The Last Keeper's Daughter & The Light and the Flame

I just started reading, The Last Keeper's Daughter, and as soon as I'm done I'll post the review. Already I'm hooked.

Congratulation, Rebecca! 

Blurb:

To the outside world Lily Ayres is the privileged daughter of an old moneyed family. She is young, beautiful, and a talented horsewoman. All of which are enviably qualities, but few know that beneath this thin veneer of societal perfection lies a deeply troubled young woman. For Lily rarely speaks and is incapable of normal, human interaction.

Unable to understand why she is this way, she further retreats inside herself, until memories and suppressed emotions begin to bubble to the surface. Murder, revelations of her family's hidden purpose and dark secrets are revealed as she is thrust into the supernatural world of Krieger Barnes, Vampire King of North America.

The good news is here! The Light and the Flame, the 2nd book in the series Gemini Rising is off to the editor. A big thank you to Denise for her help and to my buddy, Diane Cherry who is reading it as we speak. I will have ARCs available soon and hope to have them out to any interested reviewers. 

That said, for every third person to e-mail me at [email protected], today and tomorrow, you will win an e-book copy of Gemini Rising, The Crossing, Book One.

If you like apocalyptic novels you will enjoy Gemini Rising.

In the Light and the Flame, Kate Kelly meets her match in Belial, guardian of the underworld. Noah attempts to follow her as she's dragged into Hades where she must find the courage to face her demons, or forever lose her path back to her bond mate and her children.

I had so much fun writing the sequel, I genuinely wished I'd written Gemini after A Shadow of Time. As my first adult book I had no experience in marketing, I didn't have a Facebook page, and knew nothing about Twitter or Internet marketing. I didn't even have a webpage.

Well, now I do and I can promise you, if you like fiction, action, romance, passion and thought provoking prose, this is a series meant for you.

Packed with prophesy, pain and passion; with love, devastation and renewal, Gemini Rising is the memorable introduction to what promises to be an epic intergalactic/interdimensional series that will rock sci-fi readers to the core. 

This first book is set in the near future in the United Socialist States. America is plagued with many of the consequences that today’s conservatives believe we will face if our government continues down its current liberal path.  Yet, as frightening as this future world becomes, it didn’t once occur to me to put this book down. Simply put, it's one of the most amazing, yet unsettling books I’ve ever read.  For Ms. Carroll, it’s a crowning achievement, so masterfully written it can do nothing but win every award for which it’s certain to be nominated.
