Book Description:
I've been hiding from the Guild since I was born.
If they knew about my magic, they would kill me in a heartbeat.
I should be avoiding them, but instead, I enter the Guild as a regular human recruit.
Why?
Papa went missing after a mission, and I need answers.
I realize I might have bitten off more than I can chew when my new instructor is the guy I kissed a few months before.
It doesn't seem like Cade recognizes me without my disguise, but if he does and blows the whistle, I'm as good as dead and so is Papa.
Amazon


Excerpt:
I observed him as we circled each other, looking for openings. He didn’t give any telltale signs that I could use to guess what his gift was. He wasn’t trying to take off any clothing, so I could disregard shifting. He also wasn’t pulling any elements out of the air, or doing anything recognizable that I could tell.I felt my lungs slowly fill with fluid.I guess I'm going into this blind. So to speak. Master Abbott took a step forward and disappeared. What? Was he like me and Papa?I twirled around trying to find him, when I felt a blow to my right knee and I dropped to the floor, Master Abbott became visible out of the corner of my eye. Before I could gather my wits about me, he popped out of view and less than one second later, I felt him shove me forward, my face smacking down into the mat.Oh. My. God. He’s a teleporter!I didn't even believe in God, but at that moment I prayed to whoever might be listening to send me help because I was so royally screwed.“That’s enough, Uncle!” I heard Cade yell from the sidelines.I tried running backward, keeping my eyes moving in every direction in search of Master Abbott. My heart hammered in my chest and sweat beaded my brow as I struggled to remain upright. If I didn’t heal myself soon, I would be in serious trouble.Master Abbott ignored Cade’s command. He appeared directly in front of me and smashed his fist straight into my face. I felt as my cheekbone shattered and a tooth came loose.

My stomach reeled as blood poured out of my mouth. I tried to fight back, but he was already gone.He popped back into view and threw another punch at my face, but this time I was ready. I sidestepped his fist and pulled it forward, spinning around him and slamming my elbow into his back.My action bought me a few extra seconds as Master Abbott regained his stability, but I was done. I could feel my broken bones and the severe internal bleeding which was causing my body to shut down. I dragged my arm over my eyes, clearing my vision from the sweat dripping down my face and brought my hands back up.“Enough!” Cade yelled and blasted a fireball at Master Abbott.He stumbled backward and shot Cade a scowl, but nonetheless, lifted his hands in submission.“Alright, alright. She’s done.”I almost sagged in relief, but that was interrupted when Master Abbott blinked out of sight and I felt a boot slam into my chest. I screamed, white light detonated from my hands and rammed dead-center into Master Abbott.I fell to the mat and groaned, rubbing my chest. Sofia and Ekon ran over.“Holy shit, girl. You need to heal yourself now!!” Sofia begged, taking a hold of my hand. Warm arms circled my waist, helping me sit and I looked up into the watery eyes ofEkon.I coughed and cleared my throat. “I’m okay.”
He shook his head in exasperation. “Of course you are, Gorgeous. Just go ahead and heal yourself to make us feel better, alright?”

Book Description:

A reformed killer, a dragon agent, and a lone shifter must work together to investigate four abductions…
I've always had a close relationship with death.
Six years ago, I was the Renegade, the Wolf of Eden, terrorizing the streets of a small town in Mississippi. Now, after a plea deal that saved my life, I work for the police as a consultant and unofficial cop.
Obsidian Moon, the Underworlder police agency, isn't doing anything about the disappearances of four college women. It falls to my shoulders while I'm stressing over my college assignments and the new transfer who thinks testing my control is a great pasttime.
Then there's him. The mystery shifter who danced with me at a club and reminds me of home.  And he seems to be more than just a random stranger who walked up to an ex-murderer and danced rather than fight.
But I have bigger concerns than two sexy men on my tail as a stream of darkness hangs over Paradise Grove.
The opening of a new series, A Stream of Darkness, will have you guessing at every turn and turning the pages to learn more.

Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Tagline: When opposites meet the attraction is undeniable, but Fate has other plans.
Book Description:
Raven Hunter, a musical prodigy, flees to the Hawaiian Islands to pick up the pieces after her marriage to her manager collapses. Instead, she experiences extraordinary and unsettling events that are beyond her understanding.
Living in paradise, marine biologist, Finn Taylor has the unconscious but effortless ability to understand the needs of the animals he cares for. His playboy lifestyle is most men’s fantasy. That is, until the night he meets the shy and elusive new island resident. Suddenly his life no longer feels like his own.
The attraction is undeniable. However, vastly contrasting lives, peculiar dreams, and an unbelievable proclamation that they could be the direct descendants of Poseidon and Apollo threaten to divide them forever. Will they accept their destiny and begin the quest of a lifetime or will they remain in their comfortable yet separate existence?

Excerpt #2: (591 words)
Finn’s research boat motored toward an island farther off their projected course. The weather was picking up, but he told the crew to push through. He barked orders to secure lines and equipment, as waves churned and white foam capped their peaks. The girls grabbed pails blowing across the deck, while Jake frantically tried to secure the lines whipping around in the wind.
What the hell was going on, Finn thought. This front had come in out of nowhere. Maybe there had been an earthquake. He looked down and in disbelief, realized he’d forgotten to turn on the navigating equipment. But how could that be?
Cold fear crawled up his spine as a massive wave broke against the bow, causing Jake to bullet over the side of the boat and into the cold water. Finn screamed over the intercom for the girls to come help. When they didn’t answer, he turned and saw they were gone too. One of Holly’s flip-flops floated in the small pool of water collecting aft.
He ran to the back and saw the girls swimming toward each other without life jackets. Running to the bow, he saw Jake doing the same. Closer to the girls, Finn maneuvered the boat to retrieve them first, but by the time he’d arrived, they disappeared. Looking out toward the bow, he watched in horror as his male researcher disappeared beneath the cold blue surface too. Finn turned to run back to the cabin when he saw Raven steering the boat.
“Get to Jake!” he screamed, but she couldn’t hear him. “Raven, Jake...Jake!” He pointed.
She turned and could see him gesture but didn’t seem to know what he was saying. Alaula was on the bow now, barking loudly over the wind, her pup trying desperately not to fall off too. He ran down the hall as more water sluiced over the sides. The hallway lengthened, and he couldn’t reach the bridge.
The water started to part, and Raven turned to look at it. Iron pillars began to poke through the surface of the water and Finn’s back seemed to burn and tear and he cried out in pain. The trident tattooed along his spine stood before him in living color, but it was the length of several football fields and held in the massive hands of a man with Finn’s eyes. Black liquid ropes bound themselves around his enormous biceps and strong wrists. Another thicker one coiled around hismuscled waist and neck. He tried to lift the trident but failed. His unearthly eyes sparked at Finn, who felt the extreme heat all around him. He looked for the source and saw it was Raven. She was a ball of fire with wings unfurling, making a guttural scream.
Finn couldn’t move, aware he was utterly powerless without the trident on his back. He looked back into the face of the great man. The man only had a moment to say two words before an enormous tsunami ran through him, blending to his shape, becoming the wave, then his outline turned to the ocean’s spray. He looked back at Raven and the fire burst.
Finn’s eyes flew open, and he expelled a gasp. Sitting up, he was shaking and covered in sweat. The aftershocks of the dream pulsated behind his eyes. What the hell was that? Breathing hard, he swung his legs to the side of the bed. Resting his elbows on his knees, he laid his head in his hands, as the two words seared into his mind. Release me.
About the Author:
Award-winning author, Jeny Heckman, was born in Bellingham, Washington, and was the youngest of two daughters. She met her husband, Jeff, in August 1992, and eloped three months later, at Magen’s Bay, on St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.She wrote her first book, the Catch, in a few short months but took several years before she gained the courage to self-publish it at her son’s urging, and her love for writing began.
In 2018, Jeny knew her next project would be a series that showed adults could have adventures in the paranormal-fantasy genre too. So, she created the Heaven & Earth series, a story of doomed Greek gods and their only salvation, their modern-day descendants. Her first book of the series, the Sea Archer, was immediately picked up by the New York publishing house, the Wild Rose Press, and won, “Best in Category” from the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards.
In the year 2020, Jeny released, Dancing Through Tears, a short story from the anthology, Australia Burns: Volume Two, highlighting the Route 91 massacre from the perspective of one family at the concert, and at Mandalay Bay. She also intends to release, the Warrior’s Progeny, and Dee’s Cornucopia, in 2020, continuing the Heaven & Earth Series.
Jeny lives in Washington State with her husband of over twenty-eight years.
