<div style="text-align: center;">
Every choice has a consequence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe in soul mates. Why? Because I have one and his name is Jax Porter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have known Jax my whole life and I have loved him with every breath I’ve ever taken. The fact that we were born a mere month apart to mothers that are best friends has made us inseparable since birth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What we have is so rare, one would think our story would be written, our fate sealed. But, unfortunately that’s not how life works. Life offers us many choices that can turn destiny into chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I now find myself heading toward a destination that I could have never imagined and I have to figure out where to go from here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will the choices that have been made change our path forever or will fate find its way?</div>

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><!--[endif]--><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">In the cool darkness of the semi-crowded </span>bar, I study the glass in front of me and consider my journey. Memories of my old life fade like smoke in a glass. The shame that held me so tightly now dances at the edges of my mind like the whisper of a bad dream, a flicker of shadows that no longer make sense in my world.<br />
<br />
Young women in their shiny slip dresses twist and laugh on the dance floor, but instead of resentment, my lips melt into a smile. My old self—cynical, bitter, defeated—is a memory I have to work to recall. These days I could dance all night with them, but I’d rather spend my energy on other activities.<br />
<br />
The slim glass holds a pale amber liquid, and I can’t resist taking a sip. An involuntary wince pinches my eyes as I put it down. Seven and seven. Refreshing citrus dragged down by the heavy undertone of whiskey. So gross. <br />
<br />
Sliding my palms over my thighs, I realize my outfit isn’t much different from those girls on the dance floor. The deep red silk is fitted at my waist, and drapes loosely over my torso. My long dark hair is swept over one shoulder revealing a thin spaghetti strap. I lightly touch the delicate gold chain around my neck leading to the floating heart pendant that sits between my collarbones, and light glances off the thick gold cuff on my wrist. <br />
<br />
Unlike that first night, I’m alone here. My best friend Elaine is miles away with her new husband, most likely indulging in that blissful honeymoon period of early marriage. Make that, most certainly indulging. I know those two very well.<br />
<br />
I came by myself to the bar in Princeton after finishing my business with a client in town. My infant son is back in Wilmington, spending the weekend with his grandmother. Studying my hands, I admire the deep blue sapphire ring on my finger, but I have no wedding band.<br />
<br />
At thirty-two, I’m an unmarried mother of a beautiful little boy, and I wouldn’t change a thing… Yet. The tiny silver scar at my hairline reminds me of what a bad marriage is, and with my successful marketing business and the gorgeous cottage at the beach that I own, I’m satisfied with my life, calm. Not desperate. I’ll take my next steps deliberately, with confidence.<br />
<br />
All these thoughts preoccupy my mind when I blink up and catch him watching me from across the square-shaped bar. Blue eyes, strikingly blue because of the way they stand out beneath his dark brow, coupled with collar-length thick dark hair.<br />
<br />
He’s massive, at least six-two, and elegantly dressed with a thick stainless watch on his wrist. I can spot his type a mile away—rich, powerful, accustomed to getting whatever he wants… I know what he wants. A smile teases at the corner of my mouth. No coincidence I happened to look up at that exact moment to catch his gaze.<br />
<br />
He starts to move, but his eyes never leave mine. I don’t look away either. I also know what I want. Thick cords of muscle ripple beneath the thin black sweater he wears as he glides past the oblivious patrons talking and laughing. Some are more animated than others, waving their arms and putting their drinks in peril. A close beard shadows his face, and the muscles low in my pelvis tighten at the thought of how it will feel brushing the soft skin of my inner thighs...<o:p></o:p><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chapter 1<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lost
in thought, Abe ran a loving hand over Ariana's swelling belly, then grinned
when she stirred from sleep and blinked lazily up at him. Wrapping his mind
around that – not only had she been his wife for over three months, but was
also carrying his child – was too much of a dream come true, one he never wanted
to wake up from.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Good
afternoon, Mrs. Cambridge. It's fifteen after one."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nuzzling
closer to him, Ariana yawned and let her eyes drift shut. "Five more
minutes."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
snickered against her hair and then kissed her forehead. "Take all the
time you need, baby, but I have a feeling Becky and Janie will—"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Quick
and persistent tapping on the chamber door cut off his words and had him
rolling his eyes in irritation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"—knock
on the door soon," he finished through a clenched jaw, his mood swiftly
turning sour at the lack of private time the island's residents allowed him to
have with his wife. "I can kill them, you know. Nobody will find their
bodies. I swear it. Did I ever tell you that I'm a shark whisperer?"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ariana
giggled as she pushed against his body, and when he tried to grab her, she
threw a pillow in his face and scrambled out of bed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
fell back to his own pillow, defeated. "We are going on vacation. No cell
phones. No knocks on the door—unless it's room service—and, best of all, no
distractions."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Laughing
as she opened the door, Ariana greeted her friends with a hug and took the
coffee Janie held out with a sigh and a gracious smile. "I love both of
you so much."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Abe
huffed as he glared at them. "You just saw them yesterday. And you don't
need that caffeine; it's bad for the baby."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ariana
took a long sip and winced as the heat bit her tongue. "The only thing
that's bad for the baby is my blood pressure going up when his or her father
fusses over me too much."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Abe
blanched, and started to throw back the comforter to go to her, but thought
better of it once he caught sight of Becky and Janie looking at him. Unlike
Ariana, he hadn't dressed after making love the night before.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
exhaled in relief as he studied the growing smirk on his wife's face. She was
the only one who could, quite literally, drop him to his knees with only a few
words. He kept waiting for the spell she had him under to wear off, but with
each day that passed, he had only grown more mesmerized by her charm.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Abe
raised an eyebrow. "Come here, devil woman."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Abe,"
Becky said, laughing. "There's no time—er… take all the time you need,
Your Highness," she said quickly, when his mouth flattened into a thin
line and his teal eyes locked on her, daring her to say one… more… word.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
would burn that damn clinic to the ground before he would allow anyone to take
even one more minute with her away from him. She already worked too many hours
as it was. It had started out being only five, but then had swiftly moved up to
six, then seven. He had drawn a line at eight, but, more times than not, Ariana
stayed at the clinic up to ten hours, even against his wishes and constant
phone calls.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
tore his piercing eyes away from Becky and they softened as he met Ariana's
smile.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She
set the cup down and crawled up on the mattress and into his awaiting arms. She
stared into his eyes as her fingers brushed back the hair hanging over his
ears, reminding him it was time for a trim. That would take all of fifteen
minutes, so what would he do with the other four-hundred-sixty-five minutes she
would be out of his sight?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
had some ass-chewing to do, that's what, and he was going to do that first.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I'll
be back before you know it, Abe," she said sweetly, almost convincingly,
but he knew better; she'd been telling him that every day since she’d started
working, and it had never, ever been true.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Even
though he knew arguing would get him absolutely nowhere, he still pleaded his
case. "Stay here," he whispered. "Take the day off. I could use
a little healing myself." He grinned devilishly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
only answer he got was a small smile and a long kiss. Abe wrapped his arms
around her and pulled her across his body, rolling with her until she was lying
on her back and he was looking down at her beautiful face.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
knew she wouldn't concede to his wishes today, but that wouldn't stop him from
trying. He had faith that one day she would.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Sunset,
Ariana. Please. I have something I want to show you."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She
laughed. "I just bet you do."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
tucked a strand of blond hair behind her ear and softly kissed her lips.
Lingering a breath away, he spoke so only she could hear. "It's sort of
important and special. It's been in the works for several years, but it's almost
complete now. I didn't want to mention it until Roger said you could see it. He
sent me a text last night, but you were too exhausted after work, so I didn't
say anything. I don't think I can keep from telling you what it is until your
next day off, so please don't overwork yourself today, and try to get out of
there by eight." He paused for a moment. "And eat light for supper;
I'm taking you out afterward."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ariana's
eyes narrowed to thin slits, but there was amusement in them that she couldn't
hide behind her fake anger. "You know how much I hate surprises."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Abe
knew she could have searched his thoughts in one instant, so he quickly rifled
through his memory for the lyrics of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mary
Had A Little Lamb</i>, just in case. Mindreading was one witchy trait that
could be both a blessing and a curse, but thankfully Ariana tried not to use it
too often. For that, he was grateful. It was bad enough that he couldn’t keep
his hands off his wife for more than five minutes. Keeping his thoughts off her
would be downright impossible.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He kissed
her quick and moved away, so she could get up and ready for work. The quicker
she left, the quicker he could let out his aggression on someone who couldn't
paralyze his vocal chords. "You'll like this one. I promise it won't
embarrass you."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Can
we come?" Janie asked, the petite girl nearly jumping up and down at
hearing about something new and exciting on the island.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Abe
chuckled. "Yeah, you can come. Bring someone, if you like," he said,
knowing that Janie had been spending quite a bit of time lately with Ryan from
maintenance, and would more than likely want to bring him along. It was killing
Lance to see her with the guy, but since he had been the one who let her go,
there wasn't a whole hell of a lot he could do about it but mope.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Who
else is going?" Becky asked with a sneer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Abe
shrugged nonchalantly, but he knew she was inquiring whether Will, his brother,
was going to be there, and possibly be with Katrista, the girl who had flown to
the island on the back of a minion from Hell under the orders of Apollyon, the
demon who damn near took Ariana away from him in more than one way.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Just
thinking about that night made him want to wrap Ariana in the tight cocoon of
his arms and never let her out of his sight, but that had been almost three
months ago, and they hadn't seen or heard from the guy since his descent back
into Hell. Gloria, their personal guardian angel, was checking in on a regular
basis, but she hadn't sensed any evil hanging around the island, either. It was
still a struggle to relax, but Abe knew how Ariana hated to be smothered, so he
forced his worry from his features, for her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I'm
not sure, Becky, but if you think I'm going to tell my brother he can't go just
because you'll be there, then you don't know me very well." He ignored the
hurt look in her eyes and slapped Ariana's butt when she crawled over him to
get out of bed. He chuckled when she yelped.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After
hearing the shower come on, he looked back to the two girls standing in the
middle of his bedroom. "Would the two of you mind leaving? I'm about to go
shower with my wife, and Ariana threw my boxers across the room last night."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
smiled as the two girls immediately avoided eye contact, their faces turning a
bright shade of pink in embarrassment at being in the same room with their
naked king.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Go
on. Ariana will call you when she's ready to leave. I can't promise you'll be
on time for work, so you may want to leave without her." He stopped and
huffed when they only stood there with sullen expressions. "What? She
isn't yours; she's mine. Go!"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tripping
over their feet, both girls turned and ran for the door.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With
a smile on his face, Abe threw back the cover and jogged to the bathroom. He
could only see the top of Ariana's wet head, leaned back into the steamy shower
spray, eyes closed as she basked in the warmth of the water. He tiptoed around
the tiled wall that separated the shower from the rest of the bathroom, and had
her in his arms before she even opened her eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ariana
smiled as he touched his lips to hers, and Abe noticed that he couldn't fit his
body flush to hers any longer, not with his young growing so rapidly within her
womb.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
ran one hand over the soft skin of her belly and pulled her mouth to his with
his other by the nape of her neck. A low moan escaped her mouth and he drank in
the ecstasy like a wino who had just found a forgotten bottle of
eighty-year-old wine in the cellar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She
gasped for air when he released her mouth to devour her neck and that little
spot below her ear she loved for him to kiss.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Abe,"
she panted. "I'm going to be late for work."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">An
approving growl rumbled from his chest as her hands slid down to his hips.
"Damn right, you are. I told Becky and Janie to go on without you, that
you would be there when you damn well got there."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">She
laughed against his mouth when he claimed ownership once again. "You are
such a king."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lowering
his head to explore more of what she had to offer him, he looked from one
tempting mound to the other, and finally decided to take the left rosy nub
between his lips and softly massage the other with his hand. Decisions,
decisions. It was a tough job being a man in love. He often thought he needed
at least one extra mouth. Wondering vaguely whether Ariana might be able to
witch it on his body, somewhere, he focused on the task in hand.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ariana's
lips parted, and he smiled when a rush of pleasurable sounds echoed off the
walls of the bathroom.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">With
his other hand free, he ran his long fingers over the cheek of her ass, down
the back of her thigh and pulled her right knee up to his hip. He wasn't
worried about her getting off balance and falling. He had her. He had all of
her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">His
head jerked up and he crushed his mouth on hers just as he slid through the
soft folds of her sex and into his most favorite place to be.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">His
jaw clamped shut and his hand shot out to brace them against the shower wall
when her muscles tightened around his erection. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Yeeees!"
The cry escaped her throat and her nails clawed the skin on his back, but he
pumped into her, keeping a steady rhythm and watching her expression as the
orgasm threatened to rip through her body. "Abe…" she said, winded,
and grabbed his biceps, squeezing the thick muscles and making him grin,
"I—I need…"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"I
know, baby. Just let it go." He jerked his hand from the wall, pulling her
other leg up, and just like a pro, she hooked her ankles at the small of his back
and took all of him. His knees damn near buckled.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Aiming
to get his own release by the time Ariana's climax was over, Abe growled and
quickened his strides. Her body quaked all around him. He was almost there. He
was there.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Take
my vein," Ariana whispered.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Pulling
a bit back from the rush, he blinked the water out of his eyes and looked down
at her in confusion. Sure enough, her head was tilted to the side and her wet
hair was moved away, baring her neck and that throbbing vein to him. He jerked
his head away, trying to ignore the instant bloodlust and the anger that was
quickly boiling up inside him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"No,"
he said shortly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Abe,
please. You need it. I want you to."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
stopped moving inside her and set her feet on the wet tile. Grabbing a towel
from the hook on the wall, he threw it around his waist, tying it extra tight,
so just maybe it would cut off the circulation in his erection and deflate the
damn thing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Abe!
Where are you going?"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Not
now, Ariana." He threw open the bathroom door and walked into the bedroom,
and wasn't a bit surprised to hear she had followed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"What
did I do? I don't understand why you're acting this way. Talk to me, damn
you!" she shouted when he only stood at his closet and shoved hanger after
hanger to the right. Hell, he wasn't even sure what he was looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
stopped and let his arm fall, but didn't turn around. "You know how I feel
about using you as a meeker while you're pregnant. We've had this discussion
before, Ariana. Hell, we've even fought about it a few times, but you don't
seem to understand or maybe you just don't care; I don't know—"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"You
think that I don't care about my child?" she said, and Abe turned around,
the muscles in his jaw doing the same workout they did every time their
conversation led to him feeding from her. "How can you even say
that?" she snapped. "If I felt, in any way, that you taking the
amount of blood from me that you need would hurt the baby, I wouldn't ask you
to do it." She pointed to her chest, and fury burned throughout Abe's bones.
"I know it won't hurt the baby—"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"But
I don't!" he roared, causing her to flinch. He shook his head and reached
into the closet, grabbing a random shirt and a pair of jeans. When he looked
back at her, he was a little calmer, but not much. "I don't know what is
good or what is bad for the baby, Ariana, but I can't imagine taking anything
from you that the baby needs could ever be a good thing. I won't do it."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He
ripped the towel away, and to his delight, either the terrycloth or his pissy
mood had done the job, because Mr. Happy wasn't so happy anymore. Without
wasting time going to the dresser for boxers, he just shoved one leg at a time
in the jeans then buttoned and zipped the fly. After throwing the shirt over
his head and pushing his arms through the armholes, Abe finally made his way to
the dresser to grab socks.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Abe,"
Ariana whispered, but he didn't look at her. He couldn't look at her when he
was this mad, especially when it was her that he was mad at. "Abe, look at
me. I have to go to work, and I don't want to leave you upset." He still
didn't say anything.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Abe
put his socks on and located his boots by the bar. Tying the sons of bitches
wasn't going to happen with his hands shaking so badly, so he just shoved his
feet in, grabbed his keys from the bar and headed for the door.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Abe!
Where are you going? The sun is out!"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">"Go
to work, Ariana. I'll see you later."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He jerked
open the door, then slammed it shut behind him.</span></span></div>

My review of Eternal Illusion (Eternal Island book 3) by K S Haigwood<br />I give this book 5 stars</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
This time around Ariana, Abe and the whole group have to deal with a threat that has made it onto the island with intent to destroy its entire way of life. Karista is the only person that might hold the key to saving them.<br />Yet another amazing book by the talented K.S. Haigwood! I couldn't wait to get back to the island with this book. I was sucked up in the world of Eternal Island all over. With all the new additions (characters as well as fancy new spas!) make this one of my favorite books. I found myself wanting to reread the whole series again just to get even more sucked into the story. The characters get more intricate and the relationships get more complicated as the books get added. Birth, death, love and hate, the roller coaster ride just keeps getting better and better! The only thing I still need is my own boat or plane so I can get to the island myself. Eternal Illusion has and will continue to be recommended to all my friends. I love this book, I love this series and I LOVE THIS AUTHOR! Give me more!</div>

<span lang="EN"><br />
I was raised in Southern California. I was 18 when I joined the United States Navy. I was given an Honorable Discharge for Medical reasons, ending my Military Career. I ended up in Law Enforcement, first in Nevada, then in Arizona, where I was forced to cut my career short, yet again. After surgery and a couple of years, I was forced to change Careers and start over, once again. This time I chose Photography, because of the Joy it brings me. However, my medical problems limit what I can do. So, I decided to follow my dream of becoming an author. The Kiyor'lin Series is my baby. Book 1 is Shad'rah. Book 2 is Hatchburrow (currently a work in progress). Between my photography and my writing, my life is almost complete.</span><br />

This is an exciting, old-fashioned fantasy tale with great characters you'll love.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>INTERVIEW:</strong><br />
1) What inspired you to write your first book? – My mother.<br />
<br />
2) How did you come up with the title for each book? – Scrabble Tiles pulled from a bag to get Shad’rah<br />

4) Are the experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life? Some of the characters are…Shibi, Dahviesh and, of course, Draganos.<br />
<br />
5) What books have influenced your life the most? All of them. At least all the ones I’ve read.<br />
<br />
6) If you had to choose, which writer would consider a mentor? I would love it if I were to be mentored by Terry Brooks.<br />
<br />
7) What book are you reading now? The one I’m writing. <br />

Still, it took awhile for me to start her more mature paranormal romance Whisper Cape series. That is one of Kerry's favorite series and she nagged me into starting. I'm kicking myself that I took so long to read them! <br />
Don't live with regret, grab them NOW! At least the first one, Whisper Cape. It's free. look for the link below.<br />

<span lang="EN">I daydream often. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play--a dreadful disaster; though not from my writing, of course, I must blame it on the acting. The craft of writing, although dormant for years, never really left me. Many years later, and with the help of technology, I let my imagination run wild again. Born in a small town in Pennsylvania, I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns. I tend to lean toward the unusual and spooky. I read all genres but I love reading paranormal romance and like writing in that genre. My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running. I live in Northern California with my very romantic husband, my small yippy dog, Riley, and my humungous black cat, Saké. My family consists of his and her children; four wonderful sons, one beautiful daughter, and seven grandchildren. My greatest love in life is my family and those large and ever growing holiday dinners. I enjoy traveling. I hate running, but do it once in a while. Reading and writing are my favorite pastimes.<br />

Ravenz Reviews ~ What made you decide to become an author? Do you include real people as characters in your books? Did you ever fall off a skateboard and break your collarbone? What non-book related hobbies do you have?<br />
<br />
<br />
Susan ~ I didn't fall off a skateboard and break my collarbone, but I did fracture my tibia and fibula bones in my left leg during a soccer game. I was forty-two years old, just gone through a divorce and my ex-husband was the opposing team's goalie. I was playing center forward and wanted to score so badly. My teammates wanted me to score too. Jose passed the ball to me, but it stopped short of where I was and I had to turn and back step to grab it. The grass was high and needed to be cut, My cleat caught in the grass and snap! Broke my poor leg in half right above the ankle. Doctors didn't think I would walk again. But then came in Doctor Miracle, who performed surgery, and hammered an 18 inch titanium rod down the center of my tibia. He had to move my knee cap over in order to do it. I still have the scar. I also still have the titanium rod and screws, but I am walking, with a limp, but walking and running sometimes. I can't skip anymore, but hey, but that's okay. Oh and I'm also a quarter inch shorter on my left side. <br />
<br />
After my divorce, I managed a cellphone store for ten years, a job requiring me to be on my feet for eight hours everyday. Yes, this was during one of the years that I broke my leg. I was in a cast up to my hip for two weeks before the surgery and in a shorter cast for 6 months. But the good news is, I married my boss and we sold those stores. These day, I can't stand on my feet for more then a couple of hours or my feet and legs hurt, so writing is a much better job for me. <br />
<br />
Sounds like a good premise for a great contemporary, right? Maybe someday. <br />
<br />
Speaking of ideas and characters, I have been known to use real people in my stories. I've used names from my family, and sometimes just the personality or face of a celebrity as a muse, like Gerard Butler was my inspiration for Gerry in The Whisper Cape Trilogy. You never know, you might just find yourself in one of my books someday. <br />
<br />
A personal request: If you have read and enjoyed one (or all) of my books, and would be so kind, please leave a short review saying so on the site where you purchased it. Multiple good reviews and word-of-mouth are the lifeblood of Indie authors like me. Thanks in advance and Bless you.<br />

Johnson<br /><br />She is the lovely author who's epic saga defies categorization into one genre. Each book tells a different part of the story with a different focus, but it is best if they are read in order. Each volume contains a recap of earlier works. You can get the first three books together at a discount to help you catch up with the series.<br /><br /><br />I live in Tampa, Florida with my husband, James. Both he and my father are retired from the Navy and, while my hubby is still working, my father has retired again. We have no children and I am often at my parents' house to help them out. <br /><br />I began writing Tales of the Fifth Guardian in July of 2009, it was not the first time I began writing the series but it was the most successful. I began self-publishing in January of 2012 while I was still teaching which is why I write under C.M. Johnson instead of my full name. I simply told the students I wrote under a pen name I would not tell them and they never thought to look for me that way. As much as I loved working with the children, it soon became evident that my life was taking a different path and I left education in August of 2013 to pursue my Master's in Accounting while writing in my free time. My goal is to eventually work from home so I have the freedom to be creative when I need it.<br /><br /><br />What was your favorite book when you were a child and how do you think it influences what you like to read and write today?<br /> <br /><br />I've always been a reader, often of everything and anything I could get my hands on and re-read whenever necessary but I never truly had a favorite "book". My grandmother bought me my first Nancy Drew mystery for my seventh birthday and my favorite school event was always the bookfair. The book series I re-read the most growing up was V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic series her standalone My Sweet Audrina. I've always been a multi-genre reader with a leaning toward the supernatural and paranormal, which is probably the largest influence on my writing as I often describe the series as mulit-genre - "An adult romantic fantasy adventure series with paranormal aspects."<br /> <br />If you could spend the day with any author, who would you choose and what would you do?<br /><br />There are so many authors I've enjoyed and would love to spend a day just chatting with: From two of my childhood heroes who wrote about their challenges: Helen Keller and Corrie Ten Boom to those whose books have entertained me: Carolyn Keene, V.C. Andrews, Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, and Anne Rice.<br />

<br /><br /> What was the inspiration behind your book series and what do you do to keep that inspiration?<br /><br /> Tales of the Fifth Guardian is based on the question: What if the descendents of the survivors of Atlantis lived among us in modern times with all the Power and Abilities of their ancestors?<br /><br /> It developed out of the superhero games I played on the playground growing up, after I began to wonder how those same abilities might develop naturally on Earth. The answer came to me when I began to study mythology and heard the legends of Atlantis. In the history of the People, and that is all they have ever been called, their name for the island, Otland Iis, was misunderstood when the first guardian lead them to begin trading off-island. They were not from outer space as some of the legends posit, instead, they simply evolved differently in their isolated society. They have a variety of psychic abilities and elemental powers that set them apart from the regular humans that live in the cities around them. The series is about Kerrisha, the Fifth Knowledge Guardian of the People of Otland Iis, it is her duty to reunite the six clans that were separated and have been at war since the time of the Fourth Guardian. The problem is that she is too young and it has been too long since the time of the Fourth Guardian and the Guardians have become myth and legend to the people so she often has to prove herself. <br />

<br />
<span lang="EN">In Tales of the Fifth Guardian, you will discover an ever-increasing cast of characters, venues, abilities, and challenges. I've created a new language for the characters to use for spells, titles, and formal situations. You'll find a new version of the Otlantesha Dictionary at the back of each volume to help you in your reading. Tales of the Fifth Guardian is written in a journal format and told in the first/third perspective of the main characters and some of the secondary characters - each speaker is clearly delineated at the beginning of their sections. The covers reflect the journal format: black with an emblem from that volume in the center. There are scenes of violence, rape, mental and physical abuse, and torture throughout the series but there is also a story of Power-chosen mates with a deep love that can overcome everything. My main character is also a kick-butt warrior queen that fights back when she's attacked. The beginning of the series has more darkness with lighter sweeter intimate scenes but the later books are less dark with more intense intimate scenes, including multiple partners. Which is perhaps how I keep my inspiration throughout the series - everything is always changing. <br />

<br />
<span lang="EN">1) What inspired you to write your first book?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">The story has been with me since I was a child (obviously the adult parts came later) and I have started writing it a number of times. Finally, in July of 2009, I was successful in continuing and Tales of the Fifth Guardian was off and running.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
2) How did you come up with the title for each book?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">I dread reading series that are unnumbered and hard to keep in order so each one has the volume number as part of the title and then, usually, one word that describes the main event of that volume. The only exceptions to the one word title are: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book One: The Beginning and the one short story available so far: Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book 7.5: Stolen Heirs which is also the only one with a numeric volume descriptor.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
3) Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">It’s not so much a message as a theme: Love at first sight can be real, a strong love can stand up to any challenge, and it’s important to accept love in its many forms.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
4) Are the experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">No</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
5) What books have influenced your life the most?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">I have always been a voracious reader so to pin down just one or two books or even series as the most influential is nearly impossible.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
6) If you had to choose, which writer would consider a mentor?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Probably V.C. Andrews; I remember seeing Flowers in the Attic on the checkout stands as a child and then that was the first “Adult” themed series I purchased with my babysitting money when I was 14. I have lost track of the number of times I read the series. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
7) What book are you reading now?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">I am not currently reading a book right now because I am revising the next book in my series. However, my next planned reads are: Backstage by AM Madden and Letting Go of Us by JM Witt. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
8) Are there any new authors that have grabbed your attention?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">In the last year and a half since I found the online Indie community there have been a few to catch my attention: A.D. Justice, AM Madden, and JM Witt are just a few that I have begun reading.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
9) What are your current projects?<br />
<span style="color: #660066;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">I am currently preparing Tales of the Fifth Guardian; Book Eight: Demon for its coming release and updating some of the earlier volumes. <br />
</span>
<br />
10) If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your books?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Yes and no, I’m in the process of updating some of the earlier volumes and I have tweaked a couple of the covers to brighten them up (Book One has been completed and Book Two is coming soon) but, other than that, I can’t think of anything else I would change.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
11) Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">I have almost always written; free-verse poetry has been a way for me to express my feelings for as long as I can remember and I had two pieces in a collection of writings from my elementary school. I eventually branched into creative writing and was pleasantly surprised by my English professor in college when I was asked to explain my writing process and give tips to some of the other students. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
12) Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Tales of the Fifth Guardian is written in a journal format and has an ever increasing cast of characters and venues along with a language I created for the characters to use in spells and titles – Keeping everything straight and organized is probably the most challenging aspect and requires multiple organizational tools: A Calendar of events for each volume and a full timeline of the full series to keep track of dates, a One Note file with a dozen tabs to keep locations and characters organized, and an Otlantesha to English and English to Otlantesha dictionary to keep track of the words of the language I created.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
13) What the hardest part of writing your book? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Keeping the intimate scenes fresh.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
14) Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it? <br />
<span style="color: #660066;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;"> Through meeting and writing about some of my characters, I have realized that I am probably the most tolerant person in my family.<br />
</span>
<br />
15) Do you have any advice for writers?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">If your dream is to write then do it but get help if you are at all shaky on the rules of grammar. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
16) Do you have anything specific to say to your readers?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Let me hear your thoughts! I include my Facebook, Twitter, and Email at the back of all my books. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
17) What would you do in a zombie apocalypse should it occur on Black Friday?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">We don’t go out on Black Friday so we would batten down the hatches but still prepare to evacuate in case we would need to.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
18) If you could be any Christmas character, what would you be and why? <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Snoopy, quietly going behind everyone, doing my own thing but helping it to all work out.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
19) Favorite Christmas movie?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Gremlins</span>.<br />
<br />
20) Favorite Christmas CD?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">No particular favorite.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">
</span>
<br />
21) Favorite thing to do for the holidays?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660066;">Torture family members with obscure hints about their gifts and bake cookies.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660066;">

<strong>C. M. Wright, Zombie Queen</strong><br />
<br />
Wife and mother who lives outside Skidmore Missouri, C. M. loves all things zombie and is a huge fan of The Walking Dead.<br />
She likes to laugh and make others laugh, so she does her best to bring that to her readers...for the Zombie Overload series, anyway.<br />
Eventually, she plans to write about other creatures that go bump in the night.<br />

<strong>Dying To Live & Fighting To Live</strong><br />
<strong>A novelette and full-length story in one!</strong><br />
<br />
Admit it. You think about it, fantasize about it, live through it in your head. But what would you do if zombies became a reality? If you actually were to see the dead walk, attack and kill people you know - who then rise right in front of your eyes? What would you do when the undead don't follow the script you've played out - over and over - in your own mind?<br />
<br />
Find out what happens to a woman in central Illinois when her life is<br />
turned upside down. Zombies become real and so does the danger. Her<br />
family means the most to her, but can she keep them alive? Can she keep<br />
herself alive?<br />
In this double edition that begins with a novelette, you are a big part of the story. The main character "speaks" to you often and you're invited into her thoughts - which can be quite humorous at times. She's not perfect and she knows it. She strong and she's a fighter...but she doesn't know it.<br />
<br />

<strong>Excerpt - Dying To Live:</strong><br />
<br />
If we weren't watching the local five o'clock news, we would never have known the "virus" that was reported just last night as “contained” and “no reason for alarm” was this serious, or so very deadly, until it was too late.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
No one ever said the infected were going around eating people! Maybe I'm wrong, but that might be some important information.<br />
Just sayin'!<br />
We watch the images on the screen. An elderly man is tearing into the flesh of an athletic younger man. A petite young lady in a college sweatshirt is covered in the blood of a well-known college professor. Pieces of his stomach is in her hands, some is in her mouth.<br />
And the kids! We watch as one little blond-haired girl, maybe five years old, chomps down on the meaty thigh of a police officer. We see two boys in the background - both look to be under ten years old - chasing a small group of adults.<br />
The local female reporter's voice comes on and the camera swings toward her. Her usually perfect hair and makeup are a mess and her normally smooth voice is uncontrolled and shaky. You can see the microphone in her hand jerking around as her entire body trembles with fear.<br />
Behind her, the scenes of horror and fiction-turned-reality continue. The reporter tells us that the “infected” have escaped confinement and the entire city, at least, is in danger.<br />
She informs whoever is watching that the cemeteries have been emptied of all corpses, and that no one is taking responsibility for the removal of the corpses.<br />
Obviously, she has never watched a George Romero movie or she would know exactly what happened to those corpses!<br />
Right before our eyes, a man in a business suit staggers up behind her. The view on our TV screen jerks as the cameraman screams a warning at her. But he's too late. The businessman's hand wraps around her slender throat, pulling her back against him as he opens his mouth.<br />
She tries to get away from him, but he's so much stronger. He lowers his snarling, wide mouth and tears off her entire right cheek with his full set of teeth. The sound her flesh makes as it's ripped away carries clearly through the mic to the viewers.<br />
The camera slams to the ground and I jump as her body does the same and she's suddenly back in front of the camera, her lifeless eyes staring into the lens, one last time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Excerpt - Fighting To Live:</strong><br />
<br />
Jake slams into the wall behind him. He pats his head frantically, I guess to make sure it's still there and in one piece. He looks at me like I'm crazy then looks behind him.<br />
<br />
Lying in the hall, half-in half-out the next corridor, is a zombie with a bullet smack-dab in the center of his forehead.<br />
Hell yeah!<br />
Jake looks back and forth with shock in his eyes.<br />
God, that just made my day.<br />
Scaring the shit out of Mr. Badass Sergeant Major.<br />
HA!<br />
I hide my big shit-eating grin before he looks back at me again. He clears his throat and says, "Uh, good job. Who taught you to shoot, anyway?"<br />
"Video games," I say and turn my back to him and get into position - my butt sticking out - waiting for him to do the same.<br />
I silently laugh when I imagine the look on his face. And it's true. That's the only training I've had with a gun, but you better believe I'm damn good on those games! I'll admit I wasn't expecting the power of the jerk that the gun made in my hand, or the deafening sound it would make. I thought that was just shotguns. Learn something new everyday!<br />
I feel his butt against my back and we start off. I expect the rest of the undead to come for us now that they heard some noise.<br />
We turn the corner and step over the zombie. So far, none of the few open doors held any surprises. In this hall though, they are all open so it takes us a lot longer, having to go slower, check every room, and close the doors as we clear them. Two doors away, we hear grunting and things being knocked over.<br />
Slowly and cautiously, we approach the door. Jake turns slightly and puts his hand up telling me to stay. He spins to the other side of the door and I roll my eyes.<br />
Drama, anyone?<br />
I move closer to my side of the door and raise my gun. He counts off to three, then spins into the room. What we see leaves us both speechless.<br />
This zombie-man is naked! Bare...ass...naked!<br />
What the hell?<br />
Jake looks at me as I look at him. He mouths one word, "Showers." So he was in the showers when he was bit.<br />
Alrighty then!<br />
Wait.<br />
They have showers here?<br />
<br />

<span lang="EN">1) What inspired you to write your first book?<br />
<br />
The Walking Dead went on season break. Pissed me off, so I made my own zombie world.<br />
<br />
2) How did you come up with the title for each book?<br />
<br />
That is the part I HATE THE MOST! A lot of hours wasted on titles and names. UGH! I have no idea. They pop in my head and I run with it if it sounds even remotely okay.<br />
<br />
3) Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?<br />
<br />
Um, zombies will eat you? LOL Not really anything big and life changing in regards to any messages, I don't think.<br />
<br />
4) Are the experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?<br />
<br />
Actually, the entire series is jam-packed with people I know, both friends and family, and I try to keep a lot of their real personalities in the books.<br />
<br />
5) What books have influenced your life the most?<br />
<br />
I can't really say any book has influenced my life at all. Maybe I'm wrong and something has stuck and changed me, but if so, it was done without any conscious thought on my part.<br />
<br />
6) If you had to choose, which writer would consider a mentor?<br />
<br />
Stephen King. He's the...well, KING!<br />
<br />
7) What book are you reading now?<br />
<br />
I actually just finished up the Much Ado series by Jacquie Rogers - holy crap! Those are some good books! You all need to grab those suckers up. I'm about to start The Shadow-Keepers Series by Jas T Ward. <br />
<br />
8) Are there any new authors that have grabbed your attention?<br />
<br />
Being an author promoter as well as an author, of course! I find new authors, or they find me really, and new books every day.<br />
<br />
The mot recent are Cynthia Ogren and Amber Polo, who I'm actually promoting right now.<br />
<br />
9) What are your current projects?<br />
<br />
Book six in the Zombie Overload Series. If I don't finish it soon, the death threats may progress into more than threats!<br />
<br />
10) If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your books?<br />
<br />
Just one and I really don't want to talk about it, since it concerns my dad who passed away a year ago November.<br />
<br />
11) Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?<br />
<br />
Not really. I can always remember writing something.<br />
<br />
12) Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?<br />
<br />
Major writer's block. MAJOR.<br />
<br />
13) What the hardest part of writing your book? <br />
<br />
Getting past the writer's block. That's really the hardest part. When I'm able to write, there's no stopping me!<br />
<br />
14) Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it? <br />
<br />
Oh, I learned a lot! Number one, even if you had the highest grades in English class in school, you still will screw up. Number two, you can NOT edit your own work. Your brain doesn't allow you to see where you screwed up. Number three, you will always have haters, no matter what you do, so just go with it, screw with them when you can and let it go. Remember the ones who love you and your work.<br />
<br />
I have to tell you a story about number three - I had a reviewer bash one of my books and had written something about how I will probably title my next book something lame and stupid like Will To Live. I actually had a different name in mind, but since he wrote that, I decided to title it Will To Live. Just my way of giving him the finger! LOL<br />
<br />
15) Do you have any advice for writers?<br />
<br />
Besides number three above, write what YOU want to write. Don't let anyone dictate what your heart desires when it comes to your writing. Stop being scared to take your work where YOU want it to go. I have a LOT of suggestions, but since this is just an interview, and not a novel, I won't put them all here, but I am open to helping anyone who wants serious help and suggestions. I also have a lot of tips in an ebook I wrote just for authors titled Author Promoting & Image and can be found on Amazon or my website for 99¢. Just search for CM Wright<br />
<br />
16) Do you have anything specific to say to your readers?<br />
<br />
I LOVE YOU, all of you, the ones who love my work and also the ones who hate it. The ones who love it keep me writing. The ones who hate it keep the flames of passion going. Go on and hate me; you're only doing me and my work a favor!<br />
<br />
17) What would you do in a zombie apocalypse should it occur on Black Friday?<br />
<br />
Wait. Didn't that already happen? Oh. No? Could've fooled me! What I would normally do I guess. I don't shop on Black Friday, not even this year. I did go the night before with my sister, but we didn't stay long and didn't go many places. Just got our shit and ran. Since I live out in the country, and have few neighbors, I doubt it would be any worse than if it happened on any other day.<br />
<br />
18) If you could be any Christmas character, what would you be and why? <br />
<br />
Santa! Except I would totally suck at being all sneaky and behind the scenes. I would want to see each child open their gifts! GOOD GAWD, that would take a long-ass time though, wouldn't it? Nah. I'll let Big Red do his thing.<br />
<br />
19) Favorite Christmas movie?<br />
<br />
Home Alone<br />
<br />
20) Favorite Christmas CD?<br />
<br />
Um, don't know the title but it has a mix of songs by different singers.<br />
<br />
21) Favorite thing to do for the holidays?<br />
<br />
My family's Christmas Eve tradition. We all dress in our warmest PJs and drive around looking at Christmas lights/decorations while listening to Christmas music. When we get home, we have cookies, hot cocoa, dad reads the Christmas Story from the bible, we sing a few Christmas carols, and watch a Christmas movie.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve (yes, I know you didn’t ask, but try and stop me!) my husband and I write down all the good and all the bad that happened that year. Then we seal it and put it in our keepsakes box. We're going to open them on our tenth New Year's Eve together and every ten years after that.</span><br />

<strong>JEFF'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY:</strong></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
I spent twenty-five years in the wonderful world of road construction. Back surgery in 2010 put the skids on that career. My body couldn't handle the rigors of twelve to sixteen hour days, six to seven days a week. As I convalesced, licking my wounds, I wondered what to do next. Not being out in the sun getting baked, or dodging traffic, was going to be a hard act to follow. Seriously, what else did I know? An article in the Dallas Morning News caught my eye. It was about being a professional speaker. Hmm. That sounds interesting. Becoming mobile again, I took a seat in front of the blank monitor, pondering what to write. Let's start with something we know—my life.</div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The first work was titled "God's Plan: A Glimpse Into One's Life." I re-titled it six months later to "Why Did Everything Happen?" I looked back at the last twenty-five years and how the death of my partner, father and true love affected my life. I was amazed at the revelations. Since then, I've moved on to write in several different genres. Some say I should change my name when diverting from the path. Well, right or wrong, I'm sticking with my name, with the exception one—Cracking Up! I took a shower after writing the next to last chapter. It was that disgusting! The pen name is J.J. Reinhardt. </div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The current works range from the memoir of my one true love: Debbie Beck--RIP 7-20-2009--Love's True Second Chance, an alternative historical perspective of Vampires and WWII, Occupation, a newly released Sci-Fi time travel adventure, Gateway: Pioche. If that isn't enough, how about two Baseball Coaching Manuals? Oh, and there’s more!</div>
<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
I currently live in the DFW area, spending time with my daughter, her girls and my oldest son. When I was in construction, I never had, or took the time to enjoy what surrounded me: love, family and friends. My true love, Debbie and her girls reminded me what was important in life; "we work to live, not live to work."</div>

<br />
<strong>INTERVIEW:</strong><br />
<span lang="EN">) What inspired you to write your first book?<br />
<br />
Well, I wouldn't call it inspiration as much as needing to tell a story. The love of my life had just passed away and I was in a world of grief. I found myself looking back at those I'd lost by cancer. I sat down and wrote a short story/speech concerning them. The original title was "God's Plan: a Glimpse Into One's Life," but changed it later to "Why Did Everything Happen?"<br />
<br />
2) How did you come up with the title for each book?<br />
<br />
Hmm, Interesting question. The only one I struggled with the most was the WWII/Vampire book: Occupation. No, I take that back. The current book Gateway:Pioche was tough. It took over a month after the book was completed for my co-author and myself to agree on a title. The oyher titles were pretty easy.<br />
<br />
3) Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?<br />
<br />
With the novels, not really. Just enjoy the read and have fun. Now, the auto-biographies, yes. Love is worth a second chance and no matter what your religion or belief, we are not nearly as in control as we'd like to think.<br />
<br />
4) Are the experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?<br />
<br />
Absolutely! The bio's are about my partner, my father and Debbie.<br />
<br />
5) What books have influenced your life the most?<br />
<br />
I'm probably an oddity (many who know me will agree with that 100%) when it come to this. Most of the books I have on the shelves revolve around WWII. I was never a touchy feely guy or felt like any author was truly reaching out and touching me. Seriously, if non-fiction books on WWII were running my life, most of my friends would have me committed. Not to say they don't still share those thoughts.<br />
<br />
6) If you had to choose, which writer would consider a mentor?<br />
<br />
That would have to be Bram Stoker. After writing the vampire thriller, I decided it was time to see how the master approached the topic. I love the way he intermingled dialog and scene changes effortlessly.<br />
<br />
7) What book are you reading now?<br />
<br />
Cicero: Political Speeches by D.H. Berry,<br />
<br />
Resist by Anne-Rae Vasquez YA <br />
<br />
Bishop Street by Rene D. Schultz<br />
<br />
Crimson Shadow: Noir Nathan Squires<br />
<br />
Indie Unlimited: Tutorial and Tools for Prospering in a Digital World<br />
<br />
How’s that for a diverse list?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8) Are there any new authors that have grabbed your attention?<br />
<br />
Tim Greaton and Duncan Ralston jump out in the world of Paranomal<br />
<br />
Love stories would be Norma Budden and Sandy Walters<br />
<br />
For women's stories and biographies that would be Irma Fritz. <br />
<br />
9) What are your current projects?<br />
<br />
Grab a beverage of choice. This is going to take a little time<br />
<dir>
<dir>
1) A follow up to my bestseller “Catfished::Jeff and Julia’s Saga” Catfished Again: Jeff and Naughty Nadia. Both of these are a look at home gullible American men are when it comes to mail-order-bride dating<br />
2) Guinea Pigs of the 70’s and 80’s is a humorous look back on how technology infected our lives. Remember how<i> they </i>said it would make our lives easier? Bullshit!<br />
3) The much anticipated sequel to Occupation—Sabotage, the WWII vampire thriller is close<br />
4) Book three in the Gateway series, Target Berlin is drawing to a close. <br />
5) How many football fans are out there? If you answered yes, Irving Titans is a satirical look back at the Dallas Cowboys form 1988 to 1996. Think along the lines of “North Dallas Forty” and you’re on track<br />
6) All the above are scheduled for December, January releases!<br />
7) Also in the mix for 2015 is a work of poetry dedicated to the women who have served in the Armed Forces. It’s time they were honored for their service.<br />
8) I’m in the preliminary stages of writing a humorous story I used to tell my kids when we drove to Tulsa, “Redneck Randy,: along with a novel surrounding the Battle of Kursk.<br />
9) I believe that’s enough for the moment.<br />
</dir>
</dir>
<br />
10) If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your books?<br />
<br />
I’m always wanting to produce the best product I can. Of the fifteen books I’ve written, Occupation taught me a lot. All of the reviews kept mentioning a problem with the narration and dialogue. A year-and-a-half after release I cleared my mind, went back and reread it. Over 8000 words were slashed. It was a successful enema. Seriously, if you receive reviews with a common thread, it’s not smoke, it’s a raging fire. Take heed and give it another look. <br />
<br />
11) Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?<br />
<br />
You betcha. When I was 13 or 14, I wrote a play for Junior High about the "Last Ten Days of Hitler." It was a spoof like what Mel Brooks did with the "Directors." Sadly, the school didn't think it was appropriate material for general consumption. I even offered to change the names and scenes. They politely declined my offer. Those........I'll be nice. What did they know? <br />
<br />
12) Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?<br />
<br />
Yes. Waking-up and waiting on the characters to start talking. Some days they won't shut-up while others, it appears they have locked themselves in a dark hallway somewhere. Most disturbing.<br />
<br />
13) What the hardest part of writing your book? <br />
<br />
When it comes to Love's True Second Chance, the entire book. All the emotions I'd yet to release flowed out as I recounted the love and experiences we shared.<br />
<br />
14) Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it? <br />
<br />
How much I still miss her.<br />
<br />
15) Do you have any advice for writers?<br />
<br />
Yes, Patience, patience, patience. This isn't a foot race. There is no sprint to the finish line. It takes time to find your audience and keep them engaged with new works. Market as much as you can without going overboard and becoming a nuisance. But keep plugging along and plugging your book. Never admit defeat no matter how low sales currently appear. You never know when that one person is going to read your book and tell a slew of folks what a great read it is.<br />
<br />
16) Do you have anything specific to say to your readers?<br />
<br />
Buy, buy and keep on buying. I think that sums it up. Oh, please, please, please post a review and if you didn't particularly like the book, send me an email telling me what you didn't care for.<br />
<br />
17) What would you do in a zombie apocalypse should it occur on Black Friday?<br />
<br />
Easy. I'd let my vampire clans, The Romanovs and Boirarskys clear a path. Being vampires, they are immune to the bite and I'd be first in the check-out line. I believe that's a good plan.<br />
<br />
18) If you could be any Christmas character, what would you be and why? <br />
<br />
The Abominable Snowman from Rudolph. Why? According to my wonderful children, I still bounce. Something about my pear shaped figure comes to mind.<br />
<br />
19) Favorite Christmas movie?<br />
<br />
There are two. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and the original "Christmas Carol."<br />
<br />
Next in line would be ,"It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart<br />
<br />
20) Favorite Christmas CD?<br />
<br />
Don't have a specific one. I think my kids would vote for Conway Twitty's Album. I used to wake them up with it back in the day<br />
<br />
21) Favorite thing to do for the holidays?<br />
<br />
Mail out Christmas cards, take the granddaughters to the model train exhibits in Dallas, drive around checking out the lights and last but not least, being around my kids. <br />
<br />

When a young woman is brutally murdered, the case of Hope Cooper can change the course of his life.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hope, an outgoing young woman with everything going for her, lost it all the night that she was faced with the vicious eyes of a murderer. Stuck in limbo, Hope is confused and scared, trying to right the wrong done to her. Able to visit people in their dreams, Hope latches onto Angelo in hopes he can catch her killer.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Angelo was raised with a strong belief in the afterlife and the dreams of Hope don’t go unnoticed. With the help of his partner, Bobby, he aims to catch the killer before he strikes again. However, a cold case causes Angelo's past to merge with Hope’s case.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Will he keep his feelings at bay to find the murderer?

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hate this ankle biting Yorkie as much as I hate its owner. If I could, I’d get rid of this client, but any business is good business, right? I own a mobile pet grooming company, Squeaky Clean, and so far it’s doing well. But today, I’m thanking everything that’s holy that as soon as I drop off Jeanie Costa’s Yorkshire terrier, I’m done for the day.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I usually enjoy walking the dogs down Hines Drive because it's one of the last truly beautiful areas left in the Detroit area. After everything that’s happened, I’m always looking over my shoulder because I feel like I’m being watched. Hines Drive doesn’t calm me like it usually does, and I find myself rushing the dog so we can get out of here. With the sound of footsteps behind me, fear settles in my soul, causing me to start pulling the dog along.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oh my God, will you just pee already!” I scream at the dog when it stops for the millionth time. Fear hits me full force and I’m about to just pick up the damn dog and run when Gigi growls. A large, calloused hand grips my shoulder and spins me around. I swing my arms, trying like hell to strike my attacker, but hit nothing but air. As soon as I recognize him, anger quickly replaces fear. </span></span></div>

You don’t live around here.” The hair on the back of my neck is standing up and a frisson of disquiet travels down my spine. I mean, what are the odds that he’d be on the same street as me, when neither of us lives in this area?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“What?” I choke out, uneasiness creeping into my gut.

He hits me on the head with such force that I actually see stars and feel incredible pain shoot through my temple. The momentum of the blow makes me think my brain shifted in my skull. I stumble backward, and the last thing I see is Gigi biting my attacker’s leg. </span></span></div>

When my eyes adjust to the dimly lit room, it becomes evident that I’m no longer outside, and I’ve been hogtied. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can feel the bile rise in the back of my throat as I glance around the room. The painted walls are yellowed and peeling. An old, battered wooden chair is nearby, and a dented bucket sits off in the corner. It’s the mattress that does me in, stained from top to bottom with a piss-covered top that reeks of decay. I take a few deep breaths and swallow back the rising vomit in my throat. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">

I force myself to take calming breaths so I can try and figure out how to get out of here. I try to get a better idea of my location, but all that’s visible is a window, most of the glass covered with boards. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A loud shattering sound echoes from the next room, reminding me that I’m not alone. Pretending I’m still out, I hear heavy footsteps approaching and sense my stalker standing over me. He bends down and runs his fingers through my hair in an intimate gesture.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I’ve loved you forever, Hope; I wish you could see that.” He grabs a handful of my hair and seeing me wince seems to piss him off. Apparently realizing I was faking, he pulls me by my hair to the edge of the mattress and slams my head to the floor. It makes a sickening </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">thud</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> sound as it hits followed by an instant, nauseating throbbing. Warm liquid, probably my blood, drips down the side of my face into my mouth. The metallic taste fuels my fear—and my anger. I thrash against the bindings in an attempt to free myself but only manage to cause the filthy rope to dig deeper into my wrists and ankles, leaving me raw and bleeding.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> “I waited so long for you, baby, but you never gave me a chance. I do so many nice things for you, and you don’t even have the manners to say thank you.” He turns to look at me, venom in his eyes. I stop struggling as I shake my head to try and clear my thoughts and possibly ease the throbbing. I hope my fear is not evident to him.</span></span></div>

You don’t give a shit either way.” He starts to pace and seems to become more agitated. He fists his hands into his dark hair, pulling on the ends. I twist my left wrist, wincing in pain from the rope digging into my abraded flesh, but I feel the rope slowly giving way. Every time he glances in my direction, I freeze as my fear creeps higher. I’m praying he doesn’t notice what I’m doing.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I never wanted it to end this way, but you have left me with no other choice. I can’t keep watching you every day, knowing you won’t be mine.” He stops pacing to look at me, pulls a roll of duct tape out of his jacket pocket as he saunters over to me twirling the roll around his finger with an evil smirk on his face. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Please don’t do this.” Tears are streaming down my face. “I’ll do anything you want. Please. I’m sorry. I didn’t know sooner; let me make it up to you.” I try to sound genuine, but fear overcomes me and my words sound shaky and unsure. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“MAKE IT UP TO ME?” he yells. “It’s too late for empty promises, Hope. Just shut the fuck up. I won’t listen to your bullshit anymore.” Before I can even open my mouth, he slaps me in the face so hard my head whips back. The sound of my neck cracking reverberates throughout the room. The force of the blow causes my jaw to clamp down so hard I bite into my tongue, the blood pooling in my mouth. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He kneels down to get eye level with me, and I spit the mixture of blood and saliva in his face. “You bitch!” He rises up and wipes his face. Finally pulling a hand free, I punch him as hard as I can in the groin. Grabbing his crotch, he falls sideways with a loud groan, writhing in pain. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Frantically kicking my legs free, knowing my life depends on getting away, I run to the door, throw it open, and come face to face with complete darkness. My heart racing, I pick a direction and pray it’s the right one. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Hope, get back here!” he yells.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shit, he’s getting up.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I dodge into a room as he stumbles out, crashing into a table, causing him to yell in pain. “Where the fuck are you? When I find you, so help me God, you’ll be sorry, bitch,” he growls. Looking around the moonlit room I spot what looks like a small closet. I get in, moving the nasty, ratty clothing that still hangs there aside and close the door behind me. Pressing myself up against the wall, the only sounds are my heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I know you’re here, you can’t hide from me, you stupid slut.” His voice gets louder and I know he’s only seconds from entering the room. My panic reaches new heights as I push myself to the back of the closet and close my eyes like a child. If I can’t see him then he can’t see me…right? Suddenly, the door flies open and I cover my mouth to silence my scream. Grabbing the first limb he sees, he yanks my battered body from the small enclosure, knocking the wind out of me as my back slams against the hardwood floor.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Ah ha, gotcha bitch,” he laughs. “Now it’s time to pay for being such a whore and teasing me all the time.” Placing his foot on my neck, holding me in place, I gasp for air. He jerks my arms behind my back, nearly dislocating my shoulder. My struggling doesn’t deter him, and he ties the ropes tighter than he did the first time.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Just stop fighting this, Hope.” When I continue to try and get free, he sneers and punches me in the face. Blood gushes from my nose, mixing with the dark pools that flow from my mouth and head. My face throbs and my tongue burns from the salt in my tears as he finishes his work, quickly leaving me totally at his mercy. Pulling a switchblade out of his scuffed combat boot, he flicks it open, and slowly drags the double-edged blade lightly up my body, stopping when the cold steel touches my cheek, smearing the blood that has continued to run down my face. Closing my eyes tightly, I pray he won’t use it, but I silently begin to say my goodbyes. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You are so beautiful, Hope. I could’ve given you the world. Can you not see how much I love you, what you mean to me? Do you know how bad it hurts watching you from afar when you should have been mine? DO YOU?” His breathing becomes more ragged as he shoves the knife under my shirt. I hold my breath, knowing where this is going. He cuts through my shirt, the knife razor-sharp, and then makes quick work of my bra, leaving me naked from the waist up.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> “You. Are. Mine. Hope. I believe it’s finally time to take what’s mine.”</span><span style="font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I start to struggle against the ropes until I feel the edge of the knife at my throat. “Move again, slut, and I will cut your throat end to end and watch the life drain from your body.”</span></span></div>

After a stupid
miscommunication, everyone in Andi’s new res thinks she’s secretly dating
Damien, boyfriend of resident queen bee Charlotte. Since the rumour’s already
out there and refuses to be squashed, Andi and Damien decide to keep up the
facade in the hopes of snagging the attention of the people they really want to
be with. Brilliant plan, right? Especially since Damien is the guy Andi’s
always wanted. But now there’s Mike, the guy Andi’s pretending to be interested
in for the sake of the fake relationship plan, and Noah, Damien’s annoying best
friend—who is so not Andi’s type—and suddenly the plan isn’t looking so
brilliant anymore.<o:p></o:p></div>

Rachel Morgan is a
South African author who spent a large portion of her childhood living in a
fantasy-land of her own making. After completing a degree in genetics, she
decided science wasn’t for her—after all, they didn’t approve of made-up facts.
These days she spends much of her time immersed in fantasy land once more,
writing fiction for young adults and those young at heart.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There is only one
thing in life that professional pastry Chef Priscilla Westcott values more than
baking and wine, and that’s honesty. A quality she soon learns that her
marriage lacks when her husband runs off with their next door neighbor. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Divorced and alone,
Priscilla is determined to make changes in her life. She decides to approach
her new goals like one of her beloved recipes. Surely with a little time, a
dash of patience, and measured planning she can whip herself—and her life—back
into shape. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
However, when a
new—and utterly delicious—neighbor takes up residence in the house that ruined
her marriage, Pricilla fears that her careful world will fold faster than a
deflated soufflé. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Trent Walker knows
what he wants and his sweet, sassy neighbor is at the top of the list. He’s
certain that the chemistry between them would be explosive, but Priscilla fears
that an affair with him, however hot, could be a recipe for disaster.<o:p></o:p></div>

This book is a wonderful tale of a young woman dealing with tragedy and change. A strange, paranormal change that she has to learn how to deal with. I loved the interactions with Addie and Cael. The characters have depth and the book is written in such a way that I often forgot it was a book. I felt like I was right there with them. A beautiful love story with paranormal elements, this book has a nice ending. I was delighted to learn that the author had two more books with these characters because I didn’t want to leave Whisper Cape.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>DESCRIPTION:</u></strong><br />
A powerful woman, an extraordinary man, and a maniac who wants to destroy them. Fate has brought them together, but will it make them stronger or destroy them all in end?<br /><br />Escape to a world where the impossible becomes possible and sparks ignite.<br /><br />WHISPER CAPE is a town of secrets and Addison MacKenna soon becomes tangled in a web of them. Plagued with nightmares of her father's sudden and brutal death, Addie struggles with her anguish and refuses to believe his demise was accidental. <br /><br />Fighting to shake off one of those devastating early morning nightmares, Addison finds it even harder to escape from the vision of a man lying on the side of the road--a man she may have just killed. When she frantically tries to locate him, he seemingly disappears, just the beginning of strange occurrences in her life. She also cannot ignore the weird sensations in her own body. Suddenly, the impossible seems possible, but is that a blessing or a curse? <br />
<strong><u></u></strong><br />
Believing that her continual and worsening nightmares are both the key to her own new abilities and the clue to her father's death, Addie knows she will not rest until she has the answers she craves. As she strives to cope with her new remarkable talents, someone else learns of her abilities--a disgruntled maniacal psychopath with his own agenda that involves eliminating Addie. The only one who can protect her, instruct her in the use of her powers and teach her how to destroy the murderous monster is the same man who makes Addie's heart race and her blood heat with passion. The same man she'd left for dead. <br /><br />Cael Sheridan may be arrogant and mysterious but he's also undeniably gorgeous. A member of a secret society, he is sworn to protect the woman he believes to be the daughter of his recently murdered mentor. In the process, he finds it impossible to resist her magnetic sensuality, complicating his efforts to shield and guide her as she learns to manage her newly acquired skills. At the same time, Addison has much to teach him about trust and commitment. Will fate win in the end? You be the judge. </span><br />

<strong><u>
Kerry’s review of Reflections (Whisper Cape series, book 2) by Susan Griscom</u></strong> <br />I give this book 4.5 stars<br /><br />This story is told for the view point of Maia and Gerry. Maia is a very loving person and Gerry tries his best to watch his language when he finds out they are having a baby, which is hard to do when running a bar and having your old band mates come in to town. I went on an emotional roller coaster right along with Maia from happiness to depression to worry as the baby continues to grow. Susan's has such a way with words that I ended up reading the whole book in one night. I couldn't even wait and had to start book 3 right away! This is a must read to anyone and everyone.<br /><br /><strong><u>DESCRIPTION</u></strong>Gerry has loved Maia from the very first moment he laid eyes on her and now that she’s pregnant with his child, he’s over the moon with happiness. Likewise, Maia is overjoyed about having Gerry’s baby, but when she starts seeing and hearing an old woman who warns Maia about the pregnancy, Maia starts to think she is losing her mind. But Maia’s nightmare has only just begun...<br /><br />A most sought after beautiful woman, the talented lead singer in an up and coming rock band, sets her sights on Gerry determined to rekindle an old flame. But murder befalls the sleepy town of Whisper Cape once again, creating suspicion and betrayal, and a love once considered invincible, begins to crumble and fall apart.</span><br />

<strong><u>My review of A Secret Fate (Whisper Cape series, book 3) by Susan Griscom</u></strong><br />
I give this book 4.5 stars<br />
<br />
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book goes back to Addie and Cael's point of view. I love how they interact with each other. While Addie is trying to deal with the loss of a loved one, Cael has to deal with his own losses of quite a few loved ones. The raw emotion and almost torture that they have to live with felt very real to me and I ended up having to put the book down for a few minutes just to be able to process everything. I still finished the book in a day and I loved every second! Susan really makes the reader feel as if they are living the life of each person. I have read other work by her and this is by far my favorite. I would most definitely put the whole series in my To-Be-Read-Again pile! My biggest hope is that we will see some new friends finding their way to Whisper Cape so I can revisit. This series is one of my most recommended to other people!<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u>DESCRIPTION</u></strong><br />
<br />
"Well, fate was cruel, wasn't it?"<br /><br />Cael and Addison’s fate has taken an unexpected turn.<br /><br />Gerry, Addie and Cael almost captured Careen’s murderer only to lose Cael in the battle—a battle that nearly cost him his life. But despite his survival, he faces a new challenge, thanks to Gerry's handiwork: will Cael remember Addie or is their love lost with him?<br /><br />Addie’s family and friends think she should keep the relationship a secret from Cael so he isn't forced into feelings he can't remember. Just what she needs, more secrets and on top of everything else, someone stole the crystal. How is she supposed to get over the loss of her lover, a lover she'd barely had for only a few short months and deal with the secret of the lost crystal at the same time?<br /><br />Aiden wants nothing more than to help Addie overcome her grief and get over Cael. Or is that all he wants? What happens when too many people know the secret and someone slips up?<br />

<strong><u>THE AUTHOR SUSAN GRISCOM</u></strong><br />
<br />
I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, spending most of my time daydreaming or playing around in the mud. I grew out of the mud play, well, most of the time, a good soak in the mud is always fun. I still daydream often and sometimes my daydreams interrupt my daydreams. So I write to remember them. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play--a dreadful disaster, though not from my writing, of course. I'm pretty sure it was the acting.<br />
I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns and tend to lean toward the unusual and edgy.<br />
My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running hot as does an steamy contemporary romantic suspense.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
On the right path to achieving her hopes and dreams, Campbell Stevens has always been a model student. The first time she lets loose during her senior year of high school, she loses everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living in a nightmare after surviving the most traumatic event, Campbell learns to be content by walking through life single and unattached, free of the uncertainty that relationships bring. She isn’t looking for love. In fact, she goes out of her way to avoid it—that is, until she runs into Deacon Montgomery, a kind and handsome Chicago firefighter. She denies her instant attraction to him, only making him more persistent in his pursuit of her. Despite her desire to be with Deacon, Campbell is too damaged to share herself with anyone else. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life left Campbell shattered. Can Deacon help put the fragments back together? Or will she forever be broken?</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt 1: </b></span><br />
“Why are you so nice to me when I keep pushing you away? Why do you keep trying? I’m broken, Deacon. Don’t you know what's good for you?” Campbell pleads.<br />
“Yeah, I do, and it’s you. I want all of you, and if you are broken, I want all those shattered pieces, too. Please just trust me.”<br />
<br />
Cam’s eyes fill with unshed tears as her bottom lip quivers. I grab her head on either side, running my fingers through her hair, pulling her toward me, bringing her mouth to mine. I feel her lips quiver as I taste her, ravishing her mouth. Cam’s hands wrap around my waist and she runs her fingers up and down my back. I explore her mouth, my tongue greedy to touch every part. She whimpers, and my dick throbs in a needful plea.<br />
<br />
<i>Fuck, I want this girl.</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt 2: </span></b><br />
With a half sob, I scream into the air that's charged with the scent and flavor of sex, like an electrical storm of raw pleasure. I feel the warmth flush through my body and I lose my mind to the pleasure it brings. Deacon continues to taste below as he holds my quaking thighs. The ecstasy exits my pores, leaving my skin covered in head-to-toe goose bumps.<br />
<br />
My shaking finally starts to slow as Deacon’s tongue mirrors the decelerating cadence. I breathe in and out, deeply trying to regain my equilibrium. My skin glistens with a thin sheen of sweat, my heart racing while my mind and body are in a post-orgasm utopian fog.<br />
<br />
<i>What the hell was that?</i></blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>BLURB:</strong><br /><br />Former Olympic hopeful Jack Douglas traded competitive swimming for professional yoga and never looked back. When handsome pro boxer Felix Montero mistakenly registers for his Yoga for Seniors class, Jack takes an active interest both in Felix’s struggles to manage stress and in his heart, and discovers along the way that he may have healing of his own to do.<br /><br />Faced with the ghosts of his athletic aspirations, can Jack return to his old dream or carve out a new path, and will their budding romance survive the test of Felix’s next bout in the ring?<br /><br /> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span><br /><br /><strong>EXCERPT</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Jack got down on all fours, shifted back with his arms out in front of him and popped his hips up high, stretching his legs out straight. So maybe it was a little difficult to hold his head up high when it was hanging upside down between his arms, and he could possibly have picked a better position than one that had him sticking his—<br /><br />Felix made a choked-off noise next to him and Jack angled his head slightly to see what was wrong, worried that Felix had hurt his back by not doing the pose correctly. But he was still hunched on the mat watching Jack demonstrate the position, hands clenched, eyes wide and fixed unmistakably on Jack’s ass where it pushed up into the air and—oh.<br /><br />Oh.<br /><br />Jack wanted to preen a little, but that was unprofessional, of course. Not to mention a little tacky and vain. But if he swayed his hips just a bit more than was necessary while walking up to the front to dismiss everyone, well, he was just energized after a good session, was all.<br /><br />He stood by the door, a constant stream of Goodbye and See you Tuesday and Murray stepping in close to say out of the corner of his mouth, “I may be losing my hearing but I sure ain’t blind,” with another wink as he passed by. And while Jack gaped after him, trying to figure out exactly what that was supposed to mean, Felix stopped in the doorway, nervously rubbing the back of his neck.<br /><br />“Sorry I’m so hopeless,” he sighed.<br /><br />“You are not hopeless, Felix.” Jack’s fingertips settled on Felix’s forearm before he caught himself and pulled back. Felix was obviously not what Jack had assumed, but still. There were lines. He was a student. “You just need to relax.”<br /><br />“Yeah, I… struggle with that. A bit.” Felix scrunched his nose up and Jack just barely resisted the urge to bop it with his index finger.<br /><br />“Well, I’m sure I can find a way to loosen you up,” Jack replied, then cringed at Felix’s startled expression. Way to not the cross the line there. “I—I mean. You’re so tense and I can help you out. Not help you out. Relieve the tension. Not like that! Oh, God. I’m shutting up now.”<br /><br /> <br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /><strong>MEET THE AUTHOR:</strong>Lilah Suzanne has been writing actively since the sixth grade, when a literary magazine published her essay about an uncle who lost his life to AIDS.

<strong>Book Synopsis:</strong> <br />
<br />
Jenny’s had it with her life. Six siblings in an overstuffed house are enough to drive anyone crazy, and sometimes she dreams of escaping to some fantasy world. When she suddenly wakes up to find herself being kissed by a strange—but very handsome—prince, Jenny knows her life just got a lot more exciting. Now stuck in a medieval land of castles and royalty, when Jenny learns that the queen has agreed to marry her off to the prince, it’s time to take matters into her own hands. She goes on a quest to find out who dragged her to this time while trying to keep from falling in love with either of the boys vying for her attention. <br />
<br />
Princess Genevieve has only known life under her mother’s rule. She wants to do more than go to battle or deal with suitors. She wakes to find herself in a new world filled with gadgets, electricity, and moving carriages. She finally has the freedom to be who she wants to be with a family who cares deeply for her and a boy worth any sacrifice. It’s more than everything she always wanted. <br />
<br />
As Jenny and Genevieve settle into their new lives, they face an unknown evil which threatens everything they care about and makes them face tough questions—like who they are and what they really want their lives to become.<br />

<strong>Author Bio:</strong><br />
<br />
Jaclyn is an Idaho farm girl who grew up loving to read. She developed a love for writing as a senior in high school, when her dad jokingly said she was the next Dr. Seuss (not even close but very sweet). She met her husband, Steve at BYU and they have six happy, crazy children that encourage her writing. After owning a bookstore and running away to have adventures in Australia, they settled back down in their home in Utah. Jaclyn now spends her days herding her kids to various activities and trying to remember what she was supposed to do next.<br />

arrives in Sullivan, Montana with simple goals: relocate, settle an estate, and
manage her own antique store. Her parents and friends back home called it
running away. That’s just fine with her.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Rachel’s curiosity leads her into the forest,
and she finds creatures who know more about her ominous heritage than she does.
The creatures only exist in nightmares – grotesque mutants and shapeshifters.
They seek vengeance for hideous crimes in genetic engineering, and Rachel is
the prime target for retribution. While Rachel searches for the truth behind
the family she never knew, a bounty hunter stalks her every move. Only
Leonardo, a figure shrouded in the shadows, offers protection. A were lion with
the perfect blend of human and feline features. Terrifying. Impossible.
Alluring.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Rachel glanced to
the trees, noticing for the first time the tanagers and morning jays no longer
sang. Only stark silence, a forest frozen with anticipation. Rubbing her arms,
she dropped her gaze. <i>Why does it feel so
hard to breathe?</i> <i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.15in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“You should leave
now. There is nothing to fear in the sun – the Others hunt only at night.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.15in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“The Others?” She
slowly rotated, waiting for an answer or a clue, wondering if she was speaking
to a ghost. She almost smiled at the
absurdity of the thought. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.15in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Go south,
following the slope. The thickness breaks in a couple miles. When it does, go
east along the stream. You’ll come across a marked path which will lead you
home.”<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.15in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Rachel’s stomach
swelled into her chest. “How do you know where I live?” Watching her, following
her, made him a stalker. A threat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 0.15in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A charged lull
passed. “Do not come into these forests at night. They are not safe. And I can not guarantee your safety.”</span></div>

Sanctuary, a refuge for abused and confiscated cats, is what Cami has worked

yearns for someone to share the dream with, and knows everyone in town thinks
Alex is the perfect man for the job. There’s one problem. She wants fireworks

go, but Alex knows someday he’ll want more.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Hey Alex! Which way are we going
with this?” Mason, the youngest of the crew at only twenty-four, interrupted
the tirade of thoughts, the final roll of fencing forcing a heavy lean. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> “What’s
the story between you and Ms. Lockhart?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> “There
is no story. We’ve been friends nearly our entire lives.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> Mason
grimaced as he concentrated harder than needed at the fencing. “Sorry. Didn’t
mean nothing.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> “Maybe

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> Alex
sighed. Time to start dating again. Cami wasn’t the right one, despite how he
felt about her. If she was, she’d be his. Playing the field would help him find
the one, whoever she was. Then he could settle down, start a family. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cole is a lively person with a determination to make it in life. Once her mind
gets set on an idea she pursues it with passion. As long as she has God and her
family she feels she can conquer everyday. Besides reading and writing she
loves to sing, dance, and go mudding on her Souped-up Can Am. Her hubby is 9
years younger but he seems more mature than her at times and they level one
another out. She has a beautiful daughter named Bethani who is a miracle and a
fighter. She's the only known living survivor of Matthew Woods Syndrome and
when no one thought she'd live R.D. said "yes she will." R.D. takes
nothing for granted when it comes to life. "Everything can be ripped from
your fingers before they can grasp it. So if you want something in life, do it.
Go for it."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I
have been writing for many years and currently have two books out that are part
of a series. My For You series were the first novels I published but I had to
stop everything to write Stefan and Grey’s story in, A Broken Forever. I have
been writing since I was old enough to hold a pen and finally pursued my dream
of becoming a novelist. Writing is my
passion and I am all for following one’s passions! One of my other passions is
being a mom of my adorable daughter Peyton. When I’m not writing I’m a stay at
home mom and a full time student. I’m getting close to finishing my 2-year
degree and I am more than ready for a break.
There are many things I want to do in life, but if I can write, be with
my daughter and my family—I will be happy! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

ever done. It takes me away from my family, friends, and the little day to day

produce something that will make many people smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

If only life had a refresh button...<br />
<br />
Kate Mitchell never planned to be a 31 year-old widowed single mom, but when her soon-to-be-EX husband up and dies, her dreams of finishing college and starting over are thrown in the air like a game of 52 pick-up. When she’s given a leave of absence from work and told to “quit or recommit,” Kate retreats to idyllic Sugar Falls, New Hampshire, to figure out whether she can discover her passion and pay the bills. Cue the fresh air, summer sunshine and one sexy local contractor.
<br />
<br />
Tall, dark, and handy…
<br />
<br />
Volunteer fireman and all-around hunky guy in a toolbelt, Jim Pearson has sworn off complicated women with messy baggage. They cling to his nice-guy stability and skills with a power saw just long enough to straighten out their lives and move on… but then he meets the cute single mom staying at Grams’ lake house for the summer.
<br />
<br />
While a sizzling attraction draws them together, Jim's distrust of complicated women and Kate's incredibly complicated life threaten to pull them apart. But forces beyond their control--match-making grandmothers, the lazy backdrop of summer, and their own reckoning with the past--conspire to make them risk it all... and bet on love. <br />
<br /></blockquote>
<br />
Now enjoy and excerpt: <br />
<br />
<i>“I don’t mind you standing there,” he added as he pushed aside the curtain and stepped from the tub, scrubbing his hair with the towel. “But you are somewhat to blame for this.”<br /><br />
“I am?” she squeaked. Heavens, he was good-looking all wet and frumpled. His water-soaked T-shirt was plastered to his chest. Kate’s tongue became the Sahara.<br /><br />
“Mmm hmm,” he nodded. Now he was finger-combing his hair, a crooked grin making his face boyishly appealing as he dropped the towel on his toolbox. “I was thinking about you, you see—”<br /><br />
“You were?” Kate backed up against the sink, the small bathroom feeling suddenly much smaller. Dangerously small. As small as the pocket in her lungs still capable of holding air. “What were you thinking?”<br /><br />
He paused, his eyes dancing. “I’m thinking I ought to keep that to myself.”<br /><br />
“Why?”
<br /><br />
“I don’t think we know each other well enough for me to tell you that.”<br /><br />
Suddenly the flannel of her robe felt very hot on her skin. Kate sucked air through her nose and stared at his lips, that crooked smile teasing her, beckoning her.
<br /><br />
“I want to know,” she said, her voice barely a whisper…

Cheri Allan lives in a charming fixer-upper in rural New Hampshire with her husband, two children, one dog, four cats and an excessive amount of optimism.

But then... <br />
<br />
David Wilkinson, the head jock of her High School, walked into one of her book

Vivienne Miles doesn't know what to say. What would he say when he found out

When Viv finds out that she accidentally wrote a love spell in her book and it

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm just a small town girl with a heart for the country life.
I'm very shy and pretty much a loner, but my writing helps me be more outgoing
and talk to various people that I would otherwise have a hard time approaching.
I don't write for the money or the fame, but rather to tell a story that needs
to be told; whether that is my story or a character's story. As a lot of people
know, from my various interviews, I started writing to express my anger and
hurt over the bullying that I experienced in High School, but eventually I just
realized that I loved to tell stories. I was born in Texas, grew up and still
live in Upstate New York, and want to retire in Ireland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Gabriel Staley was used to being an outcast in the small town of Shasta, Texas. More concerned with rescuing stray dogs from a cruel death at the hands of the local Sheriff, Gabe focuses on making a difference and standing up for what he believes is right. Mika Blackwell, a shape shifter who was banned from his pack, is new to the outcast status, and not adjusting very well. When Gabe heads out to rescue an injured wolf, he has no idea that his life is about to be eternally altered. As Mika watches the man approach him, he feels the universe tilt and realises that, while he may have lost his pack, he's just found what every shifter longs for - his destined mate. Together, Gabriel and Mika must find their way and fight for their love-from confronting Mika's former pack leader to stopping someone who tries to kill Gabe's best friend, Todd. When Todd's attacker comes after Gabe, Mika is determined to protect his mate at all costs.<br />

A native Texan, Bailey spends her days spinning stories around in her head, which has contributed to more than one incident of tripping over her own feet. Evenings are reserved for pounding away at the keyboard, as are early morning hours. Sleep? Doesn’t happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey’s brain demanding to be let out. Caffeine and chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey’s office and are never far from hand at any given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey’s presence can result in what is know as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not advised under any circumstances.<br />

Rosalyn possesses a sunny personality that is laced with quirks. Although she seeks acceptance in a world where she lives out of time, what she gets is ridiculed for her eclectic wardrobe and unconventional music collection.<br />
<br />
One fateful night, Rosalyn bewitches Niles, a stylish man whose offbeat character perfectly complements her own. Unfortunately, he possesses a critical flaw that means relationship suicide for him and pretty much anyone.<br />
<br />
While under the influence of insomnia-impaired judgment, Rosalyn summons Rock ‘n Roll deity Peter Lane back from the dead. Not only does he spin her hormones into a frenzy, Peter is also the precarious puzzle piece that brings sense into her world. When Niles learns that he can overcome his life-long challenge by helping Peter avenge his death, how far will he go to secure Rosalyn’s heart?<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

Enjoying San Francisco as a backdrop, the ghosts in Diane’s 150-year old Victorian home augment the chorus in her head. With insomnia as their catalyst, these voices have become multifarious characters that haunt her well into the sun’s crowning hours, refusing to let go until they have manipulated her into succumbing to their whims. Her experiences as an actress, business owner, artisan cake designer, software project manager, Internet radio disc jockey, vintage rock n’ roll journalist/fangirl, and lover of dark and quirky personalities influence her idiosyncratic writing.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There was absolutely no way a black dragon hovered outside of Newtimber. Sianna rubbed her eyes, but the dragon was still there, clutching a round object that looked like a spotted egg. And then the egg fell, hitting the ground like an atomic bomb, sending out waves of a slow-moving fog that distorted everything it touched.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The citizens of Newtimber change. The old man down the street stretches into a screaming tree. Sianna’s skateboarding friend, Matt, transforms into a giant green dragon. Pegasus. Sirens. Griffins. Vampires. Zombies. Creatures from the myths of every culture come to life through the people.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even Sianna changes, her skin becoming stone hard, and she gains the ability to travel from the human realm into the dimension of the fae, using it to free her father from prison and enlist his aid in battling the evil bent on taking over the world.</span></div>

To my left was a large piece of glass, roughly in the shape of a broad knife. I picked it up carefully, settled it in my palm, and then, closing my eyes, I squeezed. Instead of the sharp pain I expected, there was the shatter of glass. I opened my eyes and looked at my hand. My palm was covered with shards. I squeezed it again, watching this time as the glass crushed to powder and trickled between my fingers.<br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Kelly's Review:</u></b></div>
</div>
Fractured is a fantastic and original view of the secret fairie world. The writing is beautifully done with enough description that I can picture the whole scene without bogging down the action. The Hero, a young runaway girl, feels like a real teen with her sarcasm, tough attitude and surliness. And like a teen, she is torn between wanting independence and wanting family. This gruesomely fun action story pulled me in from the start. I highly recommend this to all teens and older who like any type of fantasy stories.<br />
I am eagerly awaiting the next Newtimber book.<br />
Everyone who know me knows how stingy I am in awarding stars, so it is with great fanfare that I award this book FIVE stars! * * * * *<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Karen E. Hoover has loved the written word for as long as
she can remember. Her favorite memory of her dad is the time he spent with
Karen on his lap, telling her stories for hours on end. Her dad promised he
would have Karen reading on her own by the time she was four years old … and he
very nearly did. Karen took the gift of words her dad gave her and ran with it.
Since then, she’s written two novels and reams of poetry. Her head is fairly
popping with ideas, so she plans to write until she’s ninety-four or maybe even
a hundred and four.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inspiration is found everywhere, but Karen’s heart is fueled
by her husband and two sons, the Rocky Mountains, her chronic addiction to pens
and paper, and the smell of her laser printer in the morning.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Despite her father's lack of support, or maybe because of it, Katie manages just fine with Hard Ride, a mechanic shop where she is free to do the one thing that sets off her spark plugs: work on classic cars. What could be better than classic cars and a sexy mechanic? </span></div>

Having spent the last two years harboring a crush on his boss Katie, he can't believe his luck when she makes him an offer he can't refuse.</span><span style="font-size: 14.44444465637207px;"> </span></span></div>

But when Katie realizes someone's embezzling from the shop, things get dangerous. With Katie's life on the line, can Houston save her, and convince her there's more to him than just great sex, or will the sparks sizzle as the danger passes?</span></span></div>

“What’s up?” Houston sat in the chair, hands linked across his stomach.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Katie let her eyes rove over his form, face softening. “Why would I order a 442 from Buick?”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
“We haven’t had a Buick go through here in almost two years,” frowning at her words.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
“Exactly. And ordering directly from Buick? That’s beyond expensive, almost five grand, and it’s a reconditioned engine. So why do I show several purchases of that kind?” She turned the office chair a full one eighty, elbow on the arm, pinching her lip, and staring out the low office window with a perfect view of her cars.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
“Katie, there has to be some mistake.” Houston shifted in the seat, finding he liked the expression of anger and vulnerability. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
“Where did Mike say he was going?” she whipped the chair around, and narrowed her eyes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
“He didn’t. You don’t think …” Houston hoped they were wrong. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
She stood, her hands flat on the desktop, and leaned forward, eyes flashing dangerously, “Someone is fucking with my business. I’ll find out who it is, and they’d better run now.” She straightened and stalked out. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.940000534057617px; margin-top: 10px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Houston watched her leave, glad he wasn’t the one in the hot seat. He’d been to the shooting range with her.</div>

<i>Passion doesn’t always follow the rules of fate… </i><br />
Raised by the Fates, Ambrosia, the daughter of Medusa, has spent her life preparing for the day when she would fulfill her destiny and avenge her mother’s murder. But when a man comes forward claiming to be the spawn of Medusa, Ambrosia’s plan becomes a lot more complicated. <br />
<br />
Working as a prostitute, she finds Perseus, the man who took her mother’s head. Not realizing who she is, he tells Ambrosia that Medusa is still alive and that he’s on a quest to finish what he started twenty-three years ago. Needing to find the mother she’s never met, Ambrosia convinces Perseus to let her help, and together they discover the secrets that will unseal the cave that has kept her mother captive. But Perseus proves to be different than the monster Ambrosia has always envisioned him to be, and she finds herself needing him, craving his touch. But how can the daughter of Medusa love the man who made her an orphan for twenty-three years, and who kept her from the mother she never met?<br />

Mary Bernsen is a southwest Florida native currently living in Punta Gorda with her two beautiful children and a third, much larger child that she affectionately calls husband. She is a stay-at-home mother and spends her days creating characters on the good side of twenty-five because she is in serious denial about the fact that she is now on the bad side of it. She has a passion for fantasy of any kind and she reviews every book she reads on her blog Read It Write. If she isn't having conversations with the friends in her head, you can usually find her clipping coupons or out on the boat enjoying the muddy waters of Peace River (as long as it isn't below 80 degrees).<br />

“Gather ‘round people and you shall hear
about a bunch of bullshit that is clear.
Of riders and horses and monsters too;
your parents lied - they can still get you.
Hardly anyone who was there is alive
to dispel the rumor, uncover the lies,
but there was more than one man who rode that day
and more than just Redcoats who got in their way.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Along the way, Longfellow lost something in his translation it seems.</div>
Everyone has heard of the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. However, they have not heard about them this way! The American founding fathers had a lot more to deal with at the end of the 18th century than tariffs and tea; avoiding hurled trees from Wendigos and gargoyles falling from the sky took a lot of patience. How is Samuel Prescott supposed to hunt the leader of the Rippers when the British keep infringing upon the colonists’ rights?

Boone was sure he heard Revere scream as the zombie Forbes charged at them. On his way, Forbes took a nice hearty bite out of an off duty soldier who happened to be nearby. “Grullarrk,” the soldier said clearly before falling to the ground.
Forbes Zombie was fast. A hell of a lot faster than Forbes was in real life. <em>How the heck did that work out,</em> Boone wondered. Oh well. He unslung his double-barreled reverse musket, an invention of Revere; <em>the guy was good for something</em>, thought Boone as he fired and turned his former commanding officer’s head into a floating cloud of red mist. He then flipped the release on his musket, spun the barrels so that the fired barrel faced back and the loaded faced forward, and he vaporized the downed soldier’s head as well just to be sure. He wasn’t about to let any zombies rise on his watch.
“Everybody to the wall,” Fraser ordered. It seemed that Boone’s gunfire and the shrieking had alerted the remaining werewolves, who were apparently done feasting on the French and wanted to upgrade to a little English breakfast.
“Zombies and werewolves,” whined Revere. “I sure hope no vampires show up.”
“Vampires?” Boone countered. “What are you, a child? Vampires aren’t real.”
“They’re not?” asked Revere.
“No - vampires are just a myth. But dragons, dragons will fuck your shit up,” said George Washington.<br />

Pete Clark likes writing, animals, potato chips, and cheese. <em>Midnight Riders</em> is his first published novel, although he can also proudly say he finally finished <em>Helix Crashing</em>, the fantasy novel he has been working on for over a decade. Someday, it will be out. In addition, he has written <em>Across the Barren Landscape</em>, a collection of linked Western short stories, and <em>Tales from Midnight's Graveyard, </em>a collection of unconnected horror, science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural stories. He cowrote <em>Backward Compatible: A Geek Love Story </em>with author Sarah Daltry. He also writes plays, both dramatic and comedic. When he is not writing, Pete tends to ignore everyone around him and obsess over sports.
