A novella and a short story, both mine, will be rolled into the anthology Mysteries & Magick. Magic, the Fates, flawed heroines, and sexy heroes await. Coming finally in June 2010.
Pierce My Heart blurb from Mysteries & Magick anthology. When Jessie Arrows walked away from her husband’s grave, she left her heart behind as well. Her research for an AIDS cure has become her obsession. Between sleep and work, there’s no room for life, let alone time for her best friend and co-worker, Scott. That’s a shame—he’s been in love with her since they were teenagers, though too polite to make a move on his grieving friend.
Sissy, better known as Lachesis, one of the aspects of Fate, has just the cure for Jessie’s particular “disease.” And it involves the attentions of not one, but two sexy men, a healthy dose of jealousy, and an attempt to destroy Jessie’s work. It’ll only take a Tarot reading to launch Sissy’s scheme.
One of the men in Fate’s hand, though, has his own not-so-pure intentions. For Jessie, tasting the carnal temptations offered her may too much for her heart to withstand. Finding out she might lose Scott to someone else could be the final blow. Jessie’s about to learn that there are some things one cannot just walk away from.
Living’s a lot harder than dying. Sometimes, though, you have to risk it all and pray Fate’s watching your back.
Poisoned Magic blurb from Mysteries & Magick anthology Samantha Xia doesn’t consider herself a witch. Witches belong to covens, worship gods with Celtic names, and own Books of Shadows. Sure, she dabbles in a little gray magic here and there, particularly when it comes to trying to attract the attentions of one of her customers, the enigmatic yet charming John DuBois. And yes, she does happen to know his social security number, how he enjoys taking his coffee, his office décor, and other interesting details. That’s not considered stalking, is it?
Poppet magic, binding spells, sleeping pills—what does it matter as long as John becomes hers?
John DuBois has his own secrets as well. His interest in Samantha isn’t exactly innocent. Seduction of naïve women is just one of the games he likes to play. No matter the cost, John’s used to getting what he wants. Samantha shares the same sentiments.
Lydia, Samantha’s boss, and a true witch, tries to warn her. Samantha refuses to listen. On Midsummer night, Sam’ll pay the ultimate price for dabbling in the dark arts.
As for John? He’s met his match.
And, in the plus-sized novel category, watch for The Genesis Clock, releasing in March 2010.
The Genesis Clock blurb Tick tock. Tick tock. Time marches ever forward, unmindful of the humanity it condemns to death, looking only to the unattainable future. What if someone had the power to not only stop time, but reverse it?
Those who built the legendary Biblical Tower of Babel found a way. But the hand of God crushed the tower before the Genesis Clock’s power could be harnessed. Its pieces were scattered across the world, guarded by creatures and societies long since forgotten or shrouded in myths.
Evie Wright’s father has spent his life searching for the clock’s parts. His quest halts with his suspicious death. It’s left to Evie to determine what is fact or fiction, who is friend or foe, and if his quest is worth her life. She can’t lose her soul—that she already bartered away when she assumed the role of priestess to the sex-starved Star Goddess. But if she’s not careful, she could lose her heart to the very man sent to kill her…
Beware. Sentinels, leviathan, booby-traps, skeletons, and blood-and-sex rites await. |
