Happy Friday!

Today we have with us Sarah Woodbury to tell us about her newest book!

Synopsis:

November 1288. Bereft of a king or rightful heir, England hurtles towards civil war for the second time in a generation. When David, Prince of Wales, and his wife, Lili, travel to London to attend the wedding of William de Bohun and Princess Joan, they have no intention of involving themselves in local politics.

But as infighting leads to murder, David and Lili find themselves at the center of a far-reaching conspiracy. Trapped between history and legend, they must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice to save not only their own country, but the people of England as well.

Meanwhile, back in Wales, Llywelyn and Meg discover that time is no barrier to either adventure or trouble …

Children of Time, book four in the After Cilmeri series, continues the story of Llywelyn, Meg, and their children in the medieval kingdom of Wales.

Other books in the series include Daughter of Time (a prequel), Winds of Time (a novella) and books 1-3: Footsteps in Time, Prince of Time, and Crossroads in Time.

Hello Lizzyland!

Today’s featured author is R.M. Prioleau, let’s give her a warm welcome and check out her book!

Synopsis:

Jasmine Na’Darod lived a simple life with her parents and older sister on the family’s farm. She never strayed far from home until the ill-fated Blood Moon arose, basking the country of Caristan with a terrible, sickening drought. When her mother falls ill, Jasmine and her family are forced to leave home in desperate search of a cure. During their journey, a series of tragic events will change Jasmine’s life forever. With her former life shrouded and forgotten, Jasmine embraces a new path granted by an unlikely stranger, who, ironically, practices the Art of death and undeath. As Jasmine is drawn to this enigma of a man, she soon realizes there is more to him than what she initially perceived — his true motives are beyond anything she could ever imagine.

Deeply compelling and morbidly intriguing, The Necromancer’s Apprentice is a beautifully-narrated gothic fantasy with memorable characters. *A novella by R.M. Prioleau*

Synopsis:

What would you choose?

She had everything but freedom.

He had nothing but his loyalty, his wits and his training.

She was a prisoner, a disease, not fit for the world, and she didn’t know why. But she did know she wasn’t allowed to die, she wasn’t allowed to live and she wasn’t sane.

He was a soldier, a protector, but his foundation will be tested when he must destroy the only light in his dark world.

Thrown together, prisoner and keeper, their rebellion will splinter through time, changing the course of history and the fate of the world. Their love will challenge their greatest enemy and immortalize them forever.

Loyalty. Freedom. Love.

What would you risk?

“Let me die.”

Pain darkened his eyes. “Never.”

When asked, Airicka describes herself as a sarcastic basket case that has an unhealthy addiction to chocolate, old movies and really bad jokes. She loves to laugh, make friends and write.

Happy Wednesday Lizzyland!!!

To help you over the hump, we have R.J. Palmer here to discuss her book with us!

Synopsis:

Bowen is an orphaned child in feudal England whose first appearance in this novel is having been bound hands and feet and whipped mercilessly by the monks in a monastery in an excess of bloodlust. He’s realistically of an indeterminate age but no more than about seven years old and the monks are very sadistic. He’s punished repeatedly for any number of minor and inconsequential infractions.

Bowen’s father and mother and sister are dead. His sister was the victim of a brutal rape in which she became pregnant and died shortly after giving birth though she had been returned to her parents’ home in a beaten and catatonic state. His father drowned and his mother burned to death in the family home.

Aaron is a minister in present day Midwest America who takes a short sabbatical after he has a fainting episode while experiencing the marks of the stigmata immediately preceding a sermon that he’s supposed to deliver about Faith Unending, a concept with which he’s struggling himself.

Aaron is continuously having episodes of a fugue like state or altered consciousness in which he’s catapulted back in time. He sees Bowen whipped by the monks and is compelled to take the whipping on himself which in turn leads Bowen to have to leave the monastery where the sadistic monks are calling for his death, citing devil possession.

Lucian is a severely autistic child in the present day who’s found homeless and taken to a mental health center after a fire in an abandoned building in which he’s sleeping. He’s horribly scarred and disfigured and bears a striking resemblance to Bowen and Aaron. He takes a liking of a sort to Aaron, who has eyes of the same amethyst color as his. He also bears a mark on his chest which looks like a brand and is the mark of the Celtic war god Rudianos.

Lucian has a horrible aversion to religious symbols, only speaks Welsh and then only in riddles and in a cold, hateful voice not like a child, “The guardian lives. The gate has been opened. The sins of the father borne upon the son. Vengeance thirsts for blood. The sacrifice must be made.” He also tends to say, “Bless the child, save the child.” All this starts to make sense, along with the rash of fires that follows Lucian wherever he goes when Aaron finds out that Bowen and Lucian are the same person.

Lucian/Bowen’s father awoke an ancient evil whose service he had the strong desire to use for revenge but he didn’t understand that said evil thirsts for living blood and the dead blood of the sister, whom he dug up and tried to offer as payment on a burning pyre, was simply unacceptable. Since he performed a Druid rite under the light of the full moon, each lunar cycle brings with it a fresh hell for Lucian.

Lucian/Bowen is the Guardian of that ancient evil and a perpetual child who has been severely tortured, violated and abused. He’s centuries old though physically still very young and has been left repeatedly to the whims and care of both good families in the past as well as people with sick and obscene appetites, so it was easier to retreat into his own mind where the suffering wasn’t so bad.

Aaron realizes that his compulsion to help Lucian comes from the fact that he’s a direct descendant of Lucian’s nephew, the child of the rape. This is why they bear a stunning resemblance to one another, including the black hair and amethyst eyes. Aaron also realizes that this is why he’s the only one who can help Lucian and he offers his own life to take Lucian’s place as the church they’re in burns to the ground.

When Aaron’s body is found the next morning, Lucian is curled next to him but he’s talking and able to meet peoples’ eyes. He’s judged fairly healthy all things considered and a most unlikely guardian steps forward in the form of a member of Aaron’s congregation, Philip Moran. It’s under the cooperative care of Philip and his sister that Lucian begins to obtain an education and grow up though he always remembers the sacrifice that Aaron made to help him. Lucian begins to live.

Author Bio:

My pen name is RJ Palmer but most people know me by Rachel. I’m a 32 year old (gasp, the cardinal sin…I disclosed my age!) married mother of so freakin’ many children that the first day of school is like a holiday in and of itself. Not that any other parent can’t relate to that sentiment, at least in part. If you have kids you understand where I’m coming from. It’s that wonderful day when you get to kick ‘em out the door after they’ve been home all summer and they don’t come back for about eight hours.

I’ve written two novels, one of which is FREE on Amazon in celebration of my blog’s birthday, as if I hadn’t said that enough. (Pssst! Hey everybody…It’s “Sins of the Father” in case you missed that part…) And the other is “Birthright” my debut novel which needs a little polish and some less amateur cover art. I did it all by myself which explains the amateur part. Pay attention to “Sins of the Father”. I like it better right now.

Truth be told, it’s my favorite brainchild at the moment.

If you want to get to know me better please feel free to visit my blog or you could take the easy route and Google the title, “Confessions of a Wingnut and Science Fiction Junkie.” Though after that little display directly above, I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t, or did…Either way is fine. Get to know my books though; they’re cooler than I am.

Happy Monday!

Is that possible?, if not then I’ve got a got a great double feature today that might just cheer you up!

Check these out!

Synopsis:

Gael Patricks is Wolf Blood – a human who is fated to bond with an Alpha wolf whether he wants to or not. When the shifter pack that has raised him is taken over by an abusive Alpha, Gael is forced to run in order to protect his pack. He never expected to run into the arms of another Alpha, but Gael refuses to give in to his attraction to the shifter. Despite what the Alpha says, Gael knows the shifter is only drawn to him because he is Wolf Blood.

Dusk has always been on his own and he wants to keep it that way. When crossing through shifter territories, the one thing Dusk didn’t expected was to find his mate. The pull to the man is instant, but Dusk knows it’s dangerous to get involved. Even so, he finds himself trying to prove to Gael that it’s not the Wolf Blood he wants, but Gael.

On the run from their past and fearful of their future, Gael and Dusk must decide whether to ignore their bond in order to protect the people they love or to risk it all to keep each other.
