Sometimes, when I journey back to Gainesboro with the Garrett clan I think it's purely for selfish reasons. I love these characters so much, they feel like they're family. I miss Gram's kookiness, Kendall's sweet innocence, Celeste's sarcasm, Gabe's protectiveness, and pretty much everything about Caleb and Rowan. (Hubba, hubba--am I right?!)<br />
<br />
But then I remember that I was done with this series, had wrapped it up in a pretty little bow to store away in my mind, when THE READERS poked and prodded me into continue the adventures of this lovable group of misfits. Could it be that you all love them as much as I do? I truly hope so, because the next installment of their adventures is HERE!!<br />

I would live at the theme parks if such a thing was feasible. Regularly, I scheme and plot in search of ways to make it so. (Come to find out, I can't pass as a member of The Country Bear Jamboree.) As of yet, all efforts to become a permanent fixture in the parks have failed miserably. But my research continues. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Usually, my family and I return from Walt Disney World vacations with loads of memories, giddy smiles, tired feet, and skinnier wallets. This time, I came back inspired by a simple moment potent enough to steal the breath from my lungs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Disney day started simple enough, with my troop of lovable weirdos marching straight to Space Mountain where my youngest daughter would ride it for the very first time. Waiting our turn, she was a bundle of nerves. The seconds ticking by before we could board, she wanted to know <i>exactly</i> what to expect. Would it be dark? Would anything jump out at her? Did the ride go upside down? Was there an emergency exit in case she changed her mind? Like many of us, she felt if she knew every detail she could better prepare herself for what was coming. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the moment came for us to climb into our car, she turned to me with wide, frightened eyes. "Mommy, will you hold my hand?" </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With a reassuring smile, I laced my fingers with hers. "Absolutely, baby girl. And I promise not to let go." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you haven't been on the ride, it's single-seating in small train cars. To keep my word, I sat behind her with my hand on her shoulder. Her tiny fingers gave mine a tight squeeze the moment the car gave its first lurch forward. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We were off! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Up hills, zooming around corners, streaking through the darkness: all the while my husband and I hooted and hollered to put our nervous little one at ease, and show her we were having fun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not even a quarter of the way through the ride, something amazing happened. Those little fingers released mine. My baby girl threw her arms in the air and whooped it up as we hurled down yet another hill. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Instantly, my eyes filled with tears. (Side note: I cry when I'm happy, sad, stressed, relieved, laughing, or ... in this case ... overwhelmed with pride.) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The second the ride stopped, my girl screamed at the top of her lungs, "THAT WAS AMAZING!" </div>
<div>
She hadn't known what to expect, yet was happily bowled away by the outcome. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This got me thinking about the journey all authors, and the daring few that decide to chase their dreams, embark on. As we plug along, we're terrified of <i>so</i> many elements that can oppress us with negativity if we let them; sales rankings, bad reviews, rejections letters, the list goes on and on. Through the advice, tips, and experiences of other authors we try to formulate a map of what we can expect along this journey. But, like my daughter's experience, no one could describe for her <i>exactly</i> what it would be like. That discovery had to be hers alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We could fear what lies ahead, gnawing our nails down to nubs that we may not "have what it takes."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We could hunt for that emergency exit because the pressure is just too much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or, we can consider ourselves blessed to be doing what we love, throw our hands in the air, and enjoy the ride. The trek may not look the way we imagined, there could be a few stomach-churning lurches along the way. But in the end, when our car hisses to a stop, we may find that those high-hills along the way were more amazing than we ever could have imagined. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In interviews, I am asked all the time what advice I have for authors just starting out. Now, instead of practiced responses, I have one from the heart. If this is your passion--if this is truly what you want--buckle in, work hard, and enjoy the ride. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As for me? My hands are in the air, and I'm barreling into the future ... wherever it may lead. </div>

<span id="freeText3109126060634747123">Saint Valentine is not the saint he would have everyone believe him to be. In his madness he cursed three bloodlines: the Vampire, the Servant, and the Mate. What he had not considered was their free will. Once his creation discovered his many lies, they killed him on February 14th, a day they celebrate still. </span></div>

River Sinclair has been given the power, in addition to the responsibility, to lead, care for, and control the Vampires; however, his Mate is the only entity that can complete him. River, among other Vampires, is destined to mate with a cursed bloodline that has eluded the Vampires for virtually fifteen centuries. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">When General Arbuckle reveals the peculiar existence to the world, the Academy of Peculiars is forced to close as a way to protect the faculty and students. Sophie Harper is more focused on the fact that her best friend, Jane, may actually be alive than Arbuckle and the United States military. Daryl's older and mental brother, Marvin, is quick to promise Jane's safe return after brokering a deal with Daryl and Ethan, the academy's dean. But something doesn't sit well with Sophie about Marvin, and if Jane wasn't involved, she's certain Daryl wouldn't have trusted his brother. On top of that, a familiar body winds up slaughtered at the academy gates. Now it's up to Sophie to figure out who could have done it and why, while dodging flying bullets and suspicious ex-boyfriends. Will wants nothing more to protect her; Sophie wants nothing more than find her friend - and herself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I'm a typical blonde Orange County suburbanite who says 'like' more than necessary, laughs loud and probably obnoxiously, and loves to dance in the rain. I'm a 26 year old college graduate with more than a few tricks up my sleeve, and I also happen to be a pretty big Ducks fan. Oh, and I'm a writer. Like, for real.
I recently signed with Anchor Group Publishing, which will see two of my series being published this year. I've self-published over 15 books, with more on the way, so I'm familiar with both a hybrid-traditional publishing method as well as self-publishing.
I don't speak in third person (normally) nor do I wear glasses (except when I'm feeling particularly mischievous). I'm lucky to have found my soul mate at the ripe old age of 22, even though he frustrates me on purpose to get a reaction out of me. We live near Disneyland, have two rambunctious female puppies, and have a beautiful baby girl. He has two amazing boys, and has gotten me hooked on Smallville, watching soccer (okay, okay FOOTBALL - FC Barcelona, baby!), and Cancun Juice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Happily ever after evades me, yet I long to claim it with my true love, Sawyer, beside me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That fairy tale ending seems impossible with him locked in the thralls of a sleeping curse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As much as I’d love to sit by his bedside and eagerly await a cure, I must first travel </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
into the terrifying Dark Woods to stop Raven from stripping me of all that is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rightfully mine. I am not only a queen, but a warrior who will fight for her kingdom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some may die. Blood will be shed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when this ending comes, I will settle for nothing less than a blissful ever after. </div>

They tell me I killed my boyfriend Phillip in cold blood. I stabbed him twenty one times. <br />

I’m only seventeen years old, and I am serving life in Spindle Ridge Asylum for the </div>

Runner Jennifer Miller tries to ignore the mysterious happenings down at Whitecap Bay. She has other things to worry about—a new school, new friends and an upcoming track meet to name a few. But why is Darrell Hanley spending so much time at the beach, and what are the strange things he keeps carrying back and forth? When Jennifer’s curiosity gets the best of her and she follows Darrell, she finds more than she bargained for. There is a mermaid trapped in the Bay, and Darrell and Jennifer, along with Jennifer’s unruly dog, Tyrone, embark on a quest to free the mermaid before she is found or worse. Can they win this race against time?</div>

<span style="color: #b50210; font-family: A Love of Thunder; font-size: large;">Excerpt -</span> </div>
Prologue<br />
There was a time when heaven was filled with peace and serenity. God, Jesus Christ, and all the Angels lived in harmony; no evil and no sin existed. Until one fateful day...<br />
With all gathered to hear their Sire speak, God rose and addressed his Angels. Before all, he proclaimed His Son, Jesus Christ, was equal to Him. That Christ’s words should be obeyed as if they were His own. Christ would command the heavens, with the same authority as Him. All the Angels bowed down before Christ and accepted their Sire’s proclamation, all except for one…<br />
An Archangel was furious with this proclamation. He was his Sire’s right hand, the deliverer of justice, the commander of many legions. He had served his Sire for centuries, and never failed him. It should be to him that God bestow power, not a Son whom had never even seen battle.<br />
With his heart filled with hatred and jealousy, he gathered all the angels in secret. He told them that their days of sweet liberty were at an end. That God has now placed Christ as their ruler and that they should now obey his wishes. Many angels were angered at such a false statement, but many also agreed with the Archangel. He had led them for many years; why should they now question his leadership?<br />
The faithful Angels fled to God and told Him what was happening, and together they prepared for war. With the sun rising on a new day, God and his Angels stood ready for battle against the Archangel and his followers. The battle only lasted a day, the Archangel and his followers defeated before the sun set for the night.<br />
Seeing the angels on their knees before Him, He gave them one final chance… “Repent and declare your loyalty, and I will forgive you, my children.” He told his beautiful angels, tears falling with each word. This was His family. This was His love. How could they betray Him? Some of the Angels cried their penance, begging Him to forgive them for their deceit. They claimed that the Archangel deceived them, and they followed him into battle, as they have done for centuries.<br />
God took pity on them, but still believed that their deceit must not go unpunished. He had spoken many times about the importance of punishment, that lessons learned must be earned... “I herewith grant you mercy, but as punishment you will be sentenced to an earthly realm. I will take your beauty as payment for my children lost today. In the place of your beauty, I will give you purpose. In mercy, and because I love you still, I give you life in this realm. Let this be known, that I was merciful this day,” God finished.<br />
He placed them in an earthly realm, and called it Exsilium. In this realm they would carry their deceit, and earn their place with him. He took their beauty and replaced them with elements of his earth. Half would be of animal and element, and would resemble punishment. The other, in a humanoid form, and would resemble mercy. He called them his Fallen.<br />
The Archangel, and those whom did not repent, were not that lucky. God looked into the eyes of His once faithful angels and only saw destruction, hatred, jealousy, and heartache. He knew that His beloved ones had died this day, and that others needed to be protected. But how could you destroy one you loved? He placed the Archangel, and his followers, in another earthly realm, but where Exsilium was above the earth, this one was in the center. With one wave of His hand, their beautiful forms were replaced with forms as ugly as their hatred and deceit. Using His word and blood, He sealed this realm from any other.<br />
As He looked into the many eyes of hatred, He spoke his final word... “This realm will be called Hell, and you will be called demons. You, my once faithful Archangel, you will be called the Devil. Your angel name will be erased from the past, present, and future. You will be forgotten,” He proclaimed and left them to their demise.<br />
Many years have passed since that day. God created mankind and cherished his new children. The male and female were his new hope; in them he would find peace again. But the Devil had grown strong through the years, and somehow managed to enter God’s garden. Here, he found the female God created, using her to strike back. He whispered words of deceit in her ears, and watched as God’s new children stepped into sin. With her first bite, a crack appeared in the seal around Hell, and demons escaped to earth.<br />
From that day onward, the Devil and his demons created chaos amongst God’s new children, leading one after the other into sin. God looked upon this and decided to fight for his loved ones. He went to Exsilium and spoke to the Fallen... “You, my children, have proven your loyalty in the years that have passed, and so I came to offer you another chance at Heaven. If you slay the Devil and his demons to protect mankind, I will give you a place in my Heaven once again. With your last breath on this earth, you will join me and your brethren in Heaven,” He finished. The Fallen agreed and God gave them the power to move in and out of Exsilium to battle the demons. The war between Good and Evil began.<br />
But as mankind spread over the earth, sin became their followers. And with each sin, the demons grew stronger and created more demons to torture mankind. The Fallen were now fighting against millions; they needed assistance to ensure victory. God had watched the battle from Heaven and saw that they were failing because of their numbers. He also saw that the demons grew stronger than the Fallen. He intervened and created a new creature. This creature would have features encompassing the best of both worlds. One half was as strong and loyal as the Fallen, while the other was as hard and enduring as a demon. This was His ultimate weapon. This would be His greatest creation. To ensure that these creatures could not be swayed, He placed Heaven’s soul into them. He called them His hellhounds.<br />
The hellhounds delivered justice swiftly, as strong and just as the Fallen. Yet hard and durable like the demons, they conquered the earthly realm and the demons retreated. Not one hellhound could be swayed. All stayed true to their calling. God, knowing that the Devil and many more demons had retreated, gave His hellhounds life, and offered them a place among the Fallen.<br />
Until this day they still watch over mankind, protecting them from evil. Will we be worth it?<br />

Her half-breed fallen friends join her, and they are ordered to complete their apprentice training in order to obtain the right to be guardians.

“Kasadya, don't do this to me,” Chax spoke, using Corra.<br />
I stopped completely and looked at him. Reaching for my necklace, I held it.<br />
“I am so sorry, Chax. This is the only way; we can’t win any other way. I know; I have seen the end too many times,” I replied.<br />
His face fell even more and he looked around, searching for a way out.<br />
“I want to thank you... for being there for me. For searching for me when I went missing. For enduring all of my crap. I am sorry I messed up so many times. But not this time; this I promise. But most of all, thank you for loving me.” Even my mental voice broke down on the last part.<br />
Chax started to scream and pound at the invisible wall, while others joined him. I looked at Nanini, shocked that she couldn’t get out.<br />
“Take care of Max for me,” I sent to her.<br />
Tears formed and ran down her cheeks, but she nodded.<br />
“Kas, let us help you!” Lotan yelled. My friends, my family were still trying to save me. Tears ran down my own face now.<br />
“I love all of you. Thank you for always being there for me.” Finally my mental voice began to a sob.<br />
I turned away, afraid that the sight of them would stop me.<br />
“Kasadya! Don’t do this to me. I beg you!” Chax yelled at me.<br />
Demons were closing in around me, but my heart was so broken I just let the tears and heartache spill out of me.<br />
“I am so sorry, Chax. Forgive me.” With that, I stormed forward.<br />
I used my g-force punches to clear the masses out of my way. When that stopped working, I started shifting. Demons grabbed at me and some got in a slice or two. But I wasn't stopping.<br />
I saw Ballen trying to flee from me. He thought I was heading for him. Good. I needed him on the other side when I blew it up. Using my wings for momentum, I sent a massive g-force punch into the horde that remained between me and my target. They flew backwards, clearing the way for me to advance. I swiped at a few too close and took their heads. Blood sprayed all over me. Searching for the hole to make sure I was heading in the right direction, I saw the shoulders and arms of something freaking big, already beginning to breach.<br />
I need to move faster!<br />
I lifted up with my wings. They were tired, but I had no other option. Now I had the flying demons to contend with. We fought and sliced and I sent a few down to earth without a head. At last, I was advancing on the hole. Pain shot through my left wing and I tumbled to the ground, hitting hard. At the last moment I made sure that the front of my body hit the ground and not the back. Demons jumped me all at once. Ballen was yelling at them to stop me. I used everything I had left and flung out with my wings and arms. They went flying and just in front of me was the hole with the devil stuck in it. Ballen was standing at the entrance watching me, his face a mask of shock.<br />
With a deep breath, I reached for the pouch and took hold of the balls. Now armed and ready, I just had a few feet to go. I stormed through the demons, not caring if they sliced me open. I wasn't stopping for a fight anymore. I held the balls to my chest, sealing them from any other impact. Then, finally, I was at the entrance of the hole. With the last of my strength, I leaped into the air and went flying straight for it.<br />
There were many things that go through your mind that moment before you die. I remembered my first step into Exsilium. Meeting Lada and Nanini. Meeting Chax and hating my first day. I remembered our fun at the beach, the Hellhouse and the grub spot. Seeing Lada and Lotan kissing for the first time. Meeting Max and Ryan, and then all of the rest. My heart no longer troubled by Kali or Seth or all the others who had betrayed me. I remembered finding Chax and the Fallen again. Seeing my parents again. So many memories bombarded me at that last moment. I remembered my day and night with Chax, and how it felt to be loved.<br />
“I love you,” I sent a final message to him.<br />
He was still screaming my name, begging for me to stop.<br />
I remembered why I was doing this. For them I gave my heart, my life. Ballen's shocked face was in front of me, right in my path. Just when I reached him, I dropped the balls and slammed into him.<br />

For centuries his only reason for existence was to destroy evil. But when he finally found his mate, that all changed for the deadly Chax De Luca. When the hellhound Kasadya captured his heart, he surrended it to her, thinking he’d finally found what he’d been looking for. Little did he know that his mate would sacrifice herself to save them all.<br />
His fury is legend. His wrath, merciless. His love for his mate, undeniable. He’s going to hell to retrieve his heart, and if that means that he must destroy hell itself, then so be it.<br />
Kasadya awakes to a world in peril, her mate forever changed, and a war filled with evil creatures intending to enter Earth’s realm and destroy all that she holds dear. Can she complete her divinity in time to save her loved ones and mankind? Will she have to choose? Or will all be lost in the final battle?<br />
The final battle is here, and with it, secrets are revealed and worlds are changed forever.<br />

Sisters Rachel, Angie, and Jo may have survived their first encounter with a curse, but hundreds more are lurking within their aunt’s antique shop. There’s just one problem: Peter, the apprentice, has no idea how to start teaching two untrained rune-casters and keep them safe at the same time.<br /><br /><em>Naet</em><br />It isn’t fair to Jo that she has no magic, but her sisters both do. She feels useless and left out. Worse yet, she knows that she’s a liability. She would leave… but, something in the shop is calling to her, reaching out … and she won’t leave until she finds it.<br /><br /><em>Ail</em><br />Every night, Angie’s dreams are haunted by a man who claims he was cursed, and she’s the only one who can save him. When she starts to get sick, Peter and her sisters are sure the cause is her mysterious dreams. How can they convince her that the person she’s determined to help could be the one killing her?<br /><br /><em>Eles</em><br />Rachel never expected to get a magic power and a boyfriend when she inherited the antique shop. Better yet, she’s actually good at curse-breaking. It seems as though she’s found exactly what she was meant to do. But, when a curse strikes two people she cares about, Rachel is faced with the harsh truth that she might only be able to save one.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span><br />Once upon a time I found myself locked away in Spindle Ridge Asylum, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>punished </span>for a murder I didn’t commit. It was all part of Maleficent’s evil </div>

plan. I didn’t remember who I was then … now I do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>My name is Aurora, and I am the rightful queen of this realm. Armed with my memories, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>I’m ready to take charge of my kingdom once more. Happily ever after evades me, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>yet I long to claim it with my true love, Sawyer, beside me. That fairy tale ending </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>seems impossible with him locked in the thralls of a sleeping curse. As much as I’d love to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span>sit by his bedside and eagerly await a cure, I must first travel into the terrifying </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not only a queen, but a warrior who will fight for her kingdom. </div>

Some may die.Blood will be shed. But when this ending comes, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will settle for nothing less than a blissful ever after.</div>

<em>Hello. My name is Paul DeLisle. I’m the guy who wrote this book. You've probably never heard of me. That's okay. Most people wouldn't know me from Adam. But, unless you've been living in a cloistered monastery for the last fifteen years, you have heard of my band.</em></h4>
So begins the memoir of the creation, rise, and current state of the multi-platinum recording artist Smash Mouth as told by bassist Paul DeLisle. Well known for their hits “All Star,” “Walking on the Sun,” “Then the Morning Comes,” “Can’t Get Enough of You Baby,” and “I’m a Believer,” the band carried the spirit of a generation, but didn't stop there. Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look from Paul’s unique, there from the start, insider’s view.

<span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">There's an episode of Cheers where washed-up ball player Sam Malone, frustrated with either Diane or Rebecca, proclaims, "Y'know, most people don't know this ... but I’m famous!"</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I love that line. I can totally relate. You see, I am a founding and continued member of the band Smash Mouth. Yet I am, proudly and alas, the bass player. I’m not famous. My band is.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">From the beginning, Smash Mouth was set up as a democracy between four musicians and a manager, each player having an equal voice on band matters. Yet we were all fully aware and accepting of the fact that, as lead singer/frontman, Steve Harwell would be getting a disproportionate amount of attention. Seeing as he is the face and mouthpiece of Smash Mouth, you may be a little disappointed he didn't write this book.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">But stay with me here. Because as you'll see, I have a unique vantage point: as one of only four original constituents, I’ve been involved in every aspect of the band since day one. Only Steve and I have trod every step of this Smash Mouth journey. Also, while traditionally under-recognized, the bass player himself sees everything. Plus I went to college. Who better to write a book about Smash Mouth?</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">That said, keep in mind this book is solely from my point of view. Steve, Greg, Kevin, and Robert would obviously have different takes on certain events. However, this book is simply intended as a comprehensive account of our rise to fame and continued success.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">So without further ado ... here’s what happened:</span></i></div>

Respect the Island.<br /><br />Snowdrop’s life changed when she found her mate, Orion Hunter. Her father always said finding your mate was like magic, but this was so much more. In the blink of an eye, Snowdrop found her life hung in the balance. Kidnapped and tortured by an evil vampire, Snowdrop was left wondering if she would live long enough to enjoy her newly found mate.<br /><br />Sammy was on the verge of turning rogue, and fought his evil side every day to keep it at bay. Then Sammy finds out he is the only one that can infiltrate the rogue’s hideout. He knew it would be his true challenge. He knew the mission came with the possibility of being sent to Deciding Island for judgment, a judgment that would most likely lead to being Island Ash. His only hope came from the most unlikely place, but would it be enough?</div>

Hunter did agree that for a Techie she looked striking. Even though he had never met her in person, he had noticed her from a distance. She didn’t have that same thick hair as the other Techies and seemed to have more of her herb growing everywhere. She was also short for a female Techie. He had not been close enough to know what color her eyes were, but Sat could not stop talking about her amazing hazel eyes. Sat would joke about how he should have been nicer to Snowdrop when she had a crush on him.</span><span color:black="" font-family:="" font-size:10.5pt="" helvetica="" mso-fareast-font-family:="" quot="" roman="" sans-serif="" style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" times=""></span><br style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" /><span style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;"></span><br style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" /><span style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;"></span><span style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;"></span><span cambria="" color:black="" font-family:="" font-size:12.0pt="" mso-bidi-font-family:helvetica="" mso-fareast-font-family:="" quot="" roman="" serif="" style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" times="">Hunter handed Mystic his one page report. “Hi Mystic, my report is short because Adam’s children did all the work.

He could remember the first day he met the Plazies during one of the many wars in his lifetime. While walking next to Sat, Hunter gazed off in the distance as he remembered that day. He had walked onto one of the war ships to find no one on board, yet the ship was in operation with the precision of a well-organized team. He looked around, but stopped when he noticed a line of little sticks appearing before him, Plazies lined up on the ropes and rails. One of them started to talk, “Welcome Orion Hunter.”</span><span color:black="" font-family:="" font-size:10.5pt="" helvetica="" mso-fareast-font-family:="" quot="" roman="" sans-serif="" style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" times=""></span><br style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" /><span style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;"></span><br style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" /><span style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;"></span><span style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;"></span><span cambria="" color:black="" font-family:="" font-size:12.0pt="" mso-bidi-font-family:helvetica="" mso-fareast-font-family:="" quot="" roman="" serif="" style="color: #515151; font-family: Amaranth; font-size: 14px; line-height: 28px;" times="">Hunter remembered his feeling of shock.

You've probably never heard of me. That's okay. Most people wouldn't know me from Adam. But, unless you've been living in a cloistered monastery for the last fifteen years, you have heard of my band</i><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">.</span></div>

So begins the memoir of the creation, rise, and current state of the multi-platinum recording artist Smash Mouth as told by bassist Paul DeLisle. Well known for their hits “All Star,” “Walking on the Sun,” “Then the Morning Comes,” “Can’t Get Enough of You Baby,” and “I’m a Believer,” the band carried the spirit of a generation, but didn't stop there. Enjoy this behind-the-scenes look from Paul’s unique, there from the start, insider’s view.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">There's an episode of Cheers where washed-up ball player Sam Malone, frustrated with either Diane or Rebecca, proclaims, "Y'know, most people don't know this ... but I’m famous!"</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I love that line. I can totally relate. You see, I am a founding and continued member of the band Smash Mouth. Yet I am, proudly and alas, the bass player. I’m not famous. My band is.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">From the beginning, Smash Mouth was set up as a democracy between four musicians and a manager, each player having an equal voice on band matters. Yet we were all fully aware and accepting of the fact that, as lead singer/frontman, Steve Harwell would be getting a disproportionate amount of attention. Seeing as he is the face and mouthpiece of Smash Mouth, you may be a little disappointed he didn't write this book.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">But stay with me here. Because as you'll see, I have a unique vantage point: as one of only four original constituents, I’ve been involved in every aspect of the band since day one. Only Steve and I have trod every step of this Smash Mouth journey. Also, while traditionally under-recognized, the bass player himself sees everything. Plus I went to college. Who better to write a book about Smash Mouth?</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">That said, keep in mind this book is solely from my point of view. Steve, Greg, Kevin, and Robert would obviously have different takes on certain events. However, this book is simply intended as a comprehensive account of our rise to fame and continued success.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">So without further ado ... here’s what happened:</span></i></div>

Haven’t you ever wanted to reinvent yourself?
Were you tired of living in someone else’s shadow?
Who We Were is not just a summer romance but a
rediscovering of oneself. Journey with Sadie as she discovers
in the summer before her Senior year who Sadie Peters really is.</div>

"Who we were had washed away with the summer. Who we are was yet to be seen.” Summer school at Alcott High was only supposed to gain Sadie Peters extracredit, nothing more. Her goal wasn't to make friends, or gain the attention of the most popular football player, yet she managed both. Her life was cruising along on course ... until that summer. Could a simple stint in a different school change her identity completely and introduce her to love for the first time? How would that affect her relationship with Lily, her best friend? Hopefully their friendship was strong enough to make it through the tumultuous summer. Sadie learns that great things come with change, but sometimes memories of the past are hardest to part with.</div>

Excerpt 1
I killed the engine and grabbed my new bag. I refused to go to summer classes with my junior year backpack. No way! I had purchased all new items for the next four weeks. This was a new school and a new chance to actually become someone different. A clean slate. No one here knew me, so my past history was erased. I would be Sadie Peters, popular and outgoing, instead of Sadie Peters, a shy nobody that no one pays any attention to. I looked up at Alcott High’s newly rebuilt entrance. It was the town’s oldest school, but it held the most history. It was the very first school built in Laurel Lakes when it was a small town. Now that the town has grown immensely, they needed a new school built, and that’s how Ridgeline High, my school, was built. While I liked my school for various reasons, I loved the history of Alcott. To me it held hope and immense change. After a complete and utterly disastrous junior year, I could only see promise staring me in the face.
Excerpt 2
“Three weeks, Sadie. They didn’t even show up to my doctor’s visit to get the final results.” That made me so sad to hear. How could they do that? He made a fist and hit the dashboard, not hard, but enough to make himself feel better. I placed my hand on his and squeezed, letting him know I was here and I wasn’t going anywhere. “Do you ever feel invisible?” He asked looking out the window. I laughed. Did I ever. My mom worked so much I hardly ever saw her, and my dad wasn’t home anymore. Cara was off to college, and she just thought of me as the silly kid sister. No one at Ridgeline knew I existed, even though I passed them in the halls every day. But instead of giving him that answer, I gave him the one I really felt was true. The one that I felt right then in that moment. “Not anymore.” I turned to look at him, and he met my eyes at the same time.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: center;">As the third child in the Carter family, I always felt a little on the outside of the Carter charm. I worked hard and played harder, but I was getting tired of the same old scene. I was more than Jess Carter’s little sister, I wanted to be me. Pam Carter.</span></span></div>

<b><i>It was time for a change and I wanted to be set free.</i></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: center;">I knew it needed to happen. After years of one night stands and too brief sexual encounters, an accident brought Fate to me. To resist his charm was my penance for years of misbehavior. The temptation to give in to my desire haunted me for almost two years, until an uncontrollable situation started the twisted path to test my resolve further.</span></div>

<b><i>What would it take to claim my independence and be a new, improved woman?</i></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: center;">I worked for Jacob Vincent, horror novelist extraordinaire, as his personal assistant, but I was adamant that the relationship remain professional. Jacob had dark demons and I couldn’t bring him into the light…or could I? Life was springing forth for me; changes were coming. I knew it was time to be set free from who I had been and who I was to start fresh with who I wanted to be. I just didn’t know where to start to change my destiny.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Jacob Vincent and Pam
Carter Interview</b></span><b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br />Jacob grunts at me. I know he hates to talk about himself and I’m making him answer this interview for The Horror Times, a periodical that highlights mystery, suspense, and all things horrific in writing. As his personal assistant, I make it my mission to keep him on track. It’s what he hired me for at first, but now, things are different.<br /><br />Jacob, sitting at his desk: Why do I have to do this again? (He swivels back and forth in his chair as I pace in front of the large desk, holding my ipad in one hand and type with the other).<br /><br />Pam: It’s good publicity. Your novels are doing well and with the upcoming movie, people are curious about you.<br /><br />Jacob, letting his head fall back: Fine, Lilac. Ask away.<br /><br />I have to smile when he calls me by my nickname. He gave it to me, and he uses it when he wants something from me. I wasn’t ready to give him what he wanted at the moment. We have work to do.<br /><br />Pam: First question, can you tell me who or what inspired you to write?<br /><br />Jacob: Stephen King.<br /><br />Exasperated, I sigh: Not your standard answer. Something more truthful. More you.<br /><br />His dark hair falls over his forehead and my hand twitches to brush it back. I can’t touch him yet, or this interview won’t get done. <br /><br />Jacob, blowing out a breath: Fine. My father inspired me. Not that he was a positive force, or supportive, but because he was a less than encouraging parent who ruled by the fist. Monsters were a daily reality for me.<br /><br />I stopped pacing. He was more honest than I expected. I blinked at him before I asked another question, but he was looking at the high ceiling of his study. We were back in Michigan for this interview after a long weekend in New York visiting his niece, Ella, and her boyfriend, Ethan Scott.<br /><br />Pam: Anything or anybody else inspire you?<br /><br />Jacob leaned forward, the chair stilled and he rested his elbows on his knees.<br /><br />Softly, Jacob replied: My brother. (His head was bent forward and I crossed around the desk to stand near him. He still held a lot of guilt from what his brother had done in the past and we’d talked about how it wasn’t his fault).<br /><br />My tone warned him: Jacob.<br /><br />He looked up at me, shaking his head: Don’t psycho-analyze me, Pam? (When he used my name in that tone, I knew he was getting upset. He was moody, and some days I had to just roll with it. Other days, I fought back.<br /><br />Pam: I’m not psycho-analyzing you. I’m just reminding you it’s not your fault.<br /><br />He warned me again, this time with my nickname: Lilac, please. I’m not one of your students. Just ask the questions.<br /><br />My life had changed because of Jacob. One of those things was a return to school to become a high school counselor. While Jacob loved that I was doing what I wanted, he didn’t like it when I turned my new skills on him. Unfortunately, I believed if someone had used those strategies when he was young, he might not hold all this guilt inside. He also might not be the brilliant writer that he is, either.<br /><br />Moving on. Pam: Your characters are deep and labelled demented at times. How could you come up with such evil?<br /><br />Jacob, as he leans back in his chair: Drugs. Alcohol. Evil family members. It wasn’t hard.<br /><br />It was my turn to sigh. Drugs and alcohol was how I met Jacob. He’d been in an accident and I was the EMT to respond. It was one of many jobs I held. For some reason, he called to me, figuratively, and I did something I’d never done before, I followed up on a patient. That night began the two year relationship of my working for Jacob. Now things were different.<br /><br />Pam: Can’t tell kids to take drugs and alcohol, Mr. Vincent. That wouldn’t be responsible.<br /><br />Jacob reached for me as I stood at the edge of his desk and pulled me towards him. I wobbled a bit before I settled to stand between his knees. His hands were on the back of my thighs.<br /><br />Jacob: When have you ever known me to be responsible? (He tried to use a sinister voice, but it didn’t work. I laughed.)<br /><br />Pam: Many times. With Ella. With Jacob. With me. With us. (My voice quieted on the last words).<br /><br />Jacob smiled slowly: Us. (He kissed my stomach and then his hands traveled up to my hips. He stood and lifted me to sit on the leather pad in the middle of his desk. He now stood between my knees).<br /><br />I continued my interview, even though his hands were smoothing up and down my thighs. A burning sensation trailed behind his touch and I was ready to give in, but not yet.<br /><br />Pam: It’s often said you are a recluse. What do you have to say to that?<br /><br />Jacob: I’m a private man. (He leans forward and runs his nose under my jaw. Moaning softly, he whispers.) You smell delicious.<br /><br />My head tilts to allow him better access and then I cough a little to remind him we need to finish. <br /><br />Pam: That doesn’t exactly answer the question.<br /><br />Jacob, pulling back to look me in the eyes: If you want me to mention Ella and how I brought her here to protect her, I’m not going to comment.<br /><br />That wasn’t what I intended, nor did I think the interviewer wanted that answer. Jacob would never reveal publicly that he thought it best to hide his niece in my small home town in order to help her heal from the horrors of her senior year. I adored Ella and I wouldn’t want to share her situation either.<br /><br />Interrupting my thoughts, Jacob kissed the other side of my neck: Let’s talk about you.<br /><br />I giggle as removes the ipad from my hands, then rubs his hands around my neck and under my hair.<br /><br />Pam: The interviews not about me.<br /><br />Jacob: Well, the interview is about me, and you are a part of me now. (He kisses me tenderly before making it more aggressive. We can go from zero to one-hundred in minutes and I knew we had to stop or we’d be reenacting a scene from our past on this desk again.)<br /><br />Pushing Jacob back: What about me, then?<br /><br />Jacob: What made you fall in love with me? (He was serious but his tone was playful.)<br /><br />Pam: That won’t be in the interview.<br /><br />Jacob: Humor me.<br /><br />Pam: I felt like you were a lost soul. Despite being highly attracted to you…<br /><br />Jacob interrupting: Highly attracted?<br /><br />Pam: Yes. (I squeak as Jacob pulls me to the edge of the desk. He’s lined us up even though we aren’t touching. Yet.) I felt like you had secrets deep inside.<br /><br />Jacob: Deep inside? (He narrows his eyes at me. It’s a trait often reserved for when he wants to make something known he’s serious.)<br /><br />I sighed: And then when you took care of me. When I was sick. I learned that you were really sweet despite the moodiness.<br /><br />Jacob, pulling back a bit as he nudged his hips forward: You think I’m moody?<br /><br />Pam: You know I do. (I laughed.)<br /><br />Jacob: Let’s go back to those other words. Highly. Deep. Inside. (He leans forward and he knows he’s tempting me. I’m so attracted to Jacob it scares me, but he’s just as drawn to me. He was constantly touching me before anything happened, and now it’s endless.)<br /><br />Pam: I’d rather hear other words. Love, perhaps? (Jacob’s hands return to my hips and he kisses me on the shoulder).<br /><br />Jacob: I love you, Lilac. Is that what you want to hear?<br /><br />Pam: That will do, Mr. Vincent.<br /><br />Jacob: You know it’s still kind-of hot that you call me that even though you don’t have to anymore. Actually you never had to be so formal with me. <br /><br />I did have to be that formal, though. It was a way to protect myself. I had to keep our relationship professional. Jacob was too much of a temptation for me in the past and I was tired of being tempted and disappointed by men. <br /><br />Jacob: When do I get to call you Mrs. Vincent?<br /><br />I sigh and turn my head to look out the floor to ceiling glass window that holds the most glorious view of Lake Michigan, but he uses his fingers to force me to look at him.<br /><br />Jacob: Lilac?<br /><br />Pam: Soon. We have Jess and Emily’s wedding first.<br /><br />His fingers intertwine with mine and he glances down at my hand. He raises it to kiss my knuckles, then set our hands back on my thigh.<br /><br />Jacob: I’m a very patient man.<br /><br />I laugh hard: You are not.<br /><br />His caramel colored eyes darken and his mouth crooks up on one side: I’ve been known to take my time. (His eyes narrow to emphasize his point. He has learned to take things slow, but he knows I wouldn’t complain if it’s fast either).<br /><br />Jacob: I think it’s time to end this interview? <br /><br />Jacob had a way of asking a question that was more a suggestion. He was kissing me again.<br /><br />Still touching his lips: Want me to set you free, huh?<br /><br />Jacob: I want to set you free. Free of these clothes.<br /><br />He was a jokester when things got too serious for him and the interview had been more serious than he cared to share.<br /><br />Pam: Alright, Mr. Vincent. You’re free.<br /><br />Jacob: Not yet. (And I heard the clink of his belt unbuckle and the unzip of his jeans). I want to set you free, too, Lilac. (His mouth was against mine again, his tone more serious).<br /><br />Pam: You already do, Jacob. You already do.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-size: 13.5pt;">I’d
like to say I was always a writer. I’d also like to say that I wrote every day
of my life since a child. That I took the teaching advice I give my former
students because writing every day improves your writing. I’d like to say I
have my ten-thousand hours that makes me a proficient writer. But I can’t say
any of those things. I did dream of writing the “Great American Novel” until
one day a friend said: Why does it have to be great? Why can’t it just be good
and tell a story?</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-size: 13.5pt;">As a teenager, I wrote your
typical love-angst poetry that did occasionally win me an award and honor me
with addressing my senior high school class at our Baccalaureate Mass.
I didn't keep a journal because I was too afraid my mom would
find it in the mattress where I kept my copy of Judy Blume’s Forever that
I wasn't allowed to read as a twelve year old.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-size: 13.5pt;">I can say that books have
been my life. I’m a reader. I loved to read the day I discovered “The Three
Bears” as a first grader, and ever since then, the written word has been my
friend. Books were an escape for me. An adventure to the unknown. A love affair
I’d never know. I could be lost for hours in a book.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-size: 13.5pt;">So why writing now? I had a
story to tell. It haunted me from the moment I decided if I just wrote it down
it would go away. But it didn't. Three years after writing the first
draft, a sign (yes, I believe in them) told me to fix up that draft and
work the process to have it published. That’s what I did. But one story let to
another, and another, and another. Then a new idea came into my head and a
new story line was created. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #181818; font-size: 13.5pt;">I was accused (that’s
the correct word) of having an overactive imagination as a child, as if that
was a bad thing. I've also been accused of having the personality of
a Jack Russell terrier, full of energy, unable to relax, and always one
step ahead. What can I say other than I have stories to tell and I think you’ll
like them. If you don’t, that’s okay. We all have our book boyfriends. We all
have our favorites. Whatever you do, though, take time for yourself and read a
book.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Aubrey Evans is living every author’s dream; her sizzling romance novel is being turned into a blockbuster film. She would be celebrating this momentous event, if she wasn’t busy fighting over every tiny production detail with the maddeningly cavalier director, Kole Camden. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When news of their heated rivalry hits the gossip columns, drastic measures must be taken to save their sinking project. In an elaborate PR hoax, she is publicly linked to Greyson Meyers, the swoon-worthy star of her movie. A whirl-wind love affair is staged for the couple to mirror the steamy chapters of her own books. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wicked Reads had this to say about Adapted for Film, <i>"Having been a fan of Mrs. Rourke's YA novels for awhile now, I was very nervous to hear of her newest book. A romantic comedy? No, this would not work! I was 100% wrong. This book was filled with everything I love about her other series; quick wit and characters that you can relate to ... From start to finish I was enthralled in the story. I literally could not put it down and read it in a matter of hours." </i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“I think I get it. If a
butterfly were to land on you, its touch would be so delicate that you would wonder
if it had really happened at all, or if it was merely your mind fantasizing
that such a rare beauty would honor you with the gift of their touch.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">A gorgeous man uttering
such poetry temporarily short circuited my brain. Catching myself doing the
slack-jawed fan-girl thing, I quickly snapped my mouth shut and averted my gaze
to a nonthreatening cement turtle by the edge of the gazebo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“Yep,” I muttered to
the turtle. “I think you’ve got it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Unfortunately for my
last remaining shred of dignity, Greyson wasn’t done with his tutorial. He
closed the distance between us with a burning hunger blazing in his eyes. A hot
flush rose in my cheeks, creeping clear up to my earlobes as his sculpted body
skimmed against mine. Toned, rigid perfection only a few thin layers of fabric
away …<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“What are you doing?”
My voice failed me, coming out in a raspy yelp.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“Making sure I’ve got
this right.” Temptation, of the most carnal variety, emanated off of him. His focused
gaze followed the curve of my lips, the lift of one brow promising toe-curling
fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">It had been a really
long time since someone had looked at me like that. Much less one of the
sexiest men on the planet. That almost never happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“Aiden wouldn’t grab
Paige, wouldn’t pull her to him.” Raising one hand, he traced the length of my
arm with two fingers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Starting at my wrist,
he worked his way up. His skin never actually made contact, but whispered over
mine in an electrifying rush that rolled and built. Bowing his head, his silky locks
tickled my cheek. Hot breath teased over my collarbone, awakening a need so powerful
my hands curled into tight fists at my sides. Agonizingly slow, he raised his
head. The blissful torment of his lips teased over mine, setting the veil of
energy between us alive with desire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">“He wouldn’t want to
crush her lips with his need,” he murmured against my mouth, “but would wait …
patiently for her to close that last … remaining … space.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Gabriola; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Not all princesses get their happily ever after...<br />
They tell me I killed my boyfriend Phillip in cold blood. I stabbed him twenty
one times. I’m only seventeen years old, and I am serving life in Spindle Ridge
Asylum for the Criminally Insane.<br />
I don’t remember killing him, so it’s really hard to believe I’m capable of
murder. In fact I don’t remember anything before I came to Spindle Ridge, not
even my boyfriend.<br />
I can only grasp onto my realistic dreams while the madness of the asylum
threatens to pull me under. I dream I’m a beautiful princess and there is an
evil faerie named Maleficent who is bent on my destruction. The dreams are the
closest thing I have to memories of my life, except they aren’t real.<br />
I’m crazy. I’m not a princess. <br />
They’re the mad illusions of an irrational teenage girl, right?<br />
They’ve assigned me a new doctor, and she says I can trust her, and that she’ll
help me see the truth of who I really am. <br />
When she arrived she brought a new patient, Sawyer, who is everything Spindle
Ridge isn’t: exciting, mysterious and beautiful. He promises he’s here to
rescue me. Trusting either of them frightens me.<br />
Could it be possible that my dreams are more than just the imaginings of a
delusional girl? Could they be truth?</span><o:p></o:p></b></div>
