How Far would you go to protect the people you love?
Seventeen-year old Emma wants what every teenage girl wants: good friends, good grades, and a good looking boyfriend who only has eyes for her. Little does she know that in order to get one, she must sacrifice the other two.
When Luke, Emma’s apparently devoted boyfriend, sets in motion a series of events, Emma finds herself in the middle of an ancient war strategically taking out anyone who gets close to her. Emma seeks refuge in a small coastal town and is introduced to Solomon, a mysterious Native American warrior. Unsure of who exactly are the good guys, Emma is hesitant to trust anyone. But when her feelings for Solomon begin to grow, Emma has difficulty remembering loving her may come at a high price. Now she must decide: can she trust Solomon with her heart? And just how far will she go to protect it?
He leaned toward me, his tone stern. “You have to live the life you have been given. You did not cause nor deserve what has happened. Don’t force yourself to shut people out before you give them a chance. I’m stronger than you think.” His voice hovered over me. “You can trust me. I’ll never hurt you. And I’m not asking to be your friend. You have no choice in my involvement. Accept my help or not, I’m here to stay.”
My eyes were drawn to his. The pull toward him was overwhelming. I was losing my resolve.
“Why are you afraid of me?” His words turned soft and I wondered if I had heard them at all. “When I come…why are you afraid?”
“I don’t know who to believe.” I sighed. “My mind is being told too many things. I don’t know what I am. What you are. I am afraid for you. I don’t want to be responsible for another life.”
He took my hand and rubbed it against his cheek. So soft, I thought. No stubble. Flashes of Luke’s rough skin against my cheek when he’d finally kissed me slithered through my thoughts. My breath caught. I closed my eyes, trying to regain my own thoughts, to push the hard kiss from my mind. Luke’s words echoed through me. I was your first kiss.
Solomon leaned forward and touched his lips to my cheek, lingering briefly before moving away.
Top Ten tips for Writers
1. Write because you
love to write not because you want fame and fortune. If that is what inspires you then quit now.
2. Write characters you love. If you love the people you are writing so
will your readers
3. Be humble. People who read your books admire you and
want to meet you and should be treated with great appreciation.
4. Develop your world
separate from your actual book. What I
mean by this is I think it is helpful to get your setting developed separate
from the book. To know in your head the
ins and outs of the world aside from what is going on with the characters. That way you can make sure your readers
understand how the setting motivates or drives the story more because it isn't
just inside your head it has been laid out on paper as well. I think this is especially important in
fantasy or altered settings, maybe not so much for contemporary.
5. Research your
characters and setting. For example if
your character is a farmer and you aren't up on farmer....get up on
farming. If your book takes place in
Africa, make sure you know about Africa.
I find it extremely annoying to read a book that takes place in a
community I know and the landmarks are off.
I think Twilight fans found that out when they went to Forks and it was
nothing like the book. Same with
characters. My dad was a fireman and I
hate reading books where I know the information is incorrect. Know your stuff.
6. Let your
characters talk to you. let them tell
their story. If you do this you will
very rarely have writers block
7. Get out of the
house. Don't be a hermit. Designate writing time but go out and be a
human as well
8. Find good people
to read your work for you and hook up with other writers. There are a lot of great writing communities
out there
9. Don't be defensive
about your writing. Listen to critiques
and use them to become a better writer
10. Never! Never! be
cruel or negative to fellow writers. We
are a small community and need to support each other

I love all things outdoors and can be found hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, or doing anything that will work up a good sweat. I love to interact with my readers and meet them at signings.
