Tagline: A Half-Fae misfit returns to the Magical Realm of her birth to discover it’s far from the fairy tale she imagined.
Book Description:
A century after the Mages of Earth found sanctuary in an underground Realm, those whose magic is sub-par or whose half-breed heritage leaves them powerless and forced into exile back on Earth. They can’t have them tainting the magic of the others, after all. 
As a Fae/Human hybrid, Billie should fit right in. Except, she’s anything but powerless, making her a misfit among misfits. When her powers nearly destroy a human home, she's given a chance to return. Returning to the Realm has always been Billie’s dream, but the Realm is anything but a fairy tale.
Despite its claims of acceptance and equality, ancient rivalries between the Realm’s magical species are threatening to rip it apart. Billie somehow manages to land herself in the middle, a dangerous place for an outcast to be. What’s more, the powerful magic that brought her there suddenly vanishes, leaving her vulnerable to the attacks of those who think a misfit doesn’t belong in the Realm.
Staying in the Realm is her only chance to live life as a true Mage, but it could cost her life.

Excerpt: “There’s the little fire freak.” My eyes shot open. Standing before me was Tanya with her usual wannabes. She was dressed in her predictable mixture of bad-girl-meets-prep, wearing the pigtails only she could pull off as chic and not goody two-shoes. “What’s the matter? Nothing to say to me?” She stepped forward. “Not even an apology for blowing up my house?”“Not really.” People always said if you didn’t let bullies get to you, they’d get bored and move on. It was time to put that to the test.“When did you become an arsonist, anyway?” she took another step. “Was it to deal with your dad leaving you in that ghetto with all the other freaks?”“My father didn’t leave,” I snapped before I could stop myself. “He’s dead.”“Oh, I’m sure that’s what your mom told you.” She was right in front of my face now. “But we all know if your daddy was dead, you would have gotten a nice life insurance check and you wouldn’t be so dirt poor.”At different time I might have laughed at that. I guess it didn’t occur to Tanya not everyone could afford a life insurance policy.“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said as I leapt off the bench and shoved my way past her.“I’m trying to help you, Billie,” she said from behind me. “You and your friends. I know it can be hard coming from nothing.”Even though I knew I should just keep walking, I whirled around. “You don’t know a thing about us.”“You know what the number one profession is for girls from low-income neighborhoods?”The people around us gasped, though the ones trying to look cool laughed. I was almost impressed with Tanya for being that subtle.I glanced at her Prada bag, my hand twitching. It would be so easy to just rip that thing open. And it would be a lot better than she deserved. But the Officials had told me not to use magic, and I had a feeling my ability to follow their order would affect whether they sent me to the Academy, or to a containment facility.Slowly, I turned around again. “I’m not listening to you.”“You and tall-chick might be able to make it, but the chubby one? What guy would pay for a night with that?”  There was more laughter, but I barely heard it as I whirled around and screamed, “Shut up!”Everything happened too fast. All I knew was that one moment I was glaring at Tanya, breathing hard while she folded her arms and smirked; and the next second the tall, marble centerpiece from the fountain was hurtling toward Tanya’s head.She screamed and ducked, and the marble spiral crashed down just behind her shoulder. Even though it missed her, it still drenched her and her bag with a splash of murky, icy water.For a second nobody moved, as everyone’s eyes moved from Tanya, to the wrecked fountain, to me.

About the Author:
Sara's enjoyed creating fantastic stories since she was old enough to hold a play sword, around the time she learned how to walk. Gradually she learned to direct her creative energy into writing, and it’s been a downward spiral ever since then. When she's not writing she’s probably either dancing or reading random wikipedia pages. She also enjoys spending time in her part-time home away from home, Yellowstone National Park, which is the most fantastical land she's ever been too.

Soul Born is back! Newly edited and reworked and now published by Azure Spider Publications.
Soul Born is book one in a four book epic fantasy series. The next books will follow one each year. AND, amazingly, has already won an award from Literary Titan.



SOUL BORN 
Kevin James Breaux

Opal has killed for what she believes are all the right reasons. On a quest of self discovery, the young mage is faced with what to become; sinner or saint. Through death of soul, her world is born.

Book Description:

All Opal wanted was to be respected as a wielder of magic, but her teachers passed her over time and time again. When a mysterious warlord embarks on a conquest to destroy the lands of Illyia, Opal seizes the opportunity to step out from the shadows of her instructors and take her rightful place among them.

Tala, an alluring young elf, was banished from her tribe, hunted and nearly killed by the beasts of the deep forests, but more than anything else she is a survivor. Joining forces with an ancient elemental power, Tala finds herself in the center of an unrelenting human war.

Flesh like leather and bone as strong as steel, Karn, a veteran from the first kingdom to fall, is fueled by vengeance. While pushing headlong into battle Karn begins recalling memories of another life: ghosts that haunt his dreams.

Through death of soul, their new world is born.

Guest Blog: Passion and Deceit: Innocent by Sea Hardt

Hello. I am Sea Hardt and I have written now two books on erotic romance. A burning question for most is how the author compares herself to the main character. This is what I want to touch on here and explain a little more about this enigmatic Pamela Sea.
There are many character aspects that I share with Pamela Sea and that I try to convey through her like her insatiable need for sex. Other common traits are her love for food, wine, and good humour. The games that people play is another subject that has always intrigued me and that I have in the past fallen prey to and have too practiced on plenty of victims. But for the larger part, Pamela is a character that embodies my evolution from the earthly materialistic way of thinking to a more refined and enlightened being. I often find it strange that I write so extensively about Pamela and her superfluous lifestyle and so little about my true philosophies in life and how I despise how people seem to focus on the things that really do not matter in the long run like beauty, money and other fleeting possessions that in time will fade away into nothing. Like myself, in the book, Pamela experiences all kinds of sexual adventures that in time make her realize the more true direction we should all be aiming for. I guess that most people are bored at having someone preach to them about our higher purposes, so perhaps through my stories, I can convey something more important than just our carnal sexual impulses. It is important to understand, that I am too a sexual being and love good sex but I only diverge a little from others when I say that it is so much more than two bodies banging against each other.
I know that for some, it is not easy to differentiate between a good no-brainer fuck and our purposes of being on this earth. For me anyway, there is definitely a link and always a topic I love to discuss. What is sex for you?

Teaser Excerpt:

“His kiss was hard and long as he took my head in both his powerful hands and devoured my mouth. His lips felt soft and I felt like I was eating a succulent strawberry as I returned his kiss. It was an out of this world long kiss and it was all about that moment in time. All my values and lifelong objectives were left on the wayside. Any will to resist was long gone as I gave myself up to these two hungry wolves. I forgot about all my good girl values and was instead overpowered by something higher and bigger than that. I gave into absolute carnal desire as my body started to pulse and convulse as they took full control.”
