Rocket City Lit FestI did a little shopping today for some zombie themed decorations for my table at the Rocket City Lit Fes. Oddly enough, despite how popular zombies are right now, I didn't find much, but that is okay. I found enough. I also grabbed some cool Halloween candy to give out.

******Resistant******
Excerpt from Chapter 2
~~~One night everything was quiet on my street, then the next night, I woke to the sound of screams. My house stayed completely locked down whenever I was in it, which made me feel secure and simultaneously like a crazy person. The fence hummed with electricity and it was both a welcome sound and an annoying one. When the outbreak happened, I knew I was safe.~~~

#MMCM Meet My Character Monday #Blog #Hop - Meet HIM from HIM, a #Suspense/Thriller Coming Soon
Good morning folks. Welcome back to the Meet My Character Monday Blog Hop. If you have a character you want to introduce or to read about more amazing characters, visit the Meet My Character Monday website.
A quick announcement, HIM has a release date of February 28th, 2014. I’m so excited, so today I want to introduce you to the villain of HIM.
I did not give Amy’s abuser a name or describe him physically. I didn’t name him for many reasons. One is because Amy is constantly telling people, “Don’t say that man’s name, please. I can’t bear to hear his name.” In the following excerpt, we hear her explanation for this:
“I can take care of myself. And this he you are referring to, he’s your uncle…”
“Don’t.”
“Don’t what?”
“Don’t say his name. I refuse to ever say his name. I don’t want to hear his name either. I just can’t. Just call him, he. That’s what I do.”
“Why can’t we use his name?”
“Because he makes me say it too much when he…” I broke off unable to continue.
In another scene where Amy is investigating him, trying to gather evidence against him, we find out that his other victims refuse to say his name as well, and we see how hearing and saying his name affects his victims:
I gave her a long moment to try to put the names together, but when she didn’t, I said his name and how I was related to him. The second the words came out of my mouth, I knew. She looked just as sick at hearing them as I was at saying them. His name was something I absolutely refused to say aloud. When I did, a bit of stomach acid or chunks of food usually came up. My insides started to shake as if I’d had too much caffeine or sugar. My stomach tightened, cramped, and then I felt as if I was going to have diarrhea.
I purposely didn’t give him a physical description so that the reader could picture for themselves what this man looked like, sounded like, etc. I also did this because Amy refuses to see him as a person. I personally picture him as a man in his mid-forties, six-feetish with dark hair and eyes.
He has been married once and has two children: Eve and Michael. He had two steady girlfriends, but the second one, features most prominent in the novel. She has two children: Kyle and Katie. Amy suspects that he has raped Katie and had a hand in Kyle’s death, but just how much of hand, he hopes no one ever finds out.
The man has two distinct personalities throughout the novel: the smooth talking brother, which we see in the following scene:
“Thanks, sis. You’re so good to me.” He hugged her tight in a way that said he loved her and couldn’t imagine not having her in his life. She hugged him back just as tightly. The sight of him acting so normal made me want to scream in frustration. With him acting like brother of the year, I would never be able to convince anyone of who he really was.
And the abuser, which we see in this scene:
He lunged for me and pulled me out of my chair by my ponytail. I yelped in pain, and instinctively reached up to try and pull his hand away. When I did, his other hand grabbed me by the throat and squeezed. “Listen little girl, you do as I say without the lip, do you hear me?”
Fortunately, for all the other characters in the novel, he doesn’t survive. Coming upon the body on the deck one character describes the scene this way:
I let my eyes take in the scene: the bloody boardwalk, the dirty, sandy, naked man lying face up on the warming wood. Thankfully, someone had covered his middle so that he wasn’t completely exposed. My stomach heaved at the sight of his open eyes, staring straight toward the heavens.
But the question is, who killed him and why now?
To find out more about this novel, check out the novel’s Facebook page or read the first few chapters on Goodreads.

#8Sunday and Snippet Sunday 1-17-15 Blog Hop Post from SHIFTER, PA/RO
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my sixteenth Weekend Writing Warriors’ #8Sunday and my eighth Snippet Sunday post. If you want to read more excerpts from a great deal of authors or to join in the fun, stop by both blogs and peruse their sight.
Today’s excerpt comes from chapter sixteen of my supernatural romance, Shifter. In this scene, we see Devan and Dimitri’s reaction to someone flirting with Abby.
“Nah, I bet their fathers would love to see you running down the street.” He looks to my breasts, the tops of which the sports bra and tank top I’m wearing have pushed up, and they are nearly spilling over.
I know most men are breast men, but I didn’t realize that so many would be willing to look pass the roundness of the rest of my body. Before I can respond, Dimitri leaps from the back of the sofa and bounds toward me. Devan comes back into my line of sight a second later, looking a bit angry.
His expression pisses me off. How dare he get jealous. He could have had me, if he had wanted me.
Want to know what read more about how these two react to someone new flirting with the woman they desire even though they don’t know the other has feelings for her, download your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, or Barnes and Noble. To find out more about this novel or me, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.
**** SHIFTER is starting out the New Year with an altered cover, new flyer, and a reduced price. If you love witches, curses, werewolves, shapeshifters, and angels, SHIFTER has them all along with a few burly alpha males, one timid, overweight heroine, some steamy sex scenes, and a happily ever after ending. Stop by your favorite online retailer and download your copy today. This 374-page, stand-alone eBook is only $3.99. SHIFTER has a 4.55 rating on Goodreads, a 4.6 rating on Amazon, and a 4.75 rating on Smashwords.

WIP IT UP WEDNESDAY 1-14-15 - Excerpt from Resistant, a Sci/Fi Romance
Welcome back to WIP IT UP WEDNESDAY. I hope everyone is staying warm this winter. We’ve has some cold days, but no snow. “If it is going to be below freezing it should be snowing,” my mother said this morning when we went for our morning walk. I agree.
If you are new to this or just deciding that joining this hop would be a great idea, visit the WIP IT IP WEDNESDAY blog home page at: http://wipitupwednesday.blogspot.co.uk/ to read the sign up instructions. Also on that page, you will find links to other wonderful authors and their WIPS.
This is my seventh week on this blog hop. This week piece comes from my current romance WIP, Resistant. Resistant is a romance set in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. I’m talking to a photographer right now about photo options for this cover, so stay tuned for that an the synopsis. I hate writing those, so I’ll probably wait until the last moment to write it, as usual, but it will come. So on to the excerpt. I’m moving ahead a little more. I know everyone loved the steaminess of my last post, but this one is tame and a great deal shorter. This scene is pivotal though, as you see Sahara growing bolder in her actions even if she doesn’t quiet trust her feeling for Daniel.
---
We pulled up directly in front of the house a half an hour later. The sight of all of our vehicles would be a terrifying sight to those inside, but I hoped that when the group only saw four women (one from each truck) and Desmond they wouldn’t attack. After much debate and me dealing with Daniel’s outrage over my plan, we decided to go in without face covers and some of our weapons. If our people had been doing their jobs correctly, the short walk from the trucks to the door should be uneventful, but Daniel was determined that all our exposed skin was covered. I tried to explain to him that if we did that they wouldn’t immediately see us as women, and would go on the defensive.
He finally relented, but he wasn’t happy about it. His look of fear, desperation, and anger had me wanting to pull him to me and kiss him until he calmed down. I even caught myself moving close to him and reaching out to touch his forearm, but I stopped myself before I did anything more. Daniel didn’t move as he watched me, but Charles gave me a knowing look, and I ignored him. I mentally slapped myself for what I nearly did, and moved away before Daniel could say anything more.
---
I hoped you enjoyed this exceprt. Just a little update on HIM, a novel that some of you are following, I’m making my way through one last read-through before sending it off to my beta readers. I’ve also made a slight adjustment to the cover to make my name stand out more. HIM is not a romance, but a suspense thriller, but if any of you would like me to add you to my list of beta readers, email me at: jennifer.powell.reynolds@gmail.com. To read the first two chapters of HIM, visit: https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/...
----
One last note. My only other romance novel, SHIFTER, has a slightly altered cover, a pretty new flyer, and a new lowered price of $3.99 if anyone is interested. If you love witches, curses, werewolves, shapeshifters, and angels, SHIFTER has them all along with a few burly alpha males, one timid, overweight heroine, some steamy sex scenes, and a happily ever after ending.
