Book Fair Extraordinaire Friday!

Thank you for dropping by. It is said that there is nothing better than a good book. I believe that statement. Books have saved me during hard times, helped me to escape reality, and now the writing of them stimulates my imagination to heights I'd never dreamed possible. 

Today I'm going to feature other authors at Crescent Moon Press. I have read their novels and each one brings its own unique flavor to the world of books. The editors at Crescent Moon are top notch and have put each of us through the rigors of editing our beloved children. I will post a short review, the book blurb, and  the link where the books can be found and/or bought are hidden in the title. 

I wish you happy hunting as you tour the imaginations of my fellow authors. 

If you have time, please stop by and vote for our blogs at SHUT UP AND READ. You can click on the blog pic above to tour the book fair. If you'd like, you can download bookmarks of my books, A Shadow of Time and Gemini Rising here. To review my books, please click on the links above.

DENIED by Kinley Baker


A simply fantastic novel--moving, relevant, and smart. The writing is superb, the imagery shocking.


When invaders brutally massacred the women and children of the Varner, Caleb witnessed loss and destruction on a scale few can comprehend. As the leader of a race on the brink of extinction, his only hope for survival is gaining acceptance into the Shadow Shifter Kingdom. Struggling with new customs, he meets Tabitha, a woman who challenges his limits.

Refused the right to join the king’s guard because of her gender, Tabitha must be stronger than the men to prove she deserves to be the first accepted female Warrior in the kingdom. She believes Caleb will help improve her abilities, until she learns her goals conflict with the foundation of his culture.

LOVE CHOSEN by Marne Ann Kirk 

My first fantasy novel--ever. Marne has shown me that all genres deserve a chance. I am thankful hers is the first I've read. I know I'll read another one. This haunting story will stay with you. I promise. 

For millennia, dragon and fae have peacefully co-existed, but the fae themselves have lived segregated and very different lives.

Now a malevolence threatens to separate them all permanently. Can a Queen's guard and a rebellious outlaw join forces to defeat this common enemy?

Tyler's touch sparks fierce desire, drawing Issie to him, but she despises his way of life and all that palace society represents. If he learns she wields majic to help the less fortunate escape the kingdom, he'll charge her with treason. Her punishment - death.

Issie, is a sassy rebel who is constantly looking for ways to circumvent the conventions of their society. Tyler's head warns that she's a non-majical lower, beneath him. His heart sees by her inner strength and outer beauty. Only a binding love will lend them strength to save her life - their world.

Can either of them bend enough to trust that love?

 OTHER SIDE OF FOREVER by Shannon Eckridge


This YA novel cannot be missed.  Even an adult will appreciate the emotions and magic in the OTHER SIDE OF FOREVER. 

Seventeen-year-old Allie Anderson's telekinetic powers are anything but useful--she can't bring her father back, can't stop her mother's downward spiral into alcohol, and can't keep her from falling in love with Ethan Bradley. Loving Ethan is easy, but it comes with a hefty price: Ethan is prohibited by his people from interacting with mortals--because he isn't mortal himself.

When Allie and Ethan's love is discovered, there's someone who will do anything to keep them apart. If Allie can't learn to control her powers and fight to save Ethan, this dark entity will make every attempt to stop her beating heart. And if that happens, not even the energy of an immortal can bring her back.

DEMON HUNT by Christine Ashworth


I LOVED this novel. It's quirky, different, and has demons in it. What more could you want?  Plus the cover is totally cool.


Tribred Gregor Caine decided long ago to deny his blood legacy, so he isn’t thrilled when paired with a full-blooded Fae to hunt the demons threatening to decimate Los Angeles. As they fight side by side, he finds she calls to both his Fae and his demon blood; a call he can’t resist.

Warrior Fae Serra Willows crossed into the Human Plane to help destroy the demons released from the Chaos Plane. Finding and shutting down the portal between worlds is more challenging than she expected...and Gregor and his world more seductive than she had ever imagined.

As the killings escalate, Gregor and Serra realize one of the most deadly demons from the Chaos Plane has marked Serra as his own. To save her, Gregor has to face his greatest fear—losing his humanity to the darkness in his blood. But in a race against time, that darkness could become his greatest strength. And he will kill to claim Serra’s love.
