Forgive me if i'm repeating myself/whether with this account or a colleague's.<br /><br />Dawn of Steam: First Light is an alternate-history/emergent Steampunk epistolary novel. Unlike most Steampunk, it is set not at the height of the Victorian era, but in what we would call the Regency. In this alternate timeline, they don't call it that: after George III's 'Unfortunate Airship Accident,' there was no need for a legal regency. But though they may call it just the reign of George IV, the letters and journal entries which tell the story are written in 'Regency' style to us. In a timeline without Lewis and Clark, when people of the Victorian Steampunk era compile history, this particular airship expedition and the men and women who participated loom large. There's a lot of 'real world' history closely interlinked: the Year Without a Summer of 1815-6, the storm that made Long Island an island, etc. It's definitely science fiction, though. Napoleon was not, in our own timeline, brought down with dirigibles and a 19th-century version of Iron Man.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504682093931708794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-11205846816766081692014-12-13T18:22:27.253-05:002014-12-13T18:22:27.253-05:00hahaha, what's up with me and the typos?!

A romance story, of course.<br /><br />Lucy is a strong woman who simply has bad luck. Bradley's a man who is private and wants someone to spend time with. For two years, their arrangement is straightforward, but then, everything changes. Ha, when doesn't it?!<br /><br />But it's not all sweet, there's a little heat, and you will probably just.

In When Love Comes, you will meet Hannah and Luke and share their journey. Once wild and impulsive, Hannah shut her heart off to love and adventure after her parents died. <br /><br />Burned once before, Luke Winters has committed himself to nothing but casual dalliances with women. Rugged, handsome and sexy, Luke finds no shortage of women happy to oblige. When Hannah and Luke meet, their attraction is instant. Both fight the depth of their feelings—love is not part of the plan. <br /><br />I lived in Alaska for over a decade and writing this allowed me to delve into that amazing setting. This story is a sweet, steamy romance with emotional depth.<br />J.H.

Wanting to wait for her, Ben joined the Bureau of Investigation. As an agent, he could travel back to earth disguised as a human - except Ben never found his wife despite years of searching for her. On the verge of giving up hope, Ben learns his wife’s soul was found in seventeen-year old, Emma Bennett. Knowing she is about to face a life-changing event, Ben goes undercover as a high school student to be there for her in the aftermath of this tragedy. But pretending to be a teenager isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, and when duty calls, Ben has to put his love life on hold.<br /><br />Aftermath is told in altering points of view. Experience Ben’s world, and at the same time see how Emma starts over – in a new school and state. When Emma meets Ben, she immediately falls for him. But when Ben seems distracted, Emma starts hanging out with the school’s bad boy. <br /><br />Will two soulmates reconnect again?

My book is Kindling Flames-...I’ll try my luck too. <br />My book is Kindling Flames-Gathering Tinder and it isn’t your average blood sucking vampire book. I warn you, this book will suck you in and leave you looking for the next one. <br />The werewolves of Brenton are having trouble with something setting fire to parts of the city. Unable to stop it on their own, they seek out the help of the most powerful vampire in the area, Darien Ritter.<br />Darien is a vampire in a bit of denial. Instead of reveling in the world of the night like most, he has built a massive empire in the business world. He enjoys the challenges of the corporate world and keeps everything in line with the help of his new personal assistant, Victoria Westernly. Fortunately, Darien hides his true nature very well.<br />Troubles come when the alpha werewolf shows up at Darien’s office and begs him to take the cities woes to the Vampire Council of Brenton. Reluctantly, he agrees. <br />Now, Darien has to find some way to convince the vampires to let go of their hatred for the wolves and help to stop what is hurting the city. And poor Vicky, unaware of anything supernatural, gets taken along for the ride. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601384556853730734noreply@blogger.com
