Huh, judging by that description, they have nothing in common at all, except a few name drops of cities and other place, so you definitely do not need to read Something Wicked first. </span></p><div><br />So, ready for mages, pirates, and magical battles between good and evil? </div><div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><img data-cke-saved-src="https://mcusercontent.com/f69fc08afdcffb13ce6808cf0/_compresseds/4a306b7d-19f2-447e-0c39-59500dfc348a.jpg" data-file-id="7197768" height="250" src="https://mcusercontent.com/f69fc08afdcffb13ce6808cf0/_compresseds/4a306b7d-19f2-447e-0c39-59500dfc348a.jpg" style="height: 250px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 175px; width: 166px;" width="166" /></div><br /></div><div>A long-ago meeting sets fate into motion…<br /><br />As captain of the city guards, Martin protects E'Skaara by day. At night, he creeps in shadows to defend the citizens from predators most cannot see. He's escaped from his past as a mage-born lad who'd nearly destroyed a village in self-defense. The three things he can't so easily elude? Rage at a deity who condemns mages to death, memories of a pirate who saved him, and the magic he must conceal.<br /><br />Tavernkeeper Peter keeps secrets. Secrets that can get him killed: his desire for men, a pirate past, and magical abilities. He should run from the one place mages cannot be safe, but yearning for a lost love binds him to where they shared their last kiss, waiting for one more glimpse of a dear face.<br /><br />When dark forces reunite them, the magic both men try so hard to hide might just be their salvation. </div><div>Mage Bond is now available for preorder on <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61165930-mage-bond" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61165930-mage-bond" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, releasing July 16. <br /><br />The very talented Jacqueline Sweet created the cover.

The latest comedic venture is a spin on a fairy tale, called The Prince's Frog. I've actually been working on this story for a few years, picking it up and setting it down over and over. </p><p>Part of the issue was that the manuscript still contained comments from my dear friend and crit partner, PD Singer, who passed in 2020. I miss her terribly. </p><p>Open manuscript, read comments, close manuscript, cry. Come back three months later and try again. In the back of my mind, I could clearly imagine what she'd say if I gave up a project, so I pushed through. She was my greatest supporter and thought this would be a fun story. </p><p>Pam, I hope I've done you proud. So this story is special to me, as it's the last one I collaborated on with her. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR71ZtXGeRnzZZqSGwQy7hNGGuSM5vffYhPse7SNQbDAfA85vV-fQZEmZwfMrVvSKbdODgMAZuR43umpiBwcnIpxyxaKt0-pf0WgtYYiw8BGYHuRwEZMA6OjbeW5jbtwEey18LI1jYHipMr3PDW9gevMsATMm7wm2uPVUdLGRPmiw8o9Q7RKeycwcUaQ/s1080/TPF%20Preorder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR71ZtXGeRnzZZqSGwQy7hNGGuSM5vffYhPse7SNQbDAfA85vV-fQZEmZwfMrVvSKbdODgMAZuR43umpiBwcnIpxyxaKt0-pf0WgtYYiw8BGYHuRwEZMA6OjbeW5jbtwEey18LI1jYHipMr3PDW9gevMsATMm7wm2uPVUdLGRPmiw8o9Q7RKeycwcUaQ/s320/TPF%20Preorder.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">His Royal Highness Prince Rocky Jude Maxwell Bill Robert Chuck—let’s just call him Bob, shall we?—has a problem.

Something Wicked<p> Only I could launch a new book and forget to post on my blog. Sorry, folks. </p><p>Something Wicked is now available on Amazon and on KU. This started with a premade cover by the super talented Charmaine Ross, and the idea continued from there. I mean, have you SEEN the guy on the cover? Wow!</p><p>Oh, and I had a wonderful time creating a snarky cat/spider/snake/raven/dragon/motorcycle familiar named Chynne.</p><p><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;">A mysterious legacy.

All he wants from his mundane life is a better apartment and fewer working hours serving drinks at a club in Asheville, North Carolina. Sure, weirdness happens around him occasionally. Coincidences, right? He can’t possibly wish things into existence. After all, he’s only human.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;">Maybe.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;">It’s hard living down to a nickname like Wicked, but Prince Wycke Bertillian of the magical realm tries. He enjoys his lack of responsibilities until he’s coerced into a clandestine mission: find an evil sorceress’s hidden son in the human realm.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span face=""Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-size: 14px;">A chance encounter awakens magical potential beyond what either realm has seen before.

It's currently available for preorder, releasing April 23. Talking cats anyone?</p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A mysterious legacy. A magical journey. The worst guide in history!</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Piers Adams never knew his parents or birthplace. All he wants from his mundane life is a better apartment and fewer working hours serving drinks at a club in Asheville, North Carolina. Sure, weirdness happens around him occasionally. Coincidences, right? He can’t possibly wish things into existence. After all, he’s only human.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Maybe.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It’s hard living down to a nickname like Wicked, but Prince Wycke Bertillian of the magical realm tries. He enjoys his lack of responsibilities until he’s coerced into a clandestine mission: find an evil sorceress’s hidden son in the human realm.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A chance encounter awakens magical potential beyond what either realm has seen before. Barely managing his own life doesn’t qualify Wycke to guide a novice sorcerer with infinite magic and zero self-preservation skills. Unfortunately, it’s Wycke or nothing standing between Piers and those who’d take Piers’ magic for themselves—magic powerful enough to rule two realms.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f1111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Piers and Wycke had better get their act together.

This one took me back to my own biker years, and a fondly remembered 1977 Harley Davidson Superglide. Some of the areas mentioned in the story are from my memory or are a conglomeration of memories. The names of Slade's friends are a homage to folks I used to ride with. </p><p>Noah's first cabin was based on an old friend's A-frame.

Most of the babies did fine with their mothers, but we had a tragedy too. </p><p>One poor goat gave birth to four tiny babies. We thought they were all dead until one moved. We brought him into the house, cleaned him, wrapped him, then tried to get milk from the mama for his feeding, as he was too weak to stand and nurse. </p><p>That's when we found the problem. Mama goat was sick, so we wound up caring for her, and keeping the baby in the house since there was no way she could tend him. He woke me up the first few nights for feeding, but then we got into a routine. He's now a week old, and I think it's safe to say he's out of the woods. He's still tiny, much smaller than the goatlings born after him, but he's sassy and healthy and bouncing everywhere, as kids are bound to do. </p><p>I've posted a few videos on my Facebook page of the cute things he does. We named him Squeaker for the little noises he makes. </p><p>Goats aren't solitary creatures, so I occasionally bring in another kid for play dates and watch them bounce, headbutt each other, and try to climb anything in sight. </p><p>I know one day he'll be old enough to join the herd, but for now? He's my little house goat. </p><p>I think everybody needs one. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QGD2N3c6-VU/YBQNilkwfOI/AAAAAAAAEPM/fBHOhpP63SE1kYnJCNs_wAxWoLaMuVJXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1132/Squeaker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1132" data-original-width="843" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QGD2N3c6-VU/YBQNilkwfOI/AAAAAAAAEPM/fBHOhpP63SE1kYnJCNs_wAxWoLaMuVJXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Squeaker.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Eden Wintershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02325723874232660290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343625925902939495.post-18446186772949533912021-01-15T07:13:00.001-08:002021-01-15T07:13:07.531-08:00Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> It's been a wonderful few years with Bo and Lucky, but it's time to end their story and say goodbye.

It's been ten years since I first started writing the series, and now it's time to wrap up the loose ends. </p><p>Benediction (Diversion 9) is now availabe for pre-order at Amazon.

I hadn't realized how much time had gotten away from me. </p><p>Today's post isn't about my latest book, review, or writing. No, today I pay tribute to someone very dear to me, fellow author P.D. Singer. </p><p>Pam and I met on a fanfiction site around 2005, struck up a friendship, and online friends became "visit you at your house" friends. We goaded each other into writing our first books, and held each other's hands through waiting for responses from publishers, revamping rejected books, and celebrating the good times. I've not published a single story that didn't get her seal of approval, and I did the same for her. She was my writing partner, my friend, and my sister of the heart. </p><p>We saw each other at conventions, author events, and just because we wanted too. Four years ago she acted as an attendant at my wedding. </p><p>We didn't know anything was wrong until mid-August, when she experienced a seizure. Several days and many tests later it was discovered that she had stage four metastatic breast cancer. </p><p>I was able to visit with her before she passed. We shared stories of our times together, chatted about writing, and agreed we'd have more adventures one day..I held her hand as I had many times before, and just tried to be there for her. </p><p>She lost her battle with the formidible enemy on October 1, two days after I returned home. </p><p>People handle strong emotion many ways. I release my feelings with words, in particular, peotry. The stronger the emotion, the more the words pour our of me. This poem wrote itself in four minutes, the day I purchased my plane ticket to visit her one last time. </p><p style="text-align: center;">The Road</p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none; background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><p style="height: 0px;"></p><div style="text-align: center;">I set my foot upon a road</div><div style="text-align: center;">Which should have been a thrill</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dreading every step I took</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sun couldn’t chase the chill</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">At journey’s end I knew I’d find</div><div style="text-align: center;">Someone I loved so dear</div><div style="text-align: center;">To hold their hand and ease their mind</div><div style="text-align: center;">While blinking back my tears</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When you meet someone for the first time</div><div style="text-align: center;">You don’t know what will come</div><div style="text-align: center;">You might smile and nod and walk away</div><div style="text-align: center;">Or family they’ll become</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You anticipate the happy days</div><div style="text-align: center;">Together brave the bad</div><div style="text-align: center;">And in the end look back and smile</div><div style="text-align: center;">For the good times that you’ve had</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You never thought you’d say goodbye</div><div style="text-align: center;">The road would end like this</div><div style="text-align: center;">With stinging eyes and breaking heart</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you give them one last kiss</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>For those of you who are fans of PD's Mountain series, she left me with three more Kurt and Jake stories to publish. <p></p><p style="height: 0px;"><br />Rest in peace, my friend. <br />x</p></div>Eden Wintershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02325723874232660290noreply@blogger.com2
