Leap of Faith Celebration – Day 2

Well, the Mad Libs thing was a roaring success.

But I shall blithely go forward.

In the course of revising Leap of Faith, which you can buy here, I found out that Peruvians like to eat guinea pigs. Roasted on a spit. I don’t find this disgusting, like eating live baby octopi, but I don’t know if I could ever taste guinea pig. Especially since they serve it still looking like a rodent. If it was like a McGuinea Pig Strip, I might try it, but otherwise…

Anyway, today’s question is, would you try “cuy” as it’s called in Peru? Answer the comment section and you might win a free e-book from my backlist.

Leap of Faith Celebration – Day 1

It’s release day! Leap of Faith is now available for purchase. I’m going to be celebrating all week. Make a comment any day this week and I’ll enter your name in a drawing to win any electronic title from my backlist. If 10 people comment, I’ll pull five names. If 12 people comment, I’ll pull six names. I suck at math, but I think that might mean you have a 50% chance of getting a free book.

Let’s do a Mad Libs sort of thing today.

Think of:

a period of time
a name
a verb
four nouns
an adjective

Put your answers in the comments and I’ll insert them into the mini-blurb for Leap of Faith and post the (hopefully hilarious) results tomorrow.

Can you wait three more days?

Leap of Faith is going to be released on October 26. I can hardly wait. This story was previously published by another e-publisher, but during a time of intense turmoil for that company. Hence, Leap didn’t get the exposure or the sales that it might have. Years later, I submitted it to Liquid Silver, where Maria Rogers, my editor, helped me strengthen the story and in three days you can see the result.

Here’s a blurb:

Kira de la Fuente’s vacation to the land of her ancestors turns into a nightmare when her guide abandons her in the mountains of Peru. Without provisions or shelter, she is relieved when the enigmatic Amaru comes to her rescue. A powerful, self-assured man in his prime, he possesses an uncanny knowledge of ancient Incan ways. And for good reason.

Ever since he crossed the sun god centuries ago, Amaru has been paying the price—a life of isolation and misery, prayer and atonement. Kira’s arrival brings many good omens and Amaru comes to believe she might be the one to finally free him from his unearthly prison. But one last test has yet to be revealed, and it is Kira, not Amaru, who must pass it.

Leap of Faith Update

I just turned in the final line edits of Leap of Faith. It’s a novella that was once briefly offered by Phaze Books, but is now being released by Liquid Silver Books. Yay! It’s been revamped a bit. Ended up adding another sex scene.

The release date is sometime in October. That’s about all I know.

The first chapter opens with the heroine crossing a dangerous bridge and lo, I found a picture of an Incan bridge. How cool is that?

Here’s a short blurb for the book:

Centuries ago, Amaru defied the Incan sun god and has since been condemned to a life of isolation and misery. Only through faith will he find forgiveness. But is it his faith that is required, or that of the young woman who stumbles into his closed off world?
