The Absolute Best Red Lentil Soup by Loren Rhoads
When you’re trying to carve out some writing time on a rainy (or snowy)Saturday, it’s great to put together some soup – and then write while itsimmers. This is one of my favorites.

1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 cup dried red lentils
2 T tablespoons tomato paste
½ teaspon ground cumin
pinch of ground red pepper
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
6 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt or sour cream
Heat oil in medium pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots, and celeryand sauté about 3 minutes or until vegetables start to soften.
Stir in lentils, tomato paste, cumin, pepper, and broth. Raise heat to high andbring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or untillentils are soft and soup is thick.
Ladle into bowls and top each with a tablespoon of yogurt or sour cream.

HolidayLemon Cream Cheese Chocolate Chip Cookies
Christmas is getting close, and it’s alwaysbeen one of my favorite holidays. I love picking the perfect gift for thepeople I care about and then seeing their faces when they open it. In myyounger, less anti-social (or rather, less filled with work during normalhours) days, I could wander the malls forever (back when we had more mallshere. And not really forever, but for a while). I love the lights, the people,the sounds, the smells…
And the cooking. I get all kinds of domestic forChristmas. Or at least, a little. I like making sweets. The years have taughtme that working with a bunch of guys (is it possible I pull story ideas fromprevious jobs? I’ll never tell 😉), a lot of them single, means that foodmakes great gifts for my coworkers.
One year, two of my best friends at work weresingle guys. I found this cookie recipe and pretty much tried it out on themdisguised as a Christmas gift. It went over so well that I’ve made it my go-toevery year. I think the response was something like ‘next time you get bored,if you wanted to make these again…’. Making these will occupy my kitchen thisweekend, at least for a little bit, because fortunately they’re really quickand easy to make.

It’s lonely at the top.
I knew it would be when I clawed my way up here, trading away favors and any personal life to get to where I am today, the head of the hottest new video game company in the industry.
When an old friend calls in one of those favors, I’m happy to help Xander out. His partner, Dominic, needs to impress some conservative clients, and showing up to get-to-know-you dinners with a heavily tattooed man on his arm isn’t the way to do it.
And there are far worse things in the world than pretending to be Dom’s fiancée.
When the fake kisses with Dominic start to feel real, I realize there’s something missing in my life. Worse, I’m starting to realize I never should’ve let Xander get away.
But the three of us together will bring everything we’ve worked for toppling down around us. There’s no way love is worth that kind of sacrifice.

Book Description:
Elika crosses the Bridge to Magic to find the world ruled by magic, where nothing is as it seems. Mages run the streets, whilst the tsaren, their masters, war with each other. Though it is men who pay the price with their lives.
Faced with the injustice of the mages and the new world order, Elika discovers her own untapped gifts that may yet shift the balance of power back into the hands of men. But her dabbling in the power she does not understand draws the attention of the dreaded demigod Syn’Moreg.
Elika must now outwit the shadow that hunts her, whilst seeking a way to free mankind from their oppressors. Yet dark grows her heart, and to darkness it reaches for that which the shadow denies.
As whispers of a newly found heir to the Sacred Crowns grow to cries of war, Elika comes to realize that she may not be the savior of mankind after all. Mite has proclaimed himself King Northwind, and marches on Terren to claim what is rightfully his. Elika is certain he will fail, unless she can vanquish the one power standing in his way. But to do that, she must convince the court and the archmage that she is the demigoddess Arala returned.
Excerpt:
Aeon-Greengrass’house was easy to find, illuminated as it was with moonlight. The chimney was aweave of branches, and grass grew from the walls. She peered down from the edgeof the roof to a small balcony, and silently lowered herself onto it. The treebranches stirred under her feet, then stilled. Instead of a window, an airyopening, with black webbing barred her way inside.
‘Open,’she commanded in a whisper, pushing her will into the surrounding essence, andfelt the answering quiver.
Theblack strands parted, and she strode inside into a darkened lounge. Had shecome here to rob, she would have needed ten sacks for all the loot.
Everysurface was crowded with silver ornaments in strange shapes and flowing formsthat resembled nothing you’d find in nature. She was drawn to a figurine thatresembled a twisting, spiralling shape of a man, as if his body was made fromwater. Another figurine was of a dog, his earthly form also looped andstretched around itself, a grotesque torment of the natural order.
Therewere trees and flowers and animals, all twisted and bent. Yet there was an oddbeauty in the grotesqueness that tugged at her primal heart. Was this how theysaw her world? Strange that these ugly beings searched for beauty and craftedit in their own appalling way.
What do you want from our world? she pondered. Surely your own is of muchgreater splendour, abound as it is with magic and wonder.
Dangerousmusings, she thought, and abruptly turned away before her resolve wavered.
Insidethe house, there were no doors, only archways in the walls of branches withstrange, whimsical fruit sprouting from their tips. No fruit was the same, andwhen she touched one, it felt hollow and light as if spun from dust and wishes.Under her foot, there was a carpet of grass. In it grew small flowers, akin tothose a child might draw with a stick in the mud, both extravagant and clumsyin their form. The petals were of different sizes and irregular in shape.
Everythinghere gave an impression of simultaneous worship and corruption of nature, as ifthe Laifae did not understand how it all fitted together.
Atthe end of the hall, she came to a doorway. A black web barred her way. Beyondit, she felt his essence, the creature who gave this house its form. Shefocused on that essence, placed the hand on the webbing and whispered, ‘Do notresist me.’
Warm,slick strands trembled under her fingers and parted before her, allowing herentry into the majren’s bedchamber. A light glowed in a lantern beside his bed,illuminating the youthful face of the sleeping mage. He was a youth … no, thebody he had stolen belonged to a youth whose limbs still had not developed thebulk of a full-grown man. It was an absurdly wrong body for the man who heldsuch an important position in the archmage’s dominion. Curled on his side, helooked like a child in peaceful slumber.
Thechild is dead, she reminded herself, willing the anger to grow.
Still,she could not look at him and do what must be done. She sent a black tendril toextinguish the flame in his lantern, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Aeon-Greengrassstartled awake and sat up.
‘Who’sthere?’ He moved his face searchingly, back and forth, past where she stood.
She froze, realising that he was blind in the dark of night. His ears weresharp, however, and he must have heard her intake of breath, or perhaps thefrantic beating of her heart.
‘Guards!Guards!’ He shouted from inside the dead man’s chest, a sound akin to astrangled roar.
Withoutfurther thought, she grasped the threads of his essence and pulled.
‘No!Spare me. I have gold and riches.’
‘Richesyou earned by selling the lives of men.’
‘Whoare you, mistress?’ he gasped.
Inreply, she pulled harder upon the threads. He groaned and writhed and finallyfell lifeless back onto his bed.
‘Alife for a life.’ She uttered the mantra from long ago, which they had lived byon the streets.
Andsomething inside her grew cold and dark.
Acrack under her feet … she plunged through the floor and hit the lower levelwith a rough thud.
Shegroaned, rolled, noting that nothing was broken, and looked up. But of course,she thought, with the Laifae gone, so was his magic. The grass floor morphed torotting wood, decayed and barely holding the house together. The walls of thehouse were wilting and vanishing, and the stones which had been held firm byblack webbing began to crumble and crash around her.
Elika scrambled to her feet, raced to the window and jumped out. Behind her,the house fell to rubble and dust chased her down the street. Shouts and callscame from the folk as they emerged to gape at the rubble she had left behind.When she was out of their sight, she slowed to a walk.
Awind brushed her hood.
Shestopped, and her heart raced with recognition and fear.
Thewind blew again, stronger this time.
Sheknew that wind. Knew it as well as her own breath. She had lived beside thedark chasm most of her life, had listened to the shrill screams upon it. Butshe was far from the chasm, and the wind of the Abyss did not travel far pastit. Yet here it was, filled with biting rage, swirling around her. And on it,she felt a dark presence. Something followed her that was not a man.
Shespun around and probed the deep, lurking shadows of the night, straining herears to listen to the silence hidden by the wailing wind. A terrible power drewnear. She felt its approach in the depths of her bones. The very essence of theworld bent and trembled beneath it. It charged the air with its rage. A pulseof that rage went past, and a tremor shook the ground beneath her feet. Shestaggered but managed not to fall, turned again, trying to see where thenearing storm was coming from.
Itstilled, as if also listening. Then, as if it caught her scent, the terrorcharged towards her.
Shedarted for the closest rainwater pipe and, in an instant, scrambled up it tothe roof, lay flat on her stomach and peered over the edge. No one was there.No sound, no movement in the faintly lit street. Still, the sense of dangerprickling her skin was a physical sensation she could not ignore. Something wasthere, seeking her, scanning the roofs where she had climbed. Aye, there wereeyes searching for her, brushing past her.
Darknessmoved, and she saw it, a shadow darker than the night untouched by moonlight.It moved and vanished. And the winds of the Abyss grew still.
She rolled away from the edge and stared up at themoon, waiting until she was certain the shadow had left. Then she rose and ranhome.

Tagline: Supernatural meets Witches of East End in a twisted dream.
Book Description:
Now a college student, Joey is finding college life comfortable. But studies prove to be more difficult than facing down a horde of black dogs. Struggling with her average life now that the supernatural world has been opened before her, Joey is constantly distracted. Pulled between wanting the standard life of a college student, and the allure of the paranormal. Unfortunately, Portstown has been quiet since the “Great Hunt” of last year, that is until a random fire on campus occurs, and people start going missing.
Disregarded as a student prank, Joey brushes the incident off until she catches Gwen looking into it. Why would one of the guardians from the mysterious Warner family be looking into a silly student prank?
More questions arise when fires start popping up all over campus, and Joey’s dreams turn violent under the control of the Dream Conductor with their twisted intentions. Gathering the group back together Joey must figure out what is happening to the missing people, who is starting the mysterious fires on campus, and what does the Dream Conductor want all while conquering finals. Will Joey pass this semester or will she fall into her deepest fantasies?
Amazon
Excerpt:
In the history of insane ideas, this was high on the list as I stood at the edge of the cemetery looking out over a sea of headstones. This was the last thing I wanted to face down, but I had to know if I was right about the fire. If I was then someone was in trouble. I heard it in the dream, someone calling out for help. Then again I heard a lot of people calling for help the other night in my dreams, still I had an anxious feeling about this fire.
I tried calling the police and the firehouse, but I couldn’t get a word out. I didn’t want to send them to the chapel if there was no fire. What if the fire wasn’t going to be for awhile? Like the other night. It took hours for the fire to happen after I woke from my nightmare. The time before that it was within moments. Which was it going to be this time? They could come, find nothing and leave. Then the fire starts and they respond too late. Too late for what, Joey?
It was a building, an old building. So what if it burned down, there would be no harm done and there were no houses in danger around it. Who cared if the crappy little chapel disappeared, but that cry for help nagged at me.
The idea of calling Gwen crossed my mind, I even stood there with my finger hovering over her number, but what was I going to say? “There is going to be fire because I said so”? I couldn’t explain how I knew where the fire was going to happen, I simply knew. Deep in my subconscious somewhere I knew without a doubt the chapel was going to burn, and the longer I waited the stronger the feeling grew. Instead of making the call I settled on checking out the chapel for myself first. If I found nothing then fine, I would go back home and call it a bad dream. If I did find something, well I had my phone with me. I could call Gwen right there. I simply had to make it through the graveyard. At night.
Daring a step forward I took a deep breath and shored up what courage I had. Inside I prayed I didn’t run into any black dogs, or fire demons, if those were a thing. Taking another step I let out the breath and ventured another step. One right after another I made my way across the graveyard toward the chapel half a mile away. I could have avoided the graveyard and walked up to the sidewalk parallel to the cemetery, but this was the fastest way to the chapel. In the back of my mind it felt like time was running out, so through the graveyard it was.
Shadows danced off of the gravestones as I walked, making me flinch from time to time. Once or twice I let out a little yelp as the breeze picked up and shifted the long grass that needed to be mowed. It didn’t help that it felt like someone was watching me. The little hairs on the back of my neck were standing up, and the smolder of eyes on me chilled my blood. Coming to a stop short of the chapel I stood near one of the mausoleums and looked at the chapel more carefully. I mean, running in when it could burst into flames at any moment wasn’t the best idea. So I took time to study the outside.
The windows were dark, no light came from within. Outside it was quiet, dead quiet aside from the winter wind blowing. Dry and arctic, but refreshing against my heated skin. I stood there studying the lines of the old chapel and the curling paint chips that were flapping against the wind. Everything looked normal and fine, quiet and still.
“Meow!” Jinx yelled next to my ear on the mausoleum.
“What the hell, in heaven.” I gasped, jumping away and feeling my heart in my throat.

Elika must now outwit the shadow that hunts her, whilst seeking a way to free mankind from their oppressors. Yet dark grows her heart, and to darkness it reaches for that which the shadow denies.
As whispers of a newly found heir to the Sacred Crowns grow to cries of war, Elika comes to realize that she may not be the savior of mankind after all. Mite has proclaimed himself King Northwind, and marches on Terren to claim what is rightfully his. Elika is certain he will fail, unless she can vanquish the one power standing in his way. But to do that, she must convince the court and the archmage that she is the demigoddess Arala returned.
