Time Tripping to England
by Morgan O<span lang="en">’</span>Neill</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Did you ever wonder how authors get
inspiration for scenes in their novels? We, co-authors Cary Morgan
Frates and Deborah O<span lang="en">’</span>Neill Cordes, have used
our actual experiences and things that happened to us and our family
members, some of which occurred well before we were born. This became
fodder for scenes in <i>Begun by Time, the Prequel to The Thornless
Rose.</i> What time trippy fun!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
English pubs and restaurants figure
prominently in <i>Begun by Time</i>. Cary lived in London for a year
and recalls several visits to a wonderful pub that has existed in the
same spot since the 1540s. Atmospheric and inviting, she remembers
having a pint or two on cold, damp days––or was that Scotch
whiskey in the summer? She hopes to go back in the near future,
perhaps to meet up with that special someone, a handsome man with
deep blue eyes. And so, it seemed natural it should become our
fictional pub, The Bishop<span lang="en">’</span>s Crook, where
Jonathan Brandon (who also has blue eyes!) and our other characters
meet their futures headlong––in the past.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
One incident was passed down in
Deborah<span lang="en">’</span>s family. On a wintry day in the
1930s, her maternal grandfather came home with something hidden
beneath his coat, a bulge in his breast pocket. Everyone assumed it
was a bottle of “good cheer,” until it started to wiggle. Out
popped the head of a dachshund puppy! Deborah<span lang="en">’</span>s
uncle, then a little boy, promptly called the pup Whiskey. The name
stuck, and Whiskey became a beloved family member. Deborah
incorporated some of this story into <i>Begun by Time</i> and <i>The
Thornless Rose</i>, in the scenes where Dr. Jonathan Brandon gives a
Christmas gift to his fiancée, Catherine, just before he vanishes.
The amusing incident takes on poignancy as time goes on and Jonathan
doesn<span lang="en">’</span>t return, for Catherine realizes the
dog was his last gift to her.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

We hope you enjoy <i>Begun by Time</i>.
Thank you––and happy reading!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">At the Institute, they breed people like livestock. One powerful doctor decides which children get to grow up, and which will die. Losers are dumped in the savage slum outside Institute walls. Those kids never come back. Sixteen-year-old Michelle is a perfect specimen, destined for a luxurious life as a breeder. When her brother and her boyfriend are both mysteriously culled from the breeding program, she jumps the wall to find them. Alone in the ghetto, she’s in trouble until handsome, streetwise Dillon stakes a claim to her. She’s mortified by her attraction to a Normal. But the doctor is using the missing boys in a twisted experiment, and she needs Dillon’s help to stop him. Michelle must rescue the boys, but a plague is spreading, the doctor is after her, and Dillon isn’t thrilled to help find her lost boyfriend.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Excerpt:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“The
game is every man for himself,” Salomon announced. “Your
objective is to be the first to push the large black button on the
south wall of the gym. You will be timed. Certain, eh-hmm,
difficulties may impede your progress. That is all. You may begin.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Younger boys surged
forward, but stopped when they saw that none of the older ones were
rushing in. “Difficulties!” Brian reminded them, putting a hand
on Nick’s chest to keep him from charging in there like an idiot.
“That means a trap. There’s always a trap.”
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“More than one,
usually,” Seth added grimly. “These tests aren’t all physical,
they test your problem-solving capacity too.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
The
boys fidgeted uncertainly at the boundary, peering in but carefully
staying outside the white painted line on the floor. The smallest
ones looked sick with apprehension. Tests turned nasty once kids
turned thirteen, and this would be their first hard one. Deaths
during tests were rare, but they did happen, especially among the
youngsters.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Who
wants to run in there and spring it for us?” Brian grinned. No one
did. He bent to yank his shoes off, muttering to himself, “He had
his off.” A few other kids followed suit.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Where’s the
big black button?” Nick demanded, hopping up and down to get a
better look. “I don’t see it!”
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Neither
do we.” Brian grabbed the wiry kid and hoisted him up for a better
view. Nick grabbed a wad of Brian’s hair and nimbly stood up on the
bigger boy’s shoulders. He hadn’t taken off his shoes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Ow,
Nick, that hurts.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I see the button!” Nick shouted, leaning dangerously to one side
to look between poles. “It’s way up high! Too high, and too far
from the next pole.” The kid swayed and deftly hopped down before
falling. “I don’t see how anyone’s going to reach it.”
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
The
doctor touched a finger to his glowing bracelet and his platform
rose, carrying him up and away. His high laugh echoed back from
somewhere near the ceiling. “Bonus points to Nicholas Arnold, for
being the first person to pose the right question. And the clock is
ticking.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Go!”
Guys in the back began to push. “We’re being timed!”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Fine,
go.” Brian stepped aside and let an eager eighteen-year-old shove
his way in. The muscular black boy put one tennis shoe over the line
and the green lights on his bracelet began to move in a swirling
pattern around and around his wrist.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Look!”
The boy held up his arm.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Dhorian, you’re on!” Seth bellowed. “Go!”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Dhorian
hesitated for a moment, and then grabbed the line that hung off the
nearest pole. He began to climb. Boys held their breath, leaning in
to see what would happen. Nothing did. For a long moment everything
was still, and then a shout came from above. “I made it! I’m up!”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
A
stampede began as boys surged across the line. Some became entangled
in the foam bushes. Those turned out to be horribly sticky, and
getting through them was nearly impossible. A few guys made it to
poles and began to climb. Seth, Brian, and Todd waited behind the
white line. “Let ‘em trigger it for us,” Todd breathed, but
nothing happened.</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Simultaneously,
their three bracelets made warning beeps and the lights turned
orange. “Aw, hell, we’re out of time!” Brian exclaimed, and
waded into the foam forest with his friends. Behind them, the wall
slid shut, leaving the room in sudden darkness. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; white-space: normal;">Dr. Jonathan Brandon disappeared one day in 1945... vanished, never to be see again, leaving his fiancee Catherine behind. Years later, her granddaughter, Anne Howard starts experiencing mysterious tugs from the past. Though unbelieving at first, she begins to understand what might have happened to Jonathan Brandon and how he was forced to abandon all he knew... because Anne is afraid that same thing is happening to her.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; white-space: normal;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; white-space: normal;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; white-space: normal;">Morgan O'Neill has redefined the genre of time travel with this fantastical adventure into the Elizabethan past, with all the ceremony of the time period, costuming brought to life... as well as the unsavory of the time. I very much enjoyed this tale! I can't wait for more from the writing duo of Deborah O'Neill Cordes and Cary Morgan Frates who become Morgan O'Neill. Highly recommend this book to all lovers of Historical Romance or anyone who is looking for a grand adventure wrapped up in the pages of a book. Excellent.</span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">There are three rules in the small town of Leeds Point, New Jersey: </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Never stay out after dark. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Never go into the Pineys. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">And, more than anything, never speak of the Jersey Devil. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Serenity Cantwell knows all too well the Jersey Devil exists. The recurring nightmares of his glowing green eyes make their way into her dreams, causing her to relive her encounter with the beast every single night. But as people she knows start to disappear, and end up dead in the middle of the Pine Barrens, she pushes away her fear of the forest in search of answers. </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">What she finds will change her life forever. Secrets will be revealed, a curse will be set in motion, and friendships will be tested. But most of all, love could prove to be deadly. </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Lucy Eaton had a job she loved as a Teaching Assistant at a </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Special Needs </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">School and a boyfriend who struggled with </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">commitment </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">issues. Life was good, </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">not great, but good, until one day </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Lady Luck paid </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Lucy a visit and a life that </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">most people could only </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">dream of opened </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">up to her. With the creases of every </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">day life ironed </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">out, she could </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">sit back and live the dream.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">But what if that dream doesn't turn out to be what you thought you </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">wanted? </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Want and need are two very different things. The head wants, </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">but the heart </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">needs, and as generous and fortuitous as life can be, </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">it can also be incredibly </span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">cruel. No one gets to live a creaseless life. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">That is something Lucy will soon discover.</span></div>

<span class="s1">Writing Adam Ford – Even Heroes Cry</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">An emotion filled, heroic read!<br /><br />Buy Link: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Even-Heroes-Fords-Nashville-Book-ebook/dp/B00NQI3PXW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415724903&sr=8-1&keywords=Even+Heroes+Cry+by+Hildie+McQueen" target="_blank">Amazon</a></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">I lay in the darkness, tears trailed from the corner of my eyes and plopped onto the pillow. The video I’d watched replayed in my mind and I could not shake the heaviness in my chest at seeing the helplessness in so many young men’s eyes. The vacant looks of no longer expecting life to ever get better. The loss of their personal life, after months or years of fighting for our country.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">The research for Even Heroes Cry took its toll on me and yet I knew it was important if I was to try to bring the horror of PTSD to life in Adam Ford. I had to feel what he felt and know as much as possible how it would affect a person.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">Adam Ford was a leader in the military, someone in control who commanded soldiers. He raced head on into the most dangerous war zones. He flew a helicopter directly into lines of fire to save injured soldiers and carry them back to safety. He jumped out of the safety of the chopper to drag men under sniper attack away from danger, getting shot multiple times while saving their lives. Yes I was writing a larger than life hero, but he did exist to me. He is real.<br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">In the current thirteen year long war in the Middle East, many Adam Fords have risen to the challenges and done as much as my fictional hero. They’ve rushed through what seemed insurmountable obstacles to save their fellow servicemen or have died trying. Today’s heroes are young brilliant people who return home broken and damaged.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">When I finished this story, I let out a breath, my eyes misted and I hoped that somehow I made Adam Ford a man that represented the battle these brave servicemen and women face upon returning from active fire directly into a different war that rages within.</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Ripped from her deathbed, Noah transports Kate to the Olam Yetzirah, the dimension where universes form. They seek the advice of the archangel, Michael, in how best to get back to Earth and their children. Kate’s son and their newborn daughter, Lucia, the one spoken of in the prophecy Gemini Rising, await their return. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Trouble arises and concern ripples through the Olam. Kate is unable to make the transition from human to bond mate and her dreams of returning to Earth with Noah are crushed. Uriel will become Kate’s mentor while Noah is dispatched to Naresh, his home planet and to his people to whom the <i>Light</i> no longer speaks. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Will Kate become the bond mate she is meant to be? Will Noah find welcome with his people or will they despise him for taking the <i>Light</i> from their souls. Most important of all, will the prophecy of Lucia be fulfilled, or will Belial, demon of Hades, murder her in a fit of jealous rage. </span></div>

<span class="s1"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b></b></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>True love keeps no track of wrongdoing. </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Memory flooding back, Belial lay with Saddash on the banks of the river, wishing he could make his mind a blank for all eternity. After a time, listening to the water’s ebb and flow, his anxiety eased. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">While in the river, Saddash had taken him into her arms. Together they melded, but as usual, the joining was not complete. Since Saddash was not his bond mate the ritual left him empty, and instead of building flame the act brought him sorrow even as it provided physical relief. A part of him would always be with Sheren no matter where the <i>Light</i> had taken her. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">“You think of that woman.” Saddash’s eyes were spiteful as she brushed back a lock of blue-black hair. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Her burnished body gleamed in the misty twilight, catching rays from the setting shoshrana sun above. Starlight glanced off the contours of her skin, adding to her lustrous beauty. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">He answered her, “I do.” </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">“Why did you let her go?” </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">“It was not of my choosing.” </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Saddash circled one nipple with a nail. “Am I not as good as her?” </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">“You are better.” </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">A pleased expression crossed her face and he wondered that she could not detect his lie. She should have. He had given her the power to do so, but it was always this way. Incomplete and alone he faced the world, his bond mate forever separated from his side, her clone unable or unwilling to share his life completely. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">The day of his bond mate’s betrayal had dawned with each of them entwined within the other’s arms. He had a surprise for her, something to celebrate their years together. A golden dragon sculpted by the finest artist in the universe. He couldn’t wait to see her face. He thought a moment, thinking of when he’d first laid eyes on her, the raven-haired beauty of Beriah. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">He had stolen Sheren from the world of creation. There, only souls of the highest luminosity could live and Sheren was the loveliest. Fair of face, dark of hair and eye, lithe of body, her arms had held him close, providing comfort to one of the <i>Light’s</i> rejected. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">“Belial?” </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">“Quiet, Saddash.” He gazed across the river, his memory fading into the past. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">On the day of Sheren’s disloyalty, they had been abed for hours, each of them enjoying the other in a dance of lovemaking that would make the <i>Light</i> blush—until she said the unthinkable. </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>“I want another child.” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>“You what?” Her request had shaken him to the core, thinking this subject had been put to rest. Taking a sip of memosky, he searched for the right words to answer her demand. The thought of a child was anathema. No one would come between him and his bond mate, least of all a newly created soul. </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>“A child, Belial. I want—no I need a child.” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>“Whatever for? You can create one if you will. Just think of one by Hades!” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>Her eyes burned bright with tears. “Remember Haon? He came from my loins and did us both proud. Until you murdered him and our grandchild.” She sat up, her eyes bright with tears. “You and that prophecy. You fear it, don’t you. You really believe a child will take you from your rightful place in the universe.” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i> “Why now?” He rose from bed, dragging the sheet across the floor. “We have everything! Why must you have a child?” He would never forget her answer. </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>“The </i>Light<i> told me to ask</i>.” </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>Fury exploding within, he morphed into demon-hood and staggered toward her, one hand ready to rip the soul from her body. “How dare you consult that insipient Being, that, that…!” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>Sheren did not cringe. She had never been afraid of him and that had won his respect. She said again, “I want a child.” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>Towering over her, his hand bent into a reptilian claw, he cried, “I’ll see you dead first.” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>Instead of meeting his anger with fear she smiled, the light from her inner being shining on her face. He stood down, instantly morphing into personhood, the pain encompassing his soul not easily forgiven. He hissed, “I cannot believe you would ask such a thing.” </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>Ebony eyes looked back, the agony of her request filling him, letting him know that once again he would accede to her wishes. </i></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><i>She finished, “Still, I want a child.”</i> </span></div>

<br />
The last thing Kathryn, children’s book author turned magazine and short story writer, wanted was to move away from her beloved San Francisco. Nevertheless, she and her 13-year-old son Ryan have little choice in the matter when her husband, famous archeologist Jason Kelly, receives a grant to excavate a newly discovered Anasazi village in the Arizona desert. Missing the salt air and misty mornings of the Bay area, Kate hates the dusty heat of Arizona. Morose over the move, she’s resentful when Jason chooses to spend more time at the dig than at home in Sedona.<br />
<br />
After the comet Eros appears overhead, clouding the skies with red dust, Kate begins having strange, frightening nightmares. Then a gigantic UFO appears in the night sky and the repeating message — PREPARE FOR THE CROSSING — mysteriously appears on her computer screen. When she waves to a Native American woman at the dig, a testy Jason tells her that she must be seeing things because there are no women associated with the dig. What most upsets her, however, is the pure sexual arousal she experiences when Jason introduces her to Noah, a young dig worker just out of university.<br />
<br />
Similarly attracted to Kate, Noah is more than the sexy green-eyed hunk he appears to be. A thousand years old, he’s been assigned to help Kate and Ryan through the <i>Crossing of Nibiru</i>, the planet humanity has mistaken for a comet. He commands the <i>Nektosha</i>, one of the Galactic Counsel spaceships preparing to rescue the <i>Chosen</i> — the animals and humans picked to reseed Earth following the destruction wrought by Nibiru’s passing. Unbeknownst to Kate, she has been chosen to record the crumbling of Earth’s latest and most advanced civilization. Ryan as well has a calling. Gifted by the aliens with the ability to heal, he will be charged with saving the handful of people who survive the violent earthquakes, floods and shifting of poles on the Earth’s surface.<br />
<br />
Once Noah announces his true purpose on Earth, Jason refuses to believe in either aliens or the catastrophic end of time. When Noah removes Kate and Ryan to the safety of his ship, Jason’s inability to believe leaves him stranded on earth, launching him on a separate journey that will change not only his narrow outlook of the universe, but the man he grew up to become. Meanwhile, Kate and Noah discover a love so deep that humanity is reborn through their bond, newer and better than it was before. But what will it mean to an Earth recovering from destruction in an intergalactic age?<br />
<br />
<b>Louann Carroll’s</b> fundamental idea for </span><span class="s2"><b>Gemini Rising</b></span><span class="s1"> came to her in a dream, but the plot is loosely based on actual archeological discoveries relating to Sumerian history and the famous Mayan Calendar. Nibiru actually exists! According to a small group of current conspiracy theorists, the rogue tenth planet will pass through our solar system on its 3,600-year orbit around the sun, dooming Earth to cataclysmic destruction, sometime in December 2012. They contend that NASA is currently tracking Nibiru, but that the information is being kept from the public as part of a worldwide conspiracy. We'll see...<br />
<br />
Packed with prophesy, pain and passion; with love, devastation and renewal, </span><span class="s2"><b>Gemini Rising</b></span><span class="s1"> is the memorable introduction to what promises to be an epic intergalactic/interdimensional series that will rock sci-fi readers to the core. This first book is set in the near future in the United Socialist States. America is plagued with many of the consequences that today’s conservatives believe we will face if our government continues down its current liberal path. Yet, as frightening as this future world becomes, it didn’t once occur to me to put this book down. Simply put, it's one of the most amazing, yet unsettling books I’ve ever read. For <b>Ms. Carroll</b>, it’s a crowning achievement, so masterfully written it can do nothing but win every award for which it’s certain to be nominated.<br />
<br />
The mystical love story of Noah and Kate is both sweet and awe-inspiring. It drew so many tears from me in spots that I had to stop reading to mop up the flood. Otherwise, I was completely lost in this book. The ceiling could have fallen in on me and I wouldn’t have noticed. Kate, despite all her initial wailing, resentfulness and depression over each and every danger, adversity and harsh condition she had to face, always rises to the occasion. She is probably a more authentic heroine than we sometimes see in romance novels. Accustomed to Jason’s overbearing and demeaning attitude toward her, she’s a typical woman forced to face adversities so monumental that she’s ill equipped to handle them. Noah, on the other hand, is a complete rock, solid and enduring in his devotion to Kate and to his mission to save humanity.<br />
<br />
</span><span class="s2"><b>Gemini Rising</b></span><span class="s1"> is a truly superb book, arguably the best futuristic novel to come down the pike in quite sometime. Don't miss it. Its anticlimactic ending will leave you with what <b>Ms. Carroll</b> calls a “haunting echo” of what is to come sometime in 2013 with the release of </span><span class="s2"><b>The Light and the Flame</b></span><span class="s1">, the first of several highly anticipated sequels.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Californian Gwendolyn Godwyn seeks to learn her family's history and hopes to restore the bond that once existed between her Italian forebearers and those who live in America. While visiting her ancestral Italian town, Gwen is caught in a violent earthquake and inexplicably thrust through time. At first refusing to believe what has happened, she nevertheless uses her wits to survive, donning a monk's cowl to hide her identity as a woman. Ripped apart from all she has ever known, Gwen finds herself in the midst of brutal territorial battles in an era she once blithely called "The Dark Ages." When the golden Italian summer of 951 emerges from the strife and gloom, Gwen joins forces with a cadre of gallant men, allies in the struggle against the evil nobles, Willa of Tuscany and Count Berengar, kidnappers of Italy's rightful queen, Adelaide. Along with Father Warinus and Lord Alberto Uzzo, Gwen seeks to rescue Adelaide and restore her kingdom. In the midst of this great adventure, Gwen falls in love with the complex and passionate Alberto, to whom she reveals her identity as a woman. But can Alberto learn to love her strong and independent nature and help Gwen in her quest to discover her rightful place in time?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Time-Enough-Love-Italian-Travel-ebook/dp/B00NPCGH34/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412780366&sr=8-3&keywords=Morgan+O%27Neill" target="_blank">Time Enough For Love (Book Two of the Italian Time Travel Series 2)</a></span><br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If Robert Rodriquez (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Sin City</span></a>), <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0141842/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Tony Soprano</span></a>, and David Lynch (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098936/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Twin Peaks</span></a>) made sweet love to a Hawaiian version of The Bride (Uma Thurman's character from Quentin Tarantino's <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266697/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Kill Bill</span></a>), the resulting spawn might look like Kendall Grey’s upcoming mystery/suspense/supernatural thriller, HOT-BLOODED.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The first installment in the <i>Ohana</i> series, HOT-BLOODED is set on the island of Maui and is wrapped in the light and dark watercolors of Hawaiian culture, history, and mythology. It's about guns, drugs, surfing, and tiki monsters. HOT-BLOODED tells the tale of a ballsy, half-Hawaiian angel-turned-demon, the duplicitous assassin who falls for her, and the blessings and curses of family—all wrapped up in freaky, supernatural gift paper.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here's the description:<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b>WARNING:</b> HOT-BLOODED does NOT end with a happily ever after. It contains drug use and graphic sex, language, and violence. The story is intended to entertain, not to condone or glorify illegal or immoral activities. This book is unsuitable for sensitive readers and those under the age of 18.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">*Written in 3rd person. Contains a massive cliffhanger and multiple POVs.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><i>Ohana</i> is everything…<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">When an accident claims her mother’s life, Keahilani Alana must take charge of her <i>ohana</i> (family) or risk losing what little they have. With an underage brother to care for and no education, she has few options. The door to a heavenly hellish opportunity opens when she stumbles upon a valuable secret her mother left behind on the slopes of an extinct volcano—a legacy that tempts the family with riches beyond their wildest dreams. But the secret is much bigger and more sinister than they realize. As reality unravels and exposes eerie truths about the <i>ohana</i> that should have remained deep under the mountain, Keahilani must either resist the call of her blood or risk being consumed by its darkness.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Blake Murphy is an assassin working to infiltrate a new Hawaiian cartel. His investigation reveals that Keahilani, the sexy surfing instructor he pegged as an informant, is much closer to the drug ring than he thought. Passion ignites between them in the bedroom, but their ironclad ties to opposing interests pit them against each other everywhere else.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">When tensions reach the breaking point and her <i>ohana</i> is threatened, the only cure for Keahilani’s hot-blooded fury is a loaded clip with a body bag chaser.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">They don’t call her Pele for nothing.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Thanks for visiting with us today!! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: It’s great to be here with you today, Dottie. Thanks for inviting me.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: Why don't you start by telling my readers a little bit about yourself?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: I hear voices and I make things up. No, I’m not insane, I’m a writer…okay maybe a little insane. I left my career in education early so I could pursue my writing with the blessing of my wonderful husband, Rich, aka my Sweet Baboo. I know my muse’s name (Boris) and when I am writing, time slips by like…well, like sands through the hourglass. These are the days of my life. I wrote my first book, <i>Love’s Destiny</i>, on a dare and when I retired from teaching I polished it off and submitted it. Crimson Romance picked it up and I became a published author! I wrote it as a stand-alone, but my readers wanted to know what happened next, so I wrote <i>Love’s Spirit</i>. I’ve just released my third book, <i>The Cavanaugh House</i>, which is a mystery not a historical romance.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: What drew you to the craft of writing? </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: I don’t think I was drawn; I think writing is a part of me like my blue eyes or my weird sense of humor. But I know the affirmation of some of my teachers helped me to believe in my writing ability.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: Do you write for the story burning to be told or do you write for a character that won't leave you alone?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: I love this question! Characters talk to me. Often a scene is born when I hear dialogue in my head—maybe just a sentence or two—I write it down and the scene unfolds. My first book, <i>Love’s Destiny,</i> started with a question, “What if an English woman fell in love with a colonial patriot?” Voila—instant conflict.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: Are you a pantser or plotter?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: Panster. Even when I try to plot, it doesn’t work.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: What advice would you give to others in the journey to becoming published?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: I hear Steve Perry from Journey in the background: “Hold on to Your Dreams”. Believe in yourself, read all you can read from successful authors and never give up. Subscribe to writers’ magazine, sites and journals especially in the genre you write. You’ll see why in the next question.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: Did you have a long line of submissions before you “got the call”? For those readers would wonder, how long did the submission process take for you?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: I have to admit that mine is a Cinderella story. I was in the process of self-publishing <i>Love’s Destiny</i> when I saw a call for submissions from Crimson Romance. I submitted a chapter and synopsis and they asked for my full manuscript. A contract soon followed, and I was published a few months later. Writers seeking publication should always be on the lookout for calls for submissions.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: If your book was going to be made into a movie, who would play your heroine? Hero? Bad guy?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: In my recent book, <i>The Cavanaugh House</i>, Jennifer Lawrence would play Jesse and Prince Harry would play Joe. Yeah, I know Prince Harry isn’t an actor, but he seems open to many different kinds of experiences. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: Where can we find you and your books?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: You can find all three of my books at my author pages at:</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: I love Jesse and Joe from <i>The Cavanaugh House</i>. The story is set in 1968 before cell phones. Here is an excerpt from when they first meet:</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Whatever existed on the other side of the door was now a part of her existence, too. This abandoned and rejected house was all she had. And she was all this house had. <i>We’re in this together</i>. Straightening her shoulders, she took a deep breath and selected the key. She was surprised that the Yale key worked so easily in the old lock. Her heart pounded as she turned the doorknob and entered the house.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">It took a moment for Jesse’s eyes to adjust to the dim interior, for the windows were thick with grime, and the trees filtered out most of the sunlight. The centrally located door opened into a small foyer, a room on either side. Straight ahead was a staircase, and beside it, a hall led to the kitchen. Musty air invaded her nostrils, dust turned everything a dull pale gray, and she felt ancient, powdery motes settle upon her like a second skin. Lacy cobwebs stretched from the high corners to the brass light fixtures hanging in the middle of the ceilings. She heard scurrying at the far end of the hall and resisted the urge to run outside.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">To her right was the dining room with a door on the far wall that led back to the kitchen. Turning left, she entered the living room, sparsely furnished with drop cloths draped over the pieces. A chair sat perpendicular to a sofa with a round coffee table in front. A floor lamp hung its head in the space between the sofa and chair, and nestled in a far corner was an oak secretary with a drop-down desk. Drooping at the windows were barkcloth drapes that once had boasted white gardenias on a rose background, but now hung in faded tatters, eaten away by dry rot.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Jesse turned slowly, surveying the room.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Wow,” she said. “Wow, wow, wow.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Her thoughts traveled to Robert’s apartment with its white leather furniture, glass and chrome accent tables, and carpeting so thick it was like walking on moss. It was as though she was on a “Rat Pack” set when she was there; everything was sleek and modern, tasteful and expensive. She had lived in that world for the past two years. And like its furnishings, that world had turned out to be less ideal than it appeared. A world more than just miles away from this dilapidated house.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Mustering her courage, she pulled the fabric off the sofa. She shrieked as a flurry of grey shapes scattered in all directions—one straight toward her. She panicked as paws scurried across her sandaled foot. Mice! Goosebumps prickled her skin and adrenalin shot though her body. Heart pounding, she ran out the front door, off the porch and bolted to her car. Her knees gave out and she collapsed, trembling.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Are you okay?” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Grabbing the door handle, she pulled herself up and looked around for the voice’s owner.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“I’m over here,” he said.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">She looked toward the road and saw a blue pickup truck at the end of the driveway. Leaning out the driver’s-side window was a man about her age, with tousled red hair. Humor lit up his mouth and softened his strong jawline and rugged face.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Are you okay?” he repeated as he climbed out of his truck and started toward her.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Jesse brushed herself off and ran her fingers through her hair.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Oh, yes, I’m fine,” she said.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">She saw his hazel eyes twinkle with amusement. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“I can see that. In a hurry to get somewhere? I noticed your quick exit.”</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">She looked at her watch and gasped. It was after 2 p.m. If she were going to get any utilities started, she needed to get to town. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“I need to get my utilities started.” </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><i>Oh, that sounded intelligent.</i> She was a little off balance, and not just because of the mice encounter; this man’s gaze was warm and unsettling. He chuckled.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">“Well, I would never want to keep a woman from that.”</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Me: What are your future plans for your series? Are you cooking up a new one?</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Elizabeth: I have a third book in my <i>Love’s Destiny</i> series that will probably be my next major project. And I have at least one sequel to <i>The Cavanaugh House</i>.</span></div>

From the Cover:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Josiah McClintock finds himself at a crossroads. A choice between remaining in Alder Gulch or returning to his previous life. A life that he's kept hidden from everyone, including Laura, the woman in his care after a terrible tragedy. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Laura Foster isn't sure she has a reason to live after so many losses. Although she doesn't understand why Josiah insists on being her protector, his presence in her life becomes the only beacon of hope for a future. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Will they be able to ever come together and when they do will their love overcome secrets, tragedies and the danger that looms? </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Josiah McClintock isn't your average Montana cowboy, he's hiding a secret that he's been unwilling to share. The Cole's took him in when he didn't have anywhere else to turn, after the death of his love, Hannah, and the kidnapping of her little sister, Emily. Now, he has the news he didn't want, both from his mother and from the detective searching for Emily. Should he return home as his mother demanded or should he continue with the life he'd made for himself in Montana?</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Laura Foster has been abused most of her life. First by her parents and then from her common law husband, Frank Foster. If not for her infant son, Gabe, she'd be lost. After assuming Frank has died, she heads to Alder Gulch, and right into Josiah McClintock's life. Laura pulls in inside herself her tragedy strikes, and Josiah may be the only one who can understand. When he leaves, she assumes it forever.

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">After almost losing
her Uncle Phen during the investigation of her mother’s murder,
Felicia “Lucky” Fascino cut all ties and ran away, hoping her
family would move on and forget the promises they made. Putting the
past behind her has never been easy, but Lucky knows the job is
slowly destroying her already fractured psyche. Staying away,
especially now that her family is in danger, is the only way to keep
everyone safe. </span>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Kenji Zinn,
determined to locate his ex-lover, tracks Lucky to a small island
with her family’s help, and finds her in a miserable and
self-destructive condition. His connection to her is strained after
months apart but his feelings haven’t change, and he attempts to
persuade her to come home, to protect her family and keep her
promise. Despite her obvious mental fatigue, only Phen is able to
convince her that the way to get closure is finding an elusive man
named Quimby and take him out permanently. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Once home, Lucky
breaks it off with Kenji, and agrees to go back to work if Phen
promises to let her go when it’s done. While her family continues
to track their target, Lucky returns to work for the
network—struggling through each job, aware that pushing her family
away won’t bring anyone the peace they deserve. As she begins to
repair her shattered relationships, her true feelings for Kenji are
tested when she almost loses him completely. Before it’s too late,
Lucky realizes he’s her best ally to help her finish what she
started and find Quimby before he strikes again.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Kenji is at ‘the
compound’ recovering…</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Kenji jerked up,
waking the instant the doors shut. Looking over, he saw her walk in.
His heart thumped. His stomach churned, causing the wound to throb.
It felt like he was dying a slow, poisonous death.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Wearing a sports bra
and tight spandex shorts, Felicia moved to the mat and stretched. The
thick, curly locks pulled back to reveal her stunning face and bright
golden, catlike eyes. She appeared healthier, vibrant again. Filled
out, with the curves he loved to trace.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.02in; margin-top: 0.02in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> Kenji
shuddered, attempting to ignore his natural response to her as he
stood up. Noticing immediately, she spun around and gawked at him.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Didn’t
know anyone was here.” She turned</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;">, picked up her towel, and went
for the door.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Felicia,”
he said and crossed the room, forcing his body to move faster than it
liked. He winced near the treadmill, paused, and grabbed the rail.
She lurched forward.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Easy,”
she chided and bit her lip.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “I
am fine,” he said. “I will be leaving shortly.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Okay,”
she said while hanging her head. “As long as you’re well enough.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Irrelevant.
I have stayed too long.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Don’t
let me being here stop you from getting better. You won’t see me
again.” Her tone turned tight, sharp.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> He
bridged the distance slowly, nearing the weight bench. “Until you
sneak into my room again.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;">Felicia whipped around, storming toward
the exit. </span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;">“How long will you ignore what you feel for me?”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “What?”
She seemed genuinely shocked by his question but didn’t miss a beat
with her retort: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Why
did you come to my room?” He followed her to the exit.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “To
say good-bye,” she said.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Every
word you speak is a lie. You do not want me to leave anymore than I
want to go.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Keep
telling yourself that, maybe you’ll believe it one day.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">“</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Is it so hard to
admit you care?” She paused at the door and stared at him,
emotionless. “No, you are too stubborn. You </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>will</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
realize you want me, and it will be too late. I hope you are willing
to live with your choice.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “I
am,” she said.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Go.
All you do is run away.” He wave at hand to the door and shook his
head.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">“</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Fuck you.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">“</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Do you fear what
I make you feel that much?”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">“</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Listen, I just
wanted to tell you my side, okay? That’s all. I know what I did was
wrong. I tried to make that perfectly clear. It was despicable and
hurtful. The drinking wasn’t an excuse; it’s just an explanation.
I wasn’t myself. I don’t expect you to accept my apology. I just
wanted you to have it because it’s the right thing to do. Gives us
both a clean break.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> Kenji
wasn’t getting through; Felicia ignored everything he said. He
didn’t care about that anymore. He wanted her to admit the truth.
Confess what he saw in her eyes. Want him to stay. “You think a few
words etched on a sheet of paper are a proper apology? Why not tell
me to my face?”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> Her
pitch rose. “You didn’t want me to know you were here. Why would
I think you’d want to see me?”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “You
were on assignment. I know you did not need </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>another
</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">disruption.”
He looked knowingly into her eyes; she glanced away. “I said I
would never trouble you again, and I have stayed true to my word. You
approached me."</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “You
barged in on </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>my</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">
family!”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “They
offered help if I ever needed it. I left you alone,” he said, the
anger seething like an overcooked broth, rising to the rim. “If not
for you, this injury would not be here!”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “Oh,
so it’s my fault you did a shitty job?” She placed both hands on
her hips in defiance. His blood boiled, but he didn’t dare move
closer. Then she laughed. Kenji almost snapped. “It’s all over
your face; you fucked up all on your own, fella.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “You
know that is a lie. Have you been flawless these last few months?”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “I’m
fine,” she said, slapping her thighs.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

you are, for this long, and I am supposed to believe you are fine?
The shame must have been torture for you; a confession only helps so
much.”</span><span style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">“</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">It was an
</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>explanation.</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;">”</span></div>

wallowed in your suffering?” When she glared at him, he smirked. He
had</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"> ammunition to use as well. “I know you, Felicia.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “You
used to.” She crossed her arms over her chest.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> Felicia
tilted her chin higher, eyes narrowing. “I’m bulletproof now.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> “I
waste my words on you,” he said and approached. The slight trembles
in her body told him the truth. Yet she stood there, resistant as
ever. He looked down at her before passing. “</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Sayōnara</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">,
Felicia.”</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Over 5,000 years ago, Sumerian cuneiform tablets warned future
civilizations of the planet Nibiru. Every six thousand years the tenth
planet crosses Earth's solar system spreading death and destruction.
During its latest crossing Kate and Ryan Kelly learn to survive a
post-apocalyptic Earth.<br /><br />Sent to help sustain Earth, Noah, a
member of the intergalactic counsel, joins with Kate, the chosen
recorder of the end of days. One woman, and one offworlder collide with
the ambiguous Light becoming humanities salvation. Out of tragedy is
born a love that forever changes mankind. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;">What would you do when faced with a global apocalypse? Kate, Ryan and Jason begin a journey together, and as the world as they know it comes to a close, will any of them survive?<br /><br />Kate is forced to move from her beloved San Francisco by the demands of her husband's career. The desert becomes her home with its unbreathably arid environment, where even cactus struggle for existence. How are people meant to survive? Her son Ryan doesn't share her disillusionment, but he struggles in his own way for acceptance. Jason appears unfeeling to his family's unbalanced needs, he continues with his life, angered, but unable to figure out why.<br /><br />When a catastrophic event occurs, their family is pulled apart by need, refusal to believe and predestined design. It becomes a question of survival, acceptance and desire. Only time will tell who has the will to endure. Noah, an unaging alien, provides what Earthlings and humanity needs to make living possible, but barely. He becomes entrapped by Kate, but is it her destiny to bring new life to a planet that has ceased to be a welcoming home?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gemini-Rising-Louann-Carroll-ebook/dp/B00381AL0M/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1392911122&sr=1-1&keywords=Gemini+Rising+by+Louann+Carroll" target="_blank">Gemini Rising by Louann Carroll</a> tell the story of entwining lives, all is not as it seems and the benevolent creatures may not be as forgiving and caring as they claim to be.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Cooper Sullivan is the cop in charge of
investigating a murder outside of a Los Angeles night club. The
famous romance author, Sydney Essex, has been found strangled in the
parking lot. When the young officer returns to the scene of the
crime the night after the murder, he gets involved in a fight in
order to protect a woman, who he realizes afterward, is the victim’s
sister. Soon he finds himself torn by his attraction to the
irresistible blond teacher, and his need to maintain a professional
distance.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Laney Essex is distraught over her
sister’s death, so the high school English teacher returns to the
bar where the crime occurred to find answers. To her dismay, she is
only left with more questions, many centered on her developing
relationship with Cooper Sullivan. Is the pull she’s feeling
towards him reciprocated, or is the handsome detective only showing
her professional courtesy, or, perhaps, even pity?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When Laney receives a threatening phone
call from Sydney’s murderer, it quickly becomes evident that the
man who killed her sister is after her, too! Can Cooper figure out
who the killer is before it’s too late? And if he does solve the
case, will it just be another file stamped “CLOSED” in red and
locked away in a drawer, or will the sparks that have been flying
between the two finally ignite?</div>

<br />
When Nora Banks hides in a hayloft to find a moment of peace, she
doesn't expect the man she's loved from afar for years to climb up and
join her, or that both their fathers find them in such a compromising
situation.
<br />
<br />
The last thing Grayson Cole wants is to be attached to the only
woman that's affected him since his late wife. Now that everyone expects
him to marry her, can he risk that kind of pain again?
<br />
<br />
Neither Nora nor Grayson plan to go through with the marriage, not
when their pasts are obstacles too great to overcome. But when the
tides turn and those that demanded the wedding now try pull them apart,
they decide to fight it.<br />

<br />
From the Cover: <style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
For supernatural detectives Thulu and
La Fi, “normal” is a relative term. La Fi is a medium, Thulu is a
finder, and their usual clients are already dead.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
But when their friend Reo is shot, and
a group of stranded angels show up at their house for help to find a
missing child, things are striking too close to home.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
And now the portals that let the
magical races return to Earth have started opening on their own.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
With trips off-world, a kidnapped
psychic and changes to their own abilities, Thulu and La Fi are hit
with a lot more than they usually handle. Of course, their magical
friends are there to help, but even they may not be enough to save an
increasingly unstable Earth.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>Portals</i> is the sequel to <i>Relics</i>
and is Book 2 in <i>The Thulukan Chronicles</i>.</div>

From the Cover:<br />
Most of Thulu and La Fi's clients are dead. Which is perfect since their
detective agency caters to the supernatural. So, a job finding relics
for an ancient daemon should be simple.<br />
<br />
The daemon needs the
relics to keep a dangerous portal closed. His enemy, Gabriel, wants the
relics to open the portal and give his people access to a new feeding
ground - Earth.<br />
<br />
Stunning humanity with their existence, portals to other worlds begin to open and the creatures of magic return to Earth.<br />
<br />
When
Gabriel threatens their family, Thulu and La Fi's search becomes
personal. The couple will need powerful allies in the race to find the
relics before Gabriel does. But maybe that's what grateful dead, magical
allies and daemonic clients are for.<br />
<br />
<b><i>When the creatures of myth and magic return to Earth, they're nothing like your mother's fairy tales.</i></b><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Thank you for having me here, Dottie!</span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Why don't you start by telling my
readers a little bit about yourself?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I write, play MMOs (Star Wars and Guild
Wars 2). I also teach college when I’m doing my impression of being
an adult. I have two dogs and try to hike when I can, but that’s
not nearly as often as I’d like.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What drew you to the craft of writing? </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Creating things has been something I’ve
done all my life. From acting professionally to all sorts of crafting
to teaching, I’ve always got some creative outlet going. Writing
has been part of the acting process for me in creating my characters’
backstories. But the official novel was just something I decided to
try when the characters sprang to life for me.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Do you write for the story burning to
be told or do you write for a character that won't leave you alone?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Although my characters are my
inspiration, I’d have to say that I’m split with both characters
and their stories. It might begin with the characters, but I don’t
start writing until I have a vague idea where I’m going with them.</span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Are you a pantser or plotter?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Panster. Totally. I know where my story
is going to end up (usually), but I have no idea how I’m going to
get there. I let the characters surprise me and I enjoy the journey.</span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When do you like to write? Mornings,
Afternoons, Middle of the Night, or somewhere in between (like when
the kids sleep)?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Well, my only kids are the dogs and
they are good about not interrupting when I’m at the computer. <span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span>
I write whenever the mood strikes me. If I’m on a self-imposed
deadline, then I usually write off and on all day.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Do you have some favorite music that
inspires your writing? A movie? What inspires you?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I listen to a lot of film and gaming
soundtracks when I write. Depending on what I’m working on
determines which ones. My playlist is pretty long…as in days long.
And it’s very eclectic, with lots of epic music, but also
atmospheric pieces as well. However, it’s 99% instrumental. I find
words to be distracting so I don’t listen to songs with words I can
understand.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
When you're not writing, do you have a
favorite author or genre you enjoy?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I read what I write more often than not
– fantasy and sc fi. But I also love mysteries, thrillers,
historical. I have eclectic tastes. I adore George R.R. Martin’s <i>A
Song of Ice and Fire</i> and the Harry Potter series.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What advice would you give to others in
the journey to becoming published?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">If it’s what you really want then
stay with it. It can be a frustrating industry at times and if you
truly love it, you will weather the storms. Don’t rush the process.
Be through with your manuscript and make it the best you can before
you put it out there.</span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Did you have a long line of submissions
before you “got the call”? For those readers would wonder, how
long did the submission process take for you?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I did the submission process twice. I
had to stop the query process and rewrite <i>Relics</i> as a
stand-alone, so the second half of the book got tossed. From the very
beginning to contract, it was two years total. But from rewrite to
contract, it was about six, seven months. Most of that was going the
traditional route trying to get an agent. From the time I subbed
directly to publishers it was about one month before I signed a
contract.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Is there any other
advice/recommendations you'd like to share?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Find a good solid group of experienced
writers who are willing to share their expertise. Having that support
system makes a big difference. I couldn’t have done what I have
without my author friends. Their advice has been invaluable. And get
good beta readers who will be honest.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If your book was going to be made into
a movie, who would play your heroine? Hero? Bad guy?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Jennifer Lawrence for La Fi and Chris
Hemsworth for Thulu. The bad guy actually has little screen time and
a lot of CGI, so I’m going to go with our other bad boy, the daemon
Tyler Jones. Shemar Moore would be perfect for him.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">That night Parker had popped in to wake
us at two in the morning to tell us our best friend, Reo, had been
shot. The young ghost was distraught and panicked.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">“They're on the back porch! You have
to go help.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">“Where is he?” I asked groggily, as
I jumped out of bed.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Thulu was instantly awake beside me,
although he didn’t seem any more alert than I did.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">“Back porch.” Parker enunciated
each word in slight exasperation. “Go, please!”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Thulu looked at me, and I told him what
Parker had said. Thulu can read lips, but even with a night light the
room was too dark. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Thulu threw off the sheet and we both
ran from the room. I was briefly glad we’d been wearing PJs.</span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Heart pounding, I took a few precious
seconds to check on our three year old son, Carter. His night light
showed him blissfully unaware of anything. Whatever happy dreams he
was having made him smile slightly in his sleep. I sighed in relief
that he wasn’t having another of his nightmares.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Downstairs, Thulu had turned on the
kitchen and porch lights. In spite of the panic moments before, none
of the three people on the porch seemed frantic when I joined them. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"> Thulu looked relieved, Reo was on the
floor, but seemed stoic, and Sloane knelt beside him, brow furrowed
only slightly in concentration as he dealt with the wound. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">My heart rate slowed down and my own
fear started to slowly dissipate. My heart gradually dropped from my
throat back to its accustomed place in my chest. Still my hands were
shaking, and I felt the slight chill from outside. The porch was
screened in, and the late August day had been hot, but the night
brought a cool breeze that made its way along my arms. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">The scent of flowers from the backyard
didn’t quite mask the smell of the blood that pooled on the porch
floor around Reo. Sloane, his partner and an elf, had already removed
Reo’s jacket and shirt. A bullet lay on the floor, and I could see
the shoulder wound was already healing and closing up. In a few
moments, only the blood would remain as evidence that he’d been
shot. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Reo's face was white. The strain showed
around his brown eyes and his handsome face had the sheen of sweat on
it. His short brown hair that was usually spiked, lay damp and flat
against his head, but he gave me a shaky smile.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">“Bastard ruined my favorite jacket.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

What are your future plans for your
series? Are you cooking up a new one?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I’m currently working on Book 3 and
no idea if this will tie up the series. I suspect not, though. I am
going to be working on a new series in 2014. A sci fi series.</span></div>

Some fun stuff:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Coffee, Tea, or Something Harder? </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Something harder.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you were a rock star, what
instrument would you play? </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Keyboards</span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you were stranded on a desert
island... would you hope that Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, or Gerard
Butler was stranded with you (if hubby/boyfriend decided to stay home
while you cruised, for me, not likely, lol, but I'd have a hard time
choosing...)? </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Hugh Jackman – stage and film actor,
sings, dances, acts. No contest.</span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Cake or Ice Cream (or both, what
flavor)? </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Ice cream! Caramel.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Favorite all-time read? Movie? Favorite
banned book? (Mine's To Kill A Mockingbird)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I have to go with a series, George R.R.
Martin’s <i>A Song of Ice and Fire.</i> Movie - I don’t have a
favorite out of the series. There are too many choices. Banned - I
actually had to look this up because I had no idea what was or wasn’t
banned. I guess the most recent one would be <i>The Hunger Games.</i>
I found it interesting that was even on the list.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Favorite paranormal creature? (vamp's,
always vamps, lol) </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">This would be so much easier if it were
magical. Lol. Paranormal…hmmm…maybe shape-shifter. The obvious
answer is vampire…but not if it’s the old kind. I much prefer the
newer versions. So yeah, shape-shifter for me.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
If you were going to pick a book/movie
character to become...who would it be?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">I’m actually quite happy being me, so
this is always a tough question for me. If it was temporary, I’d
choose Ramoth, the gold dragon from the Dragonriders of Pern series.
You know that meme? “Always be yourself, unless you can be a
dragon. Then always be a dragon.” Yeah, I could handle dragon for a
bit.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Secret desires?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">LOL, then they wouldn’t be secret.
Okay, okay. Here’s an open secret. I’d like my books to do well.

From the Cover:<br />
<br />
Is it possible to reduce the amount of workplace violence in an
organization run by vampires and werewolves? Sofia Engle, the new
Employee Relations Manager at Cader House Hospital is about to find out,
and she may not like the answer, or the series of firsts she
experiences: first human employee at Cader House, first day tardy, first
kiss with a dead guy. Well, maybe kissing the dead guy wasn't the worst
of it after all.
<br />
<br />For nearly 600 years Dragomir Petrescu has fought for The Alliance.
As one of the most skilled warriors the Alliance has ever seen he's
killed a lot of people and won many difficult battles. But his newest
human adversary is turning out to be a worthier opponent than any he's
met. Just the scent of her disarms him, never mind her endless policies
and silly ideals about civility.
<br />
<br />Can he possibly keep her safe from Alliance enemies, hospital
employees and himself? The term Employee Relations is about to have a
whole new meaning.<br />

Rent-boy is an honest and frank portrayal of a working-class male
prostitute’s life.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Many factors contribute in delivering
the main character onto the streets. Some very typical such as early
abandonment, poverty, lack of education and sexual abuse. But Paul
does not dwell too much on the past and refuses to allow these events
to mar his ambition.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
At eighteen a lost train ticket leaves
him stranded in the city after a job interview. He uses his
questionable wits to make a quick decision that steers him down a
rather dodgy path.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Without added glamour or grit, Paul
shares the raw accounts of his life as a rent-boy in the 90s, from
London to Los Angeles. It may not have been pretty, and there was
risk and danger as well as fun and thrills, but Paul had the audacity
to succeed in his quest to obtain happiness, security and wealth.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This is not an erotic tale. It is an
ordinary account of day-to-day life as viewed from a unique
perspective. A peek into what really goes on behind the glassy-eyed
smile of a male street worker. Read about his life in this optimistic
and fascinating roadbook adventure.

Recently, MJ and I shared a little bit about how and why she writes. She's a blast! (and she doesn't live too far away from me either, sweet!) Here's a little bit of what we talked about....<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Why don't you start by telling my
readers a little bit about yourself?</b></span><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Well, I’m wildly beautiful, with
long, luscious blond hair which tumbles down my back. In my
mid-twenties, I’m a svelte 115 pounds, 5’8. I’m built like the
Tahj Mahal, baby, with amazing eyes, as you know, Dottie. I turned
down a career as a rock star, though people still call and beg me to
perform sometimes. I took up writing and now have a dozen books on
the bestsellers list.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Ahh. The beauty of the Internet!
Actually I’m 5’2, the last time I saw 115 was at the grocery
store when I went in for “that one thing I needed.” My hair is
chopped pretty short right now because it was super damaged from
using the straightener. I’m not a rock star, but I do karaoke
(that’s kind of like, “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on
TV.”) I haven’t made the bestseller’s list for more than an
hour (that was a great hour, though), and when I’m not writing, I’m
a lunch lady (this is the truly glamorous part of my life, the kids
love me! Then again, maybe that’s because I am literally the hand
that feeds them.)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>What drew you to the craft of
writing? </b></span>
</div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As you can see from the above, I love
to tell stories. ;)</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Do you write for the story burning
to be told or do you write for a character that won't leave you
alone?</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
For me the two are inextricably
intertwined. I write the character’s story that won’t leave me
alone. My first book, which is a sci-fi romance, was a recurring
dream that wouldn’t go away, so I guess that one was plot driven.
My second book, though, TRAPPED UNDER ICE, is about a rock star who
is haunted by his past. Chad Evans grew up in an abusive home and
isn’t able to move past that until he meets Beth. She redeems him,
she saves him, and I simply had to write this character’s story.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Are you a pantser or plotter?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Pantser, pantser, pantser! I feel like
the industry pushes you to be a plotter, though, to fit into its box.
I think I need to be a little more of a plotter, but I don’t know
if I can ever choreograph my emotional sections (called beats by
some) into a pre-designated pattern. I think whenever you put
something into a formula, you lose its creative element, and this is,
after all, a creative endeavor.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>When do you like to write? Mornings,
Afternoons, Middle of the Night, or somewhere in between (like when
the kids sleep)? </b></span>
</div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
All the time, any time. With four kids
I’ve had to squeeze my writing in the nooks and crannies of my day.
So I take my laptop with me to doctor’s appointments and oil
changes, as well as haunting Starbuck’s and fast food joints. My
challenge then is to make sure the writing doesn’t become choppy
and sound like it was written in five and ten minute segments. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Do you have some favorite music that
inspires your writing? A movie? What inspires you?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Everything inspires me! I have a book
(TAKEN BY STORM) that was loosely inspired by the movie “Troy,”
kind of muddled together with pieces of “The Prince of Egypt” and
“Prince of Persia.” TRAPPED UNDER ICE is largely inspired by
Nickelback music and I have another one outlined that was birthed
from listening to Breaking Benjamin.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>When you're not writing, do you have
a favorite author or genre you enjoy?</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I love RT Wolfe, who just so happens to
be my friend. I hunger for anything she writes! I also love Nora
Roberts, but had to quit reading her because I was picking up some
bad habits. Nora is a head-hopper, which works for her, but not so
much for others.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>What advice would you give to others
in the journey to becoming published?</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In the words of Winston Churchill,
“Never, never, never give up!” Then again, you should want it bad
enough that giving up is not really an option.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I’d say, don’t worry about the
haters in the world. Write for you. Don’t change who you are to fit
someone else’s expectations, because you were given an unique voice
for a reason. And I’ll finish this question with another quote,
this time from D.M. Delinger. “You are unrepeatable. There is a
magic about you that is all your own…”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Did you have a long line of
submissions before you “got the call”? For those readers would
wonder, how long did the submission process take for you?</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Yes! A very long line. And I got a
couple of calls that ultimately resulted in no book being published.
I had a contract rescinded (on Thanksgiving Day!) because the press
went out of business. That was quite disappointing! I’d say it took
me about a year from when I started submitting to having a book out
there.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>If your book was going to be made
into a movie, who would play your heroine? Hero? Bad guy?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
My current book, UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR,
has a hunky paramedic that I believe would be captured well by
William Levy. The heroine would be the red-headed Scarlett Johansson
from “The Avengers.” Bad guys I’m not as good at, but I’m
thinking a kind of Joe Pesciesque type.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>What are your future plans for your
series? Are you cooking up a new one?</b></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I have three collections out right now,
my ROCKING ROMANCE COLLECTION, ROMANTIC REALMS COLLECTION, and now my
REAL ROMANCE COLLECTION. UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR is the first in that
collection. I have another rock romance coming out in December, and
the book out after that will be the second in the REAL ROMANCE
COLLECTION, probably coming in February or March.</div>

Dylan Fisher is an EMT and part-time
Santa Claus at a mall in Denver, Colorado. He has logged plenty of
time with children sitting on his lap, asking for anything from the
latest electronic gadget to a week’s worth of homework passes.
Still, he never heard anyone ask for what little Delaney Kelly asked
for on one snowy night in December. A dad! When Dylan’s eyes search
the crowd for Delaney’s mother and land on Keira Kelly, the EMT
almost finds himself in need of a little CPR. She is stunning!
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Keira Kelly is still grieving over the
loss of her husband, but a reckless driver has her thinking about
nothing but survival as she’s headed home from the mall. When Keira
wakes in the hospital to find a hunky EMT at her bedside, she begins
having a few thoughts that would put her on Santa’s Naughty List
for sure! But when she finds out the EMT is only hanging around
because the police believe someone is out to get her, she’s not
sure what to think about his kindness. Is he helping her because he
wants to, or because he feels he needs to? And what about the man who
rammed her car, could he have had something to do with her husband’s
death?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Here’s an excerpt:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Keira’s heart
began to beat faster. She was no longer singing, but Delaney didn’t
seem to even notice, carrying on without her. She heard her singing
about Frosty “hippity-hop-hopping through the snow.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Keira was pretty
sure that was wrong, (didn’t Peter Rabbit “hippity-hop?”), but
didn’t bother to correct Delaney. Her hands clutched the steering
wheel as she hunted for a street ahead they could turn down. Spotting
one, she waited until the last minute to signal and then made a
right-hand turn. To her horror, tires screeched and beams from the
black sedan’s headlights swung crazily as the car swerved around
the corner, too, fish-tailing in the snow, but following all the
same. A motor raced as it zoomed up on them, getting so close she
lost sight of its headlights as they dipped below the SUV’s back
bumper.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Her heart thudded
in her chest. <i>I can’t panic. Kevin told me if someone ever
followed me I should head straight to a police station. But where’s
a police station</i>? She searched her mind, street names and places
flashing before her eyes and then the impact of the sedan’s bumper
jolted the SUV.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Mommy!”
Delaney screamed.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“It’s okay,
sugar.” Even though she wanted to sound reassuring, her voice was
tight. The car rammed them again.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Mommy!”</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Keira’s eyes flew
back and forth from the rearview mirror to the road, trying to remain
in control of the vehicle and anticipate her attacker’s next move
at the same time. The street she chose was dark. A park hemmed
either side of the two-lane road and a long row of drivers in the
opposite lane waited their opportunity to turn onto First Avenue.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
“Aaahh!” She
involuntarily yelped as the sedan hit them with greater impact,
making her SUV skid across the pavement. She quickly corrected and
then tried to speed up to avoid another collision. She checked the
side-view mirror. Headlights zoomed up again and she braced herself.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Too
late, she saw the car in front of her making a leisurely left-hand
turn onto the thoroughfare from a side street. She screamed and
slammed on the brakes. The SUV began to skid sideways, her rear
bumper making contact with one of the cars waiting in line next to
them, sending her vehicle spinning in the opposite direction.
Delaney’s cries rang in her ears. Images blurred through the
windshield, a tree, a lamp post, and then, the car gunning for them.
With a tremendous crash of metal it drove the SUV into a park bench
and a concrete, cylinder-shaped garbage receptacle decorated with
neutral-colored pebbles. The airbags failed to employ. Her head hit
the steering wheel with the initial impact, and then the side window
when the SUV crumpled against the pebbled trash can.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A car horn
blared…her car horn, she realized. She struggled to lift her head.
About ten feet in front of them, the black sedan swam in and out of
her vision. Its front bumper trailed on the ground on one side, half
of the hood accordioned upward, steam rolling out of it menacingly in
the cold night air. She imagined the black vehicle to be some sort of
fire-breathing dragon. <i>Why does it want me dead?</i> she asked
herself groggily.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">
It
came to life in front of her eyes, backing up over the curb a few
feet, pieces clunking and scraping against the concrete. The wheels
turned and with a screech of spinning tires it scrambled toward her.
For a minute, she thought it sought to finish them off. Instead, the
sedan roared off into the night with sparks flying from its
underbelly.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Pardoned for the
moment, she became aware of the pain driving through her brain. She
clutched at her stomach. She tasted blood. Head heavy, she laid it
down on the steering wheel, closing her eyes. She heard the horn
again…shouting… somewhere, Christmas music.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i>Delaney</i>! a
voice screamed in her head. Keira wanted to turn to search the
backseat, but it felt like her head was no longer connected to the
rest of her body. She heard a strange noise, a loud, screeching,
whirring noise…the dragon returning. She whimpered and went still.</div>
