Tuesday Teaser--SAMAEL

The Tuesday Teaser this week is from SAMAEL, the first book in the Blackwell Brothers' Redemption series.

Being the sons of the Grim Reaper comes with expectations, and their father is not happy at how they’ve been conducting business. He’s given them each an ultimatum— learn to reap with compassion and do the job to his standards or face eternal exile. Stranded in the town of Redemption with limited powers, no money, and no way to communicate with the outside, they’ll all play the game, reap the soul, and return to their normal lives. It’s a straightforward plan—until they meet their assignment.

He pushed into a seated position and got his first glimpse of himself. It wasn’t only his watch that was gone. He no longer wore his custom Tom Ford suit and hand-tooled Italian shoes. In their place were worn jeans, a plain white T-shirt, a battered leather jacket, and boots that had seen their best day a decade ago.

He pushed himself upright and brushed the dirt and debris from his clothes. Raking his fingers through his hair, he scanned his surroundings. There were trees everywhere, not a high-rise to be seen. A huge crow swooped down and perched on a nearby branch, cold black eyes staring directly at him.

“Malaki. Why am I not surprised the old man sent you to spy on me?” Crows were often employed as messengers between the land of the living and the realm of the dead. Malaki was his father’s companion, his personal assistant, as it were. “You tell him I’ll play his game, and I’ll damn well win.”

NEW YEAR, NEW SERIES

 It's the start of a brand new year, and I have a brand new series!

SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Seven brothers, seven sins.

Only when a virtue goes to an extreme does it become a sin. A person’s greatest strength becomes a weakness if not tempered, or at least that’s what their daddy told them when he bestowed one of the sins on each of them. Pride for Cyrus, the oldest, followed by greed for Josiah, wrath for Eli, envy for Zachariah, lust for Levi, gluttony for Noah, and sloth for Silas.

Loyalty to family is bred into their bones as much as their werewolf genetics. They live by three simple rules: Stay away from other wolves and pack politics. Protect what’s ours. Humans and wolves don’t mix.

 Fugitive apprehension, abduction rescue and retrieval, bodyguard, they do it all and then some … if the price is right.

Come what may, the Sin brothers protect what’s theirs, no matter the cost.

ELIJAH, the first book in the series is coming JANUARY 27TH! Preorder your copy today.

Elijah

Seven Deadly Sins, Book 1

 

Bounty hunter and werewolf, Elijah Sin lives by one rule: Stay away from other werewolves and pack politics at all costs. Known as the seven deadly Sins, he and his brothers are outliers living on Sin Mountain in Kentucky.

Her daddy’s death has sent Kinley Wright on the run from her former pack to avoid a forced mating. Desperate for help, she tries to hire Eli, only to discover he’s a wolf, like her.

Under threat from her former pack, there is only one place Eli and Kinley can turn for help—his brothers. Blood will spill and lives will be lost. Trust is fragile between them, but the attraction is explosive. Even if they survive the coming storm their love might become a casualty.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

 Happy December 24th!

A Visit from St. Nicholas

by Clement Clarke Moore (1822)

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."
