- Writing Our Song: A Billionaire Romance -
About Writing Our Song: A Billionaire Romance:“For aspiring singer, Beatrice Hampton, the future used to be a sweet thing to look forward to, filled with the kind of joy you could write a song about. However, after losing her parents while still in high school, she is left crushed, alone, and harboring a bitter resentment towards the wealthier members of society, whom she partially blames for the destruction of her hopes and dreams. After years of lonely struggle, she can hardly remember the last time she felt happy.
That’s when she literally stumbles into billionaire Jeremy Holt and things take another turn for the unexpected. Seeking only a temporary escape from the cold and grey confines of her life, Beatrice agrees to go with Jeremy on a short trip to New Zealand. On the surface Jeremy is the exact kind of man she promised herself she would never fall for but, after spending some time with him, she realises that maybe there’s a lot more to the successful young entrepreneur than his money. Maybe he’s the one person that can make her feel alive again.
Beatrice can’t deny the spark, the chemistry, between the two of them but her past still haunts her. To be with Jeremy she must face the stresses of life in the public eye and the guilt of broken promises to herself and her parents. To be without him is almost too painful to bear. Will Beatrice and Jeremy get the chance to write the song of their love, or will they each be left with the memory of a beautiful but all too brief time when their lives intertwined?
Excerpt: “”…When we entered the house and kicked our shoes off, I led Jeremy by the hand straight up the stairs and paused by the entrance to my bedroom. This was my last chance. If I wanted to stop right here, I could. I could just say goodnight and go to my room alone. If not, then I was lost to the most basic and animalistic needs of my body.
I turned and looked up into his eyes, seeing the barely restrained lust I felt reflected in their depths too. My right hand reached up and felt his chest through his shirt, running downwards until I could feel his clearly defined abs through the light material.
Each muscular bump of his body under my palm was like another nail in the coffin for my resistance and when Jeremy moved against me, pressing my back against the wall next to my bedroom door, I felt another hard bulge against my stomach that sent my hunger for him into overdrive.
Jeremy’s hand buried itself into my hair, gripping lightly but firmly, and pulled me into another kiss, the tip of his tongue reaching out to lightly brush against my own before we parted again and he rested his forehead against mine. Our eyes were only inches apart. If they truly are the window to the soul then it felt like Jeremy had front row seats to mine, like he could see everything and wasn’t running away…”"”

“I’m in my thirties and living in New Zealand. A little over a year ago I lost somebody very close to me. I was lucky in a way, I was given enough time to make a promise. My promise was that I would never forget our young and innocent love, and it’s a promise I intend to keep.My writing is a way to help me keep that promise. I’ve always enjoyed writing but was forced into being ‘prudent’ and giving myself over to soul-crushing office work for the sake of a steady salary. Recent events forced me to re-evaluate my priorities and I decided to take a chance. I like to put little pieces of ‘us’ into my writing, from funny conversations we had, to apocalyptic arguments, to that special feeling you get when you hop into bed fully aware that your feet are freezing but your partner doesn’t kick you away.
Even though these things are set in fictional worlds and attached to fictional characters, in a way it feels like I’m doing something that will make our love live forever. If somebody reads one of my stories and likes a joke or sheds a tear, then our love has lived on, and I thank any readers I might have for that.”

- Life, Love, and Surviving High School -
About Life, Love, and Surviving High School:Becca secretly lusts after Brent, Claire’s boyfriend–and then Claire makes Becca an offer about Brent that she can’t resist!
Becca’s in high school, but she hasn’t been on the same page as her best friends since just before the start of middle school and she doesn’t know exactly how things got so different. Not different in some edgy, gritty, she’s-a-rebel way. More of a Yes-she’s-a-dork way. Which makes it all the more amazing that while other friendships have crashed and burned all around them the four of girls have managed to stay Best Friends Forever. She doesn’t need to share in her friends’ spotlight. Becca’s happy to follow along in the shadows, as long as she’s not totally cast aside.
She definitely not ready for guys. In fact, she just wants to skip right over high school and jump straight to twenty-two. By then she figures she will have gotten through her first date, first kiss, passed her driver’s test, taken the SATs, filled out all those college applications, somehow survived living in a dorm and gotten her college degree without all the anxiety and drama.
Instead, just after silently deciding to not even think about guys and concentrate on school work for the next four years, she is instantly mesmerized by Brent, a seriously great-looking senior who also happens to have a long-time girlfriend, Claire. Not one to be the “other woman,” Becca imagines creative ways for Claire to be out of Brent’s life.
Meanwhile, Becca forms a strictly friends-only relationship with Colt, who she first thinks of as “Farmboy.” Becca and Colt turn out be good partners when it comes to studying, taking pictures for the school newspaper and working on a term paper together. But when one day Claire makes an offer about Brent that Becca can’t resist, that changes everything.

Q: Why the name SeaMonkey Ink?Why not? (grin) What’s not to love? I mean it’s Ink squirting out of a Seamonkey. I mean sure no one has ever witnessed such a phenomenon but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen. (laugh)
Seriously, when I was in school (high school and beyond) I used to play pranks under various code names – one of which was Seamonkey. I also have always enjoyed writing and back when I started to do so, I used to write everything by hand (which requires either lead or Ink) even long after I got my first word processor and computer. After I finally started typing directly, it still took ink to print.
Hence SeaMonkey Ink.
Q: Have you ever actually owned Seamonkeys?
Actually I have and I’m pretty well convinced that there is a wanted poster with my name and likeness up somewhere in the SIA (Seamonkey Intelligence Agency) headquarters for mass genocide. (laugh) I try but I fail.
Q: Are any of your characters based on people you know/knew in real life?
Not really. Most are composites. However, I will say that more than a little of my own personality/thoughts/expressions pop up in my stories and among my characters.
For instance, in Rebellion Book I: Book of Quay, Phong Quay makes a statement that one day he is changing his name and not telling anyone what he changed it to. I’ve said that to people since I was like 5 – particularly when I get agitated at being disturbed.
So if any real life person is used as a template for some of my dialogue and character behaviors it would be myself.
Q: You write some historical novels. How accurate are they?
Accurate enough. (laugh) I always say I do just enough research to be dangerous.
I enjoy history and find some of the portraits of these figures, times and places to be fascinating. I actually do put in quite a nice chunk of time trying to make the story as historically accurate as possible though I would like to think my work is more character driven then driven by the time, places and figures that inspired it.
Q: Is there anything you would like to add in closing?
Yes! Buy my books. (laugh)
By contributing to my income through a purchase, you make it possible for me to spend more time writing new novels for you to enjoy. As a portion of the profits of my sales do go to charity, you are also placing yourself 2 degrees of separation from being a philanthropist!

- FREE Dilemma’s of a Dragonslayer Series Prologue by Ruth Ford Elward -
About FREE Dilemma’s of a Dragonslayer Series Prologue by Ruth Ford Elward:Before the series began, and before Paladin Carison Destine is known as the best of any of the Paladins of the Realm. And before the tale of his fighting an entire dragon horde and the Butcher Lemore is legendary. His place in the histories of the Realm, along with his companions, is assured.
But how did his story begin?
This tale is part of the answer to that question. We go back now to a time when Carison Destine was just a dragonslayer for hire, gaining his own reputation by his own two hands, along with his constant companion and lover.
Janetha Sapphire.
In a backwater town in the Third Kingdom, Carison meets the man who was Paladin before him, Marsden Ullahu. He quickly learns that not all heroes live up to their name. Marsden hires Carison and Janetha to help him on one simple task. Find a dragon, kill the dragon. Simple.
Only, this is no ordinary dragon. This is supposedly one of the extinct Whitescales. Nasty, territorial dragons who breathe acid. Janetha knows the money is good for such a simple job but that’s what bothers Carison.
What isn’t Marsden telling them?

Ruth Ford Elward, a story teller of Mystery and Thrillers. “I love mysteries, whether it be solving a crime that’s been committed or finding a long lost artifact that could change the world or how to thwart a plot to regain a kingdom. Another love of mine is thrillers, because the pace is faster and the hero has to be more resourceful than the often better equipped villain,” says Ruth.After years in the business world between managing a division for an international financial printing company, modeling in her spare time and later to performing esthetic treatments, Ruth decided her real passion lies in the world of writing.
“Writing keeps the mind sharp and gives me the opportunity to exercise my imagination to engage the reader,” says Ruth. “One of my greatest joys is to be able to lose myself in my writing. So my writing ranges from Mystery, Suspense, Thrillers which includes the areas of International Mystery and Crime, Paranormal Mystery, Spy Thrillers and Speculative Fiction to the various challenges of aging in Non-Fiction.”
Ruth lives in Colorado and enjoys biking, golfing and ballroom dancing in her spare time.

- It’s Not ABout Sex by David Kalergis -
About It’s Not ABout Sex by David Kalergis:It’s Not about Sex is a fast-paced and intelligent work of literary fiction. The subtitle – A Tale of Friendship, Betrayal, Adultery and Murder – clearly tells the reader what to expect, but the plot, tone, character development and underlying themes all aspire to a higher literary standard than the typical genre mystery. The story revolves around Leonard Hirsh, one of the world’s foremost post Abstract-Expressionist artists. Now at the height of his career, Lennie has everything to which a man can aspire – fame, wealth, and a beautiful young wife from one of New York’s oldest families. He also exhibits the stunning arrogance and ego which too often accompany such accomplishments. When he learns of an immensely gifted artist, Raymond Martin, painting in a solitary cell in a correctional institution, Lennie uses all his influence to have Ray paroled into his care. He then risks his own reputation by introducing Ray into the New York City art world, to instant acclaim. He also brings Ray into his personal orbit, providing him a cottage on his grand Millbrook country estate, Schoolcross, in the heart of New York’s elite fox-hunting country. Schoolcross was the inheritance of Lennie’s wife, the former Nora Van Leuyden Longworth, and he, Nora and their entourage of friends, employees and hangers-on, live there in the Big House and its numerous dependencies while enjoying the bounty emanating from Lennie’s immense financial success.
The story is narrated by James Bradley, a New York art dealer recently kicked out of his New York apartment by his estranged wife. Bradley will share one of the Schoolcross cottages with Ray, and this access to the main protagonists – Ray, Nora and Lennie – give him an inside look at the drama that develops from the moment Ray is released from prison until the thrilling climax.

- Marcuria’s End by Joshua Steelman -
About Marcuria’s End by Joshua Steelman:The world of Marcuria nears its predestined end. This is the last Age. The final Cleansing. Three unwitting harbingers—whose lives have been carefully constructed, vigilantly directed onto dark paths—are being prepared for this culmination. Monsters they are destined to be, not the heroes they always dreamed.
Alyn sees what others cannot: the Dark. This darkness infests the land, swarms over all creation. Even those he loves are infected with it. Hatred for the Dark festers as Alyn battles a raging torrent inside: an alluvion yearning to sweep this perceived blight out of existence.
Jarrod is a carousing layabout haunted by the trauma he suffered as a young child. He drowns himself in drink and the occasional girl to escape the constant, hellacious memories. Yet this isn’t enough. It can never be enough. For years, he has mulled over a solution, but his cowardice is too great of an impediment. Even so, the notion of revenge never wanders out of reach as it foments his craving for knowledge.
Gherart has just celebrated a major promotion to join the ranks of the Eldest’s personal guard. These elite guardsmen are recognized as national heroes, exemplars of virtue and honor. To have come this far, Gherart has had to transform himself into a new man, a religious man. This mighty change entailed purging his life of every connection to his criminal past; however, there is one tie he can’t cut loose: his best friend—a brother in spirit. . .a thief envious of Gherart.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
I began writing a little more than seven years ago during a tremendously confusing and painful period of my life in which my mental health deteriorated rapidly over the course of a couple of weeks. Due to the immense confusion, my reality and my understandings of basic concepts shifted and changed over a short period of time, so I wrote out of desperation, in search of anything that would keep me “steady,” that would keep me anchored to anything solid, to anything of real substance. Out of this womb, the initial draft of Marcuria’s End was born. For many years, I struggled through tremendous adversity while steadily working on the book: shaping it, molding it into a worthy offering. Every ounce of my soul went into every word and every sentence because I believed in the art I was creating; this was my anchor to peace and clarity. Writing Marcuria’s End saved my life, and now I wish to share it with you, because I believe there is something of value contained within its pages, something worthy of your precious time and hard-earned money. I wouldn’t have published it otherwise.
Yes, I self-publish. And, yes, I fully understand and appreciate the negative perceptions that go along with the label. I want you to know that I am going to work my hardest, that I am going to do my very best to rise above and break through those dismal expectations. It is my aim to create excellent content that doesn’t just compare to the best books from traditional publishers but surpasses them in originality, depth, and execution. I will become known for the superb quality of my work or I shall not be known at all. Never will I publish anything that does not meet my strict standards. Marcuria’s End took me over seven years to write, edit, and publish. If it takes me that long to publish the next novel, then so be it. I cannot in good conscience release anything of inferior quality and then ask for your money and time. I will not stand for that. I care about people, not dollars, so I will work hard to earn your trust by only publishing content of the highest order.Marcuria’s End by Joshua Steelman is a post from Awesome Gang

To make matters worse, Josiah’s daughter, Asa decides to move to London, Franklin leaves town and Jake starts singing a different tune. Josiah doubts her ability to meet the future alone. Maybe it’s time to sell the Butterfly and move to Florida with the rest of the old folks.

- Spirit Rider by Evergreen Susan Amundson -
About Spirit Rider by Evergreen Susan Amundson:When Jayne Masterson looks in the eyes of her new quarterhorse mare, she sees a gentle soul waiting to emerge. When she lands in the dirt, she begins a journey of healing through animal communication, natural horsemanship and the ancient Mayan teachings of the medicine wheel. But, is it her horse, or herself who needs healing?
Many people ask me if Spirit Rider is biographical. My reply is that it is a work of fiction. Yet, as an author, I have learned that any character I write must come from somewhere inside of me. If I don’t have some sense of what that character thinks and feels, or how he or she would react to a given situation, the character won’t come alive on the page.
A good friend of mine read the first draft of Spirit Rider and commented about something Jayne did in the book, “I didn’t know you did that.”
“I didn’t,” I replied. “I’m not Jayne.”
So, when people assume I’m Jayne or SaharaRose, I take that as a compliment. It means I’ve captured the humanness of my characters. So in a way, I am Jayne, I am SaharaRose, I am TwoRivers, I am Bob. And though none of us would want to admit it, I am also Donna.
In the Delicate Lodge teachings, we learn about the concept of All My Relations. In a nutshell, it is the belief that we are all connected to everything in the universe. We are all one. So as you read Spirit Rider, a book about healing and balancing your life with all your relations, find yourself in the characters. See yourself in the mirror they create.
The next book in the series is currently titled, Gifts of the Storm. Jayne and SaharaRose will be back, along with new characters. And again, I am Allie, I am Hick, I am Inge and Swede. But, I draw the line at the shorthorn bull….

It’s May 1996 and Marietta High School English teacher Kate MacCreadie is almost at the end of her rope, torn between the demands of her work and her heavy involvement in helping her younger brother Rob and his wife Melinda take care of their five young children on the MacCreadie family ranch.
When Marietta’s fine-looking new sheriff, Harrison Pearce, pulls Kate over for her third traffic violation in as many months, they both know it’s a sign that something has to give.
Kate finds it almost a relief to be told by this calm, strong man to get her life in order, and then she just keeps on seeing him – at school after there’s been a suspicious break-in, on the evening of the prom when he’s off duty and driving his nephew and friends to the event in one of his brother’s gorgeous vintage cars.
Late that night, after prom is over, a tragedy at River Bend Park brings Kate and Harrison together yet again, and this time, in the highly charged atmosphere, Kate discovers that she never wants to let him go. But with his divorce still fresh, is Harrison ready for someone new?

He must overcome his fears if he is to ever recover. With the help of his truest friend in the world, a novice sorceress, he sets out to confront the Dragon again, against all odds, against all advice, and with little hope of ever returning.
The Dragon presents more of a danger than he realizes. He might not survive. But he’ll die trying.
Part 2 – Heart
Paladin Carison Destine is in the small Three Kingdoms town of Vedoran to deal with a dragon problem. A Digger, a dragon who attacks its prey from underground, has decided the townsfolk here are its prey.
The woman he loves, Raven, is with him. Before they can take on the dragon, Carison is approached by the Chamberlain Randithew Moorlock, with an offer of employment.
He wants Carison to help take back the throne of the infamous Butcher Lemore. Carison has no problem saying no. Until the Chamberlain ups the stakes and kidnaps his beloved…
Part 3 – Soul
Carison Destine, Paladin of the Realm, is being forced to murder the Governor of the former Fourth Kingdom. His cooperation is being forced by evil men holding the woman he loves captive. Raven is a powerful sorceress.
But as Carison points out, anyone can die if they let their guard down. He knows what he must do. He can’t hesitate. Hesitating could get Raven killed.
Sneaking into the Governor’s Palace was easy. But will killing a man in cold blood be that easy? To save the woman he loves, it just might be.

Carison Destine, Paladin of the Realm, has agreed to help an old friend prepare the defenses of the Governor’s Palace in what was once the Fourth Kingdom.
Along with his lover, the beautiful and deadly sorceress Raven, they begin their task, knowing it is only a matter of time before the deposed King Lemore tries to take his throne back by force.
An attack on the palace by a Yellowscale dragon leaves Carison’s friend poisoned and dying and Carison must find help in the most unlikely of places.
And all the while there are rumors from the lips of the dragons themselves that something is coming, something that Carison cannot prepare for…
Part 2 – Hidden Dangers
Dreams of impending terrors wake Carison Destine from his sleep. As Paladin of the Realm, he has faced untold dangers and always walked away from them, although not always without losing something of himself.
The dragons are anxiously awaiting something. Something that will be worse than anything Carison and the Sorceress Raven have ever faced before. They must find out what it is, and stop it if they can.
If they don’t die trying.
Part 3 – There is Death
On their way to stop the tyrant Butcher Lemore from raising a dragon army, Paladin Carison Destine, the sorceress Raven, and their friend Captain Orson Malidra are set upon by a group of Bluescale dragons.
In the middle of the fight that they are bound to lose, they are saved by a friend. A friend who gives his life for them.
His death tips Raven over an emotional cliff, unleashing powers and dangers she had tried so hard to bury within herself. She changes before Carison’s eyes. And then leaves.
Looking for help in the next town, what they find is rumors that Raven has slaughtered a nearby village. Carison knows it can’t be true. But he also knows he has to go to her, to try to bring her back to herself.
But at the same time, Butcher Lemore is plotting and scheming to regain his throne.
And kill anyone who stands in his way.

About Abandon the Established Path? (Volume 3 of 8 Dilemma’s of a Dragonslayer series):Part 1 – Traitors or Friends
On their way to stop Butcher Lemore from hatching an evil dragon type thought long extinct, Paladin Carison Destine and Captain of the Bastion Guardsmen Orson were set upon by a murderous pack of Bluescales.
Carison’s love, Raven, is lost to them a blaze of her own power. She lives, but she has become a force that even she cannot control.
Now, with their new ally Janetha Sapphire, a Dragonslayer and also an old friend of Carison’s, they are trying to find and reach Lemore before he visits devastation upon the Realm like has never been seen before.
And hopefully, at the same time, they will be able to save Raven from herself.
But Carison has reason to believe not all of his friends are what they seem. Or who they say.
Part 2 – Betrayal
Carison Destine is facing the most dangerous task of his dragonslayer career.
He and his companions Janetha Sapphire and Captain Orson are planning to attack the Butcher Lemore in his stronghold of dragons. They’ll need all the help they can get.
Especially now that Raven, sorceress and Carison’s lover, has empowered herself with dark power. She may have gone beyond his ability to save her. She may be a greater danger than either Lemore or the dragons.
And Carison may be her only hope.
Janetha recruits two more dragonslayers to help them. One an old friend, one that Carison has never met. And in the mix of all of these friends and comrades stands a traitor. Someone Carison will never see coming.
Until it’s too late.
Part 3 – The Hatching
Paladin Carison Destine has found himself taken prisoner at the hands of people he called friends.
Everyone he has ever cared about is either lost to him, or turned traitor.
He finds himself tied down in the stronghold of Butcher Lemore, surrounded by dragons of every sort and description. And in the center of them all lays Y’sil’ki, the Redscale female playing hatch mother to the coveted Diamondscale egg that will make Lemore ruler of all dragon kind.
Lemore promises to make Carison the Diamondscale’s first meal. So as one-time friends and allies look on, Lemore prepares to receive the newborn Diamondscale as its master.
But treachery cuts both ways.

About The Aftermath (Volume 4 of 8 Dilemma’s of a Dragonslayer series):Part 1 – Destruction’s Edge
After narrowly escaping death when Lemore’s plan to bond a Diamondscale’s loyalty goes horribly wrong, Carison and his one-time companions Janetha and Brice follow Lemore out through secret tunnels to the Averkot Forest.
Carison wants nothing more than to kill Lemore now, and if he hadn’t lost his weapons in his escape, the Butcher might be dead already.
But Lemore might just be the key to getting close enough to the Diamondscale to kill it. Even so, Carison wants nothing to do with any plan Lemore might come up with. He just might not have a choice.
And on the far distant border of the Realm, Raven has healed herself. Fel has shown her how.
Now she can turn her considerable power to the task of killing Lemore, his dragons, and all of his supporters.
Unless memories of who she used to be distract her from the vengeance she has sworn.
Part 2 – The Trap, Part I
Redscale Queen. Her Diamondscale son reigns with her.
But Lemore, the man who would be King, has a plan to gain control of the Diamondscale, and the rest of the dragons as well. Paladin Carison Destine is forced to help. For now.
Everything has come to this moment. Raven, the sorceress who has combined herself with a Greenscale dragon, has found her way into the Vale of Stone.
The Diamondscale is approaching. Carison, and his former friends Janetha and Brice, lay in wait.
And there are still others who have come to this place, in this moment that everything will change.
Part 3 – The Trap, Part II
In the midst of the Dragon’s Teeth, a twisting maze of monolithic stones, Paladin Carison Destine is losing his chance to kill a monster.
Two monsters, in fact.
The Diamondscale dragon recently born into the world is here. That monster pales in comparison to the man who made its birth possible. The Butcher Lemore. Those two are about to be the center of a titanic battle involving dragons, men, friends, and enemies.
Lemore wants the Diamondscale for himself. Carison knows he can’t let that happen. He’ll fight to the death to keep it from happening.
The trap is sprung. And it will close with lethal force.
The only question is on who.

About All In Good Time (Volume 5 of 8 Dilemma’s of a Dragonslayer series):Part 1 – Apocalypse Stirring
After losing the Diamondscale to Butcher Lemore, Paladin Carison Destine and Janetha Sapphire seek aid from the Three Kingdoms.
A war is coming.
If Lemore isn’t stopped first, dragons by the dozens, by the hundreds, will swoop down upon the Realm, killing everything in their path.
But no help is coming. Carison and Janetha are on their own.
They seek out the aid of inventors in the coastal city of Rareborn. Anything they can use to level the field is an advantage that Carison wants to get his hand on.
Only, someone is following them. And the agents of Lemore are everywhere.
Part 2 – The Diamondscale’s Story
King Lemore sits on his throne, ruling over the dragons. His intentions to use them as a force against the Three Kingdoms, to take back his throne by force, has been thwarted at every turn by Paladin Carison Destine and the sorceress, Raven.
Lemore wants them dead. Needs them dead, if his plans are to ever fall into place.
The Diamondscale dragon, Lemore’s loyal servant and key to the loyalty of the dragons, is being sent to lure Raven out, and kill her.
Raven has faced any number of dragons before, and killed them all with extreme prejudice. She seeks Lemore’s life. But she’ll have to go through the Diamondscale first.
And the Diamondscale dragon has scores of his own to settle.
Part 3 – The Beginning of the end
War approaches the realm.
Racing to Bastion to raise an army to stand against the dragons Butcher Lemore now commands, Carison and his companions become sidetracked in a town called Timberfall.
A meeting is about to take place there. A meeting of the Yis.
Janetha Sapphire crafts a plan to sneak into the meeting to learn what the Yis are planning. Janetha and Carison and Deacon Winters are agreed, it can’t be anything good.
Turns out, they’re right.
Meanwhile, Lemore crafts his plans to take over the old Fourth Kingdom, and from there the entire Realm. His allies have their own plans, ones that stand in Lemore’s way. He may rule the dragons. But he’s finding out that rule isn’t absolute.
Which is something he will not tolerate.
The Realm will be his.
All will bow their knees and heads to him, King Lemore.
Or they will all burn to ash.

This was followed by ‘Leon Chameleon PI and the case of the kidnapped mouse’ which was selected as one of the 2013 Kart Kids book award winners. ‘Leon Chameleon PI and the case of the bottled bat’ is awaiting publication.

- Tom’s Angel -
om’s Angel, an historical romance by Linda George, is set in the 1880s in the area in Ft. Worth TX called Hell’s Half Acre. It is the long-awaited sequel to Gabriel’s Heart, which was published by Harlequin Historicals under the pseudonym Madeline George. If you love stories that include characters from a previous novel, then you’ll love reconnecting with Gabriel and Trina Hart in Tom’s Angel, where Trina’s eldest brother finds love in the least likely place on earth.
Tom McCabe has been asked by his father to go to Ft. Worth to escort a young woman back to Denver. When Tom gets to the house where this young woman lives, he is shocked by its location. What kind of woman lives among prostitutes?
Rosalie Kincannon lives in the infamous Hell’s Half Acre, where “soiled doves” ply their trade in saloons and dance halls. Rosalie’s father, William, owns the Yellow Rose and relies on Rosalie to serve as nurse and midwife to the women who work there. The women call her “an angel to the soiled doves.”
Rosalie promised her mother she would never become one of the women she cares for, that she’d be a “proper lady.” But Rosalie has never had an opportunity to leave the Acre and pursue a life of her own with a husband and children.
When her father uses her as a bet in a card game—and loses—she is suddenly faced with being indentured to a vile man from Denver whose intentions toward her are anything but “proper.”
When Tom arrives at Rosalie’s door, he is shocked to find a lady whose life in the Acre is truly hell. He vows to find a way to release her from the indenture, so her dream of being a proper lady will be achieved. But there are other problems standing in his way that involve his father and his two brothers, Will and Bo and the McCabe Ranch he’s called home all his life.
Tom never dreamed he’d find the woman destined to share his life in Hell’s Half Acre. He had to come to hell to find an angel.

Linda George is the author of more than 70 books, fiction and nonfiction, for children, teens, and adults. She and her husband, Charles, divide their time between their home in West Texas and their mountain retreat near Cloudcroft, NM. For Linda, there’s no better place on earth to write than among pines, first, and aspens, watching squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, deer, elk, and birds coming to feast on seeds and corn.“I’ve been a professional writer since 1979,” Linda says. “And Charles and I taught for the Institute of Children’s Literature for five years, to help aspiring writers reach their goals just as we’ve been blessed to meet ours.”
Since April 2013, Linda has focused entirely on writing romance fiction and on making her previously published novels available to readers in e-book format. ASK A SHADOW TO DANCE is one of those books. Originally published by Five Star Expressions in hard cover, Linda is pleased to make this time-travel romance set in Memphis, TN available to new readers. “The chapters in this book alternate between the present and the past because the hero lives in present-day Memphis while the heroine lives in Memphis during the 1880s. I went to Memphis in the fall and again in the spring to research this book. Everyone there–even a gentleman on the trolley–was eager to help me learn everything I needed to know about Memphis to bring the city alive to the reader, in both the present and the past.”
Linda’s historical romance, SILVER LADY, takes place in Colorado during the silver boom days. And her newest historical romance, TOM’S ANGEL, is set in an unusual place for a romance–Hell’s Half Acre in Ft. Worth, TX during the 1880s.
TOM’S ANGEL is the long-awaited sequel to GABRIEL’S HEART, published by Harlequin Historicals under the pseydonym Madeline George. Characters from GABRIEL’S HEART are an integral part of the love story between Tom McCabe–Trina’s eldest brother–and Rosalie Kincannon. There will be two novels to follow because Trina has three brothers.

Her ally does not want to be enslaved.
A bargain is struck.

The attack has already begun. And as town’s burn and people die, Carison desperately searches for a way to get in front of the gathering dragons and stop them.
By any means necessary.
Part 2 – Discoveries
Raven has learned she still has her magics.
Her love for Carison has returned that power to her in a new way.
Just in time for her to transport Carison and Deacon and Janetha into the middle of a group of dragons about to destroy the town of Doricinth.
Now, they face Bluescales, and Redscales, and other dragons as well. And worse, a single Blackscale, bigger and more dangerous than all the other dragons put together.
Death is in the air.
If they survive, there is a secret waiting for them to find. One that might tilt the balance of the coming war.
If Lemore and his Diamondscale don’t lay waste to everything around them first.
Part 3 – The Power of Need
Blood that won’t burn.
Carison has stumbled on a unique advantage for him and his friends.
The time has nearly come for the final battle.
If they cannot stop the dragons from leaving the Vale soon, then there will be no way to keep Lemore’s evil from sweeping across the Realm.
They have won a minor skirmish with a small horde of dragons. But they have become separated from the Guardsmen. They need to rejoin their forces to face Lemore.
Raven volunteers to go back for the Guardsmen, using her magics to transport herself across the spaces between.
She arrives back with them to find the Guardsmen under attack by Yis agents.
She discovers her abilities have been multiplied, both to kill, and to heal.
When Raven tries to move the Guardsmen back to Carison and the others, she makes a deadly error that lands them in the Vale of Stone. Surrounded by dragons.
With no way out.

Goodreads Profile PageAuthor Bio:
Ruth Ford Elward, a story teller of Mystery and Thrillers. “I love mysteries, whether it be solving a crime that’s been committed or finding a long lost artifact that could change the world or how to thwart a plot to regain a kingdom. Another love of mine is thrillers, because the pace is faster and the hero has to be more resourceful than the often better equipped villain,” says Ruth.After years in the business world between managing a division for an international financial printing company, modeling in her spare time and later to performing esthetic treatments, Ruth decided her real passion lies in the world of writing.
“Writing keeps the mind sharp and gives me the opportunity to exercise my imagination to engage the reader,” says Ruth. “One of my greatest joys is to be able to lose myself in my writing. So my writing ranges from Mystery, Suspense, Thrillers which includes the areas of International Mystery and Crime, Paranormal Mystery, Spy Thrillers and Speculative Fiction to the various challenges of aging in Non-Fiction.”
Ruth lives in Colorado and enjoys biking, golfing and ballroom dancing in her spare time.
Forever Together (Volume 7 of 8 Dilemma’s of a Dragonslayer series) is a post from Awesome Gang
