David's Mail Call Poetry
A few days ago, a fan expressed her "love" of Creatura on my Facebook page. I decided to give her a little gift from my book's hero, David Chios. Quickly it was that the responses to his humble offering grew, and before I knew it, "David" was serenading fan girls with verse. Here's an example of one of his poems:
."Carly Anne's Chablis"
Written for Carly Anne Wallace
Weaved of fine silks and fine wine
The Gods adorned Carly Anne so divine
And I a poor beggar on mine raw knee
Pleading, suffering, eager to be free
But what doust freedom imply to a beggar?
Leaving mine Carly Anne to be?
Never shalst I wander free of mine decree
And I do attest, dear Carly Anne, this sacrifice to thee
May mine blood become dry like the Gods' wine of Chablis
Should ever you never come to be privately for me
~ David Chios
Thank you for reading and I invite you to get to know David Chios and the rest of the personalities in the first book of the Creatura Series.

Putting a Face on the Characters in Creatura
Read the first chapter of Creatura on www.nelycab.com
A lot of my fans have been asking me to post pictures of the characters in my book, Creatura. The problem with this is that in each of our minds the physical traits of each character is different. I was hesitant to put a face on my characters, but many already knew that the main character, Isis, was originally fashioned after my sister. I was advised against it, as a matter of fact. I was told it would limit me. I don't know if this will have a positive or negative effect on how anyone else sees the hero and the heroine. What I do know is that you, the fans, asked and I feel obligated to respond to your loyalty as readers by complying to your requests.
You be the judge. Tell me what you think by leaving a comment
after you have viewed the photos... and Enjoy!

Creatura International Giveaway on my Blog
Hiya! I've been getting a lot of requests for signed copies of Creatura, and I wish I could send one to every last one of you. But it's impossible for me to mail so many copies worldwide with the cost for shipping being so high. I can't bring myself to choose only a few people to give copies to because all of you have offered me so much support. In my mind, it just wouldn't be fair to choose one out of so many. Hence, I've decided to hold another giveaway and leave it to Lady Luck to choose. I hope you have fun with the 25 point entry option. I can't wait to see your fan art, videos and crafts. In the infamous words of Effie Trinket (The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins) "May the odds be ever in your favor!"Here's the link:

BLURB:
Isis can control her dreams. Or she could—until recently. The creature in her nightmares has been haunting her for months. As if being dumped wasn’t bad enough, now she dreads going to sleep. She decides to confront the creature and win back some of her peace; only, she finds that he’s not a monster and he’s not a dream.
A sacrifice for love, a shocking discovery and a jealous ex-boyfriend blur the lines between reality and dreams, making it hard to tell who the real monsters are.
Who would’ve known…that sometimes love is lethal?
