She smiled and looked around at the glen. She had attempted to make other places her home before she found this one, but none had worked out. She felt a soft pang in her heart when she thought of the island she had found before. She had loved it there, but her past had caught up with her all too soon.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now, Elin was nestled deep in the Scottish Highlands, far from anyone. It was a full day’s walk to the nearest village and castle, and she kept far from it. Everything she needed was around her. She’d made sure of that.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She looked down at the bow in her hand and smiled ruefully. The first time she had tried to fire the weapon, it had been disastrous. Though she kept at it until she became proficient. It had been over a year since she’d used magic, and only then because she hadn’t been able to fix the roof of the cottage herself.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin turned to look at her home. When she came across the abandoned cottage, she had been desperate for shelter from a brutal winter storm. Once the weather cleared, she finally got a good look at the structure and found that it was in decent shape, other than the roof. She’d tried to repair it herself, but she lacked the basic skills and the knowledge. After a month of travel, she was exhausted. She wanted a place to rest and needed somewhere to relax. The cottage had only been meant for a brief respite during the winter, so she’d decided to use the spell to mend the roof.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The cottage had proven a good choice. The glen it was situated in offered the solace and isolation she yearned for. She had been content here. Happier than she had been in some time. Elin’s mood dampened as she thought of her island. So much of her life had been spent hiding from the Coven. The band of witches had wanted to annihilate anyone who stood in their way—and they’d nearly done just that. Elin had thought she could set aside her past as a witch and lead a normal life. She’d thought she could pretend that she didn’t have magic and get involved in a community. She had been wrong.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So very, very wrong.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She gripped her bow and adjusted the quiver of arrows on her back. Her gaze slid to the trees around her. She thought of Asrail. The once-queen of the Gira had been her closest friend. Elin didn’t know what had become of the tree nymphs since the battle with the Coven. The Gira mostly kept to themselves. They looked like trees, their skin and hair just like bark, so they disguised themselves in forests where they could lure others with whispers.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Gira were still out there, but Elin hadn’t seen or heard any since the battle that had destroyed the Coven. During that battle, Elin had joined a band of Witch Hunters and the legendary Varroki warriors to defeat the Coven. That’s where she’d learned that there were more than tree nymphs out there. There were snow and water nymphs, as well.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The cry of a falcon drew her attention skyward. Elin watched the bird through the branches of the tree. She was free now—well, as free as she could be. She needed to remind herself of that often. She wasn’t exactly hiding anymore, but she hadn’t made herself known either. Not a bad compromise.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She had thought that not using her magic would be all she needed to start fresh with a new life. She’d learned the foolishness of that quickly enough. The Coven’s sweep across Britain had left a lasting mark on everyone and everything. Those without magic were wary of any newcomers. They were superstitious, bigoted. Disdainful of anything they didn’t understand—as well as suspicious of anyone new.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Still, Elin had slowly made friends on the beautiful island. Up until a little girl had become ill. Many used herbs to help the sick, but she had been the newest member of the community. So, when the child recovered fully after Elin’s help, they’d immediately begun calling her a witch.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Which, she was.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin had tried to ignore it, but the locals became increasingly hostile. In the end, she’d snuck away during the night, thus beginning the six-month journey, moving around until she’d stumbled upon her cottage. She liked it there. A lot. She didn’t want to leave, but she knew it was only a matter of time before she would have no other choice. Until then, however, she would enjoy her home.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin walked to the river and knelt beside it. She put a hand in the cold water that ran off the nearby mountains. The fish were plentiful, and she had become adept at catching them. Between the fish and her use of the bow, she didn’t lack for meat. When the temperatures began to warm, and the snow started to melt, she discovered the array of greens and berries, as well. There was, in fact, no need for her to go to the village. Although she had gone once.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">They’d thought she was a traveler, so no one paid her any heed when she bought what she needed and returned to the cottage. Other than that one visit to the village, she hadn’t encountered anyone. That wasn’t to say she hadn’t heard the voices of those nearby. Fortunately, though, no one ventured her way.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin drank deeply from the river before flicking water from her hand. Then she got to her feet and turned to retrace her steps to the cottage. The nicker of a horse froze her in her tracks. Her head whipped around to the ridge above, where a lone man sat atop a steed.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She remained hidden behind a tree. The figure was just a dark outline, too far away for her to see where he looked, but she wasn’t going to take any chances. Her heart thudded in her chest as she silently prayed he would move away. Seconds passed as she waited for him to decide. The horse’s head bobbed up and down, seeming almost as impatient as she for the man to ride away. Then, the animal began to walk down to the glen.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Nay,” Elin whispered.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She glanced at her cottage. Smoke curled in a thin, gray ribbon from the chimney. She would never make it inside without being seen by the rider, who was now headed straight for her home. No one had bothered her in months. Why was he here? What did this man want? Maybe if she remained hidden, he would leave, thinking he’d missed the occupant.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Her gaze left him long enough to sweep the area to see if there were more men, but it seemed to be only him. She slid her gaze back to him. He rode past her, allowing her a glimpse. His light brown hair was loose about his shoulders, with a strip of leather holding back the top half from his face. His tartan was dark green, navy blue, black, red, and white, and the sword strapped across his back wasn’t there for show. She caught a glimpse of his boots. Worn but well made, proving he wasn’t some peasant who held onto his family’s weapon.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He grasped the reins loosely but confidently. The horse was well cared for and was, by all appearances, a pricey steed. A person could tell a lot from how someone cared for their animals. Her gaze lifted to the man’s face. She managed to get a brief peek of his profile and saw that his gaze swept the area but returned again and again to the cottage.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin knew the Mackenzie clan controlled this land. Since the cottage had been abandoned, she had hoped that no one would mind if she used it for a bit. The problem was, she hadn’t moved on as she’d told herself she would—as she should have two months ago. The area was beautiful, the game plentiful, and it was isolated. It had everything she needed. Why couldn’t people just leave her alone?</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The man pulled gently on the reins to halt the animal as they reached the cottage. He didn’t ride up to the door. Instead, he stopped with room enough to give him a good view of the front and sides.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Hello?” he called in a deep voice.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin’s fingers dug into the bark of the tree. She almost wished she was a Gira so she could disappear against the bark and keep the man from finding her. No one would. But she wasn’t a tree nymph. She was a witch. Her kind had been hunted for generations, and it wouldn’t stop because people were afraid of anything they didn’t understand. They never stopped to consider if she was doing good with her magic or not. The simple fact that she had it was enough to condemn her.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The man swung his muscular leg over the horse and dismounted quietly. He gave the animal a pat on the side of the neck as he studied the cottage. The horse didn’t budge from its spot.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Anyone home?” he asked louder.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin glanced around her. She could make a run for it, but he would likely hear. The only option she had was to remain hidden behind the tree and hope the man left quickly. All she needed was enough time to gather her meager belongings and head out. The thought made her heartsick, but what else could she do?</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“I mean no harm.”</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She could hear his brogue now. Elin slipped slowly around the tree to hide herself better. If he turned around, she didn’t want him to catch sight of her. She briefly thought of using a spell to conceal herself, but she had sworn off any and all magic. How could she live a normal life if she kept falling back to using her abilities anytime things became difficult? She squeezed her eyes closed and pressed her forehead against the bark.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She had gotten lax. Too many months without anyone coming her way had given her the illusion that she could live her life unbothered. She was beginning to think there wasn’t a place for her anywhere.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And though she hated to admit it, she understood why the Coven had fought for power. If they had won, no witch would ever be hunted again. Her life would’ve been much different if that had happened. She could’ve lived anywhere, done anything.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now, she yearned for a quiet life all to herself.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One she wouldn’t get. She swallowed and peeked around the tree to see what her visitor was doing, but she didn’t see him. All she saw was his horse, munching lazily on some grass. Worry shot through her. She hastily scanned the cottage. The door was closed. Wouldn’t he have left it open had he entered? Maybe he went around the back? Off to the side? What about the other?</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But everywhere she looked, she came up empty.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“I hope you’re no’ hiding from me, lass.”</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The voice behind her startled Elin. Her heart jumped into her throat. She spun around, her foot slipping between two roots as her ankle twisted in her rush to get away. She felt herself falling. Her gaze locked with blue eyes, and her brain froze. She waited to feel her back slam into the earth. Instead, a strong arm caught her and held her steady.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“You were hiding,” he said with a slight frown.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin jerked out of his arms and backed away from him. His sword was still sheathed, but she had felt the strength in him. He could draw it and have the blade at her throat in seconds. Did she use her bow? No, he could knock it away easily enough. That meant she had to resort to magic. No. No, she couldn’t. She had promised herself that she was finished with it.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He held up his hands before him. “Easy, lass.” He spoke as if he were talking to someone with an addled mind.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She ignored him and went through her options. She could run. She knew the area. But how far would she get before he caught up with her on his horse? Too quickly for it to make a difference. She needed him gone so she could sneak away. Again. Was that her life now? Slinking away before they could come for her as they had her mother?</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“I’m no’ going to harm you,” he said slowly, calmly.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Elin almost laughed. She wasn’t going to fall for that ploy. He might only be one man, but he could still catch her.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Unless I use magic.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">She clenched her teeth as the idea resurfaced. Come what may, she would no longer use her knowledge of herbs to help anyone but herself. And she certainly wouldn’t do magic.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Her mother had sacrificed herself to save Elin and her sister. Avis was dead now, having joined the Coven. Elin was on her own. As she had always been. As she always would be.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The man’s blue eyes were penetrating and entirely too intelligent. It was as if they had a light all their own. He watched her, never taking his gaze from her face. Instinctively, her magic rose, telling her that he wouldn’t harm her.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It was a gift her mother had told her would protect her. It had saved Elin’s life on many occasions. But that didn’t mean she would set aside the fear that clung to her like a spider’s web.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“I’m Rob.

She is never far from her faithful 80 pound dog, Sisko, or her cats. She can often be found at the movies or bookstore. Or buying makeup. And shoes.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA8Kr6tQ9kgMQuB2AU6be3FXF2HJvkLktoA6gi67d-xSNgp0QJFVYoRJveCi9AZrBUqV2VBtT3NKH38y2W-3jzWzeT-DnOduIK8ley0zSuOr9bnGEkUF-88eEGpYU8Y9Ctw0AGCYoyMTJLeO911GR1uEkDLM56WXxkjbjbfwrcu8nluOeKyFz91-fh/s272/ASL.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="70" data-original-width="272" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA8Kr6tQ9kgMQuB2AU6be3FXF2HJvkLktoA6gi67d-xSNgp0QJFVYoRJveCi9AZrBUqV2VBtT3NKH38y2W-3jzWzeT-DnOduIK8ley0zSuOr9bnGEkUF-88eEGpYU8Y9Ctw0AGCYoyMTJLeO911GR1uEkDLM56WXxkjbjbfwrcu8nluOeKyFz91-fh/s1600/ASL.png" width="272" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/donnagrant1/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="100" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkO77P3LzFvNMk_q_uCckrsWKetW2n4YKJ7qRfps5TLIMD3sHZaVWiOhCcmX080BXW8ssyRKHu_GRcCpGCyroHzN6nqyDnTIUfnbwcwIqE9V09hi8tQ-KlTM0N3k9gcFHA4IJ47OGahFypxWO1oXkpVfj14KDqgRcFWpxy7z75tXzMtcQeieqLzaQ3/s1600/Pinterest%20100x100.png" width="100" /></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Donna-Grant/27841130699" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="100" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHuzPy6TmexFbVAh4t_72-kqHpySdbpx_-XHdB5DIuXTAwZJP4CW1aIox0iXOeE2EcwRLoeSXtgeOK3ERQMnZ5nBWYKHPI8OjExp-e5Wp8WRqAgGMmLjEeLmGthW4KEVtzl65pQxqJJoYxYOzd6FzetdUXzjAlnA1LiHr1RsuD3cVl-FC_PgRd1CGH/s1600/Facebook%20100x100.png" width="100" /></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dgauthor/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="100" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWm0u7wzngQZSousR13lYwMbzQZJ8f3GOSyt-GCvaOnjozQDq1dKSnKVDcJwZyFR5SfrbC5O08B5YZ8nSsO3kl_NMSYQ9WJFa8X7Dkj6qo38p3bvUAAKqruscfvPvS3-MmpzyLREkuu0e-PIWc1jFhwX3S5oeiRK_hjsypMba5c7f1j20pjuzQ9dKO/s1600/Instagram%20100x100.png" width="100" /></a><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="100" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNdDtpGf7sjyPMNGr9oXatFOg3h4xjvlmo71NEFh_TG5o6w5AHgVvLVMYuw_H0ldI7kYLiD0dbC4REwHofO3D2EM10o4pf8q26Ll_kGViYfJgaXXPaAPDELCzaD-BveeJ5AQzM3Gcy4e02GPUmLFXzzUv4l-7p_C83ntVbUKsSQ00NnVjuZQp6Ulou/s1600/Amazon%20100x100.png" width="100" /><a href="https://donnagrant.com/Contact/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="100" data-original-width="100" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMkfgn0UJOhfkfHfeNiWbmxO1PJYiyGDPV7hmH7TNJEwhrBBOl7cQCoxYwhEssOLxvRDFwcj5HFb7C9iACIC4VHgE30PXS3FqyOoP1G9O-SY_wMRlGHXDhn3Ziy5989hd65KQlf5lTxO2HMHkhAPVmUuTmVc1i3nDDpJSt-CqlS07HeR9I0yqz-wqt/s1600/Email%20100x100.png" width="100" /></a></div><br /><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div><br /></div>BookwormBridgettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17478005759238730034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2537777552539831691.post-40020036254820343412022-11-02T17:20:00.005-04:002022-11-02T18:28:38.736-04:00Happy Native American Heritage Month!

Among them is Jacquie Red Feather, newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind. Dene Oxendene, pulling his life together after his uncle’s death and working at the powwow to honor his memory. Fourteen-year-old Orvil, coming to perform traditional dance for the very first time. Together, this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American—grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion and sacrifice and heroism. Hailed as an instant classic, There There is at once poignant and unflinching, utterly contemporary and truly unforgettable.</span></span></span></p><div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;

In her absence, the landscape had been altered beyond recognition, her tribal government swayed by corporate interests, and her community burdened by a surge in violence and addiction. Three years later, when Lissa learned that a young white oil worker, Kristopher “KC” Clarke, had disappeared from his reservation worksite, she became particularly concerned. No one knew where Clarke had gone, and few people were actively looking for him.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Yellow Bird</span> traces Lissa’s steps as she obsessively hunts for clues to Clarke’s disappearance. She navigates two worlds—that of her own tribe, changed by its newfound wealth, and that of the non-Native oilmen, down on their luck, who have come to find work on the heels of the economic recession. Her pursuit of Clarke is also a pursuit of redemption, as Lissa atones for her own crimes and reckons with generations of trauma.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;

The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States</span>, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.”</span></p><div style="font-size: large; font-weight: inherit; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdsSlqlyMxhBh3d4bf8fjsRS_qe7HbFnZL69dS3i4wMiaDHYIhNB9jAE4SH0xQcl7g47TOamAgjLlaM_a2dxODTztGHbMwnkfPaz-JBjqvInfkx_lyi8XXkfePqpct2SzNAKm-VQTDC8Z2Js-acdOQGgyPMRyPUk9oHbvKGvzK6jO3JBsJjX1Sp7KM/s930/feather_line_divider_by_mikoman909_dbolpb8-fullview.png" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="148" data-original-width="930" height="64" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdsSlqlyMxhBh3d4bf8fjsRS_qe7HbFnZL69dS3i4wMiaDHYIhNB9jAE4SH0xQcl7g47TOamAgjLlaM_a2dxODTztGHbMwnkfPaz-JBjqvInfkx_lyi8XXkfePqpct2SzNAKm-VQTDC8Z2Js-acdOQGgyPMRyPUk9oHbvKGvzK6jO3JBsJjX1Sp7KM/w400-h64/feather_line_divider_by_mikoman909_dbolpb8-fullview.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="font-size: large; font-weight: inherit; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: Raleway; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 1.8em; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3Wp4pOl" target="_blank"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3Wp4pOl" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPumEcs9qIWfj7Y9GAIe2ZqSqGagDaYGTqDC9MMLgv5ZghRkuntW2t68advDrNhhuW8zGJVDVr_SYlAodQWIPj-gYwthoNf6OlwAnzIwPbw6kbeihvrXHr_zijWZNMKxAo8bX9ZP-ddxmPbEuwaEBhlbcxG427iT5DMjKdkAH8JHn_rLPSjKlKkH5a/s500/Canyon%20Dreams.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPumEcs9qIWfj7Y9GAIe2ZqSqGagDaYGTqDC9MMLgv5ZghRkuntW2t68advDrNhhuW8zGJVDVr_SYlAodQWIPj-gYwthoNf6OlwAnzIwPbw6kbeihvrXHr_zijWZNMKxAo8bX9ZP-ddxmPbEuwaEBhlbcxG427iT5DMjKdkAH8JHn_rLPSjKlKkH5a/s320/Canyon%20Dreams.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>Canyon Dreams: A Basketball Season on the Navajo Nation</span></strong></span><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></strong><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">b<span style="color: #313131;">y Michael Powell</span></strong></span></h2><h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The moving story of a Navajo high school basketball team, its members struggling with the everyday challenges of high school, adolescence, and family, and the great and unique obstacles facing Native Americans living on reservations.</span></strong></h3><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #414141; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Deep in the heart of northern Arizona, in a small and isolated patch of the vast 17.5-million-acre Navajo reservation, sits Chinle High School.

Frank spent four years visiting reservations in the Southwest, documenting time-honored techniques and recipes. With the help of culinary advisor and Navajo Nation tribesman Walter Whitewater, a chef in Santa Fe, Frank has adapted the traditional recipes to modern palates and kitchens. Inside you’ll find such dishes as Stuffed Tempura Chiles with Fiery Bean Sauce, Zuni Sunflower Cakes, and Prickly Pear Ice. With its wealth of information, this book makes it easy to prepare and celebrate authentic Native American cooking. </span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span><span><span style="color: #313131; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIvSL6QQFEvYbbpOHJij2Hq1K5MRfc2BFDEPpP41DwmKkojI49eBYzuZbH_Gc6WpH4gRZsMhAliOMMMFtqB8fFatuWlKuRMMa2TNG4jGHfMi5uCDEmAiUfLZE42NAk6a-iB9QBg_f0Jc0NA0HdIkS1ClpPZ_uTpUyEmRqNVP6idb9FArWnIxM7Bbg/s3600/IMG_4447.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3600" data-original-width="2700" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIvSL6QQFEvYbbpOHJij2Hq1K5MRfc2BFDEPpP41DwmKkojI49eBYzuZbH_Gc6WpH4gRZsMhAliOMMMFtqB8fFatuWlKuRMMa2TNG4jGHfMi5uCDEmAiUfLZE42NAk6a-iB9QBg_f0Jc0NA0HdIkS1ClpPZ_uTpUyEmRqNVP6idb9FArWnIxM7Bbg/w480-h640/IMG_4447.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #313131; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div></span></div></div></span></span></span></div></div>BookwormBridgettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17478005759238730034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2537777552539831691.post-38968448318237660992020-02-19T12:28:00.000-05:002020-02-19T12:29:00.578-05:00Ch-Ch-Ch-CH-Changes! <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">First off, let me tell you that this book was not like any I've read recently.. I loved Aria Naveed's snark and witty comebacks for everything. When she called him a furball, I spit my drink all over my steering wheel! This book was so enticing from beginning to end and then the ending just leaves you wanting so much more! Being a pyrokinetic sounds both awesome and tiring, but in her line of work, I'm impressed! I didn't trust that one guy (remaining nameless for the sake of spoilers) from the get go! But I really REALLY loved the scene in the gym where things started heating up! I liked that this book wasn't innocent entirely, but it was clean enough for me to be okay listening to it with my 12yr old niece in the car. After read... I mean... listening to book one, I can't wait to get my hands on book two! I adore Nicole Poole's ability to have such a range of voices that all are convincing for the area as well as the genders and characteristics described! I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a mostly clean paranormal read!<br /><br />5 shields! </span></div>

Surviving the Civil War as a child, her family, in a desperate, but ultimately<br />
unsuccessful bid to save the property of both her father and her uncle,<br />

she and Eugene were amiable. As information about her husband comes to light<br />
after his death in the Gold King Mine disaster that took so many lives in<br />
Wildcat Ridge, she is left with her husband’s hotel and postmaster position to<br />
fill—and a lot of questions.</span></div>

Cauley is branded a failure after refusing to be part of his father’s Salt Lake<br />
City brick-making business and then losing his stationary and book store<br />
business. To bury him far away, his brother and conniving sister-on-law use<br />
their political influence with the territorial Congressional representative to<br />
award him the postmaster position in Wildcat Ridge. He arrives in town to take<br />
over the position starting the first of September only to discover the<br />
postmistress, Diantha, knows nothing about the change, and is not relieved she<br />
no longer is obligated to fill this position originally awarded to her deceased<br />
husband. Finding himself surrounded by those loyal to the soft-spoken, Southern<br />
lady, is he destined to also be a failure in Wildcat Ridge?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

told with winter coming on there is only room for one, Buck insists on leaving<br />

the government is looking for someone who is willing to move to such a remote<br />
location to fill it. Since it is a small office without mail delivery every day<br />
with only a minimal monthly salary, it means you would need to live frugally on<br />
the income provided. I…” Louis glanced across the table at his wife. “We<br />

fought down the surge of excitement welling up within him. This position held<br />
great possibilities. It would bring in a steady source of income—money over<br />
which he had complete control—for a job that would leave him enough freedom to<br />
pursue his own desired career. He could find a small retail space and once<br />
again open his shop. He could use the leftover inventory he had crated up and<br />
stacked in both his room and a back wall of a storeroom at the brickyard. If<br />
the post office building was big enough, he could sell his inventory there.<br />
Most importantly, he would have time to finish his novel he had almost<br />
completed before he had been forced out of his shop and into a job working for<br />
his brother. No, he would do that before he left.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mastermind behind him being offered a position far away from Salt Lake<br />
City—completely disassociated from the business she wanted to eventually go to<br />
her son, Louis Junior, rather than to Hank. For once, he felt grateful he had<br />
not indulged in his usual hair-trigger tendency to act—often over-react—to a<br />
situation. It would never do to let Della know he welcomed the prospect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Britney Mills was born in Utah but<br />
parts of her heart lie in Boston, Washington D.C. and Germany. Her love of<br />
writing began with the third grade book her teacher assigned her to write and<br />
she spent hours hidden behind her mother's couch writing pages and pages about<br />
knights and castles. Now she writes about romance. Go figure.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
When she's not mothering her 4 small children, writing or reading, she's<br />
probably out playing a sport, going on a hike, or binge watching a murder mystery<br />
series. The way to her heart is through homemade chocolate chip cookies and<br />
five minutes peace.</span></div>

Jackson Walker hasn't had the best family life. Growing up in the foster system<br />

Hailey Montgomery threw herself into real estate soon after breaking up with<br />
her boyfriend nearly five years ago. She’s been working to build a name for<br />
herself and when the chance to make partner at her firm becomes available, she<br />
jumps at the chance. But the only way to achieve that distinction is to find a<br />
commercial property for the guy she’s nicknamed ‘Golden Boy’ from all the<br />
stories her father told about him. </span></div>

question. Can they work through what’s happened in their individual pasts to<br />
create a relationship that will last?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Dark times are upon the land of<br />
Nereth. Centuries have passed since the rightful heir to the throne was<br />
banished. The people are losing hope in ancient legend, which foretells of one<br />
who will rise up, overthrow the evil king and queen, and restore peace. Like<br />
all others in Nereth, Edlyn has suffered greatly. Orphaned as a child, Edlyn<br />
grew up as the serf of a drunken lord. Now a spirited seventeen-year-old, Edlyn<br />
works to buy her freedom while fighting off the unwanted advances of Sheriff<br />
Hurst. One morning, Edlyn discovers a young man hiding in the stable. He is<br />
fleeing from Sheriff Hurst and inflicted with a sword wound that will surely be<br />
fatal without her help. In a split-second decision, Edlyn conceals the young<br />
man from Sheriff Hurst and begins nursing him back to health. As the young<br />
man's strength returns, Edlyn learns that his name is Maddock, and she is<br />
stunned to find that he has come from the mysterious land to the north. Maddock<br />
soon comes to Edlyn's aid, rescuing her from Sheriff Hurst. Suddenly declared<br />
outlaws, both Edlyn and Maddock must escape for their lives to enchanted<br />
Ravenshire Forest and then the desolate mountains beyond. As their adventure<br />
unfolds, Edlyn and Maddock discover that their meeting may have been more than<br />
chance, for their lives prove bound by a fate that neither of them could<br />
possibly have imagined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the Throwed Rolls, high cotton, and the St. Louis Cardinals. I have a little<br />
family consisting of son, daughter, son-in-law and a little Pi. Other than my<br />
children (and grandchild), my passion is writing. My current project is The<br />
Three Crowns Series. Sweet Tea is the first book in this seven-novel series<br />
which published October 15, 2013.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Besides reading and writing, I enjoy singing. I love music period. Music is in<br />
our family. Whether it be the bluegrass from the Ozarks that my Grandpa Sutton<br />
use to play on his banjo or fiddle, or the smooth, family harmony in which I am<br />
fortunate enough to sing with my Dad and Brother. But you can give me some<br />
kickin' AC/DC too! I like it all!<br /><br />
<br /><br />
I work full-time as an Administrative Assistant. Every free moment is dedicated<br />
to my family and my current project, The Three Crowns, a seven-novel paranormal<br />
romance series.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I<br />
looked back in the large room. Two major battles were taking place. I knew they<br />
both would be to the death. The warriors were like beautiful gods fighting<br />
demons from hell! Yet, they were all, the same. Their bodies were all<br />
well-defined, and their powers were like nothing I could imagine. They each<br />
fought with the force of what seemed like a hundred men. They weren’t human.<br />
The inhuman strength was not the only sign. Their eyes burned red and silver<br />
through the smoke, like laser beams in the fog of smoke. Their eyes were all I<br />
could see of their faces. And that was enough. That is what defined them. That<br />
is how I knew the good from the bad. And in those few moments that I stood<br />
watching the mêlée, a realization washed over me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Most sleepovers are simple. Food, fun, and<br />
pillow fights. But sixteen-year-old Karen Duncan has bigger plans for her<br />
slumber party. Family troubles have changed her over the past year, and she’s<br />
no longer the petty, selfish girl she used to be. Now she’s ready to shake<br />
things up with her friends. The guest list comes as a surprise to some and a<br />
slap in the face to others. This popular girl has invited some not-so-popular<br />
guests. Even more shocking, she’s left out some of the girls she’s hung out<br />
with since middle school. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Diane and Evette are outsiders, nervous about being stuck in a house with the<br />
same girls who tease them at school. Kathy, Lisa, and Joann come to the party<br />
with the confidence of the in-crowd, but they’re masking inner-turmoil that is<br />
bound to surface. Sandy and Angela are usually the voices of reason…usually.<br />
And then there’s Linda, the friend that got away. She may not ever forgive the<br />
girls who abandoned her years ago. Karen hopes to change her mind.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Her agenda is ambitious, and it could spell disaster. But Karen is convinced<br />
God will use this party to spark a new beginning for everyone involved. This<br />
companion book to A Living Hope gives us the inspired story Sadie Cummings<br />
wrote for the girls of Shiatown.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nurse Trudy Genova is making plans to<br />
take her relationship to NYPD detective Ned O'Malley to the next level, when<br />
she lands a gig as medical consultant on a film shoot at the famed Dakota<br />
apartment building in Manhattan, which John Lennon once called home. Then star<br />
Monica Kiley goes missing, a cast member turns up dead, and it appears Trudy<br />
might be next. Meanwhile Ned tackles a mysterious murder case in which the<br />
victim is burned beyond recognition. When his investigations lead him back to<br />
the Dakota, Trudy finds herself wondering: how can she fall in love if she<br />
can't even survive?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">But studying at the Academy isn’t everything she’d<br />
hoped. The headmistress and many of the students still look down on human<br />
handmaidens. It seems as quickly as she makes friends, she has to say goodbye.<br />
And just as she starts gaining acceptance, she puts the other students in<br />
danger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Harmonia grinned at them. “All of these herbs can<br />
heal the sick or injured, either on their own or as part of a mixture. Many are<br />
common plants while others are harder to find. Some, if handled incorrectly,<br />
can be fatal.” She motioned for the students to follow her. “To prevent any<br />
unnecessary accidents, I’ll teach you how to identify the deadliest herbs<br />
today.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: transparent;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Denya’s concern changed to curiosity. She knew which<br />
dangerous plants to avoid back home in Burrowville, but she hadn’t realized<br />
some of them could heal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: transparent;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">In the rear of the greenhouse, Harmonia stopped at a<br />
dirt-covered table bearing three different plants. She pulled iron tongs from<br />
her pouch and clasped a long blade of grass from the first plant. “The<br />
goldenslasher grows wild in the desert. Notice it’s several times thicker than<br />
your typical grass and bulges in the center. It’s also sharp enough to slice<br />
through flesh.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="background: transparent;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Pulling trimmers from her pouch, she cut off a tip<br />
about the size of Denya’s thumb. She switched the cutters for pinchers and<br />
pulled a golden fiber from the center of the freshly cut blade. “Tea made from<br />
this strand will settle the most nauseated stomach.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pay the bills she has waited tables, delivered newspapers, cleaned other<br />
people's houses, taught school, and had a stint as a secretary in a rock-n-roll<br />

Her fiction began to win awards during her college days. Since then she's<br />
published several short stories, novels, and novellas. She’s always reading and<br />
always writing, but even if she never sold another story, Ann would not stop<br />
writing. For her it's a necessity, like breathing. Most of the time, it even<br />
keeps her sane.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "calibri light" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">It was the late 60s. The Beatles had washed across America like a<br />
British tsunami, Vietnam was a grainy, green and black dose of unreality on the<br />
evening news, a bunch of hippies had taken over San Francisco, and there was a<br />
heck of a rainstorm pouring down on Woodstock. But I didn’t know all that then.<br />
I was a little bit lost, looking for something. I swear I didn’t go looking for<br />
a ghost…well, okay, maybe I did. But I didn’t expect to find one. Heck, I was<br />
just a kid. I didn’t expect much of anything.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">IT’S THE YEAR 2828, and Domus is the last remaining country. Divided into twelve walled cities known as </span>genuses<span style="font-size: 14pt;">, Domus spans what’s known as the purist lands—lands unaffected by the genetic modifications that killed all other species of mammals. But outside the walls of each </span>genus<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> the Immundus threaten the welfare of those within. From a young age, all citizens of Domus are trained for combat against these intruders.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #333333; font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">At sixteen, Nia Luna knows little of the Immundus, except for the citywide alarms that ring any time an Immundus nears the genus walls. What she does know is that her own species is dying—their numbers dwindling as a mysterious disease called allagine kills many before their eleventh birthday. The same disease that ravaged her family when it took her sister.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 11.25pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #333333; font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 14pt;">When Nia is recruited into Genesis, a research company pioneering the path to a cure, she knows that her dream to find a cure for allagine is finally within her grasp. But within weeks of starting at Genesis, Nia witnesses something she shouldn’t have—something that changes everything. As she sets down a dangerous path that uncovers national secrets, Nia will have to decide not only what kind of person she wants to be but also how far she’s willing to go to save humanity.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">I walk down the expansive<br />
hallway. Most doors are closed, but the door to Calculus class is still open<br />
and Mrs. Wiler is at the front of the classroom teaching. I tiptoe through the<br />
door, hoping she won’t say anything, but the rickety-rackety-clackety of my<br />
shoes yanks my classmates’ attention toward me—eyes prickling my skin as I make<br />
my way to my seat. I plop myself down, the lumbar of the seat adjusts to my<br />
body, and the desk swings into position in front of me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Glad you could join us,<br />
Nia,” Mrs. Wiler says, her voice thick with sarcasm. Calculus is not my<br />
favorite topic. I think it’s because the teacher has had it in for me all year.<br />
I can get by, but only with Alex’s help. I’m so glad he’s in my class.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Glad I could be here.” I give her a<br />
just-leave-me-alone smile. She doesn’t seem too enthused by my response, but<br />
it’s enough to appease her, so she continues her lesson.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Sabrina leans over the<br />
moment Mrs. Wiler turns away. “Great game last night.” Sabrina’s soft voice<br />
surfs the air like cumulus clouds on a calm day. She’s one of the brightest<br />
students in class, and I picture her on the Genus Council one day. She’s not a<br />
hologram either, which is nice. We attend classes with students in other<br />
genuses, though not in person. Instead, 4D holographic forms appear in their<br />
stead here, and I appear the same to them there. We can see, touch, hear, and<br />
smell the students even though they aren’t here. Still. You can tell<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">A hand touches my left<br />
shoulder from behind. “Alex wants you to check your messages,” whispers Robert,<br />
a hologram from Genus Amatista, which is on the other side of Domus and used to<br />
be called Canada. I open my messages on the screen on my desk—or dreen, as we<br />
like to call it—being watchful of the teacher. I’m greeted by Alex’s avatar<br />
holding balloons and throwing confetti that forms a message. It’s a group<br />
message to Eric, Casey, and I. In tall black serif letters it reads:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Alex, what would you say<br />
is the answer to this problem?” Mrs. Wiler inquires, pointing to the<br />
calculation on the media wall. I wonder if she knows Alex sent a message<br />
out—she’s freaky that way. Alex scribbles on his dreen, sending the equation<br />
and answer to the media wall for all to see. He figures out the problems in<br />
seconds, which is why I’m glad he’s in my class. Two thumbs up appear on my<br />
dreen from Casey and Eric. I<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ally to enter before him. She couldn’t help noticing that even though he’d<br />
dressed down in jeans, he still smelled intoxicating, like the buttoned-up<br />
lawyer she had met only a few weeks ago. The room looked strange and not at all<br />
like the fantastical space she remembered. The old, worn open beams of the<br />
stick-framed roof were the same grizzled brown, nails pinned haphazardly,<br />
reminiscent of artwork hanging on wire strung between them, and to the side,<br />
under the slant of the roof, sat a small twin-sized bed with the familiar faded<br />
floral quilt from her youth. An adequate chest of drawers guarded the new<br />
partition. Although small, the room gave every appearance of an old attic and<br />
certainly the space would be enough for the short amount of time she would need<br />
it. The only thing out of place was the half-window at the end of the<br />
unfinished wall. Ally laughed out loud at the sheetrock, nailed and taped, but<br />
not finished. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and opened his door, stepping aside once again for Ally to enter. Sure enough,<br />
his room was an exact duplicate in reverse, including the odd-looking<br />
half-window at the end of the new wall. Except his side didn’t even have the<br />
sheetrock; only wall studs with the back of her room’s sheetrock to separate<br />
the two spaces. His dresser was also standing against the partition, but a<br />
different style than hers, and his bed was covered in a faded quilt of the<br />
American flag. Altogether, the whole room appeared terribly small for someone<br />
of Gavin’s height.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">To<br />
escape capture by Imperial soldiers, 16-year-old Eridale Storm leaves the only<br />
home she’s ever known and drags her younger sister into the wilds of<br />
Mericon—the Empire that formed when America collapsed. Hoping to find safety<br />
with their mother who disappeared when Eridale was three, the girls follow<br />
clues that lead them across the country, but the empire hounds their every<br />
step.</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<br /><br />
The journey draws Eridale deeper into the conflict between the Empire and the<br />
rebel Freedom Fighters, producing questions about Eridale’s heritage, questions<br />
no one wants to answer.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Caught between the threads of deception, rebellion, and betrayal, Eridale<br />
struggles to find out who she is. The answers she finds could lead the country<br />
back to freedom or shackle them under the imperial throne forever.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
This is book 1 of a 4 book series and not a stand-alone book.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

& planted on the pages of the Bible provide insights into God’s word. Our<br />
Coffee Cottage’s fictional characters, Cinnamah-Brosia and friends,<br />
courageously use the essences to season the world around them with an<br />
overflowing measure of Jesus. All three volumes of Cinnamah-Brosia's<br />
Inspirational Collection for Women are featured in this single e-book.<br /><br />
<br /><i><br />
"The Essence of Courage: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in Solomon’s<br />
Locked Garden and in Your Heart"</i><br /><br />
<br /><br />
As you breathe in the fragrant aromas found in Solomon’s Locked Garden (Song of<br />
Solomon 4), you'll harvest the Fruit of the Spirit and cultivate it in the<br />
garden of your heart. <br /><br /><br />
<br /><i><br />
"The Essence of Joy: Filling Your Heart with the Aromas of Jesus’<br />
Nativity"</i><br /><br />
<br /><br />
The scents of Christmas invite our imaginations into the holiday season. What<br />
emotions flood your heart when the holidays aromas waft your way?<br /><br />
<br /><br />
You’ll meet women of the Bible and contemporary women (Cinnamah-Brosia and<br />
friends) like you and me who will encourage you to discover the refreshing<br />
essence of a life lived in the presence of Jesus. Let JOY fill your heart with<br />
the aromas of His nativity.<br /><br />
<br /><i><br />
"The Essence of Humility: Live and Love Like Jesus"</i><br /><br />
<br /><br />
We live in a culture overwhelmed with disrespect, egos, entitlement, rudeness,<br />
and offense — lives focused on self, rather than God or others. <br /><br />
<br /><br />
Jesus entered our world and walked among us. He placed no importance on rank or<br />
position. Jesus’ life reflected love because it reflected humility, and He<br />
invites us to live and love like Him.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
You’re invited to travel with Cinnamah-Brosia and friends once again to meet<br />
real-life people — our contemporaries and those on the pages of God’s word, who<br />
encountered the same real-life challenges you and I face each day. Learn the<br />
blessings of a life lived like Jesus lived —- with love and humility.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Through a crazy twist of fate, Caroline Clemmons<br />
was not born on a Texas ranch. To compensate for this illogical error, she<br />
writes about handsome cowboys, feisty ranch women, and scheming villains in a<br />
tiny office her family calls her pink cave. She and her Hero live in North<br />
Central Texas cowboy country where they ride herd on their three rescued indoor<br />
cats as well as providing nourishment outdoors for squirrels, birds, four feral<br />
cats, a fox, a raccoon, and two possums. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /><br />
The books she creates in her pink cave have made her an Amazon bestselling<br />
author and won several awards. She writes sweet to sensual romances about the<br />
West, both historical and contemporary as well as time travel and mystery. Her<br />
series include the Kincaids, McClintocks, Stone Mountain Texas, Bride Brigade,<br />
Texas Time Travel, Texas Caprock Tales, Pearson Grove, and Loving A Rancher as<br />
well as numerous single titles and contributions to multi-author sets. When<br />
she’s not writing, she loves spending time with her family, reading her friends’<br />
books, lunching with friends, browsing antique malls, checking Facebook, and<br />
taking the occasional nap.</span><br />

Magonagle is falling in love with Betsie and is fond of her son. Monk is<br />
certain she is not free of the men her late husband cheated. Although he is not<br />
a violent man by nature, Monk is willing to fight for Betsie’s safety. He and<br />
the men of the Kincaid family prepare to meet the enemy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">They were at the Kincaid front<br />
door. She hated their time together was over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Monk put his hands on her<br />
shoulders. “Betsie, may I kiss you goodnight?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Inside she was yelling <i>yes!,</i> but<br />
she pretended to be demure. She certainly didn’t want him to think she was a<br />
hoyden. “I think that would be all right.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">He removed his hat and pulled her<br />
into an embrace. She’d thought he meant a kiss on the cheek, but that wasn’t<br />
the case. His lips sought hers softly at first, then as if he would consume<br />
her. Without conscious thought her arms went around him, pulling him closer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">When he broke the kiss, it was as<br />
if she’d been deprived of a part of herself. Each of them panted with ragged<br />
breaths. He held her a few minutes longer, his forehead against hers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“I apologize for getting carried<br />
away.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Please don’t. I was hanging on to<br />
you as if I was drowning and you were a life preserver.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">He brushed an errant curl from her<br />
face. “Then you’re not sorry?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Not a bit. I have to admit I was<br />
carried away, too. Perhaps it’s not proper to admit, but I enjoyed your<br />
kisses.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: transparent; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Her admission brought a wide smile<br />
to his face. “Goodnight, Betsie. I’ll be by to escort you to Mass in the<br />
morning. I hope I may call again soon.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Virginia Atwell lives with her older brother, Jefferson, and his family in<br />
Booneville, Missouri. Under the pseudonym, V. A. Wellington, she secretly has<br />
been submitting articles to a well-respected investigative journal about<br />
controversial topics. To her dismay, she learns her family plans to buy new<br />
farmland in the wilds of central Kansas Territory, making it almost impossible<br />
for her to continue her clandestine article submissions. More importantly,<br />
Virginia is terrified of the prospect of living so close to hostile Indian<br />
tribes and dying by their hands because they resent white Americans moving onto<br />
their traditional buffalo hunting grounds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

resentful of female students, conceited and annoying, especially after his<br />

Something rather unexpected sparked my new career as an author—a family trip to Egypt with my mother and two young nephews. We had a great time and I thought I’d write them a short story as a different kind of souvenir…. Well, one book and a planned book series later, I had changed careers. I have now published Book 3 (The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper) in my MG adventure series Chronicles of the Stone, with many awards for the first book, The Secret of the Sacred Scarab, and a few for Book 2, The Search for the Stone of Excalibur, and one already for Book 3! I also teach online novel writing for aspiring authors and I find that very satisfying. Relaxation time finds me enjoying something creative or artistic, music, books, theatre or ballet. I love doing research for my book series. I love animals and have written two animal rescue stories. I have two adorable (naughty) little dogs called Chloe and Pumpkin, and a beautiful black cat called Bertie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">The snake jerked at the sound of his<br />
voice. It glided closer to the stone sarcophagus. Adam lay back on the pile of<br />
smelly bones and closed his eyes to half-slits. He looked up at the ceiling<br />
where the painted cobra shimmered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">I can’t believe this is happening. I<br />
know it’s after me.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">The slithering, scraping sound grew<br />
louder. Then directly in front of him, just at the edge of the stone<br />
sarcophagus, the forked tongue whipping back and forth came into view followed<br />
by the loathsome head, which reared up, its hood spread wide. Then the snake<br />
opened its monstrous jaws, revealing wicked fangs. A clear drop of deadly<br />
poison, glistening like a pearl, trembled on the end of each fang. The reptile<br />
made a hideous hissing as it stared into the stone coffin, hunting for its<br />
prey, waiting for the tiniest movement that would betray his presence. Adam<br />
closed his eyes so he wouldn’t have to look into the snake’s gleaming black<br />
orbs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">I’m finished, </span></i><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 106%;">he thought, sliding his hand into his<br />
pocket and feeling the scarab. Somehow, just holding it made him feel calmer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
