No! Pirated file sharing IS NOT like reading the book for free at the library. It's like taking that book home, making tons of photocopies of it, and then giving those out to whoever. It is Illegal and the same goes for E-books!!!!

I have been writing and storytelling ever since I was able to hold a pen. When I spent time working as a teacher with children of varying ages I was fascinated by the awesome power of words to excite and inspire the young mind. The art of Storytelling is what makes a good teacher great.

My degree in History with an emphasis on Ancient Near East, and my personal interest in world myths, combined with my fieldwork...more

Jasmine Ok, when is the final book due to come out. And are you planning on putting it out in two parts too. And if so, please tell me your not going to put one part out and then have to wait a year later to read the other part. Cause that would about drive me nuts.


Shelley (Bella) Thanks for adding me, AJ! :)


Judith (Judith'sChoiceReads) Your book looks incredible and I can't wait to read it! Thanks so much for the add :D

Hi Lorre, I will try and do it- believe it or not I wasn't the one that added the Kindle edition on here, so it might take me some time to figure it out... but I'm on it. Hope you are enjoying it-Best, AJS

Thanks for the add, I'm blushing here over you wanting to read more of my reviews. Thanks. I look forward to chatting to you ;)"


I blush when people love my book- it's been out for about 7 months and I still can't get used to it. It's my first and I wondered if for some reason everyone was going to hate it (thank God they don't)
so I guess we're the same! We are blushers!


Kiki Dufoulon Hiya A!!
Thanks for the add, I'm blushing here over you wanting to read more of my reviews. Thanks. I look forward to chatting to you ;)

Hi and Thank You! I hope it won’t disappoint you :)

The only thing that I have learnt to tell readers is that it is a LONG book. Because on numerous times I got e-mails of ‘where’s the action’ by those who were used to reading more POP type shorter books.

This is a saga and a coming of age story as much as it is a suspenseful paranormal Romance. I put my heart and soul into this book and the historical research has taken me years. (I am currently pursuing a Masters in ancient Near East Archaeology) It was very important for me to take my time and present believable characters. I knew that many of my readers would be younger-as a past teacher; I analyzed every sentence and every action taken by the characters ;)

On print it's about 500 pages but in reality it should be closer to 700- I wanted to keep down the printing price to keep the book affordable. Of course I also got complaints that the book wasn’t long enough by those who didn’t want it to end =) I guess 198,000 words wasn't enough!
I hope you give Pulse of Heroes a chance and know that I am almost done with the second installment!


Jolene Thanks for the friend request and I'm so intrigued with Pulse of Hero's. Sounds like an amazing read
