<span class="null"><span style="color: #3e454c; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When
mankind's existence is taken for granted, the only hope at saving their soul
from an afterlife on the fire-pits of Sheol, are angels of God.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="null"><span style="color: #3e454c; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Percival,
an angel, is sent on a mission to help save a human soul. When he arrives, he
is tested by not one, but two, sisters. Should he fail the mission, he will
lose an angel’s most cherished possession—his wings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span class="null"><span style="color: #3e454c; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Ava
and Brianna are sisters. Struggling to continue their uncle's business, one
sister is left running the place, while the other’s attention is on anything
but. After placing an ad in the local paper for a handyman, their only source
of help arrives. A man, who both sisters discover, is more than he appears.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Materializing on earth, Percival appeared and stood on the sand,
next to a long worn-out catwalk. He scanned the countless planks of rotten wood.
They undoubtedly needed some TLC in more ways than one. By the looks of the
property surrounding it, the newspaper ad was spot on. A skilled handyman was
needed for this kind of job.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For a moment, he savored the calming, therapeutic waves crashing
on shore. The sound felt like an explosion of love over the soul. Percival prayed
with thanks, glad his mission had brought him near the Atlantic Ocean. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lifting his foot, he placed it on the edge of the catwalk and
putting some weight on it, wiggled his leg a few times on the board to ensure
it would hold him. Convinced it would, he placed his full weight on the plank
and noticed the whole length of the catwalk was covered with pieces of slivered
wood, poking out from its depleted state. Thankful his sandals protected his
feet, he proceeded toward the building. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In the heavens and before leaving, the angels were normally briefed
about their assignments. Yet, Percival wasn’t given specifics for his mission.
He certainly would not question the lack of information, because in Heaven, one
never asked questions but is grateful for the facts received. If God thought angels
needed to know more, he made sure they did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Everything has a purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When he advanced, he inspected the building. Percival could tell
it’d been constructed of the same wood as the catwalk and in the same dire need
of attention. As his gaze skimmed up and across its surface, he imagined the
structure probably appeared very elegant back in its day, yet now seemed in
disrepair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Unexpectedly, a squeal came from behind him, catching him off
guard. Percival turned to find a small boy pointing at him while tugging at his
father’s swim shorts. Funny, how he hadn’t even noticed them when he arrived.
He needed to be more careful and assess his surroundings first.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Look Pa. That man has wings!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oops, forgot about you two back there.</span></i><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Percival willed his
thick, colossal set of feathery, white wings to fade from the mortal eye. He
then nodded at the father and winked at the boy, who now displayed a saddened
expression. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> “I swear, Pa, he did—just like the Archangel.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The father took the boy by the hand and led him toward their car.
“Not everyone is a comic book character, son. C’mon, let’s go home.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Relieved his carelessness didn’t require him to handle the
situation further, Percival watched the two leave. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> The boy’s face remained glued to the passenger window of the SUV
until they were out of sight. No doubt, waiting and hoping for the set of wings
to reappear. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Cracking a smile at how he loved the Children of God, Percival
returned his attention to his task. He reached into the front pocket of his
jeans. After pulling out a piece of torn paper, he glanced at the newspaper ad,
then at the building. Confirming the numbers 882 barely hanging above the
door’s entrance, he double-checked the name Ava, he’d written under the job
qualifications. When she answered his call, the sound of her voice sang like
church bells. Soft and angelic, it carried the slightest hint of a twang he’d
never heard before. He sensed right off, she was unique by the way she spoke to
him. Percival liked her instantly and looked forward to meeting her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

So - friends and family have been asking me how I enjoyed my recent trip to New York. Being the <i>country gal</i> that I am, you might assume I'd be totally out of my element. To be honest, I was nervous. This was a city that never sleeps and much more fast paced than ~laughs~ down south. But I could not have been more wrong. I loved it so much. So much so, I thought I'd share it with you all. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For those who know me, I never travel. This all changed in 2011 when I started writing and met some wonderful people who I am blessed to know. I had been content with my life up to that point. Working during the week...writing every chance I got, and on occasions I hung out with my friends on the weekends, doing the norm - dinner...movie...trips to the casinos to support a local band...and throw in a club now and then for some dancing. Life was GREAT, right?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Who knew - fate had many awaited adventures for me. LOL. All I had to do was jump - well, actually fly. ~shudders~ </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As in...I DON'T FLY. hahaha But I couldn't allow that one obstacle <i>~and it was a big one - mind you~</i> to get in the way of opening new stages in my life. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Which brings me to this trip. In two years, I have been to Washington D.C. (October 2011) and this past weekend, New York City. I have fallen in love! Yes, this southern gal has fallen madly in love with the north. Who knew!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Okay - let me start from the beginning...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Thursday, September 5th , 2013</span></b></u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I arrived at the airport two hours before my flight. Departure for my round trip airfare was supposed to be 7:30pm. However, there was a one hour flight delay. ~laughs~ Yes...I was nervous flying already and now my flight was delayed? LOL Not the way I wanted to start my trip, let me tell you. ~giggles...<i>yes I can laugh about it now though</i>~</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Finally, after boarding on the plane at 8:20pm thanks to local flight attendants who were off duty and volunteered to get on our flight so the plane could leave, which would have been <i>another</i> 45 minutes if they hadn't, I arrived at LaGuardia a little after midnight. Luckily, I had arranged to have a driver pick me up and even with the delay - he was there waiting...all smiles and welcomed me to New York. LOL</span><br />
<br />

It was beautiful! If you ever come to New York and want car transportation, I highly recommend <span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.luxorlimo.com/" target="_blank">Luxor Limo</a></span>. Being my first trip for NY, I did go the "extra" mile and treat myself. It was so worth it. The driver helped me out and assisted with my luggage. I felt like royalty. LOL At the hotel, I was met by the doorman who assisted with my luggage and escorted me to the room where my two friends had already arrived. I was so excited to see them, I couldn't stand it. LaVerne was there and a friend of hers, Phyllis, who after meeting her for the first time, loved her. She was a hoot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After we caught up - talked about the flight and the beauty of the skyline coming into the city - I almost got them to get out of their pj's and head down for a night cap - LOL - but yeah - it was after 1AM by then. LOL So we just ended up crashing for the night. I couldn't wait to see what the next day had in store. I was already blown away by New York and I had just arrived.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><u><b>Friday, September 6th, 2013</b></u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">7:30am (6:30 am, my time back home) and surprisingly we were all up at the same time. Got dressed, and in our comfortable shoes, headed down where a friend of ours,VR, who lives in New Jersey, met us in the hotel lobby. I couldn't wait to see her, too! ~big smile~ Once the four of us were together - we hit the town. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">CAB ANYONE! LOL</span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7QcR8GdgCD_R8M17OGmSISGko_P3PnvTXkC0EdWxyR_SVO8pxDCVvyKtoRI37LxvR75uWL52xqhr6PQTuWGXdSA4yB4IbvO-IXa3wCiNs24SxFnXPpU8-BREEVFHsTnkrUyWbqBJI6c/s1600/Buvette3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7QcR8GdgCD_R8M17OGmSISGko_P3PnvTXkC0EdWxyR_SVO8pxDCVvyKtoRI37LxvR75uWL52xqhr6PQTuWGXdSA4yB4IbvO-IXa3wCiNs24SxFnXPpU8-BREEVFHsTnkrUyWbqBJI6c/s200/Buvette3.JPG" height="200" width="150" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I had Croissants with butter and OMG the best raspberry jam I have EVER had in my life! If you don't believe me ask Phyllis. LOL. She almost tackeled the waiter when he tried to take hers away from her. hahahahahaha ~winks~</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then I ordered the <i>Americiane</i>, which was fabulous. It was a sunny-side up egg (I had them cook hard) - mixed with bacon and peppers and laid across some fabulous toast. It was to die for. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'd bet everything on the menu is fab though.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once our bellies were full of goodness - we took a cab toward 34th Street - Yes, the movie <i>Miracle on 34th Street</i> came to mind. The next time I watch it, it will have a whole new meaning to me. We stopped in front of Macy's on 151 W. 34th Street. It was gorgeous! Puts my Macy's back home to shame. LMAO. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Looking around, I could actually picture the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade coming down the street. All I needed was me some Matt Lauer. HAHAHA </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Before we went into Macy's for some shopping, I had to stop and take in the Empire State Building. It was overwhelming. Seeing it in person - well...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I live in Memphis, so we have what I thought were tall buildings downtown, but when my eyes looked upon New York's skyscrapers, I truly had no words. To see these buildings on TV - for example watching 'An Affair to Remember' with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, if you aren't amazed at just gazing at such architectural wonder - I don't know what will. At least I was moved. It's the history of it all I guess. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Who doesn't love some VIN DIESEL! OMG. The movie was good, but what made it better was the company of good friends and the bad ass place VR took us to. It was an <span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.amctheatres.com/movie-theatres/amc-dine-in-theatres-essex-green-9" target="_blank">AMC Dine In Theater</a></span>.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After the movie, we headed back to New York and the hotel. We got ready and all four of us went to <span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.230-fifth.com/" target="_blank">230-Fifth</a></span>. It is by far one of the coolest bars I've ever been to.

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Saturday, September 7th, 2013</b></u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Up and at it early again this morning, today was gonna be another full day on the agenda. We started off going shopping this morning. I shocked myself and actually purchased some shoes at Barneys. LMAO. I had to have some Christian Louboutin black suede Melisa Booty for the fall. OMG. I love them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We had a late lunch at the hotel. <span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/normas/" target="_blank">Norma's</a></span> - One of the top rated places to eat. However, I must be honest and say the service was not as one would expect having a $25 four-cheese omelet. Personally, my food was good, maybe not worth $25 bucks, but a friend had asked for her eggs to be cooked 'hard' and after two trips back, still runny. How can a place that has a $1000 omelette with $995 worth of caviar NOT be able to cook a 'hard' egg. LMAO I'm just sayin' But that was our experience. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then - Thanks to VR and her mad skills of the city, we took a cab and headed to catch the Staten Island Ferry so we could get a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the way, by cab, I caught both Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello LaVerne...so nice to see you again. First off, congratulations on your first self publication, Dragon's Heart. How did you come up with the idea for the story? Have you always wanted to write about dragons?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Hi Scar - Thank you for hosting me on your site.LOL. Yes. I've always loved dragons. Come on the idea of a fire breathing beast what 's not to love. LOL. Seriously read pretty much all the dragon classics and some more recent works on dragons, but for me there was always something missing. I didn't just want to have a dragon friend, I wanted to </b><i><b>be</b></i><b> a dragon that's how the world of the brethren began. My world tells the story of the dragons they came to be here and how it is there came to be dragon shifters on earth who could shift between dragon and human forms at will.</b></span></div>
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Wow. That is fascinating. I must admit, I have read this story and for all you Dragon lovers out there and those who aren't yet...you WILL be after you get your hands on this book. </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Tell us a little about Journey of the Ice Princess. I have read this story too and I must say I am a HUGE fan of Arch *blushes*</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Yes that fire demon is one of my favorites and no matter where he is he tends to bring the heat. I thought he was the perfect foil for my heroine, Ice. I wanted to tell a story about a woman that was an ice princess in the literal sense. Ice chips flows through her veins. She loves the cold and was untouchable because she was an ice elemental and her skin gave off waves of cold instead of heat. I figured someone like that if she roamed around warm bloodied people would be lonely and truly untouchable. But I added another element in that she was the last of her kind, she believes, because her world was destroyed. So she searched the world for a place to belong for the touch of another. Enter her exact opposite, a demon, a fire elemental. They should have nothing in common in fact should cancel each other out. They don't.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>*giggles* I know!!! I know!!! That is why he is sooo HAWT! </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>How many ongoing projects do you have? How in the world do you find the time to keep up with them all?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I usually have at least 3 writing projects in various states. I just finished something I co-wrote with a friend and new author that was accepted by Horny Devil Publishing, Dark Mist so that should be out in the next few months. The active projects are book 2 for my Brethren Series, and my Children of the Sea series. But I'm also working on something under my pen name, Ursula Sinclair, a romantic suspense. I don't sleep that's pretty much how. lol</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ummm, yeah. I can see that. *laughs*</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Would you care to share an excerpt from any of your WIPs or current books?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Oh here's something from Dragon's Blood, Talon's story. It's raw.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bright silver light glowing from the center
of Window Rock seemed even brighter against the otherwise black background,
like power was still building and thunder echoed from its center. The air
drifted ripe with the scent of an electric charge, but nothing could be seen
except the light. When they got nearer they noticed a shadow move on one side
of the stone arch. Yet neither could sense any one or anything, as though the
power generating from the portal dulled some of their senses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lightening gathered overhead then struck the
empty space within the Window causing the structure to glow even more so for a
moment it looked like daylight. Darryl released his wife’s hand and reached
into his jacket, pulling out the Beretta semi-auto he carried. He could command
great amounts of powerful magicks, but sometimes something else was called for.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Over a thousand years ago Draakar was forced to leave Earth, now he
has no choice but to return. The dragon lord, whose world teeters on the
brink of destruction, must find his truemate. The one woman with the
power and love fated to save them all. The woman he left behind. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Maya
Trent was abandoned on Earth, apparently human but so much more and
unaware of her duel heritage. Once Draakar awakens her dragon within all
she wants to do is kill him. Yet they must work together to save
mankind as well as the brethren. But first Draakar has to convince her
that the truemate bond between them is real, as is his love for her. She
just has to believe in him. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>THE ELEMENTALS </i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Ice had traveled the realms for centuries searching for the ice
elementals, others of her kind but she was alone always alone. Never
staying one place for long because sooner or later her mere presence
caused the temperature of the land to drop to a killing freeze. Until
she found the one place her powers had no effect. And perhaps the one
being who could counter her freeze. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Running from a
destiny not of his own choosing, Arch finally found the one person who
could make him stop running. But Ice must never learn the truth. A fire
demon destroyed her world and he was his father’s son. </span></span><br />

myself and my book, I’d like to thank the amazing Scarlet Hunter for hosting me
again today. She was kind enough to have me visit her blog this past November as
well, when <i>Heart and Soul </i>was published.
So, I’m getting rather comfy here – I just may grab a Diet Coke and my laptop and
settle in for a bit. <i>*continues typing
and ignores Junebug when she gives her the blatant kitty stare of “I don’t
think so.”*</i></span></span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">We’re on day four of the <i>Diamonds and Divas Book Tour</i> and I have to say I’ve been having
fun! I’m the caboose on this train, the newbie in the writing field. The other
Divas are extremely talented and fantastically creative. Seriously. I’m
learning so much. They really have their sh*t together and I’m honored to be
included on this tour with them. </span></span></i></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;">If you’re following the tour – which I hope you are
– please remember to leave a comment on each blog stop. It’s easy peasy and at
the end of the tour you might be the lucky winner of nine ebooks; one from each
of the Diva authors. For shits and giggles, I’m offering an additional prize
today. One randomly chosen reader who leaves a comment on my blog post will
receive a $10 gift card to Amazon. Let the commenting commence! </span></div>

good eggs and support my dream anyway.</span></div>

Trilogy, which will be Tolan’s story. In case you haven’t read my current book,
Tolan is a younger brother who makes a brief appearance in <i>Heart and Soul</i>. He’s a bit of a rebel and a devil-may-care kind of
elf. You know the type; hot guy with an attitude to match and a mischievous
streak a mile wide. </span></div>

Caelan Virilion. A governing member of the Elven society in Solaria, he is a
man who acknowledges his responsibilities while at the same time endeavors to enjoy
a simple life. After spending a short interval with Caelan and his gentlemanly
ways, the more uptight Greer Ivers, a human rescued from her world by Caelan, begins
to relax and come around to his way of thinking; revealing wonton desires that
surprise them both. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tugging his body closer, Greer stood on tiptoe,
touching her lips hesitantly to his, her heated palms resting on his hard
chest. “So, this is our last chance to have wild monkey sex in the great
outdoors?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Taken aback by her query, Caelan chuckled deeply.
“You certainly have a way with words, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kalia’mae</i>.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Shhh…forget about talking. Let’s go back to where
we were a few minutes ago. I believe I stood something like this.” Leaning back
against the tree trunk, she posed, raising her arms above her and hiking her
chin up. “And one of your strong hands held mine in place, the other was making
my breasts ache with your magical touch. Oh, and your lips. Their yumminess
firmly locked with mine, insinuating you wanted to nail me to this tree with
that sizable hard-on you were sporting.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Caelan’s vision grew hazy at her wanton words, and
being an intelligent man, he got swiftly back with the program; dissolving
their clothes, his shaft springing into action and taking control of the
situation. Moving into the stance he’d held before, he silently gave a brisk
thanks to the hardwood behind her for its support. Then he went back to rolling
her delectably beaded nipple between his fingers and kissing every inch of her
luscious body.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Remember always, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kalia</i>, you are mine,” Caelan whispered huskily against her neck. “I
will make you forget everything else but my touch so you will hold this memory
dear until we meet again,” Caelan promised. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And he did. All thoughts about returning her home
fled when he lifted her legs up to wrap around his hips and thrust his rigid
cock into her drenched entrance. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tess Black was born in Massachusetts and now resides in a small town in Wisconsin. Throughout her life her secret desire to become a writer had always been pushed to the side to make room for other life events. After spending nineteen years as a stay-at-home mom for two lovely daughters she has now found the perfect time to start her writing career.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Previously an avid reader of most genres, particularly fantasy, she was surprised when several years ago a new friend suggested a book series from a genre she was unfamiliar with, Paranormal Romance. (Shout out to Kiwi!) The rest is history! Although she still reads“normal” fiction here and there, her love of paranormal romances, the edgier the better, has grown into an obsession.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most days you can find Tess' physical body sitting with her Nook Tablet in hand or in front of her computer typing away. Her mind, though, is off somewhere in an imaginary world. She is currently working on Book Two of the Solaria Trilogy; Tolan’s story.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two men…separated by thousands of years, cultures, and customs…and in love with the same woman…</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All grad student James Tucker Upchurch wanted was to earn summer credit on an archaeological dig to Central America…and to marry his fiancée, Shannon. All Semris wanted was to escape the monotony of a millennia-old life, and the burdens being a demon king, and the son of the Mayan God of Death, have placed upon him.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For five thousand years, the misplaced Dark Lords of Hell have been trapped in this world, ruling the Mayan city of Nikte-Uaxac. While elsewhere civilizations rise and fall, they and their subjects remain unchanged, until Twenty-first Century intruders appear, stealing from them their most precious possession, the Emperor himself…</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuck never expected to lose his girl to a demon nor to be given immortality, and Semris never thought he’d experience mortal love, but when the current world meets a more ancient one, everything and everyone they know will be changed. Forever.</span></b><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Excerpt</u>:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <b> Tuck walked over to the cage.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> Oh, God, did that last shot kill him? As far as he could tell, Semris hadn’t moved.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> When he saw the slow rise and fall of the bare chest, he felt abrupt relief. He also saw the golden amulet, recognizing it as the twin of the one that had started all this unpleasantness in the first place.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> The fruit hadn’t been touched, was rapidly darkening, the sweet, overripe smell permeating the cellar, attracting flies. How the Hell did they get in here, anyway?Several big bluebottles were buzzing around inside the cell, hovering over the peaches, a couple crawling along the edges of the plate. One was floating in the water glass, wings fluttering and making little splashes.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> Tuck knelt and opened the little flap, reaching inside to remove the glass. As he reached back in for the plate, it happened. so fast he didn’t even realize Semris had moved until he felt the iron grip upon his wrist, saw the fangs drop and the dark head covering his hand.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> He screamed as twin razor slashes struck through his wrist...knowing no one could hear, struggled desperately to get away. Frantic, disbelieving thoughts whirling through his mind. Oh, God, this is why he didn’t eat the fruit. He’s a vampire! Sweet Jesus, he’s going to kill me! Help someone, help me! Why should they? I didn’t help him.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> The pain went away, his arm numb from wrist to fingertips.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> He knelt there on the floor, watching the pale body crouched so near he could have reached out and touched his shoulder...his bare, wingless shoulder.Where did his wings go? What happened to them? All he could do was watch those shoulders heave with the strength of each deep swallow, feeling his life ebb away, and a vague surprise that it didn’t hurt at all.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> Eyes rolling up, Tuck gave a little sigh and collapsed against the bars. He was barely conscious as he saw Semris raise his head and release his arm. In spite of being only slightly aware, he felt a stab of surprise as the quiet voice whispered, “Gracias. Gracias por su sangre.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> He’s thanking me? Thanking me for letting him kill me? With an effort, he made himself withdraw his wounded arm, cradling it against his chest with his other hand. Forcing his eyes open, he stared at his wrist, fighting the wave of blackness floating before his eyes.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> There was no bloody ripped-away flesh as he’d imagined, only four deep punctures. Two of the five little veins had been pierced, but the wounds were clean and already clotting. Tuck forced himself to take a deep breath, then let it out, and repeated the procedure. Keep breathing! Don’t pass out. He might decide to have a second helping.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “I took too much. I am sorry. I was too hungry.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> There was such concern in Semris’ voice that Tuck found himself replying, “That’s all right. I-if I’d known, I… Oh, God, what am I saying?” He fell silent, feeling a bout of hysteria galloping toward him.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> Something was thrust into his hand. One of the peaches. Semris’ hand, between the bars, holding it out to him. “Aqui. Come. Pronto.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> So he took the peach and bit into it, choking slightly as the rich, sweet juice slid down his throat, but forced himself to keep chewing and swallowing. As the fruit sugar hit his stomach, he began to feel better.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “That was good.” With a sigh, he tossed the peach pit aside.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Through the bars, hands helped him to his feet. He leaned against the door, hanging onto it to keep his balance as dizziness flooded back.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “Again, I am sorry. He looked up, meeting Semris’ eyes, startled at the concern in them. “It has been so long since I have had the living wine.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> Living wine…what a beautiful way to describe it. Tuck still felt a little groggy, wondered if he was now under the vampire thrall. He decided to find out. “Am I your minion now?”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “Why would you think that?” Semris sounded genuinely puzzled.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “Well, you’ve taken my blood. Generally, when a vampire--”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “Vampiro! Donde?” Semris looked around quickly, arms crossing over his throat in a protective gesture.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “You.” Tuck answered, feeling he’d made a mistake. “Aren’t you a vampire?”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “Of course not!” The answer was disdainful that Tuck might mistake him for such a vile creature. “I am a Dark Lord. Un demonio.” The pale chin lifted proudly. “Los vampiros are creatures accursed.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> Tuck thought that over. “And you’re not.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> “No.” Semris shook his head, the dark hair swinging. “I am not.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tuck realized he must be feeling better, to be able to marvel at the absurdity of this conversation.</b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was further inspired when the author ran across a
band of transplanted Transylvanian vampires who were sightseeing in the
South. Thinking<i>nosferatu</i> were getting a<span class="apple-converted-space"><i> </i></span><i>bad press<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></i>and in need of some favorable
publicity, he decided to do what
he could to change that attitude through
his writing. Though it may be argued his efforts have probably done the
opposite, no vamp has
complained…yet</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ice slid down the
mountainside on the ground she’d frozen beneath her feet and came to a stop at
a crossroad. The road to her left led to another town. She could see the spires
of buildings not too far ahead and people riding or walking toward them. Or,
she turned to face the road in front of her, she could continue on her current
course until she came to another town or another crossroad. She’d wandered the
world for centuries searching for her people, a race of elementals or a place
to settle, only to find sooner or later something forced her to leave, by her
own will or that of others. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It had
been awhile since she’d been around people for any length of time and would be
nice to stop and have a little company, even if only for a day. The temperature
of this land seemed moderate, neither too hot nor too cold. If she stayed long
enough, that would change. The wind
shifted and the salty scent of the sea reached her from the direction of the
town. She loved the sea. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sighing, she adjusted the
pack on her back as well as the specially treated fur coat she wore to contain
her freeze. As an ice elemental, it literally ran in her blood, freezing
anything around her after awhile. She walked in the direction of the new town,
not anticipating it to be any different from the many others she’d encountered.
Friendly at first, then not so much as the temperature dropped because of her.
But she had to try.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">She pulled up short when a man appeared from out of nowhere,
startling her. Jumping back, Greer stared, hoping she didn’t drool. Tall, dark
and handsome didn’t even begin to cover it. Craning her head back to look up
into his face, she realized he must have stood at least six and a half feet
tall with golden skin and a body to die for. He looked so hot in fact, she
could hear the sizzle from where she stood. His dark hair fell to just above
his broad shoulders, framing an exquisite face of chiseled features. Deep green
eyes watched her with interest from under killer lashes. As her eyes traveled
lower, she actually felt her breath catch and stop. He stood before her,
shirtless. His smooth muscular chest and six-pack—no wait, make that
eight-pack—rippled down to reveal a smattering of dark hair starting just below
his navel and trailing south to disappear into snug dark rust-colored pants
hanging low on his lean hips. He posed in the doorway, all lithe, sinewy muscle
with colorful tattoo symbols running down the left side of his torso.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Oh, sweet Jesus. She’d died and gone to heaven—or perhaps hell,
since he looked to be so sinfully tempting. Suddenly realizing she stared at
him too intently, she glanced away. A blush crept from her neck on up to heat
her cheeks.</span></span></div>

doorway, perhaps waiting for her to acknowledge him, but his mega-watt smile,
revealing perfect white teeth, captivated her as did his unique name and
lyrical voice. Ah, so the sandalwood scent came from him. He even smelled
yummy.</span></span></div>

waiting for her to speak. Believing the best defense to be a direct approach,
she stepped forward with her hand outstretched to shake and broke her silence.
“I’m Greer Ivers. I don’t believe I know you or where I am at the moment.
Perhaps you could enlighten me.”</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">17 year old Erin Harris spends her time daydreaming, hoping to escape her small town life in Copperfield, Arizona. When a movie crew arrives unexpectedly to shoot a vampire film over the summer, Erin's small town world changes forever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Erin is positive she has seen the star, James Linkin before in a thirty year old TV show. He hasn't aged a day. How is this possible? Erin is determined to find out, but how will James handle the scrutiny of an all too intelligent teenage girl?</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">James heard every word
of the conversation as he strode away. Excellent hearing; it was a perk.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> He had asked <st1:place w:st="on">Erin</st1:place> at the
launch party if she felt unnerved by him. That was funny, since he was the one who was feeling extremely unnerved
now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> <i>Why?</i>
Because he was <i>feeling. </i>That hadn’t happened in awhile, years in
fact. <st1:place w:st="on">Erin</st1:place>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> “<st1:place w:st="on">Erin</st1:place>.” He enjoyed the sound of her name on his
tongue. It tasted sweet, like her. And dangerous. James never got too close to anyone. He wasn’t a good guy, and girls only ever got
hurt around him. This girl seemed
different. She saw through him, but did
she know the truth yet?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> She had been spot-on about his eyes. There was indeed something ‘wrong’ with
him. James knew he should leave town
immediately, get out of Dodge and clean up this mess. If he turned back now, it could all be over
with her in a matter of seconds. He even
stopped walking in the middle of the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> Her scent was still on him. Sweet apples on his lips and clothes. Fists clenched, James forced himself to keep
moving, towards the darkness of his trailer, and away from temptation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Blood Bond Chapter 1</i></b>, the Nocterm Aeternam series on the
Nocterm Guard is an adult graphic novel presented by RP World Group. This is
definitely something different in publishing. It combines the storytelling
experience with the publishing experience and creates something a bit outside
the book or post if you will.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The story Blood Bond is presented in a storytelling format.
Each character ‘speaks’ from their prospective, not unlike a play. But instead
of the actors/actresses speaking their parts it’s written. Yet still presented
in a reader friendly format that anyone can follow. Give it shot. You won’t be
sorry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The wind
howled outside the walls of the Fortress echoing throughout the Bay Area like a
wild creature heralding change. After the brutal assassination of his parents a
new King of the Vampire race has been crowned and King Kelt Ignis' first
concern is the disappearances of not just the humans he’s sworn to protect, but
vampires now too. Luther, the demi-demon God, hates them all and must be behind
it. Over the centuries he’s taken humans and turned them into his minions,
little better than zombies to destroy the vampires. So the vampires continue to
guard the night, fighting Luther’s minions and King Kelt searches for answers.
And while the Ancients, the oldest among the vampires bicker over who’s really
behind the kidnappings, and the priorities of the race, Luther continues to
experiment and his army continues to grow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The only way to get to the bottom of things is for the Vamps to
reach out to the Weres the other most powerful creatures ruling the night. For
Weres have gone missing now too. There has been an uneasy truce between the
Vamps and Weres for a thousand years, both sides evenly matched have kept
things that way. But the king of the Weres hates the blood drinkers and even if
Luther were behind the kidnappings would still find a way to blame the Vamps.
Luther is half-vampire. Yet Kelt has no choice but to convince the Weres they
must put old hatreds aside and become allies. He must send his own to
venture into the Were Sanctum. There is unrest among the Weres, not all want
war between the Nocterms and he hopes this will help his cause. Kelt now has
proof Luther is experimenting and those experiments have been successful. He is
creating a race of demon-possessed vampires, VEMS that are stronger and harder
to kill than minions and maybe has found the right formula to turn Weres and others
too. He must be stopped, all of the races are at risk.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Hunter S. Jones.</b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Tell us a little about yourself.</b></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There's really not much to know. I live in Atlanta, GA. Anything you will ever learn about me or want to know will never be as interesting as the art form I create.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Wow. Another southern gal like myself. *grins* Can you tell us how you got started writing? Have you always wanted to be a writer?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Yes, I have always written something. I wrote as a child-writing stories for the kids in the area. We would act out plays and skits that I would write, star in and direct. Then, I worked on the school papers in high school and college. I have written articles covering rock & roll, fashion, travel, wine, artists, books, movies. You name a topic, any topic, and more than likely I have written an article about the subject.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>How fascinating and what a great role model. Tell us a little about your new release and when is it available? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>My new release is my first book, my debut novella. It is called <b>Fables of the Reconstruction</b>. Pomba Gira Mysticism. Creole Voodoo. The zombie apocalypse. Sex, drugs, magick. Paranormal. Meet Pierre von Minzle and Mary Moore. They are the Adam and Lilith of today's zombie apocalypse. <b>Fables of the Reconstruction</b> is a playful yet graphic sexual adventure consisting of what might have been, combined with what possibly might be happening now. It contains the seeds of the zombie apocalypse set in Victorian London's notorious Whitechapel District. This ain't your daddy's shotgun zombie story. Mature content warning. Basically this is the story of a Belgian pimp in Victorian London who has a magic powder. He claims he is undead. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Zombies, huh? I have to say you have my curiosity up. I'll be checking this book out for sure! So...What one word would you say best describes you?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Everchanging.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Hahahahaha. I like that! On a more personal note for your fans out there *winks*, what songs are most played on your IPod?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Ohhh. Great question Scarlet. I usually just hit 'shuffle' and see what plays. My tastes are very eclectic. You'll find old Delta Blues, Classic Rock, Indie Alternative Rock, Roots Rock, Hip Hop. As long as music has a good beat, I am a fan.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>We're all struggling writers, aren't we? All I know is to write from your heart. Feel and listen to your dreams.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>I'm athletic and competitive, so I believe in working out. I read everything. I love fashion - hair, makeup, clothes.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Erotic fiction is all fiction. Unless you have a passion for a subject you will not write about it.

After refusing the proposal of a
jealous and vengeful god, Aretha, goddess of soul<br />
is banished to Earth. Cursed
with never being able to be touched by a male, human<br />
or otherwise. And if
that's not enough she's condemned to living as a Pegasus by day,<br />
human by
night. In order to survive she must fight off human hunters seeking to destroy<br />
her.<br />
<br />
One night she crosses paths with one of the damned and evil. Could he be
her savior, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; margin-right: -1in;">
or will he lead her into making a decision that will cost her what
little she had left?<br />
<br />
<br />
Alaois, birth born vampire, existing in the hidden caverns off the Sea of
Marmara<br />
encounters a female the likes of which his kind rarely come in contact.
The female<br />
triggers something inside he’d never thought possible, thus he could
not stay away<br />
from her. Discovering she was being hunted by human hunters, he
risks everything </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: white; margin-right: -1in;">
to save her.<br />
<br />
Would he be in time or would his actions cost
both their lives?</div>

<span style="font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Bolting
past thick green branches and tree trunks at a vampire’s supernatural speed,
Alaois swatted through broad and narrow leaves and stems with his hands,
determined at clearing any obstacle in his path. Hearing something off in the
distance, a twig snapped, causing him to whip around in a flash of a second.
His throat closed. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">MINE! </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">An
exquisite woman stood before him, draped in a platinum gown that outlined every
curve of her body. Long strands of pale white hair sparkled like diamonds as
they fell in fluid waves past her waistline. Some locks were teased by the
winds and caused them to cover her succulent breasts. Alaois growled at their disrespectful
placement shielding her perky mounds of flesh straining against the thin
fabric. His hands suddenly craved to reach out, remove all that hid the beauty
underneath and caress with his palms that which he achingly desired. With a
lustful gaze, he drifted to meet hers and h<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">oly
fuck</i>; he stared directly into a pair of translucent pearl-like eyes. Every
section of his monstrous frame froze as they stared at one another. Every
muscle in his body tensed. Trying to find his voice, all the while, his mind
screamed inside his head. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">MINE…Take her…she is yours…why do you
hesitate?</i> Then his cock, damn it to hell, throbbed violently inside his
jeans from its confinement. It pleaded to be released and introduced to her
core, as quickly as possible. Swallowing hard, Alaois tried to regain his
self-control and find some kind of inner gallantry, being rusty on the treatment
of a beautiful female who shockingly provoked something raw within him. A
feeling unusual and most unexpected, for no female in his lifetime had affected
him in such a way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“My
name is Alaios. What is your…”<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>Alaois suddenly unable to continue when a
feverish swell of the glands inside his mouth and throat exploded from a much
stronger scent coming from her…<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blood! </i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">WTF? </span></i><span style="font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Moving his gaze toward
the mouth watering aroma, Alaois spotted the alluring blood dripping out from
its binding located on the inside of her arm, and his whole body began to
quiver. The bloodlust rose within him to take what flat out invited him over
into temptation. Grinding his teeth, Alaois had to hold his breath, for any
moment his body and mouth could easily seize this female prey, fully consuming
that which was now being graciously offered before him. While she would be
nothing but food to others, his instincts told him so, yet all his senses
shouted <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Mine. Protect!</i> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Californian FB","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He
raged a battle to hold himself back, fearing he would hurt her; Alaois
collapsed on his knees at her feet. He brought his hands up covering his face,
shielding his exposed fangs and barked out for her to run. Perceiving her feet
moving closer toward him, he did the only thing he could do. Alaois removed his
hands from his face, glared up at her locking his pained gaze with her innocent
one and bared his fangs shouting out in a hiss of hunger. “I. SAID. RUN!” </span></div>
