  Carnelian (a YA/NA paranormal novel) - winter 2014

  Mari had dreams that college would be a new beginning. One where she would start over and not fall for the good looking player. Unfortunately for her, that is exactly what ends up falling into her lap on the first day she moves into the dorms. She has to try to not fall for the handsome Seth, but he doesn’t plan to make it easy for her. Seth has already marked her as his next conquest. As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might just have a past of his own, one that is literally in the past. Not only that, but Seth might not be the only one from the past in her life. If Mari can trust him enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a lifetime and reveal family secrets she never knew existed.

  Day Human Prince (YA paranormal- Legend of the Blue Eyes spin off) - winter 2014

While Devin would like to concentrate on helping the night human world transition to a new world, he needs to take care of some unfinished business first. Vanessa McKinny has promised she knows a way to undo the bond she placed on him to save his life. Once the bond is undone, Devin might have time to get back to finding his new goal in life, or maybe he’ll discover that Nessa was meant to be his goal all along.

  Acknowledgements

  As with any work of fiction, there are many people to thank along the way.

  To you, the reader. Thank you for taking the time to read this story and go on the journey with me and Arianna. If you liked it, please leave a review on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, your own blog, my blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc. The greatest help you can do to keep a writer going is to support them by spreading the word about their books and leaving them encouraging words. If you were really inspired, join my mailing list to get updates first on my current and future writings.

  Also I would like to thank my editor and cover designer. A good editor is essential to getting the story correct. Thank you so much, Kathie, for catching all those errors. I will be working hard to better my writing through seeing everything that I have to work on. Thankfully she can catch everything to make this a better novel for everyone else to read. Thanks also to Ashton Brammer for the second edit to this book even better. Thanks to B. for going over every last page to catch any little error I didn’t correctly fix. A thank you to Ravven for such a pretty cover. She again designed a beautiful cover that brings people into the book. A great cover helps get people interested. They may say never judge a book by its cover, but everyone does! I greatly appreciate all those that can do what I cannot, like editors and cover designers. I am grateful I was able to find great professionals to work with on this book.

  I’d also like to thank my hubby for continuing to push me further down the writing road. He gives me time when I need it to work on my stories. He encourages me to keep going each and every day on this adventure. And he does all the behind-the-scenes effort to make this work. This would be so much harder without his help. So thank you, B. for pushing me off the deep end (or the cliff as I see it sometimes). And a great big thanks to my little ones who keep me going from before the sun comes up ‘til long after it sets. Love you AK and KB.

  Summary:

  Arianna has gathered the outside clans to decide her fate in marriage. A tournament will be held, and she is the prize, whether she wants to be or not. The only thing for her to do is watch the clan leaders fight over her, or is it? Thanks to her team’s well-made plans, Arianna has other strategies in place. Hopefully one of those plans will earn her freedom.

  As the contestants gather and she learns more about the night human world, there are new allies to keep close and more enemies to keep even closer. Some even hold more secrets to her legend and possibly the actual reason to her existence. Now Arianna must decide what to do with the fate she has been dealt. The time has come to step out of the shadows of the men who protect her, and into her own power. The time is now for Arianna to take control, and fight for the destiny she wants to live.
