and last but not least...
13. Being able to get paid to do something while sitting on my ass. (usually at the top of anyone's list)
 Until next time...

The Propehcy

By Tianna Xander

Excerpt:

A slight movement in the corner startled her and she shivered with fear. Swallowing thickly, she tried to talk around the giant lump in her throat. “Is someone there?” She sat up, pulled the sheet up to her chest and squinted into the darkness, trying to see around the shadowy shapes she knew was her furniture. The sound of breathing from the corner made her heart pound faster.

Brianna’s hands fisted in her sheets, she hadn’t been this frightened in her own bedroom for years. The old fears and insecurities rose up, bound her to the bed, making it nearly impossible to move. She was torn between running and pulling the covers up over her head like a frightened child.

She inhaled sharply when a person stepped from the shadows, even opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Reaching for her throat, she wanted to claw at the slim column and force it to comply. She tried again, still nothing.

Is this another dream? The intruder stepped fully into the moonlight and she could see him, or her, very clearly now. Whatever it was, it couldn’t possibly be human. It was tall and thin, with long silver hair and long pointy ears. Brianna resisted the urge to giggle. Hysterics were not an option. She needed to keep her wits about her.

“I would appreciate it if you did not think of me as an it or as a female.” The creature straightened. “I am Larin of the Fey. Messenger of Morgaine.”

I have a new release at Devinedestinies.com. It should be posted around midnight or so. It’s a bit different than the stories I usually write. It’s a science fiction fantasy including wiccans, faeries and people from other worlds. Check it out.

Blurb:

Niklas Voortag, High King of Terrna lives his life for his people. His own needs are unimportant. Driven by the words of an ancient prophecy, he searches far and wide for the woman who can save his world. Now that he's found her, can she also save his heart?

Kidnapped from her world and everything she knows, Brianna O'Neill finds that she is The One bound to save an entire world. A trip through space, an acquaintance with a faery and an ancient sorcerer was never at the top of her list. Now she must come to terms with the fact that she is the only one with the power to thwart an evil plan.

Niklas must save his world with nothing more than an ancient prophecy to guide him. 

The Prophecy:

And yea shall she possess the Heart of Terrna. The very stone I have created to carry that which is mine.
Yet the stone shall not be the salvation of Terrna, only
she who possesses it. Find the woman who possesses the Heart of Terrna and ye shall find the savior of your world.

The people of Terrna will serve her as Queen, for she shall be Queen. Bound to the rightful Heir, she shall prevent the cataclysm, caused by the death of the sister, Tomar. If the rightful Heir should find her quickly she shall have the power to reverse the death of the sister and all will be right with the world.

Shall she find happiness with the Heir; the world shall see peace for one thousand generations. Shall she find unhappiness; peace shall last only as long as she lives.
The gathering of evil is upon us. The others of the Sorcerers Guild of Nasha will entrap the evil while I make my escape to protect that, which one-day will save the world.

Yea the legends be true, for I have seen it, so shall it be.

First of all, I hope each and every one of you had a wonderful Holiday Season no matter what you believe. I wish you all a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

Now for the news:

Today, I'm going to continue work on First Caress, book 1 of the Kinross Triad series Bonnie Rose Leigh and I just started. I also plan to work on my new WIP that I posted here a few days ago. I'm still calling it Sensual Selection but I may change the title later on when I get a better idea about how things will go down in the storyline.

The new Kinross series is about a clan of were-beings who are slowly becoming extinct and what they do to prevent it. It's a ménage for all of you out there who love them and for all of you who love to read the ménages that Bonnie and I write together.

We've also started on the newest installment of the Narian Rebirth series. It's as yet untitled but should be finished soon. When it will be available will be up to the publisher.

I also have what onr of my publishers calls a mainstream fantasy romance that should release February 1st at Devine Destinies. It's a full length novel titled, The Prophecy. I'll post a blurb later. It's about a lonely Wiccan who casts a spell to draw the perfect mate for herself, the man who comes for her and the adventure they have after they meet. It's not my first full length novel but it is my longest at over 90 thousand words. It was also the second novel I ever completed. 

For now I'd better get ready to get myself to my day job.

Until next time…
