks, however big a deal he is to the rest of New Zealand. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.6;">If only her unfortunate taste for adventure didn’t keep leading her astray . . . </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“How
are you finding Wellington so far?” Nate asked when they were out on
the water. He’d managed to launch them from the beach with a shove, and
even climb in again behind her without any mishaps. Ally was actually a
little sorry. She’d been half-anticipating going over, and enjoying the
prospect of teasing him about it. He definitely needed it.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I
love it,” she said, keeping up a steady stroke and feeling the calm
that always came over her when she was surrounded by sea and sky,
enjoying the effort, the rhythmic motion. She was going to be out here
with him for a while, so she might as well keep this pleasant. She
didn’t even have to look at him, after all. You couldn’t really turn
around in a double kayak without tipping the thing, which was probably
for the best in this case. “I’ve been wandering around getting happily
lost, and finding my way home again. It’s a lively place, isn’t it? Lots
of outdoor stuff to do too, and as you know, that’s my favorite thing.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“It can get a bit wet and windy,” he cautioned.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ve
heard,” she said, unable to keep the amusement from her voice. “I’ve
had a few discussions about the weather already, you see.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She
heard him groan. “I’m rubbish at chatting girls up,” he admitted,
surprising a laugh from her. “I never know what to say. Everything’s
either dull, or it sounds like a pickup line. I generally end up opting
for dull.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Honesty works, though,” she told him. “That was pretty good right there.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Really.” He sounded surprised. “I should throw myself on your mercy, you think?”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Definitely. A strong man being endearingly awkward . . . I like it. It’s an approach, anyway.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Better than spilling a beer on her, I reckon,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Much better." She realized that she was paddling along with a smile on her face. Why hadn’t she met <i>this </i>guy before? She liked <i>him.</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ll try again, then,” he said. “Did you spend Christmas here as well, on the Coromandel?”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“No, in Auckland. And it rained one day, but otherwise the weather was good. Just to anticipate you.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He laughed. “Do anything special?”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I did, actually. I bungy jumped off the Sky Tower. Kristen’s Christmas present.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Crikey. This is me shuddering back here."</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“No, really?” she asked in surprise. “It was amazing. You should try it.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ll take your word for it,” he decided.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You don’t like thrills?”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I love thrills. Know how to get them, too. And it’s not by jumping off buildings.”</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wow. She didn’t think she’d pursue that one. Maybe he meant rugby. Yeah, right. He hadn’t meant rugby.</span></div>

Publication date: July, 2013<br />
Genre: NA/17+ Romantic Suspense</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Synopsis:</b><br />
<div>
<i>“I had my first psychic dream when I was nine. Psychic implied power,
and powerful wasn’t a word I’d use to describe myself. I couldn’t
foretell the future or conjure visions at will, but I couldn’t think of a
more fitting word to describe what I sometimes saw in my dreams.” </i><br />
<br />
For 23-year-old Mackenzie Hill, tossing her life down the garbage
disposal is easy after a painful incident shatters her life. Her heart
is bleeding, and moving to Watcher’s Point is a chance to start anew,
only she isn’t prepared for the guy who walks out of her dreams and into
the flesh. Literally . . . because she’s been dreaming about this sexy
stranger for years. <br />
<br />
Mackenzie is even less prepared to face the dark nature of her dreams.
They’ve turned disturbingly gruesome, full of blood and murder, and when
they begin to coincide with the media’s headlines, she and Aidan
realize her visions might be the key to stopping a madman from killing
again.<br />
<br />
Only Aidan has painful secrets of his own, and perhaps the biggest danger of all is falling for him.</div>

Christina
Jean Michaels was born in Paradise, California, but she has found the
true home of her heart in Eugene, Oregon where she finds plenty of
inspiration for storytelling.<br />
<br />
When she was young, her mother
said she hated words. Now she can't imagine not writing. She became an
avid reader when she was thirteen and discovered the world of Sweet
Valley High. About a year later she realized she could play God and
write about her own characters. She has been writing in some form ever
since.<br />
<br />
She lives with her husband and their four children—three rambunctious UFC/wrestling-<wbr></wbr>loving boys and one girl who steals everyone’s attention.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">A half hour later, after three rounds of drinks and
a dozen lurid jokes, I extracted myself and was certain four pairs of
lascivious eyes were glued to my ass.</span>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">Six grabbed my arm mid-stride and gestured toward
Aidan. “Talk to him. It won’t kill you, I promise.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">I wasn’t so sure about that—I’d been trying
to talk to him all week, but he’d been tight-lipped. The band went
to break, and I kissed my excuse to duck and hide goodbye. Six gave
me a final nudge in his direction.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">“How’s it going?” I asked, gripping the counter
for support. His eyes answered for him. Troubled and drawn, they indicated
a sleepless night. Two full shot glasses sat between his hands; three
empties had already been pushed aside.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">This couldn’t be a good sign.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">I said the first thing that came to mind. “No costume
tonight?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">“I’m not really in a festive mood.” His eyes
traveled the length of my body, and the corner of his mouth crept up
in a lopsided smile. “Nice hat,” he said, swaying in his seat, “but
Bonnie was blond.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">“I don’t play well with hair dye or wigs. It’s
a character flaw.” What had gotten into me? Talking to the opposite
sex had never come so easily, especially with a man as attractive as
Aidan.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic;">Sexy. Gorgeous. Hmm . . . wonder
what’s underneath those clothes?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">I swallowed hard. Now who had lascivious eyes? Time
to pour cement into my mind’s gutter.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">“You’re right. I can’t picture you blond.”
He swayed on the barstool again, and I figured he must have hit the
bottle before arriving. “Where’s Clyde hiding?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">“Bonnie’s an independent woman. She’s going
solo.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">“Maybe you’ll get into less trouble that way.”
He downed the remaining two shots without warning. The last hit the
counter with a racket. “Can you believe today is my birthday?” The
scorn in his tone confused me. Most people didn’t get so bent over
a birthday.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">I wasn’t sure how to reply. Somehow I guessed “happy
birthday” wasn’t what he wanted to hear. I silently waited,
hoping he’d shed some light. Even in my dreams—where I learned of
things I had no way of explaining to others—he remained a mystery.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">“I’ll take another round,” he said, gesturing
toward the empties. “Make them doubles.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">I swallowed hard. “You sure? You’ve had a lot
already.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">He flashed that crooked smile again, and I wondered
if he realized how disarming it was. “You’re worried about me?”
he asked.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 11pt;">I hesitated. “Yeah, I am.” Way more than
I wanted to admit. Tonight was Halloween, after all.</span><br />

<div style="margin: 1ex;">
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">What inspired
you to write <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span>?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">I'd been playing around with the
idea of writing a novel for years. Actually, I'd written fan fiction
for a long time, which was how I ended up hearing about National Novel
Writing Month. I signed up for NaNoWriMo in 2008, never believing I'd
actually write 50,000 words, and I used anything and everything for
inspiration--from the people I saw on Halloween night to the crazy customers
that would come into the convenience store where I worked. I plotted
in my head during downtime and loaded up on 5-Hour energy shots after
work in order to crank out those words. I don't think there's any one
thing that inspired me to write the book, though NaNoWriMo definitely
played a part in helping me to get it going.<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
How did you come up with the title?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">I have no idea, but I like the different
contextual meanings. She's psychic, and there are a slew of secrets
that come out in the story, so I thought it fit. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">Some things in <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span> are very loosely
based on real life. They planted the seed, but ultimately <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span> became its own
story entirely. I can relate to Mac when she wakes from a nightmare
because I've had night terrors since I was a child. Thankfully, I don't
have the burden of psychic power to add to it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">What books have
most influenced your life most?<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">I couldn't get my hands on enough <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Sweet Valley High</span> books when I was a teenager.
When I switched to adult fiction, I was introduced to Sandra Brown,
and later Nora Roberts. I'm a romance junkie--always have been. I think
Roberts is excellent at romance, and Brown has amazing talent for really
twisted plots. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">More recently, I've really enjoyed
new adult and even dark erotica. Kitty Thomas is my favorite in the
dark erotica genre.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">What book are
you reading now?<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">At the moment, I'm not reading anything
as I've been too busy, but I finished reading <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Unbreak Me</span> by Lexi Ryan
a couple of weeks ago. That book was AMAZING! Phew! I can't even describe
the level of twisted my insides became at reading it, and I'm talking
twisted in a good way. ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">What are your
current projects?<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">Currently, I'm in a writing slump.
I have a dark erotica project I started a few months ago that I plan
to publish under my other pen name, and I also need to begin writing
the next book in the <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Legacy of Payne</span> series.
Right now, I'm spinning ideas in my head, which is my equivalent of
early outlining. What I really need to do is sit down and write, NaNoWriMo
style.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">If you had to
do it all over again, would you change anything in <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span>?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">There's always going to be something
that I find imperfect, and I do wish I'd found a way to work in one
more tiny clue, but overall, I'm really happy with the way <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span> turned out.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">I became an obsessed reader at age
13. My mom and I were homeless for a while, and I latched on to reading
as a means of escape. About a year later I realized I could play God
and write about my own characters.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">My OCD need to constantly edit. It
really gets in the way of writing rough draft copy. If I could overcome
this, I know I could finish projects a lot sooner. Ridiculously sooner!</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />
Who designed your book cover?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">I designed it. Working with digital
art is another passion of mine. When I need a break from writing, I'll
switch over to making book covers and web graphics.<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">What was the hardest
part of writing your book?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">Finishing it. I had a mental block
when it came to <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span>. Looking back
now, I can't believe it took me that long to write the ending.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"><br />
Do you have any advice for other writers?<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">Take the time to learn from others.
I work shopped <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span> online, and as
a result I feel my writing is better for it. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span> is a better story
for it. I also made some wonderful friends. A good critique partner
is invaluable--I can't stress that enough.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">If you could be
one of your characters, who would you chose?</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">This is a difficult question, as I like to torture
my characters! I'd like to be in Mac's shoes for one night--or out of
them<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="0.4__GoBack"></a> because she'd be naked and between the sheets with
Aidan on that night, lol.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">Do you have anything
specific that you want to say to your readers?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt;">Thanks for your interest in <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic;">Epiphany</span>! I hope you enjoy
the story. I'd also like to extend a thank-you to the bloggers for hosting
me!</span><br />

<div style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Alice Cramer is tired of being pitied for her family’s
transgressions, so she resolves to break out of the gutter and into the
spotlight. As long as her local congressman can forget about their checkered
past and help her secure a federal grant to open Harmony Falls Little Theatre,
she’ll be the brightest star in town. But when Alice stands up in church and stops the
congressman’s wedding, she dives headfirst into fresh scandal.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Why is Harmony Fall’s golden boy, Justin Mitchell, speeding down
the interstate sans a new wife but with the local drama queen he’s been trying
his whole life to avoid? Alice Cramer may have saved him the hassle of an
arranged marriage to a woman he didn’t love, but she’s put a business
transaction big enough to save an entire town in jeopardy–not to mention his
reputation.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Soon Alice and Justin are dredging up and indulging in an
attraction that threatens all their dreams and aspirations. But what if life
together is the dream that matters most?</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Why
Book Covers Are Important</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s nothing wrong with judging a book by its
cover. The idea of thoroughly getting to know something before you accept
or deny it is a good policy to have with human beings, but not with
books. There are so many to read and so little time to read them! I
liken it to an editor who reads a query, the synopsis or first few chapters
of a manuscript and rejects it because she or he didn’t feel passionately
enough to pursue it further. They’re busy people. Nobody doubts that.
It’s acceptable for them to make kneejerk decisions based on a cursory
glance. Maybe if they read they whole manuscript they’d feel differently,
but they don’t, and that’s okay. I sincerely mean that, because
this is how I buy books.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Covers are a reader’s first impression. I should
be able to tell from a cover something about the book’s genre and
hopefully subgenre. If I’m shopping for a fun contemporary, I’m
not going to take a closer look at a book with a vampire on the cover.
Of course, that’s a no-brainer. It gets much more difficult.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first mock cover for <span style="font-style: italic;">Crashing the Congressman’s Wedding</span> featured a movie theater
marquee and some other things that screamed Hollywood to me. This was
in direct conflict with the small town, wrong-side-of-the-tracks storyline.
Fortunately, the Crimson Romance art department listened to my concerns,
and a new—perfect—cover was born. If the book had been published
with the first cover, I would’ve anticipated some negative feedback
from people expecting a Hollywood, movie setting.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The bottom line is, covers are important, because
they set expectations. Should they be the sole reason a reader buys
a book? Probably not. But I’ve been guilty of it before, and I’m
sure I’ll be guilty of it again.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How about you? Have you ever bought a book based on
the cover only to be terribly disappointed because the story didn’t
match? Do you have a favorite cover? I’d love to know! And please,
while you’re here, don’t forget to enter the contest. Thanks so
much! I hope you’ll give <span style="font-style: italic;">Crashing the Congressman’s Wedding</span> a shot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">In the aftermath of a major health scare, Pepper Holts makes the relief-inspired decision to seize the day. Unfortunately, most of her “seizing” involves a bit of merlot and her best friend's pants! After a shared night of passion she realizes that her feelings for Jax are a lot more complicated than she ever thought. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Jax has finally realized that his allergy to marriage has nothing to do with the institution itself, and everything to do with the women in his bed—or more specifically, the one woman not in his bed. Her reaction to their one night together has him scrambling to regroup. So he does what he knows best—he disappears, and he thinks. The plan?—convince Pepper into staying with him at a secluded cabin for one week. One week of pretending to be a happily married couple to show her how great they could be together.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Hell, Pep, I missed you,” he said before dragging her from her chair into his waiting lap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He dipped his head to the crook of her neck and engulfed her into a tight hug.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">There was nothing quite like a Jaxon Grey hug. He hugged with his whole body. His tall frame and broad shoulders always curved just right around her, immersing her in a mantle of warmth and shelter.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She dipped her head and rubbed her chin onto the top his head and closed her eyes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“I missed you, too, jackass.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">His resulting rumble of laughter caused his chest to shift against hers, and just like that, her back stiffened in addition to a few other things along her body.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She bit back a groan as her nipples tightened against the lace of her bra.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The warm gust of his breath against her neck wasn’t helping matters either.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“You’re such a sweet talker,” he said. “And since I like you so much, I promise not to spank you for your bad behavior.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He pulled her in tighter and began to rub the base of her back. His stroking hand was far from soothing as it settled low, and his fingers grazed the swell of her ass. All it did was remind her of how good his big hands had felt stroking her naked flesh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She shifted uncomfortably on his knee, trying to scoot away from the heat of him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“I’m sorry, but I left my Emily Post handbook at home.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He lifted his face from the crook of her neck and drifted his hands lower. Holding on to her hips, he dragged her forward and caught her gaze with his.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Really? That’s too bad. Chapter six is dedicated to the perfect way to drape yourself across a man’s lap. Feel like practicing?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Both his suggestion and hooded gaze held her captive for a few silent seconds. The idea of his strong hands spanking her ass flushed her body with heat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The thought of him holding her down at his leisure and pleasure was surprisingly arousing. She knew that Jax liked to control things in bed, but how far did his need for dominance go?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He continued speaking as if he hadn’t just casually filled her mind with raunchy goodness. She tried not to pout before responding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“It is what you’re known for,” she said, trying hard not to stare at his mouth. Her clit was already warming at the recollection of what that mouth could do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She yelped at the pinch he gave her hip.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Brat. I’m serious. After Mom died, I really started thinking about what I wanted in my life. I started thinking about all of the things missing.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Jax, you can’t expect to fill the void your mom left with things. It’s just gonna take a little time to heal.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“I’m not talking about things, Pep.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He smoothed a hand up and began to rub the nape of her neck.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Mom was always pestering me about settling down and starting a family, but I always thought there was plenty of time. You know me. I’ve never been one to believe in love and marriage.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Pepper tried not to flinch at his words. Jax had always considered love to be an illogical emotion. He always joked that it was just nature’s chemical drug designed to propagate the species. His outlook on love was one of the reasons why she had always been able to avoid acting on her attraction to him. There was no use ruining a perfectly good friendship for Jax’s idea of a romantic relationship.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">His words only served to remind her that falling in love with him was a lost cause.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“But, ever since the funeral, I’ve realized she was right.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">It took a few seconds for his words to sink in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Uh, what exactly was she right about?” she asked, confused at his line of thought.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“She was right. I should be thinking about getting married and starting a family,”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“What? Okay, who are you, and where have you hidden the real Jaxon Grey?” she said, laughing desperately, and hoping this was his version of a horrible joke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The look on his face sobered her up quickly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“You’re not joking, are you?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“No. I’ve analyzed the situation and determined that my mother was right. So I’ve decided to get married,” he said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Married?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The words came out of her mouth in a whisper of disbelief. Married? Married?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Yeah, married. And I’ve concluded that you would make me the perfect wife,” he said before pulling her head down and covering her shock-slackened mouth in a hot kiss.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The smooth humming of an engine finally wove its way up the road as he continued to chop.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He glanced up from his task in time to see a slate grey SUV make its way up the gravel path that passed as the driveway to his cabin. Within a few seconds, he could see Pepper’s face peering at him through the front window.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The usual sense of peace that her presence always gave him rushed through, right before his skin tightened in a zing of awareness. Seeing her never failed to jumpstart his senses. Her features had changed very little since college, but she’d grown her afro out to a long mass of curls that stretched past her shoulders.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">At that moment, the mouth he’d secretly lusted after for years was set in a firm line, and a blaze of anger shone in her steady gaze. Neither warning sign prevented a smile from spreading across his face as the car drew near.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She wore a white snow cap with earflaps, her curls spilling around her shoulders, and what looked like a heavy white winter coat. She looked like a ferocious bunny.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">If looks could kill. He chuckled softly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He swung the axe one last time and planted the blade firmly in the chopping block before walking leisurely to the top of the drive and waiting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">It wasn’t hard to keep the smile on his face as his gaze caught hers and held. He could practically feel the waves of rage rolling off of her as she pulled the car to an abrupt stop only inches from where he stood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He merely winked at her and gave a cheerful wave. God, he loved hunting rabbits.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She stared at him for a searing moment before climbing out of the tall vehicle and dragging out a medium-sized piece of luggage. She snapped up its telescoping handle and marched the few steps it took to stand in front of him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He let his gaze wander over her frame, taking in the rapid rise and fall of her chest, the tight grip she had on the luggage handle, and the clenching and unclenching of her free hand. Yet the only thing that caused his smile to dim was the hurt mingled with the outrage on her lovely face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He let his gaze drift back to her clenching fist for a moment before looking at her face again. Staring into her eyes, he let loose a loud sigh as he widened his stance and shoved his hands into his coat pockets. This is going to hurt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Go ahead. Do it. You know you want to.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He let the taunt hang in the air, waiting for her to speak, react, do anything.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">She stared at him for a few seconds before her eyes swelled with unshed tears.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The sight caused a small ache in his chest. Nothing ever hurt as much as seeing Pepper cry.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The thought barely registered in his mind before she pulled back her clenched fist and slammed it squarely on his jaw.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">His head jerked to the side with a snap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Fuck!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He let loose a few more choice expletives. Trust Pepper to have a killer right hook.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">The stars in his eyes cleared just in time for him to watch her turn and stomp toward the porch steps and up to the front door of the cabin.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Feel better now?” he called out to her retreating back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Her answering response was a decisively unladylike hand gesture over her shoulder before she entered the cabin and slammed the door behind her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He rubbed his jaw for a few seconds before turning and walking to the car door. Peering inside, he glimpsed the keys still dangling from the ignition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Reaching inside, he pocketed the keys before popping the hood of the SUV open.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">“Well, let the games begin,” he muttered to himself as he walked to the front of the car and reached under the hood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">He barely winced in pain as a smile spread across his face while he reached into the belly of the car and yanked out a bundle of wires.</span></div>

Before we came to earth, we lived in heavenly realms. We knew our Heavenly Father. We walked and talked with Him. We heard His voice. We felt His love. In Heaven’s Just a Prayer Away, beloved author Diony George teaches us how to reestablish that relationship with Him here on earth. With the help of this book you will
• Learn that nothing is too small or unimportant to discuss with Heavenly Father
• Find peace and contentment through daily communication with God
• Gain a better understanding of why some prayers seem to go unanswered
• Develop a greater knowledge of the power of prayer
The inspirational and enlightening experiences found within these pages will change your life forever by strengthening your relationship with God and filling your life with peace, teaching us that heaven really is just a prayer away.
Praise for Heaven’s Just A Prayer Away:
“I found myself either smiling or teary-eyed as I immersed myself in these stories. I was reminded that prayer is healing and sanctifying, can bring inspiration, can ease burdens, and lets us feel the love of God for ourselves and those around us
—Heather B. Moore, author of Christ’s Gifts to Women
“In Heaven’s Just A Prayer Away, Diony provides a comprehensive discussion on prayer through inspiring stories, basic principles, and heartfelt testimony. Her personal approach makes answers to prayer and divine blessings seem more within reach.
—John McConkie, Stake President

A second divorce and a new baby wasn’t the vision Alison Hayes had for her
future. Now a single mother with two young boys, she wants to focus on her kids
and what’s left of her stagnant career.<br />
When Detective Johnny Rhay Bennett breezes into her life with his
country-boy accent, she wants to run. She doesn’t need another man in her life,
or another reason to make people talk. But when her worst nightmare becomes a
reality, Johnny is the only person who can pull Ali out of her despair, forcing
her to stay strong and not give up hope of finding her missing child. <br />
<div align="center">
***</div>
Who falls in love after a one-night stand? Johnny Rhay doesn’t believe it’s
possible until it happens to him. With Nashville
in his rear-view mirror, he’s determined to convince Alison she loves him too,
even if it means moving to the West Coast.<br />
Ali’s not easy, and she’s living on just this side of bitter after her
divorce, but Johnny doesn’t care. He’s up for the challenge. At least, he
believes he’s up for it until baby Micah is stolen right out from under his
nose. Now Johnny has to keep it together and get that sweet little boy home
safe before his dreams of having a family vanish too.<br />

experience in her writing and character studies. Her debut novel, Dangerous
Embrace, is the first in a contemporary romance series about a group of friends

<div style="color: black;">
This book is the second book in the series (the first being Dangerous Embrace). I read it without reading the first one first and it read fine. That being said, reading the second one made me want to go back and read the first. </div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
I didn't actually expect this novel to be hard to read, but it was. Dana Mason writes a very realistic reaction to the thought of a missing child and the helplessness, insanity, and distress that would come with that. </div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
I have a baby around Micah's age - the aforementioned missing child. I think it helped add an extra realistic punch to the novel.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
I like Dana Mason's writing. I don't find her romance overly cliche or trite, which makes it easier to get in to the story.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
There was a moment, while two characters are driving, that there seems to be no mention of time passage, but a thirty second conversation puts them somewhere else, which pulled me out of the story. Other than that, I was gripped to the edge of my seat, worried, and wondering.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
I <i>may </i>have cried, but no one was up to witness it. If a tear falls and no one sees it, does it still exist? Maybe they're not like forest trees. </div>
<div style="color: black;">
</div>
<div style="color: black;">
Dana Mason writes a very gripping suspense. </div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Jennifer Whitney was the last American virgin. At least
that’s what she felt like in 1986 as she began her sophomore year at Central
Illinois University. She was proud of her decision to wait for the right guy,
and yet she was getting restless. It seemed like everyone around her was doing
it... and having fun doing it, too. She didn’t want to become the campus slut
or anything, but surely there was a difference between a trashy skank and a
nice girl with a little experience. Perhaps it was time to stop relying on fate
to guide her and instead take matters into her own hands. And with that
realization, Jen decided to find “the one” and lose her virginity, although not
necessarily in that order..</span><br />

something Nicki set out to do; it just sort of happened when she realized
writing reports was by far her favorite part of her investment consulting
position. She traded stock allocation and diversification for story arcs and
dialogue and now weaves her creative writing time in with the other activities
of her busy life with her family in the Chicago suburbs. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #181818; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><br />

<span style="background: white;">Nicki writes with two goals in mind: #1 to keep
the characters realistic, even when their circumstances are anything but, and
#2 to make the reader feel. Her published works include <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Three Daves</i>, a light-hearted romantic
romp through a 1980s college campus, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Divine
Temptation, </i>a romantic novel of angelic proportions, and short stories
“Sway” (available as a single), “I Don’t Do Valentine’s Day” (part of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Valentine Anthology)</i>, and
“Impressionism 101” (included in the debut issue of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Insatiable: The Magazine of Paranormal Desire</i>).</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">“I’m looking out
from inside the chaos. It must be a one-way mirror because no one seems
to be able to see back inside to where I am. The looks on their faces,
the judgment in their eyes, tells me everything I need to know. The most
frustrating part about the whole messed up situation is that even
though I’m the one that they stare at in shock, I am just as shocked as
they are. I know no more than they do of why I lose control. What they
don’t know is that I am more scared of myself than they could ever be.” ~
Tally Baker</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 21px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">After a
devastating turn of events, seventeen year old Tally Baker is admitted
to Mercy Psychiatric Facility where she is diagnosed with Bipolar
Disorder. She has come to a place where she honestly believes that her
life is over. Her mind tells her that she will never smile or laugh
again, that she will never be normal again. It is in this unlikely place
that she meets two people, different in every way, yet both critical to
helping her realize that she has so much more living to do. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Candy, a
cantankerous sixty year old Mercy Psychiatric patient, is hell bent on
driving everyone as crazy as she is. Candy shows Tally that, regardless
of her diagnosis, the ability to push on and live her life to the
fullest is her choice and hers alone. In the midst of Tally’s oftentimes
humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching, escapades with Candy, a new
patient is admitted to Mercy—a native American woman named Lolotea.
Along with this new patient comes a daily visitor, her son, Trey Swift.
At first glance, it is obvious to Tally that he is incredibly handsome
and unbelievably caring. But what she learns through her second glance,
and many thereafter, is that there is much more to Trey than he ever
lets on. It is during these daily visits that Trey and Tally build a
friendship far deeper than either of them truly realize. With Trey,
Tally feels for the first time since being admitted that someone is
looking at her as a person and not as a disease. Trey begins to make it
clear that he wants more than friendship, but she knows that she can
never give him more. How can she, when she won’t even give him the
truth? Tally doesn’t tell Trey that she is a patient at Mercy, and she
doesn’t ever plan to. Her plans go up in flames when she finds out that
Trey is a new student at her school, the school where her brokenness was
found out in the floor of the girl’s bathroom in a pool of her own
blood. </span></span><br />

strange kinship to the predators of the animal kingdom. I realize that
I am not so different from the wolves, the great cats, or the bears.
Like them I find that I am possessive of what I consider mine, I long
to tear into one who would dare enter my territory and I have a need
to provide for the female who belongs by my side. We men deceive ourselves
when we claim civility. At the core of our being, we are animals.”</span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Garamond','Arial'; font-size: 12pt;">It’s been three days since I have been to the hospital,
two days since I put a hole in my wall, one day since I worked for sixteen
hours straight at the ranch. And still I burn on the inside. I have
gotten in too deep, too fast. My father told me once that the men of
our blood only know how to love one way; with our complete being; with
the depths of our soul, with the beating of our hearts, with the marrow
of our bones and with every thought that invades our minds—we love
completely.</span><br />

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: left;">
Detective Jeff Woods and his
partner have a new case. Someone has been making threatening phone calls to the
mayor’s daughter, vowing to kill her disabled child. Though there have been
accidents at the girl’s school—enough to take the threats seriously—the facts
are few, and leads are sparse. </div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: left;">
Needing a breather from the burden
of the case, Jeff heads to a bar, where he meets Alex Fisher. Alex isn’t his
type, but he’s young and cocky and perfect for a one-night stand. Or two. Soon
Jeff starts thinking about how difficult and lonely it is being a cop, and that
maybe Alex could fill a void in his life. But Alex has his own obligations: a
disabled brother who is the target of threatening letters.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: left;">
Jeff isn’t sure he’s ready to play
house or overcome his prejudices, but he begins to think Alex might be worth
it. Caught between his growing affection and his inner demons, Jeff struggles
to focus on the case and protect Alex and his brother as the danger builds.</div>

<span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><br /></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: black;">I parked near Snake Alley, though not near enough to rouse suspicion if anyone saw my car. I was there early, especially for a Friday night. I hadn’t been to this particular club in a while. The<span style="color: navy;"> </span>Lion’s Den—whoever had named the club was nuts. But that’s just my humble opinion. Maybe the name was supposed to be a very clever wordplay. Or just a nice paraphrase for 'meat market'. Because that’s what it was. Strangely enough, a lot of the men didn’t get that it was a meat market; they believed in finding their true love here. Damn fools.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: black;"><br />I found a good place at the bar and ordered a beer. It wasn’t crowded and from my spot I could overlook the dance floor, most of the bar, and the entrance. Once a cop, always a cop. <br /><br />For a while, I sipped my beer and let my gaze wander. Around ten the club was filling and I<span style="color: navy;"> </span>had narrowed down my options to three guys. All of them were tall, broad-shouldered men, able to take it a bit rough.<br /><br />I fended off a few other guys, though it was a nice ego-boost to be popular. None of the guys who advanced on me were my type: too small, too young, and way too cheerful. I had just finished my beer and decided to try my luck with my main prey, a dark-haired, beefy looking man, when a hand landed on my arm.<br /><br />“Mind if I buy you another beer?”<br /><br />I turned around with a frown in place. I was face to face—well, almost face to face, the guy was maybe two or three inches shorter than me—with a very young man. He smiled at me, showing off a line of white teeth, and I blinked. When I was done blinking, I pointedly looked at his hand on my arm, but he didn’t get the hint. <br /><br />His hand stayed where it was as he ordered two beers. I found myself steered back onto the stool I had just vacated. He sat down on the stool next to me and finally withdrew his hand. Only to hold it out to me. “Hi, I’m Alex. Pleasure to meet you.”<br /><br />I ignored his outstretched hand. “Thanks for the beer but I’m not interested.”<br /><br />“You’re not?”<br /><br />“No.” I wasn’t interested at all. This guy was way too young and absolutely not my type. Fairhaired and slender in built, almost delicate. I grimaced. He would find someone who’d appreciate his looks; there were a lot of men who’d be pleased with someone like him. It just wasn’t going to be me.<br /><br />“No? Really? You don’t even know me.”<br /><br />“I’m not here to get to know anyone.”<br /><br />“Well, neither am I.”<br /><br />I snorted. “Why did you sound so offended then?”<br /><br />Alex answered with a shrug. “I’m not used to getting turned down, that’s all.”<br /><br />Arrogant little prick. I patted his shoulder in a there-there gesture. “You’ll get used to it.”<br /><br />“No, I won’t. I observed you for an hour and I want you. There’s no one with you, so I don’t get what the problem is.”<br /><br />My eyes narrowed again. He had observed me for an hour and I hadn’t sensed it? Either I was drunk, which was very unlikely, or I needed to pay better attention to my surroundings. I took great offense at having been spied on without my knowledge. “Kid, do yourself a favor and pick up someone else. I’m not interested, but I can point out at least two men who are.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: navy;"><span lang="zxx"><span style="color: black;"><br />“I can point out at least four men who are interested in me, but I don’t care about them. I already made my decision.”<br /><br />The kid was incredibly arrogant. It should have been annoying but instead I was amused. He had balls and I liked that. “You did? Tell you what, I made a decision myself and it didn’t include <br /><br />“That’s only because you didn’t see me before.”<br /><br />I laughed. “I haven’t met someone that snotty in quite a while.”<br /><br />He grinned at me. “At least it got your attention.”<br /><br />The bartender placed our beers in front of us and we both reached for them. We clinked the glasses together before we both turned around to stare at the dance floor. From the corner of my eyes I inspected Alex more closely. The blondness of his hair bordered on white. He had it slicked back, though it was already starting to curl up on the nape of his neck. A loose strand repeatedly fell onto his forehead. Unsuccessfully, he tried to tame it.He caught me glancing at him when he tried to tuck the stray hair behind his ear. A light flush crept up in his cheeks while he muttered, “It never stays where I put it.”<br /><br />“That’s why you put a pound of gel into it?”<br /><br />The light flush turned into a deep red. “It wasn’t a pound, only half of a bottle.”<br /><br />I grinned at him andstretched out my hand. He took it immediately. “Hi Alex, I’m Jeff.”<br /><br />“Jeff,” he repeated.<br /><br />His gaze wandered to our joined hands. His hand almost vanished in mine. There were no calluses on his and the skin was baby-soft. Usually, I would have turned and run away. Oddly enough, I found myself stroking my thumb over the knuckles of his hand.<br /><br />After swallowing heavily several times, Alex looked at me. “You got big hands.”<br /><br />“Yep.”<br /><br />“I bet you know how to use them.”<br /><br />“I do.”<br /><br />“You need to show me. Really soon.”<br /><br />I smirked. Even though he wasn’t my type, he was good for my ego. It had been a long time since anyone had looked at me with such open hunger. I said, “I might do that.”<br /><br />“You might? Didn’t you listen when I told you that you’re it for me tonight?”<br /><br />“Don’t push your luck. At the very least I’m reconsidering.”<br /><br />“You like that I’m pushy.”<br /><br />“No, I don’t. It’s amusing, though.”<br /><br />“Oh.” He sounded vaguely embarrassed. Maybe now he’d shut up for a while.<br /><br />He did, but never let go of my hand. Instead, he came to stand at my other side and looped his free arm loosely around my waist. I raised an eyebrow questioningly.<br /><br />“So far you’re only reconsidering. I’m making the best of it.”</span></span></span></div>

Growing up in a household of all avid readers, it didn't occur to me until much later in life that some people actually disliked reading. We all had very different tastes in genres, however.<br />
<br />
My sister would be completely content to line her shelves with racy, simplistic romance novels. I, on the other hand, enjoy a good dashing character, but tend to avoid the fluff.<br />
<br />
That being said, I am a hypocrite when it comes to historical romances. I enjoy the intricate details of past environments with the back-and-forth banter of two potential mates - who, you know, are bound to work out in the end.<br />
<br />
The first time I found a love for historical romances was (with the rest of the female population) a love for Highlander fiction. Norse Jewel was said to be a historical romance, but based on the Viking era. I must admit, I had no knowledge of Viking era other than those pointy hats with those horns they wear on the Toblerone commercials. <br />
<br />
Gina Conkle did her research. She presented a story that involved a chieftain purchasing a slave. I try not to repeat synopsis' in reviews, because you can read it above, but I found the storyline of this book interesting. We do have the typical cat-and-mouse chase romance, but we have a healthy dose of laughter, and some interesting Norse facts.<br />
<br />
The cover gives you a good hint, you're going to get the same style of steamy romance that you normally get in historical fiction, but you'll get some good history, character development, and humor as well.<br />
<br />
When it comes to Norse Jewel?<br />

So, since July 8th at midnight, I've been participating in the Once Upon a Read-a-Thon. Balancing Read-a-Thon's with 3-month-old babies isn't exactly an easy task, but I'd do anything for books! I managed to get about another 50 pages into: </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Which is a wonderful biography, but very heavy. Also, I got another 100 pages into </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">

In the meantime, <a href="http://ibbookblogging.net/2013/07/once-upon-a-readathon-mini-challenge.html" target="_blank">IB Book Blogging</a> is hosting a min-challenge for the Read-A-Thon. So, the challenge is written:<br />
<br />
"<strong>Make your dream guy using characteristics, personalities,
looks, and anything else you can think of from your favorite book
boyfriends.</strong> For example, my dream guy would have Zachary’s
accent from Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready, Cole’s smokin’ hot body from
Alice in Zombieland, James’ protective instincts from The Program by
Suzanne Young, Tod’s quirky personality from the Soul Screamers series
by Rachel Vincent, and last but not least, a little bit of some aspect
of Barrons thrown in for good measure from the Fever series by Karen
Marie Moning. <img alt="icon wink Once Upon a Readathon: Mini Challenge" class="wp-smiley" src="http://ibbookblogging.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" title="Once Upon a Readathon: Mini Challenge" />"<br />
<br />
(Please note, that's an exact quote from the website. You can read the rest of the post <a href="http://ibbookblogging.net/2013/07/once-upon-a-readathon-mini-challenge.html" target="_blank">here.</a>)<br />
<br />
For my dream book boyfriend, what I'm going to need is ...<br />
<br />
<b>A dash of Ranger</b><br />
"Full name: Ricardo Carlos Mañoso. Nickname: Ranger.<br />
Second-generation Cuban-American. Was in Special Forces.<br />
Height: 5'10". Large biceps, muscular neck.<br />
Straight black hair, slicked into a ponytail."<br />- Quoted from <a href="http://gary.appenzeller.net/StephaniePlum.html" target="_blank">this website.</a><br />
<br />
I love his Spanish look. And his Special Forces background makes him pretty kick-ass. You can spend time with him in this series:<br />
<br />
<img alt="One for the Money (Stephanie Plum, #1)" height="200" id="coverImage" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1316730230l/6853.jpg" width="131" /><br />
<br />
Then I'm going to need <b>a sprinkle of Jean-Claude. </b><br />
<b> </b>Mostly, I just like his sense of humor and his mysterious nature. I'm not really into the vampire thing, mind you.<br />
<b> </b><br />
You can spend time with him in this series:<br />
<br />
<img alt="Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #1)" height="200" id="coverImage" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1309206550l/30281.jpg" width="135" /><br />
Then I need <b>a smidgen of Kade.</b><br />
Mostly, just because of his insane sex appeal.<br />
<br />
You can spend time with him in this series: <br />
<b> </b><br />
<b><img alt="Kissing Sin (Riley Jenson Guardian, #2)" height="200" id="coverImage" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1320534319l/74043.jpg" width="122" /> </b><br />
<br />
<b> </b>And finally, <b>a healthy cup of Jamie Fraser.</b><br />
<b> </b>I'm not sure what's not to love about Jamie. He is probably one of my favorite book-boyfriends created. Flawed, good-looking, funny, compassionate, strong, realistic.... <b> </b><br />
<br />
You can spend time with him in this series...<br />
<br />
<img alt="Outlander (Outlander, #1)" height="200" id="coverImage" src="https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1304187141l/10964.jpg" width="136" /><br />

<br />
Zippy Green never meant to fall in love
with a girl, but when she does, her ultra-conservative father tries to
send her to anti-gay camp. At the Kansas City airport, however, she
hides inside a giant suitcase and sneaks onto an airplane headed not to
the camp, but to Seattle, where her online love Mira lives. Halfway
through the flight, the plane barrels out of control and crashes into
the ground, knocking her unconscious.
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
When Zippy awakens, she finds that most of
the passengers have vanished. She doesn’t know what’s happened, but
she’s determined to find out. She begins a quest on foot toward Seattle,
and along the way, she meets a teenager with a concussion a homeless
man with a heart condition, a child without a shred of bravery, and a
terrier named Judy. Together the group discovers that more than
two-thirds of the world’s population has mysteriously disappeared. But
that’s only the beginning…</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All Zippy wants is to find her Mira, but
before she can she has to contend with two outside forces. The first is
her homophobic father, who does everything in his power to keep her from
the girl she loves. And the second is extinct creatures of all shapes
and sizes, including living, breathing dinosaurs, which have replaced
the missing population.</div>

<span id="freeText12493780230404904504">Cassidy St. Claire
still wasn't sure what she'd been hoping to find when she began the
search for her birth parents, but all she’d uncovered was a bunch of
death certificates and one ailing great-uncle who’d finally kicked the
bucket last week. Since Cassidy is the last surviving member of the
family that means his estate, a small seaside bed and breakfast in New
Hampshire, has been left to her. An odd stipulation in his Will requires
that she appear in person to inherit the property. Cassidy isn't very
hopeful that this weekend trip will lead to anything more than a
momentary distraction from her busy life, and an excuse to take her
convertible for a long drive up the coast.<br />She certainly isn't
prepared for Mr. Tall Handsome and Brooding; Ben Riley has been running
the bed and breakfast for the last several years, and he is definitely
less than welcoming. His instant dislike for her is staggering, but his
penetrating green eyes burn with a dangerous mixture of hostility and
attraction.<br />Within days of her arrival an attempt is made on her life
and then another. Suddenly Cassidy finds herself trying to unravel the
mysteries of the past, while outrunning the dangers of the present and
finally turning to the strong, protective arms of Ben Riley and a future
she'd never imagined.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"></span><span style="color: #565555; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I am a born and bred wild child. (Or I like to think so anyway!)</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #565555; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I
moved to sunny Folkestone UK to escape and find my feet as, well
whatever I was destined to be! But alas, my short attention span made
finding that destiny a little difficult! One day I came across a diary
entry that made me laugh so hard; I actually fell off my chair. (Yes,
this can happen!)</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #565555; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #565555; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">I
decided that the entry was so funny; it needed to be shared with the
world! So I started writing, and attempted to turn it into a novel.
Though to this day, that novel remains unfinished, it will always be the
novel that got me started, and showed me what I was passionate about. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #565555; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Honestly?
I have aspired to be everything from a Private Investigator to a Zoo
Keeper with my career; my interests change so quickly that I could never
stick with one! Writing gives me the freedom to choose; I can be a
cold-hearted assassin in love with a poet one day and the secret lesbian
lover of a politician the next!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #565555; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">All
my life, I have had a strong, unwavering passion for anything
supernatural, spiritual and slightly unexplainable, I love the idea that
there can be something completely fantastical lurking beneath the
confines of normality. So of course, mythical creatures of all shapes
and sizes dominate most of my work!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #565555; font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">In
a nutshell, I am a creative crazy bean, living with my lovely husband
and a house full of too many animals! I've always secretly wished I were
a werewolf of some description, but have come to realise that I will
have to settle for writing about them instead! I'm happiest in the sun
with my head in a good book!</span></span></span></div>

<div>
<div style="line-height: 14pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444; text-decoration: none;">Slowly, carefully,
Tam moved. Only an inch as she lowered herself to the ground and, in
one painstaking movement, she knelt before the wolf. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444; text-decoration: none;">Her knife was
clipped to the side of her bra and her hands itched to reach for it,
but she knew it was a bad idea.</span><span style="color: #444444;"> Currently the wolf was showing no
signs of aggression and she didn’t want to spook him again. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444;">As she looked into those beautiful
grey eyes, she saw no anger, no malice. She saw fatigue, pain and confusion.
She could read the emotions behind them like a book. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444;">As she watched him, it seemed as though
he was being as careful as she to move carefully. It was almost as if
it were he who didn’t want to spook her rather than the other way
around. He lowered his back end to the ground, shuffling a little awkwardly
around his back leg. He then proceeded to lie down completely, resting
his head on his paws, keeping his eyes still locked onto hers. It was
as if he’d visibly given up. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444;">Tam slowly edged forward. She must
be absolutely crazy, knowing this was a vicious wild animal and that
it could tear her apart easily. Yet her gut told her the wolf wasn’t
going to hurt her. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444;">She must be going mad. She was going
to end up being that weird woman that was nearly killed by a wild wolf
because she thought she could be friends with it.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #444444;">And yet, this moment, this intense,
terrifying, incredibly special moment, was one she would treasure for
the rest of her life; one she would write about and talk of over and
over again to friends, family and, maybe, one day her children.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
This novel hits the ground running. One minute I'm thinking, "Okay, I'm ready for another Werewolf romance," next I'm submersed in action. <br />
<br />
When I was looking around at other reviews on Amazon and Goodreads the first thing I noticed was that there seems to be a unanimous 5-star rating (at this time). People love this book, not <i>just </i>me.<br />
<br />
The characters are wonderful, the plot is fascinating. Hannah Pole is a strong writer with a great story to tell. <br />
<br />

<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">For twenty year old Maya Simmons, being a
succubus wasn't much of a worry. It was when she needed to fulfill the demon
inside her that annoyed her. The lifestyle of drugs, alcohol and sex wasn't one
she bragged about, especially to the one guy she knew she could never have,
Tristan James.<br />
<br />
Much of Maya's college life consisted of flirting with Tristan, seeing Tristan,
watching Tristan, but never once did she ever attempt to taste the empowering
energy that consisted inside him. She wouldn't dare. It almost helped that he
had a girlfriend.<br />
<br />
But when a threat of Tristan's life comes into play, and a rogue succubus is
out to kill, Maya must play detective with her fellow succubus and incubus,
Melinda and Daniel, before it's too late. Not only does she need to find out
who's killing people, but Maya needs to make sure no one finds out, especially
Tristan, and especially the SIA.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, secrets become too much to handle. And the one thing Maya always
wanted may be within more reach than she thought.<br />
<br />
But it could be too late, because the clock's ticking and the heartbeat's
slowing.</span></span></div>

width="320" /></a>No one really
knows what they're going to be until they actually experiment different things.
I did that, and now I know what I want to be.<br />
<br />
I could say something like, "I've been writing since I was some young
age" but that would be a lie. I have been reading since I was able to
understand the word 'the'. So, it really all started when I read book after
book, and then soon enough I had read so much books that even I was starting to
get sucked into the fictional life.<br />
<br />
On a cloudy day, I decided to write my first novel (I didn't really have
anything else to do). The thing here is that I'm known to have a weird
imagination, and I guess the first time I got told that, was the day I actually
realized that I did. Which led me to putting my weird imagination on paper,
turning it into a novel, and loving the fact that I actually did it. And had
fun with it.<br />
<br />
I was born and raised in New Zealand. (Yes, it's that little country beside
Australia. No, it's not a part of Australia.) I dream big, and have family and
friends that support me with each step I take. I spend a majority of my time
reading, writing, watching Sci-Fi movies (I'm a nerd and proud!), listening to
music, and going on an adventure with my characters (that's my favorite one). I
am also a part-time reviewer on Step Into Fiction (That site totally rocks by
the way.)<br />
<br />
I believe that if you really want it, you can have it. I'm not saying it's
going to be easy because it probably won't be. As for me, I'm excited to go on
this journey and introduce everyone to the imagination that is mine, and weird.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">What type of person should read your book?</span>
</span></span></div>
<br />
I can’t really single out a certain type of person
but anyone who really likes a quick, fun, and romantic stories. It really
depends on people’s preferences. If they like the idea of protagonists
that like to have fun and humor, then I’d suggest it to them. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
How did the idea behind Counterpart develop?</span><br />
<br />
Counterpart was actually an accidental idea that popped
into my head half-way during my writing of another novel. As soon as
the idea of it came, I paused the writing and proceeded to write Counterpart.
After that, the story developed itself.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
How did you prepare for this novel? </span><br />
<br />
I’m not the type of person to plan ahead when it
comes to one book. I can’t stick to my own plan. I have scenes that
play out in my head and I write them in my notebook. Usually, my memory
serves me well during my writing process, so that’s usually how things
go out. Other than that, I like my characters to tell the story. They
end up telling it better than I do.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
Which characters can we expect to see in the next book? </span><br />
<br />
We’ll definitely be seeing a lot of the crew from
Counterpart: Maya, Tristan, Melinda, Daniel, and Ethan. But there will
be more of Noah (Tristan’s best friend) and Jamie (Maya’s roommate).
Plus, Maya will be coming face-to-face with her past.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
Did any pop culture influence this story directly?</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span>Not directly, but parts of the story were influenced by how society
is today, well, how I see it.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
If some unforeseen circumstances were destroying literature, which book
would you save?</span><br />
<br />
Does my book count? I don’t think there’s any
other book that I love more than my own. Haha.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
What are you reading?</span><br />
<br />
At this very moment, I’m not reading anything. But
I did just finish the Elemental series (the ones that are out) by Brigid
Kemmerer, and I love them.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
Tell us 3 things that we should know about you.</span><br />
<br />
1. I am a sucker for chocolate, cheese, and gelato
(not together).<br />
2. I am not a sucker for chick-flicks or sappy romances.
I tend to like a lot of… non-sappy moments. I’m more of an action/comedy
girl.<br />
3. If I’m not writing, I’m playing video games.
It’s a reality that I’ve become accustomed too.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
What are you currently working on?</span><br />
<br />
I am currently working on another book that is paranormal/new
adult and not a part of the SIA series, but I’m adding a lot more
fantasy in this one. A lot of my imagination is going to into this.<br />

Lars Kelsen doesn’t believe in
psychic phenomenon. To him, visions of murder victims are a
form of mental illness. Once they begin, options are limited;
he can try to ignore them or deal with them by exposing a
killer. Only the latter provides any semblance of peace.
Temporarily, anyway. Five years into his new life as a
programmer, Kelsen—ex-crime beat reporter with a penance he
can never fully satisfy—sees a victim.<br />
<br />
In person. Upright. Staring.<br />
<br />
Typical of such past "Visits" as he calls them, he doesn’t
welcome this one. The nude form of a beautiful millionairess
in his cubicle means murder has come to the vacation haven
known as North Carolina’s Outer Banks. It means he’ll have to
go places he'd rather avoid. See things he'll wish he hadn’t.
Do things that don't come naturally, like in-your-face
confrontation and bending the law. Actually, breaking the law
... but with good intent. It also means dealing with one very
attractive county coroner, who pushes his buttons in a not
entirely unwelcome way.<br />
<br />
So begins Kelsen's return to investigative reporting—complete
with attempts on his life, fights, deception, and all the
technological tricks, such as GPS and computer hacking, at his
disposal. And maybe even finding a new love interest.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
John A. Karr is one of those hidden gems that stayed of my raider until I started my review blog. He is one of the - relatively few - <b> </b>authors that are <i>worth </i>promoting to a larger crowd. That <i>need </i>promoting. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ghostly Summons is <i>well </i>written. There's a lot of stories out there with clever concepts and poor delivery (or vice-verse). It's <i>hard </i>to find authors that are both talented and write well-developed, interesting books. Especially in a society where people like Snooki make it as a bestselling author (shame on anyone who supported this). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The concept of six-sense with the character development akin to Stephen King. His characters are gritty, realistic, and seat-gripping. His plot is well-paced, well-informed, and worth the several hours you take to enter his fictional world. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I read this book over the space of two-days. I found it haunting, gritty, and wonderful.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will tell you readers, that John A. Karr is ending up in my library. </div>

<div>
Peaches Monroe, age 22, is the sassy, plus-sized manager <span class="il">of</span> a bookstore in the small town <span class="il">of</span> Beaverdale, Washington.<br />
<br />
One
Saturday afternoon, she's balancing precariously on a chair, in
a bridesmaid dress, when a handsome dark-haired man comes running into
the bookstore. He knocks Peaches over, she lands in his muscular arms.
They lock gazes, and ...<br />
<br />
She recognizes him.<br />

As the sexy vampire heartthrob she watches on TV every week.<br />
<br />
Peaches and Dalton Deangelo <span class="il">are</span>
completely wrong for each other. He's only in town temporarily, working
on an indie movie. She should stay away. He should stay away, too.<br />

AUTHOR BIO</div>
<div>
Mimi Strong writes chick-lit, erotic romance, sex comedy, and new adult contemporary romance. Most <span class="il">of</span> her characters have a strong sense <span class="il">of</span> humor.<br />
<br />
Here's what she has to say:<br />
<br />
I've always had a lot <span class="il">of</span> sides. Sometimes I'm vulnerable, and sometimes I go after what I want without a single doubt.<br />
<br />
My favorite person is my husband. If I can crack him up and see his eyes crinkle at the corners, my day is <span class="il">made</span>. In fact, I love making everyone around me laugh.<br />
<br />
I've always enjoyed empowering stories about kick-butt women who don't hold back and the awesome men who <span class="il">are</span> smart enough to love them. Now that I'm writing these stories, I couldn't be happier. I hope you enjoy them too!</div>

Q.
Is sexy, smooth Dalton Deangelo based on a certain real actor who plays
a vampire on TV?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
A.
Yes and no. It's based on the mile-high girlie crush one of my friends
has on the actor Ian Somerhalder, and the hypnotic hold he seems to
have on this grown, married woman, much to my amusement! She blushes
when she talks about him.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
Q.
Where did the idea for We are Made of Stardust come from?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
A.
My favorite romantic movie is Notting Hill, and I think any of us who've
worked a retail job have fantasized about our favorite actor walking
through the door! I think this story has been in my head for years.
Most people would get so nervous, they wouldn't even speak to the actor,
so I needed a girl who could hold her own and then some. Along came
Peaches. She doesn't see herself as a fun girl, but oh boy is she fun.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
Q.
How long does it take you to write a novel?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
A.
I wish I was one of those speedy authors who can write a full-length
novel in one week, but it takes me about 5 weeks to complete a first
draft of something as long and involved as We are Made of Stardust.
Then I still have to do research and editing. I think the second novel
in the series will go faster, as I know the characters better. I'm always
working hard so my readers don't have to wait long.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
Q.
What kind of music do you listen to when you write?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
A.
The band that lives below me. But! Not anymore, because I've just moved.
Me, Mr. Strong, and our two handsome kitties are now in a quieter neighborhood.
Actually, <span style="font-style: italic;">We
are Made of Stardust</span> is the reason we moved. All that writing
about quaint, quiet small town life in Beaverdale gave me a ferocious
craving to move. So, in the middle of writing the book, we gave notice
and started looking for a new place! I uploaded the book to Amazon about
8 hours before the movers showed up.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
Q.
Is the Peaches Monroe series going to be long? Is it a love triangle?
Will every book end on a brutal cliffhanger?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
A.
I've never written a long, multi-book series. I hope that you readers
will guide me. Please post reviews and talk about the book. Tell me
what you'd like to see happen. I have some big, big plans, but nothing
is locked in until it's published.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
Q.
Why do you self-publish?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
A.
I started self-publishing in 2011 when I couldn't find a publisher for
my first novel, Charlie. (Written under my YA pen name, Dalya Moon.)
That's when I first discovered the amazing indie community, with book
bloggers and other fun authors such as the folks who hang out in the
Kboards' Writers' Cafe. From then, there was no stopping me! Stardust
is book #15 for me, and I'm having a lot of fun. Oh, it's stressful
at times, and there are low moments, but those times are when you find
out what you're made of. I think what keeps me grounded are the great
friends I've made, and giving back to the indie community. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
Q.
Thong or granny panties?</div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
A.
I like a little coverage, but not so much that it sticks out above the
waistband of my jeans.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Q. When people
find out you write erotic romance, do they treat you like a freak?</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">A. Yes, but the
cool people treat you like the right kind of freak. People already think
I'm weird that I self-publish. Actually, most random acquainta</span>nces
find the topic quite dull until I mention I write dirty billionaire
stuff, which is why I usually keep it under my hat. It's hard for
me to really cut loose if I'm thinking about people reading the books.<br />

1. What inspired you to write <span class="il">Motocross</span> <span class="il">Me</span>?<br />
I spend a lot of time at a <span class="il">motocross</span>
track, and it felt like a great setting for a contemporary romance.
Plus there's just not enough books about hot dirt bike guys. <br />
<div class="im">
<br />
2. What part of this novel was most challenging for you?</div>
Nothing really comes to mind..this book was the second-most easy book I've ever written. Everything just kind of came to <span class="il">me</span> and I wrote it without an outline. But don't get <span class="il">me</span> wrong - MOST books I write aren't like this at all. Most of the time I'm pulling my hair out and questioning my own existence.<br />
<div class="im">
<br />
<br />
3. Describe this book in 5 or less words.</div>
Nice guys DON'T finish last. :)<br />
<div class="im">
<br />
<br />
4. Do you have any writer quirks - such as eating an apple - before you can start writing?</div>
As long as I have a hot cup of coffee and I'm wearing a comfortable pair of yoga pants, I can write anytime, anywhere.<br />
<div class="im">
<br />
<br />
5. What are you working on now?</div>
I'm branching into NA and
writing a romance between two deeply faulted and screwed up people. It's
called Not Your Fault, and I'm hoping to have it out in September. <br />
<div class="im">
<br />
6. What book(s) inspired you to be a writer?</div>
The Fear Street series by RL Stine. I must have read every single one as a kid, and it inspired <span class="il">me</span> to be both a reader and a writer. Funny though, because I don't write horror and I don't think I ever will.<br />
<div class="im">
<br />
<br />
7. There's no doubt both Ash and Ryan have some appealing, sexy characteristics. Were they inspired by anything/anyone?</div>
Ryan is a generic-ish sexy <span class="il">motocross</span> guy. He embodies a ton of guys you'll see hanging out at any <span class="il">motocross</span>
track. Ash was inspired by Jason Castro...I wrote this book shortly
after watching him on American Idol and the dreadlocks really got to <span class="il">me</span>.<br />
<div class="im">
<br />
<br />
8. What is one piece of advice you would give to aspiring authors?</div>
Don't compare yourself to others. I can't stress that enough. Just do your thing and be happy about who you are. <br />
<div class="im">
<br />
9. What are 3 things you wish your readers knew about you?</div>
*I have a superhero trilogy releasing in November and a paranormal
romance coming out next year. So if contemporary books aren't your
thing, still keep <span class="il">me</span> on your radar!<br />
*I turned down a couple literary agents in order to pursue indie publishing. I'm still hoping this was the right choice.<br />
*I always appreciate photos of Norman Reedus, so... if you ever wanna tweet <span class="il">me</span> some... <br />
<div class="im">
<br />
10. What are you currently reading?</div>
I'm
reading Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler. I've been a huge fan of this
author since I first read Twenty Boy Summer, and now I'll happily grab
anything she writes. She's a beautiful writer.</div>

Different eyes and skin
Mock me from the mirror’s light
Enemy am I.
Dec 7, 1941
Today my life changed forever . . . I am no longer considered American, but by shear heritage I am now the hated enemy . . .
The lives of Kenji and Aiko Onishi and their American-born children are about to unravel when the United States is thrust into war with Japan. Confronted by insurmountable prejudice and fear, the family is ripped from their California home without just cause by the American government and sent to an assembly center “for their own protection.”
Forced to live in deplorable circumstances, every aspect of their lives regulated and controlled, the Onishi’s freedoms are stripped from their grasp as they struggle to survive behind barbed wire. It isn’t long before the mind-numbing confinement and feelings of helplessness begin to pit the family against one another.
When sent to a relocation camp in the center of the Utah desert, they’re beset by ever increasing emotional and physical challenges, and Aiko is faced with her greatest yet: to mend the broken spirits of her family, or risk losing them forever.
Based on true and tragic events that transpired during World War II, Rising Sun, Falling Star is a heart-rending story of one family’s struggle to survive uncalculated loss and emotional destruction.<br />
