Description:
Blue
Brennan is jaded and bitter despite her pinup girl looks and quick
wit. Night after night, she scours the Seattle club scene looking for
someone or something to fill the emptiness inside.
When
she meets the mysterious Kasey, her world stops… literally.
He claims she has the ability to control time and stuns her even
further when he reveals his own gifts.
Blue
is inexplicably drawn to Kasey and reluctantly enters his world
filled with a new breed of humanity. They’re misfits like her,
blessed or cursed with powerful abilities, struggling to hide their
differences from the rest of society.
Then
the group discovers
a nameless, faceless sociopath with nightmarish powers; and he’s
coming for Blue. She’s left reeling when they discover her gifts
are the key to defeating his terrible evil and saving them all.
Now
she must race
against the clock to harness her own powers and save her new friends.
Can she be more than a renegade? Can she be a hero too?
Excerpt;
“Kasey,”
I yelled stupidly, knowing it wouldn’t do any good but unable to
stop myself. “Kasey, where are you?”
I
burst through another door to find the bathroom, a layer of steam
frozen in the air. I pulled the curtain back without even thinking
about who might be in the shower, and slumped with relief when I
found Kasey. He held a washcloth to his face as a stream of water
rained down on him, frozen in place.
“Kasey,”
I breathed happily, and reached out to grab his hand.
As
I touched him, the same spark I always felt when we made contact
erupted and the world came to life again. Water spewed all over me,
soaking my clothes, spilling over onto the floor, but I didn’t
care.
Kasey
startled and yelped a little when he saw me. He recovered quickly.
“Blue? What happened?”
I
smiled, my tears mixing with the hot water from the shower as I
launched myself at him, hugging him tightly. He smiled back and
wrapped his arms around me.
Thank
god I found you! I thought. “I’m so glad you’re here,” I
whispered in his ear.
“I
knew you would come back,” he whispered back, just before his lips
found mine.
About
the Author:
Rose
Shababy and her family reside in eastern Washington State. Rose grew
up in the Northwest but swears she’s going to move to warmer
climates someday. She’s claimed this for over 20 years, however,
and has yet to move more than 75 miles away from her mother.
Rose
has a deep love of all things Star Trek and yearns to travel the
heavens, as well as an intense desire to be bitten by a radioactive
spider.
Unfortunately
she sucks at science and math so she hasn’t been able bring her
dreams to life, instead living vicariously through books, comics,
television and film. She hopes to someday make a million dollars so
she can afford to buy her way to the international space station, but
she’d settle for being able to fly around the world and leap tall
buildings in a single bound.
Rose
also loves to cook and worked for years in a gourmet Italian grocery
and deli where she learned to hone her skills. She prepares culinary
masterpieces for her family, but fervently wishes the dishes would
wash themselves. Especially now that her dishwashers/children are
nearly grown and only one still lives at home.
Rose
likes to use her free time wisely. For instance, she likes to
daydream, will often read for hours until she falls asleep on the
couch with an electric blanket and a warm tabby cat curled up on her
hip, as well as spending cozy weekend days watching Syfy movies like
Sharknado and Mega Piranha with her husband.
If
Rose were a cartoon animal, she’d prefer to be a wise old owl or a
sleek and sexy jaguar, but in reality she’d probably be a myopic
mole with coke-bottle glasses.
