Anela Bay ~ Book Three ~ Evolution by Cheryl L. Hyde

Passions soar, sex ignites, and romance blossoms amid mercenary assaults, ancient warriors, and dramatic rescues. As secrets and destinies reveal themselves, life is never dull or predictable for Kaylie and Max. But, reality and destinies can be tricky. An unknowing slip in time could change the destinies of Kaylie and Max, as well as the world we know.

Life for Kaylie and Max is never dull or predictable, as secrets and destinies reveal themselves. But, reality and destinies can be tricky. Is reality the future world the strange ancient, Kahu, prophesizes or is it the one Kaylie and Max envision? Neither Kaylie nor Max has a romantic entanglement planned, but sometimes fate intervenes and love takes over. Moving forward to the next level, they are falling hard for each other, while at the same time running from, or maybe unwittingly towards their divine destinies.



Embarking on an unforgettable, romantic fantasy, Kaylie and Max are surrounded by luxury and temptations. Passions soar and sparks ignite, blazing hotly. The real world, and all its unreasonable expectations, disappears until it is only the two of them, wrapped in their hot, steamy island paradise. Together they are otherworldly, reading each other's minds, sharing thoughts and feelings, creating an engaging relationship. Once awakened, their passion is irresistible not that either has the slightest inclination to cease what they so enthusiastically enjoy!



Mythical fantasies usually don't last forever and soon Kaylie and Max find themselves rudely thrust back into reality. Celebrations and extravagant chartered jets intermingle—coalesce—with high seas combatant assaults, brazen rescues, tough Army Rangers, foreign assassins, and ancient—yes, ancient—warriors.



As Kaylie and Max explore their destinies, life, and love, they discover that sometimes one can know too much about another. Mind sharing with a close friend can be as intimate as thought transference with a lover. Seeking answers, they unearth a connection between the Rainbow Thread and the thirteenth moon and how both relate to time direction and interdimensional travel. An unknowing slip in time could change the destinies of Kaylie and Max, as well as the world we know. Is this their new normal?



Can Kaylie and Max overcome the many obstacles and roadblocks that threaten their emerging near-perfect love? Follow them on their grand journey, while they wrestle with the logical to accept the incredible.

About Cheryl L. Hyde

I grew-up on a farm in the heart of America—we worked hard and played hard. I was riding horses shortly after learning to walk—I skipped the boring crawling stage. :-) Animals were, and still are, my constant companions.



I started writing stories as a youngster under a shade tree in the pasture, my horse close by munching grass. The stories were just for me—a young girl's imagination running free. I am still a farm girl at heart.



For as far back as I can remember I have loved writing, creating, and telling stories. Surrounded by the love of my family and my numerous and unique relatives provided me with lots of ideas for plots and characters. I like happy-ever-after endings—even though life throws you curves from time to time.



I find pretty much all of life interesting—it seems there is never enough time in any given day to do all I want to get done! My interests are pretty diversified—animals, acting, fitness, painting, writing, gardening, hiking, reading... I am back in the saddle, so to speak, with writing.



I published my first indie book in 1997, combining two of my passions—fitness and writing—not a fiction book. I loved the freedom and control of publishing my own book. I connected with each of my customers and made some money while having fun. After a publisher convinced me to let them do the publishing, marketing, advertising, etc. I discovered I missed the control and overall satisfaction I had had with the book. Also, I missed the revenue—I made more as an indie author!



I am currently writing a series of novels about the adventures of two new adults, discovering life doesn't always go as planned. Sometimes the best adventure is the one you never considered or dreamed about—until it happens. Max and Kaylie, although fictional, have a life of their own and are writing their story as it progresses. I am merely taking notes and sharing their adventures and growing romance with their fans.

After Cilmeri Boxed Set: Daughter of Time/Footsteps in Time/Winds of Time/Prince of Time by Sarah Woodbury

This boxed set includes the first four books in the After Cilmeri series: Daughter of Time (prequel), Footsteps in Time (book 1), Winds of Time (1.5 novella), and Prince of Time (book 2). The After Cilmeri series is the story of a family catapulted in time to save the medieval kingdom of Wales.

This bundle includes the first four books in the After Cilmeri series: Daughter of Time (prequel), Footsteps in Time (book 1), Winds of Time (1.5 novella), and Prince of Time (book 2).



Daughter of Time: Llywelyn and Meg, a medieval man with an uncertain destiny and a modern woman with a troubled past. Only by working together can they navigate the shifting allegiances that threaten the very existence of Wales–and create their own history that defies the laws of time.



Footsteps in Time: In December of 1282, English soldiers ambushed and murdered Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, the Prince of Wales. His death marked the end of Wales as an independent nation and the beginning of over seven hundred years under the English boot.



Footsteps in Time is the story of what might have happened had Llywelyn lived.



And what happens to the two teenagers who save him.



Winds of Time: No travel is simple for Meg, not even a commuter flight, and especially not when she finds herself in the Middle Ages again instead of in a plane crash on a mountain side in Oregon. Meg will need every last bit of maturity she gained in her years in the modern world to survive even a day in this one.



Prince of Time: David and his man-at-arms, Ieuan, find themselves alone and on the run from a company of English soldiers who’ve sworn vengeance for the recent death of their king. Meanwhile, Llywelyn lays on his deathbed from a traitor’s arrow. And once again, it is David and Anna, and all they represent, that holds the key to the survival of Wales.

Angel of Chaos by Debra Dunbar

Samantha Martin didn’t want the title of Iblis and all the hellish responsibility that comes with it. She sure as heck didn’t want these feathery angel wings permanently affixed to her back– although those have their perks. She especially doesn’t want all the extra projects the Ruling Council keeps dumping on her plate.

As if that weren’t enough chaos for an imp, the angels finally find proof that werewolves are Nephilim—the descendants of fallen angels. An entire race is facing extinction and their only hope for salvation is an angel from Hel.

About Debra Dunbar

After majoring in English Literature with a concentration in Medieval and Folklore studies, Debra promptly sold out to the corporate world, occasionally dabbling in writing marketing copy and op/ed articles for a local city paper. By day, she designs compensation programs, after dark she stuffs her nose into obscure mythology, and feverishly writes her novels. A DEMON BOUND is her debut novel.

Debra lives on a farm in Maryland with Sweetie, three sons, and a Noah’s ark of four legged family members. Unlike her protagonist, she drives an old PT Cruiser, couldn’t carry a tune if you duct taped it to her back, and enjoys an occasional cosmopolitan (heavy on the vodka). On a good day, she jogs and horseback rides, hopefully managing to keep the horse between herself and the ground. Her only known super power is ‘Identify Roadkill’.
