• Awaited is finally here…


    Today’s an exciting day!!!!! Thanks for sharing it with me. Russell’s story is now out for the world to read…well, at least some of the people in the world. *LOL*

    Book Blurb for Awaited:

    The voice is a powerful thing. . .

    Russell Leonard is a centuries-old Guardian who’s lost faith in his purpose. So when he’s charged with procuring the first female Guardian in over two centuries, he can only hope it’s the red-headed beauty who’s been haunting his dreams for months. And if it is, he intends to claim her as his. But when he finds his dream woman, Annabelle is mute and bears no Guardian’s Mark.

    He soon realizes she’s been tainted by an ancient evil. Russell must somehow release the secrets trapped within this delicate soul to help her tap into the only weapon powerful enough to silence a millennia-old demon-her voice.

    You know what’s pretty cool? I get to share a book birthday with my dear friend, Kendall Grey!!!!INHALE is the first book in theJUST BREATHEtrilogy. You know what’s EVEN COOLER???? –>Kendall is donating all profits from the sale of the trilogy to programs that educate people about whales and the challenges they face. Watch thevideoto find out why.

    The story is pretty amazing. I must warn you, though, it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s pretty hot and heavy, has some big battles in it, but let me tell you, it’s a great story. Unique, creative, and soooo intense.

    INHALE blurb:

    Strangers in reality, inseparable in dreams…After years of suffocating under her boss’s scrutiny, whale biologist Zoe Morgan finally lands a job as director of a tagging project in Hervey Bay, Australia. Success Down Under all but guarantees her the promotion of a lifetime, and Zoe won’t let anything-or anyone-stand in her way. Not the whale voices she suddenly hears in her head, not the ex who won’t take no for an answer, and especially not the gorgeous figment of her imagination who keeps saving her from the fiery hell of her dreams.Gavin Cassidy hasn’t been called to help a human Wyldling in over a year, which is fine by him. Still blaming himself for the death of his partner, he keeps the guilt at bay by indulging in every excess his rock star persona affords. That is, until he’s summoned to protect Zoe from hungry Fyre Elementals and learns his new charge is the key to restoring order in the dying Dreaming. He never expects to fall for the feisty Dr. Morgan…nor does he realize he may have to sacrifice the woman he loves to save an entire country.

    Ordinary world . . .

    So, this is a remake of the Duran Duran song and I LOVE IT! This video is visually amazing. I love the painting and drawing. My character, Annabelle, in Awaited, is an artist. Her skill comes in pretty handy in the book…but I can’t really tell you how or I’ll give away too much.

  • P is for Pillar


    Had to tap into the #AWAITED playlist today for the A to Z Music Themed blog challenge.

    I’m new to Pillar, but their music is perfect for Awaited (Heck, Wasteland and Tainted, too) because it’s all about fighting the good fight. At least that’s how I interpreted the song!Here are a few lines that stuck out to me:

    Fight this thing until we won.

    Fight to live and live to fight.

    We live our lives on the front lines.
