The Future Savior Blog Tour - Day Two! - Character Interview + Giveaway

Hey ya'll! Happy Tuesday and I'm so happy to have my good friend and fellow author Jennifer Hartz on the blog today. She's written this stellar series called the Future Savior (which I highly recommend), and today is a stop on the blog tour!

Enjoy the interview with her heroine Chistina and don't forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom :D

Before I continue my sharing my conversation with the Future Savior, Christina Vaughn, let me remind you of the two giveaways going on right now.  At the bottom of this blog you'll be able to enter to win 1 of 4 autographed copies of FS1: Conception.  The other contest is attached to my Couples of Meric blog… click the link below to enter:



I have to thank the super awesome Victoria Smith for letting me continue my interview with the Future Savior on her blog today.  If you haven't checked out Victoria's books be sure to do so!  I highly recommend her series, The Eldaen Light Chronicles.  So good!  Plus there's the hunky Gemini… hmmmmm Gemini!
Okay, if you didn't get a chance to check out the first part of my interview with the Future Savior, be sure to follow the link back to my blog and give it a look:


All right, now to continue with the interview…

***SPOILER ALERT!!! THERE BE SPOILERS HERE IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE FIRST 4 BOOKS OF THE FS SERIES***

"Wait one freakin' second," I exclaim. "Are you telling me you're dead?"

"Don't be ridiculous, of course I'm not dead," Christina replies, laughing.

"But you just said some guy named Rayliex killed you!"
"Well… I guess he technically did, but I didn't actually die.  You see, Charis sent my consciousness into the past… my seventeen-year-old self actually."  (Check out FS2: Resurrection for this story!)

"Huh?"

Christina chuckles.  "Yeah, the things that Charis can do really makes your head spin, but she did do it.  So I had to spend three days inside my seventeen year old body.  Insane!  Plus I got to see Shaw.  It was strange because he was in disguise as a kid at my high school.  Even back then when I was seventeen he was my Watcher, protecting me.

"Finally, I made it back to Meric.  Things were really heating up because Leticia was moving her armies.  Jonus, the king of the Elves, decided to send Shaw to the front lines.  Little did I know Jonus did this because he had an alternative motive.  And something truly awful happened while Shaw was away.  I had a vision of him dying during a battle.  He scarified his life to save an entire village."

"Oh no!" I gasp.  At the same moment there's a loud click and I realize my tape recorder has run out of tape.  I scrounge through my bag for a minute to retrieve another tape.  Christina waits patiently while I get ready.  "Okay, you just said Shaw died!"

Christina nods. "Yes.  I was so depressed I wanted to die.  I was nonfunctional. Time passed by in a very strange fashion.  Days dragged by at a snail's pace, but time also flew by and all of sudden a year had passed.  I tried to move on with my life without Shaw and that included Jonus."

"Jonus?  But you said he had an alternative motive."

"That's right.  Of course I didn't know it at the time.  Jonus sent Shaw away with hopes that Shaw would be killed so that Jonus could have me for himself.  Not long after I attempted to move on with Jonus, I discovered the truth and fled.  However, I was immediately attacked by Rayliex."

"Rayliex again.  So you had to fight the guy who already sort of killed you once."

"Not only that, but during my time in Verna Mount, where the Elves live, I discovered that Rayliex is actually my brother," Christina replies.

"WHAT?"

"Leticia used her power to control people's minds to seduce my father, Davis," Christina explains.

"Whoa…"

"It came as quite a shock to me as well," she snickers a little at my stunned expression.  "I was hurt really bad during the battle, but Shaw also returned."

"Wait a minute… Shaw didn't die?"

"No, he was perfectly fine.  From my vision it looked like he should have been crushed.  He was buried in tons of rocks and ruble, but he made it out with barely a scratch."

"How is that possible?" I ask. I simply cannot believe the story my strange visitor is sharing… and I can't believe I am going to be the one who gets to write this account.

"Oh, the answer to that comes later in this tale," she replies with a wide grin. "Now with Shaw back in my life we decided to get married."

"How wonderful!"

"It should have been wonderful except Shaw was keeping secrets from me.  Right when we were about to say our vows I had a vision of the past and I saw something that drove me away from Shaw… he killed my father."

To be continued on Wednesday, August 28th at the blog of Jay Morgan (aka JMO)… Click the link below:

Time can bring about many positive changes. For Ariel Richmond, getting her magical necklace to work isn’t one of them.

The year has introduced new comrades and friends, and every day they find their place within Ariel’s alliance. But Ariel herself is at a standstill. While her world advances around her, she’s forced to watch other’s successes. And as her frustrations about her progression toward leadership grow, she and Luca are driven further apart.

Luca sees Ariel’s situation, not as a hindrance, but as an unexpected strategy. Her stalemate keeps her out of battle, allowing him and her coalition to insure her safety from the world that threatens to destroy her. His constant fight to protect Ariel also acts as a shield, making it easy to distract himself from the nightmares of his past and hide his darkest secrets from the woman he loves.

As Luca hides behind his walls, Ariel is forced to become a leader on own. When a surprise from her past arrives willing to aid her, Ariel struggles between the priority of leadership and that of love.
Time ticks away and the enemy won’t wait for the Bringer of Peace to become a leader. The hunt for blood is on whether Ariel is ready or not.

The Bringer's Quest is a new adult science fiction romance.



*WARNING: SMALL "THE BRINGER'S QUEST" SPOILERS IN THE FOLLOWING BLURB!*

**Book 2.5 in The Eldaen Light Chronicles**

The details behind that infamous hookup in The Bringer’s Quest…

Gemini Maylor is bored as hell. He lost his best friend Luca to a set of long legs and a pair of breasts. Now, he’s not only shy one wingman, but finds himself feeling a way he never has before.

Lonely.

Bailey Hughes loves the quiet. But she has to admit she misses her bestie. As draining as it is to be Ariel Richmond’s best friend, Bailey finds the job oddly fulfilling. So when Ariel and her boyfriend Luca decide to devote more time to each other, Bailey finds herself left behind.

Gemini and Bailey couldn’t be more opposite. Gemini is a fiery Eldaen man with a rock star complex. And Bailey is, well, kinda average. But when the absence of their best friends brings them together, they discover a heat between them that only makes sense. The question is: Is that fire lasting?

Incandescence is a new adult romance with science fiction elements. The 50,000-word novella is not a standalone and follows The Bringer’s Quest.

**Warning: Novella contains strong language. Gemini just can’t seem to help himself.**


Blog Tour Stops!!!

Wow, where did the month go? Updates, dates, teasers, ARCs, and NA Alley!

So I blinked and it was July :P I'm so sorry about that. So I suppose I owe you some updates, yes? Here we go!

So, summer hit me hard this year. I'm currently editing the sequel to The Crimson Hunt and its sequel's companion. These are both scheduled to release August 12, 2013. The covers and GR add links are below as well as info on how to request ARCs of The Bringer's Quest for review. After release, I will no longer be accepting so make sure you request now!



Click here for a sneak peak of The Bringer's Quest on Wattpad!

Click here to request an ARC of The Bringer's Quest



Also, The Bringer's Quest's virtual book tour is scheduled during the release week. Sign ups aren't available quite yet, but I'll let you know when they are. Until then here is the blog button with the tour dates :)



So... answers to some random things you might be wondering :)



What's going on with that sequel to The Space Between?

I put it on hold so I could get out The Bringer's Quest and Incandescence. I'm actually starting on it again next week since I'll have some time while my other projects are with my editor. It's called The Dividing Line and you can add it on Goodreads here. :)

How about that cover reveal you promised for The Dividing Line?

I have the cover! It was designed once again by the amazing Sarah from Okay Creations. I assure you it will be soon. :D

How about a release date for the freaking thing, Victoria??? :P

I'm planning on a October/ November release for The Dividing Line. Provided all things go according to plan....

Can we have a teaser... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!

Fine you pulled my leg :P (This is Drake's POV by the way ;D)

Now, there was something very peculiar going on here. Lacey was in my room and had been for quite sometime. Yet, despite this fact she wasn’t in my bed and underneath me. This was a problem that needed to be corrected.

I intended to fix this problem… right now.

And because I love you here's some fun Drake and Lacey art that my graphic designer, Aminah, made for me!




And lastly, what's Incandescence about? There's no blurb on Goodreads! D:

It is about a special couple in The Bringer's Quest. (So spoilers there) BUT I will have it available once the tour information comes up which should be very soon.

-------------

So I think that's it. I'm so sorry I've been away. Between my edits and the #NACrushTourney on NA Alley blog I've been swamped. I am over on NA Alley today talking about self-publishing in the digital age, though, so feel free to stop by. 



Also, the NA Crush Tourney is still in full swing. And we have a few more rounds before it's over. Click on the banner to catch up and join in on the voting. 



Laters! I'll try to blog a few more times this month. Heart you all!

The Charge Blog Tour Stop!

 photo 1f05a5bc-4ea0-4fe5-8c0b-f9f487086b90_zpsf1319e8a.jpg

Hey everyone! The Twenty Something Fiction Writer is a stop on The Charge blog tour! Check out the except of this hot new release :-)

The Charge
By: Sharon Bayliss
Genre: New Adult Dystopian Romance
Publisher: Curiosity Quills Press
Release Date: March 2, 2013
Buy Now: Amazon | BN

When King of the Texas Empire kidnaps Warren's brother, Warren embarks into a still Wild West to save him. On his journey, he makes a discovery that changes his life forever—he and his brother are long-lost members of the Texas royal family and the King wants them both dead.

He gets help from an activist Texan named Lena, who's itching to take on the King and happens to be a beautiful firecracker Warren can't stay away from. Convincing her he's not one of the bad guys becomes harder when a mysterious energy stirs in his body, turning his brain into a hive of emotions and memories—not all his own.

A legacy of violence is not all he inherited from the brutal Kings of Texas. The myth that the royal family possesses supernatural powers may not be myth at all.

Gone are the days when choosing a major was a big deal. Now Warren must save his brother and choose whether or not to be King, follow a King, or die before he can retire his fake ID.




Excerpt:

Lena agreed with the people who hated Texans on one count—Texans were like cockroaches, but only because they didn't go down easy. Texans survived everything. And they never forgot . . . anything. Remember the Alamo. Remember Goliad. Remember the Mexican-Texan War. Remember the Gold War. And so on and so forth. Texans stayed alive no matter what, through many years of devastating economic depression, countless natural disasters, and nine wars, including the Texas Civil War, the First and Second American-Texan Wars, and then, finally, a catastrophic bombing of their capital fourteen years ago. If that meant they were like cockroaches, Lena could live with that. Cockroaches existed long before the humans and would probably exist long after. As the saying went, "At the end of time, all that's left will be cockroaches and Texans."
The Texas Empire had only one rightful destiny, freedom from the tyranny of Wilde royal family as an independent democratic nation, and Lena planned to live to see it happen. In fact, she would make damn well sure of it. She didn't care that as an eighteen-year-old girl just out of the foster care system, she looked like she belonged behind a pair of pom-poms instead of behind a podium. In fact, all this worked to her advantage. People saw her as a sad, sweet, little orphan. She used this quality to sneak up on big bad people her whole life, and recently it had paid off big time.
The Texas Freedom Campaign chose her as one of their spokespeople, a group of camera-friendly young people with tear-jerking stories of survival who toured the United States getting support for their home nation. Which meant she now got to work for the TFC and earn an impressive college scholarship. In the fall, she would study Political Science, with a minor in History, at the University of Virginia.
Lena rubbed her bare arms. Her tank top and flip-flops made her self-conscious. She considered herself a political figure, not a lost college co-ed. With all her big talk though, right now, she had to admit that more than air conditioning had caused goose bumps to erupt all over her arms. Lena didn't know why the arrogant-looking guy in the black suit had called her safe; that couldn't be further from the truth.
The United States government and most of its people considered her a dangerous radical, but that didn't bother her much anymore. The Blue Scare hatemongering of the twentieth century had led many people, especially the stupid ones, to believe horrible things about Texas; many thought that cattle would do a better job running a free nation than Texans. That hate ran off her skin like water. But last week, a whole new enemy came into her life—the only people less in favor of a free, democratic Texas than the United States—the Wildes. The TFC wanted to help a forgotten territory build a democratic government, but now the movement seemed like a revolution against the Texas monarchy, and historically, those ended . . . poorly. Lena liked nothing more than taking down the big, bad guy . . . the bigger and badder, the better . . . but taking down the King? She loved a challenge, but she also wanted to live to see nineteen.
