<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Since
I was born and raised in Arkansas, then moved and lived most of my adult life
in New Jersey, I can tell you for certain each state has their own rudeness
technique.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">An
Arkansas rudeness will often be coated in fake sugar. They have made an art out
of insulting people with what ALMOST sounds like a compliment. </span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-align: center; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">A
New Jersey rudeness will be far more direct. (Expect an FU and a bird)</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">When Anna Baker is fired from her New York job, she accepts her
aunt and uncle’s offer to come live with them in the little town of Wabbaseka,
Arkansas. She discovers a house in dire need of repairs and her relatives in
need of proper care. Under the misconception that being unemployed means she
has no money, the local sheriff gets involved in her life, trying to determine
how she can afford the building materials to fix up the house. Her cousin, </span></strong><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Dewayne</span></b><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">,</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;"> appears and wants her evicted, and the FBI
thinks she’s involved in a money-laundering scheme. While Anna doesn’t find the
peace and quiet she seeks, she may find love…</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;"></span></strong></div>

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">An informal reception line seemed to have grown
so the entire town could meet Anna. Everyone got in line, except for one man in
the back of the church, who watched her like a hawk. When Anna had greeted the
last of the people, she helped the ancient-ones shuffle toward the back door.
The tall, slender man stepped out into the aisle as they neared. His light
brown hair cropped close to his head and his chiseled jaw set him apart.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Sheriff Carr, this is our great niece, Anna
Baker,” Peck said.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">He nodded in her direction but didn’t offer her
his hand. “Miss Baker. I’ve heard a lot about you.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Anna sensed the man’s words meant more than a
casual greeting. Deciding she was just growing paranoid, she shook off her
concern and thanked him. “How long have you been sheriff here?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“For about a year. I came here to retire, and
then discovered I didn’t like retirement.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Anna thought he looked a bit young and far too
spry to be close to retirement age.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“The sheriff is from a big city, too,” her aunt
added.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Houston,” the sheriff clarified. “And you’re
from New York City?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Actually, no. I’m from Denville, NJ.
Population 12,000.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“But honey, you worked in New York City.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“That is true.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">The sheriff’s light blue eyes studied her with
an eerie intensity. “What was your line of work, if you don’t mind my asking?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Financial Analyst.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“What does a financial analyst do?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“I was laid off. With the economy being bad,
the company stopped making acquisitions.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Anna was confused by his question. “I’ve only
known him a week, what’s your definition of friends?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Sheriff Carr smiled. “What’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">your</i> definition?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">God help her! She didn’t have time for this
shit. “I’ll have to think about that. But right now, I’d best get my aunt and uncle
home.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Anna had had it with his attitude. “I’ve got a
car.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“The green Subaru?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Yes.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Probably? Does that mean you might not be

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“It means I haven’t given the matter any
thought.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Well, if you stay in the state more than 90
days, you’re legally required to register the car in Arkansas.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Thank you for the notice. Now I really have to

the ass!</span></div>

Ten Peeves of Writing Teachers (Including ‘Vegetables for Authors’)</span></span></b></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">It all started in 1992.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I’d won a couple of crime fiction awards, and
the local college came calling.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Did I
want to come on faculty and teach in the writing program?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Hell, yes!<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>(Pass the scotch.)</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Over the years, I continued to teach fiction writing,
but also picked up English Lit, Marketing (my degree) and a few odd ones, like
Animation and Theatre.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Such is the life
of an itinerant college prof.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>(Pass the
scotch.)</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Twenty-four years later, I’m a full-time author.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Except for Wednesday nights, when I put on my
mask, don a cape, and turn into SUPER TEACH!<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>(Okay, ‘Crazy Author Prof.’ Too much time alone at a keyboard can be
scary.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Pass the scotch.)</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">Recently, a jovial colleague asked me if I
was a good teacher or an evil one.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I’m
definitely on the kind side of the equation.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>The last thing I want is to be a Dream Killer.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>But even the kindest, most dedicated writing
teachers can get frustrated.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So when
Anne suggested I rant on these pages, I gracefully accepted.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>(With the sort of grace that might be
associated with a herd of stampeding mastodons.)</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">So here are my top ten peeves as a writing

don’t need no stinkin’ genre” aka Students who turn their noses up at the
genres.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">In addition to basic and
advanced writing skills, I teach the genres in my course.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Meaning, we deconstruct each of the main
genres of fiction (mystery, thriller, romance, sci-fi, fantasy, horror,
western, literary…etc.) to see what publishers expect.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This is particularly important when it comes
to endings.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Mickey Spillane said those
famous words:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Your first page sells this
book.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Your last page sells the next one.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">Most publishers
categorize the books they accept into genres.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Most readers stick to a few genres they like best for their reading
pleasure.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>So it stands to reason that if
you can slot your work into an already active genre, you have a better chance
of getting published and read.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">Many students refuse to
classify their work.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They feel it is
‘selling out’ to do so. (Yes, I’ve heard this frequently.)<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They don’t want to ‘conform’ or be
associated with a genre that has a ‘formula.’<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>(One day I hope to discover that formula. I’ll be rich.)</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 48px;">
<br /></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">So I often start out with
half a class that claims to be writing literary fiction, even though not a
single student can name a contemporary literary book they’ve actually read.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Pass the scotch.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">These students have no
interest in writing fiction.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They really
only want to write one book ever, and that is their life story.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>But they know that memoirs of unknown people
don’t sell well, so they’re going to write it is a novel. Because then it will
be a bestseller. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13.33px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">Here’s what I tell them:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>What happens to you in real life – no matter
how dramatic and emotional it is for you – usually doesn’t make a good
novel.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Novels are stories.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Stories have endings, and readers expect
satisfactory endings.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Real life rarely
gives you those endings, and so you will have to make something up.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">So why the heck do you do it, Mel?<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>That’s time you could invest in writing your
own books…</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">It’s Vegetables for Authors.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Let me explain:</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: orange;">It takes me back to first principles.</span></span></i></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">I teach all three terms.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Every four months, I am reminded about goal/motivation/conflict.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Three act structure.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Viewpoint rules.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Creating compelling characters.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Teaching Crafting a Novel forces me to
constantly evaluate my own work, as I do my students. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In other words, it’s ‘vegetables for authors’ -
good for me.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: orange;">It’s the People. </span></span></i></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">By far, the most valuable thing about teaching a night
course year after year is it allows me to mix with people who would not
normally be part of my crowd.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Adult
students of all ages and backgrounds meet up in my classrooms, and many are
delightful.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I’ve treasured the varied
people I’ve met through the years, and keep in touch with many of them.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Getting to know people other than your own crowd (in
my case, other writers) is extremely valuable for an author.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>You’re not merely guessing how others different
from you may think…you actually *know* people who are different.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This helps you create diverse characters in
your fiction who come alive.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">As well, you meet people from different
professions…doctors, lawyers, salespeople, bank officers, government workers,
labourers, grad students, Starbucks baristas, roofers, police, firefighters,
chefs, paramedics.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>I have my own list of
people to call on, when I need to do research.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: orange;">It’s good for my Soul</span></span></i></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">I'm paying it forward. Believe it or not, I
didn't become an author in a vacuum. I had two mentors along the way who
believed in me. Michael Crawley and Lou Allin - I hope you are having a
fab time in the afterlife. Hugs all around, when I get there.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Students take writing courses for all sorts of
reasons.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Some take it for college course
credit.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Some take it for interest, as
they might take photography or cooking classes.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Some need an escape from dreary jobs, and a writing class can provide
that escape, if only temporarily.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>But
many actually do hope to become authors like I am.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>When I connect with one of them, and can help
them on their way, it is magic.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>There is
no greater high.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">No question, my life is richer through teaching
fiction writing, even if my bank account is not. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: orange;">You can help
Melodie’s bank account by buying her humorous books, like The Bootlegger’s
Goddaughter.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>This will keep her from
writing dreary novels that will depress us all.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Pass the scotch.</span> </span></i></div>

Arthur Ellis Award, and eight more awards for crime fiction. In 2015, Melodie

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The most commonly asked question I'm asked is where I get my ideas.</span></div>
<div class="so-global-h3" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For me, the answer is simple: </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">LIFE</span></div>

<span style="color: red;"></span><span style="color: orange;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="so-global-h3" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few months ago while I wrapped up the Jungle Island series, I wondered where to go next. What would everyone be excited to read? </span></div>
<div class="so-global-h3" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="so-global-h3" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After a trip to the feed store, and listening to a group of local ranchers talk about hard times during the California drought, I found my inspiration. Within minutes I was reaching for my notebook and scribbling like mad.</span></div>
<div class="so-global-h3" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I spent the next few days outlining the books in my upcoming</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />When telling a story in a different country than the one you live in, the famous advice: ‘Write what you know’ sent me researching what I did and didn’t know. I needed armed police officers to swarm the basement of the museum. Clearly these couldn’t be the nice friendly policeman who will help tourist find their way back to their hotel. Nope, I needed armed officers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Fortunately, I found them. They are called AFOs: Authorized Firearm Officers. And if you have a sadist killing a woman in the basement of the museum then that is exactly who you need to call.While the largest quantity of AFO’s protect London, I was impressed with how few AFO’s there are in England and how few deaths occur compared to New York City, or Newark New Jersey. The AFO had seven incidents for the entire year of 2016 in which police discharged firearms. The New York City Police officers could exceed that in a single weekend.</span></div>

All she knows is for the first time in this life, she is happy and with purpose in a quaint museum located in an ancient castle. Only Rainier, a ghost from the past, knows the complete truth, and a curse prevents him from warning her of the dangers that will end her life, as it has ended all her lives before. But this time, a man of his bloodline has entered the battle, so Rainier is not alone in his fight to keep Alice alive and well from the demon of their past.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />An intriguing tale that pits everlasting love against a deadly curse that has followed the heroine through all her lives. A ghost from her past and a good man in her current life risk everything to keep her alive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />While a part of him wanted to rush immediately to Alice, if Edward had a gun, such foolishness would only get him killed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />He needed to think and be logical.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />He hurried to the first floor. Upon spotting a security guard, he yelled, “Call 999 and ask for Scotland Yard. Tell them we have an armed man in the basement, holding a woman hostage and I believe she’s been harmed. Tell them we need an ambulance”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />The security guard’s eyes widened for a brief second before he pulled out his cell phone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Rein didn’t dare wait for the Scotland Yard to arrive. By then Alice could be dead. He needed to rescue her now. Carl stood before the basement door, blocking his way. Without a second thought, he slammed his fist into the side of Carl’s head. The bastard went down like a sack of potatoes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Discovering the door to the basement locked, he knelt and secured Carl’s set of keys. He then pulled Carl’s unconscious body away from the door. Noticing the security guard had frozen in stunned disbelief, he yelled, “Make the calls!”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />The guard approached. “I’ve made the calls sir, anything else you want me to do?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />“Yes. Lock this piece of shit up somewhere secure.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />After unlocking the basement door, Rein hurried down the steps to the main aisle. A rack of dresses had been pulled out into the aisle blocking his way. Slowly, he pushed open a space and attempted to push his way through. Only something hit him hard in the chest burning like hot embers. Then everything went black.</span></div>

“When it came to my attention that D.I.T. was going to Dublin, I thought of Torn Finngarick. After all he knew the culture and could, perhaps, be useful. I confess to the ulterior motive of wanting to see all the floaters brought in from the cold. He was one of the remaining few. And everybody deserves another chance. Right?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I mentioned earlier, my wife was working for Black Swan setting up a unit called Department of Interdimensional Trespass. It seemed that creatures coming and going at will were causing havoc that had, until recently, been unexplained, believed to be fiction of the myth or folklore variety, or dismissed as interplanetary visitations. Rosie was busy hiring and training people who were going to function as police.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I had served with Sir Finngarick when I was first knighted as the fourth member of the infamous Z Team and came to know him quite well. Most believed he was irredeemable. I did not.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When they transferred onto the larger Black Swan jet in Edinburgh, en route to Buenos Aires, Torn gave Raif a look that said, “We have arrived.” He then proceeded to flirt with the flight attendant for most of the trip. Not that his attention wasn’t welcome. Finngarick seemed to ooze sex from his pores when he turned his charm in the direction of a target.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course he was a healthy male elf interested in the physical expression of all that it means to be that, but there was also an element of satisfaction in having his choice of females, given the damage done by the profound social rejection of his developmental years.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raif’s eyes were closed, but he was smiling.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Do no’ be feignin’ sleep, boyo. I see you’re livin’ vicariously and perhaps learnin’ a trick or two about interactin’ with the fairer sex.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raif cocked an eye open. “You mean pie in the sky?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Her name is Amanda.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Is it now?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“’Tis. She might like you better if you gave yourself half a chance. You have the whole exotic look thing goin’ on.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raif opened both eyes and cocked a brow. “Exotic look thing? So now you’re attracted to me as well? Or maybe it’s instead. You bi, Torn? I think I should know before I throw in with you as partner. It’s a big step.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Great Paddy. You can actually speak words with multiple syllables. Who knew?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Interesting. An evasion rather than an answer.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No,” Torn chuckled. “I’m no’ bi. No’ even the least little. But I’m no’ blind. You’re good lookin’ enough for a human.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Thanks,” Raid said drily.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“All you’d need to interest women is to be interested in them. Hey. For that matter, between the two of us, seems more likely that you’re the one most likely to like guys.” Amanda swished up and set drinks down for each of them, lips twitching surreptitiously at the bit of conversation she overheard. “Hey, Amanda. Do you no’ find my friend here attractive?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amanda looked Raif over, while he flushed at the unwanted scrutiny. “Yes. Handsome.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Torn barked out a laugh. “See!” he almost shouted to Raif. “Aren’t you going to at least say thank you to the woman?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amanda hesitated for a second, but when she saw that Raif was busy glaring at Torn, she went about her business.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once she was gone, Raif said, “That was embarrassing, you freckle-faced fucker.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Torn gaped. “How is it embarrassin’ to be called handsome by a beautiful woman?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Because you put her on the spot. What was she going to say? ‘That guy? Fuck no. He’s hideous. Why would you embarrass him and me by asking that question?’”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finngarick shook his head. “Dude.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Don’t call me dude.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Why no’?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“For one thing it sounds ridiculous with your Irish accent.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Does it? Let’s call Amanda and ask her what she thinks about my accent.” When Torn looked toward the galley, Raif threw a rolled up magazine at Torn’s head. Laughing, Finngarick said, “So you’re checking the undecided box again.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a few minutes, Finngarick nudged Nighsong. “How’s your Spanish?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“S’okay. Why?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Why do you think? Because that’s what they speak in Buenos Aires.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Don’t worry about it. We’re not going to talk to vampire before we stake them.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Aye. ‘Tis true enough. But I’m thinkin’ more about after hours activities.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raif reopened one eye. “Girls. You mean girls. Do you ever think about anything else?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“’Course. But I am a healthy young elf with a healthy young…”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yeah. Yeah. I get it. Young. Dumb. Full of come.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You’d better leave the poetry to the Irish. And I resent bein’ called dumb. Who helped you through calculus?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Do not get me started on fucking calculus. What a colossal waste of a person’s time and energy? Do you believe we’re ever going to use calculus as vampire hunters?” Torn opened his mouth to speak, but Raif was on a tear. “No. We are not.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What has gotten into you? Is the cabin pressure pushin’ words out of your mouth that have just been lyin’ dormant for years waitin’ to be released?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Funny.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“One word. Two syllables. That’s more like it.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Maybe I didn’t have anything to say before now.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Who are you?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Raif offered up a shit eating grin. “I’m your fucking partner, soon-to-be Sir Finngarick.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the first time Torn had ever heard his name paired with the honorific ‘Sir’. It sobered him for a second, but not longer.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Aye. You are. Even if you become a nonstop jabber jaws.” Raif grunted. “That’s my man.”<br />
<br /></div>

He lost her to the stones of the Orkneys as they picnicked there on Lammas twenty years before.

<i><br /></i> <i>You met them in the Order of the Dragon Knights. Now, journey to the realm of the Fae and witness their legends!</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fenian Warrior, Conn MacRoich has traveled the earth for thousands of years, guarding the realm between mortal and Fae. His deeds are legendary. Yet, one mistake will force him on a journey to fix a broken time-line. However, on Conn’s quest, he must face a human female who will eventually bring this ancient warrior to his knees.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Ivy O’Callaghan inherits her uncle’s estate, she never imagines there will be more secrets to unravel, including the one she hides from the world. With the help of a mysterious stranger, she learns to trust and step out of the shadows. However, nothing prepares Ivy when she learns Conn's true identity.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the loom of fate weaves a thread around the lovers from two different worlds, will the sacrifices they make lead them to love? Or will their secrets destroy and separate them forever?<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Putting a fist to her mouth to stifle the laughter, Ivy turned when the front door to the pub blew open. The cold blast of air lashed across her face, but she gave no care. Her mouth became dry as the man stood there blocking what little light remained in the sky. His silver-blond wavy hair whipped around his chiseled face shaded by a light beard. Yet, it was those eyes that bore into hers—holding her captive. Were they silver or ice blue? She blinked several times, and swallowed.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The giant stepped into the pub and closed the door. Ivy’s gaze traveled the length of him as he made his way past her to the bar. She couldn’t help but follow him with her eyes. He was sinfully dressed in all black—jeans, boots, leather jacket opened to reveal a black tee. He was magnificent.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sweet Brigid,” whispered Erin. “Have the Vikings invaded Glennamore again?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The woman’s words snapped Ivy out of her lustful trance. She looked at her friend. “Vikings in Glennamore?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mac placed her coat over her shoulders and chuckled. “Do not fear they were banished many centuries ago. I’ll go see what the Viking wants. I’m sure he’s only passing through and needs a pint and some food. There’s nothing in Glennamore to raid.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The room blurred, and Ivy brushed a hand over her brow. “Not a Viking,” she uttered softly.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Erin placed a hand on her arm. “Are you all right?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ivy lifted her head. The gorgeous man leaned against the bar as Mac made his way to him. “I said he’s not a Viking.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Erin smirked. “You could have fooled me.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The man straightened as Mac pointed a finger directly in Ivy’s direction.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ivy was unable to move, the words tumbled free as if spoken by someone else. “He’s an ancient Celt.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The stranger immediately glanced her way, shock registering across his face as if he had heard her spoken words.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Good Lord, you’re as white as a sheet, Ivy Kathleen.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She barely heard Erin’s words. The Celt moved toward her, a frown marring his handsome features. A tremor slithered down her spine as she lifted her head up to meet his gaze.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Ivy O’Callaghan?” The soft burr of his voice brushed over her face, and she couldn’t determine if it was Irish or Scottish.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her mouth stayed dry, making her unable to acknowledge the man’s question. Nodding slowly, she took a step back. Then the Celt smiled, and Ivy thought she would melt right there on the floor. How could anyone look that gorgeous?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Erin nudged her. “Forgive my friend, Ivy Kathleen, she seems to have lost her voice.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recovering her wits, Ivy replied, “Sorry. I’m done telling stories about my life in the States.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Celt arched a brow. “Not interested in your stories. Sean Casey sent me to inspect your repairs.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You know Sean?” interrupted Erin.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Smiling, the man nodded. “Most of his life. I’m Conn MacRoich.”<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Scottish paranormal romance author, Mary Morgan resides in Northern California, with her own knight in shining armor. However, during her travels to Scotland, England, and Ireland, she left a part of her soul in one of these countries and vows to return.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mary's passion for books started at an early age along with an overactive imagination. She spent far too much time daydreaming and was told quite often to remove her head from the clouds. It wasn't until the closure of Borders Books where Mary worked that she found her true calling--writing romance. Now, the worlds she created in her mind are coming to life within her stories.<br />

Krystal Shannan, also known as Emma Roman, lives in a sprawling ranch style home with her husband, daughter, and a pack of rescue Basset Hounds. She is an advocate for Autism Awareness and shares the experiences and adventures she’s been through with her daughter whenever she can.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Needless to say, life is never boring when you have an elementary-aged special needs child you are homeschooling and half a dozen 4-legged friends roaming the house. They keep her and her husband busy, smiling, and laughing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Krystal writes magick and Emma doesn’t. If you are looking for leisurely-paced sweet romance, her books are probably not for you. However, for those looking for a story filled with adventure, passion, and just enough humor to make you laugh out loud. Welcome home!<br />

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">While Charles' wife, Elizabeth, has no issue with the way he
acquires children, (just as long as she doesn’t have to deal with them),
Theresa Spadoni does care. She has been trying to give her husband a baby for
years, but nothing happens. Then one night with a coworker and Mary Mason has
not just one baby, but two!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Her anger has escalated to murder. It was her idea to set the
pit bull on to Mary. It was also her idea to kill Mary’s newborn son. If she
can’t give her unfaithful husband a child, then she would at least make certain
his child by Mary wouldn’t survive either.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Mary Mason may have lost her job and
reputation, but she has too much pride to allow vengeful women and their
manipulative husbands to destroy her life and steal her new born babies.
Unfortunately, pride alone isn’t going to save her. When Captain Chad Danton
answers a call about a prostitute soliciting at the local library, he discovers
a determined woman in desperate need of medical care. Upon hearing Mary’s
story, he resolves to help her, not realizing her enemies will join those who
wish to destroy his career.</span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">EXCERPT</span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Chad’s
eyes narrowed. “I was in the room when the father of the boy insisted his wife
had accidentally cut off the oxygen. When Mary said she’d get a restraining
order, he assured her he’d had already told the hospital to keep his wife
away.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Sanders
sighed. “Well, they have no record of that request, if he made it. Last night,
the baby’s IV was removed. And there’s no way that can be considered
accidental. Those incubators are not easy to open, and an alarm should have
gone off when it happened.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Chad
shook his head. “That sounds like something a nurse would know how to do.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Sanders grimaced.
“Not if she plans to keep her license.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">“Check
out Nurse Hadley. She seems to have some vested interest in this.” He then told
Sanders everything he knew about Mary Mason and her tormentors.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Sanders
scratched his head when Chad stopped talking. “You might want to let Captain
Wiggens know. When I asked him for police protection on the baby boy and Mary
this morning, he…”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">“He
what?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Sanders
grimaced. “He turned me down and yelled at me for wasting time on this case.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Chad’s
brow rose. “And did you tell him I personally assigned you to the case?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; margin: 0px;">Sanders
nodded. “I did mention that. He assured me you’d be gone in a week and then
he’d be chief of police.” Sanders sighed. “I sure hope he’s wrong about that. I
have to tell you, sir. Most of your force is very happy to have a real cop in
charge. We’d like to keep you for a long time.”</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Excerpt:<br />Copyright ©2017 by Jennifer Lowery</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></b>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Blood. Everywhere.</span></i><br />
<i></i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Macy Gibbs looked down at her shaking hands, stained red, still clutching the bloody knife. Her gaze dropped to the man lying on the floor at her feet. His eyes stared empty into space. Fluid oozed from the wound in his chest where his heart should beat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Her ears began to ring, her vision dimming. They would execute her for this. In this country, she wouldn’t get a trial. Women had very few rights here. An American woman had none. Especially one married to an Azbak man. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Revulsion turned her stomach. Married. What she’d been in was anything but a marriage. <br />The sound of the door handle turning snapped her out of her stupor. One thought ran through her head as she dropped the knife. Run.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Panicked, she spun in a circle, searching the small bedroom for an escape she knew she wouldn’t find. She’d been locked inside this room for weeks. Had there been a way out she would have found it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Her eyes trapped on the door. Only one way out. One choice. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />To keep fighting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Forcing her legs to move she slipped behind the door just as it opened. A tall figure moved stealthily into the darkened room, lit only by a dim lamp in the corner. On auto-pilot, Macy struck, aiming for his jugular. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />He ducked her blow, his hand coming up to capture her wrist. With a forceful tug, he had her arm pinned behind her, her back pressed to the wall and a forearm against her throat. Not enough to hurt her, but it felt like an iron bar across her neck. Afraid to breathe, she looked up into a pair of stunningly beautiful green eyes. The way he stared back at her made her blood race. Direct, lethal. <br />Her vision narrowed. Warmth slid down her leg but she didn’t feel the pain of her injury. Memories of what her bastard husband had tried to do to her filled her head. If she hadn’t fought back…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />“Hey, breathe.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Her attacker’s voice, low and smooth, broke through her thoughts. Macy blinked. Why did he sound so far away when she could feel every hard inch of him?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />The arm on her throat loosened. She drew in a breath that made her head spin. “American,” she whispered, fighting to remain upright. He wasn’t one of Aziz’s men. Where were the guards? Surely, they must have heard her tussle with their leader. Then again, they were fully aware of what went on in this room and had not once intervened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />A hand gripped her chin, warm despite the chill in her bones. Gave her a shake. Her eyes snapped open. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />“Come on, we’re getting out of here.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">NY Times & USA Today bestselling author, Jennifer Lowery grew up reading romance novels in the back of her math book and on the bus to school, and never wanted to be anything but a writer. Her summers were spent sitting at the kitchen table with her sisters spinning tales of romance and intrigue and always with a tall glass of ice tea at their side.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Today, Jennifer is living that dream and she couldn’t be happier to share her passion with her readers. She loves everything there is about romance. Her stories feature alpha heroes who meet their match with strong, independent heroines. She believes that happily ever after is only the beginning of her stories. And the road to that happy ending is paved with action, adventure, and romance. As her characters find out when they face danger, overcome fears, and are forced to look deep within themselves to discover love. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />Jennifer lives in Michigan with her husband and two children. When she isn’t writing she enjoys reading and spending time with her family. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">It was
eight years ago when I took my husband up on his suggestion that he now, no
doubt, regrets.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"> </span><br />

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">I

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The initial draft of my first book was completed three years later. And the reason it took
so long is because I had no idea what the hell I was doing. Thank God for online writing groups and low-cost classes.</span><br />

engaged with my family <i><span style="color: orange;">(which was anytime I wasn’t personally involved in whatever was happening)</span></i>, they would find me in one of my two son’s bedrooms. I didn’t
have a computer of my own, but we made sure <i>the spawn </i>each had one.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"> </span><br />

Morgan Pottinger is counting the days until graduation. Her plans are to leave small town Kentucky and never look back. As she starts her senior year at Persimmon College, she finds herself the object of Nate Stevenson’s affections. Despite her spaz-like tendencies, Nate makes it clear he wants her. Morgan cannot resist the sexy, intelligent guy that keeps her on her toes and ties her up in knots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There’s just one problem. Morgan needs to break up with her hometown boyfriend before pursuing anything with Nate. A series of catastrophes back home continuously interfere with her attempts to end the relationship. At this rate, she’ll be married to the loser by March and Nate will be just another casualty in the disaster that is her life. Lucky for Morgan, Nate’s much smarter than she is.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
“How was your summer?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decide to go with the polite response and say, “Good, thanks.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s not like I can say I spent the summer pretending to like my boyfriend, refusing to touch his man parts, and debating daily if I could order a vibrator online and sneak it past my parents once it landed on the front porch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I turn to see if Nate’s through the doorway and catch him eying my ass. Well, that’s different.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Uh, Morgan?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The, uh, the back of your dress …”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why is he having trouble spitting out words? He’s acting like me, for crissakes. I turn my neck and try to look, but my giant backpack is all I can see.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I take my hand to wipe at the fabric, thinking there must be an insect on it. I hit air, then skin, and then the edge of my underwear. Oh. My. God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Shit!” I whisper-yell, frantically pulling at my dress to get it down over my ass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No wonder my cheeks weren’t sweaty in this humidity. They were getting aired-out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My brain does a mental checklist of which underwear I have on. Red bikini with the word ‘Monday’ written across the butt. They’re cute, but maybe a little immature. And definitely not for display. Kind of like me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I chance a look at Nate and I’m shocked at his expression. Nate’s giving me the most heated stare I’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I wouldn’t give to be on the receiving end of that look for an extended period of time. His girlfriend is so lucky. The bitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I try to smother my laugh at my brain’s catty ability to focus on Nate’s girlfriend instead of the mortification I’m currently experiencing, but the snicker comes out anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The corner of his mouth turns up. He must think I’m laughing about the indecent exposure. Good. Run with it, Morgan. It’s not like I don’t know I’m a walking calamity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Well, I guess I should thank you for saying something. So, thank you.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bow my head and dip a little too low. I look down and can clearly see my cleavage. Which means he can, as well. I straighten quickly and see his eyes on my chest. I’m a damn train wreck today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I should probably run away now. Far, far away, before a giant bird of prey swoops down and rips off my dress. Because that seems to be today’s trajectory. Sooo, yeah, I guess I’ll see ya around, Nate.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I raise my hand and wave, even though he’s five feet from me. I kind of feel like punching myself in the face. Unfortunately, I can’t hit hard enough to knock myself out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nate laughs. “You’re funny, Morgan. I like that.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Oh, let’s not forget awkward.” I’m not trying to be funny. Awkward shit is just part of my daily life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“At least you got the right day of the week.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes, I’m good at calendars.”</div>

Her brother, who insists she address him as, The Prince of Darkness, gave her the nom de plume after warning her that her book’s content may scar her sons for life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She’s a connoisseur of fine humor, hilarious insults, and all things chocolate, preferably dark (like her humor). Oh, and wine. Let’s not forget the wine. Cass also enjoys running. It’s become crucial to her survival, due to her consumption of wine and chocolate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cass’s mission in life is to spread the love and the laughter, goodness knows it’s needed. It’s why she wrote The Persimmon Series.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She and her family now reside in the Midwest, where hardly anyone other than Cass says the words, y’all and holler.</div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">It’s
been a while since I’ve written a personal blog post and I thought I might try
to get back into it again. The trouble I have is coming up with interesting
topics to write about.</span><span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"> </span></div>

might think, “Well, duh! That goes without saying.” And you’d be right. Truly, I
love spending time with the Cowboy and two Spawn. They keep me in stitches and
on my toes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style" , serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Something
about the crash of waves, warm sand and sun, a beach chair and the smell of
Coppertone brings a smile to my face and relaxation to my mood. I grew up
across the street from the surf and after my family moved into town, I spent every
free summer day back at the beach tanning my hide.</span></div>

combined with One and Three, number Four is a damn fine time! On my tenth
Christmas, my parents surprised me with a horse. Although, it wasn’t a
surprise, really. I’d asked for a horse EVERY DAY since I’d turned
five-years-old. Other than my time in college, I’ve always had a horse since.</span><br />

started journaling when I was young, writing my feelings down about a boy I liked
or how awful I thought my mother treated me. The usual young girl thoughts. Those
early days of literary noodling led to a love of writing, which grew into what
I have today. The escape I find in creating stories and characters is the same
as what I find when reading a good book!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Catherine O'Chancey is a young submissive who has found her happily ever after, with a man far better than she’d ever dreamed.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or has she? Is life that easy?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jayden Masterson first opened his playroom to Catherine—a provocative Irish beauty with a penchant for pain—and then his heart to her everyday persona, Erin. For him, life has never been more perfect . . . Or more confusing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He's comfortable as a Dominant, but still finding his way as a lover and equal partner. Jayden is also learning that he can't protect his jewel from everything—nor should he. Some battles she must fight on her own.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The travesties of Erin's past still haunt her, and as the couple move forward in their merging relationship, they must now cope with the physical damage left behind by her abuser.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Catherine and her Master have a lot to learn—about each other, and about themselves. If Jayden and his jewel can overcome the challenges they'll face on the next leg of their journey, their ending just might be . . . Surreal.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Catherine O’Chancey is a reserved, demure, and graceful submissive. All traits she trained hard to enhance when she discovered the world of Dominance and submission in college. In an attempt to start fresh after the unexpected death of her last Dom, Catherine moves to Dallas, TX to escape the shroud of darkness he left behind in her life. She has tried to fight the need that resides deep within her to submit, but finally has to admit she can’t for it is not a choice, but part of who she truly is. After months of mental preparation, she ventures back into the lifestyle by attending a coveted open-night event at Dungeons and Dreams, an exclusive BDSM club.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is it fate or coincidence that Catherine garners the attention of one of the club’s board members who happens to be on the hunt for the perfect sub – a partner who enjoys receiving pain and pleasure as much as he enjoys doling it out?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jayden Masterson is many things: a firm Dom, a shrewd businessman, and a gentleman. What he isn’t, is someone who partakes in relationships outside of contractual ones with his multiple, uncollared, regular submissives. While he likes rough sex, he is not an animal, and can find pleasure only if it is consensual. What his harem is missing is a pain slut; could there be one in his future?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Upon meeting Catherine, Jayden feels an instantaneous spark inside him that has him wanting to know not just her body, but her mind. He wants to unravel her mysteries and discover her secrets. Through pain can they find the pleasure they seek? Can part-time pain lovers find full-time fulfillment when it’s not in their contract?<br />

<br />
Over the past year of being Jayden Masterson’s collared submissive, Catherine O’Chancey has worked through the mental terrors left behind by her old Dom—she thinks. To celebrate their collaring anniversary, Jayden organizes a special day, during which her final limits and fantasies will be realized. Will it prove to be more than she can handle? Can she endure the erotic onslaught her mind and body will experience and survive unscathed?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While Catherine faces dark shadows and pleasurable highs, Jayden finds his own inner strength being tested. He has come to realize that, somewhere along the way, Catherine has taken possession of his heart, mind, and body. Now he faces his biggest challenge ever; he must let go of all his submissives but one: his jewel, Catherine. Can he leave his philandering ways behind? Has he made the ultimate mistake by putting his jewel into the hands of others?<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dorothea Sinclair has left her small home town in Maine and come to Boston to begin a career as a newspaper reporter. But so far her job on the Guardian has proved disappointing. More skivvy than reporter, she’s even been subjected to a humiliating proposition from the chief editor’s son. She needs a break but never expects it might come from a chance meeting with an Irish ruffian.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There’s a great deal of injustice in Boston, and O’Hare, embroiled in his fight for equality on behalf of Boston’s Irish, is well aware of it. When he rescues Dorothea’s hat on the waterfront, he’s surprised to learn she’s a reporter. And when she offers him the opportunity to state his case in the Guardian, what can he do but accept? It’s the perfect chance to put his dreams into his own words—and the only sure way to see her again.<br />

Nothing wrong in that. Dorothea’s own father was a worker, if a skilled one—the blacksmith back home. This man had no blacksmith’s build. Instead he looked light on his feet, square-shouldered and graceful as quicksilver. Brash confidence rolled off him in waves.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As she stood staring across the road in consternation, he held up her hat and grinned before casting a look both ways and jogging over to her side.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He brought a presence with him that backed Dorothea up a step or two. She might credit it to the set of those fine shoulders or the grin that still occupied his face or the swagger he displayed that made the most of his height which, surely, didn’t top six feet.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He reached her, spent an instant examining her closely and presented her hat with a sweeping bow worthy of a practiced thespian.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Lovely miss, I’m thinking this belongs to you.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes. Yes it does, thank you.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dorothea reached for the hat but, like the rascal he undoubtedly was, he kept it from her grasp, pretending to examine it closely. He brushed off a bit of grit from the brim and fingered the now-tattered veil.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“A mite worse for its adventure, but no doubt you can mend it, women having a certain magical talent for such things.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, Dorothea reached for her hat; again he kept it from her only to take a step closer and set it on her head.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“There you go, beautiful lady. You will be sure and hold on to it more closely next time.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dorothea, assaulted by the full force of his masculinity, said nothing though she reached up one hand and clamped the hat to her head. She looked into his face and all the breath fled her lungs.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He wore no hat and had a head full of copper curls well-tossed by the wind. His face screamed Ireland with a broad forehead and slightly-squared jaw all sprinkled with freckles visible even beneath his worker’s tan. His eyes—but no. Dorothea met them once before her gaze skittered away much as the hat had, only to return again on a rush of fascination.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tawny gold as those of a tom cat, his eyes held a world of emotions: amusement first of all, that flaming confidence, an uncanny wisdom and a hint of daring. Dorothea responded to the last first—seldom did she fail to accept a dare.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the trawler White Gull was lost in a storm off the coast of Lobster Cove, Lisbeth O'Shea's husband, Declan, was lost along with it. At least that’s what Lisbeth believes until, a year later, she hears Declan’s voice in the night and sees him haunting the shore near their tiny cottage. Then she wonders… Has grief affected her mind? Or is someone playing a cruel trick?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Town blacksmith Rab Sinclair has loved Lisbeth ever since he arrived in Lobster Cove. Lisbeth has never had eyes for anyone other than the charming, feckless Declan O’Shea, but Rab knows Declan was not faithful to Lisbeth. How can he convince the grieving widow she’s pinned her heart on the wrong man? And when dangerous secrets come to light, how can Rab protect the woman who means more to him than his own life?<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Newly returned home to Lobster Cove from the War Between the States, blacksmith Douglas Grier can’t forget the horrors he’s witnessed or the beautiful young woman he helped break free from her shackles one dark night after her master’s plantation burned. He wishes he had at least asked her name, even though she and her family disappeared into the darkness and Douglas has no expectation of seeing her again.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Josie Freeman can’t remember the last time she felt safe. Even though she and her family are freed, they’re being pursued by slave hunters hired by their former owner. When their ship is damaged on the way to Nova Scotia, Josie is thrown into contact with the one man she never expected…the very man she had wanted to see. But will her past catch up with her before Douglas can free her heart?<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To his fans, Ashe Hunter is the perfect man, the classically trained British actor taking Hollywood and Broadway by storm. To his American girlfriend, Riley Eames, he is a man in love and he'll do anything to keep her safe from the prying eyes of paparazzi suddenly digging into her life.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But to someone from his past, Ashe is her ticket to Hollywood fame and she'll do anything to get it even if it means tearing down the image he's built for himself ever since he left her.<br />

“What did she mean when she said I was so vanilla?” asked Riley.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ashe had known this was coming, that Riley would ask questions. Well, why shouldn't he just answer her truthfully?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It has nothing to do with your hair, petal,” he said. “Unfortunately, Catriona Marks is not known for her subtlety.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What does it mean, then, ‘She's so vanilla’?” Riley asked, her voice mimicking Catriona's words as she pulled her hand away and crossed her arms in front of her chest.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Catriona's tastes are what might be called ‘alternative’,” explained Ashe. “In some circles, she's better known as ‘Mistress Cat’.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Like a Dominatrix? How would you know that?” Riley paused, raising her hand. “No, don't answer that, Ashe. I’m not sure I want to know.”<br />

For a few moments, she didn't speak. He watched her bring her hand to her mouth, her expression distraught as if a vision of Ashe and Catriona together had come to her mind unbidden. Then she turned her face toward the window, watching the snow outside as the car made its way through the streets.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"You used to date her, didn't you?"<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Yes," he replied.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It would have been better if you'd just said she's your ex-girlfriend,” Riley said. “She is, isn’t she? Is she the actress who discovered you?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Yes, she is.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They spent the rest of the ride in silence. Ashe had much to say, but this was not the ideal place to tell Riley the things he wanted her to know about his past and the people who belonged there. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b> <b>A booty call. A stuck elevator. A chance to move on.</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Three years after her ex-boyfriend left her to pursue his Hollywood dream, barista Riley Eames’ life is still on hold, hindered by questions only he can answer. So when he asks to meet her for a booty call while he’s in town, she reluctantly agrees, only to find herself stuck in the hotel elevator with rising British star, Ashe Hunter.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>He's gorgeous, charming, and before the night is over, smitten.</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a celebrity romance may not be enough to get Riley's love life moving again, not when the ex-boyfriend is back in town and with him, the secrets that will change her life forever.<br />

Though Liz majored in Journalism in college, she discovered that she preferred writing fictional stories over proofing news and ad copy. These days, Liz is the author of five full-length novels including Everything She Ever Wanted, Loving Ashe and A Loving Riley.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When she’s not arguing with her muses about their story arcs, she’s usually hanging out with her little prince, stepping on Legos and building train towns. She’s probably also guzzling down coffee and sneaking in the chocolate while learning about the world from other peoples’ writings. And she’s always asking questions. Always.<br />

<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Damn shame, too,” complained one of the customers in the shop. “Not the Artemis that is playing with the lights and stuff. But the Artemis who liked to help people with their problems.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Yeah, I think if someone is behind it, it’s someone pretending to be Artemis, or trying to shift the blame on her,” said another customer. “She may have done some things, but she’d never deliberately set out to get people hurt.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Amy smiled at the person that made the comment. “I’ve been here all day. But it’s more than the traffic lights. Didn’t I hear that the other day the Financial District was shut down because the money showed at zero?” </span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“That is something that Artemis had fun with,” Dark Master commented. “Or had in the past.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I’m sure that whatever has been happening in Quail City has nothing to do with Artemis,” Amy replied. </span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Hope for Artemis’ sake it’s true,” Calypso said. “Williams is ranting and raving in Commissioner James’ office asking for her to be arrested.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Just bet he is, thought Amy. “Is there anything else I can get you?” Amy asked them. She saw that it was almost six and the last bus going towards her apartment would be there any minute. </span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“You in our bed,” Calypso said in her ear. “Your blue hair will look glorious on our pillows.” Then out loud stated, “That’s all for now.” </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Bridget
leaned toward me and nodded in that direction. “He’s been sitting by himself
for a while. A dance with that fine man could take your mind off just about
anything.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Ophelia
winked. “You should give him a try.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“You think?” We laughed until we
about peed our pants. I noticed he was watching us with a grin that spread
across his sexy face. “Oh shit. I think he heard us.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Good. You deserve a little fun after
the week you’ve had,” Bridget insisted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Well, I’ve seen my share of gorgeous
men, but that guy is smok’n hot.” I looked heavenward and giggled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Oh boy, is he ever,” Bridget and
Ophelia said in unison and fanned their faces.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“I’m going to give him my, ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you can buy me a drink’</i> look and see
what he does.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">All of a sudden Bridget rolled her
eyes toward the bar. “Holy moly, he’s coming this way. That worked fast. I
should try that maneuver,” Bridget whispered. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“Me too.” Ophelia got out a pen and
small notepad from her purse and wrote down what I had done and then tucked her
notes into her purse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">Bridget and I stared at her. Her face
turned crimson. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">“We always come up with great ideas
over margaritas, but I can never remember what they are in the morning. From

<strong>Sharon Kleve's Bio:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sharon
Kleve was born and raised in Washington and currently lives on the Olympic
Peninsula with her husband.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sharon
is a multi-published author of contemporary romance. She loves romance. She
loves reading romance, living romance, and especially loves writing about
romance. She gets no greater feeling than watching her characters come alive in
each other's arms. Most of all, she loves giving her characters the happily
ever after they deserve—with a few bumps and bruises along the way.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">One
of her favorite things to do is pick up a new book and sink into the story,
immersing herself in the emotions between the characters. She hopes to inspire
her readers the same way her favorite authors have inspired her.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">When
not writing, she can usually be found either curled up in her recliner with her
cat and a good book, or in the kitchen baking sourdough bread or bagels. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b>In TRULY, MADLY, WHISKEY…</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eight months is a long damn time to have the hots for a woman who keeps a guy at arm’s length. But Crystal Moon is no ordinary woman. She’s a sinfully sexy, sass-mouthed badass, and the subject of Bear Whiskey’s midnight fantasies. She’s also one of his closest friends.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just when Crystal thinks she has her life under control, scorching-hot, possessive, aggressive, and fiercely loyal Bear pushes all her sexual buttons, relentless in his pursuit to make her his.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The more Bear pushes, the hotter their passion burns, unearthing memories for Crystal that are best kept buried. But there’s no stopping the collision of her past and present, catapulting the two lovers down an emotionally charged road that has them questioning all they thought they knew.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They drove to Woody’s Burgers in silence, which was how he knew there was probably more to this than a shitty visit with her mother. He also knew she wasn’t going to tell him what was really going on. At least not yet. He came on strong, but they had a solid friendship that felt more like a relationship and went beyond his desire to finally taste her luscious mouth. He cared about her, and one way or another, he’d figure out a way to get her to talk. He had to, because knowing she was hurting and not being able to fix it made him want to tear someone’s head off.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He parked the truck and reached across the seat, giving her hand a comforting squeeze. “Hey.” He waited until she met his gaze. “Whatever’s going on, you know you can talk to me.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her eyes fell to their hands, and a hint of a smile lifted her lips. “Yeah, I know. Thanks.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Woody’s was a low-key burger joint with brick walls that had been painted white and bright green tables and benches. Overgrown ferns and decorative iron lights hung from metal rods along the ceiling. The floor was a mismatched patchwork of wooden planks. It didn’t look like much, but they had the best burgers and fries in Peaceful Harbor, and tonight Bear had the prettiest girl in the harbor on his arm, too. It was a good night, despite the cloud hanging over Crystal’s head. He’d shelter her from whatever storm came her way.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He slid into the booth beside her.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“There are two benches for a reason,” she pointed out.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Oh, right.” He kicked his feet up on the bench across from them, the tips of his black leather boots visible over the edge of the table.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She laughed.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Your turn.” He tapped her thigh, leaving his hand there as she lifted her feet beside his.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She pushed his hand from her thigh without a word, and he stretched his arm across the back of the bench.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Are you always like this?” She picked up the menu and looked it over.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You’ve known me for a long time. You tell me.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I know how you are with me. I mean with other girls. I’ve never been out with you, like on a date.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He began kneading the tension from her shoulder. “Then maybe it’s time to remedy that.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The waitress interrupted before she could respond, and they ordered burgers and fries, and Crystal ordered a milk shake. Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry mixed, please. She was unique in everything she did, and he loved that about her. Their food came quickly, and they made small talk about getting ready for Tru and Gemma’s wedding.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When he couldn’t stand the edge in her voice any longer, he said, “Tell me about your mom.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She shrugged. “Nothing to tell. We’re not very close.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Why was tonight so rough?” He picked up a fry and dunked it in her shake as she lifted her burger to her mouth.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Um…?” She lowered her burger to the plate. “What are you doing?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Dunking my fry in your shake.” He popped it in his mouth. “Haven’t we done this before?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We’ve known each other for almost a year and we’ve never had fries and shakes? That’s not true and you know it.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You’ve never dunked your fry in my shake,” she clarified.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He brushed his shoulder against hers. “Whose fault is that? I would love to bury my fry in your luscious milk shake.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She laughed. “Not happening.” She took a big bite of her burger, her cheeks puffing out like a chipmunk, clearly trying to avoid talking about that.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He finished his burger and put his arm around her again, dipping another fry in her shake. He held it up for her, and she swatted his hand away, pointing to her full mouth. Her eyes were wide, but smiling, which he totally dug.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Okay, I’ll tell you what. Tell me why tonight was so rough, and I’ll leave your shake alone.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She shook her head, and he dunked another fry. She whimpered, trying to swallow her burger as quickly as she could.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“My girl doesn’t swallow well. Noted.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She laughed/snorted and choked on her burger. He patted her on the back, both of them laughing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I’ll help you with that whole swallowing thing,” he offered, which made her laugh harder, causing her to snort again.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She tried to catch her breath, and he dunked another fry.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Hey!”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Just try one. You’ll like it. I promise.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She eyed the fry as if it were poison.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“One bite.” He dragged the fry along her lower lip. Leaning closer, he said, “You’d better lick that off before I do.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her eyes narrowed, and her tongue swept over her lower lip.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Christ Almighty,” he grumbled.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She laughed. “That’s pretty good. Salty and sweet.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Stick with me, baby. I’ll make sure you get your fill of salty and sweet.”<br />
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: "times";">A quickie-read novellette<br />Return to the uninhabited world on Jungle Island…<br /><br />Life should be sweet, but for Tarzan things have gone sour. No matter how hard he tries, when something goes wrong it’s always his fault—like the challenger who wants the Alpha Female position. And Jane isn’t happy about it.<br /><br />Jane survived a pirate attack and being shipwrecked on a jungle island. Life is tough in the wilds, but how does one survive heartache and homesickness—or the suspicions the mind conjures up. Courage is made, and relationships strengthened, when two people share a sweet Jungle Love.<br /><br /><b>"The pages scorch when these two get together."</b> ~ Amazon Reviewer<br /><b>"A glorious erotic adventure..."</b> ~ Loves to laugh, Amazon Reviewer<br /><b>"On the Sexy scale of Tarzan stories this is a 10."</b> ~ HeadTripping books<br /><br /><i><b>Lord of the Jungle - book one<br />Forever My Jane - book two</b></i></span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The flying threat was not a gift, as the grinning ape suggested. Coral’s arrogant smile of fake gratitude could be interpreted as a danger to his woman.</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times";">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
Protectiveness swelled in him like the creek after the rain. The feeling grew, filled his chest, and spilled over until a river flowed. Tarzan was not attracted to the gorilla offering herself in the nearby tree, and he needed to be sure she knew as well.</span><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></span></div>

</span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He stroked his weakened male part as he thought his problem over. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times";">
</span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times";"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times";">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jane watched his hand with an interested eye.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Perhaps there was another way for Coral to understand. He looked at his mate’s rosy, upturned face. “Turn around.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Yes!” Spinning on her knees, Jane wiggled her rounded ass and threw a huge smile over her shoulder. “Like this?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lust filled-out his mating tool until it jutted stiff and hard. He lowered onto one knee, bringing him directly behind his mate. Gently squeezing the back of Jane’s neck with one hand, he directed her cheek to rest on the sweet-smelling moss floor of the nest. His other hand raised her hips and ass high, to offer herself to him, Lord of the Jungle.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jane deepened the flex of her back and displayed a stunning view. “Like what you see?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“</span><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ooh-ooh</span></i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">.” Tarzan swept his hands over the ripe perfection of her rounded butt. His finger traced the little dots she got from the sun and the scar from when she fell. “Tarzan like.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From the corner of his eye, he saw Coral had stopped chewing leaves and sat still, watching them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Good. Mating in front of the annoying gorilla would, as Jane once said, “Kill two birds and eat them, too.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Slowly, he leaned forward and ran a finger over her glistening pink sex. It clenched in response, and his own sex pulsed with need. Dew gathered along the swollen lips and the air filled with the flowers of her scent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Touch me again,” she whimpered.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Tarzan touch.” Resting his hand where he could thumb the pucker of her ass, he leaned lower, stuck out his tongue and licked the moisture from her mating slit. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Ooh,” she groaned. “Yeah, I need that.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Long strokes, up and down, her wild taste flowed over his chin and reminded him of the beach; a pleasant blend of warmth, salt, and sweet fruit. He licked her hard little nub, the one that made Jane cry out and arch her back, like how she was doing at the moment. Each lightly furred petal thoroughly lapped, bitten and sucked, until she widened the spread of her legs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Come on, Tarzan.” Her whine pulled at him with her hard breaths. He hated the torture he had to put her through. She tilted her hips and thrust back. “I’m ready.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He returned to his kneeling position behind her, but kept his fingers stroking in and out. Her moans grew louder.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To his right, Coral straightened, sitting taller to see over the rim of his sleeping nest. Totally focused on them, she didn’t even notice when </span><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Chee-tah</span></i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> climbed down a branch to land beside her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">No one, not even a friend from his younger days, could ever push Tarzan’s mate from her position as his alpha female. To permit such a thing would be to force Jane away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And he would never allow that to happen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">High in the canopy on their platform of branches and leaves, scraps of moss hung from the twigs in sheets of torn webs and swayed in the breeze. Tarzan notched his mating tool to Jane’s slit. Then, turning to stare directly into Coral’s eyes, rebuking the ape to her place, he plunged into his mate’s welcome heat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Coral’s cricket-brown eyes bugged out. Her lips pulled back. She opened her mouth wide and released a deafening roar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The little white-faced monkey grabbed the banana out of the gorilla’s hand and swung his getaway on the nearest vine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The branch Coral stood on bounced with her outrage, raining loose leaves and debris onto birds that squawked below.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> “What the hell is all that noise?” Jane raised her head at the commotion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Tarzan gripped the back of her neck and urged her cheek to rest on the nest floor once more. Holding the majority of his weight on the bent knee, his other hand reassured Jane with a squeeze of her hip. “</span><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Chee-tah</span></i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> take Coral’s banana.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Well, give her another one. She’s throwing a fit.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the dominant male position Tarzan took his female from behind, thrusting in and out firmly, while he held Coral’s hard glare.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The ape wanted more than his banana, but that fruit was only for Jane.</span></div>

<div align="left" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />
A shipwrecked woman.<br />
The uncharted island.</div>
<div align="left" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Dependent upon her vine-swinging rescuer who acts more ape than musclebound man, she places her survival in his rugged hands and relinquishes her desire to his raw sensuality.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For more seasons than he can remember, Tarzan has lived among the tiny island’s gorilla band. Instinct propels him to save the female he finds half-dead in the surf, but gazing into her eyes, his mating tool dances an ancient tribal beat.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
While the pirates search for their bounty, Tarzan and Jane are in danger. To survive, they’ll have to hang onto each other as they swing for dear life. Their adrenaline-rush of passion among the canopy of the jungle threatens not only a dizzying fall from a great height, but also into love.</div>

<i>The erotic saga of Tarzan and Jane continues in this Quickie-Read novelette!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On a calm morning out at sea, Jane is swept into a nightmare. Pirates sink her yacht and leave her for dead. Washed onto an uncharted island inhabited by a wild man with a hungry sexual curiosity, he claims her as his mate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the treetops where life hinges on a diet of balance and steady nerves, the Lord of the Jungle—a powerful alpha male—rules his home. Through a language of grunts, she understands his loneliness as the sole human living amongst a band of mountain gorillas. On her own she’s helpless, a captive without chains, and soon realizes the safest place on the island is next to his dominant side. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tarzan’s simple life took an unexpected turn when the female landed on his shores. His primitive need to mate is welcomed by her own desires for him. When the dreaded pirates return, so does the danger to his woman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jane will do anything to keep Tarzan alive, but in order to survive, she must trust his jungle instincts. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Always on the hunt for the uncommon things in life, award-winning author Sheri Fredricks thrives on creating romantic adventures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A former engineering secretary, she lives on California’s beautiful central coast. "I wanted to move away from a profession of inflexible right angles and create an unboxed world with no boundaries."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A voracious reader since her early years, Sheri found her brain crowded with stories of her own. "Ultimately," she says, "my husband encouraged me to write them all down."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winner of the Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer’s Choice Award, and a Finalist multiple times for InD’Tale eMagazine’s Reward Of Novel Excellence award (RONE), she has numerous five-star reviews everywhere eBooks are sold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sheri loves to spend time at home and connecting with readers. A computer hutch keeps her focused on creating stories, but the panoramic view of life on a ranch will call her outside to play in the sun.</div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">The most useful of all of
Rana’s powers is the ‘reading of the heart’. If she can safely place her hand
over a person’s heart, she can discover what they truly feel, rather than what
they tell her. This is how she knew her father had killed her mother to prevent
King Schnell from taking her as his wife. This is how she knew which ministers
wished her dead, even when they assured her they would support her. This is how
she determined which men in her police were members of the black mafia. And
most wonderfully, this is how she discovered that Prince Seren truly loved her.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Rana is only sixteen when she becomes queen. Her first challenge is
to quell an internal coup while a massive army storms the gates of her castle.
Her enemies believe her to be a child, but she has powers they’ve never
suspected. She also has great dreams for her people, and she will do whatever is
necessary to make them happen, even marrying a prince she does not want.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Rana had not realized how frustrating and difficult finding truly

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">She sighed heavily.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“You don’t agree?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">She shook her head.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“What did I miss?” he asked. She could hear the disappointment in
his voice. He was already losing faith in himself.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">She led him to the table and sat down beside him. “Seren, I have to
tell you something.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Time slowed.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“You cannot tell him you’re a fairy,” Ditter warned.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“I have to tell him something.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“He hates witches, as well.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">She sighed. “Will you just trust me?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Ditter stared at her a long moment and then returned time to its
normal speed.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Go ahead,” Seren stated, looking as if he stood before a firing
squad.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“God has given me a gift. It’s why I knew which ministers to
remove, which to keep, and which to hire as replacements.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“What is it?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“If I place my hand upon a heart, I can tell what the person feels.
The candidate who just left did everything right, said just what we wanted to
hear, but when I touched his heart, I discovered he wanted the job to make
himself rich like the one before him.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Seren’s eyes narrowed. Then he grabbed her hand and placed it upon
his heart. “What am I feeling right now?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Doubt…You don’t believe I have a gift…You think I’ve changed my
mind and want to break the engagement and return to Stronghold…shock that maybe
I do have a gift…”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">She then pulled her hand away from him and stood up from a shock of
her own. “You still love me!”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">He remained seated so they were nearly the same height. “With all
my heart. And I am now convinced you do have a gift. My only concern is what
will you do with your newfound knowledge? Before you run in fear, I should
remind you that I still need a new minister.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">She continued to stare at him, trying to make sense of this new
information.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">His hands shook and he met her gaze. “I wish I had your gift,
because I need to know what you are thinking right now.” </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">Rana threw her arms about his neck. “I love you. I love the man
you’ve been this week.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">His arms tentatively, then determinedly wrapped around her small
body. “Really?”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Really, really, really!”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0px;">“Then let’s find our ministers so we can get onto more romantic
issues.”</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Liza O’Connor lives in Denville, NJ
with her dog Jess. They hike in fabulous woods every day, rain or shine, sleet
or snow. Having an adventurous nature, she learned to fly small Cessnas in NJ,
hang-glide in New Zealand, kayak in Pennsylvania, ski in New York, scuba dive
with great white sharks in Australia, dig up dinosaur bones in Montana, sky
dive in Indiana, and raft a class four river in Tasmania. She’s an avid
gardener, amateur photographer, and dabbler in watercolors and graphic arts.
Yet through her entire life, her first love has and always will be writing
novels.</span></div>

Kissing the sexy soldier was a dare she couldn’t resist…<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By-the-book event planner Beth Brannigan’s best friend dared her to kiss a cowboy. She should have said no. Instead, she said please…again and again. If her brother finds out she’s dating—okay, kissing—okay, sleeping with—one of his military buddies, he’ll kill her. Assuming he doesn’t kill his friend first.<br />

Former Army Ranger Brick Mitchum isn’t a relationship kind of guy. But then he meets Beth and starts to wonder if maybe it’s time he settled down. She’s mysterious. Unpredictable. Curvy in every way he needs… And hiding something. He’s just got to figure out what.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The best damn fantasy Brick Mitchum ever had hit him in the middle of the Braxton fair, of all places…and he was in no hurry for it to end. The gorgeous, green-eyed woman from two weekends ago miraculously appeared out of nowhere and laid a lip-lock on him that sent all the blood storming straight to his crotch.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She had to be a figment of his imagination. How else could he explain how they were both back in Braxton today and happened to bump into each other at the fair in a town of over forty-thousand people? The odds of them being there at the same exact time was not only impossible, it was improbable. It sure as hell wasn’t a coincidence. He didn’t believe in them.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And yet, here she was.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sweet little thing nibbled and tasted and let out a breathy sigh of pleasure that had him harder than the sledgehammer used in the strongman game down the fairway. Part innocence and part hot-as-hell in a lacey peach sundress, Beth was already halfway to ringing his bell. Doing his best to keep cool and let her run the show, he tried to concentrate on the fact Cord was waiting for him at the auction, but then she went and brushed his bottom lip with her tongue.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the eleven years he was in the Army—the last eight as a Ranger—Brick had planned and carried out enough missions to know that if you wanted something to happen, you made it happen. And, hell yeah, he was making this happen.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a low growl, he shoved his hands in her soft caramel-colored waves and held her head while he took over the kiss. Deep, long passes with his tongue brought her essence to him and a soft whimper to her throat. He loved how she clung to his shoulders, practically climbing his body in a show of need that rivaled his own. Brick knew from their hot weekend they had a killer chemistry, but the way this simple kiss morphed out of control in the space of a heartbeat shocked the hell out of him.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All too soon she drew back, staring up at him with heat smoldering in those incredible eyes he hadn’t been able to get out of his head the past two weeks. He’d tried. Oh, he tried. After all, they’d had a fun, no-strings-attached fling. Nothing more. Hell, they hadn’t even exchanged last names. No need. They’d kept it light. Fun. Hot. He might have broken his one-date rule with her, but he wasn’t sticking around Texas. Once the ranch was in the clear and the veterans’ barracks were completed, he was Vegas bound to work in his former commander’s security firm.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Didn’t mean he couldn’t enjoy the moment at hand, though.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Well, hello to you, too.” He grinned as his hands made themselves at home at her waist. They certainly knew every inch of her delectable body. And itched for a reunion. “I’m not complaining, mind you, but what was that for?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Color increased in her cheeks. “It was a dare.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A dare?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He raised a brow. The woman was full of surprises. “Someone dared you to kiss me?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sort of. I was supposed to kiss the next cowboy to walk through the gate. I’m just grateful it was you.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Well, hell.</i> “You were willing to kiss a stranger?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“No.” She released him completely and stepped back, a flicker of unease clouding her gaze. “I refused until you strode in and I saw an opportunity to make this work to my advantage.”<br />
<br /></div>

Former Army Ranger Stone Mitchum doesn’t have time for sex. Since starting a company with his brother and two buddies, he’s had more important things on his mind. Like transitioning veterans back into society. But when his curvy new tenant falls into his arms—literally—his libido snaps to attention.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jovy Larson has four weeks to prove she’s worthy of taking over the family business. Her challenge? Sell gluten-free, vegan food—in the middle of cattle country, Texas. It’s a tough task, but not half as tough as fighting her attraction to her sexy, surly landlord.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before she knows it, Jovy’s tangling sheets with the hot cowboy, stalked by a jealous cow, and strategizing ways to help Stone’s ranch. But by the time her lease runs out and the test is over, she’s faced with a new challenge…competing against Stone’s sense of duty to win his heart.<br />
