Book Description:



He's hiding out because someone wants him dead...



Cameron Rafferty is keeping secrets. Dangerous secrets that could endanger the lives of everyone around him. His plan was simple...keep a low profile until the would-be-killer was found. And it was working - until an accident changed everything. Before he knows it, he finds himself becoming more involved with the family next door, and wishing for things he shouldn't. Things that will put their lives in jeopardy, too.



Her summer plans didn't include secrets and danger...



Spending summers on Bois Blanc Island was a tradition for author Laura Keane and her young son. Filled with special memories of the husband she'd lost to war, she looked forward to days of reminiscing, playing, and working on her newest novel. She didn't expect this year to be any different - but that was before their sexy neighbor came to her rescue like a knight in shining armor. Will that armor be tarnished when she finds out what he is and why he's living next door?




Available at Amazon and Smashwords




Excerpt:



“Sometimes I wish I could just wiggle my nose or nod my head,” Laura Keane sighed, pulling into the parking spot that would be home to her seven-year-old Jeep Cherokee for most of the summer. “The traffic was brutal – and it’s not even a holiday.”

“Well, I know you know how to nod your head, but I don’t know how that, or wiggling your nose, could have helped,” twelve-year-old Sam said vaguely.

A quick glance his way, and Laura couldn’t hold back a grin. Even before the words left his mouth, he was throwing the passenger door open and scanning the marina for the boat, her references to Jeannie and Samantha already a memory.

Since heading out from Lansing at six that morning, Sam had been anxious for the long drive to be over. Not many boys on the brink of becoming a teenager would look forward to a summer of relative solitude on Bois Blanc Island. But every year he couldn’t wait to arrive, and then he dragged his heels when it was time to head back home for the school year.

Of course, some of his best and happiest moments with Jake had taken place on that little stretch of beach, so that probably explained his enthusiasm. Even though she’d had several videos of their family burned to a DVD, sometimes she was afraid that he would forget the father who had loved him so very much. Maybe Sam was afraid he would, too.

“There it is!” he exclaimed, yanking the back door open. “Mr. Benton has it ready for us.”

Rather than pointing out the fact that she paid Mr. Benton well to not only store the boat, but to have it ready for them when they needed it, Laura opened her door, taking a moment to savor the familiar sights, sounds and smells before she got out.

Gulls soared overhead, screeching as they circled above the beach, on the lookout for the tourists who kept them supplied with pieces of sandwiches and other treats. Waves lapping up on shore, the brisk breeze blowing in across Lake Huron. She couldn’t imagine a more beautiful place on earth to spend a long, relaxing vacation.

“Hey, Mom! C’mon. Help out a little here, huh?” Sam asked impatiently.

Laura quickly exited the jeep and pulled a couple of suitcases from the back, while her son loaded himself down with plastic grocery bags.

“We don’t have to get it all in one trip,” she reminded him.

“No, but the quicker we load the boat, the quicker we can get home,” he said logically.

“Just don’t hurt yourself.”

They hurried down to the dock, depositing the first batch of supplies in the boat before heading back up for the rest of their gear.

“Good morning, Ms. Keane,” Henry Benton called from his lounge chair on the beach.

“Good morning, Mr. Benton. How are you today?”

“Couldn’t be better,” he assured her with a grin. “Need some help there?”

“Thanks but we’ve got it. It feels good to be moving around after that drive.” Henry Benton must be nearing seventy and, though he appeared to be in excellent health, Laura worried about him hauling anything heavier than his fishing pole.

“Couldn’t have picked a better day for it though. Clear as a bell since I got up this morning. Not a cloud in the sky.”

“Can’t argue with you there,” she said with a laugh, adding three of the seven bags of groceries to the boat. “Wish I could say the same thing about the freeway.”

“See a lot of clouds on the road, did you now?” Henry teased.

“Ha-ha.” She heard Sam snicker behind her. “I wish it had been clear, but there were about ten million cars, trucks, SUV’s, semis, and motorhomes. You name it, and they were on the road.”

“That’s true,” Sam laughed. “And they were all out there just to aggravate my mom.”

“That what she thinks?”

“Yup.” Both Henry and Sam had a good laugh over that, as the last of the groceries were removed from the Jeep. Laura locked it up, and they wandered back down to the dock.

“Do you know if anyone is occupying the other chalets yet?” she asked, stopping for a moment to chat with Henry.

“As a matter of fact, Ben Pommeroy was telling me just the other day that he rented all three of them for the whole summer. Looks like you and the boy will have neighbors.”

“I sure hope they’re quieter than that bunch from last year,” Laura muttered, shuddering at the thought of another invasion of college boys with a penchant for loud music and late night partying. It had been a solid month of hell on earth, and one she didn’t want to repeat.

“No worries there. Ben said they’re all adults and they seemed like good, respectful people.”

“Well that’s a relief.”

“He also said they’d liked to have rented your place, too. Said he was going to offer you ten thousand more than he did last year.” Laura shook her head when Sam’s gaze met hers.

“I’m afraid poor Ben is going to be disappointed again. The chalet is not, and never will be, for sale. It was nice seeing you, Henry.” She nodded toward the boat where Sam was drumming his fingers impatiently on the steering wheel. Henry grinned.

“Nice seeing you, too, Ms Keane. Safe trip. You get your satellite turned on?” Laura nodded. “You’ll be wanting to keep an eye on the weather station. They’re calling for a doozy of a storm system to move in around Thursday. You might want to get over here before it hits to stock up on some supplies.”

“If it gets bad, we’ll just make do with whatever we have on hand. If it lasts too long, Harpers will do in a pinch.”

Review - 3 Stars!

I loved the idea of secrets and danger and romance.  It usually turns into a great read that keeps me coming back for more.  The blurb and cover were great at attracting me as well.

Having said that, the characters weren't as deep as I would like.  I am not sure, but I didn't connect much with anyone in the novel.  It was decently written, had a good story, but something was a bit lacking.  It took me a bit to get into the story and I did enjoy the read.  I honestly.... can't say there were anything exactly negative about it except some of the issues the characters faced - or rather, their reactions to these issues, seemed very off to me.  So I wasn't able to connect with a lot of what happened to the main players in the story.

However, the writing was decent, the plot seemed involved, although the climax of the story also felt a bit lacking to me.  I did enjoy it, and I kept reading wanting to find out where it was going and how they were going to get there.  So it was well-done.  3 stars!

Guest Post - Kristy's Chicken Stew

I heard something a long time ago, something that has stayed with me ever since. Write what you know.



Never has that piece of advice hit home more than when I wrote Reluctant Guardian and Enza. Both are set in the distant past, and to make it even more challenging, Guardian is set in South Carolina – a state I’ve never set foot in. Both stories required months of research, and since then, I’ve stuck with ‘what I know.’



And one of the things I know the best is me.



That means every major character in every story I’ve ever written has a part of me in them. Even the heroes. Whether it’s something I that scares me, things like my fear of heights, or my love of REO Speedwagon, a little bit of me winds up in each one of them.



In Laying Low in Paradise, Dr. Nolan Campbell advises Laura on the proper use of crutches, something I learned in crutch training (yes, it’s a real thing). Laura also makes one of my very favorite meals for hero, Cameron Rafferty.



I used to hate chicken stew, something my daughter loves beyond reason. But she likes it made with boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders. I’d make it a couple of times a month, but never enjoyed it – until I bought a new electric pressure cooker. One of the recipes was for something with chicken thighs and since I had some on hand, I decided to make the stew with that instead.



Good decision on my part. Now I love chicken stew – but my daughter still prefers it with the tenders, so I have to make a small batch of the yucky stew for her.



So I thought I’d share the recipe with you today. It can easily be made on the stovetop, so those are the instructions I’ll include. I’m not much for measuring, so these are approximate amounts, what I use every time.



Kristy’s Chicken Stew



8 chicken thighs (with skin)
8 potatoes, peeled (or not) and cubed
6 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 large carton chicken broth
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1 small pinch basil
Oil to barely cover bottom of large pan
Dumplings

Biscuit mix
Salt, to taste
Milk



Brown chicken thighs in oil. Add broth, bay leaf, salt, and basil. Simmer until chicken is tender. Remove chicken, strain broth, wipe out pan, and return broth. Add potatoes and carrots and simmer until almost done. While they’re cooking, carefully remove hot chicken from bone and add back to pan.



Dumplings –use the recipe on the biscuit mix box – or whatever your favorite recipe might be.

Drop heaping spoonsful of dough into boiling stew, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about fifteen minutes, or until done (stick a fork in a dumpling and if it’s dry, it’s done).



Enjoy!

Guest Post, Interview, & Giveaway: Kate Triumph by Shari Arnold

Kate Triumph by Shari Arnold

Publication date: October 16th 2014

Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

Synopsis:

Normal is so overrated. At least that’s what seventeen-year-old Kate Triumph tells herself everyday. But the truth is she lives in constant fear that someone will discover how not normal she really is. With her startling speed and her unusual ability to heal, Kate believes she’s something of a freak.

Then Andrew Shore arrives.

He claims he’s her father, sticks around for a few days and leaves her a plane ticket. “Come to Mercer Island,” he says. “Give me a chance to get to know you.” Soon Kate is floundering in a world of new: new address, new car, new high school and, of course, new father. Not to mention Zack, her intriguing new neighbor, who makes her want to abandon her steadfast rule of never allowing anyone to get too close. But when she discovers someone is trying to kill her, life for Kate gets a bit more complicated. And a lot less normal.

Excerpt:

Husky Stadium is crowded. The University of Washington’s purple flags flap loudly like applause as I stride up the stadium steps. High school students draped in their school colors are swarming the stadium in droves. Their eyes search out familiar faces and occasionally I hear my name called but not once do I acknowledge it. It’s always some other Kate, some other girl’s face that lights with recognition and smiles or waves in response.

I put my earbuds in so I don’t hear them, those other Kates and their friends. I turn the volume to loudest and jog in place.

And then I see her, one of my many ghosts. Her blonde hair is pulled back in a ponytail. She’s smiling at someone I don’t know. Their conversation is animated and fun, whatever they tell each other is so hilarious they throw their heads back or double over with laughter. You can’t fake that kind of happy. She catches me watching her when she turns to grab her backpack off the ground.

It’s not her, I tell myself. It’s never her.

And just like that I’m seven years old again.

“Don’t look down, Kate,” she’d said that day in her yard. “You’ll chicken out if you look down.”

“I’m not scared!” I yelled back. I had no reason to be.

The tree wasn’t that tall, and its branches had always held us before. My mother explained it again and again when I asked why, WHY? and why some more.

Perhaps it was the storm the night before that had weakened the tree. Or perhaps it was simply more evidence that life isn’t fair.

But Alice’s mother needed more explanation than that. She needed to know why her daughter spent three weeks in a coma due to severe head trauma while I — the girl who cushioned her daughter’s fall by hitting the cement first — didn’t even need a check-up.

“It’s just one of those things,” my mother explained first to the doctor and then over and over again to every person who asked. “A freak accident,” she called it.

But all I heard was “freak.” The word got caught up inside my head, bouncing back and forth like a tennis ball, until I thought I might go crazy.

When Alice did wake up she wasn’t the same. She had to learn how to talk, walk and eat again. And during rehabilitation she discovered her only friend had unexpectedly moved away.

“Kate?”

The voice is so close I jump. My eyes focus back on my surroundings and I notice the girl I thought I knew has moved on toward the lockers. I don’t have to look again to see it isn’t Alice. Alice was smaller, darker. And from what I’ve heard she gets around now with a cane.

“Kate?” the voice says again. “Kate Triumph?”

“Yes?” I turn and find a dark-haired girl about my age smiling at me.

“I thought it might be you. I’m such a fan,” she reaches out and touches my arm.

“What do you want?” I say.

This sets her back a bit. Her smile slips in the corners, but she soldiers on. “Seriously, everyone on my team worships you. My coach, Coach Thom over there,” she points toward the stadium at a tall, bald man who, when he notices we’re staring at him, waves a clipboard in the air. “He’d really like to meet you. He’s been talking about you all year. He keeps a chart with all of your winning times up on the wall of our gym so we know what to aim for.”

“I’m sorry,” I interrupt. “Is there something you need?” This isn’t the first time I’ve been approached by someone at a track meet. But I’m not looking to make friends today. No point. Friends are complications. And complications are something I’ve got enough of already.

The girl shifts her feet and forces her smile back in place with an enviable effort. “I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Lyla.” She holds out her hand and I take it reluctantly.

“And this is my friend, Todd.”

Suddenly there’s a guy at her side. I didn’t even notice him. He must have been standing just behind me.

“Hi, Kate,” Todd’s voice is deep. Like he’s swallowed something heavy. His eyes move down my body and get stuck somewhere between my waist and shoulders. I should tell him my eyes haven’t been at the height since I was seven, but I honestly don’t care.

“It’s nice to meet you,” I say, “but I really need to check in with my coach.” I try to move away when Lyla reaches out and grips my arm. Her fingernails dig into my skin.

I glance down at her hand, more than slightly annoyed, but she doesn’t release me.

“I understand, Kate. But can you, please, promise to come say hi to my teammates? It would really mean a lot to them.” Her eyes are pleading, her voice is pleading. I wonder if Lyla ever hears the word, no. I look at Todd to find the answer but he’s moved over to a large group of boys standing near the fence.

“Sure, okay,” I say. But it’s a lie.

Guest Post:  Best Male Characters

Whether I’m reading YA or women’s fiction I have to admit, I love a little romance in my story. And when it comes to the best male characters I’ve read I definitely have a list.



Patch

If you are in need of a rebellious fallen angel than go pick up Becca Fitzpatrick’s Hush, Hush series. The strong, dark, and not-so-silent angel type really works for him.



St. Clair

Oh, boy. St. Clair is probably one of my favorite characters ever! There is something so genuine and real about him that after reading Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins I completely believed he was someone I knew in real life. Or wanted to know.





Robin Hood

I am a huge fan of Robin Hood EVERYTHING. But A.C. Gaughen’s Scarlet series is for reals. There is no better Robin Hood out there. Like, seriously. If I ever discover that the real Robin Hood was anything other than how she wrote him I will be VERY disappointed.



Noah

So, yeah. Michelle Hodkin’s Mara Dyer Trilogy is insane, but in a good way. And her Noah is breathtaking. He is intriguing, intense and mysterious. OH! And also very loyal. Need I say more?



Edward

Yeah, yeah, I know. But I’m talking about the Edward from the book not the movie. The movie Edward wasn’t nearly as good as the book Edward. Sorry, guys. But that’s my opinion. And if I’m being completely honest I will always love Twilight’s Edward the best. Not the Edward from the other three books that followed. Just the first one.



Who are your favorites?

Interview

When did you first know you wanted to write?



I used to write poetry as a child. I was seriously obsessed with Shel Silverstein. And then as I got older the stories I told myself got longer and more complicated. Telling stories is something I’ve always done, whether through photography or writing novels. I’m completely intrigued by people and what they do with their time. And I believe that everyone has a story. I don’t always want to hear it, but I’m intrigued nonetheless.



What are some of your favorite YA novels?



I’ve found that some of my favorites are trilogies. My sister and I always tease how some of the characters we love are like our friends and when you get to continue to hang out with your friends it’s a very good thing. My favorite trilogies I’ve read recently are: Rae Carson’s Girl of Fire and Thorns, Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass and Veronica Rossi’s Under the Never Sky.



Do you ever experience writer’s block?



There are a few things I try when I’ve hit a wall. Showers or walks usually help the ideas flow for me and music is a huge part of my writing. I can’t start writing until I’ve found just the right “feeling” for the story and that ALWAYS comes from a song or a couple different songs. With KATE I found my feeling in the song 23 by Blonde Redhead.



Will there be a KATE TRIUMPH 2?



There will definitely be a second KATE. There is so much more to her story. So very much more.

Review, Guest Post, & Giveaway: Chasing the Sun by Sasha Abernathy

Chasing the Sun

An Earth Relic Novel

Book 1

Sasha Abernathy

Genre: Paranormal Romance


Publisher: Crimson Frost Books
Date of Publication: October 21, 2014

ISBN: TBD
ASIN: TBD

Cover Artist: Suzannah Safi

Hunted by Chaos. Protected by Death. Guided by Fire.



Terran is now the key to a world she never knew existed.

Normal was what Terran did best – house, job, dog, friends – rinse and repeat. She never knew demigods existed, or that you could journey to other realms, manipulate nature with your mind, or that the dead weren’t really gone at all, but instead existed in the Underworld. No, she lived the mundane life of any twenty-seven-year-old Alaskan girl…until she met Aiden, the complicated and gorgeous new local art gallery owner.


As their fiery relationship evolves into something more, Terran finds herself surrounded by a world of nightmares and gods, when the mysterious Aiden proves to be more than a simple man. Soon, Terran finds that she is not so simple herself. As an ancient evil threatens to escape and unleash all Hell, Terran must dive into a magical world she never knew existed to save them all…even if that means giving up her life to do it.

Excerpts

"Aren't these Aiden’s pieces?" Micah had caught up to me and seemed as perplexed as I did.



"Yeah, I guess so.”


“Who would have thought he'd donate his work?" Micah commented and then lost interest, walking away as she saw someone she recognized.


I stayed, staring in shock.


"Don't look so surprised. Your friend Jon's charity is truly for a good cause."


I shouldn't have lingered. By now I should have known to avoid anything having to do with Aiden. Many of the contributing artists were here to help promote their pieces so I should have known. But somehow he always caught me off guard.


"Actually, I'm surprised you have a heart at all." My disdain oozed off my words as I gave him the biggest scowl I could muster.


However ugly I thought his attitude, I couldn't say the same about his appearance. Aiden cleaned up nicely in his all-black tuxedo. His hair had been gelled down, but you could still see the natural wave of it. His tux looked as if it had been custom-made, which made me curious. How many black-tie events did he go to in order to have purchased a custom tux?

But, who cared? With my shoulders back, chest raised, and chin up I turned my head, grabbed my dress on the sides and walked away. Screw him.


I got about three steps away before I heard him.


"You look beautiful," he said to my back. It stopped me, my heart thumping loud in my chest. An immeasurable amount of time had passed since someone besides my friends had told me I was beautiful. I could feel him staring at me, but I didn't move. I only stood there, frozen.


"Terran," His voice was soft with yearning. It was then that I gained enough courage to walk away. I had already made up my mind about him. He was too complicated and I was tired of the ups and downs of his mood. This man would break my spirit, at least what little of it I fought to keep.

Review - 3.5 Stars!

 

While the idea of having gods and demigods interacting in the mundane world isn't unique, I did want to pick this one up.  I wasn't sure exactly what called me to it, but I highly suspect it was the name Aiden.  It is one of my favorite names of all time.  For a man, anyway.  Plus Terran is a pretty high ranking favorite girls name for me as well.  Maybe that was it?  Either way, the synopsis was interesting, but I felt didn't quite do it justice.

The plot was interesting in that it kept me reading throughout the day of my internet hiccups.  I'm not exactly sure how some of Terran's tragedy will end up playing out in the next installment of the series, or quite a few other unanswered questions you are left with by the end of the novel.  That was perfectly done to keep the reader coming back for book two!  What happens to Aiden?  Micah and Jon?  Seth?  Terran herself?  Even strange Marlo?  I did feel the first half of the book moved a tad slowly, and then instead of doling out information as most writers do, Aiden just WHAM explained all in one swoop everything she needed to know for the rest of the book.  I wished it had came out differently.

Now, character wise, I felt it was a bit lacking.  I didn't really connect much with Terran's emotions throughout most of the novel.  Not her grief, her anger, or interest in men.  About the only time I really did feel her emotions got across very well was a scene with Terran and her friend Jon after the fancy party.  That I could feel just reading.  The rest seemed a bit disconnected.  I liked her just fine, I just couldn't connect with her.

Micah was kind of annoying, but in a good way.  Aiden I honestly DID like because of his hot and cold behavior that never quite got explained, although there were excellently well-done hints throughout the novel.  I didn't however feel much tension between Aiden and Terran, and maybe it's because I couldn't really feel her emotions much as I read.  Heck, towards the end when the book's climax was happening, even I was like "Woah, why is she so upset like that?"  I mean, throughout the whole book you never got the feeling of anything resembling emotion for Aiden except slight attraction and irritation.

As I was reading an ARC and there were some corrections in it, I won't comment on any grammar errors or anything.  There weren't many anyway, and not sure what the finished product will look like.  However, the writing was very well done.  The dialog was decently done - even if I couldn't connect with most character's emotions.  There was a few times where I felt Terran's reactions were off by her dialog, but it wasn't like "No one talks like that" bad.  It was just that disconnect I felt.

Overall, definitely want to check out book two.  3.5 stars!

Top 5 Reasons to Visit Alaska by Sasha Abernathy

I'm excited to introduce you to a part of Terran's world. I spent a few years in Alaska in my late teens/early twenties and I miss it every day. Alaska is one of the most incredible places I have ever lived. If you love being surrounded by nature, a visit to Alaska is a definite 'Bucket List' item. Here are my top 5 reasons to visit Alaska!

1. The Alaska Bald Eagle Festival

Celebrate the largest gathering of bald eagles in the world! In Haines, Alaska, where over 3,000 bald eagles gather in the early fall and winter, the American Bald Eagle Foundation hosts its annual Alaska Bald Eagle Festival. When exploring Alaska, this festival is a must.

2. The Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights)

According to www.Alaska.org, the best times to see these magical dancing sky's is from September to April, anytime between 12am and 4am. These solar particles that are blown into the earth's magnetic field and give off colors ranging from greenish-yellow all the way to blood red. Those indigenous to Alaska believed that the lights had mystical powers. This is perfect for Chasing the Sun.

3. The Moose

My favorite animal, the moose are not only found along trails and in the mountains, but also on your own front porch. These handsome animals may seem sweet and friendly, but they are not to be taunted as they have been known to charge both people and vehicles when spooked. But still, isn't this guy so cute!??

4. Anchorage, AK

Holding about 44% of the state’s population according to the 2010 census, Anchorage is located in south-central Alaska and has excellent access to several glaciers nearby. Travel down the Seward highway with the mountains to one side and the ocean to the other. From spectacular farmers markets, to an indoor water park, Anchorage is wonderful little city to live in and visit.

 5. Mt. McKinley Flightseeing

Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in North America, has its highest point around 20,237 feet (6,168 meters) above sea level. This stunning mountain is also the third most prominent mountain in the world. Fly above the unexplored backcountry of Denali National Park, while getting a first class view of the majestic Mt. McKinley.

Thanks for taking a peek into Terran's home state! Can you blame her for believe that Alaska is one of the best places in the world?
