Excerpt from Shadow’s Edge: Book 1 of The Kyn Kronicles:
Walking into
the dim house, Raine braced herself for the smell which usually accompanied a
violent death. She knew that smell. It
was distinctive. It reminded a person of raw meat, coppery blood. A scent
warning you that whatever you found, it wasn’t going to be recognizable.
She was a few
steps behind the two men and coming down the short entry way when she realized there was no odor. No blood, no raw
meat. She let out the breath she was holding. Yet, there were spine tingling
traces of magic raising bumps along her skin as she drew closer to the front
room.
Two agents
passed her, heading out of the house, small evidence bags in their gloved
hands. Osborn stopped just to the left of the entry way to the front room. In
the middle of the opening, Gavin came to a halt blocking Raine’s view. She
stepped around to his right and came to an abrupt stop, puzzled.
Bane Mayson
was sprawled on the faded green couch under the picture window. At first glance
the scene didn’t make sense. There were no visible wounds, no horrific
mutilations, nothing to show how he died. Just the skitter of magic down her
spine, making the deceptively calm scene in front of her much more ominous.
“Can you give
a positive ID?” Osborn’s rough voice pulled her gaze back to him. He was
looking at Gavin who wasn’t answering. She tilted her head to find out why then
realized Gavin was looking at her.
“What?” she
asked.
“I’ve never met him,” he said blandly. “Just
spoke to him on the phone.”
“Oh.” A little
disconcerted, she turned back to the waiting agent. “Yes, that’s Bane Mayson.”

Bio:
Growing up on the
Arizona-Mexico border, Jami Gray was adopted at the age of 14 and suddenly
became the fifth eldest of 37 children. She graduated from Arizona State
University with a Bachelor’s in Journalism and three minors-History, English,
and Theater. Shortly after marrying her techie-geek hubby (who
moonlighted as her best friend in high school) she completed a Masters in
Organizational Management from University of Phoenix Oregon.
Now, years later,
she’s back in the Southwest where she’s outnumbered in her own home by
two Star Wars obsessed boys, one Star Wars obsessed husband, and an
overly-friendly, 105-pound male lab. Writing is what saves her sanity.

Blurb for Shadow’s
Edge:
Everyone fears what hunts in the shadows—especially the
monsters…
It takes a monster to hunt one, and
for Raine McCord, forged in the maelstrom of magic and science, she’s the one
for the job. In a world where the supernatural live in a shadowy existence with
the mundane, a series of disappearances and deaths threatens the secrecy of her
kind and indicates someone knows the monsters are alive and kicking.
Partnering up with the sexy and tantalizing Gavin Durand proves to be a
challenge as dangerous as the prey she hunts.
When the trail points back to the foundation which warped Raine’s magic as a child, her torturous past raises its ugly head. Gavin and Raine sift through a maze of lies, murder and betrayal to discover not only each other, but the emerging threat to them and the entire magical community.

Blurb for Shadow’s
Soul:
Some nightmares are born of love…
Raine McCord has no problem taking down the
monsters of the world, it’s one of the reasons she’s so good at her job. So playing bodyguard to Cheveyo, head Magi of
the Northwest, as he consults with the Southwest Kyn should be an easy
assignment. Unfortunately, simple task turns into a nightmare when Cheveyo is
kidnapped and Raine is left for dead by one of the Kyn’s most feared beings, a
Soul Stealer.
The Stealer’s attack leaves lasting wounds,
undermining Raine’s confidence as a warrior and damaging her unruly magic. Her
ability to heal her mind and spirit hinges on the one man who can touch her
soul, Gavin Durand. Compelled to face
the emotions raging between them, they must embrace not only their stormy
relationship but their evolving magic to escape the twisted threads of murder
and betrayal to find Cheveyo.
As Raine and Gavin come together and begin to
unravel the complex web of secrets and hidden vendettas haunting the Southwest
Kyn, they discover unsettling new truths that threaten their very existence.
Can't wait for Shadow's Moon :)

ReplyDeleteFor moi--I picked up Shannon Mayer's PRICELESS. A wild Urban Fantasy that will keep you turning pages until the wee hours of the morning!
I am fascinated by these excerpts. I only wish I'd discovered this series sooner. I love paranormal mystery/suspense novels and can't seem to find enough of them. The writing here has really piqued my interest. I cannot wait to read more and find out what happens. Thanks so much for sharing. And holy crap! If I almost went crazy with only ONE sibling. I can only imagine my insanity level with almost 30. Your tolerance for people far surpasses mine. I admire your strength of character, as well. michelle__willms@yahoo.com
