<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Read an excerpt:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">The door opened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Ramsey stared in awe at the beautiful woman in the doorway. Danya’s dark hair hung past her shoulders. Her bangs were severely cut above her eyebrows. Generous lashes framed vibrant green eyes. He’d thought that he’d imagined how pretty she was. But no, she was even prettier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">While he looked at her, drinking the sight of her in, she however, startled, screamed, then tried to slam the door in his face. A well-placed foot stopped her before she could.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“You. You.” She grunted as she pressed her body against the other side of the door.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">When that didn’t work she kicked at his foot, trying to dislodge it. “No. No. No. You aren’t real.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He glanced down at his body. “I’m very much real, sweetheart.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Her eyes fluttered closed. “This is all a figment of my imagination. I am delusional. This is a symptom of anemia. One. Two. Three.” She took a deep breath, then opened her eyes again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He gave her a wicked smile. “Still here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Danya screamed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Ramsey cupped his hand over her mouth and wrapped an arm around her waist, drawing her body close to his. She smelled of vanilla and brown sugar. He leaned in to take another languidly whiff. Delectable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She opened her eyes wide, and panic was behind them. He didn’t allow himself time to enjoy how her soft body was against his. He had to get her back inside before she had everyone on her floor spilling into the hallway to see what all the commotion was about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Ramsey walked her back into her room and used his foot to kick the door closed behind them. He stopped only when her back was pressed against the wall. She shook with terror.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">First attack her. Then scare her to death. Perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">A sharp pain hit his palm. He pulled away from her mouth to see the red bite mark. “You bit me.” Her bite didn’t do any damage, and the pain was gone already. His body worked quickly to make the repair. It was confusion that made him pull away. He hadn’t expected that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Another pain, worse, like lightning, hit his groin. He doubled over and backed away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Being kneed in the balls felt the same whether he were human or vampire. It hurt like hell. “Why did you do that?” he asked in disbelief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">The scared woman that she’d been just moments before was gone, replaced by spit and hellfire. She balled her fists and took a step forward to kick him in his chin. He’d let her beauty distract him but recovered quickly and caught her bare foot mid-air and pushed it, slamming her back against the wall. Before she could react, he was against her body again and in her face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Why. Are. You. Trying. To. Hurt. Me?” His nose was less than an inch from hers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Her stare turned icy. “Because. You’re. Trying. To. Hurt. Me.” She punched his sides then winced. “Ouch. What the hell are you made of? Steel?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Dammit. Stop that.” He pinned her hands above her head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She wiggled in vain, doing nothing but making his body react to hers. He lifted her arms higher, raising her to her tiptoes. She tried to knee him again, but he blocked her by maneuvering his hip and sliding his leg between hers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He tried to ignore her warm heat spreading over his thigh. “I’m not here to hurt you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She stopped struggling long enough to glare at him. “Really? What do you call this or what you did last night?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He let out a curse. “If I let you go do you promise not to attack me again?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Sure.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He didn’t believe her. “I only came to make sure that you had recovered from last night. I didn’t mean to take as much blood as I did.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Everyone thinks that I’m crazy because of you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“And for that I apologize.” She relaxed a little. “So can I let you go now?” He really wanted to keep her where she was, pinned against him, and take her. And if he didn’t create space between them that’s exactly what he would’ve done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She gave a short nod.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He let go of her hands and stepped away and kept going until he was against the wall, giving them both space. He needed it so that his cock would go down, and she needed it so that she wouldn’t feel threatened anymore. He also wanted to put room between his balls and her knees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“You bit me,” she said again. “Why? I was just trying to help you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“And you did, by giving me your blood.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She held up a finger. “Let’s make things clear. I didn’t give you anything. You took it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Yeah, that sounded about right. Hearing her say it made him feel even worse. “If I had asked?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“The answered would’ve been no.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“It was a life or death situation. Without you I wouldn’t be standing here now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She snorted. “And that’s a good thing?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“That I’m alive? I should think so.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Alive and coming back to finish what you started?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He raised a questioning eyebrow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She pointed to her neck. “To kill me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“I hardly have intentions to kill you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. She looked causal, even relaxed, but<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">her muscles were tight. She was getting ready for a fight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Thank you for saving me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“I could’ve died. You left me with a hemoglobin of 4.4!” Then she pulled her eyebrows together in thought. “What is it supposed to be normally?” she mumbled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Humans should have a hemoglobin of—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“I’m not asking you, mister,” she snapped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Ramsey Moreau.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Huh?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“That’s my name.” She clenched her jaws. He let out a light chuckle. “Nice to meet you,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">Danya Evans.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She took a step to the side, sliding further away from him. “How do you know my name?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">He winked, giving her a devious smile. “I heard your conversations with the officers last night.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Creep much?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Sometimes.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“And I suppose that you couldn’t have found it in your heart to corroborate my story to save me from the humiliation of being labeled crazy?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">“Ah, no.” She cursed under her breath and kicked at the carpet. “But if you would let me,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">I’d like to make it up to you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">She turned her head. “And how could you do that? You can’t give me my blood back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12.5pt;">The transfusions took care of that.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;"><b><br /></b></span></center>
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">This story is the first book in my series called Helldorado Mongrels MC. The series follows different immortal shifter families, a couple of humans, and the quest for stolen gold. It takes place in southern Nevada. I’ve been toying with the idea for this series for the past few years after catching an episode of <i>Haunted Highway</i> on Syfy regarding the Hellhounds of Eldorado Canyon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">In book one, <i>Possessed by Him</i>, two human brothers are returning to the canyon where, as teenagers, they had a frightening experience in a gold mine when confronted with wolves. Cameron, one of the heroes of this story, also can’t stop thinking of a man who’s been invading his dreams for years since the incident and is surprised when he comes face to face with him in the flesh.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Cameron and dream man, Gabe, are hitting it off and the trip is going pretty well until Cameron is kidnapped by a member of the Helldorado Mongrels MC. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Want to know what happens when Cameron finds out the guy he’s super attracted to is an immortal wolf shifter and if he escapes the Mongrels? Well, you’ll just have to read the book now, won’t you? *wink*</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;"><b>~ * ~ BLURB ~ * ~</b></span></center>
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Forced to return to a place of childhood trauma, Cameron Russell fears he’ll have to confront the specter of the past once again. Instead, he comes face to face with the man of his dreams. Literally.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Unbeknownst to Cameron, Gabriel Dyson would do anything to help his human mate realize his destiny, including playing savior and invading Cameron’s dreams. When they finally meet face to face, all seems to go well. Then a member of the Helldorado Mongrels MC kidnaps Cameron, putting Cameron in mortal danger again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">While restrained, Cameron is told a fantastical story of werewolves, which has to be myth…right? Yet memories flare to life—visions of bites and kisses—making him question everything about Gabe. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Can Cameron and Gabe’s cosmic connection, their choices, and their love surpass the secrets Gabe has and the Mongrels’ evil plans?</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Cameron rubbed his clammy hands against thighs and took a deep breath. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">The handsome man strode forward, his hand outstretched. “Hello. I’m Gabe, the tour guide.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;"><i>Holy shit. His eyes are sexy. Bedroom like. Almost wolfish. The way I’ve always dreamt them.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">“Cameron.” He accepted Gabe’s handshake, and when their skin made contact, a sharp, electric sensation zapped Cameron hard.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">An acrid, burning scent filled Cameron’s nose. The smell reminded him of the time his platoon had been out in the field for a training exercise during a rainy season. Lightning had struck close by the camp. Too near for comfort. All the men had complained about the ozone stink.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Had he been hit by a random bolt? A peek at the sky revealed not a cloud in sight. He took another lungful of air. Slowly the burnt fragrance interchanged with a faint pleasant smell. He could barely make it out, but it kind of reminded him of the holidays.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">What he perceived as reality seemed to morph, bringing the time in his youth when he’d first seen the man at the campfire to touch upon the present moment where the man, Gabe, now stood. Once again, Cameron couldn’t help feeling like they were connected in some kind of cosmic way and that he <i>knew</i> the man who stood before him. Knew all his loves and hates, his quirks, the way the man would look at him with a dark and sultry, passion-filled gaze after they made love. Feeling like something clicked into place within him, it was as if Cameron had found a piece of his soul that he hadn’t realized was missing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;"><i>Just like I felt years ago. But how could</i>Gabe <i>be</i> him<i>?</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">The whole situation struck him as being uncanny, but so <i>right</i> at the same time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;"><i>Well said, Mate.</i> The inner voice sounded like Gabe’s.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">Cameron’s heart skipped a beat at the unbidden thought that popped into his head. Fighting the lust coiling within him and trying to calm his heart so it wouldn’t bang out of his chest, he reluctantly released Gabe’s hand.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">“It’s such a pleasure to meet you, Cameron.” Gabe smiled.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;"><i>There’s that grin I love.</i> Cameron could have sworn the world slipped away and just the two of them were left. Him, alone with a stranger who wasn’t a stranger. He wanted to believe he stood before the love of his life, but he needed hard, tangible proof Gabe was who Cameron hoped he was. Not just some mystical, wishful thinking or facial expressions anyone could offer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "perpetua"; font-size: 17pt;">“Same,” Cameron managed to croak, then he cocked his head. Maybe if he played it cool and poked around with the right questions, he could figure out what the hell was going on. “We’ve met before, haven’t we? I feel I’ve seen you somewhere, like we already know each other.”</span><br />

<span style="background: white; margin: 0px;">Justice needs to start afresh someplace her abusive ex can’t
find or hurt her and her son anymore. Just her luck to be stranded in Scenic
Falls, Montana where, instead of being faceless people in the big city, they
stick out like sore thumbs. Being so conspicuous and drawing everyone’s
attention, especially that of hot cattle rancher, Hank, means they can’t stay.
No matter how much it feels like home.</span></div>

<span style="background: white; margin: 0px;">Hank was born, raised, and plans to die in Scenic Falls. What
he doesn’t need is to obsess over the city woman who’s come to town and no
doubt would soon move on. Then Justice becomes his live-in cook and bookkeeper
and, despite knowing she has secrets she won’t share, Hank realizes he’ll do
anything to make her stay in the small town, and with him. That is, until

Excerpt:</b><br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">Justice
studied the worn menu. What she really wanted was a nice, juicy, medium-well-done
steak with a side of scrambled eggs. Her stomach groaned with just the thought
of it. She saw the price, fifteen dollars. That wasn’t a lot of money, but her
funds were rapidly depleting. They were still saying at the bed and breakfast
and, at sixty-nine dollars a night for the past two months, had taken up a
hefty chunk of her money. Luckily Abigale provided breakfast every morning and
even though she wasn’t obligated to, cooked dinner every night except the
weekends.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">Justice
also had to spend money on new clothes. Well, not new-new, but new to her.
She’d gotten them from a secondhand shop for a bargain, but money was spent
just the same. All in all she only had a little over three thousand dollars
left.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">What she
needed was a job.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">But a job
meant setting down roots. Which meant supplying her driver’s license and social
security number. Both were a way for Tyler to find her and TJ. She’d known that
this was inevitable, but she was sure that the ten thousand dollars she’d taken
from Tyler’s safe would’ve been enough to support her and TJ a little while
longer. She’d wanted to get the extra five thousand from her own savings
account but waiting until the bank opened in the morning hadn’t been an option
at the time.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">If she was
feeling lucky, she could go to the bank here in town and withdrawal money from
her account. But she wasn’t feeling that lucky. Tyler had access to her bank
account and would see on the statement exactly where she’d withdrawn the money
from. Nope. Not an option.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“Um, water
with lemon and a side of toast please.” Her stomach grumbled in protest.
Tonight was not one of the nights when Abigale cooked dinner, but she would
survive until the morning.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“Water and
toast?” Madeline frowned. “That’s not a healthy lunch.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">Justice
stored the menus back in their spot. “I had a large breakfast. Abigale makes
sure of it.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">That
seemed to please Madeline, because the frown dropped from her face. “I can
attest to that. Abbie sure loves to cook breakfast. That’s one of the reasons
she started her B&B in the first place.” Madeline stuffed her notepad in
her pocket. “And of course chocolate milk for the young man here.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“Yes!” TJ
beamed.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“TJ, don’t
yell. These good people want to eat in peace and quiet.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“He’s not
bothering anyone,” came a low voice from the booth behind theirs.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">That was
the only invitation that TJ needed to pop up from his knees and press his
stomach against the back of his seat to stare at the man. “Hi, my name is TJ.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">The man
adjusted in his seat to look at TJ. “Nice to meet you, sir.” He held out a hand
and shook TJ’s.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“He’s my
son,” Justice interrupted.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">The man
tilted his head at her. He had brown hair, with streaks of blond, curling
around his ears. Dark-green eyes that seemed to smile. Full lips and stubble
around his mouth and chin and on his cheeks gave him that rustic look. Like everyone
else in this town, there was a little twang to his accent. And when he smiled
at TJ, two dimples appeared in his cheeks.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“Hank, do
you need anything else?” Madeline asked him.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">Hank
released TJ’s hand. “Nope. I’m good. I’m about to head back to work. Been gone
long enough now.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">Madeline
let out a snort and walked away.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“TJ, turn
back around. Let the nice man finish his meal,” Justice said.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“He’s
fine,” Hank said. “Not bothering anyone.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">Justice
could’ve kept her gaze on Hank forever, but she lowered her eyes. That didn’t
matter because his image seemed as though it was burned within her mind.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“I’m
getting chicken nuggets,” TJ explained.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“So I
heard. You like them, huh?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“Mm mm
mm.” TJ said, while rubbing his stomach.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“That’s
enough now.” Justice said. Even though he’d said TJ wasn’t bothering anyone,
Justice wanted him to mind his business just the same. TJ liked to talk to
everyone about everything and before he started talking about his father and
Brooklyn, Justice wanted him to stop. “Turn around and sit.” She reached into
her bag to retrieve the coloring book and crayons that she’d gotten used to
keeping on her.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“Ma’am, I
said—”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“I know
what you said. But it’s still rude.” She placed the items on the table and TJ
turned and sat. Justice blew out a silent breath. TJ liked to talk, but he
liked to color even more.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">Hank got
up from his seat with a red cap in hand. Justice tried not to look at his face.
She talked about rudeness, but she really had been the rude one. He hadn’t done
anything to her and her tone had been less than friendly.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">“Good bye,
little man,” he said. “And have a nice day, Miss.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;">She still
didn’t look at him. Guilt made her look at his booted feet. “You too.”</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
The big break Trudy Hollander’s small
accounting firm needs has finally arrived, but unfortunately it comes with
murder, mayhem and Kristof Farkas, a man she just can’t seem to resist. Even
worse, Kristof is the CFO of Dark Wolf Enterprises—the one person who can pull
the plug on the job that will take her company to the next level.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Then there are the assassins who can
jump from three stories up and still be able to run away…</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Kristof has no intention of giving in
to his inner wolf and claiming Trudy. She’s human. Too fragile to withstand
being a shifter’s mate. But the need to protect her is stronger than his
resolve, and his desire is more powerful yet. He’ll fight with everything he
has to keep her safe, both from those who would hurt her, and from himself.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> She was going to die. There was a man-wolf killer
outside and a pilot-kidnapper in here.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> Another glance outside and Kristof stood, as a man,
watching her. A naked man. A wonderfully naked man.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> She shook her head.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> Wolf-beast.
That’s what he is.</span></i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “Trudy. Open the hatch. I’m coming back up,” he yelled
out to her.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> Was she supposed to let him back in? He hadn’t said
anything about that.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> She chewed on her lower lip, waiting for an answer she
couldn’t think of. If she opened the door, would he attack her? Was he a rabid
beast who couldn’t control himself?</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> She shook her head. “No. You said not to open the
hatch.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “I meant don’t open the hatch for them.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “Since I know your secret, are you going to kill me
now?”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “Don’t be silly. It’s cold out here. Open the hatch.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<i>Should I let him back in?</i></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “Are the pilots still alive?” he asked.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> Her gaze shot back to the cockpit. “Yes. But not for
long,” she yelled, loud enough for the pilots to hear.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “I’m naked and it’s about thirty degrees out here. Can
you please let me in?”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “Wh-what about your super-human heating abilities?
Aren’t you supposed to be so hot that’d you’d melt snow?”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> He cocked his head to the side. </span>“This is not some young adult story about Wolf-Shifters and sparkly Vampires.<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;">I’m freezing
my ass off.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “If he kills me, I’m going to be so pissed,” she
mumbled to herself.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> With the gun trained on the cockpit, she slowly walked
to the hatch. There, she unlocked it and opened the door for him.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> Kristof jumped and grasped the edge of the plane. With
a grunt, he hauled himself up and through the opening. His body was streaked
with blood. He looked…deadly. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> She startled and fell back. She aimed the gun at him.
“Don’t hurt me.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “Trudy, darling.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> She stared at him. </span><span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;">“Y-yes.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “If you’re going to shoot me, I’d rather you aim for
my head and get it over with quickly.”</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> Her gaze followed the path of her aim. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Aw shit.</i> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> “My other head,” he said softly.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> Trudy dropped her jaw and she stared at him—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all</i></span><span style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; margin: 0px;"> of him. He
was big, thick and swinging gloriously in front of her.</span></div>

Excerpt:</div>
<div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
Toni flicked her gaze from her phone to the man standing
above her with every intention of telling him the same thing she’d told the
others. As soon as she looked up, her heart seized on a beat and her breath
formed a lump in her throat. Toni not only stared at who was possibly the
finest man she’d ever seen in her life, but also one she hadn’t seen in eleven
years. </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ahmad Espen. </i></div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
A vision of the last time he’d talked to her flashed across
her mind and was just what she needed to close her gaping mouth and firm her
back. She stared back at him, waiting for…for what exactly? For him to mention
what had happened between them? For him to apologize? </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
He smiled down at her, flashing bright white teeth. “I’m
sorry to disturb you, miss. But I saw you sitting all alone back here and
thought you could use some company.” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Miss? Company? </i></div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
She didn’t know if she should be mad or glad. He didn’t seem
to recognize her. On one hand, she didn’t have to relive the embarrassment but
on the other, he’d dismissed their last encounter, while she’d held onto it for
all these years. </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
“I-I’m…um. I don’t need company.” Did she just stutter? She
wanted to slap a hand across her forehead. She gripped her cell phone tightly
to stop herself from doing just that and making a bigger fool of herself. </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
When she’d been a freshman in college and he’d been the sexy
and worldly junior, she’d had the same reaction—stumbling, bumbling idiot. Get
it together, Toni. She wasn’t a green little girl anymore. </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
“Well, if you don’t want me to sit with you, can I have this
dance?” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
If she were any other woman at the party, she would’ve
gladly jumped up and taken him up on his offer. But while everyone knew Ahmad
as an African-American motivational speaker who’d sprung onto the scene five
years before, attracting more followers to his ‘black community self-help’
doctrine, Toni knew him as a promiscuous, rowdy fraternity boy. While Toni
admired his topic, the man behind the words often left a bad taste in her
mouth. Every time she saw him on television talking about his main agenda, the
state of the African American community and the need to revitalize and energize
the younger generation, she couldn’t help but remember how he’d treated her.
“Why?” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
He took a quick glance around. “You’re the only person not
on the dance floor or mingling.” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
She smiled up at him like she’d done to the other men.
Everyone else in the room could worship at his feet. They thought he was so
great, so perfect. “No, thank you. I’m watching the drinks and purses,” she
said, but what she really wanted to tell him was to go to hell. </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
The emotion on his face quickly went from enamored to
confused. “All I’m asking for is one dance.” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
She’d once given him a dance and she’d let that go to her
head and let him sweet talk her into his twin-sized bed. Well, there hadn’t
really been that much sweet talking involved, it hadn’t been needed. She
would’ve gone with him even if he’d recited the alphabet. “I’m not much of a
dancer.” The lie quickly fell from her mouth. </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
“Sooo.” He motioned his hand through the air. “You’re at a
singles mingle—dance party, I might add—and you can’t dance?” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
As she shook her head, her hair bounced around her face.
“No, I can’t. Not a lick.” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
“So, that’s your excuse for turning down everyone who asked
you to dance?” </div>
<div style="margin: 4px 0px 0px;">
She peered straight into his eyes. “Yes.” It was a good
thing that she’d long gotten over wanting to poke his eyes out with a rusty
fork because he was in arm’s reach and there was a fork, albeit not rusty, on
her table.</div>

<i>She’s a widow. He’s a reformed player. One passionate night changes them both forever. </i>
Toni Harrison isn’t buying anything Ahmad Espen is selling. Everyone considers him the savior of the African American community but she knows him as a heartless player and plans to steer clear of him. The only problem is her sister and Ahmad’s brother are smitten with each other and despite Toni’s attempts otherwise, she constantly finds herself in Ahmad’s presence.
Ahmad understands why Toni is wary of him, but he’s a totally different man from the boy she knew in college. Now he’s determined to push past all her defenses to gain her trust. When he finally does, one passionate night with her confirms she’s the perfect woman for him.
Yet it seems there’s no fairy-tale ending for them, as Ahmad and Toni find out the hard way. Someone is out to destroy their relationship, along with Ahmad’s good name and Toni’s privacy. Once more Toni has good reason to distance herself from Ahmad, since he blames her for the whole mess. Heartbroken again, she walks away, and by the time he comes to his senses, he realizes it may well be too late to rewrite their love story to give it a happy ending.

Toni flicked her gaze from her phone to the man standing above her with every intention of telling him the same thing she’d told the others. As soon as she looked up, her heart seized on a beat and her breath formed a lump in her throat. Toni not only stared at who was possibly the finest man she’d ever seen in her life, but also one she hadn’t seen in eleven years.
<i>Ahmad Espen. </i>
A vision of the last time he’d talked to her flashed across her mind and was just what she needed to close her gaping mouth and firm her back. She stared back at him, waiting for…for what exactly? For him to mention what had happened between them? For him to apologize?
He smiled down at her, flashing bright white teeth. “I’m sorry to disturb you, miss. But I saw you sitting all alone back here and thought you could use some company.”
<i>Miss? Company? </i>
She didn’t know if she should be mad or glad. He didn’t seem to recognize her. On one hand, she didn’t have to relive the embarrassment but on the other, he’d dismissed their last encounter, while she’d held onto it for all these years.
“I-I’m…um. I don’t need company.” Did she just stutter? She wanted to slap a hand across her forehead. She gripped her cell phone tightly to stop herself from doing just that and making a bigger fool of herself.
When she’d been a freshman in college and he’d been the sexy and worldly junior, she’d had the same reaction—stumbling, bumbling idiot. Get it together, Toni. She wasn’t a green little girl anymore.
“Well, if you don’t want me to sit with you, can I have this dance?”
If she were any other woman at the party, she would’ve gladly jumped up and taken him up on his offer. But while everyone knew Ahmad as an African-American motivational speaker who’d sprung onto the scene five years before, attracting more followers to his ‘black community self-help’ doctrine, Toni knew him as a promiscuous, rowdy fraternity boy. While Toni admired his topic, the man behind the words often left a bad taste in her mouth. Every time she saw him on television talking about his main agenda, the state of the African American community and the need to revitalize and energize the younger generation, she couldn’t help but remember how he’d treated her. “Why?”
He took a quick glance around. “You’re the only person not on the dance floor or mingling.”
She smiled up at him like she’d done to the other men. Everyone else in the room could worship at his feet. They thought he was so great, so perfect. “No, thank you. I’m watching the drinks and purses,” she said, but what she really wanted to tell him was to go to hell.
The emotion on his face quickly went from enamored to confused. “All I’m asking for is one dance.”
She’d once given him a dance and she’d let that go to her head and let him sweet talk her into his twin-sized bed. Well, there hadn’t really been that much sweet talking involved, it hadn’t been needed. She would’ve gone with him even if he’d recited the alphabet. “I’m not much of a dancer.” The lie quickly fell from her mouth.
“Sooo.” He motioned his hand through the air. “You’re at a singles mingle—dance party, I might add—and you can’t dance?”
As she shook her head, her hair bounced around her face. “No, I can’t. Not a lick.”
“So, that’s your excuse for turning down everyone who asked you to dance?”
She peered straight into his eyes. “Yes.” It was a good thing that she’d long gotten over wanting to poke his eyes out with a rusty fork because he was in arm’s reach and there was a fork, albeit not rusty, on her table.

NEW RELEASESHey ya'll,<br />
<br />
I've been a busy bee. (look at me being all productive and shit). I have 3 new releases coming up and of course I'm waiting until the last minute to get my stuff together. Scheduling tweets, putting together newsletters, reaching out to book tour companies and writing this blog post takes time. Probably 'tis why I always wait until the last second and then run around like a crazy person trying to pull everything together. <br />
<br />
This life tho, I wouldn't change it for the world.<br />
<br />
Behold! My new lovelies!<br />

<em>S</em><em>he’s a widow. He’s a reformed player. One passionate night changes them both forever.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
Toni Harrison isn’t buying anything Ahmad Espen is selling. Everyone considers him the savior of the African American community but she knows him as a heartless player and plans to steer clear of him. The only problem is her sister and Ahmad’s brother are smitten with each other and despite Toni’s attempts otherwise, she constantly finds herself in Ahmad’s presence.<br />
Ahmad understands why Toni is wary of him, but he’s a totally different man from the boy she knew in college. Now he’s determined to push past all her defenses to gain her trust. When he finally does, one passionate night with her confirms she’s the perfect woman for him.<br />
Yet it seems there’s no fairy-tale ending for them, as Ahmad and Toni find out the hard way. Someone is out to destroy their relationship, along with Ahmad’s good name and Toni’s privacy. Once more Toni has good reason to distance herself from Ahmad, since he blames her for the whole mess. Heartbroken again, she walks away, and by the time he comes to his senses, he realizes it may well be too late to rewrite their love story to give it a happy ending.<br />

I’ve solved cases for the most powerful Vampire in the Undercity and for the Lycan Alpha, proving my worth as a PI. Despite being a half-breed and unclassed, work should be rolling in… <br />Yet it isn’t, and I don’t know why. And as if that’s not stressful enough, my mom starts acting so weird it makes me suspicious. Friends say she’s just starting to live a little—maybe even, ugh, found a boyfriend—but I’m not sure. So what’s a PI to do? Investigate, of course. I mean, come on, Momma’s taken care of me my whole life. Now it’s up to me to make sure she’s okay. <br />What I discover is so outrageous it leaves me reeling, but I don’t care if once a thief, always a thief, there are some things too precious to allow to be stolen. I’ll do whatever’s necessary to make things right, even walk away from everything I’ve achieved—and the Undercity itself.</div>

In many ways, my life is complete, or as complete as it can be with aliens roaming Earth, killing and enslaving humans. Jason, my love, is by my side, and my friendship with Wade is back on track. Even better, it seems the threats of annihilation from the aliens have turned out to be nothing but hot air. <br /><br />Yet, despite the peace of our Arrowwood refuge, there is still a war waging outside, something I’ve tried not to think too much about. Just as I’ve ignored the fact that a sanctuary can also be a prison, or a tomb, we are forced to step out of safety and live or die, in danger’s embrace. </div>

Hi All!<br />
<br />
My super new urban fantasy is kicking off this month. Woot! I have many, many stories planned for this series, so many that I had to space them out. The words flow like water. The first 4 will be released in 2016. No worries, they are already written and ready to go.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to introduce you to Babylonia Delilah Jones. She's a fierce, don't take no shit kinda woman. Before I'd written the first word in the first story I'd already come up with this...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><em>I am a proud and sometimes wild woman. Meek and mild
have never been words to describe me. Since I was younger I knew I was
different. Even when I pretended to be normal and ordinary, different resonated within my bones.<o:p></o:p></em></span><br />
<em>
</em><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><em>The wind whispered past my ears, birds sang melodies
just for me, flowers bloomed in my presence and animals told me secrets.<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<em>

Writing these stories were such a blast and to be able to work with such a wonderful cover artist was the absolute best.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt;">
What does a woman have to do to prove she belongs in the
Undercity? Sure, I’m unclassed and only half paranormal, but that doesn’t mean
I can’t solve cases. Since the established PI’s won’t acknowledge my right to a
territory, I’m taking jobs from whoever will hire me, doing what I do
best…proving myself to be a bad-ass problem solver. Which is how I find myself
breaking into Zaid’s house, looking for a talisman my witch client says the
very powerful vampire stole.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt;">
Now, I can make flowers grow, hear the wind’s whispers and
talk to animals, but I don’t have the gift of seeing the future. If I did, I’d
have known not to take this case. Because no matter the outcome, nothing good
can come from messing with the Guicai Talisman, or it’s far too gorgeous
guardian.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt;">
Being hired by the Alpha of the Lycan pack to solve the
mystery of his son’s death could make my name as a PI in the Undercity—if it
doesn’t get me killed first. Not only am I looking for a perp who obviously
won’t hesitate to commit murder, but even before I get working on the problem
I’m being threatened. That’s not going to stop me though. Neither is
interference from Zaid, the hot Vampire who keeps popping up at the most
inopportune times.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt;">
Yet this turns out to be anything but a straightforward
case. I’m learning more about the workings of the Undercity than ever before,
and what I’m finding out is pretty ugly. It’s making me question everything I
thought I knew about the Houses, and what I’m missing by not being claimed by
my father. But that may well be a question I won’t get a chance to ponder,
because even tapping into every ability I possess might not be enough to help
me survive the Lycan Job.</div>

What I discover is so outrageous it leaves me reeling, but I don’t care if once

Hey All,<br />
<br />
Please join me in welcoming a sci-fi buddy, the lovely Mrs. Cara Bristol. My question to her was: What inspired you to write Mated With The Cyborg and the Cy-Ops Sci-Fi series?<br />
<br />
Cara:
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 115%;">I love cyborgs. They’re
human beings who look fully human, but have been augmented by computer and/or
mechanical parts. To me, they represent the ultimate alpha hero: strong,
dominant. They’re tough as nails until they meet the heroine, whereupon they
fall hard. In most sci-fi romances, cyborgs are created by an evil government
who forces them to fight their wars. I wanted to offer something different.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 115%;">My cyborgs are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">spies</i>. Think of them as a cross between
James Bond and the Terminator (the good one from Terminator 2, not the bad one
from the first movie). They’re cyber operatives in a covert paramilitary force
who are fighting against terrorism in the galaxy. The terrorism part was
inspired by present day threats (although I finished writing the book before
the attacks in France).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 115%;">In <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mated with the Cyborg</i>, the hero does undercover on an enemy space
station, where he meets the villain’s innocent daughter. When he learns her father
wants her dead, he’s forced to choose between his mission and saving her life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 115%;">I’d written one other
sci-fi series, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Breeder</i>, but in this Cy-Ops,
I wanted to challenge myself by writing a romance that is also a bit of a space
opera with space craft, space stations, alien planets, futuristic weapons, and
lots of explosions. Lol. Besides cyborgs, readers will meet androids and aliens
of all persuasions. (<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a> I still want to emphasize that this
is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">romance</i>).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the coolest venues
is the Darius 4 Pleasure resort, which is staffed by android pleasure workers.
I mention it in book 1,<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stranded with the
Cyborg</i>, but it serves as one of the key settings in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mated with the Cyborg</i>. Readers will get to see what really goes on
there—and should expect a surprise. Muwhaha…</span></div>

the last summons. Why had her father called her? Perspiration slickened her
palms, and she had to concentrate to avoid wiping them and leaving a telltale
stain on her clothing. The only thing worse than being afraid was showing it.
At least her voluminous skirt hid her wobbling knees. Outside her father’s
fortified headquarters, she halted and took a deep breath. I can do this. I can
do this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm Outing Myself!</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, around this time last year I got the itch to write a bunch of monster porn (because that's totally normal). Like, who wouldn't want to write monster porn? I talked it over with some writer friends, and after emails and emails where we discussed scenarios and ideas and a lot of belly laughter I came up with 8 different stories. But that wasn't the best part of it. The best part was coming up with my alias, "B.A. Thruster". Because, why not? ROFL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a ton of fun with B.A. Thruster. I even made up an author profile and everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But what fun is there to have this great alter ego and I couldn't promote it anything? Well, that's why I decided to out myself. I really want to just put it out there so that I can talk about B.A. and the stories he writes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, hello *waves*. Meet B.A. Thruster, my awesome alter ego.</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">~~~~~~~~~~~~~<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri Light;"><span style="color: #2e74b5; font-size: large;">Migraines, Cannibalism, and the Ungodly in </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #2e74b5;">Obsidian Worlds<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I first started writing the sci-fi short stories in my
anthology, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Obsidian Worlds</i>, I was
more concerned with having fun than conveying a serious message to readers. I’d
just finished writing and releasing my novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hedon</i>, and the idea of playing with a quick project – a short story
under 5,000 words – seemed like a blissful retreat from the rigors of producing
a novel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In a previous lifetime, I ran a software development
business. I learned quickly that the more employees involved in a decision, or
executing a task, the greater the risk of error. The more complex things are,
the greater the chance they’ll crash and burn. And this is true of writing
fiction too. Writing a full length novel yields far more possibilities for
inconsistencies, inaccuracies, and typos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So when I got round to writing the first story in the
anthology, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Your Averaged Joe</i>, I was
thrilled that I could construct a world quickly and easily without worrying
about systematic problems. I let my mind roam, and write whatever it liked.
Around the same time, I experienced my first migraine. And let me tell you, it
was an ungodly experience. In fact, after four hours of it, if I was ever in
doubt before, I was now entirely certain that there was no God. To process the
experience, I wrote <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Your Averaged Joe</i>,
about a man who (surprise) has a migraine. But his headache is so bad, it grows
large enough to contain the multiverse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Your Averaged Joe </i>started
a trend. I began writing more and more shorts, each about a radically different
world. But all of the worlds shared a common feature– they took a feeling, a
whim, and expanded it to its logical conclusion in a world where that whim was the
norm. I wrote <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dinner with Flexi </i>after
spending an afternoon with a group of gay friends (I’m gay too, by the way). As
the afternoon progressed, I realized that many of the jokes revolved around
misogyny, and specifically, around degrading the female body. When something smelled
dubious in the kitchen, they’d say it smelled of vagina. They’d talk about
online gay male dating profiles that specified “no fems” when they talked about
the men they were interested in. They talked about breasts as if they were
alien creations, meant purely for breastfeeding, and couldn’t possibly be
*gasp* pleasant or pleasurable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That afternoon started me thinking. What would the world be
like if this sort of misogyny were both ubiquitous and explicit; if men both
expressed and acted on this sort of hatred of women? And the answer was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dinner with Flexi</i>, a world in which
women are removed from society, and farmed for their meat and “mammary sauce”.
Women are cannibalized, and replaced with female sex bots to satisfy the
remaining men. The story is set form the perspective of one of these bots,
Flexi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The anthology began to take shape around the idea of the
ungodly. Joe, the man with the multiverse-containing migraine, is a sort of
God. And the world of Flexi is, if nothing else, ungodly awful. So I wrote <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Visiting Grandpa’s Brain</i>, one of the
shorter shorts in the anthology. The story is about a world where The End of
Days has arrived, the undead have risen up, and the Vatican has achieved world
domination. To get with the times, the Vatican possesses the world’s largest
search engine, named “Zoogle©” (we all know who this is), and replaces Zoogle’s
servers with the brains of the elderly to perform its internet searches. The
story is vitriolic in its irreverence, depicting the church as megalomanic
zombie-worshipping institution, exploiting the goodwill of the elderly, and
perverting the sanctity of the body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The remaining stories in the anthology flowed from there.
Each of them (eleven in total) involve extreme, bizarre, mind-bending thought
experiments that extract some core feature of our current society, and magnify
it to an absurd conclusion, usually with unholy results. I loved writing the
book – at times it felt so good, I felt guilty writing it. And so far, readers

a man’s headache is large enough to hold the multiverse. Q46F is an
obsessive-compulsive android who finds love in a zombie-embroiled apocalypse.
The end of the world isn’t all that bad – The Experience Machine will fulfil
your every desire (and some you hadn’t considered). A sex bot dares to dream of
freedom in Dinner with Flexi. But mind what you eat, because The Photons in the
Cheese Are Lost. Don’t fret though: The Cryo Killer guarantees that your death
will be painless, or your money back when you’re thawed. Unless, that is,
you’re The Man with Two Legs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and jostled against the almost-smooth interior of the box, as I’m carried
through the aisles. My new owner places me on the till. The other products and
I have talked about this day. Wondered when our time would come. The time to be
purchased.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Fleshy and warm. Her lips curl into a smile, before she places me at the back
of a dark shelf. The other lubes at the store told me this would happen. Life’s
not all action for us. But when our owners take us for a night out of the
closet, the world comes alive. Or that’s what the other lubes say.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bride Takes a
Powder</i> features a big city runaway bride and a small town English teacher
whose family also owns a local bar. Norah opens her eyes on the train and sees
a sign—Birchwood Falls-You've Come Home. This is where I thought of the musical
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Brigadoon</i>, which I finally saw on
stage last summer after waiting for decades. I know all the music and lyrics to
this play. It was all I could do not to sing aloud in the theater. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Brigadoon</i> is about a magical Scottish
town that appears from the mist one day every century. "Two weary
hunters" come upon the town and its inhabitants, and love and music
ensues.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Anyway, back to my story—taking that as an omen, she climbs
off the train and finds a completely different life from what she's used to.
Mike remembers the new woman in town from college, but back then she was way
out of his league. Norah doesn't plan to let another man—no matter how sweet,
smart and sexy—get close enough to hurt her again. But Mike's passionate
pursuit of her, the way he seems to know just how to arouse her, awakens a sexual
hunger she didn't know she had.<o:p></o:p></div>

I've always loved the idea of small towns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I grew up in one but have lived in the big
city for more years than I did in the small town.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm not sure I could re-acclimate to a small
town after all these years, so I'll write about them and about the people who
live there.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bride Takes a
Powder</i> is a companion novel to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Gunny & The Jazz Singer</i>. Both books take place in Birchwood Falls. I
created the small town, and because I love birch trees I named it Birchwood Falls
and even drew a site plan for the town. The inspiration for the map came from
Jan Karon's Mitford series. If you've read her books you know the main
character is an Episcopal priest so very different types of books from what I
write. But I do love the maps of Mitford in the front of the books. <o:p></o:p></div>

Michael Banning spots the new woman in town and recognizes
her from college. She's even more gorgeous and sophisticated now. He's no
longer the nerd he was back then, and now that she's on his turf, he's going to
touch and taste every sleek, beautiful inch of her. Whatever her reason is for
being in his town, he'll fulfill all her desires so she never wants to leave.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">An R-rated excerpt -<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p>"Mike, touch me," she huskily demanded.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
"Oh, baby, yes. He kissed the smooth softness, nibbling
his way along the edge of the material. Through the lace he brushed his finger
over a nipple, as hard as a gemstone. He heard her sharp huff of breath that
focused all his conscious attention on that little erect bud. Squeezing it, he
hoped the friction of the lace aroused her as much as she was arousing him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
"Mike…"<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Yes. Her moan told him everything. She cupped the mound in
her palm, offering him her breast. "Please touch me. Suck my nipple."
Her eyes now pled her need.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
"My pleasure." Front bra clasp. Hallelujah! He
flicked the lace cups apart and sucked the pale bud into his mouth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
"God," she whimpered, arching, pushing his nose
into the soft pillow of her flesh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Embracing her other breast in his hand, he suckled her
nipple until she writhed against him, cupping his ears to hold him there. Oh,
baby, I'm not going anywhere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Except… Enough of this. He lifted her, placing her gently on
the bed. "I need to see all of you, darlin'." Desperately. Peeling
her blouse off her shoulders, down her arms, he started on the closure of her
jeans, got the zipper open and felt his heart stutter. Be cool. Remember
foreplay. Matching yellow lacy panties. "Norah Ballard, I applaud your
underwear," he breathed<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
She giggled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
He glanced up, her stomach bounced with her chuckles, but
his smile died at the sight of her naked from her panties up. "Oh
God." She watched him, her arms at her sides, fingers clutching the
bedding. Every man's wet dream, the sight of her bra open and fallen to her
sides, of her beautiful breasts with their pretty puckered tips, smooth skin
flowing down a flat belly, and lace panties covering her mound, constricted his
throat. Kneeling back, he slid her high heels and jeans off in one fell swoop,
and tossed them on the floor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Lace covered fair pubic hair, and the crotch of her panties
looked damp. "Whoa, baby." Through the sheer material he could see
puffy swollen lips and a pink clit. He couldn't take his eyes off her. His
mouth watered with wanting to taste her pussy, to claim those soft puffy lips,
to suckle her. He choked back an inconvenient laugh. Nothing was funny about
this. It was amazing and intense.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
"What's the matter?" she whispered.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
"Nothing, honey. You're the sexiest thing I've ever
seen." He traced a forefinger over the elastic slung low across her belly,
then drew a finger along the the slit between the thick springy pussy hairs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
"Oh," came out on a soft breath.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
There seemed to be some confusion mixed in with arousal. Did
she truly not understand how hot she looked? Well, he was here to show her, and
he honestly didn't care if she ever touched him. He was going to concentrate on
her body, soft and firm, quivering in arousal.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">About Jane<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Sensual fantasies were locked in my mind for years until a
friend said, "Why don't you write them down?" Why not, indeed? One
spiral notebook, a pen, and the unleashing of my imagination later, and here I
am with nineteen books published. The craft of writing sensual romance has
become my passion and my niche in life. I love every part of the creative
process—developing characters, designing the plot, even drawing the layout of
physical spaces from my stories. My careers have been varied—third grade school
teacher, bookkeeper, secretary—none of which gave me a bit of inspiration. But
now I'm lucky enough to write romance full time—the best job in the universe!
And I'm fortunate enough to have found my own happily ever after love.<o:p></o:p></div>

about yourself (ie your education Family life etc ):<o:p></o:p></strong></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I live
in Cleveland, Ohio—which is way too cold in winter for my tastes, but Chicago
is my dream city and it’s just as cold, so I’m crazy in that respect. I have an
adult son and an adult cat who still acts like a kitten. I’m a self-taught writer
and I’ve never wanted to do anything with my life except write. Unfortunately,
it doesn’t pay the bills yet, so I’m also a bartender and I’ve worked in bars
and restaurants for nearly a decade. I write mostly urban fantasy and
paranormal romance, but I also dabble in contemporary romance and erotica.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>Tell us your latest news?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
The second novel in my Siren Song urban fantasy series, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bloody City</i>, was just released on
November 10<sup>th</sup>. The third book in the series, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Burning City</i>, will be released in July 2016. I’m also working
on a fourth book. The first book in the series, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Wicked City</i>, recently won best urban fantasy at The Romance
Reviews Readers’ Choice Awards. I’m very happy with this series and how well
it’s been received, especially since I’m a new author. I’m going to keep
writing it until the characters stop talking to me.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>When did you first consider yourself a writer?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
I started writing as a teenager in high school—I used to write
stories in notebooks and share them with my friends. I was terrible at it back
then, but from the moment I started writing my first story, I knew it was what
I wanted to do. Writing felt natural. I think I was born a writer and I was
fortunate enough to figure it out early in life. I always loved working on
essays and creative writing assignments when I was in elementary school, too.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>What inspired you to write your first book?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
I’m not sure if this means the first book I ever wrote
(which I still remember and cringe at) or the first book I got published, but
either way it’s hard to simplify it. Ideas for books come from many different
places and it’s not just one idea that creates an entire book. Books are born
from an idea, but many ideas pop up along the way to move the events in the
story forward. I always loved Chicago and wanted to write a series set there, so
that’s how I got started on this one.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>Do you have a specific writing style?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
I tend to have a ‘conversational’ style. People have told
me reading my writing is like listening to someone talk. It’s kind of blunt and
organic. I take it as a compliment. I want the reader to feel like I’m telling
them a story, after all.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>How did you come up with the title?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
The first book in the series, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Wicked City</i>, is a play on the term ‘The Windy City’ because
it’s set in Chicago. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Bloody City</i>
follows suit in keeping with the series theme and also because there’s a lot of
vampires in this book. Each book in the series will be called The ___ City.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>How much of the book is realistic?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
Many of the descriptions of Chicago are realistic,
because I’ve been there many times—though I did make up a few places. I also
tried to be ‘realistic’ in my depictions of how paranormal powers in this world
are scientifically explained. A lot of the series revolves around how science
treats paranormal people. I still use a good bit of magic and plain old
fictional storytelling, but I tried to give it a realistic feel.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>What book are you reading now?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
I’m reading Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. I don’t
know why it’s taken me so long to get around to it when he’s one of my favorite
authors. I want to get them all read before the movies come out!<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>What are your current projects?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
I’m working on the fourth book in the Siren Song series—even
though I intended it to be a trilogy, it didn’t quite work out that way. I’m
also an author for the City Nights series from Tirgearr Publishing, which is
contemporary erotic romance.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>Do you have any advice for other writers?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
Don’t give up. I spent a lot of years believing I would
never get to where I am today and doubting myself. I thought I would never be
published, let alone have a series published. The only way to assure you’ll
never get published is to give up completely. Keep learning, keep writing, and
keep trying.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 1em 0in;">
<strong>What TV shows/films do you enjoy watching?<o:p></o:p></strong></div>
I’m not a big fan of movies, but I watch a lot of TV
shows. Here is a short list of TV shows I watch/have watched in the past:
Vikings, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, Orange Is the New
Black, True Blood, Hell On Wheels, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Peaky
Blinders, Luther, Supernatural, Magic City, Sherlock…the list goes on and on.
As you can see, I don’t have any one genre I stick with!<o:p></o:p><br />

Coffin is out of hiding yet. In a world where being different can get you
killed, it’s best to keep a low profile. Especially for a Siren who can control
other people with the call of her voice. That goes double if your powers might
be inexplicably growing…</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222;">But June isn’t the only one trying to clear her

Cleveland, Ohio. Bartender in an airport lounge by day and purveyor of things

author of the Siren Song urban fantasy series from Kensington Books, as well as
numerous other shorter, sexy works. She resides on the shores of Lake Erie with

in a science fiction setting with elements of twisted horror, Future Winds is a
strange yet wondrous tale of species self preservation and the all out moral
cost of survival. Forced to leave earth, humanity discovers a planet capable of
supporting life and hatches an audacious plan that will warp them across the
universe to settle and begin anew. There is a darkness that resides below the
planet's surface, but with no option to turn back, humanity must find a way
forward.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">My name is
Kevin Laymon. My passions are space exploration, music, sailing, snowboarding,
wildlife, and of course writing. I have been writing for some time but the
focus has been primarily on short stories and dark poems strictly for personal
use. Future Winds is the first of a handful of novels I am working on for
publication. I grew up in upstate New York and have lived up and down the east
coast. New York is a location that holds a very special place in my heart.
After working a wide range of jobs that I hated for far too long, Sara my
significant other, and I decided earlier in 2015 to make some dramatic changes
and travel. We scraped together some cash, I quit my job, and we moved to
Albuquerque, New Mexico where we live a libertarian life as vegetarians. We
share our desertscape living quarters with an aquatic turtle named Taz and a
rabbit named BunBear. On October 9th 2015 Sara & I got married in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The sunshine in New Mexico has helped immensely in illuminating
a greater perspective as to who I am and what I was placed on this planet to
do; that is to teach and inspire. I have a hunger to awaken humanity so that we
may break away from our programed way of thinking. Our minds are powerful and I
encourage everyone to open them up, exercise them, and tap into the potential I
know every living man woman and child has. Though my stories at times can be
very dark there is a reason for everything I do. Perspective, perception, and
relativity are everything in the world of literature. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>AUTHOR Bio and Links:</strong>
<br />
Being an introvert doesn’t mean you have no voice. It just means you have the ability to communicate in different ways. For new author and champion introvert, Janice Jones, that way is writing. She began by reading anything she could get her hands on, but after college, she found herself in roles that required more business-focused writing than fiction. This didn’t stop her – she continued to create her own stories to feed her passion for the written word.
Honing her skills as a paralegal for several years, Janice continued to feed the beast by spending every spare minute she could creating the world of her first fictional character Alexa Stone. <br />
In Her Blood, the first book in the Dagger Chronicles series, will introduce New Adult Fiction readers to the adventures of an ex-assassin and vampire hunter as she returns to the fight after many years of hiding in plain sight.
The idea for In Her Blood came during a rough time in Janice’s life. Overcoming loss can be tough for anyone. For Janice, writing helped her focus and heal. As a tribute to her late sister, she had the opportunity to release a short story entitled “Dancing on a Sunday Afternoon” in 2009. Receiving positive feedback, she continued to write and focus on improving every way she could. Earning a Master’s in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University, Janice was encouraged to finish the Dagger Chronicles series and pursue publication. Rejections came, but she never quit. Now, her debut novel will soon have a place next to some of her favorite fiction.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">After
conflicts in Korea, Pakistan and the Middle East turned nuclear, the world
stood on the eve of destruction. Realizing that we only have this one precious
planet containing all of humanity, the United Nations pulled us back from the
brink, and started a new, multinational effort to conquer space. Many years
later, the peak of achievement for any young person is to be admitted to the
Space Academy. Previously available only to a precious few, it has recently
opened enrollment to anybody who can meet their strenuous entry criteria. Space
Cadets is the story of the first African-American girl, Aisha Parks, to enter
into the academy, where she learns that the more some things change, the more
they stay the same, and despite the honorable intentions of the academy, there
are some dark secrets being kept – secrets that could be the end of us all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Moroney is the author of more books than he’s prepared to admit. After several
best selling programming books, his first Young Adult novel “The Fourth World”
became a #1 book on Amazon Kindle, spawned two sequels “The Million Year
Journey” and “The Legend of the Locust”, and is currently being shopped around
studios for a potential movie. “Space Cadets” is his latest, a cutting edge
science fiction novel, based on real science that starts a new series charting
out humanity’s course to the stars. He’s presently working on the sequel “The
Quiet World”, which he hopes to finish in 2015. For his day job, Laurence works
as a Developer Advocate for Google, where he is constantly counting his
blessings for being part of the best workplace in the world…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">For more than two years they’ve been ghosts. Nothing but names on empty
tombstones. Men and women forced to fade into the background after being pulled
from the rubble. Dead Marines saved from a fate worse than death, but ordered
to stand down while their lives disappeared all around them.<br />
<br />
Some knew it could happen if a mission exploded. Double crossed by more than
just Red Wolf. But now is their time to be reborn from the flames of a Phoenix.
No longer imprisoned in the shadows. A half-life between them and their future.
To make things right coming back to life is their only option.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

explosion tore it apart, silence accompanied the roar. A silence so profound,
it threatened to swallow her. She remembered the first time the world swallowed
her. When it spit her back out, Brad and so many others were dead. The second
time, she’d woken beneath rubble and debris atop Cobalt—alone in the dark with
a dead man. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">National
bestselling author, Heather Long, likes long walks in the park, science
fiction, superheroes, Marines, and men who aren’t douche bags. Her books are
filled with heroes and heroines tangled in romance as hot as Texas summertime.
From paranormal historical westerns to contemporary military romance, Heather
might switch genres, but one thing is true in all of her stories—her characters
drive the books. When she’s not wrangling her menagerie of animals, she devotes
her time to family and friends she considers family. She believes if you like
your heroes so real you could lick the grit off their chest, and your heroines
so likable, you’re sure you’ve been friends with women just like them; you’ll
enjoy her worlds as much as she does.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wylde has always been fascinated by things better left in the dark. She wrote
her first story after watching The Exorcist at a slumber party. Since then,
she's published horror, romance and narrative nonfiction. Like all writers,
Saranna has held a variety of jobs, from operations supervisor for an airline,
to an assistant for a call girl, to a corrections officer. But like Hemingway
said, "Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only
death can stop it." So she traded in her cuffs for a full-time keyboard.
She loves to hear from her readers and to check out her contemporaries you can
find her at www.sarasasek.com <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The train, which had until then been
rumbling underfoot, jolted to a start, making Mr. Torres lose his balance. He
stumbled, and would have fallen on her if he hadn’t caught himself in time, one
hand on the back of the seat and the other flat against the window, his face
perilously close to hers. At this distance, she could see the tiny patch of
stubble by his ear that he’d missed while shaving, and the two freckles under
his right eye. An unexpected warmth stole through Emilia. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He righted himself and sat down beside
her, but not before she had caught a whiff of lavender-scented soap. His hair,
still damp from his recent bath, curled at the neck, right where it brushed his
collar. Emilia felt herself flushing slightly and turned to the window,
pretending to be interested in the view of the town as it rolled past. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But there was no ignoring him. She could
feel the warmth of his body all down her side, from her shoulder to her foot,
even though they were separated by some ten centimeters. Trying to look as
though she was glancing through the opposite window, she studied his profile.
Except for the bookish sultan, all the men in her stories were rakes and
scoundrels. There was nothing roguish about Ruben Torres. His hair was parted
on the side and slicked back with pomade, his collar neatly pressed and his hat
a sober black. He was nothing if not respectable. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

glance. He was of medium build, taller than her but not as tall and physically
imposing as Luis. But his shoulders were pleasantly broad and Emilia was all
too familiar with the sharp definition in his arms and the easy way he’d pulled
the boat through the water. He turned to her then and caught her looking. His
lips spread into a smile and he raised an eyebrow, saying, “Contemplating your
next assault?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Something inside her fluttered but she
pushed the sensation aside. There was, after all, was no reason why she should
feel so unsettled by his proximity. Trying to look as though she hadn’t been
admiring his arms, which were hidden by the sleeves of a dark charcoal suit,
she said, “Of course not. My dastardly plan is already in motion.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mick Wray savored her withering
reaction. He’d attended enough sci-fi cons to know how to push a fangirl’s
buttons. The first time he attended Liberty BellCon—a pimply thirteen, helping
his older brother cart a boxful of Poul Anderson novels for the author to
sign—he saw maybe a handful of women. Yes, there’d been a few die-hard,
legitimate fans of the genre, but others had merely come along with their
significant others, sighing and glancing at their watches. The surge of female
attendance in recent years brought on by a collective fondness for handsome
British actors and sparkling vampires annoyed him to no end. Mick felt their
presence cheapened the spirit of an event he loved, though he knew the
organizers greatly appreciated the money these giggling young girls spent. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He studied this woman, and the scarf
obviously purchased from some geek paraphernalia website, and wondered if she’d
actually seen a Doctor Who episode from the era represented by that particular
article of clothing. He supposed he could quiz her with some the questions he
hoped would come up at the panel—of course he had intended to go. The Quantum
Leap remark served entirely to irritate her. Hey, if he was going to be stuck
in this elevator for a while, he might as well have some fun. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“What’s wrong with Quantum Leap?” he
demanded. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He thought to look menacing, but he
refused to frighten the young woman. Indeed, he found her naturally disarming.
She wore no makeup, and her soft blue eyes glared daggers at him. He sensed the
temperature rising already. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Nothing, I like the show fine,” she
said. “I wouldn’t rank it above Doctor Who on a list of top sci-fi shows,
specifically where time travel is the focus.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mick folded his arms and settled in for
a plausible explanation. The most sparkling of the vampire fangirls probably
knew enough to bluff through such a discussion, and he couldn’t wait to hear
the lady Doctor expound on her viewing preferences. “Fine, I’ll give you that
the show only lasted a few seasons, but compared to Doctor Who every friggin’
television series is short-lived. Judging on what’s available for Quantum Leap,
you can’t deny the high quality of acting, or writing…” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“The narrow scope,” she added. “Exactly
what is the science behind the accelerator device that allowed Sam Beckett to
leap physically into other people’s bodies at different points in time?
Wouldn’t it make more sense if he traveled through time as himself, without the
confines of another identity to memorize?” <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“That’s the thing: each episode is a
challenge. It’s not so much he has to solve a puzzle as a fish out of water, he
is part of the puzzle and has to figure out that piece before finding the rest.
He discovers the self he is in that time, acclimates to his environment, then
he solves the mission. Sometimes he doesn’t get the chance and has to do
everything at once. That makes for an interesting drama. What science is found
in a flying blue box manned by some goofball with weird fashion sense?” Mick
posed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">She winced at that. Off came the
metaphorical gloves. “The Doctor is an alien, using alien technology, and at
least he has better control over where and when he travels. Quantum Leap was
limited to a forty-year time span in the twentieth century. Yeah, you could put
Scott Bakula in a dress for one episode and get some laughs while he pretends
to be a woman, but eventually they were going to run out of ideas. Doctor Who
had all of time and space to work with.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />

episode in the last few series brought him back to present-day London. What a
stretch.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

little younger than herself, but with a far more vigorous and enterprising
spirit. Clara had never read such a story! Fanny Hill’s adventures were of such
voluptuousness Clara had to glance around to ensure she was actually alone. Her
body heated as Fanny was seduced by a woman, her ire raised when Fanny’s
virginity was offered to a man far too old for her, her sex tingled and swelled
as Fanny awakened to the pleasures a man could bestow upon a woman. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

relieve the wet tightness between her legs, only managing to arouse herself
further. She pulled her cloak around her shoulders and leaned against the cold
stone wall, her legs splayed open and crossed. When Fanny opened the parlor
door to see a beautiful, sleeping youth, an idea sparked in Clara’s mind that
she could touch herself as she read, a thought dismissed quickly. The pleasures
of the mind were far more respectable than the sins of the flesh. Better to be
caught reading an immoral story than to be caught assuaging one’s lust.
Whatever would the captain think if he happened upon her in such a state? Clara
smiled. Perhaps he would— <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

entered the bedroom with a clandestine air. The lieutenant bolted the door as
the captain stripped off his jacket and threw it on the bed, clearly cross and
irritable, muttering about that “blasted woman,” as the lieutenant countered
with “Sam, Sam,” and soothed him with calming words. Clara could not quite hear
what they were saying but she was certain she was the topic of conversation. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

lieutenant against the wall and took him in a violent kiss. Clara froze. Two
men kissing? She had never heard of such a thing. The men tore at each other
hungrily, stripping off clothes, biting, clawing, licking each other like
animals in heat, until, finally, they stood completely naked, and simply
pressed themselves together in a tangle of arms, their mouths and tongues still
teasing tenderly.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Genre: Urban Fantasy</span></h3>
<br />
What does a woman have to do to prove she belongs in the
Undercity? Sure, I’m unclassed and only half paranormal, but that doesn’t mean
I can’t solve cases. Since the established PI’s won’t acknowledge my right to a
territory, I’m taking jobs from whoever will hire me, doing what I do
best…proving myself to be a bad-ass problem solver. Which is how I find myself
breaking into Zaid’s house, looking for a talisman my witch client says the
very powerful vampire stole.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt;">
<o:p> </o:p>Now, I can make flowers grow, hear the wind’s whispers and
talk to animals, but I don’t have the gift of seeing the future. If I did, I’d
have known not to take this case. Because no matter the outcome, nothing good
can come from messing with the Guicai Talisman, or it’s far too gorgeous guardian.</div>

her mother which is imbued with magical properties. Matters of the heart also
hinder Faith from accepting her role. She is engaged to Prince Merek, but has
no feelings for him. She secretly longs for true love, despite the fact that
her rank keeps her from loving the man she desires most, the stable-hand
Justus. Feeling trapped by the arrangement, there is little she wouldn't
consider doing to stop the wedding, but it seems her fate is sealed. </span>

and against all odds, she sets out to protect those she loves. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“But past experience has taught me that any guy who’s
interested in me is somehow defective.” Take her ex-fiancé, for example. Justin
was a police officer, but it later turned out he was also a drug dealer. And he
cheated on her. Yeah, Maya sure knew how to pick them. Her previous boyfriend
was fired for stealing from his employer. </span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Allison asked for a coffee refill then said, “You’ve just
had some bad luck. Don’t let it stop you.” </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Maya sighed. “I don’t know.” </span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“Come on.” Kristy reached across the table and placed her
hand on top of Maya’s. “You’ve hardly dated in the past four years.” </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">And everyone she’d met for a first date was someone Kristy
had set her up with. Les and John and Anton. Although they were all nice
enough, Maya hadn’t been on a second date because none of them had interested
her. Not only was she unable to attract men who weren’t losers, but she'd never
liked the nice guys anyway. She sure was great at this dating business. At
least today she had lots of strong coffee and a big plate of banana waffles
with whipped cream to comfort her. Plus a couple of friends she’d known since
university. Brunch at the cheap diner near campus was something they still did
occasionally. Life wasn’t all bad.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“I’m telling you,” she said, “there’s got to be something
wrong with Tyler or he wouldn’t have asked for my number.” </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“But you’re going out with him,” Kristy insisted. “When he
calls—” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">"Hell, maybe he won’t even call. That wouldn’t surprise me.”
</span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“I bet he’ll call,” Allison said. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Maya snorted. “What makes you so sure? You don’t need to say
stuff like that to make me feel better.” She drowned her last waffle in maple
syrup. “Either Tyler won’t call, or he’ll call and prove himself an asshole.
Hopefully sooner rather than later. But fine. If he calls, I’ll go out with him
just so I can say I did.” </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“It’ll go well,” Kristy said. “You’ll see.” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“I need some of your happy pills.” </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Maya wasn’t quite as hopeless as she acted. The Justin
debacle was a long time ago now, and she had a kernel of hope that maybe, just
maybe, it would all work out for her. Kristy and Allison were in happy
relationships, as were three of her younger siblings. And a guy had asked for
her number the other day. There was hope. Maybe just a little, but there was
some, wasn’t there? But she didn’t say that out loud, even to her closest
friends. That wasn’t who Maya Gregory was to the world. Not anymore.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;">Genre: Paranormal Romance</span></span></h3>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Ashley wandered through Eli’s bedroom, noting how bare it
was. Except for a queen four-poster bed, a dresser, and a fireplace, there was
nothing else here. She wondered how lonely he must have been to never make a
real home in one place. Eva had told her this small cabin in the north woods
was always his favorite and that was why she’d asked to be brought here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">After stoking a fire, she donned the short red nightie that
hardly covered her breasts and left her long legs exposed. There was no way he
could resist, not if he were half as needful as she, and something told her he
would be more so. She hoped he’d be so lust ridden he’d complete the bond.
Guilt filled her for what she was about to do, but she’d do anything to save
him. She’d worry about the aftermath later. The double-winged tattoo on the
back of her hip burned, and she’d learned it meant Eli was close by. Was he
watching from a distance? She stepped into the soft light of the fire, knowing
it cast a sensual glow across her skin. Yeah, she was pulling out all the
stops. A cool breeze whispered across her skin causing her nipples to tighten. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">He was here. </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">She turned, and when her gaze fell upon him standing in the
shadows she gasped. His naked chest glistened in the firelight that reflected
across the room. A thick rope of muscles coiled just under his skin, and her
fingertips itched to touch him. Dark jeans, settled so low on his hips, she
could see the dusting of hair that led to his sweet spot. However, it was the
massive black wings that stretched out and brushed the ground that really drew
her attention. Her fallen angel was dark and sinister, yet every fiber of her
being said he’d never harm her. He’d come to her and she was determined to
finish what they’d started. </span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">She was determined to save his soul. “Eli.” She took a step
closer. </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">He flashed a set of fangs. “I’ve never been weak in my
entire life, but with you… You are my weakness. Look at me Ashley, I’m one step
away from claiming you. Being mated to me will be a fate worse than death.” </span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Another step. Careful not to scare him off, she stopped
short of being able to reach out and touch him. Opening her mind, he could feel
everything she did should he choose to. </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“You’re wrong. Walking away from you would be a worse fate.
You’ve touched something deep inside me. Fate brought us together because we
need each other.” She took the last step and placed her hands on his chest. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">He stiffened beneath her touch. “I need you and I don’t mean
just the physical. I mean emotionally as well. You have my heart as well as my
body. All of me, it belongs to you.”</span>

<span style="font-size: small;">Jack the Stripper by Jennifer Macaire</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">
Genre: Paranormal Romance</span><br />
</h3>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Taking a deep breath, she turned the page to the last
photograph. In that last picture she posed proudly on the front steps. She was
wearing her police uniform. It was her first morning on the job, and the last
photo her grandmother ever took. A small sigh escaped her and she touched the
picture lightly, remembering the crisp feel of the uniform and the almost
bursting-with-happiness feeling she’d had. A week later someone had pushed her
grandmother down and stolen her purse. When she fell, she’d broken her hip and
died not long after from what the doctors called “complications.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Brianna knew all about complications. Her whole life was one
complication after another and it didn’t seem like things were going to change.
</span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">When Jack got back it was late. Brianna had sandwiches on
the coffee table. She’d left the albums out, and Jack took a sandwich and
poured over the photos, making her tell everyone’s stories. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">But there was one more album. A folder, more like it, with
just some newspaper clippings in it. Brianna had hesitated for a long time
before getting this one out. Finally, when Jack had exhausted all the stories
about her grandmother and her camera, she slid the folder from beneath the
bottom album and pushed it across the coffee table toward him. </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">He took it and opened it on his lap. Then he looked up at
her, his expression unreadable.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brianna crumpled her
napkin in her hands. “I know you say you have some holes in your memory. I
thought perhaps this would help.” </span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">He fingered the clippings, then nodded, and held them up to
study. “My parents didn’t come to my funeral because they’re dead. But I
recognize my aunts and uncles, my grandparents even. That’s my cousin Joey and
his twin, Melanie.” He closed his eyes. “It’s like standing in the surf. The
waves come at me, and I can’t stop them.” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“I’m sorry.” </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“No, it’s all right.” He ran his finger over the newspaper. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“Do you want to call anyone? Your cousins?” </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">He gave a laugh, but it sounded more like a sob. “No. They
were at my funeral. They won’t believe me, or they’ll be horrified … like you
were.” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Brianna was going to tell him she hadn’t been horror-struck,
but she couldn’t. She’d been so frightened she’d peed her pants. She’d never
been as shocked as that moment, when Jack had said his name and turned around.
If she’d had a weak heart, she’d be dead right now. As it was, she had somehow
accepted that Jack was back, but he wasn’t the same Jack she’d known. </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">She didn’t feel the same way about him. There was a
difference. She’d only known him for about a month. What would it be like for
his family, who had known and loved him all his life? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“They deserve to know though,” she said. </span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“I’ll be a monster to them,” said Jack. He smoothed the
newspaper clipping over his knee and a faint smile tugged his lips. “There was
a nice crowd there that day. And there you are, right next to Joey.” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I live in the fast lane, which runs right through a world of
expensive cars, designer bags, and top-of-the-line everything else – none of
which I get to experience. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I've come a long way from who I used to be. Ten years ago, I
was dependent on others, lacking in direction, and ... in love with Sebastian
Medina. </span><br />

reckless heart. I gave him everything I had to offer back then, even the most
sacred parts of my heart and body. When he left, he took my virginity with him.
My heart was in tatters. </span></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">So, I started trying to put the pieces back together. I went
to law school, became independent. Now, he's come back, and the only thing I
haven't been able to do is mend my broken heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I've followed my intuition, and let him back into my life,
but it's carried with it a price. His past has come to haunt us, and the life
I've carefully constructed for myself is in danger of being lost ...</span></div>

inhales sharply and steps back, away from me. Only after I feel the tug on the
back of my shirt do I realize that she has me, pulling me with her. I take a
slow deliberate step back and then another, letting her guide me as I keep my
eyes peeled for them. We move to the far corner of the room. All the while the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stomp, stomp, slide</i> comes closer and

on the wall. We’re standing side-by-side, but I get the feeling that I should
stand in front of her. I’m the only one with a weapon. So I do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Annwyn goes to bed
dreaming of making love with her dead husband and wakes up in the body of
another woman, a woman who is having hot sex with Dane, a powerful sorcerer.
Her body has been stolen by Nira, a sorceress, who feeds her magical power
through sex - the kinkier the better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">The curse she laid on
Dane turns him into a werewolf every full moon and to complicate matters,
Dane's werewolf friend Rolf, succumbs to Nira when she temporarily repossess
her body, causing jealously and confusion. But time is running out for Dane, as
he will be a werewolf forever unless he can break the curse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Rafael from the
Collegium of Sorcerers is the only one Dane trusts to help them, but when a
wider conspiracy is revealed, it's up to Annwyn and her developing magical
powers to save Dane before it's too late. But can she seduce an unwilling
werewolf to lure the sorceress into a final confrontation?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pushed inside her then eased away, only to thrust harder. She found it hard to
concentrate. It had been so long since she had been intimate with anyone. ‘Let

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The face materialised as the haze of dream lifted, the smile
vicious and victorious. In her confusion, Annwyn did not realise until it was
too late that it was a woman’s face, with piercing green eyes, alive with a
power she could not fathom. It was not Thomas at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Annwyn was ripped away. Her consciousness spun into
darkness, all the while the man in her dream was making love to her, thrusting
into her as her body responded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Annwyn was tied to this action, linked inexorably to each
thrust, each caress, each tantalising kiss. It was as if she was caught and
held by a spell and there was no way she couldbreak out of it. Her body was
owned by that man, that touch. She had no will to stop him. She was being taken
high in the sky where the clouds flowed and drifted, leaving her with barely a
sense of the world she inhabited.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For what seemed like a long time she floated, tumbling free
with no bed, no room, no house around her. Burning in her ears, stomach
heaving, and skin screaming, the sensations overwhelmed her. The only constant
was those large strong hands, lifting her hips, angling them for the next
thrust, hot mouth on her throat, biting without wounding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Down, down to earth Annwyn plunged. She cried out with the
force of the movement, the abrupt arrival. The crease of the sheets stuck into
her back. An orange-tinged hue haloed the bed and beyond light and dark waltzed
in the corner of the room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Screwing her eyes shut, she avoided looking. There was
something very wrong in what was happening to her. This was not Thomas’s body
on her, in her. She jerked once, sucking in a breath. Then, opening her eyes,
she screamed. Screamed like the devil.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

paranormal series going. Bespelled with Escape Publishing, the prequel
Spiritbound out in April 2015 and there is more in train. This series is based
on witches and is mostly set in Sydney. She also has a darker more erotic
series set in a different world system, starting with The Sorcerer's Spell, to
be followed up with The Changling Curse. The Sorcerer's Spell is based in
Canberra and features sorcerers and werewolves and other magical creatures. It
has a particularly nasty sorceress for a villan who uses sex to fuel her magic.

He arched one dark eyebrow even as his gaze raked up and down her. “I take
it I’m in the right place?” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Heather’s face and body kept getting hotter while her nipples continued to
tighten. “Uh-huh.” She noted the huge bulge behind his fly and made a guess.
“You’re a satyr?” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“That’s me. Wine, women and song.” He winked. One of the zombies moaned. He
looked over. “Speaking of song, you should get a sound system in here. Drown
out all those crappy noises with some down-and-dirty heavy metal. You like
Behemoth? Their Lucifer kicks some serious ass.” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
His bulge kept getting bigger and the folds between her legs damper.
Fighting a wave of dizziness, Heather went to her computer, wondering why he
was having such an effect on her. Satyrs were charming, sure, and natural
seducers. They had to be, considering all they thought about and wanted was
sex. However, they didn’t have the power to turn a good fairy against her
ingrained principles. At least, she didn’t think they could. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“Do you have an appointment, Mister…” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“Daemon. Nope, I’m hoping you can fit me in. What are you?” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Heather stopped keying. “The receptionist.” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
He laughed with pleasure, not derision. Her belly fluttered at the deep,
virile sound that went straight past her bones and into her marrow.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“I mean what kind of being are you? No,” he said quickly. “Let me guess.” <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Regarding her, he tapped his forefinger against his bristly jaw. He wore an
ornate silver ring with a large black stone on his right middle finger. His
hands were big and rugged but not frightening. Heather wasn’t certain why, but
she saw the best kind of strength in them, the sort that protected and made
mortal women sigh in appreciation. She held back a whimper of delight. <o:p></o:p><br />

<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Only because he wasn’t trying since they weren’t similar at all. Clearly, he
wasn’t as perfect as she’d thought. Heather bet he wouldn’t have liked it if
she’d mistaken him for a centaur rather than what he was. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“I’m a good fairy,” she informed. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
“That explains all the white you’re wearing.” He gestured to her peasant
blouse, gypsy skirt and ballet flats. An outfit she’d bought at Macy’s, not a
uniform store for fairies. When she didn’t comment, he lifted his hands in a
show of surrender. “Hey, didn’t mean to touch a nerve. I’m all about pleasing
the ladies.” He grinned.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mark
struggled to regain consciousness. When he tried to open his eyes he found they
were heavy. His skull felt like he’d taken a sledgehammer to it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Shit,”
he mumbled. He put a heavy hand on the back of his head searching for a wound.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Mark,”
Randy whispered urgently. “Come on, man, wake up.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mark
again struggled to open his eyes. When he finally got them open, he saw Randy
staring at him with a look of fear on his face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“What’s
going on?” Mark tried to search his mind, trying to remember what happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“We’ve
been abducted by fucking monster aliens, man!” Randy whisper yelled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Oh,
yeah. The memory of the bright light flashing on them and trapping them came
rushing back and all the grogginess that had been in his head quickly fled.
Mark bolted upright, but found his movements were restricted. “What the hell?”
he asked. He looked down and found he was completely naked and his arms were tied
behind him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“They
tied us up,” Randy offered. Randy nodded his head to the right. “The monsters
are over there.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mark
looked over Randy’s head and sure enough, there they stood in the flesh.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Monsters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">They
didn’t look like anything that Mark had ever seen before. There were four of
them standing at some controls. They all stood about seven feet tall. If Mark’s
eyes weren’t playing tricks on him, they appeared to be large bearded dragons
with green scaly skin. They had long snouts for noses and sharp pointy teeth.
They had muscular bodies and didn’t wear any clothes. Their arms and legs were
as big as tree trunks, and instead of fingernails they had long black claws.
Tails extended from their butts and had to be at least five feet in length. But
what caught Mark’s eyes was what hung between their thighs. Massive dicks!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mark’s
mouth dropped open. “What the hell is going on here? Who the fuck are they?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“I
think they’re aliens and we’re in their spaceship.” Randy looked around and
Mark followed his gaze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">They
were in some kind of room or spaceship with controls lining the walls. “What
are they planning to do with us?” Mark asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Randy
shrugged. “I have no idea, they haven’t—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“You
two,” a deep raspy voice called from the other side of the room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mark’s
heart stopped as his attention was pulled back to where the monsters were
standing. One of the monsters was looking directly at them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Wh-what
do you want with us?” Mark asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“To
study,” the monster said flatly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mark
raised his brows. “To study” could mean anything from asking Randy and Mark
questions or cutting them up into itty-bitty pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“Fuck,”
Randy bit out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3pt 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">“That
too,” the monster replied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Time had grated on me. Not because I hadn't enjoyed it, I
had enjoyed every second of it, but because I couldn't help the nagging feeling
in the back of my mind warning me to not become complacent. The other shoe
would drop and it had. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Destiny and Life have basically disappeared; I had their
numbers but had been trying to convince myself I didn't need their help. I
couldn't gamble like that, not with Catalina's life. Not with our future. If it
took swallowing my pride, I would do it in a heartbeat. Oliver’s visit only
solidified my decision further. I pulled my phone from my pocket and let my
finger hover over Denny's name for a moment before I sighed and dialed it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It rang four times before it went to a generic voice mailbox
that read his number back to me with instructions to leave a message. After the
beep, I stayed silent for far too long, not sure exactly where to start. The
only comfort I had was that Denny understood me like few in this world and the
Other did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">"This was too easy," I confessed out loud for the
first time. Saying it made me feel like a failure. A failure that would get
more than just myself killed. "I know Tori, better than I care to admit
to. I knew she wouldn’t bow out gracefully. We need to talk. In person." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I hung up, letting my confession speak for a plea in and of
itself. Denny and Robin both risked a lot to keep us alive and together, I
would have liked to think they would have a vested interest in us staying that
way. I had made the call, now all I could do was wait for my plea to be heard
and headed.</span></div>
