Giving me the evil eye doesn’t work… Two Worlds Collided @KMNbooks #timetravel #8sunday #snippetsunday,
Welcome to Snippet Sunday! This is a snippet from Two Worlds Collided. Only 99¢ for a short time. I really loved Evie and Bellamy's story. I hope you will too.
LOOKING FOR last week's SNIPPET from Chapter Two: Snippet #7
Now for Chapter Two - Body Language Snippet #8
About this snippet: We're skipping ahead a few paragraphs.
Set up for this snippet: Last week Evie tackled Bellamy to the ground in an attempt to save from jumping from the rooftop of the hotel–or so she believed.
This week: Bellamy scrambles to his feet and Leon informs him that Evie is going to be his assistant. It takes Bellamy a moment to realize what Leon means and of course he tells him, "No. Absolutely, no." Evie stands too and decides to introduce herself properly.
Now for the snippet. There are some tweaks in punctuation. Evie is speaking first.
*****************************************************************************************************************
"I'm Evie Reid," she told him and extended her hand.
He stared at her outstretched palm for a second then leveled his gaze on Leon. "I don't need a personal assistant, and especially one who thinks attacking a person is a great tactic to get to know each other." He turned on his heels, and murmured something in Romanian, which she knew he spoke since his parents were both from there. She loosely translated it as Crazy chicks are not my thing.
"Well yeah," she shouted back and then decided to play his game and spoke in Romanian too, "Good thing I'm not crazy then." Loosely translated of course, but that seemed to catch his attention for about a second. He turned around and met her gaze in what she believed was supposed to intimidate her, but she refused to look away. "Giving me the evil eye doesn't work," she said and stared back; he dropped his gaze first.
He harrumphed and grumbled something that she was sure hadn't been flattering, and continued on his way to the door that would lead him back inside the hotel.
***** ************************************************************************************************************
I believe Bellamy has met his match. What do you think? Still, it won't be easy for Evie to win him over after this introduction.
Blurb for Two Worlds Collided: (Time Travel, rating: 17+ years and older)
Evie Reid on a whim agrees to travel back in time to change bad boy Bellamy Lovel's path of destruction. She's smart with a college degree, but she is still fan-girl crazy for the rock band, Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy's smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he's destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.
Bellamy isn't keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him, and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.

Sneak Peek...
Her gaze landed once more on the letters printed on the door, stating roof access and the implications of Bellamy being up here registered as a warning bell in her mind. Dear Lord, why had they allowed such a thing in his unstable condition? Then she realized the band didn't suspect he was suicidal. They believed he had a drug and alcohol problem he was trying to kick.
Leon opened the door and they took a flight of stairs to another door and opened it. The bright sunlight blinded her at first until her vision adjusted. She spotted Bellamy standing on the ledge a few feet in front of her. Fear rose up inside of her like a tangible force that urged her to go to his rescue. Her legs carried her swiftly and her hands grabbed his dress shirt with some kind of wild print on it, and she yanked him toward her.
Bellamy's hands flew out in front of him as if to grab onto something to steady his fall. "What the–" Her cry of alarm muffled Bellamy's curse when she realized he was going to land on top of her, but at the last millisecond, Bellamy twisted, grabbing hold of her as he fell onto his back with her sprawled on top of him in an unseemly manner. Her hair had come loose from the knot at the back of her neck. Her glasses were askew on her nose and she tried to adjust them as she pulled on her blouse, which had risen above her waste. Bellamy's hot hands were on her flesh and for a moment she'd forgotten to breathe. She met his startled gaze and his lips pursed into a fine line.
"What is wrong with you, lady?" he said and shoved her away, not exactly rough but with a purpose to be as far away as possible from her.
She sat in a heap next to him, feeling a bit deflated that he didn't appreciate her attempt to help. "I was saving you," she said and lifted her chin.
"Saving me? Lady, you almost sent me tumbling over the edge."
"I most certainly did not," she sputtered. "And what were you doing up there, anyway? Who stands on a ledge and not think: Hey, I might fall to my death." She rolled her eyes and that seemed to set him off.
His nostrils flared and he looked like he wanted to say more on the matter, but then he turned toward Leon, who stood there with his arms folded against his chest and his lips appeared to be twitching as if he were holding back a full out smile.
"You need to fire the security guard," Bellamy stated, "that allowed this crazy broad up here." He flew to his feet and brushed off his white pants that were smudged with dirt from the gravel rooftop. He flipped his curly hair away from his bright and beautiful blue eyes. God, he was handsome. A lean five-foot-ten, he appeared taller than he truly was, or maybe it was because she was still sprawled at his feet.
Leon cleared his throat. "Bellamy, I want you to meet your personal assistant."
It took Bellamy a moment to realize what Leon meant, and then he shook his head. "No. Absolutely, no." He narrowed his eyes on her, and she scrambled to her feet as graceful as she could, considering how she ended up there.
"I'm Evie Reid." She extended her hand.
He stared at her outstretched palm for a second then leveled his gaze on Leon. "I don't need a personal assistant, and especially one who thinks attacking a person is a great tactic to get to know each other." He turned on his heels, and murmured something in Romanian, which she knew he spoke since his parents were both from there. She loosely translated it as Crazy chicks are not my thing.
"Well yeah," she shouted back. Then decided to play his game and spoke in Romanian too. "Good thing I'm not crazy then." Loosely translated of course, but that seemed to catch his attention for about a second. He turned around and met her gaze in what she believed was supposed to intimidate her, but she refused to look away. "Giving me the evil eye doesn't work." She stared back and he dropped his gaze first.
He harrumphed and grumbled something that she was sure hadn't been flattering, and continued on his way to the door that would lead him back inside the hotel.
"Well, that went splendidly," she muttered. "Why was he up here anyway?"
"Sorry, should have warned you. It's his thing. When we're about to begin a tour, he heads for the roof of the first hotel we stay at, to meditate and put him in the right mindset, or so he says." His shoulders lifted in a shrug. "For good luck, I guess," he added.
"And I just messed that up."
"Don't worry, I have hope he'll warm up to you. You did speak Romanian to him, right? Usually, he's thrilled."
Maybe, she thought, but not if he believed she was crazy.
About the Book:

She's smart with a college degree, but she is still fan-girl crazy for the rock band, Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy's smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he's destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.
Bellamy isn't keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him, and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.
Q&A
Q. Where did the idea for this book come from?
A. My daughter and I watched INXS live at Wembley on TV. We were sad to think the lead singer, Michael Hutchence, had died so tragically and there would never be another song written by him. The time travel tale about Bellamy Lovel took root, but I wanted a happier ending for my rock star and sent Evie back in time to try and save him.
Q. What draws you to this genre?
A. No one knows for sure if time travel is possible, but authors have sent their heroes and heroines to the past and to the future with one stroke of a pen. The idea of time travel has always intrigued me with the question of “what if?” The possibilities are endless.

Meet your personal assistant… Two Worlds Collided #timetravel @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday,
Welcome to Snippet Sunday! This is a snippet from Two Worlds Collided. Released Oct. 22! Only 99¢ for a short time. I really loved Evie and Bellamy's story. I hope you will too.

About this snippet: We're skipping ahead a few paragraphs.
In the last snippet, on the roof, Evie spotted Bellamy on the ledge and charged to his rescue. She's feeling a bit deflated that he doesn't appreciate her attempt to save his life. Bellamy accuses her of almost tumbling him over the edge. She, of course, tells him she most certainly did not try to do such a thing.
Now for the snippet. There are some tweaks in punctuation. Evie is speaking first.

SNARKOLOGY HALLOWEEN HOP- Oct 26-31 @KMNbooks
What do I love most about Halloween?
Anything paranormal! I’m a big fan. (I bet you couldn’t guess that from my books. Lol) I love the costumes and the chance to be someone else for the night—a vampire, a werewolf, a big scary monster. The list goes on. You can let your imagination soar.
This year the Halloween party I'm attending has a Rock Star theme. I'm dressing up as an obsessed INXS fan. I have my concert INXS T-shirt, backstage passes (designed from photoshop), fan buttons, and I'm going to tattoo (washable kind) a face of the Frontman and a few lyrics from their songs on my arm.
What do you think? Seemed only appropriate to dress up as an obsessed fan, since my new time travel/rock star romance, Two Worlds Collided is now available!
Just for fun...

Stake and dust is their motto, but Derek has a difficult time accepting his sworn duty when Sloane McBride, his ex-girlfriend from high school, is the one he's been sent to eliminate. Once infected from a Nosferatu bite, there is no turning back. Sloane has been bitten and she will eventually change.

About the Book:
Stake and Dust, (
Stake and Dust series, Book I)
A Lamia, a sea creature worthy of John Keats' prose, teams up with a vampire with serial tendencies. When young promising artists are found dead, the Preternatural Bureau sends Cassandra Hayes to the Hamptons to help a fellow hunter track down this lethal duo. She's only spoken to Mr. Green once on the phone and when she meets him in person, he is not what she expects. His hunting skills are spot on, but there is something the man is hiding, and she's determined to find out what it is despite the attraction developing between them.
Tremayne Graystone, a vampire from one of the oldest septs, is not pleased when he finds a dead hunter left on the doorstep of his pub. He should have never answered the hunter's phone, but someone is trying to frame him and he wants answers. Surely he can masquerade as Mr. Green, the hunter Cassandra is supposed to meet, before she figures out his true identity and stakes him. She's a Hayes, from a long line of vampire hunters, and fraternizing with the enemy is simply not done, but as they work together and follow the clues, the lines become blurred when he falls for the hunter's charms.

ABA Haunting Halloween Hop @KMNbooks #hauntinghalloween

Witch Brew and Finger Licking Treats
My friends and I love Halloween and we enjoy tea parties. So we thought of a way to combine the two by having a Witch Tea Party. We all dust off our witch hats and conjure up our favorite dish to go with our hot brew.
I made maple pecan scones in the shape of fingers and added an almond slice for the nail. They were finger-licking good – if I do say so myself. I also made pumpkin shaped cucumber sandwiches with slim slices of carrots for the eyes and mouth.
We had fun eating, drinking and chatting the afternoon away.

****Contest: Answer one or all the questions below and you'll be entered to win an eBook copy of Two Worlds Collided (18+ time travel romance) or Flower and Fangs (vampire hunter romance PG 13) Winners choice. Be sure to tell me which one you'd like to win.
****Questions: 1. Do you have a Halloween tradition? 2. Do you dress up for Halloween? 3. Do you go to a Halloween party every year or do you throw one yourself?

Talk about falling for someone… Two Worlds Collided #timetravel @KMNbooks
Welcome to Snippet Sunday! This is a snippet from Two Worlds Collided. Released Oct. 22! Only 99¢ for a short time. So excited about this release. I really loved Evie and Bellamy's story. I hope you will too.
LOOKING FOR last week's SNIPPET from Chapter Two: Snippet #5
Now for Chapter Two - Body Language Snippet #6
About this snippet: We're skipping ahead to where Evie and Bellamy officially meet.
Evie and Leon head to the roof where Bellamy is. Evie is worried as to why Bellamy is up there and is wondering why his band mates aren't concerned until she realizes they wouldn't know he was thinking of ending it all. To them, it's just Bellamy wanting some alone time.

She spotted Bellamy standing on the ledge a few feet in front of her and fear rose up inside of her like a tangible force that urged her to go to his rescue. Her legs carried her swiftly and her hands grabbed his dress shirt with some kind of wild print on it, and she yanked him toward her.
Bellamy's hands flew out in front of him as if to grab onto something to steady his fall. "What the–" Her cry of alarm muffled Bellamy's curse when she realized he was going to land on top of her, but at the last millisecond, Bellamy twisted, grabbing hold of her as he fell onto his back with her sprawled on top of him in an unseemly manner. Her hair had come loose from the knot at the back of her neck. Her glasses were askew on her nose and she tried to adjust them as she pulled on her blouse, which had risen above her waist. Bellamy's hot hands were on her flesh and for a moment she'd forgotten to breathe. She met his startled gaze and his lips pursed into a fine line.
"What is wrong with you, lady?" he said and shoved her away, not exactly rough but with a purpose to be as far away as possible from her.

Quite an introduction, don't you think? I'm sure she's made an impression but maybe not a good one. lol
Blurb for Two Worlds Collided: (Time Travel, rating: 17+ years and older)
Evie Reid on a whim agrees to travel back in time to change bad boy Bellamy Lovel's path of destruction. She's smart with a college degree, but she is still fan-girl crazy for the rock band, Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy's smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he's destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.
Bellamy isn't keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him, and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.

About the Book:
Flowers and Fangs,
Stake and Dust series, Book II
Derek Hayes and his family are preternatural hunters. Stake and dust is their motto, but Derek has a difficult time accepting his sworn duty when Sloane McBride, his ex-girlfriend from high school, is the one he's been sent to eliminate. Once infected from a Nosferatu bite, there is no turning back. Sloane has been bitten and she will eventually change.
It proves a race against time when Derek puts aside his core beliefs and teams up with Sloane. The Nosferatu wants Sloane for his own, Derek's brothers are hunting her, and every second brings Sloane closer to changing into the very fiend they want to kill.
