"Laura’s writing is so beautiful and visually descriptive that the reader will lose themselves in this book, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality."

Hostage

Quote of the day:

Chapter 21: Liberation

“A hostage?” Joseph asked, eyebrows raised. The look on his face was merely amused. “This will be fun.”

Passage of the day:

Chapter 12: Journey

They were obviously arguing, each of them transmitting the intensity of their power and skill, I could tell just by the set of their faces. Light flashed between them and magical shields flew up as they both deflected the energy. Another woman, luminous and authoritative, joined the other. Now it was two against one. More light flashed between the group, yet I was unable to see the outcome.
My focus was fading.

Finishing Touches

Well folks, it looks as though things are going as planned. I finished chapter 27 last night and now I only have two more chapters to write (Chapter 30 & Epilogue are already written). I will probably exceed my goal of 100,000 words for this book. I am just so happy to be coming to the end so I can send the rest of my book to the editor and get this sucker published!! -does a little happy dance-

Thank you, to all of my fans, who have supported me in this endeavor. Though I have written this faster than my friends and family had expected me to, I can promise that I will not fail you when it comes to this story. It will be fast-paced, action packed and full of romance and mystery!

Keep looking back here for more quotes and passages of the day!!

Thanks,

Laura

Longing

Quote of the day:

Chapter 24: Divine Library

“As three among you perish to the earth – bound by shadow and fire – do not be fooled by the warnings given to incite terror and mayhem. Those three who fought against the growing power will be laid to rest until the time comes – the time of light."

Passage of the day:

Chapter 16: Underground

We had an undeniable connection. I mentally sighed. It was in that moment that I realized how attached I had grown to him. Stupid hopeless longing; I was already doomed to heartache. An old commercial ad about your brain on drugs flashed through my head. This is your brain on Andrew."

Escape

Quote & passage of the day:

Chapter 17: Scheming

“Um … Anyone recently watched any James Bond movies or Mission Impossible? Could give us some insight,” I joked nervously.
Joseph sighed, though his smile was blinding. “That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind—”
“Yeah, you all thought that because I am super intelligent I’d have all the answers. Right? Well, I didn’t graduate with a degree on escape or take Getting out of a Secret Government Facility Alive 101. Maybe if I had detailed plans of the building, more information to go on … but I’ve only been here for a few minutes.”

Flame-thrower

Quote of the day:

Chapter 3: Celestial Being

The agent continued, not noticing my mind working a million miles an hour. “I’d like to request you join us at our P.I. Laboratory, to continue your research on this project.”
That was a surprise. It was like he read my mind. “P.I. Lab?”
“Paranormal Investigations,” he answered with a slight twitch of his lips. He obviously thought something was funny about this. Maybe he didn’t believe in the supernatural.

Passage of the day:

Chapter 22: Ladies of Darkness

Aiden was on fire, his skin blazing with his viciousness. He was fighting against the two white-eyed women at the same time, his palms shooting fire. Human flame-thrower, I thought dazedly. But I knew better – he wasn’t human at all.

Cursed

Quote of the day:

Chapter 14: Questions

“Their warnings are never clear,” he barely whispered. “Usually they only cause harm. Angels are not afraid of the dark, but we are creatures of light. We enjoy the sun. To be a Shadow is a curse.”

Passage of the day:

Chapter 20: The Clock is Ticking

They were all gaping at me. Joseph’s mouth was ajar while Andrew’s eyes burned into mine, the color of melted treasure. His expression was one I couldn’t place. Astonishment? Shock? Disbelief? Ehno and Lucia had their faces practically plastered to the glass walls, their expressions just as unreadable. The emergency lights barely lit the lab and the flashing yellow lights made the whole scene look surreal – dream like. But this was reality.
