Sneak Peek of Book 2!
Hello everyone,
I apologize for being away for so long. I had a lot of things to take care of personally now that I had the time and have also been hard at work at getting Book 2 of the "War of Destiny" series ready for publication.
Work on "Pursuit into Darkness" is coming along and has a tentative release date around Halloween if all goes well.(Knock on wood, please.)

Prologue
I sat in our garden, staring at the closed flower buds. It was one thing I missed about being human – seeing the vast array of colors produced by plants. I was never awake early enough to see the beautiful blooms. Roses, in particular had a special, if painful place in my heart. My daughter had been fascinated by the delicate patterns of the petals when we used to sit together. I still wonder what color would have been Marie’s favorite if she had survived. The thought brought sharp unwanted pain. Even now, it was difficult to think of our time in the garden.
It was hard to believe the year is 1582; over seventy years after Samuel had rescued me from my husband. We were again living in London, but life was different this time. We had only moved back into the area a few years before and have enjoyed the peace we’ve had the last few decades. We were now living a lifestyle similar to the one I had been used to as a human. An elegant mansion, finely tailored clothes. The only thing we didn’t have was servants. I found it interesting which vampires were relaxed with this lifestyle and who was not.
I couldn’t say for sure when I turned the corner and actually began to live again instead of simply existing. When had most of my irrational fears faded? Did it happen the night I found out Gregory was dead? I suspected it happened the night I had spent in Samuel’s arms, allowing him to love me. We have never spoken about it, but I know by the look he sometimes gives me when I’m with Adam, that he certainly hasn’t forgotten. Neither have I.
I honestly believed that my most difficult times were behind me. After all that I had been through as a human, I thought that learning how to become a strong vampire to overthrow the leader would be easy. The rest of the ka-tet seemed to believe I could do it. I guess I should have asked Samuel for the fine print of our agreement. Maybe then I would have been more prepared for what happened next.
