Angels are real #White_Feathers #new_release

5/25/2020

 
Picture
Angels are a part of many different cultures. They watch over us, either as loved ones who have passed on or as special people who have earned the job. Either way, it's nice to know that you have someone watching out for you. 

Author Phyllis Cherry, creates an amazing world where angels do more than just watch over you...they train others. Her book White Feathers Academy will delight fans of books like Harry Potter, as her characters seek to find the answers they need. 

Blurb:
WHAT IF - Somewhere in the galaxy there is a school taught by angels?
WHAT IF – A young person with no special talent finds the one perfect gift?
WHAT IF – Youngsters who failed to survive their first life are given a new life?
WHAT IF – One evil young girl threatens talented students with her greed?
 
Halo Havens didn’t know that angels had special talents and different jobs.

She’d never met an android, talked to a giant fish or met an angel.

Her life changed the day she skated in front of a car trying to rescue a puppy and was transported to the fantastic world of White Feathers Academy. There she makes new friends, accepts the challenge of a seemingly hopeless job and embarks on the greatest adventure of her new young life, if she can survive the tests.   

Excerpt:
“Help, help me. Please hurry.” She prayed over and over to God and His angels. Her legs cramped, her arms were heavy, and her lungs about to explode. A lump of something sour swelled in her throat, and distant voices yelling were the last things she remembered before sinking into the blackness of the water.

Michigan is for Lovers #Smitten_Series #Cover_Reveal

5/21/2020

 
Picture
While Michigan wasn't my home state, I lived there for more than half of my life. There is so much to love about a state filled with lakes, nature and wildlife. I boated, fished and hiked. I climbed sand dunes and listened to the waves crash on the shore under the Mackinaw Bridge.

Susan V. Vaughn is a Michigan author who writes compelling tales of love set in her home state. Her Smitten Series features stand alone stories where the only connection is the location. Each story features a couple who finds their happily ever after in a Michigan town. 

Fools Rush In features a Canadian dancer who is searching for her father. She finds something she never thought she would...

Blurb:
All her life, Cree Robertson only had two dreams: to dance professionally, and to build a relationship with her father in America. When a career ending injury took her out of the dance game for good, Cree left everything she knew in Canada behind to be with her father. But her new life in Lexington, Michigan is far from what she had envisioned. And so is working for the handsome and rich, Henry Gates. A man used to getting his way.

A man determined to steal her heart….

As a boy, Henry Gates never envisioned taking over his father’s business and raising his little sister, Tara. But a family tragedy sealed his fate. Now he must live a life he never wanted for the sake of a little girl he has no idea how to raise. When Henry hires a beautiful and vivacious dance teacher for Tara, he wonders if his luck had finally turned around. Cree Robertson might just be the solution to his sister’s unhappiness.

She might just be the solution to his unhappiness…

Collecting Souls Isn't for the Faint of Heart #new_release

5/13/2020

 
Picture
Bynn is one busy girl! She's already defeated demons and now is out to collect lost souls. But not all souls are easy to gather. Some will require more than her ordinary talents. Hopefully this one won't cost her something precious.

Kristy Centeno's latest release features a spunky witch who isn't afraid of anything. Brynn has fire, and not just the kind that erupts from her fingers. 

Keeper of Lost Souls is a wild YA paranormal romp though the supernatural world. And a certain treat for fans of Melissa Marr's books. Pick up your copy today!

Blurb:
Bryn has survived high school bullies.

She’s fought demons and won.

She’s even learned to coexist with the permanent haunt of one of her arch enemies.

But she’s never had to contend with a boy she was attracted too.

Much less one that was dead.

When Johnny Zhao’s name pops up in her list of charges Bryn doesn’t think much of him. Until their first meeting ends in near disaster.

It doesn’t take long for her to realize Johnny isn’t a conventional soul in need. He’s much more powerful than any she’s seen before. He’s a coveted target, one that has much to offer demons.

Protecting him becomes a priority, one she takes very seriously.

Now if only she could convince him that he needs her help before his adversaries return to claim what they failed to collect the first time around.

EXCERPT:
I reached the first step leading up to the porch and that was when I sensed it. Eyes. Staring at me. Watching my every move. I spun around and glanced in every direction, drawing a donut on the ground with my feet as I rotated. Nothing. There was nobody there. Just my imagination playing tricks on me.

Or not.

A ball of white mist flew at me and zapped me with an electrical shock that sent me free-falling backward. I landed on the ground with a dull thud, blinded by an indescribable pain that sucked all the air out of my lungs in one quick whoosh. I was disoriented. Confused. And hurting as if I’d been struck head-on by a car.

I’d felt pain before, but never anything like this. It was as if I was being sautéed from the inside out by electrical undercurrents that coursed through my body, shooting tiny bolts of pure agony with each second. My muscles spasmed involuntarily and I had the sudden urge to vomit everything I ate for dinner that night.

I blinked away the tears that gathered in my eyes and tried to sit up, to no avail. Moving was too much of an effort; my energy was totally spent. I curled into a fetal position and focused on breathing in and out. It took about a minute for the symptoms to subside, but it was the longest sixty seconds of my goddamn life. I made the mistake of allowing my guard down for just a moment, and that lapse in judgement turned out to be very crucial.

Lesson learned.

Can You Win? #Criminal_Minds #New_Release

5/4/2020

 
Picture
I'm a huge Criminal Minds fan. I watch trying to figure out who the bad guy is or how he gets caught. If you are like me, Jules Adrienn's latest romantic thriller will keep you turning the pages. 

In Two Days to Die, our hero, Detective Emory is given an award vacation but it turns into a game of life or death. I could certainly see Derek Morgan as the lead. He'd have the charisma to melt the heroine's holster but also the physical attributes to go toe to toe with the criminal mastermind. 

Now out in paperback and ebook, TWO DAYS TO DIE is a must read for fans of the Bourne  or Mission Impossible Series. 

Blurb:
Detective Gabriel Emory has muscle, smarts, and survivalist skills. Even better, he has gorgeous detective Anita Wolfe flying with him to an all-expenses-paid island vacation. Too bad it’s really an escaped convict’s game to punish those who put him in prison.

Now Gabriel must use all his skills to survive a race through a dangerous wilderness. But how does he save himself and Anita in a contest where only the winner lives? It’s a race for their lives, and it ends in two-days. Tick, tick, tick…

EXCERPT:
She kept pulling and pointed the toe of her boot. Pain shot up her leg—some tendon or bone was smashed in there—but her foot began to slide out from under the tree. Her whole body became weightless with joy as her ankle and then her foot slipped from under the tree. She was free.

She wiggled her toes. Tears ran down her cheeks. She laughed. Her toes moved. And she could feel them. Everything still worked. She pulled up her jeans, examining the swollen, black-and-blue bloody mess that used to be her ankle. To her, it looked great. Better than ever.

Plucking the knife from the dirt, she braced a hand on the fallen tree and pulled herself up, balancing on her good leg. She tested her ankle, easing her weight down. As the heel of her boot touched the ground, a bolt of pain shot up her leg. She winced, lifting her foot. No way was she walking on it.

Hopping on her good leg, she searched the edge of the path and found a dead branch with a fork in it. She slipped it under her shoulder and put her weight on it. It made a good crutch.

The morning sun bathed her face as she hobbled down the path out of the woods, holding Gabriel’s knife. She stopped as she exited the forest, wiping the tears and dirt from her face with the back of her wrist. She looked at the cabin and tightened her grip on the knife. Juan Carlos Martinez, Gabriel, and Davis were in there. She started moving.
​
It was time to get busy.
