In an attempt to pull Cassie from her downward spiral, her parents take her home, to Elvy… A world of unparalleled beauty, magic and endless possibilities.

EXCERPT:

Cassie sat in her room staring out the window. It had been three months since her husband died and yet the melancholy that enveloped her would not let go. But it wasn’t just her husband’s death that haunted her. She was, unfortunately, hit with a double whammy that night.

She was three months into her pregnancy and she and her husband, Greg, had decided to go out and celebrate. It was the first successful pregnancy she’d had since they started trying to conceive. It had taken them nearly three years and after two miscarriages and more hormone injections than Cassie would ever want to think about, the pregnancy finally took.

“If it’s a boy, we’ll have to name him Greg Jr.,” Greg said, taking her hand.

“Oh, you think so, do you? And what if I want to name him something else?” she teased.

Bringing her hand to his lips, he kissed it, “I may be willing to negotiate… for the right price.” He winked at her.

She laughed, “Only you would use sex as a bargaining chip.”

“Hey! I never even mentioned the word sex, but if it’s on the table…” he shrugged, then grinned.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Interview with . . . Charlie Daye . . .


How would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
My books are character driven. I don’t write the stories, they do. I’m just along for the ride. 

Do you have a character that you have been working on for a long time that still isn't quite ready, but fills you with excitement to work on the story? 
That was Cassiopeia. It took me 9 years to complete her story and I am so glad to finally share her story with you all. 

Can you share your next creative project(s)? If yes, can you give a few details?
I have several projects in the works at the moment. I have the final books in my Hunter’s Series (The Hunter’s Warrior) and the Sidney Rinn Series (Claimed) that I’m trying to wrap up. Fans have been waiting for the Hunter’s Warrior for a while now. I left them hanging with regards with what happened to Kai at the end of a Faerie’s Rescue. I’ve got a dark fantasy/ paranormal romance called Pursuing Avalon about a woman who becomes an assassin to avenge her mother’s death and finds love along the way – lots of surprises in this one. 

If you could have dinner/dinner party with 7 fictional characters, who would they be? 
Adam and Mercy from the Mercy Thompson series, Harry Dresden from the Dresden file, Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural, Doctor Who, and baby Yoda AKA Grogu. 

Where would you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere, money is not a concern? What would you do with this time?
I think I would go globe trotting. If I had a year, I would go visit all the places on my bucket list and spend weeks at a time in each location… England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Alaska, Hawaii and Montana. I have a love of history and would want to explore old ruins or castles and ghost towns and just take my time learning about all the people and cultures that came before me.

BLURB
My name is Sidney Rinn. Growing up in an orphanage without parents and not knowing where you come from is hard, especially when you have a gift like mine. I’m a seer. I can see the past in any location I enter.

Sometimes I see ghosts but mostly what I see is an instant replay of whatever event played out there. If it was important or traumatic to the person at the time then it’s important to me, otherwise I wouldn’t see it. No, I’m not psychic nor do I claim to be. I’m just your average girl with an above average talent.

Unfortunately, that talent had me seeing a murder I was never meant to see, which in turn, led me two of the sexiest men on the planet – Det. Denton Archer and PI Mitchell Caldwell. When Denton asked for my help on the case, I jumped in with both feet not realizing that that decision would change everything.

Now, I’m in love with both men and the killer is after me. Can my life get anymore complicated?

Excerpt:
We entered a conference room where a bunch of pictures had been laid out for me to inspect. At least I assumed they were for me, otherwise why else would I be here? I leaned over and started perusing the selections.
            “Can I get you anything before we get started? We have a soda machine, water or if you’d prefer I could make you a cup of what serves as coffee around here.”
            I smiled, “Tempting offer Detective but seeing as how I come from a generation that has been spoiled by Starbucks I think I’ll have to pass on your imitation coffee. I would, however, accept your offer of a non-alcoholic bubbly.”
            He smirked, “And what can I get you?
            “What are my options?”
            “We carry Coke products.”
            I held my hand over my heart with feigned disappointment “You’re killing me! I’m a total Pepsi girl!”
            He tried looking contrite. It really didn’t work for him. He was too smolderingly sexy, “I could run out and get you a Pepsi.”
            I dropped down into the closet chair and waved my hand in the air, “Nah, Coke’s fine but I think I should warn you Detective that I’m not always this easy.”          
            He walked over to the door and stopped before leaving. Looking over his shoulder, he gave me the hottest look I’ve ever seen, “I should hope not.”
My eyes rounded in shock as I watched him disappear through the door. If I wasn’t mistaken I would swear the good Detective had just flirted with me. I mean, I know I’m new at this and all but come on – that couldn’t be any more blatant unless he tattooed it across my ass.
            The question now becomes, do I flirt back or pretend it didn’t happen?
            The good Catholic girl in me says to behave and pretend it didn’t happen, I do have my sweet Larry at home after all. But, the devil on my shoulder says what’s the harm in a little casual flirting? It’s not like I’m going to go home with the good Detective and screw his brains out. Oh, decisions, decisions.
            I looked up as the man in question walked back in with soda in hand. He placed it down in front of me, “Let me know if you get hungry and we can break for some food.”
            I popped open the soda and took a sip, “Do you always entice the ladies with canned soda, take out and mug shots?” Ok, the flirting won out.
            He stared at me across the table with those dark soulful eyes, his lip twitched into a sly smile before he replied, “Always.”
            I took another sip before placing the can of soda down on the table, “You might wanna work on your strategy Detective. I’m not sure mug shots are the way to go.”
            He nodded thoughtfully and leaned back in his chair, “Got it. Mug shots are out from this point forward but what about the canned soda and take out?”
            I smiled, “Depends on the takeout.”

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Interview with Charlie Daye . . .


How would you describe you style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
My books are character driven. I don’t write the stories, my characters do. I’m jut along for the ride. 


Do you feel that writing is an ingrained process or just something that flows naturally for you?
I’d say it flows naturally for me. I love writing. It’s exciting to create worlds and introduce readers to characters they will either love or hate. 


Do you have a character that you have been working on for a long time that still isn't quite ready, but fills you with excitement to work on the story?
Yes, Cassiopeia. She’s being rather stubborn at the moment because she doesn’t like the direction the story is going. LOL. But I can’t wait to get her story out to the world. 


Have you found yourself bonding with any particular character(s)? If so which one(s)?
I absolutely love Cassiopeia and Sidney. They are my current favorites.


Can you share your next creative project(s)? If yes, can you give a few details?
I’m currently working on the 3rd and final book in Sidney’s series. Her story will come full circle. I’m also working in Healing Cassiopeia, an Elvin fantasy that will take you on an emotional roller coaster.  


If you could have dinner/dinner party with 7 fictional character, who would they be? 
Lucan from the Midnight Breed series, John Taylor from the Nightside, Charlie and Reyes from the Charlie Davidson series, Jean Claude from the Anita Blake series and Molly and Eddie from the Secret Histories series.


Where would you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere, money is not a concern? What would you do with this time?
Plant me on a beach somewhere, where the sand is white, the water is turquoise, and the food is delicious.  Give me my own cabana and a butler and a pile full of books.
