Excerpt:

I was the saddest girl to ever hold a martini. A walking Sex and the City episode. Minus the sex.

I wished Renee was here. If she wasn't home for a funeral, I would've called her for a long distance cheer-up, but it wasn't the most appropriate time. So instead, I resorted to sitting barefoot on the living room floor, still wearing Renee's gold dress, crying into a martini glass.

Pathetic, really.

I'm not sure what set it off, because I shouldn't have been this upset. It wasn't like I'd invested much time or energy into my relationship with Vincent. I think this was just the last straw. The end result of the bad date build-up. I finally thought I'd found someone who was different, and he turned out to be worse than all of them.

At first, it was quite comical. I chuckled to myself in the cab, wondering how long he'd wait at the table, how stupid he'd feel when our waitress realized he'd been ditched. I skipped into my kitchen, made myself a dirty martini, then sat down on my living room floor and drank.

And somewhere around the second martini, the humor faded.

First, I thought about my parents, and the dreaded question that presented itself every time they called. "So, are you seeing anyone special?" It was the first thing they always asked. Well, technically the third, aside from the traditional "How are you?" and "How's L.A.?" But the first two were just a buffer to get to the third question, the one they really wanted to ask.

Even worse was their discouraged "oh" after I told them no. I could hear the disappointment echoing from three thousand miles away. And forget about family parties. My mom would attempt to cover up my patheticness by telling my nosy relatives that I was "kissing a lot of frogs" when they asked about my dating life.

You can only kiss so many frogs before your parents start to think you're a lesbian.

The sound at the door made me spill the remains of my drink onto the floor. I knew Vincent had my address, but I didn't actually think he'd show up here. I was quiet for a minute, hoping he'd go away, but then I watched in horror as the knob turned and the door swung open.

I could have sworn I had locked it behind me when I came in. No, I definitely had. But then how…

"Justine?"

I looked up and locked eyes with David. David in all his six-foot-tall gorgeousness, standing above me with a look of bewilderment on his face.

I could only imagine what I looked like.

  “Listen, kid, I don’t care what you believe in. It’s not for me to say what’s true and untrue, real or unreal. My assignment was you. You get to be one of us, if you want it. Otherwise, you move on, life is over, kaput.”

Ophelia backed away from the stranger. For the first time, she realized she didn’t feel cold and wasn’t shivering. Is this what being dead was like? “One of you?”

“A grim reaper.” He held out his hand to properly introduce himself. “Edon Montgomery, head reaper and old soul.”

Author Interview

Do you have any plans to write a spin-off for Aberrant?

Yes! I am currently working on an untitled project that is a prequel, spin-off. I haven't spoken much about it, but I will say there is plenty of action and a world to explore that we've barely touched in the Aberrant trilogy.

What are you currently working on?

I've got several writing projects underway. Forget Me Knot (Royal Reaper 2) is in edits right now with an expected Spring 2015 release. I'm also writing steamy adult fiction under the name Ravyn Rayne, which will be available this year as well. You can find those projects on Ravyn Rayne Reads.

Do you have a full-time job?

Writing and marketing my own novels is my full-time job. It involves far more than 40 hours a week, but I love it, so I don't mind.

Blog Tour: Insanely Drawn By Dani Morgan @DaniMorgan71 @GHBTours #Giveaway

Insanely Drawn
By- Dani Morgan
Genre- Paranormal Romance

Your first job out of college. It’s supposed to be a stepping stone or a transitional job, not the single defining decision that will alter the course of your entire life. Sienna Kennedy never signed on for the craziness, danger and even love that her new job thrust into her world.

But she didn’t run either.

Assigned to a maximum security floor of Western State Hospital for the mentally ill, the last thing she expected to encounter was a reminder of her past.

Cade Collins’ animal magnetism draws her into an unseen world filled with creatures from her wildest imagination. Discovering his story, as well as the very institution in which she works, becomes her obsession. Her every waking moment is consumed with unearthing a way to free the man that has stolen her heart, body and mind.

The secrets Sienna finds will free them of their bonds…or lead them to their doom. Fate flung the two destined souls together, but how can any love survive in such a demented place, filled with peril and danger?

 

Dream Cast-

If ‘Insanely Drawn’ was made into a movie and you could cast anyone you wanted- who would you choose?

Cade Collins would be Steven Strait (love him in the Covenant) and Sienna Kennedy would be Mila Kunis.

About the Author-

I was always the girl who spent most of her life living in her head, even at an early age. My made up worlds were so much more interesting than real life. In them, anything was possible. I could be a reckless archaeologist digging up a mummy who came to life, terrorize a medieval village by drinking all their blood, start an intergalactic war between rival planets, or ride a wild stallion with a hunky Native brave clad only in a breech cloth, all within the course of a weekend.

Life didn't stay simple. I had to grow up, get a job, became a wife and mother and put all my dreams on hold. After a change in my life, I found myself a single mom who had plenty of time to fall back into the land of make believe.

One night I opened up my computer and soon several novels were penned. Now I have embarked on a journey to become the person I always envisioned myself to be, an author, sharing my crazy ideas with the world.

Life Blood

By H.K. Savage

Genre- YA/Paranormal Romantic Suspense

What if we knew how to live forever? Is any cost too great?

Ava Brandt has been plagued with indecision her entire life; her direction influenced by the people around her, not her heart. When a chance encounter with a stranger challenges everything she thought she remembered from her frightening past, she must confront hidden memories to survive.

Ben Pearson, descendant of a famous physician, is living proof of his ancestor's miraculous discovery two hundred years ago. Through a combination of blood transfusions from unsuspecting donors, he uncovered his own fountain of youth. As an unwilling convert, Ben continues to fight for those who are dying; their murderers content to kill innocents to prolong their own lives, no matter the human cost.

Finally accepting the truth of her past and the dreams that have plagued her, Ava comes face to face with her fears. But just as she comes to terms with this new reality and new feelings for her ageless rescuer, she finds herself in the middle of a battle that has raged and claimed untold young lives for centuries.

SUPPORT THE IFLIST

   

Excerpt:

Ben was heatedly discussing the chemical makeup of whatever was in the syringe. Ava, who didn’t understand most of it, was tired. She hadn’t slept all night and was having trouble keeping her eyes open.

She heard Ben growling out more orders. “Get every one of them in for

a full evaluation in the next twenty-four hours. Destroy every vial that woman touched.” He snapped his phone shut.

“What’s going on Ben?” she mumbled sleepily.

He was working hard not to explode. “That woman,” he spat the word,

“put trace amounts of neurotoxins in our samples after they were cleared for test subjects. Do you know the kind of pain they’ve gone through just so she could sabotage our research? She had another dose of the toxin in that syringe meant for you.”

That kind of cruelty was something Ava couldn’t comprehend. It was

such a waste of what had been a great mind. Now she was dead because of her vanity and greed.

Ava drifted off, dreaming of needles and bodies on fire.

Excerpt:

I followed him past the sweat lodge, which smelled like leather and freshly dug earth, with a large fire pit about twenty feet from the entrance. Delsin told me to not walk across it, but rather around the pit, and I obliged. Obviously. I wasn't interested in ruining his ancient customs or anything.

I followed him as we wove through some trees and down a small hill. I could hear the water before I saw it, and Delsin kept looking back at me, each glance reassuring me.

When we got to the edge of the water, I realized it was a lot more than a creek.

"This is like, way cooler than a stream. This is gorgeous," I said to him, standing by his side. His arms were crossed and he looked at me again, not looking at the scene before us.

There was a creek, but it was fifteen feet wide and flowed to a drop, where a waterfall cascaded over the rocky edge, falling into a large pool of crystal clear water. It narrowed into a creek again past the pool, falling behind the trees, leading away form this small oasis. Standing at the top looking over, I saw how remote our location was. Trees were everywhere, yet here we were nestled into a secret place.

"Do you come here a lot?" I asked.

"Yeah. After a sweat I come to this water, to jump in and cool off."

"You jump off the water fall?" I ask, looking at the twenty-foot jump.

"I do."

We stood there silently. It felt like a moment I should remember. Like the precipice to something that I didn't understand. My stomach full of expectation, for what I didn't know, but it filled me up. I was whole.

I didn't want to ruin the moment by talking. I was scared if I spoke I would lose something.

Myself or Delsin or Ollie or everything.

"Are you crying?" Delsin asked.

I brushed away the tears on my face, not even knowing why they were there.

"Did I say something, or do something?" he asked, confused.

"No, no. Of course not," I assured him. "I don't know why I'm crying."

"You are a very serious girl?"

"Not serious. Sorry. I haven't felt like myself lately. Sorry."

"Don't say sorry for your tears."

"I feel stupid, crying in front of a guy I just met. You probably think I'm a hot mess."

"Tears are the way you let go of something. Like the sweat lodge. It's a release."

I laughed. Out of nervousness. I stood there feeling stupid. Vulnerable like and I didn't know why. Delsin wasn't like Ollie. Ollie knew me before I became a disaster, but Delsin was meeting me now as a girl crying over a waterfall. I didn't want him to judge me.

"We should jump," he said.

"Are you crazy? No way."

"Yes. Take my hand. Jump with me. After the sweat, you have to jump and you just cried, so it's close enough."

"I don't do things like this."

"Like what?" he asked, pulling off his T-shirt, revealing a six-pack and smooth skin and perfection.

"Um." I was caught off guard by his chest. "I don't do things like jump off cliffs."

"You mean you don't do things like living?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and tossing his flip-flops to the side.

He stretched out his hand and I wanted to take it. So badly.

So I did.

I kicked off my shoes and threw my sunglasses on top of the hoodie that I let drop to the ground. I shimmied out of my cut-offs and kept on my tank top and I took his hand.

And we jumped.
