I'm happy to reveal the cover for my critique partner, JW Troemner's wonderful new novel, <em>Mark of the Dragon</em> (Urban Dragon, Book 1). This is one of my favorite stories of all time. Of course, I'm a bit biased. But come on? Who wouldn't love to have a spunky, ass-kicking dragon for a best friend? <br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Book Description</strong>: </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">Morgan Wright has just been dumped
by the biggest jerk in the world. All she wants to do is sulk in bed while
devouring all the ice cream on campus, but her friend has a different plan to
cheer her up—break into a secret all-boys university. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">According to rumor, the school
trains sorcerers who are crazy good in bed. Even though Morgan’s never had an
orgasm, she’s not interested in anything more than an adventure. But when
cape-wearing guard, Edric stops them at the wall, Morgan finds herself drawn in
by his syrupy sweet smell. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">There’s only one small problem, the
sorcerers at this school take their vow of celibacy seriously. But Morgan can’t
stay away, and as Edric tests the limits of his vow, magic-fueled orgasms may
change everything. </span><br />

</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">His grip tightens
and he lifts me off the ground. He’s literally holding me up by my upper arms.
Now I’m scared. I let out a little squeak. My breath comes in rapid pants. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’m going to
carry you out of here.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I nod, shivering
in his grasp. I’d agree to walk, but I don’t really want him to let go of me.
Part of me likes that he’s probably leaving bruises on my arms. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">His nostrils flare
again. “And stop breathing,” he commands.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I’m pretty sure I
can’t do that.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He starts to walk
and I’m still dangling. He’s about ten inches taller than me and easily carries
my 120lbs. His quads flex under the lightweight pants he has on. I’m inches
from his face, but I can’t look into his eyes. Both of us are focusing off to the
side, like I’m an offending bit of debris that must be tossed back into the
woods. I lean forward, gulping down the cinnamon flavored air. If he would only
pull me closer to his body I could nibble his neck. I strain against his grip,
but he holds me completely immobile. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He licks his lips.
His boot catches on a branch and he stumbles. Without thinking, I wrap my legs
tightly around his waist. The sudden pressure the seam of my pants provides
against my crotch is a relief. He grunts as he fights for balance and one hand
leaves my shoulder to grab my ass before we topple over. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He’s glaring at
me. With his hand on my ass. I try to keep from smiling but fail when his scowl
intensifies. His fingers flex once and I know he’s about to drop me. The moment
drags out. I shift my gaze up to the moon in an innocent expression, but the
space between us is throbbing. My pulse has relocated itself to my clit and
every orgasm that I never had is waiting to burst out of me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Get off of me,”
he says as he removes his hand. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Okay.” In one
fast motion, I lick the side of his neck and untangle my legs. I drop to the
ground in front of him. My tongue literally tingles with the flavor of his
skin. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He stares down at
me. “Why did you do that?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I had to know.”
We’re close to the woods now. Almost out of sight. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He stares at my
lips. Does he want permission because I’ve been fairly clear that I want him?
He’s the one protesting, but we’re away from the school now. His hand is
visibly trembling. I step further under the tree cover. Shadows fall across his
face making him more mysterious. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“What did I taste
like to you?” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I exhale slowly. I
feel like if I don’t pace my breathing I’m going to pass right out. “Like
cinnamon syrup. Did you eat pancakes earlier?” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He chuckles and
stares at my lips again. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“You can, if you
want to . . . kiss me that is,” I offer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He looks back
toward the wall, but there’s no one there. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Or if you just
want a taste, you can lick me too.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">He sucks air in
through his teeth in a hissing gasp. “If it wasn’t for your smell, I’d be
convinced you were another test. But no one can fake this.” He leans into me
and I go perfectly still. His tongue flicks out and draws a soft wet line down
the opening of my shirt. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">We both moan
simultaneously. A million nerve endings I didn’t know existed flare to life. My
nipples go crystal hard and jut out from my shirt. Do that again. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I shouldn’t have
done that.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Hmmm, that was
not what I was thinking at all. Why don’t you take me back to your dorm room?” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Mostly because if
you tried to cross the boundary you’d be fried to a crisp.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">I choke and cough.
“What?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Don’t mess around
with Bronson’s School. Promise me, you and your friend won’t try to get in
again. I’m not joking. The wall will set you on fire if you try to cross it.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">“I promise,” I
lie. Because I will do whatever it takes to get to him if he crosses that wall.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm late posting. It's been crazy a crazy week filled with unexpected chaos. Including my internet going down this morning. So, I'm sure you can appreciate the fact that all I want to do right now is read. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Do you know what the best thing about this week has been? Talon. Sybil Bartel really knows her alpha heroes. OMG, is he protective. He's the kind of man you want in an emergency. I haven't finished the book yet. That's actually what I'm doing right now. So if you had a crazy week and need to escape, I think Talon might keep your mind off the chaos of real life.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />AUTHOR BIO:<br /><br />Sybil Bartel grew up in Northern California with her head in a book and her feet in the sand. She dreamt of becoming a painter but the heady scent of libraries with their shelves full of books drew her into the world of storytelling. She loves the New Adult genre, but any story about a love so desperately wrong and impossibly beautiful makes her swoon.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Sybil now resides in Southern Florida and while she doesn’t get to read as much as she likes, she still buries her toes in the sand. If she isn’t writing or fighting to contain the banana plantation in her backyard, you can find her spending time with her handsomely tattooed husband, her brilliantly practical son and a mischievous miniature boxer…</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />But Seriously?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Here are ten things you probably really want to know about Sybil.<br /> She grew up a faculty brat. She can swear like a sailor. She loves men in uniform. She hates being told what to do. She can do your taxes (but don’t ask). The Bird Market in Hong Kong freaks her out. Her favorite word is desperate…or dirty, or both—she can’t decide. She has a thing for muscle cars. But never reply on her for driving directions, ever. And she has a new book boyfriend every week—don’t tell her husband.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />To find out more about Sybil Bartel, be sure to follow her on Twitter (she loves to hear about your favorite book boyfriend!), visit her website, like her on Facebook or join her Facebook group Book Boyfriend Heroes for exclusive excerpts and giveaways.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's the release day for DARK CONFESSIONS. My action-packed novella is the latest installment in the Dark Paradise series. This novella begins where DARK EMBRACE ended, but can be read as a standalone. It features two of my favorite characters from the previous novels, Bessie Caine and Ferdinand Lafitte.</span> <br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Both of these characters got under my skin, and I realized that I had to write their story. They have a lot of secrets between them. If they want a shot at having a relationship, they need to be brave enough to confess their sins and learn to forgive perceived betrayals. </span><br />

<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">For Sheriff's Deputy Elizabeth Caine, seeing is believing. But in the past few months, she's witnessed an otherworldly realm of ancient magic and ghostly spirits that defies explanation.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Ferdinand Lafitte can't tell Bess the truth about his feelings for her, not while a powerful spell binds him. But he can guide her through the lush bayou in search of Mala LaCroix, whose fate means as much to him as it does to Bess.

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><em>Excerpt: </em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><em><br /></em></strong>“Does that include working with me?” Ferdinand asks.<br /><br />With a gasp, I turn. He lounges against the doorframe, and I’m caught in his trap again, mesmerized by sheer perfection. He reminds me of a priceless Egyptian statue, painstakingly carved from ebony by a master craftsman. A real piece of work, this man. More beautiful than anything I saw in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and more cunning than a grifter running a long con.<br /><br />I blink to dispel the haze clouding my eyes. “I don’t like the idea, but it seems I don’t have a choice.”<br /><br />Ferdinand shakes his head. “You have free will. It’s a gift, which shouldn’t be taken for granted.”<br /><br />I refrain from snorting. It’s not at all lady-like. “Well, if I did, then I’d still have you in handcuffs.”<br /><br /> Ferdinand’s dark eyebrows rise. “Is that so?” His gaze travels leisurely down my body, leaving a trail of heat that pools between my thighs. “Your wish is my command, Chérie doux.” His accent thickens. “Any time. All I require is for you to say the magic word. Merci.”<br /><br /> My breath catches. It feels like I’ve got a stray piece of apple pie lodged in my throat, and no matter how much I swallow, I can’t clear the block. “I need some water,” I choke out, eyeing the door. <em>Why won’t he move?</em><br /> “I’ll go with you.” He turns sideways, waving his arm for me to precede him. As if I want him hovering behind where I can’t see his hands.<em> Oh God. I don’t know how much more of this I can take. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Five quick steps take me to the door. My skin puckers as I brush past him. Every inch of me feels jittery, on edge, like I’m about to leap out of my skin. His long fingers skim the small of my back beneath the edge of my bulletproof vest, and a spark arcs between us. The resulting burst of liquid heat causes my overly sensitive nerves to tingle. My bound breasts ache from being confined.<br /><br /> The bathroom is only a few paces away, but I can’t reach it fast enough. Ferdinand almost walks on my heels. He’s so close that the space between our bodies hums with electricity. Does he plan on waiting for me to come out? That won’t do.<br /><br />I throw open the door to the single stall bathroom and flip on the light. Ferdinand rocks forward on his toes, head close to brushing the top of the doorframe. My hand whips out, and I grab the waistband of his jeans and yank him into the room. The door slams shut behind us.<br /><br /> Confusion and hunger war within his dark eyes. The heady combination threatens to bring me to my knees. His long eyelashes fan down, then up. “Lieutenant Caine?”<br /><br />“Shut up. Not another word.” I thumb the door lock. Neither of us can escape now. “I can’t…not one more second.”<br /><br /> His hand lifts, but I wrap my fingers around his wrist and shove it down. “Don’t touch me.” I can’t take it anymore. So why be miserable and keep fighting?<br /><br /> Rising onto my tiptoes, I grab his collar and drag him toward me. His lips part. Perfect. My mouth slams against his—hard and rough. I steal his kiss. The one owed to me. He’s been taunting me with the possibility for hours—holding this moment over my head while playing on my emotions. No more. It’s my reward for being so damn patient. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><em>Unemployed. Broke. Maid of Honor.<br /><br /> All (unfortunately) words that describe Em Hayes.</em>Without any job leads in San Francisco, Em caves to her mother’s promise of free rent and returns home. Her best friend, Nikki, couldn’t be more thrilled. Em’s degree in Event Management is gathering dust, and what better way to put it to use than planning Nikki’s wedding?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There’s just one flaw in that plan: Cole Connors. The girls’ former roommate. And part of the reason Em hasn’t been back since college graduation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Em’s never been able to forget Cole—or how close they were before she pushed him aside and ran for the hills. Cole’s never forgotten Em either— but in the past two years, she hasn’t given him much choice but to try.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And, according to Nikki, there’s no better pair to plan the wedding of her dreams.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Em’s usually good at squashing messy feelings, but being around Cole again brings them all rushing to the surface.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And this time, she’s not sure she wants to run.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today's the day for a <strong>dual </strong>cover reveal: <strong>OF SCIONS AND MEN by Courtney Sloan</strong> and <strong>GYRE by Jessica Gunn</strong>! Both books are in the New Adult category and are being published by <a href="https://curiosityquills.com/">Curiosity Quills Press</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's a bit about each book:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>OF SCIONS AND MEN by Courtney Sloan (February 22nd, 2016)</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Geopolitical babysitting while arresting preternatural killers, it’s just the daily grind for Scion Rowan Brady. Brash and sarcastic, Rowan has sold her life, her career and her very blood to the controlling paranormal ruling class of America, all to make sure her kid brother can eat. Now she uses her powers as a scion to kick the ass of any preternatural creature idiotic enough to break the rules and prey upon humanity without a license. All it costs her is her freedom and a pint or two per week to her new Master.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
But juggling her job and duties becomes even tougher when she is tasked with keeping a contingency of diplomats from Canada from getting gnawed on. However, negotiations for an International Blood Exchange are interrupted when bodies start showing up.
Now Rowan must rely on her talent and wit to defend the society she despises to save the lives she’s sworn to protect. But as she stumbles into the truth, she chances becoming a target of not only these killers, but of her own government. With shifters, ghosts, vampires and psychics all watching her, can she stop the killings before she is silenced?

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>GYRE by Jessica Gunn (February 1st, 2016)</strong></span></div>
Trevor couldn’t believe his eyes when Chelsea teleported onto SeaSatellite5. The miracle is Trevor’s absolute worst nightmare. Chelsea is Atlantean, which would be fine if Trevor’s family weren’t Lemurian—enemies of Atlantis.
Then SeaSatellite5 uncovers Atlantean ruins and stumbles into the crosshairs of an ancient war. The Lemurians want the artifacts inside the ruins, and Trevor’s the only one onboard who recognizes the relics for what they really are: Link Pieces, tools used by ancient civilizations to wage their time-travel war.
Chelsea and Trevor must brave the gyre of lies surrounding them. If they can’t, Atlantis will be destroyed forever.

<a href="http://www.jessicagunn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Courtney-Sloan.jpg"><img alt="Courtney Sloan" class="wp-image-1452 alignleft" src="http://www.jessicagunn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Courtney-Sloan.jpg" height="284" width="190" /></a>A New Orleans native, Courtney Sloan relocated to the hills of Central Maryland after Hurricane Katrina. There she lives with her husband and fellow author, J.P. Sloan, their son and their crazy German Shepherd pup. Adding to her writing life, Courtney is also a professor at the local college and enjoys learning a world of new ideas from her students as she teaches them about writing and communicating. Courtney’s New Orleans upbringing has left her with a love for the macabre and a flare for the next to normal. She writes speculative fiction with a variety of horror and sass mixed in for flavor.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

She loves taking the world of politics that haunts us now, and adding the supernatural to create a gumbo of thrills to keep you up at night. A self-proclaimed lover of way too many fandoms, Courtney also loves crafting. From blankets to jams to stories, it’s always better homemade.

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mason Burroughs is an actor on the verge of
giving up after being turned away at audition after audition. But his life
changes when he bumps into Kevin Caldwell, an old crush from acting school.
Kevin helps Mason land a role that could make him the next Broadway star.
However, as rehearsals begin, Mason learns that there’s a lot more drama than
just what’s on stage. With a personal trainer claiming he can mold his body to
resemble a Greek statue, an underhanded understudy waiting in the wings to
replace him, a megalomaniacal director, and Kevin hellbent on breaking up Mason
and his boyfriend, Mason must choose how much he is willing to sacrifice to
make his Broadway dream a reality.</span></div>

<div class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.56px;">

<div class="p1" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.56px;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Shortly
after the combat, Ramiro made his excuses to the men at the wall and left,
returning to the citadel and taking the stairs to the roof. Some <i>alcalde’s</i> wife from the past had turned
this spot into an outdoor garden and dining room, making it a favorite retreat
for many. A peaceful place when he felt anything but. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Other
people’s blood spotted his white shirt. Had things gone differently, it could
easily have been his own. He needed a bath and a rest, but his mind hummed from
the conflict, leaving him unable to stop pacing. Cold chills claimed his limbs.
His stomach was sourer than when alcohol had filled it. With no clear single-combat
victory, he hadn’t earned his beard. The night reeked of disappointment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">How
long? How long could they keep the Northerners out?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Stars
spotted the night sky here, where the citadel met the top of the world. Or so
it had always seemed to him as a child. Life was no longer so certain now that
he was older.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
drew in the cool scent of creeping jasmine, carefully tended and watered by
hand in pots across the rooftop. Colina Hermosa spread before him, a humbling
sight. The city stretched away from the citadel on all sides, a jewel shining
with lights. It spread down the hill, becoming wider and grander as it
sprawled, with imposing avenues and white-clad stucco buildings whose thick
walls and small windows kept out the noonday heat. There was squalor and dirt
as well, fits of temper, rudeness, and often impatience. But the darkness hid
all that, washing the city of its faults and giving it a fresh life until it
tumbled like the sea against the immovable stone walls that now held out the
Northerners.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">His
heart swelled with love. Something worth defending. Home. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Outside
the high, white walls, well beyond arrow shot, was a sight not so welcoming.
There, jammed between the city and a deep, old quarry used to build the city
walls, campfires burned. A red swarm of rage and death, brimstone and smoke,
offering a grim contrast with the peaceful firmament. Not by the hundreds did
they burn, but by the thousands, mirroring the stars in the sky. How many
peasants’ houses did they demolish to feed so much hungry fire? They must be
down to burning cacti. How they kept it up night after night, he couldn’t begin
to comprehend. <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Salvador</st1:place></st1:city>
had talked on about supply trains and quartermasters, but Ramiro had let his
imagination dwell on his first ride instead. An indulgence he regretted now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">If
only each fire meant a single enemy, but that was wishful thinking. Each fire
contained tens of men. Tens and thousands. And behind them, the siege machines
waited their turn. A lethal combination for Colina Hermosa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">He
touched the spot above his spleen, and whispered, “Santiago, don’t let me give in
to despair.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Redmerski, <em>New York Times</em></span></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"> bestselling author<br /><br /><strong>Reader favorite Angie Sandro returns to the South with a bewitching paranormal New Adult romance perfect for fans of Jennifer Armentrout's<em> Wicked </em>and Cora Carmack's <em>Inspire </em>. . . </strong></span><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Rescued from the brink of death by her cousin Mala, Dena Acker returns to the land of the living with a terrifying gift. Still connected to the darkness that almost claimed her, she can tell when someone's about to die--but there's nothing she can do to save them. Desperate to rid herself of this cursed ability, Dena has only one chance at peace . . . and two very different men willing to rescue her.<br /><br />For centuries, Ashmael has seen more souls than he can count but he's never been drawn to anyone the way he is to fragile, beautiful Dena. She fills the dark void of his days with light, and he would sacrifice anything - even his immortality - to cross over to her world and ease her suffering. But he can't afford to be discovered by police detective Michael Anders, who is investigating the deaths that surround Dena. While Michael fights his growing attraction to her, the evidence still points to Dena as the killer. Both men have the ability to save Dena from her horrible fate, but which one can she trust with her darkest secrets?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When we last left off, Mom and I had just escaped the Salt Flat People. After a good night of rest (three hours) we headed across the street to this lovely Flying J gas station. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eNTMdbSYGNLeazP-1n0mxIoPG2PJ04VZ1xo3-jGHg8s-SYzDwPA2cUhiulQeDuX2TlBpoNSj3_lpNNK0lbbV9sP4206Zv-tfM86xz1RrQOJPvzXFBvJfhirKV5Ua1RN64K_hiTIr8fi8/s1600/20150703_081253_resized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eNTMdbSYGNLeazP-1n0mxIoPG2PJ04VZ1xo3-jGHg8s-SYzDwPA2cUhiulQeDuX2TlBpoNSj3_lpNNK0lbbV9sP4206Zv-tfM86xz1RrQOJPvzXFBvJfhirKV5Ua1RN64K_hiTIr8fi8/s640/20150703_081253_resized.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After we gased up for our trip and grabbed snacks, we're ready to hit the road again. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Only Mom's jeep wouldn't start. The battery was DEAD. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And Mom's jumper cables were at the bottom of a pile of boxes in the back of her jeep. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's at times like these when you realize how nice people can be. We got a lot of help. One man told us it was the alternator. He offered to call a tow truck for us. Another man thought the battery cables had loosened during the drive. Turned out, he was right. Only we didn't know it at the time. He tightened the cable for us. Unfortunately, the battery still died right afterwards, leading us to believe it really was the alternator. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom called USAA road service, and they dispatched a tow truck. Meanwhile, we left the jeep connected to the Uhaul and charged it up while we waited. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">By the time the tow truck driver arrived an hour later, the battery was already fully charged. YAY!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> He checked it over for us. Everything was okay! He then gave us the go ahead. Thank goodness this didn't happen in the middle of the desert. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This side bar stole most of the morning. We didn't make it to Las Vegas as planned. Shoot, we didn't even try. We got really close and found a hotel at 4 p.m. We woke up at 1 a.m. and hit the road by 3 a.m. Las Vegas came and went at six a.m. The sun was just coming up, so the town was still lit up. Traffic was minimal. We crossed the Valley of Fire before it got hot enough to burn. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I discovered this gem at a little gas station in the Mojave National Preserve. It's actually animated, but my video wouldn't load. I'll post it on my Facebook page, if you want to watch it. I got a snort laugh from it (totally audible on the video, too.)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Next stop, San Diego, where I lost my mom on I-15. I pulled off onto the I-215, but I didn't notice she wasn't behind me. We ended up making the last hour of the drive solo. But we made it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Little did I know that this rest stop was the last moment of peace we'd have for a long time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once we hit the mountains outside of Salt Lake City, it felt like we were driving in a speed race. We had to be going over 80 miles an hour just to keep up with the other drivers, who were going much faster. I've never been so terrified and...thrilled, to be honest. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Whipping around those corners, speeding up to pass slower drivers. OMG, it was amazing. I've never gone so fast before. When we came out of the mountains, and I saw the lights of Salt Lake City on the horizon, fireworks shot into the sky (literally). It was 4th of July weekend, but it felt like they were just for me. I've never been so happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I follow Mom into the city. By the time we hit the freeway, it was fully dark. I could barely see Mom's jeep because of drivers pulling in front of me. Some guy in a white truck almost ran me off the road. Traffic moved fast.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom got confused by the signs and ended up turning onto Hwy 80 for Reno. Next thing you know, we're lost. Trapped on a two-lane freeway with no way to pull off. We end up passing the Bonneville Salt Flats (which stink). It was close to midnight. I was exhausted and upset that we'd ended up an hour off course. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom finally noticed my frantic signaling and pulled off at a small gas station. The lights were off inside. Nobody else was around, but us. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom climbed out of the jeep and started to walk toward me. From the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of red. A pick up truck pulled in and parked next to us. A old guy in tattered overalls got out of the truck. He had shoulder length hair and a beard. No shirt (of course), because we'd just entered bizarro land. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">More pick up trucks pulled in and parked. It must've been a family caravanning, unless we stumbled across the gas station where the Salt Flat People held their parties. I say that 'cause the next thing I know, I'm watching a bunch of their kids dancing on top of the pick up trucks. It was the oddest thing I've EVER seen outside of a movie like <em>Deliverance</em> or <em>The Hills Have Eyes</em>. I wish I'd thought to take a video, but I didn't want to draw their attention. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom and I pulled out of the gas station and parked in a nearby field. We still needed to figure out where we were. And how to get back to Salt Lake City without being cannibalized by the Salt Flat People.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, the trip is already half over. What else can go wrong? I actually thought this as I laid down to sleep in <span style="font-size: large;">a beautiful room at the Comfort Inn a few miles back the way we came, in Tooele, Utah (home to some of the nicest people on earth).</span><br />
<br />
Foolish mortal. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We left Sturgis, SD around noon on Wednesday. I followed my mom because:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1) She's a better navigator than I am (if there is a way to get lost, I'll find it). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2) I couldn't see the jeep very well behind the Uhaul. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3) We were so exhausted, I had to watch to make sure she didn't fall asleep at the wheel. Every time she started swerving, I knew she'd drifted off and I honked to wake her up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One terrifying moment had her swerving into a lane already occupied by another car. If you were curious about why it took us four days to drive 20 hours, it's a pretty easy answer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to get there alive. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I think we were still in South Dakota for this picture, but I could be wrong. I loved the beautiful yellow flowers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't read about the first day of My Crazy Road Trip click </span><a href="http://anjeasandro.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-crazy-road-trip-saturday-day-1.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're all caught up, let's get to it. You'll remember where I left off. I was still in a la la land of my own creation. A place where unicorns fart rainbows, and everything was wonderful and magical. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I still thought we'd get on the road by Tuesday. I didn't realize I'd spend the next three days packing my mom's house. She'd downsized a lot in her last move, but she still had a lifetime of stuff-- her belongings, heirlooms she wanted to leave to her children (my sis, bro, and me), grandchildren, and great-grands. She also had things that belonged to her mother and father. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I boxed and wrapped all Sunday. Every time I thought I was close to being finished, I'd open a drawer or a closet and find more stuff. I found Time Magazines from the 1960's to present. Antiques were mixed in with Dollar Store junk. Pictures and important documents were mixed with magazine subscription requests. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Boxes and more boxes from the last move that had never been unpacked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I would lose my mind. At one point, I didn't think we'd be finished before the movers came. I think that was the first mini-break down. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom and I stayed up most of the night. I think the whole trip we averaged between two to five hours of sleep each night. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That blow up mattress never felt so good. I crashed hard. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This woke me up.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now, I'm from California, and we're in a drought. We haven't gotten a storm like this in years. It was pretty amazing to watch with the thunder and lightning. But then, I got to worrying about how the storm would affect the move. Would the movers be able to load the truck in weather like this? Would it be safe?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I went to bed stressing about these things, but I woke up in the morning to this. </span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">On this hopeful note, Mom and I grabbed the Uhaul and brought it home. Then we continued to pack. The movers are scheduled to arrive at 2 pm. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At noon, we got a knock on the door. The movers came two hours early. We weren't done packing. Not even close, but...I didn't care. YAY! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Come on in." <em>Get to work. Stop chatting. I don't need to make every decision about how to load the truck. I totally trust your judgment. Just put the boxes in ALL READY! UGH. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The guys moving us were really nice, but the main guy didn't move fast. He was like an artist who had to find the perfect spot for each box. Then he had to get permission from me to put it in the truck. The other guy almost came unglued because he and I were doing most of the loading, while the other one pondered the symmetry of the load and the mysteries of the universe. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I really felt bad for the guys after we hit the two hour mark. It was hot and muggy. There were only two of them doing a job that should be done by four or five guys. Not cool given the amount of stuff that needed to be loaded. Or the fact that we discovered halfway through the move that the Uhaul was too small. There would be nine large boxes left over at the end of the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What really sucked was the fact that our movers, the ones who arrived at noon, weren't even supposed to be there. They'd been contracted by the company that <em>canceled</em> on us Saturday. Because they'd canceled, Mom had to scramble to find a moving company to replace them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We discovered this error when Mom received a phone call from the company she'd hired to replace them. They were scheduled to arrive at 2 p.m., and wanted to let us know they were on the way. This left everyone scrambling for answers. Especially the guys who'd been loading our Uhaul for two hours. They wanted to get paid. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We wanted to get moved. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It all worked out in the end. They guys stayed, but it took eight hours to load the Uhaul. And like I mentioned earlier, nine boxes were left over. We ended up trashing them. There was nothing else we could do. We tried donation, but Salvation Army wouldn't pick up. So Mom spoke to a lady at the trash company. She said to line the boxes up on the curb, and they'd pick them up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday was spent cleaning. Going through the remaining boxes to try and salvage anything of importance. Then I hauled them down to the curb. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">By late Wednesday morning, we were done. Mentally and actually freaking finished. The house was empty. We wanted out! It didn't matter that we'd only be able to drive for eight hours. We got on the road. I drove the Uhaul and Mom drove her jeep. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The new plan: Be in San Diego by Friday.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week I flew out to South Dakota to help my mother move across country to San Diego. I had it all planned out. Mom would have everything packed and ready to go by the time I arrived Saturday night. Sunday we'd head out. If everything went well, we would arrive at my sister's house by Wednesday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wow, I really was naïve.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing ever goes according to plan. And, sometimes, things veer so far off course as to make the plan non-existent--a you've-gotta-be-kidding-me, fairy-fart of a pipe-dream. Once you've reached that level of chaos, you can either curl into a ball and cry or embrace the crazy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I did both. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It started with a flight. Well, a few too many flights. Good grief, I don't understand why airlines schedule connecting flights with such a tight schedule. My flight to Phoenix, AZ left Sacramento at 8:40 and I arrived at 11ish. At that point, everything was going well. I got checked in with minimal fuss. I didn't even have to take off my shoes because I was pre-checked. Once I got into the secure part of the terminal, I bought a giant bottle of water. It was going to be a long day, and I wanted to stay hydrated. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I arrived in AZ, I learned I had to leave the terminal to fly on another airline. It was fun. I road a train, then hiked through the AZ heat to the new terminal. Once I arrived, I learned I had to get checked in again. This meant I couldn't bring in my giant bottle of water, which cost five bucks because I bought it in the airport. I was not happy. I told them I wasn't happy. The TSA agent told me, I could stand out there and drink it or throw it away. I threw it away. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I went though the body scan machine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A different TSA agent stopped me and said, "It looks like you've got a bomb on your boob." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I looked at her. "Did you just say I've got a bomb on my boob?" 'Cause surely I'm hearing things wrong. Right? She seriously did not say... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She gave a little laugh, which neither confirmed nor denied the boob statement. Then she waved at the scanner. It a figure (way to skinny to represent me, but it also showed my breast area highlighted in neon yellow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"I'll need to do a pat check. Do you want to go to a private area?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, no. "I'm fine. Let's just do this." I held out my arms while she searched me. No bomb. Duh.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then she wipes my hands with tissue or something. I assume to test for bomb-making residue of some sort. She was very thorough, and I felt safer. Nobody would get through carrying a bomb in their breasts on her watch. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I spent the next four hours until my flight to Denver stressing out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First, I got a call from my mom. She said the movers who were supposed to pack the Uhaul told her they didn't have anyone on her service area. They totally canceled the day they were supposed to arrive. My mom spent the day arranging for movers to come on Monday. So not part of my grand plan to be on the road to San Diego on Sunday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, I discover my flight to Denver was showing a forty minute delay due to bad weather. Given I only had a forty-five minute window between landing and boarding the last flight to South Dakota, I worried. I spoke to the staff (really nice) who arranged for me to be on a flight at 7 a.m. the next morning if I missed my connecting flight. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Talk about praying hard for a miracle. I did not want to spend the night in the Denver airport. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Luckily, the weather corrected itself. My flight was back on schedule by the time it came to board. Then things went to hell again. We stood in line waiting for the gate to open. Ten minutes pass before we even get seated. And yes, I was paying a lot of attention to the time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once we're on board I think everything is okay. When we reach Denver the captain makes an announcement. The reason it took so long for us to board was because they added additional fuel in case of bad weather. Because we didn't use up all of the fuel, we had to circle Denver until we used it up. It was too dangerous to land otherwise. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We circled over Denver for twenty minutes. The mood on the plane rapidly deteriorated. Turns out I wasn't the only person with a tight connecting flight. The woman in the seat beside me saw her boarding time come and go before we even landed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The plane landed, and I had five minutes to find and board my gate. I didn't even realize until I was climbing down the stairs that I had to run across the tarmac to the terminal. There was a plane parked next to mine. In the distance was the terminal. I started running with the herd. My gate, the one I needed for my next flight was the first door. The attendants waved the herd off to a main entrance, so I kept on going. Once I got inside, I turned around, and ran back to my gate. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I yelled, "I just got off my plane. I need to board."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The attendants radioed the plane to keep them from taking off without me (thank you). And I ran back the way I'd come, 'cause, yeah, the plane parked next to the one I got off was the one I needed to board. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Exhausted, I crashed during the last flight. It turned out to be a twelve hour day.</span> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I arrived in South Dakota and saw my mom, I knew it had been worth it. Getting to hug her was the best feeling ever. I hadn't seen her in three years. I never expected her to have aged. I still picture her as a giant. My mom who can conquer anything, but she's seventy-five. A tiny, fragile little thing who was brave enough to move to South Dakota last year because she wanted to live in the Black Hills. It was shocking.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I arrived at her house in Sturgis, SD, I received another shock. Nothing had been packed! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not talking about the truck. I knew about the truck...the flakey moving company. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">No, I would have to pack up her entire house in one day because the movers would be arriving on Monday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Surely my plan is still salvageable. Nothing else can go wrong. Right? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">See. I'm still so naïve.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stop by Wednesday for more of the crazy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And scroll down to enjoy a teaser DARK EMBRACE (Dark Paradise, #4). It releases Tuesday, July 14th and is available for pre-order. :)</span><br />

Perfect. Or so Annie Carson’s life appears on her popular blog. Reality is...
messier. Especially when it lands her back in one-cow town, Brightwater,
California, and back in the path of the gorgeous six-foot-four reason she left.
Sawyer Kane may fill out those wranglers, but she won’t be distracted from her
task. Annie just needs the summer to spruce up and sell her family’s farm so
she and her young son can start a new life in the big city. Simple, easy,
perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that’s blissfully real.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

Adult romance. After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, she
scoured the world armed only with a backpack, overconfidence and a terrible
sense of direction. She counts shooting vodka with a Ukranian mechanic in
Antarctica, sipping yerba mate with gauchos in Chile and swilling XXXX with
stationhands in Outback Australia among her accomplishments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua",serif; font-size: 12pt;">A British literature
fanatic at heart, Lia considers Mr. Darcy and Edward Rochester as her fictional
boyfriends. Her very patient husband doesn't mind. Much. When not torturing
heroes (because c'mon, who doesn't love a good tortured hero?), Lia herds
unruly chickens, camps, beach combs, daydreams about future books, wades
through a mile-high TBR pile and schemes yet another trip. Right now, Icelandic
hot springs and Scottish castles sound mighty fine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Lately, I've been spending a lot of time promoting the series since </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Embrace-Angie-Sandro-ebook/dp/B00Y8SOYVQ/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">DARK EMBRACE</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> is coming out next month. I've never felt comfortable with promoting my novels (it gives me the heebie jeebies). I've never been the sort of person who likes to put herself out there. Most of my friends know, I'm pretty shy when I'm in a group. I'm the person who is quietly listening to everyone else's stories. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I can't do that now. Promo is a huge part of being published. As much as I'd like to hide in my writing cave, I have to get out of my comfort zone on occasion. Even worse, I have to say, <em>*Hey, look at me. Check out my book*</em> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I can't say that I excel at promoting my work. If I'm honest, I doggie paddle in circles more than swim, lol. But I do my best to spread the word about the Dark Paradise series, because I love it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Okay, I'll shut up now. I guess I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. All of my insecurities were just regurgitated onto the page. It's been a while since I wrote a blog post. I'd forgotten how cathartic it can be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So, let's move on to my latest fun project. A teaser pic! YAY! I love making teasers, and I'm getting better at it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Mala's ghost busting tip #1</span>: Never piss off a vengeful spirit or she may follow you home. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span>Black mud oozes between my toes as I
shift the rope, sending up a cloud my weight and jerk on of midges and the
rotten-egg stench of stagnant swamp water. The edge of the damn crawfish trap
lifts out of the water—like it’s sticking its mesh tongue out at me—and refuses
to tear loose from the twisted roots of the cypress tree. It’s the same fight
each and every time, only now the frayed rope will snap if I pull on it any
harder. I have to decide whether to abandon what amounts to two days’ worth of
suppers crawling along the bottom of that trap or wade deeper into the bayou
and stick my hand in the dark, underwater crevice to pry it free.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gators
eat fingers.</i> A cold chill runs down my spine at the thought, and I shiver,
rubbing my arms. I search the algae-coated surface for ripples. The stagnant
water appears calm. I didn’t have a problem wading into the bayou to set the
trap. I’ve trapped and hunted in this bayou my entire life. Sure it’s smart to
pay attention to my instincts, doing so has saved my life more times than I can
count, but this soul-sucking fear is ridiculous.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="TX" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I take a deep breath and pat the
sheathed fillet knife attached to my belt. My motto is: Eat or do the eating. I
personally like the last part. A growling belly tends to make me take all kinds
of stupid risks, but this isn’t one. If I’m careful, a gator will find my bite
cuts deeper than teeth if it tries to make me into a four-course meal. Grandmère
Cora tried to teach her daughter that the way to a man’s heart was through his
stomach. Since Mama would rather fuck ’em than feed ’em, I inherited all the
LaCroix family recipes, including a killer gator gumbo.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><div class="TX" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sick of second-guessing myself, I slog
deeper into the waist-high water. Halfway to the trap, warm mud wraps around my
right ankle. My foot sticks deep, devoured. I can’t catch my balance. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Crud, I’m sinking.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ripples undulate across the surface of the water, spreading in my direction. My breath catches, and I fumble for the knife. Those aren’t natural waves. Something’s beneath the surface. Something big. I jerk on my leg, panting. With each heave, I sink deeper, unable to <span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span></span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">break the suction holding me prisoner. Gator equals death…But I’m still alive. <em>So what is it? Why hasn’t it attacked?</em> A flash of white hits the corner of my eye—<br /><br /><em>Shit!</em> I twist, waving the knife in front of me. My heart thuds. Sparkly lights fill my vision. Blinking rapidly, I shake my head. My mind shuts down. At first I can’t process what I’m seeing. It’s too awful. Too sickening. Then reality hits—hard. The scream explodes from my chest, and I fling myself backward. The mud releases my leg with a <em>slurp</em>. Brackish water smacks my face, pouring into my open mouth as I go under. Mud and decayed plants reduce visibility below the surface.<br /><br /> Wrinkled, outstretched fingers wave at me in the current. The tip of a ragged fingernail brushes across my cheek. It snags in my hair. I bat at the hand, but I can’t free my hair from the girl’s grip. She’s holding me under. Trying to drown me. I can’t lift my head above the surface. <em>She won’t let me go!</em><br /> My legs flail, kicking the girl in the chest. She floats. I sit up, choking. I can’t breathe and scream at the same time. I’m panting, but I concentrate. <em>Breathe in. Out. In.</em> The girl drifts within touching distance. Floating. Not swimming. Why doesn’t she move? Is it stupid to pray for some sign of life—the rise of her chest, a kick from her leg—when I already know the truth?<br /><br /> Want to read more?

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <strong>Is this love affair their destiny? Or is it doomed?</strong><br />Paradise Pointe, Louisiana, is far from idyllic for Mala LaCroix and Landry Prince. Haunted by strange visions, the pair are drawn together by a mystery concealed beneath the polite facades and the murky swamps of the Deep South.<br /><br />Landry had a crush on Mala all through high school, but now — up close and personal — he is starting to suspect that the rumors of witchcraft and hoodoo are true.<br /><br />But he can’t let his doubts tear them apart because the reckoning is coming. As Mala struggles to conceal her powers and avoid the curse that has struck generations of LaCroix women, Landry will have no choice but to face his own demons. Both of them will soon be caught up in a web of deceit that reveals the dark side of Paradise.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a while since I posted. I guess I need to fill you in on what's been going on. :) I finished my copyedits for DARK EMBRACE (Dark Paradise, #4) and turned them in today. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I do have cover(s). Plural! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I saw my gorgeous cover for DARK EMBRACE ) last month. My publisher decided to go in a different direction from my original covers, and I LOVED their new concept for the series. What I didn't expect was the surprise email I received on Wednesday from my editor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">OMG, ya'll. I also have a brand new cover for DARK PARADISE (Dark Paradise, #1). It's absolutely stunning! Like I forgot how to breathe when I saw it--beautiful. My coworker thought I was having some sort of allergy attack. Then she saw it too, lol. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Believe me, there was a lot of squeeing and chair dancing going on in my cubicle. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I mean, I totally love my old covers. But, these are also beautiful in a totally different way. You'll see what I mean soon<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">. I promise it won't be long before I can show them off. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Impossible Promise by Sybil Bartel<br />(Impossible Promise #1)<br />Published by: Carina Press (HQN)<br />Publication date: March 23rd 2015<br />Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance</span></div>
<div>
<br /><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Synopsis:</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<strong><u><span style="font-size: large;"></span></u></strong> </div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Three years ago, Layna Blair listened in horror over a telephone line
as her parents were murdered. When the killer said she was next, Layna
panicked and made a deadly deal—his secret in exchange for her life.
She’s paid the price every day since, becoming a prisoner in plain
sight</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Marine Sergeant Blaze Johnson offers Layna a way out—her freedom, his
rules, no questions asked—and she takes it, despite knowing what her
keepers do to people who get too close. She doesn’t know Blaze is
fighting his own demons or that beneath his warrior façade is a man on
the verge of breaking.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Embarking on a wild revenge mission with Blaze and his smooth-talking
best friend, Talon, is not what Layna signed on for. But attempting to
run when Blaze has made no secret he intends to make her his is a
reckless mistake. With the killer closing in, it’s up to Blaze to save
them all—and to Layna to realize that she’s risked the one thing she
can’t afford to lose.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Book one of two / 93,000 words</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Heat level: Steamy; not for under 17, it has open door sex scenes.</span></div>

<u><strong><span style="font-size: large;">IMPOSSIBLE PROMISE - Quote #1<o:p></o:p></span></strong></u></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“I’m
going to wake him up then I’m going to make it look like I’m taking you by
force. I won’t hurt you but just the same, don’t fight me. Pretend to be scared
into submission.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
might’ve rolled my eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buck
stared at me, expressionless. “Better yet, pretend to be unconscious.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Is
there a plan C?” My acting skills were super latent—like practically
nonexistent latent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buck
misunderstood. He stepped close and took my face in his hand. “I’m not going to
hurt you, I promise.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Oh,
he’d hurt me all right. I was sure of that now. Maybe not today or tomorrow,
but he’d leave eventually and it was gonna hurt like hell. “That’s not what I’m
worried about,” I lied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Then
what are you worried about?” He stroked my cheek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Oh
man, I couldn’t think when he did that. It was like Valium or a stupid pill but
much more instant. Buck touches me, my brain turns off. I had to force myself
to step back. “Okay.” I put a couple feet between us and inhaled. “Unconscious,
got it. But how, exactly, is that gonna work?” The logistics were escaping my
fog-induced brain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buck
watched me with a penetrating stare that slowly melted into liquid. He dropped
his voice to a seductive whisper. “Come here.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Gulp.
Ah, yeah, no. Uh uh. Not happening. I might’ve shaken my head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>His
giant hand rose up slowly, palm up. He said nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Shit.
I was such a goner. Why prolong the charade? I took his hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>His
monstrous fingers wrapped around mine and he instantly pulled me to his side,
whispering in my ear. “That’s it baby, just relax.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>His
breath tickled my skin and his heat made me melt. I slunk against his side and
inhaled the clean musk I’d grown attached to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“You
think too much,” he said softly, brushing my hair from my face and skimming his
lips over my temple. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
wasn’t thinking jack shit. Wait, that’s not true. I was thinking <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Buck</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">muscles</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sexy</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">voice</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">hot breath</i>. Total package wrapped up in a dominating, alpha, kick
ass, swoon-worthy marine. It’s a good thing I’d sworn off men after my one and
only encounter last year because Blaze-cum-Buck just ruined me for anyone else.
Ever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“That’s
right.” His lips touched my ear. “You like mountains, baby? Or the beach?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Holy
cow, his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">voice</i>. “Beach,” I whispered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Me
too. Beach all the way. Hot sand under your feet, sound of the waves, you and
me sharing a towel…sound like fun?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Mmm.”
Buck, no shirt. “Yeah.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Drop
your head forward.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
didn’t hesitate. My hair fell over my face and concealed my view.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Good
girl. Just for that, I’m gonna take you to the beach.” Buck moved toward Shorty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Wait.”
I tensed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>“Shh,
I got you. Let go, don’t think.” Buck’s arm tightened around my waist. “Let
your legs go slack and drop your center of gravity, baby. Make it look real.
Don’t worry, I got you. Think about you and me and that beach day I promised
you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
hesitated but I did it. Then I didn’t have a chance to think. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div align="left" class="ChapterName" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buck
moved into action. “Ready, baby?” It was a rhetorical question.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 1em 0in; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Buck
threw the water on Shorty and kicked him, hard. “Wake up, asshole!”<u><o:p></o:p></u></span></div>

</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I grew up in Northern California with my head in a book and my feet in the sand. I dreamt of becoming a painter but the heady scent of libraries with their shelves full of books drew me into the world of storytelling. I love the New Adult genre, but any story about a love so desperately wrong and impossibly beautiful makes me swoon.</span></div>
<div>
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">I now live in Southern Florida and while I don’t get to read as much as I like, I still bury my toes in the sand. If I’m not writing or fighting to contain the banana plantation in my backyard, you can find me spending time with my handsomely tattooed husband, my brilliantly practical son and a mischievous miniature boxer…<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But Seriously?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are ten things you probably really want to know about me.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I grew up a faculty brat. I can swear like a sailor. I love men in uniform. I hate being told what to do. I can do your taxes (but don’t ask). The Bird Market in Hong Kong freaks me out. My favorite word is desperate…or dirty, or both—I can’t decide. I have a thing for muscle cars. But never reply on me for driving directions, ever. And I have a new book boyfriend every week—don’t tell my husband.<br /><br /><u><strong>Author Links</strong>:</u></span></div>
