Blurb/Synopsis:
Shattered Skies,
Beginning’s End, is a dramatic story of twisted killings and love and hate that
takes place within a horrific world where alien vampires have taken over the
earth and made humans their slaves. The vampires have created a new genetic
race, the Dominus, breeding a scary blood-drinking race of human and vampire
that prey off the humans that are left. People are relegated to the classes of
slaves, food and mates.
This is a world where
sex kills and a rogue group of humans kills as many of the Dominus as they can
by bedding them. This warrior group is led by mysterious doctor who has raised
the 16 members of the group since infancy, hidden away in an underground
bunker.
The plot twists and
turns as the heroine, the unselfish Catalina, rejects her traditional female
role and demands to fight the Dominus alongside the men, bedding and killing as
she goes. Her emotions tear her apart as she struggles with herself, torn
between a mad attraction for the Dominus King and her fellow warrior, Darien.
As the clashes between
Dominus and Vampire and Humans continue, Catalina is forced to face herself.
Could she really be destined to save the world as the enigmatic Doctor’s
ancient prophecy predicts?

Excerpt:
“Kitten, you have to
wake up. You are bleeding.” Then he was shaking me; shaking me so hard that he
was disturbing my easy state and that made me angry. I slowly opened my eyes
and he was there looking me over, eyes glistening. “I thought you were dead.
What happened? I felt you cry out to me. I felt it in my mind.”
Wow, he was beautiful
and he smelled of something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on; a mix of
vanilla and lilac maybe. Whatever it was, it made me feel safe. I didn’t know
where I was and I didn’t care, because as long as I could see him and smell him
I was where I was supposed to be. The look in his eyes took my breath away. It
was like he was looking at the most precious gemstone in the world. I knew that
I would never understand that look but my heart already did. I was truly loved
by two different men. Who could say that they were really that blessed in their
lifetime? I was sure the list was extremely short.
Sure the love was
different. One love had the passion to burn me like the sun with his kisses,
and the other could take away all my fears with just the brush of his skin, but
no matter the feeling that they gave me, the look in their eyes was the same. I
could die knowing that I may have been nothing to the world, but to these two
men I was everything.

Information:
I am a mother to three beautiful children,
they keep me busy. I live in a small town that’s filled with monsters and
really nice people alike. I love taking walks around the mountain trails where
I live and I love taking trips to the Ocean, especially the South Carolina
beaches. The ocean brings me tranquility and refreshes me, but I don’t get to
go there often enough. Some mornings I listen to nothing but sad country songs
for hours but when I write, I usually buckle down with my headphones and listen
to something raw and angry like
Seether, and Stone Sour. I can be shy around people but I’m mostly
always honest within myself. In many ways, on many levels, I express different
parts of myself through my characters. Someone told me once that you are only
as old as you feel and I love that! In
fact, I love that idea because personally, have no intentions of ever growing
up! I want to be 18 forever no matter
what they do to me. LOL!
