EXCERPT
 
“Need a little help?” someone asked from her left.
Amber looked up and caught her breath, her gaze fixed on the deepest, liquid hazel
eyes she’d ever seen. The handsome guy in front of her smiled and inclined his head. She
kept staring, taking in his tall frame and wide shoulders. He wore a bright aqua t-shirt that
hugged his torso and contrasted beautifully with his deeply tanned muscular arms. Amber’s
heart fluttered and a rush of desire erupted over her entire body. Never before had she
experienced such overwhelming feelings. She was aware that she stood with her mouth
gaping open like a fool but she couldn’t stop herself. He was beautiful, handsome, sexy…Oh
my God! He’s smoking hot! Amber couldn’t find her voice, and his brow furrowed when she
still hadn’t spoken.
“Ah, I...I’m looking for East Wing Hall,” Amber blurted out, her skin burning red-
hot. She hated that her cheeks betrayed her embarrassment, and desire, so easily.
“Oh, that’s easy. It’s this building over here.” He pointed to a row of blue oblong
shapes on the map. “East Wing Hall” was printed above them. “My sister stays in the same
building. I can show you if you want?”
She nodded.
His frown disappeared and was replaced by a huge grin that showed off his perfectly
white teeth. Who is this gorgeous person standing before me? she wondered. He portrayed
a certain confidence about himself, but it was not filled with arrogance. His smile was warm
enough to melt the iciest heart, and Amber’s refused to stop its erratic beat. She couldn’t
drag her eyes away from his lips, wondering what it would be like to touch them with her
own. Would they be firm or soft? She bit her lower lip, lost in the fantasy of her first kiss,
until she realized he was waiting for her.
“Thanks,” she responded. Calm down, she told herself. Try to act normal before he
starts thinking of you as a freak.
Amber turned to pick her bags up off the floor, but her handsome escort had already
grabbed them.
“I’m Taye.”
“Hi, Taye. I’m Amberlyn.” She shook the waiting hand he managed to hold out
between her bags, forgetting about her gift and her promise to herself to avoid as much
physical contact as she possibly could.

CHARACTER BIO
 
In addition to showing off this breathe-taking new cover, I'd like to introduce you to the characters of Therian.
 
Each day this week you'll get to meet someone new, so be sure to drop by :)
 
....................................................

I’d like to introduce you to my last two characters.

They’ve been there for Amber from the very beginning, and although one can be a bit difficult, they love her dearly and only want what’s best for her.
Who am I talking about?


Carmine Darksky and Guiliana Bowman.
 
 
Carmine is Amber’s father. His fear of what others will think of her, should they discover her gift, has made him paranoid to the point of keeping her locked away from the world. He’s lived a long time, but never has he loved the way he loves Amber; the way he loved her mother, Lenora.
 
 
Raoul Bova reminds me so much of Carmine.
 
 
Guili is Amber’s confidant/friend/mother figure. She understands Amber’s need for freedom more than anyone can know, but she also knows why Carmine is so determined to keep his daughter caged. That doesn’t stop her from helping Amber though…
 
Jennifer Morrison would be great as Guili

 Being bad never looked this good…meet Lucard Colbaine.

Although Lucard seems like the bad guy, playing with Amber’s mind, wanting to drink her blood, killing humans…he’s not really that evil, I swear!!

When I was writing my first draft of THERIAN, the video for Rihanna’s Russian Roulette came on TV one day, and the tortured look on Jesse Williams’ face told me that this was my Lucard. I just love him.

Here's Tayelon's sister, Luna Cree!
 
Amber’s BFF, Luna is sweet and caring, and doesn’t take much nonsense from her brother, Tayelon (you’ll meet him later on), especially where Amber is concerned. Although she plays a part in the final moments of THERIAN, I have faith that her friendship with Amber will hold out.
 
The second I saw Tanaya Beatty I knew that she was my Luna!!

The Next Big Thing Blog Tour


Hello, Therians!!

I was so honored when the fabulous Emma Mills, author of the WitchBlood series, tagged me in The Next Big Thing Blog Tour.

'What is this tour all about?' I hear you ask.
Well it is an ever-increasing, worldwide tour of author interviews. So a HUGE thank you to Emma for thinking of me.




TNBT: What is the title of your book?
Therian. It is the first book in The Bloody Crescent trilogy.

TNBT: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
All Amberlyn Darksky wanted was to be normal, but what if normal was everything supernatural and legendary?

TNBT: Where did the idea come from for the book?
I’ve always been fascinated by vampires and werewolves. I loved the idea of taking these mythical creatures and adding my own spin to the legends. I was also intrigued by the idea of combining the two, forming a new hybrid creature. That’s when Amber was born, and the rest of the story took shape from there. It changed drastically from my first idea to the final product and I had immense fun crafting and re-crafting along the way. It’s amazing how once you breathe life into your characters, they take over and write the story for you.

TNBT: What genre does your book fall under?
Young Adult Paranormal Romance, although readers of all ages will enjoy it :)

TNBT: What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
Wow! This is a difficult question. I’ve never really thought of it, but I’d probably go for lessor known actors. I can say that when I was writing the story I had a huge crush on Chris Riggi and he was my inspiration for Tayelon Cree. I think Odette Yustman is beautiful and she’d be my ideal Amber Darksky.

TNBT: How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
The first draft took roughly 6 months to complete. A few months more and it was ready for submission.

TNBT: Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I was going through a really tough time in my personal life. I’d just had my heart broken and I guess I needed a way to vent my hurt and anger. It was actually very therapeutic.

TNBT: What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
My book combines romance, the supernatural and one girls battle to find herself, only to discover her true destiny. I think it has all the elements that work so well with this genre. There's no love triangle either! In fact, I believe the romantic element of my story is more a love square LOL.

Blog: http://roxykade.blogspot.com

And now onto the wonderful authors I've tagged for this event. Unfotunately almost every author I know has already joined this tour, but I'm excited to be tagging two fellow 48fourteen authors:

Enjoy!
Happy Reading!!

The Human Cure by Tracy Auerbach 
 
 
 
 Kate Plesser is leading a dead-end life as an office assistant with a penchant for bad relationships. She is lost. When Kate is kidnapped by Hunter, a gorgeous stranger, she assumes that he is just some sick psychopath. She never suspects that he is actually a vampire, and that she is about to be plunged into a world stranger than her wildest dreams. In the underground city where Hunter lives, she encounters his otherworldly cousin Chase, who holds the key to her freedom. She is thrust into a village where humans are farmed for feeding and breeding. In this mysterious new world beneath Queens, New York, Kate eventually finds something she never expected; her own purpose.


    Tourist by Lucas Bantner


     
    Imagine gravity was not simply a feature of an organic planet, but a complicated system maintained by a network of large machines. Imagine the Earth was supported by these machines, providing the energy and the subsystem for Earth to function as it does. What would happen as those machines aged? Would they begin to wear down over time? Would they eventually fail? Could they be repaired?

    Just before being arrested on suspicion of murder, a young man named Ian Sheridan discovers that he is able to call upon strange, destructive powers. As he is chased around the globe by the authorities, he takes asylum with a group of people, four hundred years old, that try to convince him his abilities are a result of the machines and their failing health. Ian soon realizes he is the only person who can repair these ailing machines and put the world right again… or can he? As he searches for the machines, he must overcome the demons of his past and the idea that he is simply a pawn in something much larger than himself.

     
     


     
    Change of Pace by Sofia Essen
     
     


     
     
    What do you do when you get dumped, fired, and turn thirty in a single unfortunate week? You book the last available ticket on the next plane to Greece. Or at least that’s what the normally unadventurous Anna Cox does in a moment of uncharacteristic spontaneity. When she panics as she belatedly realizes that not booking a hotel room in a country she knows nothing about might not have been the best or smartest idea, the charming and easy on the eyes Englishman in the seat next to her comes to her rescue – he takes her to the rural island village in Crete that he calls home.

    As Anna settles into village life, she learns that change, even the unwanted and unexpected kind, can be a good thing. She begins to see that there is always more to any story or person than meets the eye, including herself. In Crete, where time moves differently and days float and blend into one another, Anna finds the courage to discover who she really is, open up to strangers, and to fall in love without holding back even though she might get hurt.

    Dead Heart by R.L.King

     
     
     
    Would you give someone your own beating heart so they may live?
     
    That is the question Doctor Paul Vieyra will have to ask himself as his world comes crashing down around him, and the ghost of those who died on his operating table haunt his mind.
     
    When Dr. Vieyra sister’s heart begins to fail and her life fade away, a new heart or surgery are her only chances for survival—a chance no doctor is willing to take. Dr. Vieyra will risk everything he has and more for his sister. He will need the help of both old and new friends along with his mental ghosts if he is going to overcome the incredible obstacles that stand in his way.
     
    The clock is ticking. Will he be able to save his sister’s dead heart? What is he willing to risk?
