(Giveaway)<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Some people will always subscribe to the “any publicity is
good publicity” mindset, but I’ve been on the receiving end of some of the
nastier notice a book can get from time to time, and I don’t believe for a
moment that all publicity helps gets a product or a person noticed. What it
does do is taint a book, or an author, and leave them wondering what the hell
they ever did to warrant the attack that is often like a train bearing down on
them without warning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Years ago I published a story that was mainly fantasy
action, using the mythical aspects of ninja legends and the mysterious
cinematic presence that has made them popular over the years. I consulted a
couple of martial arts people who area also attached to the entertainment
industry, and we generally agreed that in a book that is being marketed as a
romantic fantasy type of story, creative license is certainly the order of the
day. Much to my surprise, it was that approval from experts that pretty much
incited another author to literally become a stalker and bully for several
days. I won’t name the person, any more than I would accede to his demands for
my “sources” when writing and researching the story. The insanity that followed my posting
a review I found amusing led to so much vitriol it still stuns me over a half dozen years later.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The original publisher is now defunct, and earlier this
year, Crimson Frost Books decided to reprint a new and improved version of the
tale. The name remains the same, and the story is still what it was meant to
be, part thriller, and part erotic romance. It’s a hot little story that was generally
well received by the audience who recognized it for what it was meant to be–a bit
of escapist fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We’ve seen a lot written about not engaging in abuse and
stalking down people on the internet, and that seems to be falling by the
wayside so much more nowadays. Reviewers and authors alike seem to think it’s
okay to lash out if things aren’t the way they personally feel they should be.
I still believe silence is sometimes the best route to go, and professionals
don’t engage in pissing contests with detractors anyway. They do what they are
meant to do, continue writing and leaving the malcontents to eat themselves
alive with their personal demons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Adam Walker is one
of the Company’s best field agents, a highly trained, well-honed killing
machine when that’s what’s needed. But, he’s also a man of many secrets, and
one of them is that he’s a ninja, one of Japan’s mythical death warriors. When
another of Adam’s secrets, his lover Kiku, is killed, he turns to the one person
he trusts, fellow agent Shainna Barton. While Shainna covers for him on a
mission, Adam metes out his revenge, and discovers that his friendship with
Shainna has a much deeper meaning that either of them ever realized…<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">EXCERPT:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Adam's steps were sure and
silent as he made his way to the rear of the small theater. Exhaustion consumed
him, but the residue of rushing adrenaline afforded his body a moment of false
energy. Successful in yet another assignment—when the body turned up with the
stolen files, there'd be no questions asked. Business as usual.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Still, the timing had been
off, and there'd been no time to warn Kiku to stay at home. Uneasiness
whispered inside him again, as it had for most of the past hour. Not for the
first time during recent weeks, though . . . . He wondered if it had been wise
to reject her desire to take their relationship to a more intimate involvement.
Loving Kiku was as natural to him as breathing. But being her lover was
something he hadn't honestly considered. Not until she'd brought it to his
attention.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Why he hadn't noticed her
love changing to passion baffled him now, as he thought about it. He'd told her
intimacy of that kind would create distractions within his mind—the kind that
might one day get them both killed. She'd been skeptical, though
uncharacteristically reticent about explaining why, when he questioned her
quick acceptance of his decision.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">He thrust the doubts aside
as he reached her office and entered. As always, the closet-like room appeared
in complete chaos. An organized mess, she called it. He crossed the short space
and picked up the phone as he settled on the edge of her desk. He was about to
dial her home number when a flicker of movement drew his attention to the
small, private parking lot separating the theater from a large apartment
building next door. Adam slipped the receiver into its cradle and moved to
stand in the shadows next to the small window behind her desk.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">He spotted Kiku's nearly
naked body and he froze. Instinct guided him as fear and rage surged through
him. Reaching beyond the haze of tumultuous emotions, he drew on his training.
A careful look at Kiku told him she was dead . . . her neck broken. Again, the
flicker of shadows betrayed a presence. He waited. Seconds passed, so drawn out
by tension they felt like hours, but one-by-one he saw each figure with
striking clarity. And in that brief instant, each of the five faces was burned
indelibly into his memory. He knew one of them by name, and recognized the
others as students of Caisson's dojo. The heavy weight of the gun under his
left arm all but spoke to him the alluring suggestion to pull the weapon and
use it was so tempting. Adam had to force himself to resist using his weapon, a
task made all the more difficult when Caisson bent over Kiku and placed a
mocking kiss on her forehead.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">He tore his gaze away, no
longer trusting his ability to control his grief-enhanced rage. As he leaned
against the wall, he realized he'd been holding his breath. Slowly, he exhaled,
shaking uncontrollably despite his imposed strength of will.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">When the wracking spasms of
anguish subsided, he emerged from the theater's office and left without looking
back.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Less than half an hour
later, Adam slipped into Kiku's small flat. Like her office, it was in
disarray, although not to the same exaggerated extent. He did a thorough,
systematic search of the entire four rooms, removing every trace of his
presence in her life. The items were few, for he seldom left even the smallest
of articles behind. No photographs of them to be found, together or
individually, a house rule they'd agreed to years earlier.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Hovering in the doorway, he
took one final look at the place. It was so much like her, he thought, inhaling
the light residue of sandalwood incense in the air. Books on every subject to
satisfy her insatiable thirst for knowledge were strewn about, along with old
theater posters, exotically painted masques, and cassettes and CDs in various
languages. Despite his protestations, a map hung on the wall, dotted with
postcards from the countries they'd traveled together. He hesitated for a
moment then decided to collect the cards and destroy the map.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">When he finished, he locked
the door and turned his back on this place, too. Kiku would have expected
nothing less from him.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Shainna Barton sighed in
weariness as she kicked open the door to her apartment to drag her luggage
inside. She'd been out of the country for over a month this time, and home
seemed more appealing than she would have thought possible. She was growing
tired in more ways than one.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">A quick slam and the door
shut firmly, leaving her in the silent, air-conditioned sanctuary she'd bought
only a year before, a purchase she'd recognized as the first step toward her
accepting pending retirement from the field.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">She'd called home the night
before, and her oldest and dearest friend had opened the apartment and stocked
the cupboards for her. DeeDee Caulwell was one of the few constants in
Shainna's life. She honestly didn't know what she'd do without her.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">The phone rang. She stole a
glance at the caller ID. Dee. Shainna dropped her shoulder bag and flopped into
a chair as she grabbed the phone. The worry in DeeDee's voice hit before the
actual words, and Shainna automatically reached for the TV remote control to
turn on the news report her friend was going on about with such dread. The
reporter's words ran together as Shainna's world twisted wildly on its axis.
Her pulse roared so loud in her ears she barely heard DeeDee say she was on her
way over.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">From her window seat,
Shainna looked out at the night sky. Her chill had very little to do with the
air-conditioned air. The ice reached into her soul and expanded outward to her quivering
limbs. She wasn't prone to infatuation, never had been, but there was something
almost obsessive in her passion for Adam Walker. They were friends; the
relationship worked for them. But Shainna had realized, long ago, the hunger
she felt in Adam's company had precious little to do with being friends. If
she'd been less honest, she would have hated Kiku Shimoda, simply for being the
love in Walker's life. But Shainna was too much a realist to pretend the other
woman was the reason Adam didn't love her.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">She sighed and closed her
eyes, letting her head thump gently against the wall at her back. Adam's
amazing topaz eyes came into focus so quickly she was startled to discover he
wasn't next to her. She could feel him, though. All around her. Inside her
heart. His pain was agonizing—and total. He was out there, and by now, he knew.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"What are you going to
do, Adam?" She asked the question aloud, as was her custom when working
possible angles to a puzzle. She shivered when the answer, like a cold caress,
brushed her consciousness—a promise of mayhem and death—as if Adam had spoken
directly into her mind. They'd been connected on some level for what felt like
forever. And in that moment, she wondered if he'd actually heard her and
responded.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Before the odd thought
could create another conundrum for her to ponder, she was distracted by a knock
at the door. She crossed the room and opened the door, breathing a thankful
sigh at the sight of her friend.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"Are you all
right?"</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">She shut the door as DeeDee
glided past, shedding her coat and tossing it into a chair before she turned to
Shainna.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"I'm still trying to
take in what's happened." Shainna confessed. "This is going to
destroy Adam. Especially when he finds out what the press is reporting. I don't
even know where to find him, Dee!"</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"Maybe that's for the
best." DeeDee's features showed visible concern.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Adam Walker was always a
touchy subject between them, and the gentle censure in her friend's voice made
Shainna's temper flare.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"Okay, Shain."
DeeDee held up her hands in a gesture of surrender before Shainna had time to
snap. "Truce. Back off. What are you planning, anyway?"</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"If I know Adam, he's
going to find who did this." She paced, chewed her thumbnail, and tried to
make her brain function past her fear for the man. Kiku was the world to Adam,
and Shainna knew—via the Division grapevine—the two had been a solid couple for
some time. Whether or not the rumors were based on truth wasn't relevant to her
heart. She'd tried not to resent Kiku for Adam's lack of interest, but it
hadn't been easy when every part of her spirit and body cried for the man in
ways she wished rather to never have experienced.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"And . . . ." She
finally added. "He's going to make them pay for what they did to her—in
blood."</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"That sounds like
Adam," DeeDee agreed, her tone reflecting her dislike and her near
contempt for the man they discussed.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"Why do you hate him
so much?"</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Startled, DeeDee didn't
answer for a moment, then she laughed. "I hate what he does to you. Adam
himself means nothing to me. I know you'd walk through hell for him, and he
wouldn't have to ask you to do it. What would he do for you, Shain?"</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"The same thing if I

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"You're so certain of
that. Why?"</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"Because he's Adam.
Because what exists between us is a lot deeper than simply trusting another

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"What happened in
Italy last year?" DeeDee asked. "You've never said much, but

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">"Yeah, we took our

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.666666984558105px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello authors, editors, support staff and friends/colleagues, we are happy to announce that Frost Books, Crimson Frost and Midnight Frost Books will be hosting a blogradio show two times a month. At least that is the plan at this time. This is just in its infancy so things are subject to change and we are open to suggestions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are developing a schedule at this time. We hope it will promote us, our authors and others to the world of readers. We are excited for authors to share their stories and encourage and develop their fan base. Truth be told we wish to develop our fan base too. In doing so, we want to not only promote but to provide information and tips on editing, writing, promoting, and all other topics which impact the industry. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We will be asking our support staff… editors, artist, promoters, and bloggers to participate as well and talk about themselves and their services. Share their excitement for what they do as part of our team and without Frost Books. Our view is to promote all, to get to know each other, and to educate one another.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To get everyone’s name out. For all to benefit, either directly or indirectly. We will be inviting other publisher friends and outside authors to participate as well, especially our Beachwalk authors! But we invite any others as well. Patricia and I are published by other publishers. Sharing their news and upcoming books/ events is also our goal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our show will be 30 minutes long each time. In that time, we want the world to know about us, our authors, our author’s books and others, our friends, and anything else that excites our readers and our authors who we truly appreciate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We are aware that there are some publishers who have not been author and or reader friendly. We are not pleased with that news generally as authors and or publishers. Patricia and I are authors and readers too and we understand. We want to do all we can do to achieve success for all. No doubt, we are all learning. But this is true in any industry. Even lawyers and doctors learn while doing their jobs. I know you hate to think so, but it is often true. They do learn and they do succeed! We all want to succeed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We endeavor to be honest and communicative with our staff and authors. We searched our brains to find a way to bring us all closer and to help all. Therefore, Patricia and I came up with the idea of blogradio. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We hope you like this idea too. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you were sent this email or are reading this… We are inviting you to participate and we would like to schedule you. The interviews will be done over the phone or computer. So, you will not need to fly here to gorgeous Ohio, USA or Kamloops, BC. LOL. The world is so cool with all this tech we are close no matter where you are.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have friends who are authors self-published or with other pubs…. Let them know we would like to interview them about their books too. Spread the word! We are anxious to hear what you all think!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks so much for your time,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ciara Lake and Patricia Bates</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This will be shared on FB, twitter, and blogs. So, if you don't get email... you will get this. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Most authors these days come to the table understanding that
they now wear many hats and are expected/required to be prepared to work hard
at selling the product they bring with them. For many, especially newer authors,
the misconception is that your publisher will do your marketing and promotions,
that it is their job to sell your book. Not true, and it is doubly not true if
your first experience of publishing is with a smaller house. You’ll hear often
from seasoned pros that the real work comes after the book is written, and
you’d do well to heed those words if you’re new to the business.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My personal observation only, but one of the things I see
happening over and over is a lack of contact between authors and readers. Many
seem to be operating under the assumption that all they’re selling is books.
You put yourself at a severe disadvantage if this is your approach, believe me.
The greatest asset in your arsenal of tools as an author is you yourself. Your
book is the by-product. It’s not the other way around anymore. Readers have
access to authors all over the internet and social media–it’s the ones who
choose to interact with readers on a personal level who have the most loyal
followings, too. Thousands of readers who feel a friendship for the authors
they read because they have the chance to talk, to ask questions, to share
thoughts. NONE of that is connected to your book in real terms, it’s directly
connected to how you make yourself available to potential readers. If they feel
that you are interested in their thoughts, their observations, their opinions,
you’ll sell every book you write to those core readers who are now fans of the
author even more than the books.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Social media is as diverse as the people who use it. The
second mistake I see constantly is the reliance on Facebook as the heavyweight
marketing tool. Granted, Facebook is hugely popular, and it’s a platform that
you can use to great advantage. It’s also saturated with authors all going
after those same readers and their dollars. What I’ve observed, again, is that
many readers are weary of the endless streams of buy my books posts many make.
I am a writer and I’ve gotten to the point where if I see the same author
promoting with the same post in 100 groups, I just hide them from my newsfeed
rather than attempt to scroll along and hope I can get past all the same posts.
I’ve seen as high as 168 posts of exactly the same thing in every possible
group that author could find. It’s a worthless exercise and eats up time you
could spend in better ways. As an experiment a few months ago, I spent a small
amount of cash for a service that promised to promote my book to a minimum of
300 Facebook groups over the course of 48 hours. They sent me an assortment of
screen caps showing that it had been done–and I can tell you that not a single
copy of that well reviewed and popular book sold as a result of this Facebook
bombardment. Answered that question in my mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I used to admin a group called Book Promotions–it has over
18.5 thousand members–let me tell you, a post in a group that size is visible
for less than a minute, and the sad thing is, everyone wants to post in hopes
of selling. BUT, think about it–most of the 18+K members are authors, who are
attempting to sell their product to other authors who probably don’t want to
spend money–they’re hoping to make sales of their own, right? I’ve often called
Facebook the information booth of the shopping mall–you get your info, then you
shop in the stores, right? Facebook allows you to “meet” your favourite authors
and get to know about their new books. Then you head to Amazon, or wherever you
like to shop for books. Consider that, and ask yourself if there’s a way to
make it a personal interaction that will keep your readers coming back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Websites, newsletters, blogs, etc. They still do more for
author visibility than anything else. I advocate an active, and interactive
blog if you don’t want the hassle of maintaining a website. Not everyone has
the skill to build an attractive web presence, nor the money to pay someone
else for that branding tool. So, why not consider a blog? You can do amazing
things with Blogger and WordPress now. Separate pages for books, and listings,
and whatever else you can dream up to get readers interested. Answer comments
left on your blogs, network them so they post to other social media that allows
your name and brand to reach people. The best combo I can think of is the
blog/Twitter combo. If you hate Facebook, and many people do, consider LinkedIn
and it’s new tools and functions. If you write a particularly outstanding blog,
post links on your business profile. If you want, a week or so after the
original post, reprint the post for LinkedIn–they have an article feature now
that will allow you to blog on their site.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Use your time to maximum impact, tools and applications can
post across many platforms are a Godsend to someone with limited time.
Something like Hootsuite allows you to post to LinkedIn, Blogger, Facebook,
Twitter, Google+ and probably others–all from one dashboard. If you like
Twitter, link it back to your pages, make sure your stream is put on your blog
sidebar or your website. There’s huge potential for presence with organized
efforts. Next month we can talk about paid promotions, Yahoo’s continued
presence and usefulness, as well as other potentially helpful marketing ideas.
Cheers everyone! Happy Writing and much success!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<em>Book One of Three: During the time before the Great Forbidding was
created, it was believed the defiance of the Renegades could be contained. To
that end, the Council of Power called upon their Ancient Gods for assistance.
In response, the Gods ordered creation of the Triad of Power–three swords, each
one imbued with the essence of a gift unique to those who would wield the
weapons as the Guardians of Foress. Like all magic, each crafted blade
contained the driving sorcery of its creator–not all wizards are immune to the
weaknesses of men, and within the Triad, conflict itself was bred without
conscious intent or knowledge. So begins the legend, and the epic fantasy of
the TRIAD OF POWER.</em></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As contented peace
steeped the air around them, and they were able to breathe in near silence
again, Sherindal contemplated her surroundings. On her knees, with the Prince of
Ember still sheathed within her, she had never known a moment of more perfect
serenity and completion. Her senses hummed with awareness of everything: the
texture of the bed linen, cool silk, caressing her heated skin, the subtle
patterns swirling amid the tapestries that hung on the stone walls of the
bedchamber, even the heavy scent of candle wax added another layer of
appreciation to her happiness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You really are
magnificent, Sher,” Rienn whispered, his arms wrapped around her, drawing her
close.</div>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She leaned to one
side, looped her arm around his neck and drew his mouth to hers in a kiss that
was filled with gentle passion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I do love you,
Rienn.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rienn nodded. His
hands on her waist moved her. She shivered as he slipped free of her. “I’ll
order a bath and some food,” he told her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She grabbed his
wrist and shook her head. “Later. I want you to hold me.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rienn stretched out
and pulled her down to him, spooning her body to his when he pressed her back
to his chest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They’d only slept
for minutes when the huge doors of the Prince’s chambers were flung open and
the spacious room was invaded by numerous men, all bearing swords.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Rienn.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The word was a
warning, and Sherindal slithered from the bed when he released her. She scooped
up her weapon as she rolled, oblivious to her nakedness. She whirled to face
the first rush of the attack. Somewhere through the early morning hours since
they’d made love, Rienn had thought to retrieve his breeches, she noted from
the corner of her eye. He had managed to gain his weapon, and they fought, back
to back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sherindal hissed in
fury and pain when the second of the men who engaged her slipped past her
defense and inflicted a wound near her waist. It was a surface injury and she
quickly rewarded him by slicing off his sword hand. Howling in agony, he
toppled back, then fled as he recovered his footing several feet away from her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rienn had killed two
men and was about to run through the third when Sherindal’s voice filled the
room, and the blade she wielded, Huntor, rose with her song. The attackers
froze momentarily, those two who remained, and she smiled when the weapon cut
them down, then drifted back to her outstretched hand, coming to rest in her
grasp with near peaceful ease.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Your blood-thirsty
weapon has been sated nicely this morning,” Rienn observed with a tense glance
at the gleaming blade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Who are they?” she
asked, her tone cold as she met his gaze.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Why would you
assume I know?” he retorted instantly. “This is hardly what I would consider an
invigorating start to the day!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Really?” One
eyebrow rose in emphasis of her sardonic tone. “It is one of the more
interesting diversions you might have provided, Rienn.” Her laughter was faintly
mocking, and not a little bit ironic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rienn’s handsome
features suffused with rage and he reached for her, gripped her bare arm with
fingers that dug into her flesh like steel bands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You can be an evil
bitch,” he whispered darkly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sherindal smiled,
and this time it was genuine. She nodded, kissed his chin, the closest she
could get to his mouth from her disadvantaged height, then she gasped as a
fiery lance reminded her of the slash near her left hip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Enough, Rienn,” she
said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He released her,
scooped her into his arms, and placed her in the center of the feathered
mattress of his bed. He looked closely at the injury, yanked the bell pull, and
then went to the heavy wardrobe at the far end of the chamber.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">His guards were
rushing along the corridor when he returned to the bed and helped Sherindal
into one of his linen shirts. She bit her bottom lip against another stab of
pain and laughed in macabre amusement when she spotted the duo who entered the
room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“They look rested
enough, my love,” she muttered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rienn glared at her,
then turned an even fiercer visage to the men who should have prevented the
assault in his private rooms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Get them out of
here, then report to Radisan.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Radisan will no
doubt beat the life out of them, Rienn,” she remarked. “Your brother is
overzealous when it comes to punishment. He enjoys watching other people
writhe, especially when he is the orchestrator of their anguish.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Would you rather I
reward them for their lapse?” he snapped. “We could have been killed, Sher!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Highly unlikely.
Get me my own clothes,” she requested. “I want to dress.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“You’re not going
anywhere,” he warned from his position near the door. As the two guards dragged
the last of the fallen men into the hall, he slammed the door into place and
speared his lover with a look that frequently froze men in their tracks.
Sherindal rose from the bed to retrieve her belongings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Why?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She sighed and began
to apply salve from the small medicine kit she carried. When the wound was
smeared with the peach-colored cream, she wrapped clean linen around her hips,
then continued to dress. Dark brown trousers, forest green tunic, black boots
and vest, and lastly the sword, in a sheath that she wore at her back, the
glittering hilt visible between her shoulders when she faced the Prince again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Rienn,” she said
gently. “I would not leave you if it wasn’t necessary. This is something I must
do. I have no choice!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rienn’s unusual eyes
flared with anger, and he strode toward her, stopping when her head moved so
that she might hold his look. He towered over her, and often used that height
to keep her off balance when they were this close. She had told him that he was
a drug she was addicted to, and the sensuality of their passion had grown with
their aging. She would have made a perfect queen, but his father had long ago
threatened Rienn with banishment if he took Sherindal as his wife. The old man
had said on many occasions he would hold the throne forever from Rienn if he
dared to believe a witch would be an appropriate queen for Ember. Sherindal
seemed more than happy to be his consort, with none of the advantages that
position could have offered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ironically, by his
own decree, Rienn’s father had also insured he’d never have the grandchildren
he desired, for Rienn would not betray his love for Sherindal by accepting
another woman in his bed. The King believed that to be one more proof of Sher’s
sorcery, her hold on the oldest son of Ember’s Royal House. Love was an emotion
the old man mocked and disdained, and one he had never understood. Rienn’s
mother had died many years earlier, and they had been closer than many sons and
mothers. They had been friends and confidants. The Queen had approved completely
of Rienn’s choice of mate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

You felt every emotion that they were experiencing.<br /><br />The description in this book was well written and you could see, feel, and hear everything that was going on with the characters and the world around them. I could see everything I was reading.<br /><br />There were lots of twists in this book that had me turning the pages to see what was going to happen. I literally read this book in one day cause every chance I got I was reading to see what was coming or going to happen. By the end of the book mostly everything had been explained and all tied up nicely. The book and the plot flowed very nicely. You were able to read and understand everything that was happening.<br /><br />Liam is a great teacher for Ragen. Ragen is a type of witch able to heal by touch and she has just started getting and experiencing her powers. Liam comes to find her by request of a Goddess to keep her safe and to bring her back to the goddess. You will have to read yourself to find out why this Goddess wants to see Ragen and wants to keep her safe.<br /><br />Liam is a Zerphalin, an immortal shapeshifter, he can shapeshift to what he wants but prefers the wolf form. He is looking to settle down instead of having meaningless encounters and sex. When he finds Ragen the chemistry and reaction between these two is AMAZING!!!! I just want to say that I would love me some Liam. He is sexy, strong, and compassionate all wrapped up into one with a sexy wolf form.<br /><br />This book ends on a huge cliffhanger and mystery. Thats why I say mostly everything has been explained and tied up in this book. This cliffhanger was so huge I was so disappointed for it to end. Now I am wondering what is gonna happen to Ragen and if she will continue to be safe. Im also curious to see ragen and Liam's love continue to develop and grow. I cant wait to read the next book to continue with Ragen and Liam and hopefully it is done and released soon.<br /><br />This book gets a 5/5 from me!!<br /><a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fintriguingreviews.blogspot.com%2F&h=MAQEoXxm2&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://intriguingreviews.blogspot.com/</a></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902681382886749763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111988028080301872.post-30490115317455516622014-05-22T08:10:00.001-07:002014-05-22T08:10:59.835-07:00MEMORIAL DAY SALE ON OUR BOOKS! <br />

I was presented with the opportunity to write a story outside the box, I leaped

Breathtaking!<br />
<br />
When Fleur Curwen arrives for a murder mystery weekend, not even her feisty persona can prepare her for what she is about to experience. Dragon lord, Lukas Draco, isn’t prepared for the powerful attraction he feels for Fleur. After all, she’s human. And no matter what he can’t be distracted from his vital task. To save the dragon egg.<br />
<br />
Introduce the suave Xavier Serpente, a demon with the same mission as Lukas and pretty soon innocent Fleur is swept away on an adventure in a world she never knew existed, steeped in danger and laced with a whole lot of hotness. Can Lukas save them both?<br />
<br />
With a fab up-close-and-personal meet with Fleur and Lukas, The Dragon Legacy starts off with sizzle and a heap of intrigue that has you page turning at a frantic pace. This isn’t a Whodunnit? but more of a ‘What the heck are they and will they survive?’<br />
<br />
I love that the story is set in the Lake District, but if you’ve never visited fear not, the author takes you on a journey of visual imagery through her beautiful descriptive writing. You feel it, you almost breathe the air. Add in the wonderful secondary characters, witch Jasmine and sexy wolf Zane and there’s a whole lot of potential for lots more from this wonderful new author!</div>

The Dragon Legacy is hotter than a fire-breathing dragon. Whew! This story about Lukas and Fleur was fast-paced, interesting and had the kind of ending I was hoping for. Hoping there will be another book about Zane and Jasmine? Well done, Jane Hunt.</div>

<span class="MHRHead">First we're introduced to our hero and heroine on board a bus from Penrith that is so atmospheric I felt as though I was on seated, making way to a Murder Weekend getaway. Perfect set up for the story in misting, jostling and umm, brief hip-to-hip introduction between Fleur and Lukas.<br /><br />Off for a weekend of fun...or are we down for some kick-ass, dragon heart, and savage hero balls to wall when it really counts to get the girl, fight evil tooth and tail, and find a dragon egg?<br />Repeat after me: OH YEAH!!<br /><br />"Deep inside, Lukas' dragon soul roared. Fire seared his organs and flowed into his arteries. He fought for his humanity as his gaze scanned the darkness for any sign of Fleur.<br />He embraced his inner fire."<br /></span></div>

I enjoyed this story. It provided some twists and turns which I didn’t see coming. The setting in the English Lake District immediately drew my attention, and so did the premise of a group of strangers meeting for a Murder Mystery Weekend.<br />
I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but this Murder Mystery Weekend is not at all why I – or the main character, Fleur – expected. Not at all!<br />
Fleur’s unusual meeting with Lukas Drako leaves an indelible impression on the somewhat naive Fleur. She can’t get the image of the handsome stranger out of her mind. The chemistry sizzles between them, but Lukas has to avoid getting emotionally entangled at any cost. His mission is crucial. Life and death. No way does he want to be distracted by this gorgeous, innocent, and shy young woman.<br />
But their attraction for each other is just too much. Fleur sheds her innocence in heated – no, sizzling – encounters with Lukas, and she doesn’t mess around in letting him know that she desires him.<br />
Then, along comes the villain – Xavier – who threatens not only the relationship between Fleur and Lukas, but also the future of Lukas’s world.<br />
There are some very interesting supporting characters in this book, and I could see them each starring in a future book. They have interesting stories to be told.<br />
Overall, I enjoyed this interesting story but think that it could have benefitted with a tighter edit in some places.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">Lilith of Gomorra is a noble Martian priestess who sees love as nothing more than an exercise in naked carnality. But when she discovers a higher form of love, her faith in the ancient religion turns to doubt and she must choose between her people and the man she loves. The fate of the Earth hangs on her choice. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">In 1907 in an alternate steampunk universe where Tesla invented a electric antigravity device that makes steam-powered spacecraft possible, asteroid miners have discovered ruins that pre-date human civilization. Two expeditions head to Ceres to explore them–an American expedition funded by a wealthy senator, and a German one organized by the occult Thule Society and led by Aleistar Crowley. But the Martian priesthood and their supernatural allies have infiltrated both and plan to discover the secret of the weapon that shattered the ancient world of Pentara in order to turn it against the Earth.</span></b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Some sparks will catch.

She knows how to handle herself, doesn't shy away from hard work, loves tinkering with her pickup, and is far more comfortable with a tool belt hanging off her hips than an apron. However, Charley's a failure at personal relationships, with more experience throwing punches and insults than her arms around someone. She's way out of her comfort zone when she strays across a clean cut babe, emphasis on babe, stranded in the woods. Her immediate cool and dismissive assessment of Drake Carver is entirely wrong - though correcting someone this opinionated isn't easy. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But don't let this biologist's Oxford shirt fool you. Drake's tough, used to roughing it, and not afraid to be tested. He's just never encountered a woman quite like Charley which, in his opinion, makes her ideal for his purposes. Unfortunately, she's not easy to win over. It will take an act of heroism to prove his mettle. However, time is running out and theirs aren't the only sparks flying in the woods.</span></span></b>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09902681382886749763noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111988028080301872.post-18100837521449421492014-04-30T08:35:00.003-07:002014-04-30T08:35:33.793-07:00CANDY CAINE'S DANCING FOR DOLLARS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
