Formats Available: eBook, paperback ~318 pages
Genre: Adult Fantasy

Synopsis:

He leans down, lips parted, and then our lips connect……….We didn’t know that this one kiss has FOREVER changed the Land of the Fae.

            According to the Prophecy proclaimed many years ago, Princess Calista of the Summer Court is destined to change the Land of the Fae from the evil determined to destroy it.  Her powers are phenomenal, and she secretly trains for battle with her handsome warrior friend, Merrick, who unbeknownst to her protects her heart as well, in hopes of keeping it for himself.  At least, until the seductive Prince Ryder attends the Guardian Ceremony and instantly sends a fire burning through her veins and a connection so deep they both discover a love above anything imaginable.

            No one knows how Calista is destined to change the kingdoms, but there is one that does.  He not only craves Calista’s power, but her body as well, and his goal is to steal her power, make her his Dark Queen, and take over the Land of the Fae. 

            Will the evil succeed in claiming Calista’s soul?  Or will the two men that fight for her heart save her from despair, and help her fulfill her destiny to become what she was meant to be.  

Excerpt:

  “Ryder, I don’t know how or why it is happening so fast, but my heart does feel like it belongs to you, and when I saw you tonight, I felt it.  The connection is there, and I see it now, but what if it isn’t real?”  I pull away from him to walk closer to the crystal blue water of the lake. 

He looks at me bewildered.  “Why wouldn’t it be real?  It feels real to me,” he says while making his way towards me.  He’s coming closer and all I want to do is run into his arms and feel his body surround mine.  That is what my body is telling me, but how do I find out if that’s what my heart truly feels. 

I shrug and say flatly, “I just think we might feel this way because of the Prophecy.”  He wraps me in his arms again and tilts my chin up so my eyes settle on his.  His eyes look worried and the frown marring his face clearly shows the tension in the lines around his features. 

Ryder shakes his head and lets out an exasperated breath, “Why are you trying to fight this, Calista?  Whatever we feel is between me and you.  No Prophecy or any amount of magic is going to change the way I feel in my heart.”  He cups my face with both hands and brings his face closer to mine to where our foreheads are tenderly touching.  He breathes lightly against my face and whispers softly, “My heart tells me this is real, and if we can’t believe in our own hearts, then what can we believe in?”

About the Author:
I am an avid reader that loves my collection of books. Writing has always been a passion of mine and now I am glad I get to share my passion with the world. I live in North Carolina with my husband and two beautiful girls.  I absolutely love being a southern girl. I spent several years in college starting out with a major in Psychology and then switching to dental. I worked in the dental field for eight years and then decided to stay home with my two beautiful girls. I spent the beginning of my reading years reading suspense thrillers, but now I can't get away from the paranormal/fantasy books. I knew ever since then that if I wrote anything it would be in a paranormal aspect. Now that I have started on my passion and began writing, you will not see me go anywhere without a notebook and pen.

Tell Me Something Tuesday #37

It is that time of week again! You guessed it -Tell Me Something Tuesday; a weekly meme hosted by the fabulous author of the Heven and Hell series, Cambria Hebert. If you would like to participate, visit her blog and grab next week's question and add your link. This week's question:

How long is too long between book releases?

I hate it when I finish a book only to have to wait a year until the next book is set to release. There is nothing worse than being left with a huge cliff-hanger and being made to wait and wait and wait... So realistically, I would have to say no more than 6 months between books. However, I do know that this rarely - if ever - happens. Because of this, I have started to not read books that are beginnings of a series because I hate to wait for the next book. For example, the Nightshade books by Andrea Cremer: I would love to read this series, but I will wait until they are all out before I start the series. I didn't read the Hunger Games trilogy until each book was out, too. I kept hearing from my literary friends that it was such a good book and how much they loved Katniss, but I decided to wait. I am so glad I did! If I had to go years between each book I would have pulled my hair out! I read all three books in two days (during the Super Bowl even) and couldn't put my Nook down. 

I do have some exceptions. I will wait for a few series. The first is the House of Night series. I love these books and reread the series each and every time a new book is released. They come out once a year, but there are now novellas that have broken up the yearly wait a little. I have my mom reading this series and she asks me constantly if the next book has come out yet, lol! The other series I will wait for is the Morganville Vampires series. There is a special place in my heart for these books and even though I wish they would come out quicker, I will wait for them. The Harry Potter books were like this for me also. I hated that they would take so long to be released in between books, but at least we had the movies to tide us over.  

Sometimes there are books that I love, but I just forget about until I see them on the shelves. If I stalked each and every book that I loved, I would have no time for anything else! Indies seem to come out more frequently than traditional books. I know there is so much done to make a book profitable, but do they really need to take so long, even if the books have already been written? I think that this is done purposefully in some cases to build up the book and then release it for maximum earning potential. 

The Breakdown: Six months or less between releases. If there are goodies, such as novellas, released between books, then a longer waiting period would be okay.

What do you think? How long is too long to wait for a book to be released??
