Welcome to the first Regency Monster Romance, in which the Lords of the Hidden Realm have a place in Society but never in the hearts of London’s fine human ladies.</span></i><br /><br />Until Now.<br /><br />Scratching by as a flower girl, Iris Gabbert speaks first and asks questions later. All the better to survive the rough and tumble East End streets. So if an odd-looking bloke knocks over a basket brimming with a girl’s means of making a living, what else is she to do but give him a tongue lashing he won’t soon forget? Even if it was an accident. Even if his lordship dresses like a right dandy. Even if he is more alluring than any gent who has passed her way before.<br /><br />Broad of shoulder and abrupt in manner, the infamous Lord Barrington presents a proposition that promises all the honey with none of the bee’s busy work. And no one ever accused Iris Gabbert of passing on an opportunity. Especially not if it brings her one step closer to her dream of buying a shop. For the small price of improving her manners and donning gorgeous gowns, no less.<br /><br />Duncan Higgins, Second Duke of Barrington, prides himself on his astute observations of human behavior. All the better to mask the pain of never truly belonging in their sphere. Rejected by the woman he’d hoped to woo, Duncan has withdrawn from Society to focus on his anthropological magnum opus: The Curious Customs of the Human Ton. But when his mischievous younger brother Albion presents him with a dare, Duncan quickly embraces the challenge.<br /><br />To win the wager, Duncan must transform a humble flower girl into a lady “worthy” of acceptance in Society. His work is cut out for him. The girl he intends to slip into their ranks is uncouth. She refuses to soften her voice. Her favorite bonnet sits crooked on her head, and the rest of her wardrobe is appalling. Yet when Iris Gabbert emerges from her first bath at his elegant Mayfair townhouse, the power of Duncan’s desire ignites.<br /><br />With sufficient income from his family’s mines to indulge her every whim, Duncan draws Iris into his private and luxurious world. Duncan intends to fulfill her every desire. Every last one. But as a newly refined Iris makes her debut, she catches the eye of the Season’s most eligible human bachelor, triggering Duncan’s deepest fears of rejection. Faced with jealousies, misunderstandings, and a treacherous social landscape, can true love—and lust—prevail?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xxx-large;">🕁</span><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Click to <a href="https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0CKLXDXDC&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_TCJP9ACH7YCHHV4CB490&tag=tbraddictio06-20" target="_blank">Preview Book</a></span><span style="font-size: xxx-large;">🕁</span></div></div></div><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="550" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups" src="https://read.amazon.com/kp/card?asin=B0CKLXDXDC&preview=inline&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_TCJP9ACH7YCHHV4CB490&tag=tbraddictio06-20" style="max-width: 100%;" type="text/html" width="336"></iframe></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">$0.99 at Time of Posting!</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><span><span><span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Adult | Fantasy </span></span></span></span></span>| Historical</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Published: February 5, 2024</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Length: 241</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tour Provided by <a href="https://xpressobooktours.com/" target="_blank">Xpresso Book Tours</a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/200240443-plucked-by-the-orc" target="_blank">Add to Your Goodreads TBR→</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span><a class="separator button" href="https://amzn.to/3UyPQt1" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: orange; border-radius: 4px; border: 0px solid black; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; padding: 5px; transition: all 0.5s ease 0s; width: 120px;" target="_blank"><span>Amazon</span></a></span></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;"></span></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;">The Excerpt</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e7c6069a-7fff-42c1-afe2-5f149acf518e"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Duncan Higgins, the Second Duke of Barrington, tucked his muslin cravat tighter underneath his Parisian greatcoat.

It was difficult to tolerate the stares his massive form and green-tinged skin attracted, but he could ensure his attire reflected the latest demands of the season. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Better to be respected, or even feared, than to find himself an object of scorn.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">His father had stepped foot in London eighteen years prior, the first orc to do so. But Duncan’s height, the horns curling back on his head, and his unusual coloring—unusual on the streets of this city, at least—still drew stares. As in all things connected to the frivolous </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">ton</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">, no one stated anything outright. Rather, he was subject to the averted glances of children seeing one of his kind for the first time. Or the pursed lips of a mother with a daughter of marriageable age looking to catch a gentleman’s eye. A gentleman of wealth, manners, and title.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A human gentleman. They were not eager for their daughters to marry Duncan Higgins, even if he were five and twenty and met their other requirements. He’d learned that lesson well enough. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">So be it.

Albion and their mother came to London from the Hidden Realm two years after Duncan accompanied Father here. He didn’t understand what it had been like for Duncan in those early days. When grown women had screamed at the sight of orcs, no matter how fine their English clothes, and boys hurled rocks at their backs.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">As he stepped out to the street this evening, an assortment of dandies packed the space outside the venerable theater, waiting on the carriages that would propel them to the next stop on their nightly rounds about the city. Despite the chill in the air, they left their greatcoats open, the better to showcase ruffled shirts, cravats folded crisply on the cross, and fitted trousers. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Albion often laughed at Duncan’s propensity for tracking human fashion, whilst Duncan argued that all manner of human customs were of interest. The apparel chosen for a particular season spoke to the values and aspirations of the </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">ton</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. When living as an outsider, one could never know too much about a culture.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">And Duncan was an outsider who literally stood out in a crowd. He ducked under the arches outside the theater’s foyer, side-stepping a matron with two daughters prancing before her. The ladies wore stunning multi-colored sapphires—pink, orange, amber, in every shade and gradient—sparkling on pendants hanging from the short pearl necklaces that were all the rage this season.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The rare gemstones originated in his land and were the source of his family’s wealth. Nevertheless, when the mother caught him glancing at her daughters’ jewels, she called them closer to her. Their finery was for the benefit of the human dandies. Not Duncan Higgins. Even if he could have made either of them a duchess.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">At one time, such a snub would have caused Duncan great shame. Now, however, these women meant no more to him than the portraits he might examine at a public exhibition in one of the city’s galleries. He tipped his bespoke hat in their direction and continued, wanting only to locate a hackney coach so he might return to his townhouse in a timely manner.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Despite the indulgence of taking in a performance this evening, he wished to abide by his customary schedule, drafting three pages over a glass of port prior to retiring for the night. Duncan aspired to publish a book in the Hidden Realm so the orcs who came to London in the future were better prepared than he had been.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Considering additional comments for his section on the shenanigans of human mothers, Duncan neglected to mind his feet. Distracted, he stumbled over one of the humans milling in front of the theater, tipping a woven basket filled with flowers over in the process. The blossoms hit the sodden ground in a colorful spray of wilting clumps—pansies, snowdrops, and clematis. He nearly tumbled down beside them.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Bloody hell,” he muttered, reaching for his handkerchief, twice the size of those used by other gentlemen, to wipe away the mud that had spattered his new coat. And just as the French styles were once again making their way across the Channel. Thanks to that scoundrel Napoleon Bonaparte, London had been deprived of Parisian fashions for several years.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Hey there, ‘ya big lug!” a female voice called, rising above the din of the humans still bustling out of the theater. “Watch where you’re putting them huge green feet of yours, kitten.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Duncan had been called many names in his life, but “kitten” had never before counted among their number. It took him a moment to realize the young woman was addressing </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">him</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She clicked her tongue between her teeth as she attempted to reclaim the flowers. “A girl’s tryin’ to make a living here, you know.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Her voice held the distinctive tinge of the East End, an accent he sometimes heard from shopkeepers. This woman’s outlandish appearance matched the Cockney drawl. Her walking dress and pelisse, both of which might have been a startling bronze hue when in fashion five years ago, clung to her slender figure in an indecent manner. A flamboyant blue-purple iris, its petals shaped like the fleur-de-lis of the old French royal family, with a jagged shot of golden color in the center, topped her bonnet.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-e9da0635-7fff-a43e-56c8-604ce463b535"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To make matters even more ridiculous, he found himself staring at this woman, whose delicate form and features were at odds with the boldest feminine voice he’d had the pleasure of hearing since he left the Hidden Realm. In Duncan’s homeland, women were not given to the performative modesty of the ton. What was that phrase he’d heard a human gentleman use to describe a beguiling young lady who had only recently arrived in London from the country? <i>A diamond in the rough.</i> At the time, the expression had confused him, but now he thought he understood what it meant.</span></span></p><div><br /></div></span></span></span></div></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e7c6069a-7fff-42c1-afe2-5f149acf518e"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xxx-large;">🕁</span><span style="font-size: xx-large;">About Jenna Larkin</span><span style="font-size: xxx-large;">🕁</span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a class="separator button" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552230110997" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: blue; border-radius: 4px; border: 0px solid red; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 5px; transition: all 0.5s ease 0s; width: 85px;" target="_blank">Facebook</a></span></span><span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a class="separator button" href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/40282975.Jenna_Larkin" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: brown; border-radius: 4px; border: 0px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; color: white; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 5px; transition: all 0.5s ease 0s; width: 90px;" target="_blank">Goodreads</a></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><a class="separator button" href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jenna-Larkin/author/B0CSVCDG9F" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background: orange; border-radius: 4px; border: 0px solid black; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; padding: 5px; transition: all 0.5s ease 0s; width: 90px;" target="_blank">Amazon</a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfWvGQLnnlLsmQb-m0uFUmf5u9PUVSy4SLGBIYJM8UKxQS1MtOVgQMcy9v_mLga9eKOC5uGkNqIT6G5zUMCeRMLr-nfZbudvePKiZgvdHncbPZlMxay0QVpS1wm4B5UAcwoCWs6eNsCkXWxvITgrUf3ZK0z2RLc7fdyMBpxmkPJVeet2fdWngeqUh7/s598/Jenna.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="588" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfWvGQLnnlLsmQb-m0uFUmf5u9PUVSy4SLGBIYJM8UKxQS1MtOVgQMcy9v_mLga9eKOC5uGkNqIT6G5zUMCeRMLr-nfZbudvePKiZgvdHncbPZlMxay0QVpS1wm4B5UAcwoCWs6eNsCkXWxvITgrUf3ZK0z2RLc7fdyMBpxmkPJVeet2fdWngeqUh7/s320/Jenna.jpg" width="315" /></a></div></div></div><br /></div></div><span style="font-size: medium;">Jenna Larkin writes historical romance and fiction under different pen names.

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Hunt or be hunted . . . </i>A centuries old obsession stalks a noble family fighting to hide their dark secret from an ever-changing world. Sink your teeth into Nancy Gideon’s Touched by Midnight series.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">A DARK CURSE</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Miss Arabella Howland is content to forgo the London marriage mill to assist her father in his research, especially when it comes to his intriguing patient, Louis Radman. But it’s not long before Bella’s curiosity alerts her to the danger of her father’s work . . . and to the fact that Louis is not who or what he seems.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">A BRIGHT PROMISE</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After centuries struggling with his vile existence, Louis Radman will soon be free of his affliction, thanks to his very capable physician. Unfortunately, his heart is less secure around the man’s tempting daughter. His yearning to walk in the light once more is complicated by his desire for the delightful Bella, who is as intelligent as she is fearless. But if history has taught him anything, it’s not to tempt fate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">AN UNFORGIVING PAST</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Still, happiness has a price and Louis is soon reminded that mortality comes with unfortunate limitations. To protect his new bride, he must face the demons from his past who wish to pull him back into their vampiric fold.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet, if he’s forced to return to his midnight world, will he lose his beloved Bella forever?</span><br />

Fortunately, the magic and mayhem continues in Dowser 4, 5, and 6.<br /><br />The customer looked familiar, like maybe he’d been in the bakery a few times before. The vampire, however, was new. – Dowser 1</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1)</i></b><br /><br />If you’d asked me a week ago, I would have told you that the best cupcakes were dark chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing, that dancing in a crowd of magic wielders — the Adept — was better than sex, and that my life was peaceful and uneventful. Just the way I liked it. That’s what twenty-three years in the magical backwater of Vancouver will get you — a completely skewed sense of reality. Because when the dead werewolves started showing up, it all unraveled … except for the cupcake part. That’s a universal truth.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic (Dowser 2)</i></b><br /><br />Three months ago, I lost my foster sister, Sienna, to the darkness. As in blood magic and chaos and general mayhem. No one saw it until it was too late, but I should have. Now, I have a wounded heart and soul that I can’t even reveal to anyone around me, because I’m supposed to hate Sienna with the fiery passion of the justified. And I do. I just wish I didn’t feel so lost without her, so unsure of the path I thought I had carved for myself, and so outclassed by the powerful Adepts constantly by my side these days. I’m not even sure if they’re with me for my own protection or because my shiny new powers are rare and valuable. Assuming I ever figure out who or what I am, and how my magic actually works.<br /><br />Even chocolate can’t save the day every time … just most of the time. At least I’ve got that going for me.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Treasures, Demons, and Other Black Magic (Dowser 3)</i></b><br /><br />I hadn’t set foot in the human world for more than a few hours in over three and a half months. Sure, I was stronger and faster than I’d ever been before, and I had a shiny new sword, but I was seriously chocolate deprived. I don’t recommend quitting cold turkey. And the new sword was a problem — to my mind, anyway. It represented all the expectations of a powerful father and a new otherworldly life. A life that wasn’t the one I’d worked so hard to build. It also represented the responsibility I had to bring my foster sister Sienna to … what? Justice? I didn’t know if that was even possible. What I did know was that Sienna wouldn’t stop, and that I couldn’t just leave everything up to fate and destiny … or maybe I was. Maybe I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing. If you believed in that sort of thing.<br /><br />I just hoped that before the chaos and mayhem renewed, I’d manage to get my hands on some chocolate. It didn’t even have to be single-origin Madagascar. I was utterly prepared to lower my standards.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the sensual world of the Lupine, where the burning drive to mate claims all...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;">Lexie Walters knows she’s in big trouble. Caught trying to steal her champion horse from the sexy werewolf cowboy who purchased the mare, she’s offered a devil’s bargain. Jackson Palmer will let her ride Diamond in an upcoming barrel race if Lexie spends seven nights in his bed. Desperate to win the rodeo prize money that can save her pack’s ranch, Lexie agrees. But there’s no way she’ll become his mate, no matter how much Jackson ’s touch arouses her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ever since Lexie left for college Jackson Palmer has waited to capture the curvy Lupine werewolf’s heart. Now she’s back in his life and he’s determined to claim her. Only Lexie can tame his wild wolf side. If Jackson doesn’t find a mate in two weeks, he’ll get kicked out of the Mitchell pack.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lexie will do everything to resist Jackson ’s seductive charms. But she doesn’t realize there’s a far more serious threat than losing her virginity to this powerful and determined Lupine. Someone wants to prevent her from racing, only this someone will not stop until she’s off the rodeo circuit for good…</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After graduating from the University of Florida with a journalism degree, I worked as a newspaper reporter. After, tired of simply reporting the news, I became a writer for a large international charity. My work took me to countries like Haiti and Honduras to write about famine, disease and other issues. Humanitarian jobs are fulfilling, but emotionally draining. The work is for a good cause, but the pressure can be enormous.<br /><br />So to counter the suffering I encountered in my travels, I began writing romance novels. My first romance novel, <b><i>The Falcon & the Dove,</i></b> was about a handsome Egyptian sheikh protecting a treasure hidden in the sands for centuries. He meets his match in the lovely American who comes to Egypt to unearth the treasure. <b><i>The Falcon & the Dove</i></b> won the historical category of the 2001 RWA Melody of Love contest. A year later, it was published by Dorchester Publishing.<br /><br />Today I write paranormal romances for Harlequin and self-publish a sexy shifter series called <b><i>The Werewolves of Montana.</i></b> It gives me great joy to write romance novels and create characters who struggle to learn who they are, and how to connect with one another. My books usually contain adventure and action as well, and I insist on one thing.<br /><br />There's always a happy ending. No matter what hardships the hero and heroine face, the conflict will be resolved in the end and their love will overcome the odds.<br /><br />Because in the end, I believe that love is the most powerful force in the universe. It can make magic happen, renew faith, and give hope for a better tomorrow. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said, "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">With tales ranging from the deadly serious to the absurdly hilarious—including an original story for this volume—Side Jobs is a must-have collection for every devoted Harry Dresden fan.<br /><br />As Chicago’s only professional wizard, Harry Dresden has had cases that have pitted him against insane necromancers, power-hungry faerie queens, enigmatic dark wizards, fallen angels—pretty much a “who’s who” of hell and beyond—with the stakes in each case ranging from a lone human soul to the entire human race. But not every adventure Harry Dresden undertakes is an epic tale of life and death in a world on the edge of annihilation.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Here, together for the first time in paperback, are the shorter works of #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher—a compendium of cases that Harry and his cadre of allies managed to close in record time.</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>One of the giants of urban fantasy…delivers some great stories in this volume…This is a great collection, featuring a hero who's proven himself over and over again, as well as delving into the odd corners of his fascinating and fantastic world.

<div style="text-align: left;">
Jim Butcher is the author of the <b><i>Dresden Files, the Codex Alera,</i></b> and a new steampunk series, the <b><i>Cinder Spires</i></b>. His resume includes a laundry list of skills which were useful a couple of centuries ago, and he plays guitar quite badly. An avid gamer, he plays tabletop games in varying systems, a variety of video games on PC and console, and LARPs whenever he can make time for it. Jim currently resides mostly inside his own head, but his head can generally be found in his home town of Independence, Missouri.</div>
<br />Jim goes by the moniker Longshot in a number of online locales. He came by this name in the early 1990’s when he decided he would become a published author. Usually only 3 in 1000 who make such an attempt actually manage to become published; of those, only 1 in 10 make enough money to call it a living. The sale of a second series was the breakthrough that let him beat the long odds against attaining a career as a novelist.<br /><br />All the same, he refuses to change his nickname.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Lucy Carmel Hibbett was born and raised just outside of Dublin, Ireland. As a child, Lucy’s home was crammed to the rafters with books, love, and laughter. She credits her parents and her aunts (the two Carmels) with nurturing her passion for reading and storytelling from an early age. She also credits them with her love of sweet things and her inevitable fall into type two diabetes, but don’t tell them that. (Close your eyes, Mammy and Daddy Hibbett!)</div>
<br />Lucy now lives with her husband, their two little girls, and her dogs in a village not far from her family home. She spends her time writing, reading, and protecting the world from the trail of mischief and mayhem left behind by her daughters. She has reached ninja levels of secret eating and can open and consume vast levels of chocolate without being caught by her children. If you knew her eldest daughter, you’d realize this is an impressive feat–Sherlock Holmes has nothing on that kid.<br /><br />Lucy’s favorite authors include Cassandra Clare, Maeve Binchy, Trudi Canavan, Jaymin Eve, Oscar Wilde, Kazuo Ishiguru, and Elise Kova. Lucy’s debut series, The Demon-Born Trilogy was released in 2016 and is an Amazon bestseller. She ate cake to celebrate. In secret.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clever, cool and preternaturally lethal, Max Savoie is leader of a secretive shape-shifter clan, heir to a mobster’s legacy, and the love of New Orleans’ top cop . . . but he can’t remember any of them. The only way to recover his past, and his rightful place in the arms of the woman who risked all to save him, is to surrender to a mysterious visitor who could use him as a weapon against all he’d loved.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After rescuing her mate from his ruthless captors in the North, hard-hitting Detective Charlotte Caissie is now painfully vulnerable—a stranger in his eyes . . . and in his bed. The key to his memories is locked in a tortuous past. To reclaim the strength of their passionate bond, Max must learn to trust her enough to face that darkness at her side before the threat it hides exposes the secret Cee Cee carries.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When an investigation into grisly deaths in an underground Shifter fight club points to more than just dangerous clan rivalries, Cee Cee enlists Max’s help to find a traitor in their midst while there’s still time to turn a deadly invading tide. But the cost of saving their treasured future may mean sacrificing his past. Especially when the enemy they pursue . . . might be Max, himself.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Nancy Gideon is the award-winning, bestselling author of 60 romances ranging from historical, regency and series contemporary suspense to paranormal, with a couple of horror screenplays tossed into the mix. She’s also published under the pen names Dana Ransom, Rosalyn West and Lauren Giddings. She works full time as a legal assistant in Central Michigan, and when not at the keyboard, feeds a Netflix addiction along with all things fur, fin and fowl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A prolific writer, Nancy attributes her creative output, which once peaked at seven novels in one year, to her love of history and a gift for storytelling. She also credits the discipline learned through a background in journalism and OCD. The due date for her third book and her second son were on the same day . . . and both were early! When on deadline, she turns on the laptop between 4:30 and 5:00 a.m. to get a chapter in before heading in to her day job. She’s a member of <a href="http://www.gdrwa.org/" target="_blank">GDRWA</a>, <a href="http://midmichiganrwa.org/" target="_blank">MMRWA</a>, <a href="http://www.pasic.net/p/welcome-to-pasic.html" target="_blank">PASIC</a>, <a href="http://www.romance-ffp.com/" target="_blank">FF&P</a> and <a href="https://ninc.com/" target="_blank">Novelists Inc.</a> and dotes on her critique group.</span></div>

<b style="font-size: large;"><i>The hunter becomes the prey, a prisoner to his own desire . . .</i></b>
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: large;">Turow . . .</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Strong, silent man of integrity content to serve his new king as a prince in the turbulent shape-shifter House of Terriot. A tracker and relentless hunter, he’s used to running trails alone until charged with returning a traitor to their mountain top home to face the unforgiving judgment of their clan. On the run with the bad girl he’s loved forever, the choice between duty and desire has never been more difficult . . . or deadly.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Could the bargain made to save their lives become reality?</span><br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: large;">Sylvia . . .</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Manipulative schemer or victim caught between a mother’s ambition and a rogue prince’s lust for power? Trust is almost as foreign as the idea of love, but to save herself from certain death, she must risk both on the good man who deserves them . . . from someone worthy. Trapped by the only one who believes in her goodness, will she betray him and run for her life . . . or stay and destroy him with a long hidden truth?</span><br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">* * * * *</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Prince of Honor</i></b> is the first of four books in the House of Terriot series - a spin-off of Gideon's By Moonlight series. Each book features one of four H.O.T. shape-shifter princes - alike in their allegiance to their king, family, & throne and yet, different in personalities, personal battles, and the persona they present to the public. Four deadly princes with a chip on their shoulders, a battle to win, a throne to protect. Four delicious princes who love fiercely, party hardy, and break hearts.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Excerpt</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">It was early. Faint daylight crept in through cracks in the curtains, but the room was still quite dark.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Turow couldn’t move. Couldn’t manage more than a quiet moan. His body wouldn’t respond, his mind refusing to engage. A huge weight of sated bliss layered over him, making simple actions impossible. Every breath he took reminded him why.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The covers tossed over his naked body held her unique smell. His tongue still tasted her. But it was what he didn’t feel that finally goaded him into awareness.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Her heat didn’t rest beside him. In fact, the sheet was cold.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Empty.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He tried to sit up but something jerked him down. That something a metal bracelet about his wrist, shackling him to the bed frame. His hazy mind recoiled in surprise. How could she have gotten to the key where it lay a room away in the pocket of his coat?<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Alert and now wary, Turow let his senses sharpen before opening his eyes to a sight that scarred him, heart and soul. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sylvia stood on the other side of their shabby room, dressed in her castoff clothes, her lovely, kiss-bruised lips narrowed, her expression carefully masked. She met his gaze directly, hers betraying nothing.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Because they were not alone.</span><br />

</span><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Fight or die.</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That simple yet brutal reality is the tenet by which the refugees from Earth – including the fabled lost 9th Legion of Rome; the 5th Company, 2nd Mounted Cavalry Unit; and the Special Forces Anti-Terrorist Team – were forced to live by while the Horde menace existed. Believing that the threat is over, the survivors now yearn to settle down, start families, and reclaim the lives stolen from them.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But such aspirations might remain beyond their reach, for a shadow looms on the rose-tinted horizon of new beginnings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The release of the re-genesis matrix has done much to foster a restoration of exuberance across Arden. Along with a resurgence in floral and faunal diversity comes the results of splicing the Ardenese and human genomes: transmutation. A metamorphosis of stunning magnitude that not only affects the living, but those still is stasis as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Recognizing the emergence of a new hybrid species, the Architect – the arcane AI construct tasked with the preservation of the Ardenese race – responds by unlocking previously hidden and inaccessible areas of the city. It also releases an archive of sealed state secrets. Such revelations are eagerly perused, whereupon a shocking discovery is made.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Prior to the fall, it was common knowledge amongst the Senatum (the highest levels of Arden’s government) that not all the rabid Horde had joined in the rampage across the stars toward Arden.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Realizing that the peril still exists, the newly reformed administration elects to respond in earnest. Existing resources are utilized, suitable candidates are chosen, and a flotilla of ships is sent out to secure, quarantine, and reclaim the outer colonies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A mammoth and hazardous undertaking. And nowhere more so than at the planet from where the outbreak was known to have originated – Exordium – for there, the ancient Horde are not only supremely evolved and highly organized, but are capable of a level of lethal sophistication, the likes of which has never been witnessed before.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is into this kiln of incendiary potential that the cream of Arden’s fighting forces is deployed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Worlds are torn asunder, suns destroyed, and star systems obliterated. Yes, tragedy is forged, in a universe spanning conflict which proves once again that…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Death is only the beginning of the adventure.</span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Prologue</span></i></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Hastings, Michigan – Summer<br />St. Rose of Lima’s Bell Tower</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">David Dahlton encouraged his best girl to follow him up the narrow staircase. “Diane, you’ll love the view.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Diane Pettergill shook her head. How many times must she wear herself out following him up creaking staircases to capture yet another view of their hometown? “Who’s going to look at your pictures?’</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">David sat down on the top step, realizing he had a problem. Photography would rescue him from farming drudgery without leaving the secure confines of Hastings. “Maybe I’ll publish a book someday.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She smiled at him. “That’ll be the day.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Don’t you want to see our town become famous?” He noticed he hadn’t thoroughly cleaned the mud from his shoes. Maybe Diane was reacting to the smell of recycled pig food.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“I’m more interested in our future than this stupid town’s.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“You don’t want to live here after we marry?” David’s mind spun out of control. He thought she loved him, wanted to have his babies and see them grow up in town. “Wouldn’t you miss your parents and your sister?”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Betty said you wouldn’t listen.” Diane tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. “We could visit, you know.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Their life wouldn’t be the same. “We’d be strangers to everyone—even to our own folks if we stayed away too long.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“You are a stick in the mud.” Diane turned her back on him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He listened as she slammed the side door to the tower. David climbed up to the landing under the bell. Hanging over the side nearest the front door, he called to her. “Come back. I don’t want to lose you.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Diane stopped her retreat down St. Rose’s front walk. She stood with her back to him. Then shaded her eyes as she looked up. “I’m not ready to say goodbye either.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Wait for me.” He wanted to ring the bell for the celebration in his heart. Instead he took several hurried photographs in each direction. He’d need to come back to get more shots. They’d known each other since childhood. Out on Route 43, only a corn field separated their farm houses. Both their families were among the first settlers of Hastings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once he reached her, Diane apologized, offering her hand. “I’m sorry. I know you love to take pictures. But, don’t you want to photograph the entire world?”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s been done.” David dropped her hand. “I want the world to love our town as much as we do.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“What makes you think I’d be happy in this dinky burgh?”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Dingy?”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Small. I said dinky.” Diane stretched her arms out. “I want to unfold my wings. Do something important before I die.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That’s when David got the idea he couldn’t share. “Okay,” he lied. “I promise this will be the last time you ever need to climb a flight of stairs for me to click my camera in all four directions.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“I knew I could convince you.” Diane smiled. “College will be more fun, together.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">David followed her up the stairs again. However as soon as they had both reached the landing, David lunged at her. He knocked her down against the west ledge, away from the view of any onlookers in town. For a second he wanted to turn her around to get a good look at her fear, but he decided she might survive and ruin his life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">“Let’s see how far you can fly with those important wings of yours.” </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">David watched her all the way down. In the struggling three-story fall, her body flipped over. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Diane stared right into his eyes until she hit the very hard pavement in the parking lot.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Faeries... The fae... The stuff of bedtime stories and fables. <br /><br />But sometimes the faerie tales are true. Sometimes they are a warning...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For a hundred generations the fae have been locked away from the world, in the cold, the Outside. They have faded out of sight and mind, into myth and folklore. But now the barriers are weakening and they push against the tattered remnants of the Wyrde as they seek a way to return.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />As a new religion spreads across the world, sweeping the old ways and beliefs away before it, a warlike people look across the frozen ocean towards the shores of Anlan, hungry for new lands. War is coming, even as the Wyrde of the Droos is fading. <br /><br />As the fae begin to force their way through the shreds of the Wyrde, will mankind be able to accept the truth concealed in the tales of children in time to prepare for the Wild Hunt?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Graham Austin-King began his writing with children's stories to entertain his children when walking them to and from school. When he started getting demands to repeat the same story over and over again he decided to write them down.<br /><br /><b><i> Liam and the Grump</i></b> was soon followed by <b><i>Captain Pegleg and the Greatest Treasure</i></b>.<br /><br />Fantasy is the genre which has always appealed to him, a result of reading too many books and playing too many roleplaying games and computer games. Having weaned himself on Tolkein he cut his teeth on David Eddings and Raymond E. Feist.<br /><br />Finally the keyboard beckoned, there were worlds to create.<br /><br />Graham lives in Kent in England with his wife and three younger children. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783745645756278584.post-11390203525479454382016-02-24T05:00:00.000-05:002016-03-07T12:06:48.490-05:00The Dragon Ring #Fantasy by Maggie Secara<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">When the King of Faerie calls in a favor, what can you do? Follow your gift. Find the magic. Travel in time. Save the world... How hard can it be?</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Reality TV host Ben Harper has a problem: he owes the king of Faerie a favor. So now he has to track down the three parts of a Viking arm-ring, and return them to their place in time. This takes him through the wolf-haunted forests of Viking Age Wessex, the rowdy back streets of Shakespeare’s London, and a derelict Georgian country house. Partnered with caustic, shape-changing Raven and guided by a slightly wacky goblin diary, Ben must rediscover his own gifts while facing his doubts and the queen of Faerie’s minions, who will do anything to stop him.<br /><br /><b><i>The Dragon Ring</i></b>, the first in the Harper Errant series, is a time travelling epic adventure which takes you to Old England, and beyond.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
<br />Maggie Secara is a technical writer by trade, which just proves that you can, too, make a living with a Masters in English. A not-quite-native of California, she has traveled in Great Britain and Ireland, but not nearly as many places as she’d like to. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Maggie started writing poetry at the tender age of 8, but began her story-telling adventures sometime in junior high school with a Robin Hood saga she promises never to reveal. Her long interest in history and many years of involvement in the Renaissance Pleasure Faire and Society for Creative Anachronism have all contributed to her writing, in more ways than one! Initially a handbook for members of her guild at the Faire, A Compendium of Common Knowledge 1558-1603 was established as a <a href="http://ad1558/">website </a>in 1998, and finally released in book form in 2008. A second edition is being prepared for release in autumn, 2011. Her love of history and heroics have culminated in a series of fantasy novels, coming soon to a Faerie world near you. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Maggie and JimDear, her very understanding husband, live with their cats in cozy suburban splendor in North Hollywood, California.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It hadn't seemed possible that a president whose policies had impoverished millions could be reelected. It was the waning years of the American empire and the liberties represented in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were a fading memory. The government monitored every aspect of American life, and the drones buzzing overhead served as a constant reminder, but it was the government's reckless spending that brought the nation to its knees. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Now, the economy is in ruin, and the president's European style welfare state stands at the brink of collapse. The United States is unable to repay its debts. China has come seeking payment in real assets, and they mean business. Chaos reigns; power has been cut; select cities have been decimated by nuclear bombs; and burned out houses occupy neighborhoods like rotting teeth in the mouth of a crack addict. What was new is now old and what was old is now new again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Cliffson Lang's son attempts to escape the fires and mobs overrunning the city of Seattle. When Cliffson is called away to help, his other son is kidnapped by occupying forces and placed in a work camp. Truth's Blood is the Lang family's story of survival at a time when government dependency must be replaced by self-reliance. As the United States experiences the disintegration of society and foreign occupation, their challenge verges on the impossible.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A well-known police acquaintance asks Jason Dark to discreetly look into the case of a missing Chief Constable, which is out of Scotland Yard’s jurisdiction. When Dark and Siu Lin arrive in Swanage, however, they find that the quaint English seaside village hides more than its share of horrible secrets. “Ghosts Templar” is filled with ruined castles, ghostly hoof beats in the night, and a series of macabre murders, which swirl amidst rumors that undead knights have awakened to exact a bloody revenge. Investigate if you dare.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, my work has been varied. I have been working for over 25 years in the computer games industry and have been part of the development a number of award-winning games, including the “Realms of Arkania” series, “Fallout 2” and“Planescape: Torment” to name just a few.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, of course, there are the mobile games I programmed and released. In fact, we are currently preparing the launch of a new mobile game to hit Verizon soon, so keep your eyes peeled. I’ll report more on this here on the blog as things develop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am also an accomplished musician and composer. I am a guitarist at heart and have played in heavy metal bands for many years during the 80s. Unfortunately technology wasn’t nearly as advanced in those days as it is today so sadly there is little material available to document this era or the work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Later I branched out from the guitar and took an interest in orchestral scoring and I have recorded and released two audio CDs featuring the soundtracks for the computer games “Star Trail” and “Shadows Over Riva.” I loved working on these orchestral scores because they really forced me to expand my musical horizon and gave me the chance to work with different textures and musical themes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition, my wife Thu-Lieu and I have been operating the website <a href="http://www.dvdreview.com/" target="_blank">dvdreview.com</a> since the first inception of DVD in 1998. So, for the past 16 years I’ve been covering the entertainment industry and have been writing reviews for DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs for hundreds of movies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the past years my main focus has been my writing. As you are certainly aware, I am the creator and writer of the <a href="http://www.jasondarkseries.com/" target="_blank">“Jason Dark: Ghost Hunter”</a> dime novel series that I also publish through my own publishing company, G3 Studios. The series has been a wonderful outlet for me as I have been wanting to write for many, many years. While writing non-linear fiction for computer games like the text adventures and role-playing games I’ve been doing over the years is fun, I had always wanted to write something resembling a novel. The “Jason Dark: Ghost Hunter” series is that. A fast-paced supernatural action-mystery series that allows me to explore various horror-based themes and pack them into occult detective mysteries and salt it with a good dose of Steampunk. In essence, it contains everything I love—plus I based the series in Victorian England, which to me is the epitome of all things gothic horror.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">New York, 1926‒Anyone can make a good life for themselves if they are just willing to work hard for it. William Barker is such a man. He has a good job, a nice house, a son named James, and a marriage he is trying desperately to hold together. A tragic accident takes this life away and William finds himself alone in his house with terrible mental and physical scars that are a constant reminder of what happened.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />With no one willing to employ a man with such visible and disturbing scars, William is lost and has no answers for how to live his life. That is when he meets the man who will change that life forever, Roland Skelton, the owner of Skelton’s Spectacular Traveling Carnival. Where others saw a man to be shunned, Roland sees a man he may be able to help. <br /><br />Roland convinces William to join the Carnival as the headliner of the ten-in-one. With the name ‘Frankenstein’s Monster,’ William is a hit with the paying audience and finds that being onstage is a release from his pain and guilt. In time, William realizes that those he works with understand him better than he could have hoped.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">While working at the carnival, William finds a new happiness, an enemy, purpose, and even love. The Man Who Became Frankenstein’s Monster is a moving novel about a man who rises above adversity set against the backdrop of the golden age of the carnival.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

I tend to write the stories I want to hear and sometimes those stories have a darkness to them on some level whether they are more suspenseful stories or straight up drama. I like to jump around the genres because I do not want to get bored writing the same thing and because I have eclectic taste. </div>

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "folks light"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">After several numbers, Kyran led me back to our table and offered to bring me a bottle of water. As he walked away, I couldn’t help but stare at his tall form. Kyran was stunning. I never got tired of complimenting him, even if I never actually said it aloud. As he made his way toward the counter, women turned to ogle him. Women with dates still stopped to stare at him, much to the disapproval of the men standing beside them. For a fleeting moment, I couldn’t help but feel pleased having him as my date. He was quite possibly the most handsome guy in the entire café. </span></div>
<br style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Folks Light'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "folks light"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">As I continued to wait for Kyran to return, I fanned my face with one hand, trying to cool myself down. It was incredibly hot inside the crowded room and I was beginning to sweat. I’d danced so much I had become tired and my feet started hurting. Oddly enough, Kyran hadn’t so much as broken a sweat. </span><br />
<br style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Folks Light'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "folks light"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">The band began to play their last song for the night when I felt Kyran lightly touch my arm. I looked up to see him offering me an ice-cold bottle of water. Relieved, I took the bottle and opened it. The water felt good as it traveled down my throat, and I nearly swallowed half the bottle in one gulp. Embarrassed, I glanced over at Kyran. He didn’t appear to notice, since he was watching the band. He sat so close I could feel the warmth emanating from his body. </span><br />
<br style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Folks Light'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "folks light"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Wasn’t he hot? He was wearing a jacket and I wasn’t. I was hot and sweaty, but he wasn’t. Not only were Kyran’s mood swings completely unpredictable but so, apparently, were the sudden changes in his body temperature. It all seemed so strange to me, but I kept all comments and questions to myself. </span><br />
<br style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Folks Light'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "folks light"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Kyran’s gaze turned from the band back to me and I smiled as he glanced my way. My heart leapt inside my chest when he removed a stray lock of hair from my face and tucked it behind my ear. His hand caressed my cheek, leaving an imprint wherever it touched. I leaned against his hand as it moved up and down my face, drowning in the feel of it. The music was still going, the room was still dark, but none of that mattered as Kyran and I felt like the only two people in the otherwise filled café. When Kyran leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine, I felt a sudden bolt of energy run right through me. It was the most unbelievably pleasant experience I’d ever had by far. His lips sought mine and I returned the caress. My ears became deaf to anything but the loud pounding of my heart. </span><br />
<br style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Folks Light'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "folks light"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Kyran’s hand shifted from my cheek to the back of my head, bringing my face closer to his, and therefore having a better angle to kiss me. I didn’t resist; if anything I returned his kiss with as much hunger as he was kissing me. I found myself bunching my fists in his shirt and bringing him down toward me. It was a sweet and passionate kiss, far better than I had imagined. My body buzzed all over and my hands itched to touch and explore him. The kiss ended abruptly when we heard the music die down and many people started to cheer for the amazing band. Embarrassingly, up to that point I hadn’t even bothered to ask what the band’s name was. Self-consciously, we glanced around to see if anyone had noticed our brief lapse, but apparently no one had. Not a single person was paying any attention to us.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
For months, the Continent has been mired in a devastating war: artillery barrages lasting days, the death rattle of machine guns, toxic chemical gas, futile charges across no-man’s-land toward enemy trenches. Caryn Hallom, the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Deugan and the first woman to have achieved such a powerful position in the fledgling democracy, is horrified that she failed to prevent the war from breaking out on her watch.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When Caryn finds herself trapped together with Michael Ravencliffe, a member of the royal family of Deugan’s main enemy in the war, she seizes on the opportunity to try to negotiate an end to the fighting. Little does she know that a new faction is about to enter the conflict, armed with a frightening magical weapon … or that it will be led by the one person on the Continent who knows the truth about Caryn’s past.</div>

Gateways has been described as a fantasy novel that reads like historical fiction. Set in an alternate world that resembles Europe during the First World War, the novel combines geopolitics with plots, counterplots and magic, and ultimately asks the question: how far are we prepared to go for peace?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve been writing as a hobby since, at the age of four, I penned an epic about my then-favourite sport, the charmingly mis-spelled “baceball.” I’m more of a basketball fan these days, but I have kept up my love for writing throughout.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />I live in Toronto, Canada, or as we Torontonians like to call it, “the centre of the universe.” I’m just joking about that … mostly. I’m writing a novel at the moment in which the main character hates Toronto, so that’s been a bit of a challenge. At one point she describes it as a “frenetic smogscape.” To each her own, I suppose.<br /><br />In my day job, I work as a labour and employment lawyer with Bernardi Human Resource Law (visit us at <a href="http://www.hrlawyers.ca/" target="_blank">www.hrlawyers.ca</a>). I practice labour and employment law, which I think is fascinating and covers everything from union certifications to human rights issues, employment contracts to severance packages, and court and tribunal work to harassment investigations.<br /><br />Outside of work, while I’m less enamoured than I once was with “baceball,” I’ve replaced it with a hobby and passion that I find even more creative, exciting, and easy to spell: swing dancing.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Darkness is beguiling…and power always comes with a price.<br /><br />Adopted by loving parents, David Corbin had no idea his life was a lie. Then he met a girl. Abby Brown freed David from the spell keeping him from the truth, that he was the lost heir to the throne in a magical realm.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Even though he got the girl and gained a kingdom, David had no clue about the unfathomable power he would inherit, nor did he realize how much he would have to sacrifice to keep the throne.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If there is any hope of winning the war against the deadly Kruorumbrae, David and Abby will have to journey to the outer edges of the realm to secure the loyalty of the four Oracles. Along the way, they will learn just how seductive darkness can be.</span><br />

<i style="font-size: x-large;">Book two of The Triton Experiment</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Intergalactic mercenary Kat Darah has been ordered to keep her shape-shifting ability a secret from everyone but those closest to her, for her own safety. She’s learned how to control the feral rage…for the most part. But when Lieutenant Rygard’s military unit goes missing, she’ll use every skill she has to find her man.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Lt. Christopher Rygard has witnessed his girl shift, and he still wants her. After Kat rescues him from alien clutches, he’d like nothing more than to wrap her in his arms again, but his first duty is to his men. And half of them have been shipped off-planet to be sold as slaves.<br /><br />Kat and Rygard will need to form a new team to go deep undercover, posing as gladiators and learning to fight together in order to survive. In the arena, it’s all about who is the strongest predator…<br /><br />See how it all began in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hunting-Kat-Triton-Experiment-Schnyder-ebook/dp/B005078OME/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1386870400&sr=1-1&keywords=Hunting+Kat+schnyder">Hunting Kat</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>On Love Triangles...and Why There Isn't One</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the first things I was asked when I turned in Fighting Kat was whether Bharguest was intended to be a love interest for Kaitlyn.</span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nope.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bharguest has a very important role to play, but not as a lover. Actually *shudder*Bharguest as a lover is kind of creepy. Also likely to have a low chance of survival attached to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To be honest, I'm not big into love triangles. They happen in real life, no doubt about it. And they are an agonizing conflict. But writing one into a story isn't something I've been able to do without having it come out as contrived or predictable. I haven't as yet managed to write one well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Perhaps it's because I'd want to make all the points of the triangle equally strong characters, people my readers would fall in love with. And if I succeeded, wouldn't a good portion of my readers be heart broken when two ended up together and one was left out? I'd be heartbroken for sure. And that wasn't where I wanted to go with <b><i>Fighting Kat</i></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So no love triangle. At least not yet. And I haven't decided if there will be one in the future of the Triton Experiment series. But...Kaitlyn and Rygard have enough challenges to face already. I'm not convinced a love triangle has to be one of them.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Rell has lived in the Shadow World for thirteen years as a Demon Bane, the formerly vivacious young woman now the demonic enemy of the immortal Bringers. But when she is given the chance to become human again—and a full-powered Bringer—Rell isn’t sure if it’s better to be a demon in the Shadow World or to risk her life for her humanity.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />For two years, Siban had been tortured in the Bane prison, only to fall in love with the beautiful demon who helped him escape. Tormented by the thought of never seeing her again, he maintains a life of solitude. So, when Rell’s human body is rescued from the Shadow World, he will do anything to be with her—even if it means challenging death to become a Bringer, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">But once their Bringer transformations and training are completed, Siban and Rell must join a mission to go deep in the Shadow World to rescue others trapped by the Demon Bane King. And what they discover destroys everything they knew about the Demon Bane. The lovers must learn to trust themselves, each other, and their new powers if they’re going to make it out alive.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boone Brux’s writing drips with experiences from real life. Addicted to anything that might make a good story, she weaves tales ranging from dark fantasy to humorous romance. Settled in the icy regions of Alaska with the love of her life and twin daughters, it’s not uncommon to find her tapping away on her iPad on a windy beach or the barren tundra. Be warned, everyone is fodder for one of Boone’s novels.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Luc Lazare doesn’t need more complications in his life. And Skye Cross, the intriguing woman able to communicate with animals, is the last thing he wants. Too bad his body disagrees. But he’s trying to save his shapeshifting family from being forced into the battle arena, and that means protecting the shifters responsible for stealing Skye’s brother’s soul. Even as she demands his help, he’ll have to resist the pull of temptation.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Skye’s most recent animal rescue assignment involves saving canines involved in primal battles. Her investigation leads her to Luc, a man whose powers unsettle but intrigue her. Luc lures her into a dark encounter, and realizes that the animals engaging in these battles aren’t dogs at all, they’re wild predators. Skye finds herself caught in a dangerous world she never knew existed while relying on a man she couldn’t possibly trust.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />In a world where everything–and nothing–is as it seems, can Luc and Skye find a way to overcome the odds that are destined to keep them apart?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dark hair whipped around features so rugged they could have been cut from granite. High cheekbones. Broad forehead. Square chin. His eyes appeared silver in the moonlight, and they glowed at me, tightening my stomach and making it hard to breathe.</span></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Trembling, I gasped, “What just happened?”<br /><br />“You got into something that doesn’t concern you.” <i>Forget about it.</i><br /><br />I started. He hadn’t said the last bit out loud. There was something about him so powerful that I almost agreed.<br /><br />I fought the desire to give in, saying, “I’m not forgetting about anything. Who are you?”<br /><br />I felt as if he were trying to push the command into my mind.<br /><br />Glaring at him, I pushed back.<br /><br />“What are you?” he asked.<br /><br />“Someone who protects animals.”<br /><br />His silence told me that wasn’t exactly the explanation he was looking for. My pulse threaded unevenly as he stepped closer. I sensed both threat and something less tangible, something that made my stomach knot and my throat tighten. I’d always had a psychic connection not only with animals, but with my brother. No one else. Not until now. And this guy being able to mess with my mind went beyond any previous experience I’d had.<br /><br />“Did you have something to do with the fight?” I gasped. “Where did those predators come from? What kind of power do you have over them?” It had to be something supernatural.<br /><br />He stepped closer, and I sucked in a breath as his power cut through me, speeding my pulse, drying my mouth.<br /><br />“You need to forget about them, Skye.”<br /><br />This time he said it aloud. And he used my name.<br /><br />“How do you know who I am?” I demanded, my heart beating so fast I could feel it bump up against my ribs. “What were you doing here? Who are you?”<br /><br />Rather than answering my questions, he reached out and slid a palm along my cheek. The touch seared me, reminding me of the time I’d inadvertently touched a live wire. Wanting to move, wanting to run, I stood frozen instead. He was so close, I imagined I could feel the heat of his body as he splayed fingers around the side of my head. My insides trembled and my breasts felt full and tight.<br /><br />What was wrong with me? Why couldn’t I move? Or speak?<br /><br /><i>You never saw me. You’ll forget about me the moment I disappear.</i><br /><br />Every fiber of my being longed to do what he wanted. But something in me, the thing that made me do what I do, was stronger.<br /><br />“Disappear to where?” I demanded through a parched throat when I finally found my voice. “I have an excellent memory.”<br /><br />Appearing frustrated that I’d been able to hear the silent command, he dropped his hand. “What areyou?” he asked again.</span><br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><i>It’s All About the Animals: African Wild Dogs</i></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Okay, I admit it. I’ve given the African Wild Dog a bad rep. They’re deadly predator-shapeshifters in <b><i><u>ANIMAL INSTINCTS</u></i></b>.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />In real life, African wild dogs are very social animals, the world’s second largest wild canid (the gray wolf is larger), adults weighing 40-79 pounds. Packs led by a monogamous alpha male and female breeding pair share food and assist weak or sickly companions. The entire pack cares for the pups delivered by the alpha female.<br /><br />African wild dogs also hunt cooperatively, in packs of 6 to 20 animals. They hunt antelopes and larger prey such as wildebeests, but also eat rodents and birds. Dominance is established without bloodshed – they form a hierarchy based on submission rather than dominance. Even over food, they will beg rather than fight.<br /><br />Endangered, African wild dogs have shrinking territory and are susceptible to diseases of domestic animals.<br /><br />Here’s information about wild dog conservation: <a href="http://www.painteddog.org/">http://www.painteddog.org/</a><br /><br />The holidays from Thanksgiving to the New Year is a time of giving, and I’m hoping that this year, those of you who can will support an animal shelter or sanctuary or zoo, whether it is by volunteering, buying gifts that help the organization or by donation. Here are a couple of places that I support:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pawschicago.org/">PAWS Chicago</a>, with it’s adoption center, spay and neuter clinic, and at the forefront of animal advocacy.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lpzoo.org/">Lincoln Park Zoo</a>, one of the last free zoos in the country.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.humanesociety.org/">Humane Society of the United States</a>, the nation’s largest animal protection organization. <br /><br />Tell us about your pet or an animal story that will make us smile.<br /><br />Happy holidays!</span></div>

Kayden, a lone were-leopard allied with the London werewolf pack to keep the zombie infestation in check, is used to working solo—until he discovers a beautiful fae woman surrounded by the aftermath of battle. He’s immediately drawn to Sorcha, but quickly discovers she’s much more than a pretty face.<br />
<br />
Half Bean Sidhe and half berserker, Sorcha trained over centuries to become the perfect warrior. She agrees to work with local weres to investigate a new type of zombie capable of coordinated attacks—and is partnered with Kayden. He’s strong, darkly handsome and completely unafraid of her. And his kiss fills her with insatiable desire instead of bloodlust.<br />
<br />
As Kayden and Sorcha work together, their attraction grows and their deepest scars are bared to each other. But with the force behind the deadly new zombies poised to overwhelm the city, Sorcha can only pray that the next time her bloodlust strikes, Kayden isn’t among the fallen…<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Chapter One</div>
<br />
Sorcha ran.<br />
<br />
Taking the Serpentine bridge helped speed her along, man-made though it was. Crossing running water posed no deterrent for her. Others of fae blood might have paused in the hunt, but the zombies shambling through the bare trees in these parks were not her quarry.<br />
<br />
No. Pursuit was not her purpose. Rescue was. The feeling of wrongness, the taint of spoiled magic, worsened as she crossed from Hyde Park into the Kensington Gardens. Perhaps the lake separating the two parks kept some of it from spreading. What humans called the Long Water remained relatively clean of the pall of death exuding from the land.<br />
<br />
The trees in Kensington Gardens were bare skeletons this deep into winter in London—sleeping, but restless, tugging at her heart. Would the trees be too sickened to bring forth new life after their roots had bathed in blood? Parks like these provided sanctuary for the lesser fae and Fair Folk living in cities such as London. Without them, the fae who’d made the city their home, braved cold iron, would fade. And for every city lost, the Under Hill shrank as well.<br />
<br />
Even if mortals ruled the world, the fae needed to maintain a presence in order to keep the balance of things or their world would fade from existence. She’d been sent to investigate why the fae of London were disappearing, and she’d found death walking. Stupid humans, coming in after dark, to hunt and be overwhelmed, to loot and be taken by surprise. Perhaps such short lives made for stunted memories. Though the zombies found prey too often in these gardens, the humans kept coming. She didn’t Sing for those, the ones who’d done humanity a favor by taking themselves out of the gene pool.<br />
<br />
No. Her Songs aided the passing of worthier souls. A tortured cry rang out in the night, sending ripples through the magic saturating the land, tainted as it was. She ran harder. Perhaps she could be savior this time, and not simply witness to death.<br />
<br />
The zombies were gathering, called not only by the sounds of struggle, but also by the disturbance. Like sharks drawn to an injured fish in water, it was as if the zombies could sense easy prey. Unnatural as they were, she’d no doubt zombies were animated at least in part by magic of some kind. The parks used to be the reservoirs of old magic in the city. They’d become death traps.<br />
<br />
As she broke through the trees, a brownie stood atop a mound in the children’s playground, a curved dome with tunnels for children to crawl through in play. Good that he’d chosen higher ground, bad that he’d allowed himself to be surrounded away from any trees or route of escape. Maybe the mound had reminded him of a hollowed hill, the way the tunnels led beneath it.<br />
<br />
Gentle in nature, brownies like him tended places and buildings, their magic sympathetic to home and hearth. They weren’t bred to fighting, weren’t trained as soldiers the way she’d been. While he could turn boggart and create minor havoc, he wasn’t meant for true violence and was no match for the dead trying to eat him. But she was.<br />
<br />
Red haze encroached on her vision. Sorcha reached for her swords, drawing them free without slowing her pace, embracing the sweet song of savagery rising in her blood.<br />
<br />

<b>Training Ideas for an Upcoming Apocalypse</b></div>
<br />
We’ve wondered what we’d do in an apocalypse. We’ve watched movies. But did we ever really wonder how we’d manage? I’ve been in the midst of a few fun activities with friends and thought to myself, hey, this is good training for an apocalypse. Random, I know. But worth thinking about, maybe.<br />
<br />
● Batting Practice. Swing a bat at a softball. How’s your aim? Could come in handy for various self defense reasons depending on the type of apocalypse. Just saying. <br />
<br />
● Manhunt. Did you ever play this as a kid? Running around, sometimes in the dark. Jumping from bench to bench and climbing walls or fences? Evading enemies and/or predators is important in an apocalypse. Again, not as easy as when we were kids.<br />
<br />
● Hide and Seek. Finding shelter and laying low are two very valuable skills in an apocalypse. How good are you at it?<br />
<br />
Sorcha and Kayden in Sing for the Dead are very ready and able to face the horrors of a zombie apocalypse. Their training was a lot different from this but hey, we work with what opportunities present themselves.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt=";)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://buythebooktours.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Goudy Bookletter 1911'; font-size: 14px; height: auto; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: none; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />“Well, tell me my fortune then. What do you see?” he asked in a sharp nasally voice.<br /><br />Janice stared at the man who sat opposite her. He had pinched features and thinning greasy hair parted just above his ear and swept over the top of his head. Nothing about him was unusual. He would easily fade into a crowd, yet there was something about him that made her flesh creep.<br /><br />One of her clients had recommended him and, although that strange voice of his had echoed down the phone, he had seemed reasonable. Well, as reasonable as one could tell from a telephone conversation. She had told him the fee and he had agreed, so she gave him a time and a date and wrote it in her diary. Now facing him, she wished she hadn’t let him into her house.<br /><br />She glanced down at the pack of cards in her hand and began to shuffle them. Her reluctance to read for him was growing with every moment that passed.<br /><br />Be careful what you say. He’s dangerous, warned the voice. You’ll see, the cards will show you. We’ll read them together, but say<br />nothing.<br /><br />“What are you waiting for? You’re a fortune-teller, aren’t you?” He pressed his thin lips together.<br /><br />Janice continued to shuffle the cards. Who are you? What are you? She asked silently as she flipped over the first card. The Devil.</span><br />

Shannon Hunter, an eco-terrorist member of the elusive Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) discovers real elves bent on more than petty sabotage...<br />
<div>
<br />
Plunged into the a world teeming with magic she never really imagined to exist, Shannon discovers the terrible reality left to both Mankind and herself. The Elves have decreed - "Mankind stands upon its own terminus, heedless of ruin" - and its high time the real protectors of nature strike back.</div>
<div>
<br />
The only person able to do anything to prevent a supernatural war mankind cannot hope to fight; Shannon must find a way to overcome her misanthropic ways, and prevent the Elves from making a mistake that threatens not only Mankind but all life on earth.<br />
<br />
The contemporary fairy tale, "E.L.F." is set in a dystopian vein, somewhat akin to the Harry Bates' classic, "The Day the Earth Stood Still", only fantasy, not Sci-fi, and with far more epic action.<br />

<br />
Utter tranquility wrapped about her as her bare feet settled amidst moist grasses, the softest she’d ever felt. The air was cool and smelled of pollens and perfumes she couldn’t even begin to identify. The canopy far overhead obscured what should have been moonlight and blocked away the stars entirely. Yet there was a light of some sort, emanating from beyond the trunk of a tree so great in girth it could have dwarfed the great sequoia or redwoods. <br />
<br />
She gaped in awe as fireflies and other ethereal, luminous insects flitted lazily. <br />
<br />
“Welcome to the Veil of the Leaf’s Edge,” Athaem spoke softly at her back. <br />
<br />
Slowly a smile slipped onto her youthful features. <br />
<br />
…This place was utterly magical…<br />

<div style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
I once had a discussion with a romance author who raised an interesting question, and I’m here to address it today.<br />
<br />
The topic, Sex! <br />
<br />
Yes, let’s get steamy for a minute, and talk about our most private of fantasies! <br />
<br />
…Kidding… <br />
<br />
Let’s not. <br />
<br />
(Had you going though, didn’t I?) <br />
<br />
Let’s be more specific. <br />
<br />
…Sexuality in Fantasy novels. <br />
<br />
There are a healthy many books out there which deal with the topic of sexual fantasy. We call them erotica and romance novels. <br />
<br />
50 Shades, anyone? <br />
<br />
There are also many urban and dark fantasies, which orbit heavily around young love, romance, and the oft-expressed or implied sexual fantasy of ultimately making love to a higher (or deader) being than our mortal human selves. <br />
<br />
But we noticed in our talk, a peculiar occurrence, or more accurately; lack of occurrence in traditional classical high-fantasy epics. <br />
<br />
We plied each other with the question, why? Why is sex NOT more prevalent in high fantasy epics, and why are most traditionalist fantasy authors seemingly somewhat shy of the topic altogether? <br />
<br />
After all, it’s fantasy! It all is! <br />
<br />
Most often, when I see a potential sex scene (which, frankly, I’m hoping does occur for the characters because while I’m reading them I’m on their side, and hell yeah I want them to get together, if the author is doing his or her job making me like them); the authors hold back, and we end up with the whole “camera pans to curtains” or “fade to black, end scene” type of mechanisms which simply imply sex occurs in that moment. <br />
<br />
There are any number of reasons why authors may write this way, but I’m here to offer the reasons for why I might choose to write this way, or not. <br />
<br />
Case in point would be my debut, E.L.F. - White Leaves. <br />
<br />
Now, I’m not saying sex even occurs in this story. I’m not saying it won’t in the future volumes, or if it does, whether or not it will be omitted, implied, or detailed (or if that detail will be graphic). <br />
<br />
I’m simply saying sexuality is a matter of importance in fantasy. <br />
<br />
After all, again, it’s fantasy! Anything can and will happen! And the ultimate fantasy often is the juiciest of them all. Moreover, love is often a powerful theme in many epic fantasies, and sex is a part of love, is it not? Not always, but much of the time it’s there; a splinter waiting to be plucked. <br />
<br />
For me, there are several reasons why I would or would not implement depiction of a sex scene in a fantasy novel. <br />
<br />
Firstly, most obviously, there is the power of sex and how well it sells. People love sex. We just do. It’s part of our genetic existence. Procreate, perpetuate the species, survive, leave a legacy… and have fun doing it!? <br />
<br />
Sold! <br />
<br />
That’s a pretty strong reason to use sex and not to gloss over it like so much filler. <br />
<br />
Adversely, though, there is a high degree of imagination at work within a reader. There is a transfer taking place, and a connection being made. If you omit the sexual acts that take place, you’re allowing the reader’s imagination to do that work for you. They may love or hate your for that. <br />
<br />
So let’s move on. <br />
<br />
Secondly, into that notion of connection (between yourself as an author and your reader). <br />
<br />
Perhaps many authors who use implied sex are simply uncomfortable with sharing that aspect of themselves with their readers. Many in this day and age yet believe that sex is sacred. I happen to agree with that paradigm. Sex is valuable to the soul and emotions, the body and the mind. It is important in any relationship on that level of loving nature. <br />
<br />
So, perhaps with sex being sacred to us we refuse to connect with just anyone on that level. Our fantasy is limited by our devotion to its utmost value. And if we only imply sexuality, it is a place for you, the reader, to explore your own and learn something about yourself instead of experiencing ours. We’re then creating a boundary between us, if you think about it. But in doing so, we’re giving you more of yourself. <br />
<br />
Beyond this, there is also the notion with many high fantasies that sex is not very important to the plot. Many fantasies of higher-minded intellectual motive and connection on any number of topics and matters important to the author’s messages, tend to imply sex rather than wield it. I feel this is because they’re simply telling a story that ultimately has something very important to say. <br />
<br />
There’s more important things in life than sex, the author is telling you. Get your mind out of the gutter. <br />
<br />
Utilizing sex in this sort of story will only detract from its message and cheapen its importance, despite the fact that mr. and mrs. protagonist simply must have sex in order to complicate the story in just the right way. <br />
<br />
Now, E.L.F. does wield some sexuality, but it’s in very subtle ways. Why is this? <br />
<br />
And what’s stopping me from opening that can and giving readers that tasty morsel? <br />
<br />
I’d like to think it’s a combination of the reasons above. <br />
<br />
E.L.F. is very much a story of morals, as any fairytale should be. Sex might only detract from what it’s meant to tell you about our world. But also, sex, invaluable to my person, is not something I’m going to share with just anyone. It is… special to me. I was raised old fashioned in a lot of ways, so I maintain that sense of heart. <br />
<br />
However, there is yet another dimension to take into consideration. <br />
<br />
And that is sex as an integral plot device, as briefly mentioned just above. <br />
<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Protagonist must have it! Why? Because they’re living breathing characters thrown into the mix together and the stars align in just such a way as to let their baser animal desires or higher sentimental selves freely express their connection to one another. It is here that I’ve noticed more classical high fantasies will actually go forth to ‘divide and conquer’ as they say, and actually detail their sexual encounters. <br />
<br />
While the question still prevails, whether or not to use a more explicit sexual fantasy scene, I’ve noticed that some authors who might not otherwise be prone to such scenes will go for it if it happens to be a device to complicate what’s at stake for the characters, or the scenario requires such things as consummation of love, or a deflowering must take place, or perhaps if there are consequences for doing so. <br />
<br />
I believe this is due to some need to validate the use of such scenes. That is to say, so the author can feel comfortable with such a scene being used in their book at all without feeling as though they’ve crossed some sort of taboo line. I say this because for some reason, the reason I’m even writing this article, there seems to be this strange taboo about wielding more detailed sex scenes in fantasy, and I’m still not sure why. <br />
<br />
Maybe I’m just not well read enough to have seen it enough times to realize it’s quite a bit more common than this article would suggest. Or maybe it’s that traditional genre fantasy is just meant for a wide range of ages and its better to just keep it PG rated. <br />
<br />
I just feel like there’s more to it than such simple answers. There are just so many things to take into consideration. <br />
<br />
For example, yet another aspect of sexuality in fantasy; general sexual tension between characters. This use of sex is quite common and dynamic. I see it frequently enough to realize the authors are wise to the phenomenon that omits detailed sexual acts from a fantasy story, and they’re actively exploiting the fact that a sexy supporting character, female(who probably wears far too little armor for right battle) is totally crushing on the resident male hero, or vice versa. These authors, I think, are cruising a fine line intentionally; giving us the thrill that comes along with sexual conquests in all their forms without actually giving us anything except our own imaginations. <br />
<br />
To illustrate; sexual tension clearly exists between Shan and Deh from “E.L.F.”, but it’s also atypical, in that it appears to be decidedly one-sided (at least for now with book one, White Leaves). <br />
<br />
Will it result in future books in the E.L.F. series as consummation of their love? Will it be graphic or glossed over and implied? Or will it simply never happen; as within real life, where many times we can experience connections that never go anywhere and never happen for one reason or another. <br />
<br />
I won’t intentionally pull any punches in writing, so I’m not afraid to write such a scene. But I won’t also blatantly bludgeon you over the head with sexuality in any of my works without first considering how it best helps the story. I can honestly answer those questions with -“I simply have no idea.” But that’s the beauty of it. It all unfolds according to what’s right for the story and what feels natural. <br />
<br />
Either way, implied or graphic, I don’t think high fantasy should have to exclude sex to be taken seriously. Sex is natural, for one. But its also ultimately fantasy-oriented in a great many ways, so it should belong. Just realize it’s use affects your target market. <br />
<br />
I’d say, embrace sexuality, write honestly what you’re seeing play out between your characters. Consider the mood and setting and all that it means for your characters, then write it. Only you can know how it fits naturally, and to what level it should be taken. <br />
<br />
Just don’t wield it brazenly where it ought not go.<br />

Born in the Midwest, I share my birthday with Leonardo Da Vinci, and seem to share a bit of that creative monster's spirit.<br />
<br />
I paint, draw, write, sculpt, and more.<br />
I'm extremely prolific when I don't have life and day-jobs tying me down.<br />
<br />
I published my debut novel, E.L.F. vol. 1, White Leaves, July 1st, 2013, and hope to release the sequel, Blighted Leaves, sometime early/mid 2014.<br />
<br />
White Leaves is currently available at all major online retailers in both print-paperback and eBook forms.<br />
<br />
I do my own cover-art, book-trailers, formatting, and marketing.<br />
It's tough, but a thoroughly engaging ride.<br />
<br />
I've also done logo, cover art, and animations for local Seattle area musicians, other musicians elsewhere, luthiers, videographers, authors, and retailers.<br />
