Whisper Bay: Oliver & Chloe: The Beginning by Sybil Shae
Intro
Never again!
It didn���t matter what Aralia was saying as she stroked my hair soothingly, like a mother with her child. I admired her maternal instinct, God knows I���d never experienced it, but in that moment, it didn���t matter how she tried to comfort and assure everything would be okay. It wouldn���t. My heart ached and I could hardly breathe as my body shook with rapt tears. I should have been used to it by now, to those terrible words, the laughter, and the snide remarks. It was all I had experienced since arriving in Whisper Bay. But it was the graffiti on my locker that had finally shattered me:
SLUT!
I should have been used to disappointment and a broken heart, but I was a fool. A fool who believed in love, and that somewhere out there, was someone to love me. I thought he was the one. I thought this place would be different. I was so wrong. I was always wrong.
I could taste the tears on my lips as I tried to take jagged breaths, the sounds of my wails echoing off the walls of the cave. This was our place ��� Aralia���s and mine, our secret, the one place we could hide and escape the world. Tucked into a small outcropping along the northern coast of town, accessible only during low tide, it was a place few would dare to venture. Yet we did. It was the only place we could breathe, where the reality of life couldn���t penetrate or harm us.
���It will be okay, Chloe. It���ll be okay,��� Aralia continued to assure, her hand still in my hair.
���I will never let anyone in again!��� The words were barely recognizable through my blubbering.
���You don���t mean that Chloe.���
���Yes, I do. I do! Never again!���
Secret Places
He cannot be more than forty. Surely not more than that?
I���d been asking myself that question for a year and I still didn���t know the answer. Patrick Pettigrew, my boss and the manager of The Music Box, was gorgeous. He was six-foot-two, broad shouldered, and had sandy blonde hair with a few odd strands of silver dispersed throughout. His smile was like sunshine in the early morning, and his goatee was always immaculate. He even had a killer tan from hours of surfing every day. Surfing was the reason why he never opened the store, and why I always did. This morning however, he was breaking protocol and holding a meeting before the store opened for business. He never had meetings, and his desire for one now had us all on edge. There were rumors that the store was under threat of closing. There was talk of new owners who wanted to close down the current location and move the store to the new strip mall. The Music Box was the largest stand-alone record store in Whisper Bay, hiring many of Kranmer High���s students, like myself. I was eighteen and an assistant manager, not too bad if I did say so myself, and only after a year of living in the quaint seaside town. If the rumors were true, the owners would pay a higher rent, have a smaller store, and need fewer employees. I was as nervous as the others were. I needed this job more than any of the others did.
���Good morning guys,��� Patrick���s gravelly voice broke into my thoughts. ���Sorry for the delay. I was waiting for someone, but he���s here now.��� He turned, looking over his shoulder at the young man who stood behind him. I could see my coworkers��� eyes shifting around me in confusion. Who was this guy and why was he so important that it required a meeting to tell us?
���Alright guys, we have a new member to our team. As you know, Jaimie left us for college last week, so let me introduce you to my nephew, Oliver Pettigrew. He will be joining the roster from today forward.���
He looked over at me, and right then I couldn���t help but be distracted. Patrick had beautiful eyes.
���You���ll need to readjust a few things, Chloe, but I���m sure you can make it work.��� I nodded my confirmation as he continued. ���Oliver has recently returned to town from Los Angeles, so I���d appreciate it if you guys would make him feel at home again.���
He looked around, his eyes falling on each person present, and I noted a strange expression flash across his face as a small murmur rose from the other employees. He laid a large hand on the back of his nephew���s neck.
���Get to work everyone.���
So, Oliver was Patrick���s nephew. Poor guy had definitely gotten the short end of that gene pool stick. He was shorter than Patrick was, only a few inches taller than I was. He was slender to the point of almost being wiry, his clothes were conservative, and his hair was a fiery red that hung in loose waves to the nape of his neck. I couldn���t see his face; his mop of hair obscured it almost entirely. He kept his head down the entire time, but from the rest of his appearance, I guessed it was nowhere as finely chiseled as his uncle���s.
���Chloe, could you come in my office a moment?���
���Yes, Patrick, be right there.��� I scampered to answer my boss��� call as Oliver followed him.
Once inside the office Patrick explained his request. I was to train Oliver. Perfect! He was sticking me with him for the next few weeks in order to get him acclimated to how the store ran. What was this? Was he grooming Oliver or something? Was Oliver going to take over my job? Silent panic gripped my chest in an iron hold as I tried to keep my expression placid.
���Whatever you say, Bossman.��� I looked over at Oliver, who had yet to acknowledge me. He seemed far more interested in the framed vinyl records and posters Patrick had decorating his walls. ���Hey, let���s go,��� I called and marched out of the office letting the rest of my words fall behind me. ���We open soon.���
���Hey, Chloe, Damon���s brother is coming to town this weekend and he���s looking to have some fun. You in?��� Andrea���s nasally voice resonated in my ears, disrupting me from showing Oliver the morning routine for working the till. The girl could get on my nerves with her whining and her laziness. If it were up to me I would have fired her, but Patrick hated letting people go.
I wasn���t entirely sure Oliver was paying attention; he hadn���t said anything since we started. In fact, he hadn���t said anything at all since he arrived. He didn���t even look interested in what was going on. If the new owners were planning to hand my job over to some twerp just because he was the boss��� family, they had another thing coming. I would show them that I was the best person to assist in running the store. No little read-headed. runt was going to take it from me. I had very few things in life to call my own, and of those things, my favorite was The Music Box. Even though The Music Box was just a job to most, it was an oasis to me. It allowed me to make the money I needed to support myself, while allowing me to be around the thing I loved most ��� music. Learning to play the guitar was a bonus, and to me it felt like a requirement of the job. I could never learn everything there is to know about music, there just simply was not enough time in the day.
���I told you already. I���m not dating, so stop trying to set me up,��� I resounded, returning to the cash in my hand. I couldn���t remember what number I had stopped at. ���Damn it, Andrea, you made me forget my count. How many fives were there again?���
���Thirty-three.���
The voice I heard didn���t belong to Andrea. I had never heard this voice before. I turned to look at Oliver. His eyes were on the floor and he gave no indication that the sound came from him.
���Did you say something?��� I asked him, unsure. It couldn���t be he who spoke, could it?
Shockingly, the timid voice replied, ���There were thirty-three fives when you stopped.���
I was skeptical and challenged him. ���How can you be sure?���
���I counted them.���
I laughed. Was he trying to put one over on me?
���You didn���t count them.���
���Yes, I did,��� he rebutted.
At this point, I was really getting annoyed, ���Look, I don���t have time for games. We���ve got to be open soon and I need to get this done.��� I restarted my count.
Thirty-three fives. I counted them.
What did he take me for, an idiot? I wasn���t about to let him trick me. Was that his game? Was he planning to sabotage my work efforts in order to help his own cause to take my job? Well, I���m smarter than that.
I counted the fives again and to my shock, there were thirty-three.
���I told you,��� Oliver said quietly.
I let my annoyance flare. ���So���I don���t care. It is my responsibility to check the till, not yours. You just need to pay attention to how we do things around here and stop spacing out. This is a business not a playground,��� I retorted and returned to counting the rest of the till money.
���I was paying attention.���
I inhaled a deep breath. Was this guy trying to make me angry? If he was, then he was succeeding. I don���t know if Andrea sensed my anger building or if she was really just ignorant because the next second she was back to talking about her boyfriend���s obtuse brother.
Did she not understand me earlier or is it irritate Chloe day?
���Look, it���s been six months, Clo, don���t you think it���s time to end the drought?��� she challenged, walking over and peering up at me from the sales floor.
I was thankful she was so lazy and that the bird���s nest was small or else she may have been tempted to come up and annoy me up-close. The bird���s nest was a small rotunda that acted as our checkout counter. It allowed three hundred and sixty degree views, could hold a maximum of four registers if needed, such as at Christmas, and was perched on a platform which was accessible by a set of six short steps.
To me, Andrea was the epitome of a flake. She never exerted more energy than necessary to do anything, well, except party. Taking the six short steps to the bird���s nest would require way too much of her. Looking up and shouting from where she stood was much easier.
���What does time have to do with anything? I���m done talking about this, and when I say I���m done, I���m done!��� My adamant words were punctuated by the slamming of my till drawer. I initialed the accounting slip to confirm the cash I���d received. ���You sign next to me,��� I instructed Oliver. He obeyed without hesitation. I gave Andrea a final frustrated look, but found her eyes were regarding Oliver with a hint of suspicion. I wondered why.
���Come on Oliver, I���ll show you where you can keep your things,��� I huffed at him and marched down from where I stood. He followed me without question, his Converse sneakers squeaking against the hardwood floor the whole way.
~~~
I hated to admit it but Oliver was more organized than I was, and freakishly so. He had managed to master every aspect of our jobs in less than a week. In fact, he had done better than that. With him at the store we hardly needed a daily stock check as he seemed to record every sale in his mind and tallied the sum in his head. It was amazing! Nevertheless, the other employees did not see it that way. They never spoke to him and the odd time they looked in his direction, there was a sense of discomfort, almost fear. How was Oliver able to make my job look so easy? If he kept this up he would outshine me in no time and I would be out of a job. Nevertheless, there was still one area where he lacked the Midas touch, and that was with customer relations. He was simply awful at dealing with people and he wasn���t making any friends amongst the staff either. In fact, they all seemed to avoid him. I was determined to find out who Oliver Pettigrew was and why he was back in Whisper Bay.
After weeks of working side-by-side with him, barely ever hearing him speak, I decided that I was going to have to become an investigator if I wanted to know his game. If there was anyone who could shed light on the enigma that was Oliver Pettigrew, Samuel Donaldson, our in-house weekend DJ, my guitar teacher, and the person who knew the stories about everyone was the one to ask.
���Sam, you���ve lived here your entire life, right?��� I asked him, as we disassembled boxes behind the store for the upcoming recycling and refuge collection day.
He nodded. ���Every single day and no desire to go anywhere else.��� He looked up at me with a pleasant grin. ���Why do you ask? You wanna know something?��� His eyes twinkled at the prospect of gossip.
I wasn���t one who normally cared about the rumor mill, after all, I knew how it felt to be on the receiving end of rumors. I did want to know about Oliver though, and since he wasn���t providing any insight in our rare conversations, Sam was the best way to get the information I wanted.
���What can you tell me about Oliver?��� I asked covertly to ensure I wasn���t overheard, and then leaned in closer to hear his reply. I didn���t have to use any coaxing for him to spill all he knew.
���Oliver Anderson Pettigrew. Mother, Noreen Pettigrew is the only sister of Patrick Pettigrew. Was briefly married to Robert Todd, but divorced before Oliver was born. Reasons abound as to why. Oliver himself is a bit of a tale. Always a loner, he never had many friends in school but he excelled at his work. He was eight when they bumped him up two grade levels. He graduated high school at the age of fifteen. Only person in Whisper Bay history to ever do that.���
���What? He���s our age. What, is he genius?��� I mocked, folding a box in half and then again.
���Actually, yes he is.���
I looked at Sam in shock. I could feel my mouth hanging open and quickly shut it. ���Are you serious?���
���As a heart attack my British cutie,��� he teased and flicked my nose. He���d been calling me that since we first met and he heard me speak. I didn���t have an accent, though everyone told me I did. I sounded perfectly normal to me; it was everyone else who sounded strange.
���What else do you know?��� I urged him, my interest piqued.
Sam smiled. ���Why all the questions? You never get involved in this sort of thing,��� he noted with a grin as he continued disassembling the cardboard boxes. ���Or is it that you���re interested in little Ollie for other reasons?��� he chortled.
���Of course not!��� I immediately defended.
Oliver and me? I shuddered at the thought.
���I work with him every day and he barely speaks to me. I just want to know who Oliver is. Are you going to tell me what you know or not?���
Sam���s smile grew. ���If you say so.��� He folded another cardboard box, huffed and continued. ���He and his mother live up at the old lighthouse on the point. She doesn���t come to town. Hasn���t for years. My cousin works at the market and he brings groceries out to her every week.���
He paused and I looked at him.
���He said he never sees her. It���s strange. She leaves a check in the mailbox and he leaves the items on the stoop.���
���That is weird. Is something wrong with her? Like some skin ailment or something that she���s trying to hide?��� I asked as my mind tried to conceive a reason for such strange behavior.
���It is weird. Three weeks ago, my cousin said when he went to the house Ollie opened the door. He wouldn���t speak to my cousin either. He just handed him the check, took the food, and shut the door. Even when my cousin attempted to ask him questions about why he came back, he would not answer him. The guy is weird central.���
���Why did he come back?��� This was what I wanted to know.
He shrugged and continued working on his stack of boxes. ���No one knows for sure. I heard someone say he couldn���t hack it at that college of his. Someone else told me that they heard it was drugs.��� He shot me a look. ���You remember that guy who came by a few times? The one who was dressed in all black every time he came?���
I rifled through my memory. ���Yeah. He came to see Oliver.���
Sam nodded. ���From what I hear, he���s some drug guy or some degenerate, and he wasn���t coming to visit anyone but Ollie. Makes you wonder, doesn���t it?���
Indeed.
���I also heard Oliver had a nasty step-dad who knocked him about because he didn���t talk much. I honestly wouldn���t be surprised if he had turned to drugs or something. Everyone needs to cope.���
I didn���t hear much after that. My mind was reeling with the news of Oliver���s stepfather. I knew what it was to have a father knock you about. Unlike Oliver, it hadn���t been my stepfather, but my father. Then he left. Many said it was for the best, but no matter how terrible he was, he was still my father. I loved him. Then he was gone. They always leave.
My eyes shot up as none other than Oliver stepped out the door. He looked at me and me at him. Then he did the strangest thing. He smiled at me. Then he was gone.

Rusty���s Chronicles by Victoria H Loren
Rusty���s Chronicles
Rusty embarks upon an adventurous journey through life facing different vulnerabilities, conquering handicaps empowered by devotion to his unconditional love.
This odyssey leads a young pup through challenges facing danger and conquering fears through the first year of his life. The growth and knowledge of some experiences gained are through trial and error. The structure of family and friends strengthen the learning experience while the young pup enriches each life he encounters. Creatures come to life to share inspirations from a magical world of nature.
Each journal entry portrays a short story or lesson learned. A final thought or reflection closes the segment. How often do we reflect on our experiences and feelings throughout life? The journal format provides an easy method to allocate time periods of a natural progression of growth. The wisdom of insight or enrichment gained from success or even failures intensifies the need to survive.
Rusty's Chronicles takes us on a journey visualizing life through the eyes of a lovable pup. Each encounter allows us to laugh, to cry, or just give in to the warm fuzzy feeling of his innocence.
An excerpt:
Mother Nature surely has a plan for all to envision her splendor whenever she beckons. The universe around us is so great and holds within the essence of our very being. Life evolves as we experience changes and growth. We set forth both enduring and embracing our destiny.
Yes, growth; toes sinking down into the soft gooey mud with rain pouring down drenching what use to be nice warm pajamas. The booming thunder overhead provides a challenging setting for nature���s calling for a young pup. The sheer joy of not being fried to a crispy critter by the lightning bolts does tend to leave a certain sense of gratitude.
Rusty���s Journal Entry: Flashes of Light
The splendor of a sunset normally leaves a peaceful feeling with the most beautiful colors painted across the sky. The closing of yet another adventurous day, with nightfall and darkness drifting throughout left an air of uncertainty for me. I snuggle down into my soft, cozy blanket. Binky Bear is already fast asleep and snoring rather loudly...or maybe that is Dad again. The air has a funny smell causing my little puppy fur to stand on end, which is not easy for all those ringlets to do. I close my eyes and put my chin on Binky so that he will not be afraid.
The loud thunderous boom shakes the walls and even the floor causing my bed to walk a few steps across the room. I raise my head and open my eyes wide to adjust to the darkness. Sudden bursts of bright light fill the room ever so often. I look under my bed to see if Dad put training wheels under it. Logically this would explain my sudden departure and relocation. I wag my tail finding the most wonderful surprise...my lost doggy biscuit is right there. Maybe the tooth fairy pup left it since I gave her my first little tooth. Well actually, I think I gave it to Dad since he found it in his foot. Mom convinced me not to eat the tooth. She said that if I put it under my bed, the tooth fairy pup would bring me a treat.
The loud booming thunder and crack of lightning bolts across the sky send my whole little puppy body right out of bed. I race across the floor to find Mom at a lightning fast speed. As I snuggle down beside her, I must have accidentally pointed the wrong puppy part right in Dad���s face. I cannot tell if the word���s ���Rusty��� or the booming thunder is louder. Which prompts me quickly to snuggle down under the covers to my safety spot; my cave as Dad calls it. I carefully tiptoe down to the end of the bed as not to put my little paws on Dad. That is until I find his toes. What a smell, this is better than my bugs...maybe he will not mind if I just sample a few of them. My tiny tongue licks ever so lightly on first his big toe and then the next one. My delight, suddenly brought to a halt, as Dad bolts upright in the bed leaving the cave door open for both of us to be exposed to the firework display. Dad must have found his vision to be able to move that quickly. I wonder why he is grabbing the legs of his pajamas shaking them as if he found a bug. I remember how Dad put a bug in his pocket...I wonder if he puts them in his pajamas too.

Passion burns bright when the night turns deadly...
Lies, betrayal and maybe a battery-operated boyfriend
She���s done with men. But someone needs to tell her wolf.
When Laurel���s Alpha female is found murdered and her Alpha turns up missing, the Briarwood Pack is turned upside down. An unwanted blast from Laurel���s romantic past puts her to the test as the fine line between love and hate is redefined. If she can keep herself alive. Love can be murder���unless it saves your life.
Nerdy, hunky boys with a knack for the dead need love too���
With his roommate back from the dead and his future as Montelier College of Witchcraft and Arcane Sciences new necromancer on staff on hold after his mentor���s murder, James Merryweather finds himself looking for answers in the one place he never thought to find them. And when a chance encounter leads him to his heart���s desire, will he have the strength to claim the woman he loves before she���s ripped from his arms forever?
���Something the matter?���
���Headache. Sorry.���
���You didn���t meet me for coffee. I was afraid you���d changed your mind.��� His eyes locked with hers and they stopped moving. Her breath locked in her chest and all she could do was stare at his full and supremely kissable lips.
���I���m sorry. Pack business.���
And something had passed between them in the garden at the school. Something that made her want to explore this attraction, even if it was just to get it out of her system.
They���d made it to the edge of the labyrinth in less time than she thought with no sign of the others. Her wolf rolled beneath her skin, desire for him pooling in her lady bits. The urge for some full on revenge sex to show him what he���d been missing out on sizzled through her, but as he reached out to touch her cheek, she found herself leaning forward.
Her wolf cheered.
���Oh.��� He brushed a stray strand of hair from the side of her face. ���I thought I���d never see you again. Not that I didn���t deserve that after what I did to you.���
���No,��� she blurted out, heat creeping up her cheeks. ���I really wanted to see you.��� And she had. Memories of their first and only chaste kiss as a teenager had grown into a bittersweet remembrance and she wondered what his lips tasted like now.
���Good.���
She nibbled on her lip, aware of her own body tightening in response to his heated gaze. Her wolf circled beneath her skin, as anxious to test their connection as she was.
���It is?���
Why couldn���t she form a coherent thought other than the dirty ones infiltrating her mind? Her wolf wanted him to throw her to the ground, tear off her jeans and mount him. Right here. Right now. She glanced down to find the hard ridge of his arousal evident against his jeans and she swallowed, her fingers itching to work the zipper and feel him against her palm.
What the hell was wrong with her?
���Mmm hmm.��� He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers. ���It is.���
His lips were soft and full and she wanted more. The piney scent of him reminded her of the surrounding woods and for a moment, she let the wolf inside her run free and lifted her face to his as he captured her lips again.
***
���Rotten strawberries?��� James frowned at his roommate.
���Yup.��� Cecil shrugged, pointing to the chair. He turned to the kitchen counter and rummaged around in a plastic grocery bag.
���What am I supposed to do with that?���
���What do you think, necromancer boy?��� He twisted his upper body back in James��� direction and wiggled his fingers. ���You know. Change it. Make it alive again.���
Trying to mask his irritation, James slid into the chair. ���Because I���m not trying to find a full time position as a necromancer, but I���ll take a job at a deli making fruit salad?���
Hello everyone. I���m Erzabet Bishop and I write paranormal and erotic romance. It���s great to be hanging out with you today on the blog and I hope you���ll reach out and visit me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter @erzabetbishop.
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I���ve been writing since I could remember. My first fiction was a vampire horror story when I was in grade school. Over the years I have played with different genres. Young adult, cowboy romances and urban fantasy, but one of my truest loves is paranormal romance.
How did you come up with this storyline?
The story for Arcane evolved from the Curse Workers series and explores the relationship between Laurel, a wolf and her necromancer love interest, James Merryweather, a necromancer.
What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?
The best? When you look at your finished baby and realize-I did that. The worst? Managing time to get everything done. The writing, marketing and edits.
What inspires you to write?
My inner voices won���t shut up. Lol.
How did you conduct your research for Arcane?
I did research on the study of bones for Map of Bones one of the earlier novellas in the series and the subject continued into this one.
What are 3 of your favorite quotes from Arcane?
Bridget and Alistair:
���Good morning yourself. A smile turned up the corners of her mouth and she had to fight the urge to bury her face against his chest. And lick him. If she licked him, he was hers. For keeps.
Laurel and James:
���Can you tell me how it feels when you shift?���
Laurel cocked her head as if to consider what he was asking. ���The first time hurts. But then after it���s something that no words can ever capture. You know that song that���s on the radio now? The one from Pete���s Dragon with all the violins?���
���I do.���
���That���s how it feels. Scary and wonderful and wild. It���s a force inside of you that won���t be denied. In your bones. Deep down and there���s nothing that will stand in the way.���
Laurel facing down her Alpha:
���Alpha?���
A low growl came from the beast���s muzzle sending shivers down her spine. Even if she shifted she wouldn't be able to battle him in time. All she could do was try. She leapt into the air, allowing her wolf to emerge.
What would your friends say is your best quality?
Perseverance. Loyalty. Hard working.
Are reader reviews important to you? Why?
Yes. I like to know I���m writing books that readers enjoy. Being an author can at times feel pretty solitary. Reviews are the best way to tell an author you appreciate their work.
What do you do when you don���t write? Like in ���Real Life���
I am a manager in a bookstore, a dog mom and wife. Hobby wise I enjoy crochet and needlework and my TBR pile will one day crush me in my sleep.
Tell us about your other books?
I have a large list of paranormal and erotic romance that can be found on my Amazon page. One of my favorite series are the Westmore Wolves books. All manner of shifters, vampires, gargoyles and fae reside in their world. I hope you check out the books if you get a chance.
I am currently hard at work on several new books. Mallory���s Mark (Demons in Darkness series), Burning Midnight (Witching Hour series) and quite a few more top secret projects soon to be revealed.
I also write paranormal romance with a little less heat under the name Dana Wright.
If you could share one thing about yourself that you would like readers to know what would it be?
Dog rescue is very important to me and my life is pretty much run by the furry kids in my household. They outnumber me. Every day. Lol.
Thanks for having me on the blog today. I hope you will look me up on twitter and pop by the FB page to say hello.
XOXO

S.O.W. & R.E.A.P. (Author Young���s travels in France)
Over the years, I���ve been asked, ���Why do you love Paris so much?��� My reply is the same ��� S.O.W.
Even-though the Parisian cityscape have changed over the years, these three words continue to shadow my existence whenever I���m in or out of Paris. S.O.W. is also the reason Walter and I choose France as our future home.
I contracted the romance bug in the autumn of 1966 when the ���Simorgh��� (my patriarch���s private jet) touched down Charles de Gaulle airport. A young teenager with a quest for adventure, I was whisked to the Paris Ritz Carlton in a shiny black Bentley. I had already fallen head-over-heels in awe and in-love with my host, our accompanying Arabian entourage, including my chaperone-cum-Valet-cum-lover, Andy; and of course, with Paris. That was before we even hit the private haute couture showings at Chanel, Dior, Ungaro, Givenchy, YSL and Patou. Not to mention Caf�� de Flore, La Belle ��poque, Maxim���s, and by no means least, Le Folies Bergers ��� places to see and being seen.
In the following years, I had accompanied many princes, princesses, sheiks, sheikas, together with their aristocratic Arabian harems, to this City of Seduction (S) and Originality (O). It was this French capital that taught me wit (W). Some say, wittiness is a congenital trait. I say, it is a learned experience through human relationships.
Whatever it is, I had return to the City of S.O.W.; where I had sown many a wild oat. Now, with my beloved ���hubby��� in tow, I���m here to R.E.A.P. its rewards.
You may ask, ���What the hell is R.E.A.P.?���
Whereby I will explain:
R ��� Romance was, still is and continue to exist in this alluring Capital of Love; amidst an influx of foreign refugees (a different story I���ll relate another day ����).
E ��� Elegance, Walter and I find irresistibly seductive within this sordid City of High Culture.
A ��� Authenticity, the Paris of Romance; NOT the Paris in Las Vegas, Nevada ����).
P ��� Paris: Sophistication, Originality, Wit, Romance, Elegance, Authenticity and finally, my jeu d'esprit where Perfection reigns supreme ��� PARIS ��� Mon Paree ����!

A special stone hidden in a quiet cove in Cornwall more than 200 years ago, is the object of a desperate search by two opposing factions. When Harry and his school friends discover a code whilst holidaying in the cove, they assume it will lead them to hidden treasure. But dark forces, with seemingly supernatural powers, are working against them. The teenagers soon find themselves caught up in a deadly battle, and will be lucky to escape with their lives, let alone get their hands on the treasure.
Fun, scifi and mayhem!
"This is an exciting story! There were quite a few plot twists that I did not expect. I was on the edge of my seat much of the time. There is also magic, action and bravery exemplified as these teens battle against forces they have little comprehension about."

About The Book 'The Darziods' Stone'
When the school summer trip to Blackpool gets cancelled, Harry's parents offer to include Harry's friends in their trip to Tredock Cove in Cornwall. Amelia, Mitch and Asad are grateful - Cornwall will be great and even if it isn't as great as Blackpool, anything is better than being stuck at home, right? Ryan is less convinced. He's not the most open-minded of boys and he sincerely believes that Cornwall is full of carrot-crunchers. But he goes along anyway, even if it is reluctantly. Even Ryan doesn't want to be left at home by himself.
And it doesn't take long for the quiet break in Cornwall to turn into something much more exciting - and frightening. The kids find a secret code and become convinced that cracking it will lead them to hidden treasure. And it might well do, but the code will also lead them to something much more dangerous... because as readers of The Darziods' Stone will already know, thanks to a prologue dating back to 1798, Tredock Cove was once the scene of something very sinister indeed. A ship returning from the Napoleonic wars once stopped off there. Its captain and boatswain were murdered and the rest of the crew disappeared, never to be found. The world never knew this but an experiment conducted by a band of prisoner alchemists, led by the evil de Richlieu, was to blame.
As our heroes search for treasure, they find themselves pitted against these ancient forces and they will need some extraterrestrial help if they ever hope to defeat them.

Luke Thibodeaux wants nothing more than to forget about his bad breakup, but his Alpha is pressuring him to find a new bond mate fast.
Irene Kirby has always known she was adopted, but she has no idea her birth parents were wolf shifters.
When chance throws her into Luke's path, she won't believe him when he tells her what she is -- especially since the only way to find out the truth is to sleep with him, which would release her wolf.
Convincing her becomes Luke's mission, but can he deal with Irene and his Alpha's expectations and someone make everyone happy?
���I want to shift now.��� Irene forced the words past the tightness squeezing her throat. Watershed moment. She would not be the same person anymore after she took this step. Forever different. Transformed. And not simply because she would meet her wolf. Sleeping with Luke would change her as well.
���What happened to the part where you swore you���d never sleep with me?��� His eyes glowed, almost feral, tempting Irene to fall into them and be swept away.
���That was such bullshit and you know it.��� She leaned forward to brush away that stubborn lock of his hair that had fallen into his eyes again. ���I���ve wanted to sleep with you since the moment you charged into my examination room. Couldn���t you tell?���
���Maybe,��� he said, a small smile quirking the corners of his sensual mouth.
When she let herself fall forward off the cot, he caught her and kissed her, his mouth hot and hard against hers.
Gasping for breath, she parted her lips, and their tongues tangled together. She lifted her arms, and he tore her tank top off before unhooking her bra so he could cup her breasts in his palms.
���You sure?��� He trailed kisses to her ear and nibbled on her earlobe. Bolts of electric desire sparked through her, making her blood dance.
���I���m not doing this just because I want to shift into a wolf.��� She tangled her fingers in his crisp, dark hair before finding his mouth with hers.
He yanked his shirt off as she moved to the cot. She slid off her skirt and panties, and he pressed against her from behind, his cock hard against her lower back. She groaned when he fondled her breasts and kissed her neck, sucking at the skin making her tingle all over.
When he slid one hand between her thighs, she shifted to allow him greater access. His hand was heavy and warm against her wet pussy. He found her clit with the ball of his thumb and rubbed. The gentle friction buckled her knees, but he held her up.
First he slid one finger, then two inside her, and continued to tease her clit with his thumb.
She gasped when she came, squirming against his hand, wanting more, so much more.
���We���re gonna break the goddamn bed,��� he predicted as they fell onto it.
���I don���t care. I just want you inside me.��� She twisted beneath him until she faced him. His face was flushed, his eyes dark.
He buried himself, balls deep, inside her, with one exquisite thrust, and they both groaned. He shut his eyes, but she kept hers open so she could watch him as he moved against her, his mouth dropping slightly open as they found their rhythm.
Jesus, he smelled so fucking good. She gave in to her desires and pressed her face against his muscled shoulder so she could take a deep breath.
Normally during sex she tried to hold her breath to avoid breathing her partner���s scent too deeply, but Luke smelled like summer, sunbaked grass, and she couldn���t get enough of the scent.
She darted her tongue against his skin, tasting him, and her mind nearly exploded under the onslaught of passion, desire, and something ��� else.
Claws seemed to scratch at her from the inside, but they didn���t precisely hurt, they seemed to unlock or unfurl something essential.
She cried out when Luke opened his eyes. They were no longer quite human. Feral, glowing. Wild.
���It���s my wolf,��� he told her. ���My wolf���s eyes. Yours are the same, darlin���. Bright, bright blue. My God, you���re beautiful.���

A Moment in Time ��� Author Young���s travels in France
The instant I stepped through the red door, I knew I had been here before. Although, the plush magenta upholsteries and the gold fringed red velvet curtains had been refurbished; its essence triggered memories I had long obliterated. It was the prime of Gay-Paree, I had a flirtatious dally in a m��nage �� cinq with Prince P, Baron Pierre, Jamail, (an Islamic school chum of the prince) and my then lover/chaperone/Valet, Andy.
After a provocative photo-shoot at Notre-Dame, the baron suggested we visit this historical eatery. Located at 24 Rue Chanoinesse, Paris 4th 75004, Au Vieux Paris d���Arcole, was the converted old Canon���s house - one of Paris��� oldest building, built in 1512.
Walter and I had crossed Petit Pont-Neuf (Small New Bridge) on foot, before arriving at Place Saint-Michel. After my photo op at La Saint-Chapelle and Saint-Michel���s fountain, our stomachs needed to be fed.
That was when we stumbled upon the charming Au Vieux Paris d���Arcole; after perusing the endless commercial bistros and brasseries, in and around ��le de la Cit�� (the spiritual and historical heart of old Paris).
When the waiter had taken our order, I related to ���hubby���, ���It was in this chamber, Baron Pierre and Jamail played footsies with me.���
No sooner had I uttered my declaration, I felt a foot flirting with my feet below table. We burst into laughter.
���Are you seducing me?��� I quipped.
Walter gave me a wicked winked and muttered, ���We should head back to our hotel after lunch.���
���Are we going to H��tel de Crillon?��� I queried.
���Why Crillon?��� he asked.
���That���s where we had our erotic m��nage �� cinq in the lap of luxury,��� I answered before I added, ���Darling, I don���t come cheap.���
���You���re not a cheap date, for sure.���
I responded merrily, ���I���m glad you are aware that la cr��me de la cr��me doesn���t come cheap.���
���That, I know,��� my beloved replied with a sly grin. ���Now that I���ve caught you, I ain���t letting you go.���
���You better not be so cocksure. I may just run back to Andy���s arms,��� I teased.
���I may not be as rich or as handsome as your exes. Those you described so indelibly and succulently in A Harem Boy���s Saga; a memoir by Young series.��� He paused before he continued, ���One thing I do know; I satisfy you more than any of them could.���
We laughed-out-loud because I knew, my ���hubby���s prowess is as potent as the day we met.
This and other amusing vignettes are documented in A Harem Boy���s Saga; a memoir by Young (moi ��� aka Bernard Foong) - (a 5 ��� 7 book autobiographical series): http://amzn.to/1FMlHVY
