Hey Jana. Thank you for spotlighting me on your blog today.
I love the way you set up your site, a fun atmosphere with something new and
different every day. Today
I'd like to spotlight my books, my new release, Beneath The Lake, and my
Destiny Series.
I
designed my Destiny Series to give readers a taste of my writing with short
reads that will hopefully leave them wanting more. The series includes five
novelettes, short stories that capture the essence of my genre and style: romantic
suspense or mysteries that are ethereal, supernatural, romantic, paranormal,
and heartwarming all rolled into one series, and sprinkled with a touch of
magic. My hope is when people read my shorts; they will be enticed into my
novels.
My Destiny
Series includes the following five stories; each can be purchase
separately, (most for only $0.99) or all together in one volume in the Destiny
Series on this Amazon link.
Self-reliant
Reagan Nichols is no stranger to challenges, but ever since twilight fell over
Spirit Lake and that murky mist oozed inland, everything felt surreal. When she
finds a little girl wandering through the eerie fog, Reagan vows to save the
child's father from the bowels of a ghostly vessel adrift on the lake. Will the
three survive a confrontation with pure evil in order to meet their Destiny?
Savanna
Bradford's impulsive reaction to her boyfriend Ryan's proposal spirals her into
a rendezvous with fate and a mystical gift that could alter her future. Will
the timeless struggle between dreams and passion bait her into repeating
history, or will a simple gift from her bizarre encounter steer Savannah toward
her true destiny before it's too late?
Sabrina
Wentworth's bewildering gift swept her into the sensuous arms of a dream lover.
Every night, sometime after midnight, she slips into an illusory world drenched
in passion. But the sands of time run out tonight. Can Brie find the key to her
fantasy world before the reality of her ex boyfriend's deadly plot plays
through or will she be destined to death after midnight?
Prominent
heart surgeon, Sierra Norton, performs minor miracles on a daily basis, but
never in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would live one. When lightning
strikes her flight the aircraft plunges, swirls through turbulence, and
catapults Sierra into a treacherous past––the attack on Pearl Harbor. In a
whirlwind blur, Sierra's courage, skill, and passion challenges her sanity. Can
the convergence of three strong women reset history to fulfill her destiny?
The Pegasus Chronicle: When New York Time's best
selling author, Katlyn Harris, discovers a timeworn painting in the attic of
the isolated home she mysteriously inherits, she feels a surge of déjà vu that
spins her into a mysterious fantasy. Can dreams pierce the realm of reality or
is Katlyn's mystic connection to the antique painting the fulfillment of a
promise torn from the pages of history?
If
your readers aren't quite convinced yet, perhaps the trailer for my new
release will entice them further:
Blurb:
A ghost town submerged beneath Atlanta's famous man-made
Lake Lanier reportedly lures victims to a watery grave. But when Lacey
Montgomery's car spins out of control and hurtles into the depths of the icy,
black water, she awakens in the arms of a handsome stranger, in a place she’s
never heard of––
34 years before she was born.
When the 2012 lawyer tangles with the 1949 hunk, fire and
ice swirl into a stream of sweltering desire. Bobby Reynolds is smitten the moment
the storm-ravaged woman opens her eyes. Learning the truth about her origins
does nothing to stop the passion from taking root in his heart, and leaves him
torn between finding a way to help Lacey return to 2012 or convincing her stay
with him.
The desperation to find her way home dissolves as Lacey
falls in love with a town destined to be erased from the face of the Earth, and
the man who vows to protect it. Will the couple discover the key to the
mysterious portal before time rips them apart? Or will their star-crossed
spirits wander forever through a ghost town buried beneath the lake?
Time Travel, Romantic Suspense, Mystery
Below I've included the opening excerpt:
Lake
Lanier, Georgia—June 2011
A
final thud hurled him backward, flailing through brush and thickets like a rag
doll. Grasping at anything to break momentum, Rob’s hand clung to a branch
wedged into the face of the precipice. Spiny splinters sliced his skin. Blood
oozed and trickled into his palms, and one by one, his fingers slowly slipped.
A
sharp crack echoed through the silence of the ravine as the bough succumbed to
his weight. He plummeted into free-fall. Clenching his eyes, he drew in a deep
breath, terrified of the pain, the mauling that waited on the jagged rocks
below.
When
icy water broke his fall, the chill kept him from losing consciousness. He
spun, straining to see, but darkness enveloped him. Soggy clothing pulled him
deeper—deeper into the murky, fathomless depths. He wrestled to squirm free
from the waterlogged jacket dragging him down to a watery grave, watched the
coat disappear into black obscurity. Panic gripped his stomach, or was it death
that snaked around his chest, squeezing, squeezing, squeezing the air, the life
from his body? Lack of oxygen burned his lungs, beckoning surrender, and a
shard of rage pierced his gut as reality set in. He lunged upward with one last
thrust and burst from the water’s deadly grip, gasping for air. A gurgling howl
spewed from the depths of his soul and echoed into silence.
Sunlight
shimmered across a smooth, indigo lake, but aside from the slight ripples of
his own paddling, nothing but stillness surrounded him. He floated toward the
shore, sucking deep breaths into his lungs until the pummeling in his chest
subsided. When he reached the water’s edge, he hoisted his body onto the soft
red clay and collapsed while the sun’s warmth drained the tension from his
body.
No
one knew he had survived. The rules had shifted. Now he could reinvent himself,
become a stealth predator. His target: Lacey Madison Montgomery.
Thank
you for the opportunity to spotlight my books. I welcome any questions or
comments your readers may have.
Wishing
you a peaceful Thanksgiving and happy holidays,
Casi
