Blurb:
This is a self published, sci-fi fantasy book set in an ancient
universe. Four destined characters run into each other by chance and
discover their pasts connect them in a prophecy to destroy some of the
universes most gruesome creatures. The mystery of Aniah's past begins to
unravel when she meets a stranger in the desert outside her ranch on
the planet Delucia. Strange things start to happen around the ranch and
Aniah experiences horrible nightmares of a dark creature the longer this
stranger stays and the more she begins to question her fathers
disappearance years ago. This story takes you to other worlds and
although the first novel offers a little more romance and mystery with
some thriller, the other novels in the series have more action and
adventure in them as the characters travel the universe and visit
incredible worlds. Sample from the book: There is something frightening
about the way a hateful, unknown creature looks back at you. The way its
beady red eyes snarl at you, and it's cheek curls with a hiss to reveal
the greedy canines beneath. It is one thing to dream of this beastly
creature, and it is another to have it inches from your face, its warm
ungodly breath on your cheek, and its pallid gray bones reaching to
devour you. My name is Aniah, and once my world was safe. But like many
others throughout the universe-and here on the planet Delucia-fate would
have me meet with the Mangitori de Sangue; an ancient army of
blood-lusting creatures who have been frightening and devouring the
inhabitants of the universe for decades. My fate brings me deep into
their world. In fact, it is written somewhere-and the stories have been
told long before I was ever born-of a prophecy wherein a young woman
with the heart and soul of an angel will lead the universe in a victory
against the Mangitori de Sangue. I am that woman. I just have to stay
alive long

I
followed the cuts and bruises up his olive skin, washing and dressing
his arms, only slowing when I moved curiously to his chest. I lingered
there, marveling at the masculine features. He was still very thin from
being without food or water for months, but his muscles were clearly
defined under his tan skin, which had more luster than I had remembered
in the desert. Unlike before, his skin pulled tight against the muscle
that had developed over days and showed no inadequacy. The Questerian
tribe here was sort of diminutive in stature. I had never seen someone
so big and so perfectly formed and sculpted. I continued across his
sturdy chest, dabbing the damp rag more carefully. As I moved up his
chest, I noticed a necklace tied loosely around his strong neck. It was
constructed of some kind of leather, I gathered by the smell of the
strung hide strap. It knotted at the end, and twisted around a tiny
black fang about the size of my small finger. I couldn’t help but notice
the mysteriousness of the trinket and I lifted it carefully into my
hand. The claw was sharp against the tip of my finger and it pricked the
soft skin, drawing a small drop of blood.
Suddenly, the feel of the air turned sharp and cold and sent shivers
down my spine. I began to feel as if I was being watched, as if some
unfamiliar and intense eyes were on me. I lifted my head and gasped when
my eyes met with his. Their dark copper drew me in. They were
astounding and illuminating; their color seemed to burn like fire. The
walls around me closed in till there was nothing more impelling. I
dropped the necklace, transfixed by the stunning distraction, and found
myself staring. His eyes reflected the color of the copper moon at dusk.
About the Author:
At only the age of three, you could find Emma perched in the center
of the dining table, a tape player in her lap, while the other kids
gathered to listen to her recite her own creative version of her
favorite tales like "Jack and The Bean Stalk" or "Peter Pan". Her
imagination was fueled when she signed up for a high school Greek
Mythology class. It was there in high school Mythology class that Emma
found her dream. Her teacher recognized her talent, and encouraged her
to pursue a career in the one thing that brought her imagination to
life, writing. As a military wife and with life's fast pace and
strenuous demands, it wasn't until she was 26 that she finally decided
to pursue those long forgotten dreams. She started her very first novel
Propheticus in November of 2008, which will be released in December of
2010 and is working on the 2nd and 3rd sequels, with several other book
ideas on the shelf waiting to be dusted off and put into words.
