Your Dimension or Mine ? #6BestHop #fantasy #magic #metaphysical #romance

Hi Everyone :) I keep forgetting to sign up for bloghops. So I figured I'd try the Sundays' Six of the Best where authors post 6 paragraphs of their work.

This snippet is from the very beginning of Your Dimension or Mine?

~~~

“…and of course there is the effect on the economy…”

Sighing, Ari blinked her eyes and stared at the man seated directly across from her. He was still talking. And eating. From the moment they were seated at the private table for two in the neighborhood’s newest restaurant, Jay had been stuffing his face. Or talking. Sometimes he attempted multi-tasking and did them both at the same time. When that happened, Ari wanted to ask their waiter for a splatter guard but worried it would come across as rude.

“These damned politicians just don’t know anything,” he finished his newest rant, taking a big gulp of wine before letting out a belch.

If only Ma Nature would choose this moment to send a tsunami our way, she thought. Of course, the possibility of that happening was less than zero. The closest they got were flash floods in August. It was January.

“Have you noticed the price of gas?” Jay asked, munching on a breadstick as the waiter removed his salad plate and replaced it with a large bowl of soup. Without waiting for her to acknowledge his question, he launched into a diatribe about fixing prices and the state of pigs…or at least that was what she thought he said.

Letting her mind drift, Ari tried to remember why she accepted this date in the first place. Oh, that’s right—her sister Jane set it up without asking. Well, it wasn’t the first time. Ever since she entered college, Jane had taken it upon herself to introduce her little sister to men just like her husband Tony.

~~~

Your Dimension or Mine?

When Ari Reynolds signed up for an online dating service, she only did it to get her sister off her back about her dateless life. She never expected to be contacted by men from other dimensions or have a demon claim ownership of her through a magical DNA contract. Now that her eyes are open, she is catapulted to Dimension Zeta. There, a powerful Fae named Mayir trains her to defend herself against the mysterious Orion.


Even more confusing, she finds herself falling for Terrian, a man from an entirely different dimension. Terrian promises to help defend her, but when Orion steals something of great importance to her, she must stand alone against him. Can a mere human fight off the magical control of an immortal being who wants her more than anything?

Blurb:

A dying realm. 

The ancient evil of the Droch-Shúil has been unleashed. 

The Orchids have been silenced… but for how long? 

Daegan, elite of the Ferrishyn warrior tribe of Faeries, is charged with a mission to find the Sol-lumieth, a mysterious new power that could change the fate of all in the realm of Alandria. But he is conflicted by his purpose, and he cannot trust the motives of those he serves. He has too many questions and they must be answered. 

Kaeleigh, a girl abandoned as a small child just outside Missoula, Montana, is now 18. She is trying to discover who she is and where she belongs. In her heart, she feels she has family out there… somewhere. Desperate to unravel the mysteries of her past, she embarks on a journey that will forever change her along with her two best friends, Finn and Chel—who have secrets of their own.

Veiled Shadows (The Age of Alandria: Book 2)

Out Now!

Blurb:

Shadows linger where light is obstructed, and truth is veiled. 

Evil is an untreated disease in the once beautiful realm of Alandria. 

Kaeleigh is faced with a revelation that she must reconcile. She will decide if discovering the truth is worth the unknown consequences to both herself and her friends. 

Daegan, the Ferrishyn warrior, is conflicted by more than his loyalties, and is confronted with emotions he doesn’t know how to deal with. A choice must be made. A choice… that may cost him more than he ever wanted to give. 

The Droch-Shúil—enforcers and servants of the ancient darkness—continue to cast their shadow over Alandria seeking those who can be turned to their side. 

The magic of The Orchids is growing, but not everyone will survive what is to come. 

Veiled Shadows is the second installment in The Age of Alandria series: the story of the Sol-lumieth’s quest for freedom of self and the power to battle the evil of the Droch-Shúil.

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

"They're new," I explained, trying to forestall a fight while poking my head between their shoulders. "Heath and Vane…" I paused, not remembering if I had learned their last name.

"Rollins," Vane supplied in a crisp voice.

Looking at the two of them, Spence cast a glance over his shoulder and seeing his sports team watching, became even braver. "Well, since you're new, then I think we should give you the rules."

Oh, no. Male posturing at its worst.

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out in a few days! As Kaylee checks out her new high school with Vane & Heath, she runs into an unexpected snag.

~ ~ ~

"Yo! Kaylee!" yelled Spencer Daily, the guy I dated before Kyle. He looked at the two guys flanking me and frowned, standing up. "Who are these two?" At six feet tall, Spencer had wide shoulders and a linebacker build to make him a rather imposing figure. At least I used to think so. But when Heath and Vane stepped forward and partially in front of me, their combined visage made for an even more impressive image. Both were six feet two inches and while they had more of a swimmer's build, together they were much larger than Spence. Unfortunately Spencer was not only stupid, he was also backed up by his football buddies.

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. Kaylee's all ready for her afternoon with Heath. Or so she thinks.

~ ~ ~

Walking up to the door, I took a couple deep breaths before opening it, wanting to have a definite glare on my face. That faltered as I took in a face that looked similar to Heath's and yet wasn't. It had the same pale skin and soft pink lips, but instead of blonde hair, his was bright red and instead of dark gray eyes, his were blue. "I'm confused," I said, staring into the bright blue eyes in front of me.

Adding to my confusion the face smiled, a really nice non-smirky smile. "You must be Kaylee. I'm Vane. Heath's twin. Shall we go?"

Eureka! #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. (Just 18 days!) This snippet is a few paragraphs after last week's post.

~ ~ ~

My closet was now a total mess, but after three hours, I finally settled on the perfect outfit to wear around the jerk known as Heath. Who names their child Heath anyway? Was his mother eating a candy bar when he was born and thought, I can't think of anything else, might as well name him the first word I see, and then she looked down and saw the wrapper. Eureka! Good thing she wasn’t eating a bag of Zours. Or Skittles. Or… a Big Hunk. Giggling at the possibilities, I blanked out for a little while as I imagined all of the candy derivatives he could have been called. 

~ ~ ~

I forgot to sign up for last week, though I did do a post, when Kaylee met Heath for the first time.

Hollywood moment #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. Yay! You've gotten to know Kaylee's sense of humor. How about a jump ahead to her first impression of Heath?

~ ~ ~

My eyes fastened on Heath and the world stopped for a moment. Have you ever had one of those times when you meet someone and it's like a Hollywood moment? This was one of those moments, only not in a good way. Heath scared the living daylights out of me. Tall with pasty white skin and blonde hair the color of his mother's, he had pale pink lips that were formed in a smirk. But it was his eyes that bothered me. Dark gray, they were so dark they were practically black. Obviously I’d read far too many vampire and werewolf books because I briefly considered the possibility I could transport me and mom somewhere safe before he decided to attack.

Not quite what I was going for #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. This takes off directly from my last 8Sunday post.

~ ~ ~

Wait. Where was I?

Oh, right. Princess blanket. Ugh.

Bringing to mind a purple satin blanket with a golden dragon, I focused my mind – well, I tried – and five minutes later when I opened my eyes, I groaned as I spotted a pink and purple blanket with a princess being ripped apart by a dragon. Not quite what I was going for. But then, transporting myself here to there was much easier than actually doing something to an object.

Unfortunately, she must have decided while I was away at camp to turn my room into a princess paradise. Glaring at the offensive pink and white blanket, I took a moment to calm myself while closing my eyes. One thing I learned at camp was not to try and change things while angry. The consequences could be disastrous. Just ask my camp counselor. Err, never mind. Don't ask her. You wouldn't believe it anyway.

Another snippet from Tryad for #8sunday #YA #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello, Weekend Writing Warriors! I'm excited to be back with you today with another snippet from Tryad. This picks up from where my previous 8 left off.

* * *

Amused, I barely kept the smirk off my face as I turned and walked back into the house. Once I was pretty sure I was out of sight, I imagined myself in my bedroom and was there. So much easier than walking up three flights of stairs. Mom seemed to think I could levitate, which was kind of funny, when in fact, I could actually transport myself from one place to another using nothing more than the energy that surrounded me. Humming to myself, I went to lay down when I saw what blanket was on my bed. The growl that ripped through my throat might not be scary, but it was real enough to me. Mom had been lamenting that her little girl was growing up. At the age of sixteen, I would certainly hope so.

Magic is simple #8sunday

Hello, fellow Weekend Writing Warriors!

This week, I'm giving you another snippet from my new novel, Your Dimension Or Mine?

I'm actually continuing right from last week's snippet where Mayir demanded Ari make grass grow without telling her how. (Some punctuation changes were made to work within the 8 sentence rule.)

* * * * * *

“You have got to be kidding me!” she spat. “I know Abigail muttered nonsense words to get us here. Surely there are—”

“Enough wasting time,” he said in a firm voice. “Magic is simple, Arwen Reynolds. Think it, believe it, understand, let it happen, that is all you need. Now, I am busy. Do not bother me.”

Because you can #8Sunday

Hey, Weekend Writing Warriors. Hope you are having a fantastic weekend. I know I am :)

Your Dimension Or Mine? was released this last Monday as a pre-release and is available on Amazon. So what else would I share with you?

This week I am giving you a little snippet from about halfway through the novel. Ari has been transported to Dimension Zeta to be trained by Mayir in magic to get rid of a pesky demon who wants to control her for the rest of her life. The only problem? Mayir doesn't explain, he just expects.

* * * * * *

“You are to bring grass into life where there is none.”

After a few minutes of nothing, she asked, “And just how am I supposed to do that?”

“Magic.”

Rolling her eyes, she glared into the dirt. “Did Abigail not inform you I know nothing of magic?”

“That matters not. You will bring it to life because you can. When you have finished, you will come back.”

Ghosts of bad dates past #8sunday

Hey, weekend writing warriors! And readers ;)

Hope you have having a great weekend and that your shopping is already done so you can snicker at the last minute shoppers. (Not that I do that of course ;) )

This week, I'm giving you a snippet from the first chapter where Ari is on a horrible date, set up for her by her sister Jane. The woman has horrible taste and as Ari has nothing better to do, she starts remembering those past dates to get away from having to pay attention to the man seated across from her. Here are the first two she remembers.

******

Letting her mind drift, Ari tried to remember why she accepted this date in the first place. Oh, that’s right—her sister Jane set it up without asking. Well, it wasn’t the first time. Ever since she entered college, Jane had taken it upon herself to introduce her little sister to men just like her husband Tony.

First, Jane set her up with Sebastian. The main thing Ari remembered about him was he looked like Rambo and giggled like a girl when someone passed gas. Then there was Erin, though he went by Igor. He had an unnatural obsession with Frankenstein even going so far as to take upon himself the appearance of a prometheus—neckbolts and all—to prove whatever point he was trying to make.

Unofficial blurb:

When Ari Reynolds signed up for an online dating service, she only did it to get her sister off her back about her dateless life. She did not expect to be contacted by men from other dimensions, find out that she herself did not belong in her own dimension and have a demon claim ownership of her through a magical DNA contract she did not even know existed. Now that her eyes have been opened, she is catapulted to Dimension Zeta to be trained by a magically powerful Fae named Mayir in defending herself against Orion from one of the demon realms. As if things could not get any more confusing, she finds herself falling for a man from an entirely different dimension - one who promises to help defend her. But when Orion steals something of great importance to her, she must stand alone against him. Can one mere human truly fight off the magical control of an immortal being who wants her more than he has wanted anyone else?

An even worse thought hit her #8sunday

Just thought I would give you an update...and little excerpt for Your Dimension Or Mine? - which will be coming out in 2014 - for Weekend Writing Warriors.

First the excerpt...Ari should be thinking about the evil Orion who is after her, but she can't keep her mind off Terrian, someone she 'met' online, who has turned out to be from a different dimension, and who she is about to meet.

******

What if he actually had three eyes and his nose was on his chin? Well, no, she had seen his picture. Then an even worse thought hit her.

What if the rest of him wasn’t like other human males? If he didn’t have a…

Moaning at that horrible thought, she turned over and glared at the wall. “Seriously,” she grumbled aloud to herself. “There is an evil demon who wants me to be his and is coming after me, and the thing I am worried about is if Terrian has all the right equipment?”

Edits are done and it has now been sent onto The Wild Rose Press's Production team to do their magic and make it available in both print and e-formats.
