  2. The Gypsy Hunter by Virginia Vayna

    gypsyhunterAbout The Gypsy Hunter by Virginia Vayna:

    Have you ever wondered why some families become members of the aristocracy? Does the universe choose them? Whatever happened to Constantinople? The Element series welcomes these questions into its story. The Gypsy Hunter is the sequel to The Hunters and the Queen. The Gypsy Hunter is a work of fiction in the young adult, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance genres. The story blends elements of romance, adventure, mystery, history, reincarnation, unconditional love, and self-preservation. What would you do if you knew the queen? I hope you enjoy the series. Please come back for more of the journey.~

    Description:

    Jolán and Colemund have made a pact with each other. Their solidarity is sealed within the Aegean Sea; however, a future of chaos awaits on their horizon. They must prepare. They must gain their strength. A battle is developing in the realm.

    In the meantime, Sadeiq, the gypsy hunter, tries desperately to stop her transformation. She is turning into a hunter, and she desires to cease the process. Sadeiq desperately needs to locate Jolán for help.

    The realm is deeply disturbed by the overwhelming destruction caused by the Order of the Hunters and the dark lords. The sky world hungers for a balance in the world. The sky world dislikes the dark lord dominance that permeates the planet. The Order must keep a planetary balance, but they have developed into selfish and monopolistic creatures. They are prepared to fight for their dominance; they do not want to lose their power.

    Book Excerpt:

    As Hadrian continues to read her thoughts, Sadeiq begins to shake; she is trying to break out of her deranged state of mind. She fights to awaken, but Hadrian is holding her down and using his full mental strength to prevent her from awaking. After several minutes of struggle, Sadeiq is able to return to a lucid state. She looks at Hadrian, with blood trickling down the side of her head, and she said with exhaustion, ‘I thought you would be stronger, Hadrian.’ Hadrian knows she is hiding more information, but he has enough to start his search. He looked at Sadeiq, wiped his mouth with his fingers and confidently said, ‘As long as I stay stronger than you, I am ahead in this game. Besides, you’re going to guide me to Kinsburgh. I believe you can take me to a sky being, a new being with elemental power in this realm. What is her name, Jolán, is it?’ Sadeiq grew stiff, her senses were heightened. Hadrian then said, ‘Yes, I do believe her name is Jolán. She grew up in Kinsburgh, and you live close to her family. It’s a shame you didn’t report your findings to the Order. Now, I must report you to the dark lords.’

    Sadeiq wanted to flee. She wanted to stop her process, but she was caught. She was captured by the very entity she was desperately seeking to avoid. She wanted to remain human, she wanted to find Jolán. Hadrian saw her tension and said, ‘My dear, I need you to help me navigate towards the Vajnbirg house. As long as I need you, I am not going to let you out of my sight. I’ll be right here to make sure you morph completely into a hunter. You will like this lifestyle, I guarantee.’

  3. Duality (Cordelia Kelly #1)

    paperbacksmallAbout Duality (Cordelia Kelly #1):

    She is, the most interesting Empath in the world…

    My name is Cordelia Kelly and I’m an empath. I know what you’re thinking. In fact, I know what you’re feeling, too. I could use your emotions against you or free you from their constraints. My choice, really, and depends on my mood. You see, I filter both light and dark emotions from humans, but which I chose depends on which side of me is in charge.

    I’m not normal. I am the line walker and restorer of balance. A Royal. Think black sheep with red hair – not the blonde bombshell princess. I’m an aberration and unique. Not fully light, nor fully dark. Not accepted by anyone, but wanted by everyone. Mostly for their own amusements or nefarious purposes.

    Except for Sol Winterborn. He sees the real me. When fate throws us together to unravel the mystery of my grandmothers death, we have to choose our destiny. Will we walk together… or continue on, alone?

    The problem is I’ve been found by those who want me dead, and Sol has deep secrets of his own. My only choice now is to fight… or die.

    The road is dark, yet I follow the light.

    For now.

    Author Bio:
    I write with emotion, occasionally a temper, and I let my words flow free. I dabble in paranormal, contemporary romance, erotic fiction and darker urban fantasy. I fly by the crotch of my panties when writing, though I do try to keep a notebook handy for my many scribbled ideas, plot twists, and characters.

    I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first story when I was in seventh grade–A first person account of an entire summer. I went through a massive teen angst poetry phase, and I have notebooks and binders filled with prose.

    Ceithin and Aurelia from Fractured Moon showed up in my head. They yapped incessantly, demanding I sit and tell their story. After a month or two of being woken up with harsh whispers, I started writing. They haven’t stopped, and in fact, brought friends. Now my head is filled with stories, scenes, snippets and crazy people.

    Cue Law and Order music here: dun, dun.

    These are their stories.

    Oh, and hey… I’m a Virgo.

  4. The Lewis and Clark Chronicles; Fprt Mandan to the Pacific

    The-Lewis-Clark-Main-Book-CoverAbout The Lewis and Clark Chronicles; Fprt Mandan to the Pacific:

    Was Captain Meriwether Lewis murdered? Why did Thomas Jefferson accept the report he had committed suicide? After Lewis’s untimely death, these Chronicles could have been authored by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson, instead, relegated the job to Captain William Clark. As a result, the narrative of the expedition has, until now, never been told as Captain Meriwether Lewis intended it to be. Now it has been edited and annotated to include brief biographical sketches of the members of the expedition, background information regarding the Native American Indian tribes they encountered, and the current place names of the geographical land marks the Captains named in honor of members of their party. (Sadly, none of them remain named as the Captains intended.)

    Author Bio:
    I have been practicing as a licensed psychologist in San Antonio, Texas since 1995, with a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. I am also on the clinical adjunct faculty of The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.

    My focus is on supporting the well-being of individuals by tapping into their strengths and helping them adapt to life changes. Over the years, I have helped thousands of women get unstuck, gain clarity, and take action to improve every aspect of their lives, including their health, relationships, career, and parenting. Since one of my practice specialties is infertility, I regularly work with professional women, many of whom have delayed building their family in order to pursue their career. As a result, I am intimately familiar with the challenges modern women face in juggling multiple roles and navigating the tremendous pressures of contemporary life. I am married and have two children, so I understand the demands of being a working woman with a very full life!

    I am passionate about making the rich information and tools from my profession accessible to anyone interested in moving toward greater emotional, psychological, and physical health. I am confident that by implementing the strategies outlined in Strong Women, Strong Love: The Missing Manual for the Modern Marriage, you can dramatically increase your odds of a strong and healthy relationship.
