Please welcome Amy Lignor today


As we sit here in our favorite library, my partner and I have to look at this lady and wonder why she chose us to write about? My name is Matt, I’m a warrior. Beside me, sits Emily. She’s a little quiet. I think she’s worried about what she’s about to hear…

Amy…why us? Why now?

Well, Matt. As you know, you’ve been stuck in my head for a long time. Remember? When I was 13, I started thinking about you - angels, I mean. You were my guide. You were the one I saw in my dreams when I was struggling. You told me about your training, and even showed me around some of the rooms - including this cool library. When my father passed away a few years ago you came again, and that’s when I realized that the world should know about you both, and how different you are from all the rest.

I know there are a lot of books about angels out there, so what makes us different?

Because you’re not ‘fallen.’ (Emily sighs) You may be tormented right now, Emily, but your story will show you how much you gained from coming out of a perfect world into our imperfect one. When you and Matt were up here you were training for a job. And you, the angel, had your work cut out for you when you were placed down below to make things right. You were both so new and fresh and wanted that taste of freedom that every teenager wants. So, it was a real adventure to be able to see you keep your faith in each other in a world that was attempting to rip you apart.

I like it down there but Emily’s getting a bit “hardened” to the whole idea of coming back. Are we?

Yes, Matt. You and Emily have much farther to go. You’ll have to play the roles of defender, guide, protector - even judge and jury when it comes to you, the warrior. There are a lot of journeys you and the people you met still have to take.

Speaking of that…(Matt sits up in his chair, as a bit of fire appears in his eyes.) I like some of the people we met - Faith and Charles were great! But, why did Jason have to be there?

Well…Emily has a bit of an issue, Matt. She loves you, of course. You’re her soul mate up here; you’re her partner and you were ‘made’ to be a team. But Emily has a soul mate down there, too. And she’s going to have a real tough job in front of her trying to figure out what she’s going to do about that.

Will she choose him…?

I can’t tell you that Matt. That’s up to Emily

(Emily jumps in, trying her best to stop her partner from continuing on this track.) People are talking about the cover a lot - even up here - why am I the one on it?

In this tale, you and Matt both had the scrapes, cuts, and damage from the humans you ran up against. The envy, anger, secrets, lies - everything came at you at once. But your heart, and not your power, was the thing you used in order to get through it. That’s why you’re on the cover, because your innocence was tested. You had to experience life, and in order to have the good, both of you figured out that you had to take the bad.

So you’re going to tell everyone what we’ve done?

I have to. Readers will want to feel the fire from the training pit; see the romance spark; and they’ll want to see the mistakes you make along the way. But they’ll also be routing for you, and will really want to find out how the adventure comes to an end.

You’ve written our next story, right?

Yes. You were kind enough to share your next trip, and I wanted to make sure readers saw what you did in your ‘gilded’ time on earth. It was extremely exciting.

And then?

We’ll have to wait and see. Until Next Time…


Until Next Time: The Angel Chronicles, Book 1 Summary
How does a girl choose between the one who steals her heart and the one who owns her soul?
Matt and Emily were created for a specific job. Raised and trained as the ultimate angel/warrior team, they are sent down to save, defend, judge and forgive, depending on the 'life' they've been assigned. What they don't realize is that the power of human emotions, such as love, anger, passion and fear can take over even the best of souls, causing them to make mistakes and follow paths that lead to confusion and heartache.
When the reason for their training is finally revealed, the angel/warrior team find themselves thrust into a world they know nothing about. Matt takes over the life of Daniel, a young man with a great deal of baggage. Emily becomes Liz, a girl living in a remote village who relies on nothing more than her own strength to survive. A violent storm erupts one night, and framed in the window of Liz's establishment is a frightening face. Let in by the soul of a Good Samaritan, the two visitors bring with them a past full of secrets that could literally change an angel's path and a warrior's plans.
From murder to redemption, this angel/warrior team must find a way to keep the faith they have in each other in a world that's ripping them apart.

The Review of Amber's Book


KISS ME SLOWLY
Amber Lea Easton

BookStrand
Contemporary, Romantic Suspense
94,228 words
Spicey.

Book provided and review requested by author

Review: The first four words of this novel set the tone for the whole story. Every word offered has been chosen with care and not one of them is overwritten. If you are looking for a quick read, then not only the length but the content of this book will not give it to you.

This is a book to savour; to take into a corner and read without interruption, but not one to be rushed. In her debut novel Amber Lea Easton provides a quality of writing and story content many writers strive for. Her characters are full bodied, three dimensional, with their faults, their dreams and their goals. And as is the way with any good story, and this is a good story, all those go to the wall when the author chucks in curve-balls the size of Everest.

At a time of global bank scandals, and lack of trust in the financial world, this story of illicit diamond smuggling, dirty money, false trails and a host of interested parties intent in silencing Ms. Easton’s hero, Jonathan Alexander and his ex-girlfriend, now the only person who can possibly keep him alive, Grace Dupont.

Chuck in the Florida Keys heat and sizzling romance and you have all the ingredients for a fast paced suspense romance, which Ms. Easton supplies.

For readers who enjoy suspense novels, consider this book. For those who look for romance and something more, consider this book. For those on the lookout for new author to read, then consider this book. And watch out for more from this exciting new writing star.

Please join Sara Trimble as she interviews her hero and heroine.


Sara Trimble is new to the world of publishing, though not to writing. She has one published novel, has one in the final revisions and a stack of stories ready to work on. When she isn’t writing, Sara spends her time with her three children, wonderful fiance Justyn, spending time with friends, and just enjoying life.



You can find her at her website http://www.sararimble.com , follow her blog at http://saratrimble.wordpress.com ,
She loves to hear from her readers so send her an email at saratrimble@saratrimble.com  

Today Sara interviews her main characters, Nala and Gabriel ;--
Nala how does it feel to be stalked by the man who killed your entire family?
Nala: well the danger's not so great but so far, I have to say it was worth the trip.

Gabriel, why do you get so angry about your attraction to Nala?
G: its my job to protect her. I can't do that when my hormones act like I'm a teenager.

Nala, what's your plan for defeating Broncestan?
N: I'm supposed to have a plan? I still haven't figured out how to move things with my mind.

Gabriel, what do you think of the news that you and Nala are destined to be together?
G: I'd say Fate's got it wrong for once.

Nala, how do you like living in a magical castle, with a fairy as your best friend?
N: I think it's awesome!

Gabriel, we heard you became a magical bodyguard because your teenage love was killed due to revealing her secret powers. Any comment?
G: Screw you.

Nala, what makes Gabriel so irresistable?
N: have you seen the size of his biceps? I mean, really. And he has a great butt.

BLURB:
NALA ARPAIA's life is turned upside down when she learns she has a family, and more than one secret power. Even worse is that she also has a mad man seeking to kill her. Gabriel arrives and promises to protect her. With him around, she may be safe from BRONCESTAN MILIVAK, but her heart is in danger of breaking.

GABRIEL RICARDO makes it clear from day one that he's not interested in a relationship. Despite the fact that sparks fly whenever he and Nala touch, he wants to focus on the one thing that matters to him. His job. It's too bad that Nala's determined not to let that happen. And when multiple signs point to their being together as Fate deems right, Gabriel wonders if he's fighting a losing battle.

As Broncestan's attacks get stronger, and more dangerous, Nala finds it more important than ever to experience the kind of relationship she'd always wanted, but never had. Seeing Nala suffer at the hands of a power-hungry Damned soul, Gabriel realizes keeping his distance isn't working. Soon, they give in to the passion and proclaim their love. Just when things are supposed to work out, things hit rock bottom again.

Will they ever be able to defeat Broncestan and enjoy a relationship together or are they doomed to live their lives alone and miserable?
