Carmen Stefanescu has passed on from this world to the next. We have lost an amazing woman. Someone I admired very much and who has been my friend for years.<br />
<br />
We met years ago when I read her book Shadows of the Past and reviewed it for my blog. She was a most special lady and she created increadable worlds. She lived through a harsh time on Romanian history where harsh and awful things could happen to you for writing such things but she never let it stop her from her dreams.<br />
<br />
I will miss her emails but I know that where she is she safe and loved. My heart goes out to her loving family and grandchildren. Silvia Angela Bugariu take strength that she loved you and know that she will be watching over you.<br />

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Lorenzo de Medici is dead, and his son Piero has brought war and famine upon the city of Florence. Yet, the glory that is Renaissance artistry grows more magnificent, as does the work of the women known as Da Vinci's Disciples. Now they face their most dangerous challenge, one shrouded in the cloak of a monk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">From the ashes of war, Friar Girolamo Savonarola rises. Some call him a savior and a prophet, a man willing to overthrow tyrannical rulers and corrupt clergy, the Borgia Pope among them. Fra Girolamo is determined to remold Florence from an avaricious, secular culture to a paragon of Christian virtues.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Donna Russo Morin’s passion for the written word began when she was a child, took on a feminist edge as she grew through the sixties, and blossomed into a distinctive style of action-filled historical fiction at a defining moment in her life. As a second-generation American of full Italian descent, Donna combined her historical research with her genealogical studies, finding that her birth name (Russo) and her family roots are traceable to ninth century Florence…the very city in which the Da Vinci’s Disciples trilogy is set.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Donna Russo (Morin) is the internationally published author of six multi-award-winning historical novels including PORTRAIT OF A CONSPIRACY: Da Vinci’s Disciples Book One (a finalist in Foreword Reviews BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR), and THE COMPETITION: Da Vinci’s Disciples Book Two (EDITOR’S CHOICE, Historical Novel Society Review). The final book in her Da Vinci’s Disciples trilogy, THE FLAMES OF FLORENCE, releases May 8, 2018. Also this summer, my novel, inspired by our own home state, GILDED SUMMERS: A Novel of Newport’s Gilded Age will also release this summer. Her other titles include The King’s Agent, recipient of a starred review in Publishers Weekly, The Courtier’s Secret, The Secret of the Glass, and To Serve a King.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">And why don’t I believe her? Why do I feel like I’ll see a picture of her dead body on the front-page news someday?</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">My eyes open at the rustle of material. She’s lifting my blazer from her lap, holding it out to me, and I catch sight of the angel wings on the inside of her wrist as the jacket sleeve slides up a little.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I almost shut my eyes again as a memory—a recognition of some sort—tries to resurface. It’s like a thin veil has dropped over my mind, taunting me with only fragments, a puzzle to figure out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">“We’re here, Mr. King,” my driver says after opening the glass partition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">I had instructed him to park around the block from the location Gia gave me. Hopefully she won’t be noticed. And as far as we could tell, we didn’t have a tail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">But before she leaves, there’s something I still need to know. “How’d you get involved with the mob in the first place?” I finally take my jacket from her, and she reaches for the handle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">“My father,” she says before getting out and closing the door.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Brittney Sahin began writing at an early age, with the dream to be a published author before the age of 18. Although academic pursuits (and, later, a teaching career) interrupted her aspirations, she never stopped writing--never stopped imagining.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">It wasn't until her students encouraged her to follow her dreams that Brittney said goodbye to Upstate New York in order to start a new adventure in the place she was raised: Charlotte, North Carolina. Here, she decided to take her students' advice and begin to write again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">In 2015, she published her first novel, Silenced Memories (The Safe Bet). When she is not working on upcoming novels, she spends time with her family. She is a proud mother of two boys, and a lover of suspense novels, coffee, and the outdoors.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Realm of Spirits: They are being hunted Chapter 3 Blossom of the North Star How the story compares to the comic script</u> </span></h2>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Realm of Spirits: They are being hunted was published in 2014 and I reviewed it in 2015.<span style="line-height: 106%;"> </span>I was in love with the story from the start and knew it would go far. The characters jumped from the page and dazzled you in a way that many stories failed to do and I couldn't help but think that if put into comic book form where you could actually see the characters come to life this story would be literally Unstoppable!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On January 20. 2015 I wrote a review about this novel saying. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">This was a incredible read! Sylvester Edmonds is a wonderful author! I was fascinated when reading the synapses of this one and decided I need it give it a go. I don't read religious books as a rule but am a big fan of books having to do with angels and Nephilim so this one intrigued me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">This one is a short but very intriguing story that keeps you entertained from front to back and is defiantly action packed with baby's popping out everywhere..lol I couldn't put the book down for a second and thought that Edmonds take on the whole thing was brilliant. My favorite baby being born was the phoenix, as it has always been one of my favorite mythological creatures. Another thing I liked about this were the beautiful colored pages at the front and back! I found it really added to the book and I think as the book is so short turning the whole thing into a graphic novel would make it really cool and add to the story. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;"> I defiantly recommend this book to others who would like to give it a try as I did.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been patiently following the progress of Waking Eyes Comics since they started working on the comic and every time I get more and more impressed as the characters I remember come to life in drawings and then at the appearance of Realm of Spirits at Awesome Con 2018. I am so amazingly proud of Sylvester and all he has achieved with this story.The new comic is going to rock peoples socks off! its so much more then a story its a journey, one that inspires the mind and feeds the soul.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Come, we should leave at once," she said and glanced nervously over her shoulder. "Something terrible happened after you left for town. I think the Abbess found out about us. Our meeting in Uncle Ryan's cabin is no longer a secret. We have been overheard. For all I know someone spies on us even as we speak. I think the Abbess, or one of her 'friends,' is hovering somewhere nearby and listening to every word."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Andrew pulled Genevieve to his chest. "Do you regret you've come with me?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Passion smothered Genevieve's doubt and guilt. "Never," she answered, aware of her body's response to his touch, and she succumbed to his embrace.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Calming the gnawing unease in her mind and the thought of Sister Dominica guessing she was the dough of a sinner, Genevieve repeated, "Never."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With her eyes closed and their bodies touching she became, for the very first time, simply a woman. She melted in his embrace in spite of the invisible vicious threat breathing around them. Aware they might never be alone again, she fought hard to silence the voice of conscience berating her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Oh, God. Please forgive me," Andrew muttered under his breath when he bowed his head to kiss her. Their lips met in a passionate first kiss.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Genevieve's spirits fell and her heart skipped a beat when, a couple of seconds later, she opened her eyes and her gaze fell on a knot strangers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">… . . .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tears welled in Anne's eyes, blurring her vision. She couldn’t explain them, or the sudden sadness seeping into her heart. This should’ve been a moment of happiness or, at least, contentment. She was with Neil again, and the outcome of their trip together should, very likely, bring their reconciliation. Why then did she seem detached from where she stood?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anne shivered. Why the deep feeling of having seen this place, this forest before? And why the eerie sensation of being present here only in the body, while her mind was far away?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Away from the forest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Away from Neil, the man who'd betrayed her trust and her love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">An onrush of sensations unfamiliar to her followed. Dizziness and a malevolent feeling of unreality suffocated her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anne edged cautiously closer to the rim of the bare cliff. Her foot tapped the edge. It seemed solid. She stared into the darkness of the abyss at her feet. It echoed the shadows in her heart. An unusual curiosity took hold of her. Should she step ahead? What was down there? Other human bones? Another mystery? The presence of evil, creeping up and enveloping her, became almost palpable. The vines of fog folded around her, dragging her to the depth. Her throat turned dry, and she gasped for air.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Megan's face contorted, the voice no longer pleasant. A hoarse gurgle, spluttering distorted words, "Yes, come... I'm waiting... I've been waiting for you for such a long time..."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<h2>
<span style="color: red; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u>Author Bio</u></span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Carmen Stefanescu was born in Romania, the native country of the infamous vampire Count Dracula, but where, for about 50 years of communist dictatorship, just speaking about God, faith, reincarnation or paranormal phenomena could have led someone to great trouble - the psychiatric hospital if not to prison. Teacher of English and German in her native country and mother of two daughters, Carmen Stefanescu survived the grim years of oppression, by escaping in a parallel world, that of the books.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She has dreamed all her life to become a writer, but many of the things she wrote during those years remained just drawer projects. The fall of the Ceausescu’s regime in 1989 and the opening of the country to the world meant a new beginning for her. She started publishing. Poems first, and then prose. Both in English.</span><br />

She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose—and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.</span></div>

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A powerful warrior and commander of the dark elf legions, Bleu is a loyal and devoted male, and one who has never failed in anything—except one thing. Love. When an elusive female dragon shifter surfaces in Hell again, giving him a mission to hurl himself into, he gladly returns to his hunt for her and the deadly blade she stole from his prince seven centuries ago, but as he closes in on his prey, fate reveals she is far more than his enemy?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having escaped from the black market arena and her life as a slave, Taryn sets her sights back on the task she began seven hundred years ago when her brother stole a precious sword, but in the three centuries she’s been a captive, everything has changed. Corrupted by a craving for power, her brother has become dangerously obsessed with finding the blade and using it to claim the ultimate treasure—the position of King of Hell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Faced with having to end her beloved twin to stop him from bringing all of Hell to its knees before him, will Taryn be strong enough to use the very blade he seeks against him? And when Bleu finally catches his elusive prey, will he listen to his head as it demands he complete his mission or his heart as it demands he claim his eternal mate?</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1610139384">5 of 5 stars</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This book was given to me by the Author In Exchange For an Honest Review.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This book was amazing! just like all the books in this series Felicity brings this one in with a bang! I was so looking forward to Bleu's story as he has been such a constant throughout all the books. I really loved the character of Taryn she really intrigued me in the previous story and I liked getting to see all of her different facets in this one. The coming together of the two of them was played brilliantly and in true Felicity fashion! The twists and chaos in this one was brilliant! and has become one of my true favs!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I loved seeing the characters of Vail and Fury in this again as well, their characters are favs of mine and Vails story was a true fav of mine. When Taryn's crazy brother came into the scene I really didn't see how things would turn out, cause crazy is tough to beat!...lol....Felicity did it with her spicy and true Bleu ( pun intended ) panache! at times I couldn't believe what could Taryn could possibly be thinking! but her love for her twin brother clouded her judgment A LOT and she couldn't see him for the raging psycho he was!!!!! lol</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seeing Taryn and Bleu come together was the best part! Bleu really denied it as long as possible but in the end couldn't hold back. It was amazing to see him embrace what all of his friends have already found, so that it will not hurt so much when he see them again. Felicity is such a brilliant author and I couldn't put the book down! her magic of the written word, spellbinds and captivates until your powerless but to read every last word!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make sure you get your copy and don't miss out on this incredible addition to the series! you will not regret it!!!!</span><br />

<div align="center" style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><u>Excerpt</u></span></div>
<center>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 4px solid #999999; color: black; font-size: 12px; height: 360px; line-height: 24px; margin-left: 20px; overflow: auto; padding: 20px; text-align: left; width: 400px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taryn lowered her gaze to the wrapped sword beside her and rested her hand on the blanket that covered it again, feeling its power resonate through her palm. The sword was all her brother thought about. It was all he desired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She was risking her life by bringing it here, and by returning to Tenak. If he didn’t kill her on the spot when she revealed herself to him, he might only be luring her into a trap to kill later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And what if she failed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What if he took the sword and she couldn’t stop him?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She would have delivered the whole of Hell into his hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Gods, she was a fool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She knew she should take the sword and turn back before he could sense her, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had sworn to stop her brother seven centuries ago, when she had discovered his plan to steal the sword from the elf kingdom because he viewed the sword as belonging to him, not the elves. It was forged of the blood of their grandfather, one of the strongest dragons to have lived, in ancient times when an elven king had ruled in the mortal realm and her ancestors had been free to fly there. That elven king had captured her grandfather and bled him, pouring his life force into the metal of the blade, and mixing it with a single drop of his own blood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The blade was power.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The strongest of the elven metals and the strongest blood forged into a single weapon that gave the wielder control over ancient magic contained in the blade. It could cut through any armour or weapon, but its true power was the ability to condense the magic it contained into an arc of pure light that could cut through an enemy horde with one swing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taryn had tried to stop him from stealing the sword, but she had failed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He had taken the blade but she hadn’t given up, and in the end she had managed to steal the blade from him before he could use it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now, it was her bait. It was her way of regaining her brother’s trust and stopping him from killing her as payment for her betrayal. She was determined to end everything and she had little time to carry out her plan. She had delayed too long, afraid of facing her brother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Afraid of facing a world without him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was her responsibility though, her duty, and she had to be the one to carry it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Because a life in slavery had more appeal, had been better, than a life lived in fear of her brother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If she didn’t go to him, he would eventually come to her, would leave a path of destruction in his wake as he scoured the realms for her. She had heard the stories. Every few years he ventured out from his valley, razing lands and slaughtering thousands as he hunted for her and the sword.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had that blood on her hands, but she wouldn’t bear any more. She would end it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She would use her life in slavery, the one she was trying to leave behind, the memories she wanted to purge, to win Tenak’s trust, pretending that the three centuries of torture she had endured had driven her mad with a need for vengeance, filling her with a thirst to rain dark terror down on all the realms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taryn shuddered and curled up, pulling her knees to her chest. She rocked slowly, her eyes locked on the wall across from her, not seeing it as she battled the memories that surged to the surface. She focused on Loke, picturing his face, his bright aquamarine eyes that had shown a wealth of concern when he had handed over the sword and told her of the vision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Told her of the terrible things her brother had done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tenak had grown mad with a hunger for violence, bloodshed and death.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was that madness that had gripped him that she was going to use to her advantage, making him believe they were infected with the same terrible disease of the mind and they were kindred spirits once more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her plan was flawless, but she still couldn’t stop the doubts from creeping in and taking hold of her. She had tried to shake them, but in the end she had realised that nothing she did would silence them, and she had set off on her journey with them echoing in her mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Maybe she should have left the sword with Loke.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her brother was stronger than she was, both in dragon and mortal form. He had killed anyone who had strayed into his kingdom. What made her think that she wouldn’t suffer the same fate?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She was his blood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His twin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His other half.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She knew she could make him recognise her, because she had done so in the past. He’d had spells of madness before, back in the days before he had grown obsessed with setting himself up as the ruler of Hell and stealing the sword from the elves to make that happen. She had brought him back to her then, and she could do it again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had to be strong and believe in what he had once told her—that he would never hurt her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He never had.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even in his darkest rages, he had never raised a claw against her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If anyone could get close enough to him to end him, it was her. She had to try. If she failed, she wouldn’t be alive to see the horror he would unleash on Hell anyway. He would surely kill her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taryn shoved away from that grim thought and refocused on the wall, breathing steadily to centre her mind and steady her heart, and her nerves. She steered her mind towards calmer waters, to thoughts that would soothe her so she could sleep well and gain the rest she needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her head and heart filled with images from better days long past, of her brother and Loke. It had felt good to see Loke again after their centuries apart. He was the only person in Hell she was close to now, the only one she trusted. He meant the world to her, was the brother that Tenak had once been, a very long time ago. Loke had taken care of her for thousands of years, over half of her life, after Tenak had grown distant and obsessed with power.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was still difficult to think of the things her brother had done in her absence and believe they were true. The male she had grown up with had been gentle, tender and affectionate. How had he grown into one who would lead a legion of dragons to their deaths, promising them power and wealth, and then using them as shields on the battlefield, sending them out first so he could weaken the enemy before claiming victory himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her dearest brother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She loved him, but since escaping the slavers and learning of the things he had done, she was beginning to wonder whether she only felt that emotion because it was what she should feel for him as her twin. Was she blinded by their bond?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had truly loved him once, with all of her heart, but she couldn’t condone his plans or the things he had done in their centuries apart, slaughtering masses of demons and fae, and even his own beloved kin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taryn closed her eyes and settled her chin on her knees, hugging her legs closer to her chest. Her heart felt heavy behind her breast, weighted with the sins of her brother and her responsibility as his sister, and the black future that awaited her if she succeeded in her mission.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A world without him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A life alone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tears burned hot behind her eyes but she refused them, drawing a deep breath to hold them at bay and blowing it out as she sought calm. She pushed away from her sombre thoughts, not wanting to think about it any more tonight. She just wanted to close her eyes, leave her worries behind for a few short hours, and hopefully, she would feel stronger come the morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The comforting arms of sleep drifted around her and he was there waiting for her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sinful. Wicked. Beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The elf.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His sinful smile was in place, those violet eyes shimmering with wicked allure as he gazed at her, casting black magic on her that had her falling ever deeper under his spell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taryn shoved away from sleep, forcing herself awake again, afraid of dreaming of the male she knew pursued her. Hunted her. He was always one step behind her in this waking world, but forever one step ahead in the dream one, waiting for her to succumb to the lure of sleep and fall back into his arms. Those strong arms would wrap around her, filling her mind with ridiculous hopes as he drew her against him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each dream only strengthened her dragon instincts, making her ache with a need to possess him, to sink her claws into the beautiful male and make him belong to her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her finest treasure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taryn fought the lure of sleep, the lure of the elf male, but he was too powerful, casting an enchantment over her and drawing her back to him. She was too tired to push him away this time and fell easily into the dream, right into his arms, craving the comfort of him even when she feared he would be the one to kill her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just as Loke had seen in his vision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The dark elf male feathered his fingers across her cheek, the touch so light she shivered from it, and slipped them beneath her chin. He tilted her head up, his violet gaze turning hooded as it dropped to her mouth, filled with delicious intent. She didn’t resist him, didn’t have the strength to deny him this time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She welcomed the kiss, the tantalising brush of his firm lips across hers that stirred the heat in her veins into an inferno and made her burn for him in her dream, and ache for him in reality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hungry for a taste of him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her dark warrior.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I lie in bed and blink my eyes open. I suffer too many sleepless nights and not enough material to tire my mind. At night, when I lie in bed, my mind tends to wander. After the usual subjects of school, work, friends, and family have been exhausted, it hungers for something more substantial. I’ve tried reading before bed, tried drinking, tried drugs, nothing helps. The doctors tell me it’s the other way around. I’m thinking too much and that’s what’s keeping my brain awake.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I blink again, trying to determine which plane of consciousness I currently inhabit, when something on the ceiling of my cubby catches my attention. It looks to be a butterfly. It’s an odd-looking thing with folded paper wings. It grows bigger, the fluttering stops and I watch in amazement as the wings unfold. Of all things, there is a message inside. “The sleeper is awake,” I read aloud. Curious thing. I ask myself, What does it mean? And, just like that, the butterfly folds back up, disappearing as mysteriously as it appeared. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A cold spreads over me, coursing through my veins, leaving a tingling in my toes and fingertips, numbing my senses. My heartbeat accelerates, a vain attempt to keep my blood from freezing, causing me to sweat a cold sweat. I’m having a ripple. I call them ripples simply because I can’t think of a better way to explain the fluctuation I experience when I transition between planes of existence. The ripple washes over me, carries me from the threshold of the present to the plateau of a vision.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I’m lying on my back in a field of freshly mown grass. I’m looking up at a star-filled sky. Jonyo is lying next to me. Jonyo passes me a joint. Here we are, just the two us blowing smoke rings and getting high. Silver streamers rise up to the sky through our rings as they go by. The moon is full and the Man in the Moon is smiling back at me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Man in the Moon speaks. “Thank you,” he says to me. He jangles his new jewelry, a hoop earring, for me to see.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You’re welcome,” I reply, though I know not why.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I do. It’s low and far away. Off in the distance a band is playing. I stand to see where the music is coming from and find the man in the purple cape standing in front of me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He replies, “It is time for the sleeper to awake.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Why can’t I see your face?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“In due time,” says the man before fading away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before he goes, I ask, “Who is the sleeper?” The question falls off into thin air, for the man in the purple cape is no longer there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The field changes and I find myself on a stage. Jonyo is pointing to the audience. “They want you to play.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Night has turned to day. I look out over a sea of faces. The crowd is chanting, I strain to hear, but I hear only silence. “Why can’t I hear them?” Then I remember where I saw this before...in a vision. “Wait.” I’m looking about. Images of crisp and vibrant colors, darkly outlined, like a cartoon. “Am I not in a vision right now?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You are.” The man in the purple cape is back. “You will hear them clearly,” he adds, as his cape ruffles in the wind. “In time.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Who is the sleeper?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He’s fading away again until only his smile remains. “You are.” And, POOF the smile is gone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My attention is drawn to a young girl in the crowd holding a pink flower. The flower hides her face. She holds the flower out to me. “Will you take my flower?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I desperately want to see behind the flower. Exasperated I ask, “Why can’t I see your face?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jonyo nudges me again. “Dude, they are waiting for you to play.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I look around the stage. Leni is on drums and Beni stands behind the mic. Scottie strums guitar. Jonyo plays his twanger, feet dangling over the edge.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“They got the old band back together,” I say, taking Juliette out, I begin to play. I’ve been neglecting her of late. My mind is filled with distractions but once I bring the harmonica to my lips, it’s as though we have never been apart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The flower girl is on stage with me. Her hair is on fire but she does not burn. “I am the one,” she says and wraps her arms around my neck. Playfully she pulls me in and bites my lip. Our lips lock and I part mine to receive her...but she is gone, leaving only Juliette at the tip of my tongue. So I play. A sound so clear it resonates like a bell, echoing down the valley. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The music calls forth a parade. Couples walk by holding hands. There are others, men and women running alongside, waving flags and banners; the band plays on. “We are the children,” the couples sing. Clear as day, I hear them. “Lead us, young lion. Lead us, Boy King.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What on Earth do they mean?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">People are dancing to my song. The music gets louder, more frenetic. The dancing becomes an orgy. Sex fills the air, the smell, the sound, the feel, so intense it lifts me off my feet. I’m light as a feather as I float over the crowd. I’m being drawn like moth to flame. Suddenly someone grabs my leg and pulls me back. It’s the man in the purple cape.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> “I just want a sip,” I plead with him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Trust me. That is not the wine you seek.” He points to the flower girl. “Your wine is over there.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I thirst so. “When can I drink?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Your time will come,” he says. “And when it does the taste will never be sweeter.” He disappears again, leaving me in a thither.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“That is most annoying, “I say. Distracted, I turn around to see — the Great Father is standing before me. The Great Father reaches out to shake my hand. “I’ve been waiting a long time for you. Call me John.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I recoil in his presence, stagger away; I lose my footing and fall off the stage, brace for impact, and expect to hit the ground hard. I find myself landing in a sand dune soft as a pillow. Brushing the sand off, I sit up. Before me is an aqua blue sea. The air is salty, gulls cry out overhead, the dune grass gently waves in the breeze; a school of fish swim by, pretty as you please, shimmering in the cartoon sun.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I turn to the Great Father. He stops me before I speak, insisting, “Please, call me John.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I feel uncomfortable calling him by name. “It is not how I was brought up. I was told to respect...”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He holds out his hand, politely, to stop me once again, smiling as he says, “Please, it is I who should be bowing to you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I don’t understand,” I start to say before noticing the beautiful mountain behind the Great Father. On the side of the mountain is a seashell. “Where am I?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You are back at the beginning,” John Kyser says and hands me a set of keys, three in all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“What are these?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“They belong to you. They are the keys to unlock the future,” John says. “They belong to the one who answers the question.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“How is it they belong to me?” I am confused. “What question?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Great Fath--John disappears. The sand, the sea, and the mountain all fade away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Call me John.” I hear an ethereal voice say. I am sitting in front of a computer screen. There is a question on the screen. The words are blurred but the question mark is clear. Next to the question mark is a blinking cursor. My fingers hover above the keyboard and I wonder what I am supposed to type. I ask the ethereal voice, “What am I supposed to enter?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I get a reply. “The word that means everything,” says the voice, “but has no meaning at all.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The vision ends and my eyes flash open. Those words ring familiar and I know why. My friends and I have our own language we call kaberky, a made up word that we use when we forget the name of something, or the name doesn’t come to mind fast enough. It’s silly speak, something to keep us laughing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The visions started about a year ago. It took a while for me to understand that the visions are of the future, my future. It’s all confusing and very frustrating.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I toss the sheets away and sit up in bed. It’s useless to try to sleep. Checking the compad on the night table, I see its only 5:10. I run fingers through my hair and use my nightshirt to wipe the sweat from my forehead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I get out of bed, and head to the back door. I’ve lived here my whole life. I exit onto the deck built by father in my eighth year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The morning sky is clear but I don’t know it. The moment I take a step out the door, a thunderclap strikes me followed by a bolt of lightning. I cover my eyes to protect against the flash and in the bright light I see the butterfly message appear again. This time the paper wings are held between two hands. A raindrop falls, smearing the word, awake. I shake my head and the image vanishes. I look up expecting it to rain, but there isn’t a cloud in the sky. The stars are fading in the indigo light. There are no clouds, no thunder, no lightning. So what is it, then? I wonder as I lean on the rail and light a joint to clear my head.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today is my birthday, a very important day in the Kyser Society. It’s my eighteenth birthday. I am a man today, ready to sign the Social Contract declaring which service I’m willing to join. It’s a major decision all boys my age go through. I have to choose between joining the Military or the Civil Service. It’s probably the reason behind my sleepless nights.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Based on my Martial Arts score in school, the military is the logical choice. I find that funny because I’m a pacifist at heart. The Civilian service appeals to me more, but I lack the skills to be a civil servant. Both services have their pros and both have their cons and I have all day to make up my mind.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today is going to be the last day I wake up in dome #3 and look up at the hometown sky. It’s sad. Unlike my friends who couldn’t wait to sign up, I’m in no hurry to leave home just yet. This is the only home I’ve ever known.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I take a drag from the joint. What really makes turning eighteen so special is sex. I can legally have sex now. I can choose to wait until the next Draft where I hold a rank of 79, or I can visit a LaSalle House. To be honest, I’m about ready to burst. The LaSalle looks like a good option. No, not really—I would be foolish to throw away a 79 rank.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Being so highly ranked, I’m looking at getting an 8.5 or a 9 as a mate. If I have sex before Draft Day, I would drop so low in the rankings that I’d be grateful to end up with a 5 or 6 at best. Don’t get me wrong, 5 or 6 girls are still very attractive. I can honestly say that I have not seen one Kyser girl that isn’t attractive regardless of rank, but why settle for merely attractive when I can have near perfection? It all boils down to abstention.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If I was to join the Military, with my MA scores, I could go into the officer-training program. The minimum rank I can receive in officer training is a 9. If I was to join the Civilian service as just an ordinary woodsmith like my father, I would get no less than an 8. That’s heady stuff and definitely worth consideration.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thinking of sex and objectifying women is something I do twenty-four hours a day. I’m eighteen, after all. Sex is everywhere. In everyday conversations, in publications and in decorations hanging on walls, there is no escaping it. I could be walking down the street and see lovers in the act. I could stand on my deck in the backyard, as I am doing now, and listen to my neighbors having sex—as they are doing now. In the yard next-door, there is a couple having sex. I think, because of the hour, it may be the gardener and his wife. I’m not sure. I could go over to see but don’t feel like getting myself riled up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It doesn’t help to have two sexually active parents. The open-floor design of the dome I live in, with its air vents and steel grating between floors, leaves very little to the imagination. They are in the room directly above mine. As a small boy I used to try to block out their sounds by putting a pillow over my head. It didn’t work. When I first heard them together, the way mother was yelling, I thought father was hurting her. I was naïve. I wanted to run upstairs and help her. That naiveté went away the moment I started learning what the noises meant. That was during my tenth year when Sex-Ed really kicked in. That’s the year we started watching video with sound. Towards the end of the year, live instructors would come into the classroom to put on demonstrations for us. My eyes and ears were opened that year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As I grew older, so did my curiosity. Instead of running upstairs to rescue mother, I started to peek through the grating to see what they were doing. I thought it vulgar at first, because I didn’t understand, but the more I watched the more fascinated I became.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From that moment on, I saw my parents in a different light. Mother, especially. Mother is tiny compared to father. She is 5’9” while he is 6’8”. She is a very attractive woman. I have seen her nude my whole life. Nudity is a way of life but I never put it together with sex until tenth year. Prior to that, seeing pictures of nude women was equivalent to going to Stadium Marketta with mother on her shopping days and looking at the lovely women half-dressed in House colors and never imagined them in positions or performing certain acts as portrayed by the class instructors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I live in a world where the women are beautiful, the men, big and strong. You put those two together in an open society and the results are remarkable. The Society looks upon sex as natural as breathing. I still hear the couple next door and part of me still wants to go over and peek at the couple, but I can tell they are winding down. Funny thing, it would be perfectly normal for me if I did go over. Sex is not reviled. It’s not consigned or confined to the bedroom. To look at or watch other people having sex is not considered a perversion. In fact it is considered a compliment. Of course if I was underage it would be a different story. Children are forbidden to participate in any sexual conduct.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Enough of that,” I say tossing away the roach and head back inside. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Back in the house, I hear the compad buzzing on my night stand. I run to get it before it stops and wonder who could be calling me at such an un-godly hour? I pick up the compad. It’s father. I scratch my head and rub the fog from my eyes. I must be reading this wrong. The icon showing father’s picture also displays the origin of the call. I have to read it again because I can’t believe what it’s telling me. He’s calling me from the store at Stadium Marketta. “It doesn’t make sense.” I scratch my head again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mother comes down just as I am speaking to myself. She’s wearing a silky nightshirt in House colors of green, blue, yellow and black. Still groggy from sleep, she walks passed me with one eye open. She squeezes my shoulder. “Morning,” she says. “Aren’t you gonna answer that?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Mother, why is father calling me from the store?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I don’t know; try asking him.” She yawns, disappearing behind the screen to use the toilet. I stare at the compad afraid to answer it. I worry that this is a dream, and answering it will cause me to wake up in some alternate universe from which I will never come back. Mother comes out of the toilet and washes her hands at the sink. I let the call go to voice mail.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“How could he leave here without my knowing it?” I look around, trying to figure it out. How long was I outside? I look at the time. It’s only 5:25.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She sounds surprised. “He didn’t wake you?” She slips out of her nightshirt and steps under the showerhead turning the water on. She squeals as the water hits her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It doesn’t even faze me anymore to see her in the shower. “I didn’t see him,” I reply, still scratching my head. “I’ve been up all morning.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Couldn’t sleep again?” She asks over the sound of the shower.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The question is irrelevant. “Why is father at the store so early?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“He was supposed to take you,” she says, her back to me. She turns around. “Hand me the shampoo.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I was a kid, just learning about sex, I would not be able to stand here without showing signs of excitement, but now I have become so desensitized to it, I hardly bat an eye. I dig the shampoo out of the cabinet beside the shower and watch as she lathers up. I’m not sure how to read her right now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Why would he take me? Today is my holiday—my birthday. He knows I have the day off.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You don’t have to remind me,” she says and rinses her hair, wringing out the excess before turning off the water. “Hand me a towel.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How can she be so ambivalent? This is really bothering me. Something is wrong and she is acting as if it isn’t. I fetch a towel from the same cabinet and hand it to her. “It’s not for work,” she says and proceeds to wrap the towel around her head. She steps out of the shower onto the drying screen. It’s pointless trying to talk to her now; she will not hear me over the dryer. The grate activates once both her feet step on it. Hot air bursts from vents in the floor and ceiling to dry her off instantly, except for her hair. The towel protects it. When she is finished, she goes into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I waited patiently for her attention. “Then why does he need me at the store?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I’ll let him explain,” she says and points to the buzzing compad in my hands. “Why don’t you answer it and ask him?” She asks and bends down to take out the coffee pot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I answer the call, while watching mother fill the coffee pot with water. “Hello.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“There you are, son.” Father’s image appears on screen. He looks worried. “I looked for you.” He sees behind me. “You’re still home?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I was on the deck out back,” I say. “How did you leave without me knowing?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You mentioned last night that you might go for a bike ride in the morning, so I just assumed that’s where you were.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I remember mentioning that I might go for a bike ride in the morning. I didn’t mean this early. “What’s going on, father?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I have a very important meeting and I need you to come to the store right away. I’ll explain when you get here.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every birthday is a mandatory holiday in the Society. That means no work or school. “Today is my day off. What do you need me for?” I didn’t want to spend one iota of the day in or near the store. Meanwhile, I watch mother busy around the kitchen, readying breakfast, while pretending she isn’t listening.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Come to the store and I’ll explain. I promise it won’t ruin your day.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mother raises her eyebrows, which tells me she knows something. It doesn’t matter. I can’t refuse my father. “I’ll be there as quickly as I can.” I hang up, and ask mother, “Is this some surprise you guys have cooked up for my birthday?” I try to probe her mind, but she has learned to block me out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My compad buzzes again. It’s Regan, my life-coach.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She’s in a good mood. “Hello Anthony.” The icon tells me she is calling from her house. No location, just house. I open the icon so her face fills the screen. Regan is in her mid-twenties. I venture to guess she was an 8 during her Draft. She works for the Census Bureau in their Central Monitoring division. She is dressed in CB gray which isn’t flattering. “You’re up early this morning.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wonder if she is in on it. “Yes, I am,” I say, feeling grumpy. “I didn’t sleep last night. And now, apparently, I have to work today.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Not today,” she frowns. “Today is your birthday.” She doesn’t even comment on the sleeping problem.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> “Father doesn’t think so.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Regan sees mother in the background and gives her a shout out, “Hello, Eliza.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mother answers, “Hi, Regan.” Mother is hovering. Very strange, I thought. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Regan keeps talking. “I’m sure your day will not be ruined. I have your schedule right here.” She pulls up the calendar. “You have plenty of free time this morning. I’ll update it with this new development.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don’t want my schedule updated. To argue is childish. “Thank you, Regan.” I sit at the table. Mother puts a plate of eggs, and a cup of coffee in front of me, then kisses the top of my head.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Regan goes through the daily briefing starting with the weather. “Showers in the south valley, sunny in the north with temperatures in Meadowbrook reaching a high of eighty-two.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She finishes the news. I can see there is something on her mind that she is dying to ask before continuing, “What is it?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Regan is supposed to act stoically, professionally with no emotion; conduct dictated by the Census Bureau that Regan and I dispensed with years ago. Regan is more like a big sister to me. “Have you made a decision yet?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I look over my shoulder to see mother has moved a little closer. I play it coy with a nod in her direction. “I have until midnight to declare.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mother slouches away. “Ugh!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I laugh as she walks away. “I intend to enjoy every minute,” I say.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“So I take it that means no,” Regan says sarcastically, the way a big sister would say it. In reality, I don’t know firsthand what it’s like to have a big sister. I’m an only child. The only way I do know anything about how sisters treat their brothers is through Jonyo and his two sisters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I’ll tell you,” I snark back, “when someone tells me what’s going on.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Reagan shrugs and continues with her morning brief.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I drink my coffee and listen. When she is done, I get up from the table and wash my face. I look around the room at the eight empty cubbies where the other children of a C4 House would sleep. When I was young, I asked so many questions as to why I was the only child. Those questions were avoided. Now I don’t even bother to ask. I go to my cubby and dress for the day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am going to ride my bike to the store; I am permitted to wear shorts when I ride. I put on a yellow and black t-shirt and blue and green biker shorts, tossing a kilt of the same colors along with the compad in my kit bag. Mother walks by on her way upstairs, carrying nightshirt and towel in one hand and mug of coffee in the other. “I have to get ready for the day.” She kisses my cheek and continues on the way. “Love you, son. Happy Birthday.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I remind her, “Don’t forget, we have a lunch date.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She doesn’t respond, just continues on her way, humming as she goes up the ramp. She’s acting very peculiar...</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-size: x-large;"><u><b>THE REAL INSPIRATION BEHIND THE GIRL WITH THE GHOST HAND</b></u></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the most common questions asked about my PSS
Chronicles series is what inspired the idea of Psyche Sans Soma, the paranormal
birth defect my main character, Olivia Black, was born with. I get this
question from readers all that time, as well as many of them telling me I wrote
the PSS phenomenon so realistically that, at first, they thought it was real
and looked it up on the internet. And I think the reason for this is that I
based PSS on something that actually exists known as Phantom Limb Syndrome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You see, I had a friend who was in a bad accident and he had
to have his leg amputated. Shortly after he was fitted for his prosthetic, I
was over at his house and he was taking his first steps in the back yard. He
got this amazed look on his face and said, "It's weird, but I can feel the
grass between my toes in the foot I don't have anymore. And I had a cramp last
night in the leg I don't have anymore. My leg is gone, but my brain still
thinks it's there." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I got home that day, I did some research on Phantom
Limb Syndrome and discovered it not only effects amputees but also people who were
born without limbs in the first place. It seems, our brains are hard-wired to
have a complete image of our body, even if that body never fully exists. And
that fascinated me and sent me on a journey of imagination asking such
questions as "What if children were born with visible phantom limbs made
of energy? What special powers might those limbs hold? And how would society
react to those who had them?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And so Ghost Hand, the first book of my YA paranormal
thriller series, was born. Since then, I've published book 2, Ghost Hold, and
book 3, Ghost Heart, and the fourth and final book, Ghost Hope is available for
pre-order now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Instead of a right hand made of flesh and blood, she was born with a hand made of ethereal energy.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">How does Olivia handle being the girl with the ghost hand?

But when Marcus, the new guy in Olivia's calculus class, stares at her like she's a freak, Olivia doesn't like it. And when her hand goes rogue, doing things she never imagined possible, Olivia finds herself running for her life with Marcus from a group of men bent on taking the power of her hand for their own nefarious purposes.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Incredible story! Ripley Patton is a talented and creative genius! I couldn't get enough of the story and certainly couldn't put it down..lol...this was so unique and intriguing that you never knew what was going to happen next and I loved that. I also loved that it was a story unlike any I have ever come across before. Totally unique and completely incredible!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really enjoyed each and everyone of the characters in this story except maybe Jason who was a complete pain in the ass which I hope he gets better in the next book. Nose was cool and I liked his sense of humour, Yale is a passive guy who doesn't like to see others hurt and we didn't get to know much about him but I got the overall sense that he was a good guy to have at your back and Marcus well there were times I liked him and others I didn't but overall he was a good leader and a solid guy. Emma was one of my favs, she was a true and loyal friend and I hope we see more of her in book 2.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The bad guys were atrocious! they were everywhere an they never gave up! they were really good and really sneaky. they didn't pull any punches and they used heavy handed tactics to get what they wanted. In other words they were the ultimate villains! not to mention all the gadgets they used to their advantage! these guys were good and I can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves next.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was on the best Paranormal reads of the year as it was unique and totally original! a great read for all you Paranormal fans out there!</span><br />

Marcus is lost beyond reach, and The Hold is in shambles.

But only if he can break her.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">They are scattered.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">They are devastated.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">They are ruined. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">Their only hope is Olivia's stubborn determination to thwart her captors and unlock the secrets of her ghost hand before Dr. Fineman can. Will she finally find the strength within herself to embrace the full power of her PSS?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">And will it even matter if Marcus has already betrayed her?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">*This Book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Amazing Book! Ripley Patton is a awesome storyteller and I couldn't get enough of this story! the twists the turns and the backbone of these characters was incredible and I loved every minute of their journey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I couldn't wait for this book as I had so many unanswered questions from the last book about where the characters were going and what was going to happen, I found that Ripley is a sneaky and sassy writer and no matter how many questions she answers she leaves you hanging in the end with a thousand more!...lol...I really hope this isn't the end for the Ghost brigade as I like to call them as I really have grown attached and would like to read more to see what fate has in store for them now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really have grown fond of them all, Passion is a big fav of mine and I would really like to get to know more about the mysterious kids sis as I am sure everyone would. I really miss Nose and Yale and maybe they could meet someone like them in a new book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If your as big a fan as I am of these books don't miss out on your chance to get this one as Ghost Heart is just that full of heart! get your copy today!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">Olivia Black does not feel safe. Nightmares plague her sleep and haunt her days. If she has to endure one more minute stuck in a safe house in rainy Portland, she's going to lose it. When Mike Palmer sneaks off to find her sister Kaylee without her, it's the last straw. She has to do something. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">Then Palmer's hackers find the Dome on a satellite feed: dark, abandoned and smack in the middle of the Oregon desert three hundred miles from where it started. If they can reach it before anyone else, they can crack the computer systems and access every piece of information on PSS the CAMFers and The Hold have ever collected. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">But in order to do that, Olivia must return to the origin of her fears in a race against all the forces that have ever pitted themselves against her. She must unravel decades of deceit to reveal the true origins of Psyche Sans Soma to the world at last.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
The cattiness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The fights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The shaming.
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't generally watch reality television, but I definitely don't watch reality dating shows. Besides the fact that it's completely staged, it's a horrible depiction of people -- women especially.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Women are pitted against each other to compete for the affection of a man they "fall in love" with after a week or two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I call B.S.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is complete crap.
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when my best friend, Koko, was hired as a makeup artist o the set of the most popular reality dating show, The One, I teased her mercilessly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She told me that if I didn't stop teasing her, she would get me back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And she did...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Which is how I ended up as a contestant on The One.

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Ohhhh, yeah,” I remembered, familiarity of the case and the names flooding my brain. “’Sweet’. That case ended her music career, didn’t it? I loved that song. I vaguely remember that he was the one who wrote it, but they settled out of court, right?”
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Yes. But do you know what he looks like now?” My best friend inquired.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“No… I just remember being fascinated by the case because—”
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I’m going to go ahead and stop you right there,” she interrupted, cutting me off mid-sentence.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We are not going to talk law right now. We are going to talk about you having the chance to bump uglies with Julian Winters. He is the—”
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I frowned as I interjected, “The sheer fact that you said ‘bump uglies’ has disqualified you from giving me advice about anything in general, but sex specifically. You need to—”
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A quick knock on the door followed by the sound of it being pushed open forced my sentence to end abruptly.

Gifted with uncanny abilities, yet also cursed with the taint of madness, Dominic must walk a fine line. After the horror of his past, his fractured soul is safe only in solitude…until one day, his refuge is irrevocably breached by an ethereal beauty haunted by demons of her own. He is torn between protecting himself and his brothers from exposure and persecution and following the desires of his heart…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">He lay on the pit floor, limbs stiff from lack of movement. The crawl space no longer accommodated his length. With no light to guide him, he planned each movement to avoid scraping against the granite. First, he shuffled his legs, then rolled his shoulders to bring back the circulation. His skin pulled and itched like the devil. The gouges must be scabbing over, he thought.</span></div>

Just a little while longer and he’d try again. He was preserving energy and hoping to be healed enough to try jumping. She would come soon, he knew. For now, the darkness was reassuring. It calmed his mind. As long as he was alone in the dark, nothing hurt him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">He didn’t hear her approach. He never did. Light peeked through the pit’s lid, casting the iron bars in distorted shadows around him. He trembled and buried his eyes in the bend of his arm. Panicked, he struggled to shove his gangly, pubescent body into a crevice between two outcroppings. If he merged with the granite walls, maybe she wouldn’t be able to find him and do more damage.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The boy squeezed his eyelids tight despite the arm shield. He knew who awaited him above. He squirmed further into the jagged stone. The taut scabs on his shoulders cracked open and bled. He did not bother to scream or beg. Nothing ever saved him from whatever agony she came to inflict. Instead he prayed, “Help me, God, please. Do not let her see me this time. Hide me.”</span></div>

Didn’t she know where he was? Couldn’t she see him? The pit was a scant six-foot cube and she waved the candelabra close enough so that hot wax splattered atop his forearms.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Her ham-fisted attempts to locate him left him halfway between fear and confusion. Why couldn’t she see him? Or touch him with her mind? By now, he should be frozen, mid-air with tangled clops of hair his only clothing. Fear ebbed into curiosity. He dared to lower his arm and peel his lids open. Even with his head still bowed, the candle-glow forced him to squint.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Here lay the true test, he knew. If his tormentor really couldn’t see him or sense him, she wouldn’t react to his gaze. He’d learned long ago to avert his eyes in her presence. He hadn’t glimpsed his tormentor up close in six years. The boy swallowed the upsurge of fear and snapped his head back before he lost his nerve.</span></div>

Another blink, then he relaxed. Hair. Her obsidian tresses dangled down between the iron grate, seeming to reach for him. Her face was contorted from its cloying perfection, but not in reaction…more from anger or maybe frustration he guessed. He continued to stare, shocked, not sure what to do. How long would her…blindness or whatever it was, last? She started to screech obscenities and jab around with her mind. The violent brush of her mind jerked him from his stillness. He used the jagged wall behind him to pull himself upright. Gaunt, with wobbly knees and a hobbled gait, he crept close enough to fan his hand in front of her eyes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">Welcome to Nocturne Falls,
the town where Halloween is celebrated 365 days a year. </span></span></strong><b><span style="color: #606060; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jayne Frost is a lot of things. Winter elf, Jack
Frost’s daughter, Santa Claus’s niece, heir to the Winter Throne and
now…private investigator. Sort of.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
<strong>Needing someone he can trust,
her father sends her undercover to Nocturne Falls to find out why employees at
the Santa’s Workshop toy store are going missing.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Doing that requires getting
to know the town, which leads to interesting encounters with a sexy vampire, an
old flame, and an elevator that’s strictly off-limits. The more Jayne finds
out, the more questions she has, but the answers lead her deeper into danger.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Will her magic save her? Or
will she come up cold?</strong></span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1573244454">5 of 5 stars</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This book was given to me by the Author In Exchange For an Honest Review.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This book was beautiful, inspiring and creative! Kristen never fails to amaze and wow when it comes to her incredible generous, she has talent in spades and this series shows how she can whip it out in handfuls of ice and snow!..lol</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jayne Frost daughter of the renown Jack Frost is coming to Nocturne Falls to investigate a string of disappearing winter elves. Jayne is a wonderful character, I found her to be full of life and heartfelt emotion. She really doesn't want to be a princess, she just wants to be herself. She finds that people treat her differently because of her status and she doesn't like it. She wants to be like everyone else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jaynes investigation leads her down some dark and dangerous paths, her curiosity also gets her into to trouble a lot. She has magic on her side though and she gets her way out of it more then she doesn't. She is very resourceful and brave and defiantly someone I would want on my side in a fight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Juniper and Buttercup were very interesting characters. As Jaynes friends they we great and I loved them both and as individuals they were both very different. Juniper you couldn't help but love she was quirky, bubbly, and fun. She was always nice and always happy and would forgive anyone anything. Buttercup on the other hand is a little more of the higher maintenance type of friend, she is opinionated, sharp and sassy. I really liked her because of these things as well because it took more to earn her friendship and she wouldn't hold back when she had something to say.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kristen Painter is an amazing author! I have read and loved her books forever and every time I read one I am still blown away by her talent. She can go from genre to genre with a bat of a eyelash, and create characters in the magic of a smile. She is creative genius and I can never wait to read the words from the next stroke of her pen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">don't miss out on your chance to do it too! get your hands on this new series today!</span><br />

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A powerful warrior and commander of the dark elf legions, Bleu is a loyal and devoted male, and one who has never failed in anything—except one thing. Love. When an elusive female dragon shifter surfaces in Hell again, giving him a mission to hurl himself into, he gladly returns to his hunt for her and the deadly blade she stole from his prince seven centuries ago, but as he closes in on his prey, fate reveals she is far more than his enemy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having escaped from the black market arena and her life as a slave, Taryn sets her sights back on the task she began seven hundred years ago when her brother stole a precious sword, but in the three centuries she’s been a captive, everything has changed. Corrupted by a craving for power, her brother has become dangerously obsessed with finding the blade and using it to claim the ultimate treasure—the position of King of Hell.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Faced with having to end her beloved twin to stop him from bringing all of Hell to its knees before him, will Taryn be strong enough to use the very blade he seeks against him? And when Bleu finally catches his elusive prey, will he listen to his head as it demands he complete his mission or his heart as it demands he claim his eternal mate?</span></blockquote>

I closed my eyes and counted backwards. A little calming technique Cara had told me in one of the rare moments during our training when she was not out for my blood. It was a useful tool. When I opened my eyes I could think more clearly. The footsteps were closer and any second their bearers would break from the stand of trees into the small clearing where I was being held.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">I braced myself, but nothing could have prepared me for the sight that came next. Angela’s fiery red hair broke through the tree line followed by a tall mystery guy with dark hair and a limp Wolf in his arms. I knew that Wolf. It was Ronan.¶</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">It's St. Lucy's Day and the battle has begun!

<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1564341656">5 of 5 stars</a></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This book was given to me by the Author In Exchange For an Honest Review. </span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was an incredible story! C.D. Gorri is one of the best when it comes to storytelling! I couldn't put the book down, as it was full of intrigue, suspense and drama as all great books are but Gorri goes above and beyond and creates a world that intensifies and excites as well as captures and grabs hold of you and doesn't let go until you are beginning for more!</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am a truly Huge fan of shifter lore and shifter stories and Gorri's Grazi series is one of amazing feats and adventure, twists and daring that I could never have imagined when I first started the series. I love it for its diverse characters and its complex world. No where else are you going to find such a world as this one!</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With each and every book I learn to love Ronan more and more! every little thing he does for Grazi is amazing and the bond they form in this one is beyond! Ronan has been a favorite of mine from the start and I can't imagine one without the other, they are true mates the two of them and I can't ever believe she would ever think otherwise. </span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The St. Lucy's Day Battle really comes to a head in this one and all the demons, witches and shifters come out of the woodwork, and not everyone is on the sides they should be! we have some surprising allies and some surprising turn coats in this one. Gorri really knows how to hit us all in the gut with the big and bad...lol....the Angel faced Demon makes his appearance as well with some startling discoveries, but can he be trusted? he is a demon after all. </span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This book ends on a high note and I really hope that there will be another. Grazi's journey is a forever ongoing one and the books get better and better. Don't miss out on your chance to get in on the action and get your copy of the series today!</span><br />

the same. He’s strong, seductive and oh so driven to get what he wants. By far
my favourite Draculas are Gerard Butler in Dracula 2000 and Luke Evans in
Dracula Untold. Although let’s not forget the original Bram Stoker character
who birthed this succession of sexy blood suckers.</span></li>
<br />
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Loki. Known more for his
Avengers appearances nowadays this envy driven little trickster has appeared in
so much more. Reading the Norse legends he gets up to all kinds of unbelievable
(and slightly disturbing) scenarios but is by far the most interesting
character going. Powerful with a wicked sense of humour he’s an interesting
villain who would be difficult to defeat. </span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Ichabod. Is it crass to cite
your own creation? Probably, but I’m doing it anyway. Ichabod appears in Bad
Timing and is a nasty piece of work. No respect for human life, hell bent on
killing Britannia and, oh he did something pretty nasty behind the scenes of
the first book (no spoilers!) I imagined him played by actor Orlando Bloom, so
he’s easy on the eye but you couldn’t trust him anymore you could a ravenous red
eyed beast who has the scent of your blood in his nostrils.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Rasputin. Inspiration for
books, movies and a very catchy Boney M song. And he was real. Hard to believe
that he did everything that the history books say, but if he did – what a
villain! Power mad and supernaturally gifted. It took a lot of men with a
serious amount of time and weaponry to kill him – you have to respect a bad guy
that doesn’t go down easy!</span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Lucifer. The ultimate bad guy.
From the start of time to right now, as you read these words, Lucifer has been
the most used villain throughout all forms of entertainment. Every culture has
him in one form or another and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t
know who he is. Of all the villains out there he’s the one that would be
hardest to defeat and, if he sets his sights on you, you better get your
affairs in order. With an army of demons and his own damned place of residence,
Hell he has to be the toughest villain going. Although, I must admit, Amazon
Prime’s new series Lucifer is showing him in a slightly more impish light. I
wonder what the real Lucifer thinks about that…</span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first book in the series, Bad Blood
came out late 2014 and the second, Bad Timing hit virtual book shelves just
before Christmas 2015. The prequel, Traitor’s Gate will be released as a free
read through Evernight Teen end of February 2016. Although Bad Blood and Bad
Timing must be read in that order, Traitor’s Gate can be read at any point in
the series. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So to celebrate the new releases the lovely
Amanda has asked me to give you 10 fun facts about the series...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">The wax work museum in Bad
Blood was based on my own experience at one in London. I visited it as part of
a school trip and found the Chamber of Horrors particularly frightening. It
stayed with me, and I drew upon this for the Britannia/ Philippe fight scene in
Bad Blood.</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">Britannia quite often mentions
her clothes, this is more of a trait from me rather than her. I’m addicted to
fashion and love shopping for clothes. Having a virtual doll like Britannia to
play imaginary dress-up with is just far too irresistible for me to not include
her outfit choices!</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">Reincarnation features in the
books, however no one is really sure it’s real – not even the vampires. I have
always had a fascination with reincarnation and truly believe that finding your
reincarnated true love would be the most romantic thing in the world – although
whether it would work out or not is another matter.</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">A Double Decker Bus features in
Bad Blood, but I’ve never actually be on one. I’ve lived in England all my life
and visited London a number of times, but have never travelled on this iconic
mode of public transport.</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">I still have nightmares about
zombies! I put it down to writing about them (a lot) and watching The Walking
Dead, but knowing where they come from and waking up in a cold sweat in the
middle of the night are two very different things!</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">I do love a man in uniform.
Josh, one of the romantic leads, is US Military and when I created him, he was
instantly more attractive to me when I dressed him in uniform. I’m also, for
some bizarre reason, very attracted to Drill Sergeants – I’ve no idea why.</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">My favourite character in this
series is…Nicholas.</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">Bad Timing includes a crucial
scene on Blackpool pier. I holidayed in Blackpool when I was young and the
arcades and beach have a very special place in my heart.</span></span></li>
<br />
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span><span style="font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="text-indent: -18pt;">When I was young, I was scared
of vampires. I used to wear a dainty silver cross for protection, which I still
have.</span></span></li>

book Bad Timing and what inspired you write it?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It’s the 2<sup>nd </sup>in the series, and was
always planned – although took me longer to write than usual due to some
unexpected life hurdles that I had to ungracefully jump over! The whole series
was really based on the fact that I wanted to read a book that had vampires
fighting zombies, but really couldn’t find one, so I took my reader hat off and
put my writer’s hat on! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Q: What was one of the most surprising things you
learned in creating your books?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">LOL, I’m not very perceptive, so probably learnt
very little other than to start with a main plot, then evolve subplots out from
that. Trying to write anything without a vague idea of where you’re going can
end up a jumbled nightmare, especially if you’re writing a series.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Q: What made you want to write a story with
Vampires and Zombies? And even Vambies!</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really love the supernatural and they both
seemed popular monsters that readers would like to see. The Vambie or Zompire
(depending on which vampire you side with!) was really just a natural
progression from the two. It kind of embodies the worst and most terrifying
traits of both creatures.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Q: I loved the book! But what is it that makes
your book stand out from all the other Vampire and Zombie books out there?</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think it’s because the monsters are both
together in one book. There are plenty of vampire novels and a ton of zombie apocalypse
novels – but few that have the vampires actually in this survival situation
against zombies. Vampires can be really old and they have talents, history and
enemies that make their zombie survival even more playfully intriguing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Q: In Bad Timing we meet the Ichabod. Did you
know at the beginning he would become such a formidable foe to your heroine? </b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes and no. I originally planned for him to have
more of a role in Bad Timing, however halfway through I got the feeling that
Brit’s main enemy in the book is time itself – without giving too much away,
she has to contend with how bad timing affects her life and the decisions she
has to make. I also had a completely different title for this one – that
changed after this realization too!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN">Well, I’ve plotted the whole series, so I know
the answer to that, but readers might find they root for a different outcome
after they read the prequel, Traitors’ Gate (due out 26<sup>th</sup> Feb

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Everything really. I love coming up with new
ideas for books, ways to see the world differently. I seriously enjoy writing,
but can’t wait till I’m making enough money to write full time. Right now I
have to juggle a full time job, writing, family and a semi-interesting social
life. Its hard work and I’d just adore to wake up every morning and know I had
all day to write – heaven!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">eBooks are great. They’ve really opened doors for
new writers. Publishers don’t need to invest too much money in the first
instance when they take on a new author, so the chances or a wannabe writer being
published have never been so high. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I must admit, I’m not a fan of self-publishing.
I’m sure it works for some authors, but for me personally it kind of feels like
the market has been flooded with books that haven’t had to pass through a gate
keeper. In rare instances this is a great thing and we end up with a wonderful
book that, in the past, might never have made it to the virtual book shelf –
but most of the time I find myself shying away from reading them unless a
friend recommends it to me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28374181-bad-timing">Bad Timing</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4958833.Nicky_Peacock">Nicky Peacock</a><br />
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1561743299">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
This book was given to me by the Author In Exchange For an Honest Review.<br />
<br />
Wow! This series gets better and better! I can't get over how much I love these characters and how fresh and wonderful I find Nicky's writing! I have loved this series from the start and I have to say Britannia’s character and her world get more and more interesting the more I get to read!<br />
<br />
I was intrigued by the fact of a vampires and zombies in the same novel from the first, but this series goes above and beyond just even that! We are introduced to the concept of a vambie (half vampire half zombie) a concept that of course people I am sure have thought about but no one has put to page before. I believe no one could bring them to life quite like Nicky did! They are a terrifying concept and an even more terrifying thing to read in action! Nicky did an amazing job bringing them to life!<br />
<br />
Not only did she bring the terrifying to life she brings Britannia's terrifying past to life in this second book, As if her present wasn't scary enough! Nicky does chaos and villains like a silk rapped nightmare, totally flawless and perfect! You know they are going to come at you, yet you are somehow surprised all the same when they do, as if they would change their minds before attacking. Its pure perfection!<br />
<br />
There was some surprising twists and a whole lot of uphill battles in this that keep you constantly on your toes throughout the whole thing. What gets me time and time again is the amazing size of Britannia's heart! No matter the cost to herself she will charge in to save anyone! She is a true hero.<br />
Don't any of you miss out on this incredible series!<br />
<br />

<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> “If there’s someone there, you’d better show yourself. Unless you want me to cleave off your head,” I shouted. I heard a cough and saw a tall, well-built man slip from the shadows. He wasn’t bad looking, but his dark hair was styled with cement-like gel and his eyes were far too blue to be natural.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Apologies. I wasn’t sure if you were friend or foe.” He nodded at me.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He was a vampire, probably a little younger than me.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Who are you?” I asked.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“My dear, you are the one trespassing on my territory. It should be me asking questions of you.” He gave me a sly smile, as if he was trying to get away with something. Like he’d farted and was waiting for me to smell it.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“If this was truly your territory you’d have attacked me, not slunk in the shadows like a sniveling child.” I pulled my axe back so I held it by the handle and it rested on my shoulder.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He put his hands up; he was unarmed and laughed beneath his breath. “I now understand the Elders rule.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He was referring to the old, no female vampires rule – misogynistic t scumbags. It was then that I got a good whiff of blood, live human blood.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Have you got people here?”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Why yes, we’ve collected a few to take to the Highlands. Would you like to join me for a drink?”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And he’d been openly feeding off them, great!</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“No, I’ll give that a miss. Where are they?”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“In the store room, back there. They’re uninfected,” he said with a sweeping invitation with his arm. “I must say, I’ve never seen a female vampire so beautiful.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Good grief, did he think this was some sort of date? That we would sit back and watch <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Dawn of the Dead</em> whilst munching on scared survivors? What an asshat!</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I narrowed my eyes and walked to the door he was pointing to. He smiled and gestured for me to open it. I did. Now I was fully aware that this could have been a trap, but even if a hundred vampires descended on me, I still had an axe to Red Queen their asses back to Wonderland.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“May I introduce myself?” he said behind me.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“No.” I stepped through the door and was hit with the smell of both old and fresh blood. I took in the large warehouse back quickly: boxes were piled high with electronics, gadgets and God only knows what other useless items, but there were also people crouching by them. They were blindfolded and roped together with a thick unforgiving plastic vine. Some were still bleeding from where he had fed off them. Some were whispering prayers in ragged voices. Some slowly pulled at their bindings, more like they were an itch than a problem. But all cowered when they heard his voice. There was a collective shiver that even caught me in its terrible wake. Whoever this vampire was, he was truly living up to monster status now.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Here,” he said as he lifted the plastic rope and pulled the nearest person toward us, “have a drink.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I looked at the young boy bound and blindfolded before me; he had blood all down his Simpson’s t-shirt and he’d pissed himself, probably days ago now. This was what the Highlands were going to be like, just with slightly less feeling and more order.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“My name is Ludwig. What’s yours, my blonde haired vixen?” He pushed the boy at me and I moved so that I was stood between them.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Britannia.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“What?” Ludwig’s eyes widened. He’d heard of me, the lack of blue hair had been what had put him off the initial recognition. If I’d looked more like my old self he’d have run from me, or attacked me in the shop. I might never have discovered his little person larder.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Yeah, I was forced into a make under.” I smiled sweetly at him, “Ludwig, you have something on your sleeve.” I swung the axe so hard that it cleaved his arm straight off. Blood sprayed across me, splattering my face and streaking the front of my hair. Unlike human blood, vampire blood is cool, smells metallic and tastes like sea water, kind of like your blood tastes to you. Some vampires get a taste for their own kind; those were usually the ones that the Elders sent me after.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ludwig’s look of shock was only matched by his girlish scream. He clutched at his leaky stump and shuddered. I lifted the axe again, this time to cleave off his head, but he must have regained a modicum of resolve, as he caught the axe’s blade in mid-swing. I quickly slipped my hands down the handle and, palms up, slammed it vertically so that its blade crushed against his skull. I heard a sickening crack as bone crumbled against the force. He keeled and stumbled back through the shop’s doors. I edged forward and crouched, sweeping my leg out to trip him over. Once he lay sprawled on the floor, I lifted my axe a final time and off rolled his head. It tumbled down the flat screen TV section.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The tethered humans were now desperately pulling at their bonds. I guess the big bad that had just killed their torturer was probably not someone they wanted to stick around and have tea with – better the devil you know.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I moved carefully toward the nearest boy. I gently took his blindfold from him and he blinked a few times and recoiled at my presence.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“It’s okay,” I said, hands out, palms up, “I’m here to help you. I won’t hurt you.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The boy edged further away from me, pulling on all their ropes. He particularly dragged all of the survivors onto the floor. I suddenly had an image of me leading them like a chain of dogs through the streets. If Satan had been on a leash, he’d have died. If I couldn’t do that to a dog, I’d be damned if I was going to be responsible for leading an all-you-can-eat zombie buffet conga line.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Look, I know you have no reason to trust me, but...”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You’re one of them,” said the boy, looking past me to Ludwig’s twitching corpse. He must have been old; it can sometimes take a while for the magic to leave older vampires.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We’re not all the same you know.” I stepped to his side and took a blindfold off a nearby woman, “Wait a minute, them?”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The woman gave me a quizzical look, “There’s another one. He had red hair and a posh accent; like from Downton Abbey.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay, now time was of the essence. I pulled out my pink handled knife and sliced the rope between all the humans. I removed all their blindfolds and counted them: twelve.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Right, here are your choices. You can say here and wait for Red, whoever he is, to come back and drink you dry, or you can follow me and I can get you the hell out of zombie central.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Zombies?” they all said together.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You haven’t noticed the slathering zombie masses?” I asked.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“No,” said an older man, who had managed to pick up a plank of wood and hide it behind his back while I wasn’t looking.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“How long have you been in here?”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The man chose then to swing the plank at me, which I caught and crumbled in my grip. The small crowd gasped and I think they were just about to all fall onto me, when the bell at the door of the shop chimed.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Oh no, it’s him. He came back for us.” A young girl of no more than thirteen cowered near me. I turned to her.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I won’t let him hurt you. I told you, we’re not all the same.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She bit her bottom lip and squeezed out a fat tear that rolled down her ruddy cheek.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“My name is Britannia. I know this is all a bit...” I struggled for the right word, “...weird, but I’ll get you some place safe. You just have to trust me.”</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“So, let me get this straight.” The boy whose blindfold I’d took off first edged toward me. “You’re a friendly blood sucking demon, and there are zombies outside. But you’ll protect us? At what price, you gonna feed off and kill us one by one like your friend there?” He motioned at Ludwig’s now still body. I kicked the vampire’s corpse out of the door and into the main shop, out of the eye-line of the humans.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: #073763; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I didn’t have time for this. I needed to get a new radio, some food and get back to the zoo. I needed to tell Tate I was alive and for Josh and Jack to know I was on my way to them. I hadn’t even bothered to ask these humans’ names and here I was trying to protect them, while they challenged my ethical code. I was just about to give the boy what for, when a rumbling groan echoed through the store. I peered out to see a group of zombies shuffling toward Ludwig’s body. Once there, they began to rip him apart like an overcooked turkey. There were stuffing- and cranberry sauce-like substances cascading out of the yawning cracks they were making with their bare hands. I gagged and quickly closed the door.</span></span><br />

<strong>A 500 year bloody game of vengeance will need to be put on hold if
vampires are to survive the zombie uprising. Bitter enemies, Britannia and
Nicholas must work together to save un-infected humans, delivering them to a
stronghold in Scotland. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Unable to drink the zombie blood, vampires need humans to stay alive.
But will they tell the survivors who they are, and what they want from them?
Will Britannia be able to hold back her vengeance? Is survivor Josh the
reincarnation of Britannia’s murdered true love? And can she bring herself to
deliver him to the safe hold? </strong><br />

<strong>Survival instincts run deep, but bad blood can run deeper.</strong></span></b></em></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></b></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #073763; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Another death, kidnapping, and the arrival of a not-so-new Nephilim; Maximillion has reached his tipping point. With the consequences of his actions looming in the darkness, the Nephilim of Wrath may have another threat to worry about—himself. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">When Max is approached by The Wanderer in regards to a mutual adversary, he will have to make a deal with the devil to save the only family he has left—even if it means infiltrating enemy territory without the aid of his friends. And leaving them in the hands of Sienna, the Nephilim of Lust. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">Will this temporary truce with The Wanderer buy him more time, or speed up his prophesied demise? Can he trust Greed or Lust? </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #073763; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">Alliances will be formed, teams will be chosen, and questions will be answered in the third installment of the Sins of the Fallen series. </span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">The lines between good and evil are clear—and sometimes it feels good to be bad…</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1559480032">5 of 5 stars</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This book was given to me by the Author In Exchange For an Honest Review. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This story was amazing and probably my favorite of the three so far in this series! Max takes on his most dangerous and most perilous adventure yet. Max is one of the best characters I have come across in a series, he has grown up fast, been self reliant, and has leaned on others when necessary to get the job done. There hasn't been a whole lot of sobbing about his life being torn in two even though it was, although he hasn't just gone with the flow all the time either. Max has flourished with a grace few characters before him have done and he comes out on top in this one in my opinion a better and stronger than ever man.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Karina Espinosa is a beautiful writer and this series is one of my all time favorites! Her characters are diverse and the enemies around them never stop. They are complicated, twisted, dark and driven in this one, and I felt like I was consistently on the edge of my seat waiting for the next tragedy to happen. We meet The Wanderer and the Wild Hunt in this book, both formidable foes! I didn't know who to be scared of most! Karina makes her villains to be the best! Villains at times are the best part of the story and when they are tied in so tightly with the heroes like this one, at times you don't know who the good guys are and who the bad are!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We got to see more of Georgia in this one as well although not as much as I had hoped as she is always on the run and a whole lot of crazy...lol....it was still great to see her help as much as she could to help her fellow Nephilim. I loved getting to know more about Sienna though, we get to see why she is so damaged and forlorn. Her need to be loved, and her need for acceptance from others stems from a dark and hurtful past. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I totally couldn't believe the ending! Karina you sly minx you! I totally can't believe you ended it that way and I have to say I totally banged my head on the bed when I got to the end....lol....I couldn't believe it was over! I can't wait till the next one to see what happens so get writing! LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don’t miss out on this totally brilliant series! Karina is a wonderful and creative writer! Her characters are diverse and her world like no other! Trust me you don't want to miss it! Get your copies today!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was an amazing story! Sarah never fails to amaze and dominate when it comes to storytelling, its why I love her tales so much! I never miss a Sarah Pepper Story!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sarah doesn't disappoint with this new book, its edgy, sexy and a whole new chapter of strange that she is so famous for. Sarah brings a whole new type of funk and frown to town with her characters Declan and Piper, I couldn't get enough! Delcan is a whole new side of Rumpelstiltskin that we have never seen before! he is sassy, sexy, and incredibly dangerous! Piper aka the Pied Piper is totally a new twist on the character and something that is so Sarah Pepper that I couldn't help but be in awe and smile throughout the whole book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sarah has a knack for making her characters likable and evil all at the same time, you love to hate them and hate to love them. Delcan is such a character, he wants to be good as he has been bad for far too long and he has fallen in love. Good however is against his nature and Bad always out ways the good in almost every situation. Piper new to Delcan's ways struggles with her humanity and has the opposite problem Good is her moral compass but Bad just now feels to good to stop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Delcan's enemies around every corner, they can't or don't know who they can trust, including the very people who are there to help them. Can Love really be the thing of fairy tales and conquer all?</span><br />

@unconventionaldamsels who rock piercings, refuse to conform to society’s
rules, and aren’t obsessed with labels, check out the “Once Wicked” series.
Happily Ever After doesn't define the misunderstood evil villains we love to
hate. Their story is so much deeper than their fairy princess counterparts, yet
were never told. That's a damn shame. They aren't always as wicked as they are
made out to be. Well, not all of them. So until the clock strikes midnight and
the (other) glass shoe drops, enjoy these not-so-Prince-Charming book
boyfriends in this modern series, #OnceWicked.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Garamond, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #111111;">Sarah J. Pepper specializes in dark,
paranormal romance - think "happy ever after" but with a twisted,
dark chocolate center. Real-life romance isn't only filled with hugs, kisses,
bunnies, and rainbows. True-love can be more thoroughly described in times of
darkness and tribulation. It's in those harsh moments where you see what a
person is truly capable of - both the good and bad. Sometimes prince-charming
isn't always on time, and the glass slipper is a little snug. However, it
doesn't mean Charming is not Mr. Right, and who says every shoe is the perfect
fit? Get a glimpse inside her head at </span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="background: white;"><a href="http://www.sarahjpepper.com/">www.sarahjpepper.com</a></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #111111;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A dazzling, romantic fantasy series set in a mix of Elizabethan and frontier worlds from Richelle Mead, #1 internationally bestselling author of Vampire Academy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Brilliant and original, Mead’s new series starts off with a bang and will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.”</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Big and sweeping, spanning the refined palaces of Osfrid to the gold dust and untamed forests of Adoria, The Glittering Court tells the story of Adelaide, an Osfridian countess who poses as her servant to escape an arranged marriage and start a new life in Adoria, the New World. But to do that, she must join the Glittering Court. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies who appear destined for powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. Adelaide naturally excels in her training and even makes a few friends: the fiery former laundress Tamsin and the beautiful Sirminican refugee Mira. She manages to keep her true identity hidden from all but one: the intriguing Cedric Thorn, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Adelaide discovers that Cedric is hiding a dangerous secret of his own, together, they hatch a scheme to make the best of Adelaide’s deception. Complications soon arise—first, as they cross the treacherous seas from Osfrid to Adoria, and later, when Adelaide catches the attention of a powerful governor. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But no complication will prove quite as daunting as the potent attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. An attraction that, if acted on, would scandalize the Glittering Court and make them both outcasts in wild, vastly uncharted lands. . . .</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“With a full cast of bold and original characters, Mead does a superb job of building a world that teens will be excited to enter into and disappointed to leave. The plot is intricately woven, and the ending promises future installments from other characters’ points of view. Brilliant and original, Mead’s new series starts off with a bang and will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.”</span></div>

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28002124-thirst">Thirst: Blood of my Blood</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14715998.R_P_Channing">R.P. Channing</a><br />
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1551525918">3 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
This book Was Given To Me By The Author In Exchange For An Honest Review.<br />
<br />
This story started off strong but then started with its back and forth between the past and the present. I would just get used to one way and the book would switch off to another which left the book a little off kilter for me. I think it would have been better with a little less back story and more present. <br />
<br />
For all its back and forth the book was fast paced and the plot was amazing! R.P. Channing's told a story of lovers century's old and living their lives again and again, and people who would stop at nothing not even their own deaths to win a war centuries long.<br />
<br />
Brenda was defiantly my favorite of the characters she had heart, spunk and everyone could use a best friend like her.

</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My life was perfect. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had the perfect shoes and the perfect friends and I
lived in the perfect house. My nails were perfect and my hair was perfect
(except on Sundays, it was always windy on Sundays) and I had the perfect clothes.
My lips were a perfect red and my hair perfectly straight. My eyeshadow was
perfect, my hips were...<i>okay</i>, and my
waist...<i>well</i>...also okay. Nothing was
wrong in my life. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But then there was Jack.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jack was a problem.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He needed to go. I mean, when you’re dead, you’re <i>dead</i>! I had told him this endlessly.
Somehow, Jack didn’t get it. I mean, I felt sorry for the guy. Sure. Being
stuck between this life and the next. But just because I found him, does that
mean I needed to keep him?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think not!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sadly, when Jack got that look in his eyes, that
weary, almost teary (if his tear-ducts worked) look, I melted. I just couldn’t
send him away. Not even Jack knew where he would go after he died. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Would he, like, <i>die</i>?
As in — dead, nada, kaput, finito, <i>gone</i>,
no more? Bye bye, sayonara, ciao, hasta la vista baby and all that?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I couldn’t have that on my conscience. No way. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I lay on my bed, wondering what to do about him.
“Jaaaaaaack,” I hollered. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Jaaaaaaack!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Still no answer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Jack!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jack...<i>materialized</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His eyes rolled down to the ground. He was making
those puppy eyes again. “Jack, I told you not to do that. I told you not to
play on my sympathies.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His puppy eyes became worse. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His skin was gray and, well, <i>dead</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Oh, brother,” I said. “I have to do something about
you. If mom finds out I have another ‘imaginary friend’ — at my age — well, I’d
die of embarrassment. But, like, <i>really</i>
die. Not like you.” I wondered about this. <i>Would</i>
I die? Was Jack a freak accident, or did all people live on like him? <i>Think of the cemeteries...</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The idea excited me somewhat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>What would you
have me do, Miss Kira?</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Knock off the Miss Kira crap. I told you it’s just <i>Kira</i>.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>Yes, Miss Kira.</i>”
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The dead. There’s just no reasoning. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Fine, Miss Kira it is then.” Rover barked like a
lunatic in the garden. No one else might be able to see Jack, but I was sure my
dog could. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I <i>have</i> to
do something about this,” I mumbled.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mike knocked on the door before I had time to leave
the house. Mike was the guy I thought (at the time) was perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Who is it?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“It’s me, baby.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Baby, urgh — I wasn’t his <i>baby</i>. I dated Mike because he was the quarterback, because girls
are <i>supposed</i> to like the quarterback,
because it’s just so darn <i>perfect</i> to
be seen with the quarterback, like we’re brainwashed into thinking these things
from the first romantic doll set mom buys us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Uh-huh. Gonna let me in?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US">So you
can try rub me up and then complain when I don’t let you?</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> This, dear reader, was the big problem with Mike. The second we first
kissed, his hand went <i>way too far south</i>
for me to be comfortable — and I pulled back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mike suddenly wasn’t so perfect. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Uhm, I was just on my way out,” I said.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Kira? C’mon, open the door.” He sounded upset. “Is
there someone in there with you?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Boys. As if.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I didn’t know much about love (<i>nothing</i>, actually) but I knew this wasn’t it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Uhm, now’s not the time, Mike.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“C’mon, Kira, what’s going on?” He banged harder. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When in doubt...lie. I opened the door a crack.
“There’s a dead rat in the house, Mike. Been here for days. I gotta go get some
detergent and stuff to handle the stench.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mike stepped back. He peered through the crack of the
door. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“It’s really bad,” I said. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I’ll drive you.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I’m afraid the smell” — I stuck my armpit to my nose
— “has found its way all <i>over</i> me.
I’ll drive myself.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“O — okay. Fine.” And then he grinned like he wanted
something. “Later? My place?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US">Urgh</span></i><span lang="EN-US">. “Uhm, sure...er...later. Not sure when though.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Six.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I fought the urge to roll my eyes. According to girls
at school, he was apparently so damn good looking — theoretically. But for me
personally, he did nothing. Moved nothing. Twisted <i>nothing</i>. “Look, I gotta go, Mike. I gotta — ”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Kira.” His eyes grew stern. “You’ve been avoiding
me...”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bingo! Well done contestant number one! And what have
you won? A <i>brain</i>!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I tilted my head. “Mike, look, this...<i>rat</i> — I need to deal with it. We’ll talk
later, okay? Bye.” I closed the door, not waiting for an answer, and peered out
the peep hole. Mike hung around for a second, shoulders wide and eyes glaring
straight at me through the door. Could he see me? Did he know I was looking at
him?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He kicked something off the ground, and I had the
distinct impression he mouthed the word <i>Bitch</i>
before leaving. But I wasn’t sure...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Roll down the window, Jack.” Jack was <i>recently</i> dead, so he still had a smell
about him. (Which only <i>I</i> could
smell...)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had purposely skipped breakfast. Maybe Jack would
help me lose weight. I was (still am) a little wide, although it had never
stopped guys flirting with me. I know how to dress. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But I could be skinnier. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lucy Rogers was skinny. All bones and no boobs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Charlene Carverton was a babe. Cheerleader. Big chest
(which she pushed out generously with a push-up — if only guys knew). Toned
thighs. Charlene only dated college boys (back then), which I still think is
pretty gross for a girl her age. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>He’s not for
you</i>,” Jack said out the blue.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Hmm?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>This...</i>Mike<i> — he’s wrong for you, Miss Kira.</i>” For
all Jack’s faults (mainly, <i>being dead</i>),
he has a good heart. Factually, probably it’s why I kept him around at first.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You think I don’t know that?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>Then why don’t
you dump him?</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I braked at a stop sign. Looked left and right.
“Because I’d look like an idiot. I flirted with him and showed interest, and
one kiss later I can’t stand the sight of him.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>So dump him.</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“It’s not that simple. Kids at school — they can be
vicious. I have to let it fade slowly. If I drop the bomb on him, I’ll never
hear the end of it through senior year.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“And you care?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, I did. Forget Guantanamo, schools are <i>rough</i>. “You don’t understand, Jack.
Maybe school was different in your day. But in mine, well, we walk through
metal detectors.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>Schools weren’t
too different in my day</i>.” I noted the sadness in his voice.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“You okay?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US">Right.</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> “You miss...your life?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jack shrugged. “<i>I
like being with you, Miss Kira. And I don’t remember much of my life. I think
I’m in limbo.</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Limbo?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i>Yes, like I

ago, but never published anything even after churning out over a million words
of fiction. <i>Thirst: Blood of my Blood</i>
is the first book he dared to publish. When asked why, he said, “Because it’s
the first thing I wrote that my wife actually enjoyed reading.” When not
hammering away (most literally) at his keyboard, he can be found buried in a
book, reading anything from romance to horror to young adult to non-fiction to
comedy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
