High atop a mountain crest sits the grand Gahana Royal Hotel. The world’s most elite are dying to see what lie<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">s beyond its iron gates, yet only a select few earn an invitation.<br />How do they find themselves on that exclusive VIP list? By being truly monstrous human beings capable of the most fiendish acts. Once an invitation is extended, the evaluation begins. The Court of Savages thrive off the hunt, the thrill of the chase and the delight of the feast. Yet they adhere to a strict code. Never will they harm a human who is innocent, good, or reformed. Their beastly pallets require the most vile of beings and an invitation to the secretive resort has just been extended to London Stiles. Can she prove there’s enough goodness in her to save, or will her check-out date be postponed indefinitely?</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Amon sat at the head of the table that filled the hotels long
dining room. The deep burgundy walls cast a crimson glow in Amon’s black eyes
as he peered down at the five young faces staring up at their new master.
Amon’s plan had finally come to fruition. The hotel, grand and empowering, was
finished. The staff all in place. And the beautiful creatures he’d taken years
to curate, were finally here together. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Amon, a beast so old no one knew his actual birthdate, but many
had speculated. Some said he was older than the Master and others said he was
born shortly after. But many knew one thing that was the absolute truth; he
belonged to no one, not even the Master. He was and always would be, his own
master. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This hotel was his dream for years, and now that it stood in the
mountains of America’s most dense forest, he could do what he was born to do.
Hunt. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">With his long fingers steepled almost prayer like, he finally
spoke. “You sit here with me today eager and hungry. Well, we all are hungry my
friends. For years we were told to keep our eating habits a secret. Never
allowed to let the public know our true selves.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">They all nodded as they understood his words. They’d heard it all
before. If humans found out about them one thing was certain, they would panic.
And nothing was worse than humans who feared anything different. Or when they
worried for their lives. They’d seen it many times. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Salem,” said the black-haired witch, Mariet. “The worst of
it.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Agreed,” said Amon. “And I swear to you my friends, this will
never befall our humble place.” He raised his arms into the air, motioning to
the grand hotel around them. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“We are safe here? To be as we are?” Asked Lathan Osterius, the
demon that Amon had practically raised. Even after Lathan separated from Amon
for a hundred years, he did eventually find his place in his court again.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Safe to do as we please. It’s guaranteed, my son. We are free to
hunt as we wish. But only here, as I say. If you stray from the hotel and hunt
off grounds, I cannot help you,” he warned them. His eyes landed on the two
newest recruits, the twins. They were as reckless as their power was. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fia, the twin who often hunted with her brain. The one who brought
her sister, Ina, to join Amon and his feast, nodded in understanding. Her red
eyes looking harsher than she was. She saved Ina, a last-ditch effort, and
begged her to join the feast of beasts. Hoping it would save her sister from
the brink of destruction. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It wasn’t that Ina wanted to die or get herself caught as she
hunted off the shores of the gulf. She just loved to watch the human men who
treated women cruelly die. Her whole life she’d been taught to teach karma to
those men. But after she had been seen a fifth time by another human, Fia knew
they’d start hunting her. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Amon had brought them in, as a favor to Fia. His only rule was
that they never hunt the shores again. Karma was fine, but only if it was
delivered to the souls who earned it here under this roof. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Knowing the sisters needed water, he built them a large body of
water behind the hotel. Fia would stay in the lake, away from her sister.
Perhaps someday they’d be together again, but for now it was best to let Ina be
by herself. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The last to speak was Nola. When she spoke, everyone listened
intently, her presence commanded silence. Especially when it came to Lathan.
His dark eyes constantly watched her, even as she was just merely watching
others. Whether she knew he was looking her way was never known. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She pulled her red hair out of her face. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“And these humans you hired as staff, they’ll keep our
secret?” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Amon nodded. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“How can you be sure?” she urged. Amon smiled at her. She was his
favorite, not because he was in love with her like Lathan was, but because he
respected her more than the others. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Without hesitation, she said, “I do not trust humans, Amon. Do you
not remember how my family died? How the humans hunted us down like <i>we</i>
were the monsters. All we killed then were their livestock and they killed my
family like they were killing their children. All we took from them was their
food. What would the humans do here, if they knew we were killing their own kind?” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A good question for Amon, who didn’t look shaken by it. Still, she
didn’t trust Amon’s plan. He leaned forward and touched her cold cheek. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“My dear Nola, you must understand that I have this under control.
I am older than all of you put together. I have seen the earth before humans
inhabited it. Before they became the kings and queens that ruled. My life has
given me one thing, and that’s an understanding of how they work.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I know what makes them tick. What they desire. And that is to see
their kind suffer. Not the ones who are innocent, no. The humans who deliver
nothing but cruelty. The hatred they have for their kind that do bad onto
others. The evil they hold in their hearts for those who have hurt them. It’s
delicious. Can you not taste it, my friends?”</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Amon pressed a button and the door to their room opened. In walked
fifty humans, dressed in Amon’s strict uniform as the new staff of the hotel.
Their fear apparent on their faces and in the air. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Taste it, friends,” Amon said quietly before he addressed his
staff. “Humans, tell my court here how much you hate the humans who have hurt
you. But, do not use your words. Use your mind. Think of how they damaged you
inside and how badly they deserve to die by our hands. Go ahead, you are safe
with us.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">With that they closed their eyes, or stared at the monsters who
sat in front of them. And Nola sniffed the air around her, her teeth-baring and
she rubbed her throat as the familiar feeling of hunger clung to her senses.
Mariet’s teeth chattered as she gripped the table in front of her; hunger
boiling in her belly. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lathan stared at Nola as he had learned to control his hunger, but
not to control his desire for Nola. God how he’d love to pull her onto the
table and undress her. He wanted nothing more than to stare down at her bare
pale body and treat her like the goddess she was. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The twins writhed in their seats, barely able to control the
burning rage in their bones. They were born to deliver justice to these people.
The Sister’s Karma, they were sometimes called, but sirens of the sea they
truly were. For them the hunger was overpowering, for they truly only fed
on humans who did the worst. Siren’s often got overlooked the most.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As they all anticipated feeding, now more than ever, Amon
dismissed his staff. He addressed his friends once again. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

taking care of you and delivering justice to those humans who have been
wronged. I assure you, you will be treated as the royalty you are.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lathan smiled at Amon, and gave his nod of approval. The twin’s
both said, “Aye,” in unison. Mariet made Amon promise that the humans who
resided in the sleepy town some miles away would never know what was happening.
Once he did, she seemed content. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was Nola who was the hardest to convince. There were too many <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what if’s</i> for her to consider. She’d
seen too much horror in her life and she wanted a peaceful existence. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Nola,” Lathan said, addressing her from across the table. “You
lost a family, let Amon give you that back. With us you’ll have safety. Out
there, there are no promises.”<br />
<br />
Something struck a chord within as she seemed to relax a bit more. Lathan was
known to calm many. Perhaps it was his dashing good looks, or maybe his deep
voice. But whatever the reason, she said, “I’m trusting you here. Do not make
me regret it.” </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-top: 1em;">
It was meant to be a fun night at the circus for Keelie and her friends. They were graduating soon and this was part of their yearly tradition. Never in her wildest mind did Keelie think that the Illusionist tent at the edge of the woods was anything to fear. After all, the circus was supposed to be fun, right?</div>
<h3 style="font-family: inherit; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Exclusive Excerpt </span></h3>
<div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By the end of the circus show, the girls were exhausted from
laughter and the boys were ready to move on. Carver’s mood had gotten a little
brighter, but not enough to improve the night’s now ruined plans. Keelie wanted
to see the illusionist badly but the others wanted to check out the new Fat
Lady show.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Fine,” she said finally. “I’ll go check his show out and you
go see the fat lady.” She left them all and walked off. She wasn’t mad at them,
but she was a little disappointed. Especially with Graham, he knew how much she
loved that sort of stuff. Sitting and making fun of an overweight lady wasn’t
fun to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Hey Keelie, wait up,” Carver called to her. “I want to go
see the magician with you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Really?” She was happy he was coming and all, but he didn’t
seem like the type to like a show like this. Especially after what he was going
through. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Yeah, why not.” He smiled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They walked across the grounds and looked for the tent. They
finally spotted it in the far corner and made their way to it. Once they got
close enough they noticed it was surrounded by an odd fog, that only lurked
around the tent. Keelie got goose bumps across her arms and Carver pulled his
coat tighter. It wasn’t that cold outside but for some reason they both felt a
chill. No one stood outside to accept tickets nor was there anyone waiting for
the show. They were the only two people there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Maybe we missed it,” Keelie suggested.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It says the show starts in ten minutes. Maybe we are just
early, that’s all.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keelie shrugged and got closer to the entrance hoping to
sneak a peek inside. But as she got closer she noticed a sign in front: “What
is the real illusion? Come inside to find the answer.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was alluring that was sure, but by the looks of the tent
it screamed darkness. Sure, she had seen the people on T.V. who did daring acts
that would scare her. But this wasn’t a freak show, it was a family circus in
the suburbs. This only made Keelie want a look inside even more. She got closer
and closer to the opening. Her breath catching in her throat as she touched the
velvet rope holding the curtains closed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Stop!” Carver shouted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She turned to a frightened Carver, and retorted “I only want
to peek inside Carver, calm down.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When she turned back around a woman stood in front of her
holding a burning cigarette in her hands ever so delicately. She looked like
she had come from another time and place. Her hair was glossy black and pulled
up on the sides by clips with black roses on them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Oh, sorry, nice costume,” Keelie said nervously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It is not a costume. Boy, aren’t you pretty! What are you
doing here?” the woman asked as she took a drag of the cigarette.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“I came for the show,” Keelie answered with a laugh. What
else would she be doing here?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“And you, boy, you came for the show too?” she asked Carver.
He nodded and his mouth fell open when the woman smiled and winked at him. She
was beautiful, in a gothic sort of way. Keelie eyed her suspiciously. There was
something strange about her for sure. And maybe a little familiar, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Once you enter, there is no going back the way you once
came. I need to make that clear,” the woman said as smoke came out of her
mouth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keelie laughed nervously. Was this was a trick to scare them?
She wasn’t some little kid entering a haunted hayride. She knew there was an
exit, just like there are ways out everywhere. It was dark and eerie outside.
She hoped this was just part of the act. It wasn’t what she was expecting, that
was for sure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Do you understand?” the woman asked again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They both nodded and the velvet rope fell to the ground while
the curtain opened. Keelie strolled in with Carver right behind her. Once she
saw the stage in front of her, she was shocked. The inside was almost as big as
the circus show tent. The stage in front of her was lit dimly by a small light
in the center.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="CHBBnorm">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gothic woman circled them a few times, looking them over.
Carver stood tall while Keelie shrunk in her nervousness. There was something
about this whole place that didn’t feel right. The air was thick and heavy, and
the feeling wasn’t welcoming at all. But still, she remained here. She didn’t
want to leave, her curiosity winning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By now you should know that my next book, The Librarian, releases June 17th. I'm excited and eager to release this book to you all. I've been working on the idea for this book for going on three years now. The idea of this book came to me when I was at a book signing in northern New Jersey. There was something about the small book store that screamed, "Write a book about me!" On the drive home I concocted The Librarian. I knew exactly who the characters were and what their purpose would be, but what was hard was the timeline. I had to do a lot of research on Jack Ridgewell's era. That meant learning about Victorian era and how they did everything from eating, dating and dressing. Ultimately I am more than please with how the book turned out. I think you'll all fall in love with Jack and Emmeline; at least I hope so. </span></i></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">

<div class="CHBBStyle">
I spent the rest of the day filing paperwork for the funding
process and preparing to open the library doors on Monday morning. I told Rose
and Becca to spread the word. Tarryn had decided to move her smaller items in
already, and she was asleep by nine the same night. It didn’t seem strange to
me that I had a roommate; instead it made me feel comfortable. I never lived
alone before, and I would feel lonely otherwise. Tarryn was quiet, but I knew
in time she’d get used to me and I’d get used to her. We just needed to get to
know each other first. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
Once I was done with the paperwork, I filed the books that
were left on the shelf from when Gram was still here. As I placed the classic
books on the correct shelves, I felt a longing to finish reading my mysterious
book in my nook. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
So, instead of going to bed at a decent hour, I climbed into
my cozy space and picked the book back up. I didn’t open it right away. Instead
I inspected the outside for any sort of title. I found nothing of the sort. I
flipped to the title page once more, trying to find my place, and that’s when I
saw the word on the page. It was just a simple “The” typed out on the once
blank title page. I ran my finger across it and realized it was printed in ink
as if the press had done it. I was sure the night before it was blank, but then
again, I was sure my dream about being with a man was real. So I wasn’t really
a reliable source at the moment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
I found the spot where I ended with a dog-eared page. I
absolutely hated doing this to the book and didn’t remember it at all. I
usually had a nice bookmark, but this seemed to be the only thing to mark the
page before I had fallen asleep. Running my fingers across the crease at the
corner of the page, I settled back and started reading.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
<br /></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
I woke up once again face down, this time I was in grass. I
blinked my eyes and felt the blades of grass tickling my nose and lips. I
pulled myself up and took a deep breath. I looked around and saw the fields
upon which I had dreamt of the night before. I was back in England. I was
dreaming the same dream. How odd. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
There were times when
I had thought I had the same dream over and over again, to only find out that
it was my mind playing tricks on me. This was no mistake. I was, once again, in
the same place. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“Emmeline, are you all right?” I looked up and blocked the
sun from my eyes. The man from before was standing in front of me. “You … you disappeared.
It happened so fast that I fear I cannot explain to you how it happened. Now
you’re here once again.” He sounded really confused and, to put it lightly, so
was I.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
This dream felt way too real. It was exactly like before. So
real and tangible that I couldn’t explain it even if I tried. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“I … I don’t know how I’m here again,” I mumbled. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
He reached out to steady me as I swayed to the side. “You’ve
been gone for days. I worried I was going mad, that your presence was one of my
imaginings. I dared not to speak a word to anyone about it. I have to admit,
Emmeline, I’ve been going slightly crazed since I saw you last.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
His hair was disheveled and he had grown a slight beard that
only enhanced the sexiness of his strong jawline. His deep set blue-green eyes
looked weary, and for that I felt awful.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
My sudden disappearance had made him fall apart, that was
apparent. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“I’ll tell you, I feel like I’m going crazy too. Trust me,”
I admitted. “Can we sit somewhere? Out of the sun?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“Of course.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
He held my arm and led me to a tree in the center of the
field. Once underneath the large tree, I felt instantly better. I looked down
at my clothes and saw that I was, once again, in my own clothes. This time a
little better than before. I was wearing yoga pants and an old T-shirt. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“I can’t explain how or why I’m here. Hell, I don’t even
know your name, but I’m here again and I’m beginning to think that this isn’t a
dream. That I’m really here, with you,” I said as I touched his arm. “I’m not
from … here.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
I didn’t know how to explain it to him, but I did the best
any girl who was somehow traveling through time could. I didn’t have answers or
explanations, but I had a gut feeling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“I’m from a different time as you. As you can tell by my
lovely clothing, I’m not from 1893.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
He placed his fingers
on my lips, stopping me, while shaking his head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“This isn’t right, Emmeline. Trickery at a time like this
isn’t fair,” he said as he stood up fast. “I am leaving soon. I shall not have
you doing this to me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
My mouth fell open in shock and I stood. “Do something to <i>you</i>? Listen here, buddy, I didn’t ask
for this. I sat down to read a book and then <i>boom</i>, I’m stuck in England with a stranger.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
I pointed at myself. “Look at me. Do I really look like I
belong here?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
He looked at my clothing and up to my hair, and I could see
his cheeks redden. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“You are dressed very indecent, I suppose. No woman I’ve
ever met wears trousers. Nor do they wear clothing that <i>fitting</i>.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
I laughed. He thought <i>this</i>
was indecent, he should see some of the dresses I had worn to parties. They
were nothing like the dresses he was used to seeing on a woman. We absolutely
didn’t dress ladylike anymore. My sexy little black dress that currently hung
in my closet would definitely shock some of the people of this era for sure. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“I don’t know why I’m here. I’m absolutely not trying to, I
don’t know, hurt you or anything. I don’t know how to go home.” I slumped back
against the tree. “I wish that I could prove to you that I’m not lying to you,
but I cannot. You’ll have to just believe me, I guess.” It was as simple as
that. He could either believe this bat-shit crazy explanation or not. One way
or another, I didn’t care. I just wanted to go home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“I don’t know why, Emmeline, but I feel as if I should say
that I do believe you.” He ran a hand through his thick hair, mussing it up. “I
just don’t know how else to explain your abrupt presence. One minute you are
here and the next you’re disappearing into thin air. I read many books on
fiction, so I <i>suppose</i> it could be
true.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“Well, I may know someone who knows something. She works for
the lucky bastard that owns that house,” I told him pointing to the house where
Nancy was the last time I saw her. She was probably cooking something again for
her master.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
He smiled. “That house?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“Yes. Her name is Nancy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“Ah. Nancy. And who is this Nancy woman you speak of?” He
continued to smile as if this was a joke, but I ignored it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“She’s a cook. I met her on my last visit here,” I
explained. “She’s not the nicest person I’ve ever met, but I think she has some
answers.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
</div>
<div class="CHBBStyle">
“I must argue that Miss Nancy is more than a cook. She’s
also the lady upon with which I trust my household while I’m gone. She’s more
of an aunt than a housekeeper,” he said as he took my hand in his. “It’s very
nice to finally introduce myself to you, Emmeline Bailey. I’m Jack Ridgewell or
you may just call me the lucky bastard.”<o:p></o:p></div>

been torn between two men: Matthew Cruz, the brilliant, well-educated

all a show. Even so, with her being the only one to witness his softer side,
Tandy begins to wonder which persona is truly the act.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sixteen-year-old Echo Navarri, daughter of world-famous archaeologists, Alice and Peter Navarri, had spent her life traveling from one expedition to the next as her parent’s unearthed lost civilizations. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">On their thirteenth dig, Midnight, Echo's twin sister, disappears without a trace. This prompts a year-long search that leaves the family nearly broken. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Nearing the one year anniversary of Midnight's assumed death, Echo is sent to live with her eccentric Aunt Luna who is the caretaker of the centuries old Navarri Estate in Port Royal, Maine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Echo attempts to settle into her new life in Port Royal, but soon finds that she's destined for adventure as the mystery of her family’s history, the sunless town, and it's oddly intriguing people teeter on the supernatural.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleep, little children,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all safe in your beds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when the boogeyman knocks,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you are up watching…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he’ll make sure that you wish you were dead!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once every one hundred and fifty years he emerges from the darkest depths to feed. With each soul he takes, he grows stronger. There is but one gift he needs in order to gain the power he seeks. One gift that will allow him to walk amongst all the precious little children.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it’s the one gift Mattie Hathaway possesses…the ability to bring images to life with just a drop of her blood. The demon Silas has warned her to never reveal this ability, not even to her father who shares her power to communicate with the dead. She’s heeded his warning, but hiding it may no longer be an option.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Children are disappearing all over the Charlotte area. When their bodies are recovered, they are always the same—broken, beaten, and bruised. Fear is spiraling out of control in the Queen City as parents glance nervously around each corner, seeing the boogeyman in every shadow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When one little girl goes missing in Mattie’s neighborhood, it’s up to her and Officer Dan Richards to find the truth. In doing so, she uncovers a far greater evil than she’s ever come up against. The one thing she was bred to defeat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deleriel. A fallen angel…one of the first demons. He is powerful, ambitious, and now that Mattie is on his radar, she’s all he needs to complete his arsenal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amid of whirlwind of secrets coming to light, Mattie is faced with uncovering the truth about her own heritage. She must come to grips with it before she can begin to prepare for the battle of a lifetime…a battle she never asked for but is caught in the middle of. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can she face her own truths before it’s too late?</div>

Well, I'm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tells me to stop watching them, but who doesn't love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.</span></div>

So when you get grounded, what is there left to do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real romance novel. It was a romance titled "Lord Margrave's Deception." I remember it fondly. But I also learned I had a deep and abiding love of mysteries and anything paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that and would entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters.</span></div>

thought she'd seen it all as a small time reporter for a New York Paper, but
after hearing reports of the dead crawling from graves and attacking humans,
she realized the world she once knew would never be the same again. Forced to
flee the city, she heads south where her two best friends Emma and Lou reside
in search of answers. As a drunken joke ten years earlier, the three friends
made a vow that if the world went to hell they’d survive it together, no matter
what. With the pact now a reality, they are forced to face a never ending tidal
wave of the dead, tornadoes, earthquakes, and massive storms with hundreds of
miles to go. Along with their new dog, Snack, the girls get closer to their
destination but no closer to answers as to why their world is filled with such
evil. Will their plan of survival keep them alive or will they drown in the sea
of the dead?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

reading them and is pulled into the first chapter, literally. She finds herself

Ridgewell. With each chapter Emme learns

Reasons Why I Love The Paranormal by L.D. Rose<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Thank
you so much for featuring me on your blog! My name is Linda (writing as L.D.
Rose) and I’m a doctor by day and author of PNR/UF by night. Since I’m a big
fan of everything dark, sexy, and creepy, I figured I’d share my top 10 reasons
why I love the paranormal. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I was accused of being a vampire
in the first grade.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Yep.
That’s right. I went to an all-girls Catholic school for kindergarten and first
grade (my mother yanked me out before second grade for acting out—oops!). My
classmates already thought I was weird since I spoke broken English (my first
language was Portuguese and I didn’t go to preschool; I learned English from
Sesame Street). All of us kids were playing a game of tag at recess and I
tripped on a rock and sliced my finger open. I immediately put my hand in my
mouth to suck the blood away (c’mon, didn’t you do that when you were a kid?!).
The girls freaked out and ran away from me, screaming “vampire.” I guess it
didn’t help that I had a widow’s peak, dark hair and pale skin. I had no idea
what a vampire was, but my feelings were hurt and I cried.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">This
was obviously quite traumatic since the concept of a vampire invaded my brain
and I became obsessed with learning (and writing!) about them. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I grew up in a haunted house.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Yep,
that’s right too! My family was poor growing up and we bounced from apartment
to apartment when I was a toddler. My parents bought a house when I was about

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">This
could be a whole blog post in and of itself but my parents’ little Cape was
over a hundred years old and two ghosts apparently haunted the premises (an
eight year old boy and an elderly woman who died in the upstairs bathroom;
later, my deceased German Shepard made a few ghostly appearances too). I never
actually <i>saw</i> them, but their roaming
footsteps, cold patches, whispers, and little games such as dropping the
blinds, turning off the radio and the occasional “push” made their presences
unmistakably clear. I have no doubt
there’s a ghostly world among us, no matter how much my logical doctor brain
wants to argue it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Thanks
to my vampire accusation, I began to read horror stories—a lot of them! My
absolute favorite books as a kid were the SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK
series by Alvin Schwartz. I couldn’t stop staring at the creepy images and
rereading the melodious yet disturbing passages. My absolute favorite was THE
HEARSE SONG and I used to sing it constantly while jump roping outside like the
freaky little kid I was. As I grew older, I transitioned to R.L. Stine, Clive
Barker, and Stephen King, then it was all downhill from there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Gremlins.
Ghostbusters. Poltergeist. The Exorcist. Friday the 13<sup>th</sup>. Nightmare
on Elm Street. Halloween. Jaws. The Shining. Silence of the Lambs. CLASSICS!
Although the horror movie industry has sorely disappointed me as an adult,
these were my most memorable movies. My parents would let me watch a few of the
more “benign” ones, but I usually snuck out of my room in the middle of the
night (or hit the theaters) to watch the more graphic films.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

horror stories. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Surprise,
surprise! I’ve been writing for as long as I remember. The first actual “story”
<span style="color: #141823;">I wrote was on a typewriter at ten years old. It
was called "The Secret Door", about fifteen pages long, and starred a
haunted house that held a portal to another dimension (no kidding!). My first
ever publication is a short story in an anthology called “Horrors of History”
(Fey Publishing) and it’s about two depression-era gangsters who get more than
they bargained for during a bank heist (two words: zombie cops). I plan to do a
lot more with these two boys in the future, since I loved writing them so much.
Every story I’ve written has a preternatural edge to it—I just can’t help it,
it’s part of who I am.</span><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">I wanted to be a paranormal
investigator. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">As
a teenager, I used to raid abandoned houses (particularly those rumored to be
haunted), trek into the woods after dark in hopes of running into a cult (or at
least see a hanging body), and I played Ouija way too much (I’ve had some interesting
experiences with that demonic game, let me tell you!). I know it sounds crazy
but I <i>loved</i> to be scared; it was a
rush, an addiction even, and my morbid curiosity never ceased to be satisfied.
I never got into the real complex “ghost hunting” with detectors and such, but
I still visit the occasional haunted spot (although my sixth sense has petered
out, unfortunately). My hubby is quite averse to the supernatural world, so now
I tend to explore it through writing and art. That and an occasional episode of
Ghost Hunters. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">The type of music that draws me
in most is rock, metal, and rap of a darker flavor.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">The
darker the lyrics, the better. I’m madly in love with Trent Reznor (he’s my
musical god) and some of my favorites are Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Godsmack,
In This Moment, Disturbed, Staind and Stonesour. DMX is my favorite rapper of
all time because he’s brutal and doesn’t hold anything back in his music.
There’s something exhilarating about expressing one’s fears and discussing
subjects most people are uncomfortable with through music (or any art in
general). I try to do the same with writing and give it the realism it
deserves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">So,
do you think I’m a total weirdo yet? P Although my running tends to be on the
street and residential neighborhoods as of late, I used to run through
cemeteries all the time in college. I loved the silence and isolation—no
people, no cars, just me, the trees, and the graves. My favorite used to be Oak
Grove Cemetery in MA, where the infamous Lizzie Borden is buried. Many of them
were hilly too, which made for a great workout.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Amongst
other things, of course, but having a thick skin and a gut of steel helps. I’m
going to let you in on a little secret: being a doctor is terrifying. You end
up in situations so crazy you can’t even imagine and you must act quickly. There’s
no staring or jaw dropping or sudden paralysis. A career that starts out by
asking you to take apart a human body requires some serious nerve…and that’s
only the beginning! Not to mention you need to soothe the fears of others and
understand them. Needles, scalpels, blood and gore is no biggie to me, but my
hubby will drop like a bomb at the sight of his own blood or an uncapped
syringe. Being able to resist passing out is a major plus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Yes,
I love writing horror, but I also love writing about <i>love</i>. The books I’m most invested in involve a romantic
relationship with a ton of conflict (usually of the frightening variety) and
after much chaos and destruction, the hero and heroine have their well-deserved
HEA. Dark paranormal romance and urban fantasy became my favorite genres to
read…and write! I strive to put my readers through the same rollercoaster of
emotions the characters experience—terror, lust, anger, sadness, relief, and of
course, happiness. I think both fear and love bring out the best and worst in
us, and I try to depict those ups and downs in my work. Now that my </span><b><span style="color: red; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">1 </span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">debut novel is out in the world, I hope it’ll be

Her psychic abilities could lead to significant scientific discoveries, if only she’d let TechRA study her. But ten years ago, the scientists kidnapped and experimented on her, leading to severe ramifications for her sister, Callie. She’d much rather break into their labs and sabotage their research—starting with Tanner Callahan, budding scientist and the boy she loathes most at school.</span></div>

He’s not the arrogant jerk she thought he was. And his research opens the door to the possibility that Jessa can rectify a fatal mistake made ten years earlier. She’ll do anything to change the past and save her sister—even if it means teaming up with the enemy she swore to defeat.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
I get asked these questions a lot. I hope that by doing this blog post I can then answer some for you. Here we go:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <b>How did you become an author?</b><br />
This is the most frequent question I'm asked. I don't tire of this question, but my route of becoming an author may differ from yours or other authors.<br />
I started dabbling with writing as a young age, like twelve, but I was first published in 2010 by a horrible publishing group, who stole my money. I won't say names, but I will say, don't be like me. Do your research before you sign a contract.<br />
I went with a small press, Anchor Group, after my issues with the old one and I have been with them ever since. The way I found Anchor Group was by fate. I was incredibly lucky and they have helped me along the way.<br />
If you want to become an author I suggest these three things;<br />
1.Write your book and write it well.<br />
2. Research which way you would like to publish. There are many options out there; self-publishing, small press, agent, large press and more.<br />
3. Assemble a great team of beta readers, friends, and supporters because you will need them to get through.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <b>Where do you get your inspirations and ideas from?</b><br />
<br />
Some of my books come to me when I'm showering, or even driving. I can get inspirations from all over. Music helps me get into the writing mood and it helps my ideas flow. Art can be helpful as well. I find that doing something peaceful helps bring out the creativity in me. That differs for everyone, though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3.<b> Why do you only write YA?</b><br />
I actually don't just write Young Adult. My first book series, The Past Lives Series, is an Adult series but many people don't realize that.<br />
My other books are all Young Adult and I guess I write that genre because it's what I resonate with. I think that I can relate to teen fiction because I feel inspired by the young mind. They can go through so much in their teen existence and they are able to grow as people easier.<br />
I read mostly Young Adult, too, so I'm attracted to it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. <b>Will you read my book?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I have always been a huge supporter of other authors. I share their work, I follow their pages, and I try to lend advice whenever I can. I also purchase eBooks if they're on Nook. But I can't promise I will be able to read your book and review it.<br />
Not only am I writing my own book and reading from my huge pile of TBR's but I'm a mom and I have a job. Needless to say I'm not the one to ask to read and review; it will take me forever.<br />

<br />
5. <b>Will you write about my life?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>I've gotten this question three times. My answer is simple; No.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. <b>You must make a whole lot of money, why don't you quit your job? Can't you just write full time?</b><br />
<br />
"Sure!Why didn't I think of that?"<br />
Trust me, if I could quit my job to write full-time, I would. Authors do not make a lot of money. Some authors make no money. And then comes the question, "Then why do you bother?"<br />
Because I want to, that's why.<br />
The simple truth is that this is a flooded market with books being released every day. If you want to be rich, do not become an author. If you are creative and you have a story to tell, but you aren't looking to make a ton of money, then by all means write.<br />
That doesn't mean we don't make money. Some authors do really well.<br />
I am not one of those authors. When I release a new book, I have to spend money to make money.<br />
Being a writer isn't just writing and then you're done; you have to promote your work. How will anyone buy your book if they can't see it?<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7.<b> Can you send me a free copy of your book?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I hate this question. I think this question offends all authors. It goes along well with #6.<br />
Do you work for free or do you expect to get paid for your job? I'm pretty sure it's the latter, right?<br />
You do a job and you collect a paycheck. Well, it's not rocket science, here. I wrote a book, and if you want to read it, you'll purchase it. I won't just send you one because you really want it. Sorry.<br />
<br />
8. <b>Will you host a giveaway of your book? I really want to win it and I don't have any money.</b><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="giphy-embed" frameborder="0" height="463" src="//giphy.com/embed/5WS7UB0eYrsEU?html5=true" width="480"></iframe><a href="http://giphy.com/gifs/5WS7UB0eYrsEU">via GIPHY</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, no. I won't<br />
<br />
<br />
9. <b>When will you write ____________?</b><br />
<br />
I totally understand I have kept you waiting a long time for certain books. I can't just write when I am stuck and certain ideas have me stuck. Trust me.<br />
If my muse doesn't come to me, I can't write. It's frustrating as hell.<br />
I will get to it, eventually.<br />

She's definitely wowed me with her other series and this next one, Titans, seems to be right up my alley.</i></b><br />
<i><b>Scott has a vivid imagination when writing that always seems to draw me in at the very beginning. I've been a fan of hers ever since I read her Dante Walker novels. </b></i><br />
<i><b>Here is the blurb of Titans;</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Ever since the Titans appeared in her Detroit neighborhood, Astrid Sullivan's world has revolved around the mechanical horses. It's not just the thrill of the race. It's the engineering of the horses themselves and the way they're programmed to seem so lifelike. The Titans are everything that fascinates Astrid, and nothing she'll ever touch.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">She hates them a little, too. Her dad lost everything betting on the Titans. And the races are a reminder of the gap between the rich jockeys who can afford the expensive machines and the working class friends and neighbors of Astrid's who wager on them.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">But when Astrid's offered a chance to enter an early model Titan in this year's derby, well, she decides to risk it all. Because for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, it's more than a chance at fame or money. Betting on herself is the only way she can see to hang on to everyone in the world she cares about.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span>

I stumbled across Goodreads one late night and my addiction to books only got worse. I found myself adding more books to my TBR shelf than I could possibly read in one year.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="giphy-embed" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//giphy.com/embed/l41lRBii3ikkU8UKY" width="480"></iframe><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/sidechat-books-nerd-polandbananasbooks-l41lRBii3ikkU8UKY">via GIPHY</a><br />
I discovered the authors that I came to know and love and also got some information that helped me become an author.<br />
The beginning of my Goodreads relationship was fabulous. I was happy and elated to go on and review books; to keep track of my reading goal. Thinking that someday when my daughters were old enough, I'd start their own account so they too could feel this satisfaction. Reaching the reading goal and feeling proud of yourself was something to share.<br />
Then I became an author in 2005<br />
That's when things went south.<br />
Trolls began to hover over my books and leave rude nasty comments and reviews in which I was told to never, ever respond to. No matter how hurtful or how rude. "Don't fall into the trap. Don't be <i>that</i> author."<br />
So I listened. I never responded even if they were bashing me personally without ever knowing me that way. Hurting my very soul because they hated, and I mean hated, a book I poured a bit of myself into.<br />
Do you know how hard it is to not stick up for yourself? To always be put down but not be able to fire back. It's like the school bully beating you up and you are not allowed to ever hit back.<br />
Because, God forbid I do, my career could end.<br />
So I found myself staying off Goodreads. Rarely going on to leave reviews for the books I've read; which used to be something I adored. Not finding out about the new releases by my favorite authors or able to join in conversations.<br />
My relationship to Goodreads had officially become awful.<br />
Reading the reviews of my own books was like watching a scary movie where you go into it covering your eyes, but wanting to see how terrible it really was.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="giphy-embed" frameborder="0" height="267" src="//giphy.com/embed/l41lJQLdSdoezQ1I4" width="480"></iframe><a href="http://giphy.com/gifs/rhoc-heather-dubrow-i-cant-look-l41lJQLdSdoezQ1I4">via GIPHY</a><br />
You can't help but look, but cringe when you see the massacre on the screen. There were the few good even great reviews that kept me coming back. I needed to read those to keep up the morale.<br />
But then you scroll just a little too far and see that one star or two star review that has nothing to do at all with your book, because they haven't even read it, but they felt like bashing the 'idea' of your book.<br />
<br />
Are you for serious? Like really?<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="giphy-embed" frameborder="0" height="270" src="//giphy.com/embed/26tOXN8rltzRWOh8s" width="480"></iframe><a href="http://giphy.com/gifs/awkward-miss-universe-philippines-26tOXN8rltzRWOh8s">via GIPHY</a><br />
Who let's this go on?<br />
Obviously Goodreads doesn't care that the authors are getting these reviews. They couldn't care less, because they have other things to do or to worry about. But I bet if I responded to a review, they'd care. Right?<br />
So I decided that it was time to end this once and for all and break up with Goodreads. I do not go on anymore other than to add my book. I don't read reviews; not even the good ones.<br />
I took the GR app off of my phone. And I no longer review my favorite authors books, which is such a shame. I don't update my status of my current read, which sucks royally because I can't remember what I read this year. I don't add videos or chat in the groups that I used to.<br />
But you know what? I survived. I feel better without all the bullying and the harshness of GR. I know who my true fans are and that if they loved my book, they'll tell me and that keeps me going. I do not need to read the reviews anymore.<br />
And as for letting my kids add an account, it's not happening. Not ever. GR has become as dangerous as any other social media site in my opinion. And if they want to talk books, they can do that at home or school.<br />
As for Goodreads and my future with them...I have only two words;<br />
Bye Felcia!<br />

I hit International best seller on Amazon within a day, which solidified the books standing in the fantasy genre. I wrote the book I had been always meaning to write. The ONE. Yet, it still wasn't the one to put me on the map.<br />
But that was okay with me. I was content and happy to have the following I have.<br />
Awaken ended the duology and I brushed off my keyboard a happy writer after hitting best seller in the US.<br />
Was I on the map? Sort of, but not in the way I wanted.<br />
I sat back recently and looked at my life as a mom, writer, wife and person. Was I happy?<br />
Did I have to be on the map?<br />
The answer to both was; no.<br />
I wasn't happy that I obsessed with being a famous or semi-famous author. Why did I have to be that anyway? That's not what writing was about for me. I had seemed to lose what I really wanted when I set out to be an author. I was losing touch with the 'reason for writing books'.<br />
I saw friends who started out at the same time as me and they were doing really well; better than me. I was making a competition out of it and that's not what I want.<br />
Why did I find the need to be famous all of a sudden?<br />
Because eventually you want to hit that goal of yours. My goal was to someday hit NYT best seller. But it may never happen.<br />
It still could, but what if it didn't?<br />
So I made the decision to take a little break. I want to find that spark that I had when I wrote Who We Were. The one that had me wanting to write good books not because of the fame or because I wanted to be on the map, but because I wanted to write books for readers to enjoy.<br />
I'm currently taking that break and I'm not really writing much.<br />
The stress is lessening and the happiness is returning. I'm a better mom because I'm on the computer less. I'm a better wife because I'm not constantly on the computer at night.<br />
I do not want to push myself to write this next book. It won't be good if I do that. I don't want to write crap just because I feel the need to write a book that comes out in the Spring.<br />
I want to write a book from my soul like I did with Slumber and Awaken and even Who We Were.<br />
I love those three books but I can honestly tell you if I write a book now, it won't be as good.<br />
My soul won't be in it.<br />
Is it safe for an author to take a break? I don't know.<br />
Am I worried fans will forget about me? Yes.<br />
But is that all that matters? No.<br />
When you become a writer your fans are your lifeline to the book world and making them happy is important but in life, that's not all that matters. Life is short and precious and I've seen good people leave too early. I want to make my mark on this planet for the short time I'm here, but I refuse to sit back and watch from the sidelines. I want to be out there living.<br />
So until next time, read on, live best, and love more.<br />
xoxo<br />

<br />
<b> Welcome to the second book taking place on Dasia Island! In these six short stories by bestselling and award winning authors, passion ignites between people from all walks of life, with stories ranging from romantic comedies to paranormal love stories. </b><br />
<b> The Stories</b>:<br />
<br />
<br /><i> Gold Digger by Elise Marion</i>: A hardworking man, Derek Brown has always dreamt of owning his own business someday. Now that his goal is nearly within his reach, the last thing he needs are complications. Yet, one very beautiful distraction named Chantel Green will prove too hard to resist. On the surface, she seems like a shallow gold digger, milking her rich boyfriends for cash and material things. Yet, when he delves deeper, Derek will discover than Chantel is not at all what she seems. Even so, their differences might be too great to overcome. That doesn’t stop Derek from hoping he can convince Chantel to abandon her superficial lifestyle for something real—a life that just so happens to include him. <br />
<br />
<br />
<i> Walk of Shame by Casse NaRome</i>: Fokai enjoys the simple life. He works hard to take care of his younger sisters, and that's all he wants. Until Stephany Larks struts into his life. <br /> Stephany is an overworked model from New York who's looking forward to unwinding before her new modeling agency opens. The last thing she expected was to meet Fokai and fall for his native charm. <br /> Stephany can bring the right amount of chaos into Fokai's life . . . unless he blows it first. <br />
The List byC.E. Kilgore: Samantha hasn’t had much luck when it comes to love. Of course, she’s never had much luck, period. Known as the Queen of Catastrophe, introverted Sam thinks her luck might be changing when she wins an all-expenses paid trip to Dasia Island. With a crazy to-do list written by her best friend Jack, Sam sets off on her first real adventure in years. After a stuttering start involving food-poisoning and a run-in with a very large spider, she meets Jason, the guy of her dreams made real. As the list gets checked off, item by item, Sam wonders if Jason can help her check off item twenty-two, which involves surf, sand and someplace secluded. <br />
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> In Perfect Harmony by Carly Fall</i>: Lyrik Perry, head of the band Moonlit Road, is ready for a vacation after the band’s year-long tour comes to an end. Wanting to get away from the temptations of drugs, sex and rock n’ roll all around him, he remembers a time five years ago when he’d truly been happy—on Dasia Island—and decides to go back, hoping he’ll find the woman he left behind, but never forgot. <br /> Harmony Ryland has suffered a debilitating loss. After overcoming her shock of Lyrik stepping back into her life, they share the memories and laughter of their past. <br /> As one of Dasia’s mysterious legends comes true, it helps Harmony move on. Yet, a phone call forces Lyrik to make a decision: does he give up his band, or Harmony? <br />
<br />
<br />
<i> The Crossroads of Broken Dreams by Zee Monodee</i>: Dr. Owen Cairns has loved and lost--until the day the sea washes his missing wife back into his life. <br /> But Thea is no human. She is Princess Estee, the future queen of the Elemental world of Edoras, and only here on Earth to bring her children back with her to inherit her legacy. <br /> Evil is coming to all the planes of Earth, and war is brewing. There's no place in Estee's life for Owen. But Fate has other plans when he tears through the rift to follow her to Edoras. Can they pick up the pieces of a marriage doomed from the start? <br />
<br />
<br />
<i> Finding Her King by Natalie G. Owens</i>: For otherworldly King Koras, death is only the beginning. <br /> Nerissa Morgan was once queen of the noble Elemental kingdom of Edoras but all she wants is to blend into the earthly plane she now inhabits. When the ocean brings her the greatest gift of all one sultry evening on Dasia Island, the experience is bittersweet. <br /> The greatest challenge of all faces the former royals. Will Koras and Nerissa regain the love they shared before death tore them apart?<br />

Awaken is the follow up to Slumber. This character has been plotted out for months but I needed to know <i>who</i> she really was. So what better way than to hold a contest letting one my fans become <i>her</i>.<br />
There were only eight entries but I'm glad people entered.<br />
The rules were simple; take a selfie of you and Slumber, tell me a quick review and also who you think the character would be. And they HAD to have been emailed to me in order for me to keep track of entries.<br />
I've assigned numbers to the names and then put these numbers into Random.org so that the winner was chosen randomly.<br />
<br />
1.Katy<br />
2.Annie<br />
3.Melissa<br />
4.Heather<br />
5.Jessica<br />
6.Shelly<br />
7.Michelle<br />
8.Madison<br />

The character that Shelly will portray is a healer fairy from a neighboring village called Stirling. She plays a very intricate role in the saving of Rory's love interest, Sawyer.<br />
I will have more information on this character late because I don't want to give away too much for those who haven't read the first book.<br />
Thank you to all of you who entered!<br />
