Standard

Destined for Darkness Front Cover   Good Day Folks,

If you like thriller books you will love Lucian Barnes. He gave me the honor posting his cover reveal for his next thriller “Destined for Darkness”

Check him out for his other thrillers.

 

Destined for Darkness Synopsis

 

Frank Mancini had suffered with his abusive mother for many years, until the day that he snapped. After telling his friend, Johnny, about the incident, his friend encouraged him to leave Misty Hollows. Taking his advice, Frank journeyed across the country to California hoping for a fresh start.

Shortly after his arrival, he met a beautiful woman. He was determined to hide his dark past from her, especially after finding out that she was a psychic, able to see both the past and the future of anyone she came into contact with. He managed to hide his secrets from her until several years after they’d gotten married and started a family. Fearing that she would turn him in to the police, he killed her. Not realizing that his son, George, witnessed this act, Frank decided to take him back to Misty Hollows.

How would the memory of his mother’s death effect young George? Would he follow in his father’s footsteps? Journey through the years, from infancy to adulthood, with George to see if he can resist the inner darkness!

Excerpt:

“Where exactly is …” Frank’s question trailed off unfinished as he noticed the small stone structure. The man was standing by a sturdy-looking wooden door. As Frank approached, he could see an intricate carving—which almost seemed to be burned into the wood—depicting a strange symbol he’d never seen. It was a five-pointed star with the image of what appeared to be the head of a goat inside. Two circles surrounded this odd emblem, one touching the points of the star, the other was larger. There were more markings between the two circles, each one near a point of the star.

            The man pulled the heavy door open and beckoned Frank to come inside. The interior of the building was dimly lit by two iron candelabras hanging from the vaulted ceiling by long chains, giving the chamber an ancient feel as if it belonged somewhere in the middle ages. When the man closed the door to the outside it added to this effect.

            “This way, please,” he said as he went to a nearly solid metal gate. It creaked open and revealed a stone staircase leading into the ground. Torches flickered at intervals along the way, casting their shadows in a way that made them look like they belonged to something inhuman.

            Frank wondered where he was being led. This didn’t seem like a place Candice was likely to hang out, and the further down the stairs he went the more he had the urge to turn around and run. Their footfalls continued to echo eerily in the passage until they finally reached a large chamber at the bottom.

            Torches blazed all around the outer edge of the enormous room. Hanging on the far wall was another rendition of the symbol from the door leading outside, only this one was much bigger. So large, in fact, that it took up almost the entire wall. In front of the huge tapestry bearing this emblem was a bald man wearing a black robe, standing behind what appeared to be some sort of church-like altar draped with a blood red cloth.

            As the two of them crossed the chamber, the bald man regarded them with furrowed brows. “Brother. Who is the outsider you have brought here?” he asked in a booming voice.

            “I didn’t catch his name, but I found him in the woods. He was asking about your daughter.”

It is an exciting adventure. I love it. It is with my second proofreader then I will send if off to my publisher  http://anchorgrouppublishing.com/Hope they like it.

I am still working on my urban fantasy novel the New Moon Brethren. I am on a funeral scene and struggling with it, I get sad every time I work on it.  Blaze the dragon has been visiting me often in my dreams helping me along.  I wish I could take my dreams in my head and some how down load into words on my manuscript. I do keep a note book next to my bed but still, some of the visual details gets lost.

I have been involved in talks about my own radio show. Hopefully it will be revealed soon what is happening there and who I may work with. Still plugging away  on my local Library Renovation Team. Hoping to wrap this up in February. The good news we have 70% raised so the City went forward with the renovation. The library should move back to the renovated building in June of 2014.

My kids are wrapping up their fall sports. My oldest James will be starting drivers ed in November eeeeeeek.  My hubby is home on Sabbatical and writing a book. I moved out of the office and into a corner in a sitting area. I am adjusting.  The bummer part is I cannot close the door when working.  Crazy busy adventure.  I had more to say but the University that I live behind was venting something for many hours and driving me insane. I was told around dinner time they were blowing out the sprinkler system for winter. 

Keep up with specific details on my FB page listed in the links below.  Every day you wake up is  a good day. Enjoy the Adventure, WB

More Than Magic: Semester Aboard Cover Reveal Adventure

Standard

WendyBookcaseLogo (2)I recommend this fun, entertaining, exciting read. Who knew of the magic among us. Are you one! Rafflecopter giveaway. WB

Semester Aboard, the first book in the YA urban fantasy series More than Magic series has a brand new cover! If you haven’t read Semester Aboard yet, here’s a quick summary and a little peek for you!

College student Jen Maddox is a few days into her summer study abroad program and has loved every moment. She just left Mexico and is back on her cruise ship campus, ready to sail to Panama. Everyone tells her that the experience will change her life, but none of them realize just how right they really are.
One night Jen goes out on deck and encounters five other students. She knows Charlie from one of her classes and he’s a funny, friendly, regular guy. Picture-perfect Dani and his gorgeous wife Mariana live right down the hall from Jen. And she has seen TS, who’s built like a truck, around the ship and recognizes the cute, but quiet Thomas as well.
Then Jen sees something that isn’t humanly possible. Jen would have thought that it was all a dream, if not for the fact that Charlie, Dani, Mariana, TS, and Thomas are making every effort to cover it up. Suddenly, the five of them are everything but normal and Jen is determined to figure out what they’re hiding.
When she does, her life really does change. Jen expected to spend her summer studying the cultures of Latin America, she never dreamed she’d learn about a magical culture instead.
But Jen’s childhood fantasy come true is about to turn into a nightmare; there’s something on the ship. Something dangerous. Suddenly, everyone on board is threatened by a creature that Jen never even believed existed. Jen and her new friends might be the only people who can stop it! Now Jen has to learn everything she can about her new world before it kills her. And her friends. And maybe everyone on the entire ship!

The More than Magic series is written by Elizabeth Kirke.


Sneak Peek:
It started raining early in the afternoon and was a bad storm by the time I went to bed.  I woke up in the middle of the night and stumbled over to our bathroom, feeling awful.  A bit of quality time bent over the toilet didn’t help at all and I decided to try for some fresh air.  I pulled a sweater on over my pajamas, hung my ID card strap around my neck, and slipped out of the room.  I made my way down the corridor to the door that led outside.  For the first time since getting on the ship I had to keep one hand on the railing.  The halls were well lit, even though it was the middle of the night, and it was almost disconcerting to step outside into the darkness.  But the moment the cool, damp wind hit my face I felt better.  I hadn’t been seasick since our first night, but sometimes I felt nauseous if I stayed in our room too long.  Being out on the deck always helped.

    I had assumed that I’d be the only one crazy enough to go out in the rain in the middle of the night, but to my surprise I wasn’t.  There were people on the other side of the deck.  It was too dark to see them well, but the lights from the deck above us illuminated them a little.  One of them was Charlie.  He was standing under the overhang where Deck Five extended out above Deck Four.  He was just wearing a t-shirt and jeans and I shivered in sympathy.  A guy I recognized, not surprising since we all lived on a ship, was sitting on the bottom steps of the outdoor stairway that led to Deck Five.  He was probably a football player back home or something.  He had shaggy, dark brown hair and a fairly large nose.  I’d heard a few girls giggling about him, but I didn’t think he was that good looking.  I wasn’t sure what his name was.  Another guy was sitting in a chair, probably pilfered from Deck Five, with his back to me and his feet up on the rails.  Mariana was near him, wearing only a bikini top and a short skirt.  I couldn’t believe she wasn’t cold.
    “I didn’t scream!” she said.
    “You totally did!  You freaked out!” Dani laughed.
    It had been too dark to notice Dani until he spoke.  My jaw dropped in shock.  Dani was sitting on the railing of the ship.  Messing around on the rails was one of the first things they’d told us not to do when we got on board.  Even sitting on them in the middle of a calm day was suicidal at best.  But to sit there in the middle of a stormy night was nothing short of a death wish.
    “I was not!” Mariana cried.
    “You were all like, ‘Oh, Danio, save me Danio!'”
    “Well, I…I-don’t be such a jerk!”
    As Mariana spoke she spun to face Dani and shoved him hard.  Dani’s laugh turned into a yell of surprise and he tumbled backward off of the railing!  I gasped in horror.  Every second now was critical.  If someone went overboard we were supposed to immediately throw them a life preserver and then run and tell a crew member.  But not a single one of them did anything!  The one in the chair uncrossed his legs and recrossed them with a different one on top.  The guy on the stairs threw back his head and laughed!  Charlie quickly stuck his head over the railing and then pulled back and shivered.  It was as if Dani hadn’t gone overboard at all.
    “Oh my god!” I gasped.  They must have been in shock.  That was the only reason they weren’t rushing to save Dani.  I ran across the deck, at the very least, I could throw the life preserver in and hope he was still alive to use it.
    They all jerked around to look at me.  They acted more surprised to see me than they were about Dani falling overboard.  Mariana gasped and backed against the rail.  Charlie stepped to the edge of the overhang and Football Guy jumped off of the stairs to his feet.  The guy in the chair was on his feet in an instant.  I hardly even saw him move; one second he was sitting and the next he was up.  He stepped in front of the others, almost protectively.
    “That’s Jennifer.”  Charlie spoke softly like he didn’t want me to hear, but the wind carried his words right to me.  “She’s in one of my classes.”
    The guy in front smiled.  “You’re up late.”
    They were acting like nothing had happened!  This was insane!
    “What’s the matter with you?” I cried.  “We have to do something!”
    “Do something?”  He almost looked genuinely confused.  “About what?”
    “She just…” I gestured to Mariana.  “She just pushed Dani overboard!”
    He had the audacity to laugh.  “It’s raining, you know.  And dark.  You’re mistaken.”

Oceanus chuckled and changed the subject. “You’re finally seeing her for who she is, aren’t you, little brother?” The formalities were absent. Oceanus spoke to Pyre as his brother, not as his leader for the time being.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Pyre lied, poorly.

This caused an outright laugh to erupt from Oceanus. “Yes, you do.”

He flicked Pyre’s shoulder with his tail. “You haven’t picked on her once since she told us of her plan to raise the mountain.”

“She’s amazing, Oceanus. Father and the others they were so wrong about her. She’s a gift to us from the gods. She has to be! They talk to her! None of us except Rose can talk to them. We were so wrong about her, Oceanus. Father should have let you mate her. She deserves to be an Oni’s mate. You can mate her now you know.” Pyre’s words ran from his mouth in string of nonsense, but Oceanus heard and understood them all.

“Aye. She would make the perfect mate for an Oni. But I have seen the way she looks at you, Pyre. I missed my chance to have her by my side. You, however, have just come into her sights. Stay with her until she wakes, then head home.” Oceanus emphasized home by lifting his head and looking up at the floating mountain.

pyre

Pyre let Oceanus’ words roll around in his mind long after his brother had left. As night fell, a wind began to howl through the tunnel the floating mountain and the ground made causing the temperature to plummet in the desert. Pyre watched Rose sleeping, and every so often took his tail to brush off the sand that accumulated on her body.

Suddenly,
an alarming disappearance in the quiet and serene city she calls home puts the
whole town into high-alert. One of Aydah’s schoolmates vanishes during the

About the
Author –

Emily Fogle was born and raised in Southern
California. Her dream and ultimate goal was to get her Masters degree in
English and become a teacher with enough time to write, as well. However, she
soon found out that the best dreams often come true when they aren’t planned.
Instead of fulfilling her teaching goal, real life took over and she married
the man of her dreams. She now has an amazing 7 year old son and another
beautiful baby boy on the way.
 
She dedicates the majority of her time taking
care of her family, volunteering at her son’s school, and being a Cub Scout Den
leader. And though she loves every minute of it, the thought of being a writer
still tugs at her heart. So, after the busy days are done and everyone is finally
sleeping quietly, she squeezes in time for all the other loves in her life: the
characters running wild inside her head.
     Now,
incredibly, her writing dream is also coming true. Her first novel, Dragon
Wars, is being published by Anchor Group. Emily feels sincerely blessed to have
been given so much in life and can’t wait to start the next chapter.

Reveiw adventures!

 Good Day Folks,

  487958_10152105377558056_470157528_n First I want to let you all know my ebooks are all on sale The sale ends October 1. Links are below. I thought I would share something I have discovered about authors. When most of submit us our books to reviewers, we all of sudden become nervous wrecks. I do. While I wait all of sudden I am insecure about my writing. It does not matter how many say I love your books, or my kids love your books. It does not matter we are waiting for that one review that will crush us for a little while. These are the emotions I go through.

They will hate, the story is to long, they catch some grammatical error,  etc.  This will be the one where a nice reviewer emails me and says I really do not like your story so will not review instead of posting a 1 star review.Then I  try to convince myself it I can only learn from this and do better. These are the thoughts I have and I know many others do. Authors are a insecure bunch.  But this is good, it makes us better writers.

Well so far I have be very blessed. None of these images in my head have come true.  My reviews have been outstanding and criticisms have been very helpful. I want to thank all who take the time to review, share and spread the word that children will love my stories and hopefully let them explore the adventure.

“The color of the illustrations by Jim Weidman and the very well-written story by Wendy Nystrom make “James Saves the Moon” a rare treasure for a children’s picture book.

The biggest advantage of adventure stories is that they encourage children to think and be imaginative. It gives them the freedom to dream, experiment, think differently, and create their own characters. I found the little trolls and dragonets very interesting and they add to the whimsical quality of the story.”

Standard

Rangers tale banner

This romantic, exciting , magical fantasy is a good read. Mysti Parker  book is a must read.

FINALRangersCover RESIZED   In the fantasy world of Tallenmere, an elven noblewoman longed to leave her gilded cage. A half-breed former pirate wanted nothing more than to escape his guilty past. Easier said than done…

High elf Caliphany Aranea leads an enviable life as King Leopold’s niece and daughter of Sirius, Leogard’s most famous wizard. Yet, being forced to follow in her father’s footsteps and being betrothed to a man she doesn’t even like makes her want a taste of life outside the city walls.

As a young boy, half-elf Galadin Trudeaux witnessed his parents’ death at the hands of pirates. After being raised by those same murderers and forced to do their bidding, he escaped and now lives an honest life as a sea merchant and ranger.

When two brutes at Leogard Harbor attempt to kidnap Caliphany while she dreams of faraway lands, Galadin comes to her rescue. Impressed by his skills, she asks him to train her as a ranger. Though he is hesitant at first to train a woman of her class, Caliphany’s hefty sack of gold finally persuades him. Unfortunately, her father is not amused, and the two must escape before Caliphany faces a forced marriage and Galadin faces a noose.

Ever since she first read books like Chronicles of Narnia or Goosebumps, Alicia has been a lover of mind-bending fiction. Wherever imagination takes her, she is more than happy to call that place her home. The mother of two and wife to an Army sergeant loves chocolate, coffee, and of course good books. When not writing, you can usually find her with her nose in a book, shopping for shoes and fabulous jewelry, or spending time with her loving family.

Blurb:  Get a degree, get a job, save adorable foster siblings from the clutches of the evil foster mom …
These are Jocylene Sanders’ top priorities as she enters her sophomore year of college. The last thing she expects is to find herself the champion of an entire kingdom. However, that is just what happens when the mysterious Faerie, Rothatin Longspear, appears to her, tasking her with saving a parallel world full of creatures from her wildest dreams.
Jocylene journeys with him into the world of Fallada, hoping for answers about her birth parents and background. What she finds is a mystifying past, and an even more uncertain future, as her heart becomes entangled with the stoic, battle-hardened Rothatin, as well as Eli, the untroubled Panther Shifter with no loyalties and no home. With her heart and soul pulled in so many directions, can Jocylene find the strength needed to become the savior one nation so desperately needs?
