This Diesel Doggy is snug as a bug in a rug. Some shifters like it hotter. 😆 How's the temperature where you are?#winteralready #heatingpadpuppy https://www.instagram.com/p/BowdPOChw5Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12qr3c28qqgiv

When your muse refuses to cooperate, you take her to a mountain lake, and story plot her into submission. 😉 #coloradomountains #silverlake #cherryadairmethod #plottingbycolor #realtimeboard (at St Mary's Glacier, Idaho Springs) https://www.instagram.com/p/BomqzfcBLgG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p7jriw4om0ti

Thankful for the next Soul Mate Tree release

It's almost Thanksgiving and I'm longing for our Thanksgivings in Denver... we'd get together and invite anyone who didn't have family nearby. In lieu of cooking a turkey we hit up Honey Baked Ham for a ham and a turkey breast, but we cooked all the yummy side dishes. Instead of football we played/watched Xbox mini competitions.

We'll still have fantastic Turkey days this year, and hope you do too. But if you don't have any plans or want to hideaway from your family and just read a book, the next Soul Mate Tree is available now.

THE LEGEND OF THE SOUL MATE TREE

I am old, I am ancient,

my purpose is clear

To give those who are needy

a treasure so dear.

They who come to my roots,

touch my bark, stroke my leaves

Find the soul of their lives

if they but believe.

When I call and you listen,

your prize will be great

If your heart remains open

and you don’t hesitate.

Do you yearn? Be you lonely?

Is your time yet at hand?

Reach for me and I’ll give to you.

I’m yours to command.

For your trust, for your faith,

keep my secrets untold

And I’ll gift you forever,

to have and to hold.

THE STORM WITHIN by Cerian Hebert

Healed from her own loss, Juliana Hopkins wants nothing more than to mend reclusive artist Aidan Byrne’s heart, and help close a chapter in his life that has haunted him for over twenty years. Risking their newfound love, Juliana is determined to release the ghosts he can’t let go. Aidan has been in love with Juliana since the first moment he saw her, but if she can’t leave the tragedies of his past alone, he won’t be able to make a life with her. She offers him a love he never dared to want, but loving her could rip open all the old wounds he’d never been able to heal.

Available now.

October is our Soul Mate Tree Month!

Releasing Today!

When Cheryl Yeko and Char Chaffin (AKA CiCi Cordelia) asked us to join this project, we knew exactly who needed this magical tree to find his soul mate. Soul Song is a stand-alone, but set within our Diesel War Series. It is actually Book 2.5, taking place at the same time as Book 3.

The legend of the soul mate tree:

I am old, I am ancient, my purpose is clear

To give those who are needy a treasure so dear.

They who come to my roots, touch my bark, stroke my leaves

Find the soul of their lives if they but believe.

When I call and you listen, your prize will be great

If your heart remains open and you don’t hesitate.

Do you yearn? Be you lonely? Is your time yet at hand?

Reach for me and I’ll give to you. I’m yours to command.

For your trust, for your faith, keep my secrets untold

And I’ll gift you forever, to have and to hold.

An ancient legend spanning eras, continents, and worlds. To some, it’s nothing more than a dream. To others, a pretty fairy tale handed down through the generations.

For those in critical need of their own happy ending, a gift.

Dottie thought she had it all: a successful singing career, a handsome fiancé, and a starlet’s wardrobe. Sudden betrayal brought it all crashing down around her. Those she trusted most played her as nothing more than a pawn. One misstep while fleeing the scene trapped her in another world alone, save a mysterious visitor.

Guatimozin, an eagle shifter, has spent ages assisting people through the realm between life and death, leading them to join loved ones on either side. No one had ever made him want anything for himself until he discovered this city girl.

Forces plot against them and time is short. Soon, their chance for a happily ever after will be too late.

Short Excerpt:

Dottie wiped the tears from her face. Damn him, and damn his floosy too. She’d do what her mother constantly threatened her stepdad with, and remove his cock to wear it proudly on a chain around her neck.

I jus’ gotta find a way out of this kooky forest first.

Making her way back onto her feet, she dusted off her dress in a mindless motion. The fabric passed beneath her strokes smooth and dirt free. She studied the once vibrant red dress she’d worn on stage. The satin now appeared drab and colorless. Her bare feet peeked from beneath its hem, as clean as the moment she’d dabbed them dry from her bath. The blind sprint from her dressing room, across town, and up the hill, should have left them covered in filth.

In exasperation, she threw her arms in the air. “Swell. I mus’ be dead and I’m . . .”

She moved away from the tree to scrutinize her surroundings. As much as Dottie hoped she’d end up in heaven, her mother always insisted that, as a willful child trying to pass as something she wasn’t, her final destination would be a bit further down.

The sensation of electricity passing through the air made every hair stand on end as a matter-of-fact reply came from behind. “No, you aren’t dead, but you’re not exactly alive either. You’re in a realm known as the in-between.”

Spinning around, Dottie came face to face with a stranger. Like the tree, he appeared in color, only he wasn’t pink and purple. Instead, a tall man with reddish tan skin, swirling silver eyes, and waist length striking black hair, stared at her as though regarding a ghost. Thick muscular arms crossed over his chest as his shocked expression ease into a slow smirk, highlighting the defined beak-like nose, high cheekbones, and strong chin framing his mouth.

Nervously licking her lips, she couldn’t help but muse, Di Mi. Well hello, sailor.
