Saying goodbye to fictional friends is a special kind of sweet pain. With this finial book in my Hellsbane series, <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hellsbane-Hereafter-Paige-Cuccaro-ebook/dp/B00GETG0AA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454141178&sr=8-1&keywords=HELLSBANE+HEREAFTER" target="_blank">HELLSBANE HEREAFTER</a></b>, finally out in the world, it’s time to say goodbye to some very dear friends.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Normally when I finish a book I do a little happy dance, maybe have a glass of wine, and breathe a long satisfied sigh of relief. My mind shifts to the next story, new characters to discover and stories to unravel. It’s always a little sad letting go, but my imagination won’t let me dwell on the past.</div>

Over the last three years writing the story of Emma Jane Hellsbane and her doomed love Eli, I’ve grown used to having them and the rest of the Scooby crew around. They evolved from fictional characters to dearly loved family members. They’ve been there, keeping me company, entertaining me and driving me a little nuts at times for years. They saw me through my empting nest, bitter winters, and even my husband’s deployment. They talked to me, and pulled me along on their adventures, tugging at my heart with their forbidden love. Saying goodbye to Emma and Eli is like saying goodbye to trusted friends.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Emma Jane was born out of a nagging curiosity. I’ve always been fascinated by the biblical stories about angels taking human wives and producing these giant children. I thought how cool it would be if they were still doing it, but over the eons had figured out a way to make their children seem just as normal as any human. Then these children, these nephilim, would be living among us, not even realizing themselves the true supernatural power they possessed. The entire Hellsbane series grew out of that premise. Depending on your beliefs it could all be very possible…and I love that!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The curiosity is still with me, even after telling Emma Jane’s tale. Just recently more attention is being paid to the real life skeletal remains of giants they’re unearthing, and uncovering in the case of Smithsonian Institution, all over the world. Could these be ancestors of Emma Jane and the other nephilim like her? Did they die out? Were they killed in the great flood? Or did they evolve to protect themselves, become less fearsome and more human? The questions are endless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now the Smithsonian Institution is being accused of deliberately hiding their collection of remains. Physical proof these impressive beings really did walk the earth. Why? Is it because they fear their existence might substantiate this passage:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Bible in Genisis 6:4</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old men of renown.”</div>

<div>
We may never know the truth, but nothing can stop our imaginations and news clippings like this are a writer’s food and fuel. But all good things must end.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is the first series I’ve written and I don’t think I was prepared for how much a part of me the characters would become. Of course there’s more to Emma and Eli’s story. In this last book everything flips and a page is turned that can’t ever be turned back. Despite how desperate things have become for characters, they move forward, accepting what’s become of their lives—each of them starting new chapters. Maybe one day I’ll peek in on them again, see what new things Emma has discovered about herself. But for now, it’s farewell, my dear ones. I will miss you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To my readers, I hope the Hellsbane stories have given you some laughs, a few tears and even a longing sigh now and then. And my most heartfelt wish is that this final book leaves you with a smile in your heart and spark to light your imagination.</div>

<b>HELLSBANE HEREAFTER</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Taking sides could be deadly…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The war between good and evil is on, and nephilim Emma Jane is caught in the middle. Both sides want her working for them. And both sides know how to make her suffer if they don’t like her choice. Now someone has raised the stakes and is using innocent humans as pawns in the ultimate fight for humanity…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Emma Jane isn’t sure which side is responsible. What she used to believe about right and wrong, good and evil—even what she used to believe about herself—is changing. Because whether she likes it or not, the final reckoning comes down to Emma Jane Hellsbane. And she’ll have to choose between humanity…and the man she was never supposed to love.</div>

She’s half angel, too, and now Heaven’s got a job for her: round up all the Fallen angels and their red-skinned, horned devil-demon minions and boot their butts back into the abyss. Only problem? The demons and their Fallen masters fight back…and they don’t fight fair.</span><br style="font-family: Enriqueta, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;" /><span style="font-family: Enriqueta, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"> Luckily for Emma, she can put a stop to the constant threat of having her head hacked off if she figures out which Fallen angel is her father—and then kill him before he kills her. Of course, in the meantime, she’ll have to avoid accidentally seducing her angelic mentor, help an old friend conquer his own Fallen sperm donor, and basically save the world from a cataclysmic divine smack down.</span><br style="font-family: Enriqueta, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;" /><span class="italic" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Enriqueta, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">No one said being Heaven’s bounty hunter would be easy.

Gone was the great global marble spinning in the endless black of space. Suddenly, I was blinking at a waking cityscape miles below with large water inlets and busy harbors. There was blue sky above me and green land below. We were back on Earth.</span><br /> </span></div>

My hair floated back against my head and I could stand on my own. I shoved at the strands over my face and tried to clue in my brain. “Brazil.” Eli pointed at the city. “Rio de Janeiro.”</span><br /> </span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

It’d been nearly six a.m. in Pittsburgh by the time Eli and I left Earth, which made it nearly seven a.m. in Rio, and the city was already bustling.<br />What are we standing on? I fisted my hand around Eli’s jacket and leaned over for a better look. “No way. Christ the Redeemer? Seriously?” We were on his arm and I looked to the left at the huge, white, carved face of Jesus.</span><br /> </span></div>

Authors are my ROCK STARS!<br />
<br />
One of my quirky little interests is seeing the writing spaces of my favorite authors. I realized I wasn't alone in my quirkiness when I started posting my collection on my website. <a href="http://www.paigecuccaro.com/#!the-writers-cave/c1ltx" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Writing Caves</span></a>.<br />
<br />
It got me wondering. Does a writing space say something about the writer who works there? Can you tell, just by looking, what kind, genre, writer uses the space? Let's find out.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Just for fun</u>, I'm going to post a few writer's spaces from my website and you tell me which author it belongs to.</div>

certainly believe it. But Rachel quickly realizes the premature announcement of
her death is the least of her worries. She has no recollection of the past few

Anthropoid Automatons, vessels that look exactly like humans, loves his work

traits, everything that makes a person who they are, into the CYANAs. But Nate loves
his wife more. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for her. Even if it’s the one
thing she never wanted. But has he gone too far? How far would any man go for
love??</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As awesome as the first cover was, there was something missing. From Here To Eternity is a Sci-Fi Romance about a woman who wakes up one day to realize, despite
all outward evidence her life has utterly changed. Against her most deepest
held beliefs she’s become the one thing she never wanted and there’s no going
back</span></div>

<div class="Normal1">
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s about a man who, faced with his worst fear come true, was
forced to make a choice between respecting his wife’s wishes or protecting a
discovery that, in the wrong hands, could be the most devastating weapon ever
made. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="Normal1">
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s about that kind of once in a life time love that

I Robot is one of my favorite sci-fi movies and his robot
series ROCK! I love how his robots always seem to strive to be more human and
it got me thinking how the opposite is kind of true of humans. Not that we
strive to be robots, but year by year, as medicine advances and prosthetics
become more sophisticated, more robotic, I wonder where will it stop? <o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>

shaped them into the person they are—into a robot’s brain. Would we still call
them human? From Here to Eternity sort of took off from there.</span><o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Part I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I’m dead,” I said to my husband’s voice mail. I knew he wouldn’t answer. He never picked up at the lab—too lost in his research. But this was too bizarre to wait until he came home.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Funny. I expected Heaven to be whiter…and cleaner,” I said, scanning the mountain of dishes filling our kitchen sink. Gawd, Nate must’ve used every dish in the house. It took real skill to get the pile that high without any slipping off onto the floor. He hadn’t even bothered to scrape the leftover food off half of them. “Geez, Nate, you could wash a dish now and then.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An uncomfortable twinge squirmed through my stomach, like a worm munching a rotted apple. There was something wrong with this picture. What is it?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Anyway,” I said pointedly, shifting my thoughts away from the strange stirring of intuition and back to the reason I’d called. I refocused my gaze on the Global Web screen, reflected on the inside lens of my Connect Wear glasses. The multifunctional eyewear showed our local newspaper’s web-port. “My name’s in today’s obituary section. Right there after Scarlet Baker and before Frank Cockren.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The port’s background music chimed through my head, the glasses transmitting notes directly to the electric synapses of my brain. A simple thought stopped the sound. I leaned my butt against the kitchen counter, folding my arms across my belly. “Probably someone with a similar name or something. They just got the info mixed with mine. It’s kind of creepy, though. And you know it’s going to screw with my credit—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An incoming call vibrated my glasses, interrupting my message. The caller ID flashed the name,Lord of Geeks, over the top of the newspaper’s page on my right lens. “Oh. You’re calling me. End outgoing call,” I said to Nate’s voice mail. The words call ended flashed for a moment under the caller ID then vanished. My eyes focused on the ID of the incoming call.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Answer, Lord of Geeks,” I said, and the ID changed to open call. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Hey. I was just calling you.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Rach?” a man asked, his voice strained—worried.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Who is this?” It wasn’t Nate. For security reasons they weren’t allowed to use the video option from the lab, so I couldn’t see who it was.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s me, hon,” the man said. “It’s Nate. What happened? How did you— Never mind…are you okay?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A sense of wrongness snaked through my veins like cold poison, freezing me to the bone. “I was calling my husband. Dr. Nathaniel Burns.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“I know,” he said. “I couldn’t pick up before it went to voice mail. It’s me, Rachel.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“No.” Nate and I had known each other since his family moved in next door to mine when we were kids. I had been in fourth grade; him in ninth. We’d gotten married when I was still in college, eight years ago now. I’d heard his voice almost every day for sixteen years, and yet I suddenly realized…I couldn’t remember what it sounded like. I couldn’t be sure it wasn’t him I was talking to.Why? A stab of panic lanced through me. “End call.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Less than twenty seconds later the soft vibration of an incoming call shook my glasses and theLord of Geeks ID glowed in the upper right corner of my vision. “Answer Lord of Geeks. Hello?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Listen to me, Rachel. Please don’t end call.” I still didn’t recognize the voice but this time he kept his tone soft, like he knew exactly how to quiet the frantic pounding of my heart. “Something must’ve gone wrong. But I can fix it, I promise. You have to trust me. I’m on my way— I mean…Nate is on his way home. He wants you to stay in the house. Rest. Don’t call anyone and don’t answer the phone. And Rach…I love—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“End call,” I said. That couldn’t have been my husband. I’d know his voice if I heard it, even if I couldn’t bring the sound of it to my mind at the moment. There was nothing familiar in the one I’d heard. Nothing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What was going on? Why would someone pretend to be Nate? Instinct sank like lead in my stomach, making my skin clammy, telling me nothing was as it should be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stood there, concentrating on the in and out of my breaths, for so long that the lenses of my glasses had gone clear, my Global Web session timing out. I pulled the glasses off and set them on the counter. My gaze flicked to the sink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dishes piled nearly a foot high from the countertop, both stainless steel basins full. How had he used so many dishes in one morning? I stepped closer, picking through the pile. I wasn’t sure why, but there was something else bothering me about those dishes—I just couldn’t put my finger on it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stink of rotted food wafted up from the pile each time I moved a plate, digging my way to the bottom. Gnats buzzed off a mold-crusted mac and cheese plate, and a small puddle of curdled milk spilled from a used cereal bowl. I swallowed down a surge of bile at the back of my throat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There were balled-up paper napkins and box ends from Hungry-Man dinners mixed in with the pile, plus at least six Chinese take-out containers tossed on the counter beside the sink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This wasn’t one day’s worth of dishes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The fact settled into my brain like a backward puzzle piece—right and wrong at the same time. But it wasn’t until I spotted Nate’s coffee mug that the true wrongness needling me from the inside out finally pierced the surface of my mind.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Where’s my mug?” If this pile had been days in the making—setting aside the impossibility of that for the moment—where was my contribution? Coffee was my go-juice, like gas to a car. I drank enough of the stuff that my coffee mug was the first thing I picked up in the morning and the last thing I set in the sink at night. It was always there waiting for a quick rinse and reuse the next morning. So where was it?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The newspaper’s obituary page flashed through my mind again. Rachel Burns, age 28—deceased. I blinked away the fresh memory, ignoring whatever message my subconscious was trying to wave like a red flag in front of me, and reached to open the cabinet door next to the sink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There were hardly any clean dishes left inside; a souvenir plate I’d made as a kid, my favorite cereal bowl—because it was deeper than the ones in the set we’d gotten for our wedding—and…my coffee mug. Like a shrine of some precious treasures, the dishes I used every day were the only ones not included in the pile.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What did that mean? The question twisted in my gut and I couldn’t focus. It wasn’t possible. This mess hadn’t been here yesterday. I remembered yesterday. Didn’t I?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went back to the center island where I’d left my Connect Glasses. I put them on, signing on to the web again, searching for…something, anything that would explain what was happening. And then I saw the date—February 13, 2062. “No. It’s January.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I spun around and checked the order screen on the fridge. It was wrong, too. It had to be. Why were all the calendars screwed up?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“The house system,” I said, the sound of my own voice the only real thing in a rising sea of uncertainty. I was drowning fast.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The house computer system had to have the right date or there’d be alarms going off and cops pounding at our door. I went into the foyer, past the long polished oak table where I always dropped my purse and car keys. In the back of my mind, like a passing cloud across the sun, I noticed my keys weren’t there and someone had moved my purse to the floor, under the table at the far end near the coat tree.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I ignored it and zeroed in on the panel next to the front door. The house system controlled everything: security, temperature, solar panels, the biomedical internal tech monitoring—everything. It even monitored the smaller systems like the coffee maker. It had to have the correct date and time or nothing would work right. I leaned close so my voice would be clear. “Proteus.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing happened.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Proteus,” I said again, staring at the shiny black screen. The complicated system had a voice-recognition program and would only activate by command from registered users. It should’ve blinked to life at the sound of my voice. But it didn’t. Why wouldn’t it know me?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn’t handle another mystery. Frustrated, I tapped the screen and finally the flat monitor flickered on. The date and time lit above the white box, cursor blinking, waiting for password input. I didn’t bother. I had my answer—February 13, 2062.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Two weeks.” I was missing two weeks of memory. I looked down, saw my hands were shaking. I hardly noticed, my mind was reeling for explanations.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a joke. Had to be. Someone was going to a lot of trouble for a laugh, but who? Why? The crunch of car tires on our gravel drive stole my thoughts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nate was finally home. He would know what was happening. He’d explain everything, fix it. After eight years of marriage, our bond was stronger than anyone’s idea of a good joke. He’d understand how this was freaking me out, would put a stop to it. If I told him it wasn’t funny, he’d side with me no matter who was behind it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went to the door—reached for the knob. My hand stopped with my fingertips barely brushing the shiny brass handle. I couldn’t move closer. I couldn’t wrap my fingers around it. It wasn’t that I hesitated or was unsure what I wanted to do. No. I couldn’t physically make myself grab the doorknob.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Take the damn handle,” I said, like hearing it aloud might make a difference. But my body wouldn’t move. My hand just hung there, like a hook on the end of a cane.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I heard Nate shuffle up on the other side and saw the knob turn, I let the order to move slip from my mind. I stepped back until he’d swung the door open and—</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">T</span><span style="font-size: large;">he blood drained from my body. “Who are you?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tiny specks of snow melted on the shoulders of the man’s overcoat. His damp salt-and-pepper hair was neatly combed back from his forehead only to cluster in an odd snarl at the crown of his head. Behind the reddish-brass frame of his Connect Wear glasses I could see a scar across his right brow that disappeared in a worried crease above warm honey brown eyes as he gave me a quick once-over and stepped inside. “What do you mean—?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I lunged for one of the long umbrellas in the metal stand under the house monitor and waved the silvery point in his direction. “Back off, buddy.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A mix of emotions flickered across his face—surprise, understanding, placation. He held up his hands in surrender, but then took another careful step forward, his voice calm. “Rach, it’s me.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn’t remember having ever seen this man before. My voice trembled, fear tightening my throat. “I don’t know you.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“You do.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“No.” I brandished the umbrella, frustration, fear, and dread adding to a growing storm in my head. Where the hell was Nate? “Who…who are you? Just tell me.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s okay, honey,” he said in that same soothing, patient way, as though nothing were more important than easing my fear. “I’m Nate. Your husband.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The statement plopped thick and heavy into a cold well of emptiness inside me. I didn’t know this man, but in that same instant, I realized I didn’t know Nate, either. I couldn’t remember what my husband—my best friend—looked like. I couldn’t remember anything beyond his name and what he meant to me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The loss stabbed my heart and made it hard to breathe, the umbrella suddenly too heavy in my hands. The man reacted almost instantly, reading me as though he knew my thoughts—knew me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Something must’ve gone wrong,” he said, hands still up, edging closer. “It’s okay, Rach. I can figure it out. I can fix it.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Fix it?” Seriously? “What do you think I am? You can’t just fix me.” My arms shook, struggling to keep the umbrella raised between us.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Okay. Okay,” he said as though rethinking his approach. “You’re right. But you have to be reasonable, honey. I need you to think. I can help you. You have to trust me.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Stop saying that. I don’t know you and you don’t know me,” I said, hating the squeak of panic in my voice.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Of course I know you. And I can prove it.” He glanced away for a second, thinking, then back to me, brows high. “I know you’re allergic to peanuts and you hate pepperoni pizza.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I shrugged, lowering the umbrella point a few inches. “Anyone who’s taken my order could know that.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Right.” His lips pressed into a flat line. I could see him thinking. Then his expression lifted, his brows going high, stretching the scar and making him kind of adorable, the way he was trying so hard. “Okay…I know you sleep on the right side of the bed. And you snore—even though you think you don’t. Sometimes you snore loud enough that you wake yourself up. And I know that ants freak you out more than spiders…but you don’t like them, either.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I shrugged. “The bed thing was a fifty-fifty chance and if I don’t think I snore, you saying I do isn’t really proof of anything. And who doesn’t hate ants and spiders?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He propped his hands on his hips and exhaled through his nose, mouth tight. There was something about his expression, about his frustration that seemed familiar…but like a tendril of smoke, I couldn’t grab hold of the memory. Still, it was sweet in a slightly weird way, how desperately he wanted to prove he knew me. Okay, if I was being honest, the man was stone cold sexy, the way his jaw tightened when he was deep in thought, pulling air through his nose, a day’s beard shadowing his chin. My stomach fluttered, and I looked away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Okay,” he said, twisting to finally close the front door. I flinched at the loud slam, but I didn’t protest. “How about this? You like for me to play with your hair when you can’t fall asleep—which I secretly love. But I keep that to myself otherwise I’d never get brownie points for doing it. Biting your neck is more of a turn-on for you than my nibbling your ear—although you like that, too. And you’re self-conscious about those three moles on your cheek, but like I’ve told you a million times, I think they’re sexy as hell.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Things low inside me heated with the erotically intimate turn of his examples. My mind instantly picturing this hunky man, with those soft-looking lips and bedroom eyes, doing each of the things he described. I loved my husband, but this guy was hot. And God, I loved the way his voice got deeper with each example, like just saying it turned him on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What if he was telling the truth? What if he wasn’t just reciting information but describing memories—memories of us, of me, his wife—that I didn’t have?</span></div>

<i>Taking sides could be deadly...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The war between good and evil is on, and nephilim Emma Jane is caught in the middle. Both sides want her working for them. And both sides know how to make her suffer if they don't like her choice. Now someone has raised the stakes and is using innocent humans as pawns in the ultimate fight for humanity...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emma Jane isn’t sure which side is responsible. What she used to believe about right and wrong, good and evil—even what she used to believe about herself—is changing. Because whether she likes it or not, the final reckoning comes down to Emma Jane Hellsbane. And she'll have to choose between humanity...and the man she was never supposed to love.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“It’s not up to Michael.” His broad shoulders
rose and fell with a deep sigh, and he began again. “Michael is powerful,
perhaps the most powerful of all seraphim. But he is only a seraph. My
absolution is not his to give. Only our Father can welcome me home again. No
one else.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

shook his head, looking away. “It’s a fool’s hope.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">He raised a brow. “Is that right? And by
sinning you mean lying with you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">I nodded, swallowing the sudden thickness in my
throat. Just the thought of being with him, the way his tone warmed, the look
in his eyes, made my body stir. Not good if we were going to stick to that no-sinning
thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">

want to share my bed?” He stepped closer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">I shrugged, pretending it was no big deal. But
what came out sounded more like desperate denial. “I mean, well…y’know…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">He stepped closer, his hands going to my hips,
and my breath caught, my heart jumping in my chest. “Eli…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“What if I don’t want to stop?” His voice washed
over me, a soft, soothing caress. “What if there’s nothing more I want than to
have you in my bed, to feel your body next to mine?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“You’re only saying that because you don’t
believe you can go back.” I couldn’t stop the stupid quaver in my voice. My
mouth was so dry it was hard to swallow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">His arms slipped around me, big hands splaying
at the small of my back, pulling me to him. He leaned down, whispering against
my ear. “I say that because I want you in my bed. I want to feel your body next
to mine. I want to feel my body inside of yours.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">I exhaled a shaky breath, and everything inside
me melted. “That’s not fair.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">“No. It’s not.” His breath warmed against my
neck, his lips pressing softly again and again, trailing kisses down to my
collarbone. Each touch was like gasoline on a fire, and heat flamed through me,
my mind spinning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Not a lot here on the frozen tundras of Ohio. But I realized that I hadn't posted anything on this blog thingy since October and it was buggin' me. So...I figured I'd post an update.<br />
<br />
Okay, first, HELLSBANE series. Book 3 HELLSBANE HEREAFTER will be coming soon. I swear it! It's all written and ready and sitting somewhere in the mountain of work on my editor's desk. I haven't gotten a cover (but I'm guessing it will have the chick with the "eyebrows" on it in some way.) As soon as I get it and the PTB give me the thumbs up. I'll share it. YAY!!<br />
<br />
Next...<br />
<br />
I'm working on a new project that I'm SUPER excited about. I don't want to give a lot away because...<br />
<br />
Okay, because I'm paranoid and superstitious and generally troubled in many, many,...many ways. BUT...I don't mind giving hints. So....<br />
<br />
This next project will be a <b>Paranormal </b>(naturally)<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Someone’s killing angels and turning the half human, half angel illorum warriors against their angelic supporters. If the supernatural baddy behind the attacks isn’t stopped soon, Heaven itself could fall victim. The Council of Seven has called in the best they’ve got to find the killers, and no one’s more surprised than Emma Jane Hellsbane when it’s her phone that rings.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
But when her own angelic mentor—and off-limits hottie—Eli is targeted, Emma takes it personally. With Emma hot on the trail of the growing army of assassins, though, hackles start to raise around her. Everyone wants to know if she’s in it to protect all angels or just one in particular. The Council has their suspicions…and so does Emma’s boyfriend.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Now Emma isn’t just fighting off demons, rogue nephilim, and Fallen angels, but she’s defending her honor as well. The problem is even Emma Jane isn’t sure of her motives. One thing she does know: if she doesn’t figure out the killers’ identities soon, she may not live long enough to know what, or who, she really wants.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<i>It’s all in a day’s work as Heaven’s ultimate bounty hunter.</i></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<o:p> </o:p>Okay, so it was years ago, back when I was seventeen or
so. My family’s home is out in the boonies—farm fields surrounded by deep
forest. One night me, my best friend, Dee, her boyfriend, Steve, and his best
friend, Gerry, were hanging out near my home on a tiny one lane bridge off a
dead end road. The dead end road passed beside a long open field. At the other
end of the field (maybe a quarter of a mile long) was a small brick building
owned by a local company. They manufactured something…I was never sure what.
But it was just a small one story building with six normal sized windows on
each side.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Growing up I’d heard the stories
about the horrible accident that happened in that building. Rumor was a worker
had gotten caught up in some of the machinery and had been mangled so badly he
died. Who knows if that actually happened? But there were all kinds of stories
about lights turning on and off at night when no one was there and people
seeing someone passing across the windows when the business was closed. The
point is the place was supposed to be haunted by this poor dead employee. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
So, this dark night Steve and
his friend Gerry were riding Gerry’s dirt bike and it’d broken down at the edge
of the building’s parking lot. My friend, Dee and I had driven them in my car
to Gerry’s house to get some tools, then back to the bike. I should mention
that in the country there aren’t many street lights. Some people have what we
called Dusk to Dawn lights provided by the power company, but you don’t really
find them along wooded roads or in open fields. The point is, it gets really,
really dark.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The building had two lights
though and Gerry had left his dirt bike leaning against the pole of one of
them. Like I said, it was a small business, small building and therefore a
small parking lot—gravel covered. So the tall light was only about ten feet
from the corner of the building. Dee and I dropped them off right next to the
bike, then drove the quarter mile to the dead end road at the other end of the
field to wait for them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I parked my car right off the
main road and Dee and I sat on the little bridge to wait for Steve and Gerry to
ride through the field on the repaired bike. It was dark, but we all lived in
the area so it wasn’t uncomfortable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
We’d been waiting about thirty
minutes when we heard this weird moaning sound. It kind of sounded like a wind
up siren that wasn’t quite working right. Dee and I got really quite, listening,
trying to figure out what it was. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Then suddenly the sound of feet
rushing through knee high grass joined the weird moan, and someone said, “Keep
going. Just keep going.” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Dee and I peered through the
darkness in the direction of the voice but couldn’t see anything until Steve
and Gerry were about 15 feet away…no bike, no tools, both running full tilt
through the black night.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
They flew over the big steal gate
that closed the entrance to the field, ran up the road toward us, ran passed
us, over the bridge right up to my car and jumped in. As they raced by I heard
Gerry yell. “Get in the car! Get in the car! Get in the Car!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Steve didn’t really say
anything, he was too busy making that weird mewling sound like a broken siren,
his arms pumping like a steam train, eyes wide hair—I kid you not—on end!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Dee and I aren’t exactly the
brave-in-the-face-of-danger sort, so when our guy friends ran past us, skin
pasty white, eyes as big a coke bottles saying, “Get in the car!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
We got in the car!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I think I might have broken the
land speed record getting us out of there. We drove to the nearest brightly lit
spot—the truck stop down the road—and parked. Steve was shaking like I’d never
seen in the back seat. His pale skin had a kind of green tint to it. Gerry was
sitting next shaking his head saying, “That didn’t happen. That didn’t happen.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
It took about fifteen minutes
for the guys to calm down and when they finally did they told us what had
happened after we dropped them off. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Gerry was kneeling down, working
on the bike. Steve was standing on the other side handing him tools. Steve’s
back was to the building, and Gerry’s view of the building was blocked by Steve.
After a few minutes Steve heard a knocking sound. He asked Gerry if he heard it
and when he stopped to listen, he said he did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
They stared at each other for a
second, listening… knock-knock-knock…knock-knock-knock. Gerry said, “Sounds
like someone knocking on a window or something.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Steve turned around and Gerry
leaned to the side and both boys looked at the last window nearest them on the
building. There, inside the dark building stood a man, light brown hair, kind
of long to his shoulders, dressed in a green worker’s uniform. They met his
eyes for a half second and then the man backed up four or five steps.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Suddenly his face creased, anger
glinting in his eyes and raced straight at the window. The impact of his head
against the glass was audible, hitting so hard his skull exploded like a ripe
melon. Blood splatter everywhere, gray matter dripping in the mix. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The boys screamed, dropped their
tools, let the bike fall and ran. They got maybe twenty feet before they first
heard the pound of foot steps behind them. Neither one dared look back, but
they knew whoever—<i>whatever</i> was
chasing them was gaining fast. Gerry was out in front, with Steve only three or
four strides behind. So when something snagged the back of Steve’s shirt, they
both knew it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Steve felt himself jerked back,
his feet going out from under before he landed hard on his butt. Gerry didn’t
stop. He yelled back, “Keep going! Keep going!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
His friend scrambled to his
feet, fighting against the hands pawing at him, trying to hold him down. He didn’t
look at what was grabbing him, he just fought his way free started running
again. He caught up with Gerry and both boys didn’t stop until they reached my
car. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I considered that maybe Gerry
and Steve were just messing with us, but if they were, they’re amazing actors.
They insisted on leaving their dirt bike and tools in the parking lot where
they’d dropped them until the next day, knowing anyone could steal them. So if
it was all a trick just to scare me and Dee, they were risking a lot. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I don’t think I’ve ever been as
scared as I was that night. And to this day I still refuse to look at that end
window when I drive by the little building. <o:p></o:p></div>

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. No surprise since I love reading and writing about angels, demons, vampires, werewolves...pretty much anything supernatural. As part of the blog hop, I'm giving away a print copy of HELLSBANE (the first book in my urban fantasy series) and these adorable stuffed teddy bears--one angel bear (in honer of my Hellsbane series), and one witch bear (in honor of the season.)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hi. I’m Emma Jane Hellsbane. (Yes. I
know it rhymes. Let it go. Seriously.) I guess since Paige wrote that book,
HELLSBANE, about my life people think I’m just some literary character and all
the stuff in the book about me being a nephilim (half-human, half-angel) and
being marked to hunt and kill my angelic father is just something she pulled
out of thin air. Don’t I wish! And the stuff about fallen angels raping human
women, demons being brought up from the abyss to kill people like me, the
constant attacks, the sword fights, the severed heads, is all just made up.
Right. *snort* Whatever gets your snooze on at night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Am I real? Are fallen angels and their
demon minions real? Have they been known to rape human women? This urban legend
just might help you make up your mind. Ever hear of the Sri Lankan Grease
Devil? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Okay, so here’s the thing, about a
year ago I was surfing the web and came across this urban legend sight talking
about some trouble going on in Sri Lanka. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve had a soft spot for the place ever
since my magister—uh, he’s kind of my angelic mentor...my hot, totally off
limits angelic mentor—took me there on a heart stopping, romantic world wind
tour to get a feel for the powers that come with being half angel. So when I
saw the story about the creatures, the locals were calling Grease Devils, who
were sneaking into the homes of single mothers and widows at night, biting and
raping them, I knew I had a job to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As a marked nephilim it’s my job to
banish fallen angels and their demon minions to the abyss. So I knew it was a
demon the people of Sir Lanka were dealing with. After all, fallen angels had
been seducing women since the beginning of time. Heaven had warred over it,
thousands of angels had been banished for it, and it’s why people like me
existed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Demons were just fallen angels who’d
been banished to the abyss eons ago and brought back by the newly fallen angels
to serve them. Once they’re back in the world old lusts inevitably rise again
except time in the hole changes them and their desires get twisted. That’s what
was happening in Sir Lanka. An old angel turned demon wanted sex, he lusted for
human flesh in every way and it would only get worse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The police and government officials weren’t
any help. They were calling him a prowler, saying he was just a normal man
dressed in his underwear, who’d covered his face and body with grease to avoid
capture. Even a facebook page started by some concerned locals didn’t help
change their minds. Maybe there were a few run-of-the-mile human perverts who’d
taken advantage of the demon’s MO to get their jollies. Or maybe it was the
other way around. Didn’t matter. Vigilantes did what they had to. People were
dying—whether they were guilty or not. But still the demon was running free.
Even if they managed to catch him they wouldn’t be able to stop him. Demons are
too strong, too fast. Stopping him was my job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Being half angel means I can travel at
the speed of thought. Well, almost the speed of thought. My human half slows me
down a little. But one second I was in my house in Pittsburgh and the next I
was in Sri Lanka, walking the almost desolate island road sometime past
midnight. I took a deep breath, taking
in the sweet evening air, cool and moist after a light rain with just a hint of
rotting eggs. Except it wasn’t rotten
eggs, it was brimstone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Most people can’t smell demons, but to
the marked they stink of the abyss. Made it easy to track him to a small two
room house. The back door was open and I followed the stench of the demon
through the kitchen and into the bedroom. I didn’t even see the woman at first,
my gaze going straight to the demon still in human form kneeling on all fours
against the wall three feet off the floor. He was oblivious to me, so crazed by
sex and blood and human flesh. And then I saw the helpless woman under him,
naked, legs and arms spread wide, neck ripped and bloody, held to the wall by
demonic power. She’d been rapped and now she was being eaten. Bad had gotten
worse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I pulled the hilt of my sword from the
special sheath at the small of my back, willing the blade to materialize, to
gather matter from this plane and the other, to form sharp and gleaming. Faster
than the human eye can track I moved on him, swinging my sword, aiming steady
and sure for his neck. A half second before metal met flesh the fiend’s head
snapped to me, face white with grease paint, eyes wide, mouth and chin dripping
with blood. An instant after that my blade passed through meat and bone. His
head was gone, bouncing along the floor to roll under the bed, <i>thump, thwap, thump, thwap, thump.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His body dropped in a heap, the head
already smoldering. Body and all would melt in a matter of minutes, disintegrating
into a pile of black goo that reeked of rotten eggs. It took another minute for
the demon’s power to release the woman. She fell with an ungraceful thud,
crumpled and lifeless. The demon had killed her, but at least she’d be the last
to die at his hand. The Grease Devil of Sir Lanka, the real Grease Devil, was
dead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Someone’s killing angels and turning the half human, half angel illorum warriors against their angelic supporters. If the supernatural baddy behind the attacks isn’t stopped soon, Heaven itself could fall victim. The Council of Seven has called in the best they’ve got to find the killers, and no one’s more surprised than Emma Jane Hellsbane when it’s her phone that rings.<br />
But when her own angelic mentor—and off-limits hottie—Eli is targeted, Emma takes it personally. With Emma hot on the trail of the growing army of assassins, though, hackles start to raise around her. Everyone wants to know if she’s in it to protect all angels or just one in particular. The Council has their suspicions…and so does Emma’s boyfriend.<br />
Now Emma isn’t just fighting off demons, rogue nephilim, and Fallen angels, but she’s defending her honor as well. The problem is even Emma Jane isn’t sure of her motives. One thing she does know: if she doesn’t figure out the killers’ identities soon, she may not live long enough to know what, or who, she really wants.<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simone's writing cave has one serious computer monitor. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek’s counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else’s family drama.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Ashtyn Parker knows one thing for certain–people you care about leave without a backward glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting Derek—someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all?</span></div>

Robin said, "My hubby gave me my closet for Christmas. He gutted my 8 feet by 22 feet closet and made the first 11 feet my closet and the last 11 feet my office. He painted and outfitted it with the desk, shelves. I have printed and matted prints of my covers on the left wall and the poster of ANoSC ws a gift from my printer on my debut.</div>

Like others born of Fallen angels, she’ll work as their bounty hunter, rounding up the Fallen and banishing them to the abyss. The trouble is, the Fallen won’t go quietly and Emma won’t be done until she finds the one Fallen angel who created her.</i></div>

Someone’s killing angels and turning the half human, half angel illorum warriors against their angelic supporters. If the supernatural baddy behind the attacks isn’t stopped soon, Heaven itself could fall victim. The Council of Seven has called in the best they’ve got to find the killers, and no one’s more surprised than Emma Jane Hellsbane when it’s her phone that rings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But when her own angelic mentor—and off-limits hottie—Eli is targeted, Emma takes it personally. With Emma hot on the trail of the growing army of assassins, though, hackles start to raise around her. Everyone wants to know if she’s in it to protect all angels or just one in particular. The Council has their suspicions…and so does Emma’s boyfriend.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now Emma isn’t just fighting off demons, rogue nephilim, and Fallen angels, but she’s defending her honor as well. The problem is even Emma Jane isn’t sure of her motives. One thing she does know: if she doesn’t figure out the killers’ identities soon, she may not live long enough to know what, or who, she really wants.</div>
<div>
<i>It’s all in a day’s work as Heaven’s ultimate bounty hunter.</i><br />

arms around me from behind, holding me in the warmth of his embrace at the edge
of the Canadian falls. Pale, colorful lights illuminated the massive curtain of
water and a cool, misty breeze washed over us. I knew it was late, but I wouldn’t
let myself worry over the exact time. Not yet. I didn’t want the evening to
end. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against his chest, breathing in
the soothing scent of him. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> He huddled around me, his lips brushing my
ear, sending a quick volley of tingles over my skin. “I’ve missed you,” he
said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
swallowed hard, drowning in the emotion at the back of my throat. “I’ve missed
you too,” I said, but my voice cracked, the last of it barely a whisper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He
turned me around, one arm holding my waist, the other hand catching my chin and
raising my gaze to his. “They were wrong, Emma Jane. What I feel, it’s not what
they think, what they fear. It can’t be…it’s more than that. I’ve been at
home—at peace with my brothers, but you have never left my thoughts. There are
so many wondrous things on heaven and earth that I wanted to show you, to share
with you. It seemed every moment something new would make my mind turn to ask
for your thoughts and my eyes search for your face. A comfort I’d grown
accustomed to without realizing. A comfort I am finding it difficult to live
without. I am lost without you. For even surrounded by all those who love me I
am alone—unfinished. I missed you. Why is that wrong?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> My chest tightened and I inhaled
hard, forcing my lungs to fill. I knew by the way he’d said it that he wasn’t
really asking me, but I wished with all my heart I could give him an answer. “I
don’t know.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> “Neither do I.” Before the last of
his words left his mouth, Eli leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Heat
spread through my body like a bolt of lightning, warming me from the inside out
in an instant. My mind spun as his tongue stroked against my lips, gentle at
first and then more demanding. I opened to him, tasting his sweet warmth—the
warmth of an angel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His
arms slipped around me, pulling me closer until our bodies molded to each
other. The hardness of his excitement pressed against me, cueing my brain,
crystallizing my awareness. The risk we were taking, what it meant if we let go
of our last thread of control, melted from my thoughts. We could do this. We
could be together. All that was stopping us was…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Eli’s eternal life and…Dan</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">. I broke the
kiss and pushed back from Eli’s heavenly embrace, the cool chill of the falls’
misty breeze making the loss of his warmth all the more acute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’m
sorry. I…” Like a curtain had suddenly been lifted, reality blazed through my
thoughts. “What time is it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I
don’t know,” he said with a soft laugh. Angels have little concept of time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He
reached for me, but I moved back checking my watch. “Shit, Eli. I’m late.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today Natalie Damschroder has stopped by to share her writing cave. YAY!!! Natalie is the author of HEAVY METAL, a paranormal novel from Entangled Publishing. So I'm super excited to see where she dreams up the fantastic characters from the book.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Natalie said she considered cleaning up her desk before taking the photo, but then she saw Jennifer Crusie's photo in the archives, and decided to leave it as is. <i>[That's okay, Natalie. A messy desk is the sign of a busy creative mind...said someone somewhere one time...I'm sure!] </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can see some of Natalie's passions surrounding her "creation station." Behind the desk is a poster for the New England Patriots' three Super Bowl wins and one of Legolas and Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings. If you look closely, you can also see a Legolas figurine hanging out to keep her company. That was a loaner from good friend Misty Simon to get Natalie through her deadline panic.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fresh air, a mega mug of tea, and Legolas as a muse. Everything a hard-working writer needs!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Thanks, Natalie! This was great!!!</i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The world is not what Riley Kordek imagined. On the run from those who’ve targeted her, all Riley wants is a chance to figure out her new ability to bend metal’s energy. When a hot guy who knows more than he should helps her escape her attackers, she thinks she might’ve found someone who can lead her to the answers she needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Three years ago, Sam Remington walked away from his employer and the woman he loved, and now, all he’s looking to do is fill the gaping hole left behind. Except, when Sam takes Riley to the Society for Goddess Education and Defense, the stakes rise beyond what either of them could have imagined.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After being alone for so long, falling for Sam would be far too easy—and far too painful, once his old flame calls needing his help. Worse, Riley uncovers a plot with disastrous ramifications not only for herself, but for Sam and the people he loves—and potentially every goddess in the country.</div>

<i>Emma Jane Hellsbane was born different, the child of Fallen angel and human—the child of sin. But Heaven has a way for her to make amends for her birth. Like others born of Fallen angels, she’ll work as their bounty hunter, rounding up the Fallen and banishing them to the abyss. The trouble is, the Fallen won’t go quietly and Emma won’t be done until she finds the one Fallen angel who created her.</i></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Someone’s killing angels and turning the half human, half angel illorum warriors against their angelic supporters. If the supernatural baddy behind the attacks isn’t stopped soon, Heaven itself could fall victim. The Council of Seven has called in the best they’ve got to find the killers, and no one’s more surprised than Emma Jane Hellsbane when it’s her phone that rings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But when her own angelic mentor—and off-limits hottie—Eli is targeted, Emma takes it personally. With Emma hot on the trail of the growing army of assassins, though, hackles start to raise around her. Everyone wants to know if she’s in it to protect all angels or just one in particular. The Council has their suspicions…and so does Emma’s boyfriend.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now Emma isn’t just fighting off demons, rogue nephilim, and Fallen angels, but she’s defending her honor as well. The problem is even Emma Jane isn’t sure of her motives. One thing she does know: if she doesn’t figure out the killers’ identities soon, she may not live long enough to know what, or who, she really wants.</div>
<div>
<i>It’s all in a day’s work as Heaven’s ultimate bounty hunter.</i><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now for the second exclusive excerpt of the upcoming installment of the <span style="color: #cc0000;">HELLSBANE </span>series, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">HEAVEN AND HELLSBANE</span></span></div>
<div>
Book 2<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Dan,
people are dying. I have to help if I can. You know that, right? I can’t just
stop to go chase every thin lead.” But I knew it was a flimsy excuse. I’d
barely even thought about the blurry photo of the angel who’d seduced my
mother. Was I ignoring the chance to find my angelic father because a part of
me didn’t want to leave this life? I didn’t know anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“You
make your choices, and I’ll make mine,” Dan said. Then to the demon he said,
“Tell me how this works. What do I have to do to trigger my power?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
point of Bariel’s sword lowered slightly as he pulled another sword from his
hip. The black blade sizzled into existence as it drew from the hidden
sheath—the air around it wavering like heat vapors, thin smoke rolling off the
forming metal. “It’s quite simple. Use this sword to take the sword of a
magister, and then kill him with it. Then we’ll see what happens.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dan
reached out for the sword, but the demon held it back suspiciously before
allowing the cop to take it in his grip. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Any
magister?” Dan asked, and the demon beamed like a proud father.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Yes.
Any magister. Even Elizal, if you like.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dan
nodded, marveling at the weapon in his hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Please,
Dan. Don’t do this,” I said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He
got to his feet, ignoring me. “So it can hurt magisters. What will it do to
demons?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Pardon?”
Before Bariel could puzzle out the question, Dan slashed the sword across the
belly of the demon, drawing a quick line of black, oozing blood. The momentum
of his swing spun him around and he threw the gibborim weapon to me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
toss was short, but I sped forward and caught it. Doc Westly was on my heels,
but the moment of confusion played to my advantage and I twisted in time for
the gibborim to race right into the blade—skewering himself through the gut.
His blue eyes widened, surprise and pain playing across his face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Emma
Jane,” Eli said, and I glanced across the overlook to where the bodies of the
other two gibborim lay. I watched as Eli snatched up my sword. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Stupid
soul sack,” Bariel said and I spun back to see the demon’s sword stab through
Dan’s back and out his chest. “I did promise to release you, did I not?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Disbelief
stretched the whites of Dan’s eyes and he looked down at the bloody blade, his
arms relaxed at his sides. His gaze came back up to me. “It’s okay,” he said, a
shaky smile playing across his lips. “I’m okay. It doesn’t hurt.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A
scream ripped through my head, my mouth open, gaping, and soundless. Precious
seconds ticked by but I couldn’t move, couldn’t think, my body like stone, freezing
me to the spot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Bariel
pulled back his sword, yanking it from Dan’s spine, and the man’s knees
buckled. Before his body hit the ground, Eli appeared at his side, catching
him. With a backhanded swing, the angel sliced a line across the demon’s neck
that I knew in an instant wasn’t deep enough. But it was all Eli needed to
allow him time to vanish with Dan in his protective embrace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 25pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">

It's so great to have Rachel Harris on my blog today sharing pics of her writing cave. Rachel is the author of the upcoming heart melting contemporary romance, Taste The Heat, from Entangled Publishing<br />
And the fabulously popular YA (young adult) novel, A Tale of Two Centuries.<br />
<br />

Rachel said, "My writing cave is often filled with Diet Mt. Dew cans and occasionally with candy wrappers, but it's always stocked with books. Reference books like Noah Lukeman's The First Five Pages and Ackerman's The Emotion Thesaurus, and favorite novels that inspire me (way too many to name). Binders filled with character notes and detailed plot points, sketches and random thoughts. And for when my brain just locks up, I have two thick volumes of Sudoku puzzles (*grin*). Sticky notes are EVERYWHERE. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">On the wall, I have posters from my recent summer releases (adult romance Taste the Heat and YA A Tale of Two Centuries), as well as sketches from fans and my children. And that maroon pom pom? That was from at Entangled game at my first Romantic Times conference, and the first big event I attended as a "Published Author." All of these things make me smile. They truly tell the story of my journey. And on days when words just aren't coming, a quick glance around my cave reminds me of why I do this, that I can do this, and motivates me to dive back in and continue doing this. </span></div>

<i> One sexy fire captain. One Cajun chf. One combustible kitchen…</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When chef Colby Robicheaux returned home to New Orleans to save her family restaurant, the last person she expected to reconnect with was her brother’s best friend and her childhood crush. As tempting as a sugar-coated beignet, Jason is one dish she can’t afford to taste. Colby can’t wait to leave the place where her distrust of love and commitment originated and go back to Vegas. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Fire captain Jason Landry isn’t looking for love, either. Disillusioned by his past, he knows he should be focusing on finding the perfect mother for his daughter. But when he first sees Colby, all grown up and gorgeous, he can’t help but be drawn to her. And when she suggests a no-strings-attached fling, Jason can’t say no.</div>
</div>
</div>
As their relationship grows more intense, Colby finds that Jason isn’t as easy to leave behind as she thought. Could turning up the heat on something real be worth the possibility of getting burned?<br />

<b>A TALE OF TWO CENTURIES</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Alessandra D’Angeli is in need of an adventure. Tired of her sixteenth-century life in Italy and homesick for her time-traveling cousin, Cat, who visited her for a magical week and dazzled her with tales of the future, Alessandra is lost. Until the stars hear her plea.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One mystical spell later, Alessandra appears on Cat’s Beverly Hills doorstep five hundred years in the future. Surrounded by confusing gadgets, scary transportation, and scandalous clothing, Less is hesitant to live the life of a twenty-first century teen…until she meets the infuriating—and infuriatingly handsome—surfer Austin Michaels. Austin challenges everything she believes in…and introduces her to a world filled with possibility.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With the clock ticking, Less knows she must live every moment of her modern life while she still can. But how will she return to the drab life of her past when the future is what holds everything she’s come to love?</div>

Cathryn says she's a huge fan of M&M’s, and on the table beside her office reading chair she has an M&M dispenser with candy in it. (Which, according to her, needs to be refilled often!) </div>

Like others born of Fallen angels, she’ll work as their bounty hunter, rounding up the Fallen and banishing them to the abyss. The trouble is, the Fallen won’t go quietly and Emma won’t be done until she finds the one Fallen angel who created her.</i></div>

She’s half angel, too, and now Heaven’s got a job for her: round up all the Fallen angels and their red-skinned, horned devil-demon minions and boot their butts back into the abyss. Only problem? The demons and their Fallen masters fight back…and they don’t fight fair.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Luckily for Emma, she can put a stop to the constant threat of having her head hacked off if she figures out which Fallen angel is her father—and then kill him before he kills her. Of course, in the meantime, she’ll have to avoid accidentally seducing her angelic mentor, help an old friend conquer his own Fallen sperm donor, and basically save the world from a cataclysmic divine smack down.</div>
</div>
<div>
<i>No one said being Heaven’s bounty hunter would be easy. But with a name like Hellsbane, Emma Jane was born for the job.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Perhaps you’ve mistaken my statement for a
request,” Eli said. “It wasn’t.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Ah. So it’s like that, is it?” I raised a brow, teasing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He snaked an arm around my waist, jerked me to him
so our bodies were flush against each other. I gasped, my hands going to his
chest on reflex.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Yes,” he said. “It’s like that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">A soft wind shifted through my hair, and the world
around us blurred as if in motion. But our feet hadn’t moved. The overlook, the
cars, the townhouses, the sky, everything raced past us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Then it was gone. Darkness engulfed us, with only
the distant stars twinkling in the vast emptiness. My hands leached around
Eli’s neck, brought us cheek to cheek. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“You’re safe in my arms, Emma Jane. Always,” he
said, his lips brushing my ear. A shudder traveled straight down to my center with
the sweet sound of his words. The man had an orgasmic voice. What a waste.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">His embrace loosened, and I leaned back enough to
see his face. A soft glow lightened the shadows from behind me, just enough to
cast a silvery glow over his expression. Time and space suddenly rushed in on
me, and my brain spun like I’d been twirling around on my toes for an hour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I let go of him with one hand, pressing it to my
forehead to stop the spin and to keep my brain from coming out of my ears.
“What was that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Your mind is struggling to match speed with your
body. May I help?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I’d told him once never to use his power to give me
false rapture, but it was like asking a fish not to swim. I nodded and he
rested his hand over mine, the warmth of his skin heating through me. The
nauseating twirling stopped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“I hoped moving slower would help lessen the shock,
but it seems the effect allowed your vision too much time to try and
compensate,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“We moved at angelic speed?” I asked, guessing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“No. I am able to travel at the speed of thought. We
moved an increment slower.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Um, thanks.” I tried to see over his shoulder, to
get my bearings, but I couldn’t push up on my toes. I moved the muscles, and
nothing happened. I looked at my feet—there was nothing beneath us. No floor, no
ground, no...anything, just more blackness and millions and millions of distant
twinkly lights.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">An icy bolt of panic shot up my spine and I clutched
at Eli. My gut twisted and a scream caught in the back of my throat. Eli hugged
me tight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Where are we?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Look behind you,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">It took a few seconds of internal argument, but
eventually my courage rallied, and I glanced over my shoulder. “Is that...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Earth,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Sheer awe loosened my grip. I shifted my feet to
his—I had to stand on something—and turned, holding his hands to my hips to
anchor me, my back to his chest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The world looked exactly the way it does in all the
pictures...but so much more. More beautiful, more breathtaking than any picture
could capture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">There was a storm swirling over one of the oceans,
and night was quickly approaching for half the world. A thick line of darkness
crept over land and water as the planet spun. On the other side, brilliant
light ate away the darkness at exactly the same pace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“This can’t be real. How?” I asked, my brain
fighting reason and everything I knew about space and time and reality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">His hands slipped over my belly, his embrace
enveloping me. “In the arms of an angel, Emma Jane, all things are possible.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">My eyes closed, and I leaned back into his chest. I
tried not to enjoy the feel of him around me, but the heat of his body, the
comforting strength of his muscles, and the sweet, summery scent of his skin
decimated my willpower.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Behold what your birthright has brought you, Emma
Jane,” he said. “No mortal human could claim as much.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I opened my eyes and felt that rush of awe all over
again at the view. “It’s amazing, Eli. Thank you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“This is only the beginning. You have been chosen to
battle creatures far more powerful than mere mortals. You are not like other
humans; you cannot be. Your task requires much of you, and for it, much has
been given. Time and space unravel for you to traverse with the same intrinsic
understanding as those you hunt. The world is quite literally at your feet.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Before I could take a breath, I found myself staring
out over a large valley and an ocean beyond. Gone was the great global marble
spinning in the endless black of space. Suddenly, I was blinking at a waking
cityscape miles below with large water inlets and busy harbors. There was blue
sky above me and green land below. We were back on Earth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Hard, unrelenting wind whipped my hair, making it
hard to see. But I could make out the white sand-lined shores and the short
mountain ranges that blocked sections of the city from the ocean. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Where are we?” I yelled, but my voice was lost on
the roaring wind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Eli tucked me under his arm, and silence descended
over us like he’d closed a door. My hair floated back against my head and I
could stand on my own. I shoved at the strands over my face and tried to clue
in my brain. “Brazil.” Eli pointed at the city. “Rio de Janeiro.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“It’s beautiful.” My gaze followed the landscape
below to the base of the mountain, then to the long winding staircase tracing
up the side until they disappeared far below the edge of the outcropping we
stood on. It’d been nearly six a.m. in Pittsburgh by the time Eli and I left
Earth, which made it nearly seven a.m. in Rio, and the city was already
bustling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">What
are we standing on? </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I fisted my hand around Eli’s jacket and
leaned over for a better look. “No way. Christ the Redeemer? Seriously?” We
were on his arm and I looked to the left at the huge, white, carved face of
Jesus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Remarkable, isn’t it?” Eli said. “And yet it pales
in comparison to the miracle that is you and those like you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">He smiled wide, so pleased with himself, and I could
<i>almost</i> forgive him for not warning me
one wrong step could send me tumbling over a hundred feet to the very, <i>very</i> hard landing below.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-indent: .5in;">

I am so envious of this space! What an awesome nook to cuddle up in and let the characters in her head come to life. Looks like Nina's not alone when she writes. Not with that cute pooch to snuggle up with her.</div>

(A Babysitting a Billionaire Novel)</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Four years after escaping her abusive ex-husband, Kim finally believes she’s in control of her life and her emotions and she's determined to never risk either again with a man. She has a great home, a job as a security specialist which she loves, and Jake for a best friend. But things are a tad lonely in the sex department, so she decides to embark on a no-strings-affair with one of her hot co-workers. And who better to help her remember how to lure a man than her best friend?<br />
<br />
Jake has wanted Kim from the moment he first saw her, but four years ago, she was too young and too damaged. So he kept her close and he kept her safe, offering her a job in his security company and the training to feel safe again, and he bided his time. But now, after the long wait, if she imagines he’s going to stand by while she seduces some other guy… Never going to happen.<br />
