- I Remember December
on Jan. 03, 2012
A touching and enduring short story about a young boy and remembrance of his life with his loving grandparents.A touching story that brought tears to my eyes at the very end. This young boy was blessed in the fact that his grandparent's we so involved in his life and the impact that they left once gone. I was fortunate enough to say goodbye and be there with my grandmother when she passed on as she was my best friend and I was blessed with the chance to say goodbye and that it is important to do so.I spoke chatted and told her all the things I wanted her to know and that I loved her and wanted to be here for he in the end. So ,I know how the author felt regretting as a young boy that he never got that chance you feel that you have unfinished business.I myself would have felt the same.Grandparents play and important part in our every day lives and this author seemed to have a wonderful and loving relationship with his grand-parents where he should feel very blessed as the kids growing up today could care less and they are missing out on so much.
- Vultar's Heart, Body and Soul Mate Part 1

Wow ! What a beginning to a new series. Even though this was a short story it has a lot going on.Vultar’s Heart, Body and Soul Mate part 1, is the first segment. I thoroughly enjoyed this book; it was funny, exciting with a little romance. Typically this is not the type of book I read only because I find books of that genre are hit or miss for me.But, I have say that from the beginning I was hooked on the plot. The characters were half human half alien and should be frightening no? In war the are warriors and when they are among there kind and mates these rough and tough warriors are endearing and big pussy cats with a big hearts.They excepted Setiana with upon arms as there fathers mate and protected her almost giving there lives.Is seems as though these creatures have some sort of healing abilities also. We will just have to explore to find out all there capable of. The Mind reading abilities they have a remarkable thing as the speak to one another through there minds and read thoughts without having to speak them. Can you say shields! Some getting used to but, doesn't seem to bother Setiana to much.Upon finishing this, I wanted to know what happens next! Can't wait for part two. A fresh new engaging twist.
- Desire And Fate Part 1

My Thoughts.... Wow action packed from the beginning.Half-human and half-dragon beings invade a village and wipe out them all except Hannah.Ozonar there leader has always wanted Hannah as he watched her from afar. He planned on this human girl being is True and final life-mate.No plan goes as planned all those people were not suppose to die and to top it off they just killed her husband.There is a lot of resentment built up with others the clan. Danger lurks there as Ozonar will need to protect her form the others and from the jealousies of the women of that clan.He is the chief and what he says goes anyone tries to harm her and they will be killed no questions asked. He means it!For such a short story there was a lot packed into it and I was sorry to see it end.It was a different twist to come up with the have dragon half human characters as I love Dragons in was in from the start.The hardened warrior was deadly but, yet sweet and protective to Hannah. Ozonar son welcomed his mate with open arms.At least she has someone on her side.There journey is not going to be an easy one but, I am definitely in for the long haul to see what happens. Can't wait!
