I'm so excited that novelist Jenna Storm is visiting with us today, to introduce her new work The Burning Seal! Sounds awesome! Take it away, Jenna!
Hello Rosanna!
Thank you for allowing me to visit your blog and share some information on my
new paranormal romance, The Burning Seal. Published through MuseItUp
Publishing it is available for download in several formats.
I enjoy writing
very much and consider myself lucky for the opportunity to put on paper (lol!
cyber-paper) the stories and scenes that fly through my head. I hope you enjoy
reading about The Burning Seal.
Back Cover:
Detective Danni
Keegan is plunged into a dark, demonic world where survival depends on
deciphering the connection between ritual killings, and a demon terrorizing her
for a “gift” she wasn’t even aware she possessed. She must unravel her
dreams of another woman who lived during ancient times and battled a
bloodthirsty demon—the same demon who now hunts Danni. The loss of her
body and soul looms imminent as her only chance to destroy the demon depends on
changing her new partner’s convictions. He is a sinfully sexy man, who exudes
power and self-assurance with the ease of breathing and has an iron-willed
determination not to believe in the paranormal.
Excerpt: (Danni, the heroine of the book is a psychic and she’s
about to relive another woman’s long ago
battle with the demon)
She stared at her
bare feet visible because the hem of her dress tangled around her legs. Beyond
the demon, mauve spires from a far off castle shot into the sky. The majestic
sight, coupled with the cumbersome dress she wore spoke of an ancient time. He
wrenched her arm, drawing her to the very edge of the cliff as she teetered on
her toes. The wind gusted off the ocean and batted her body. Her mind slipped
gears and fought to understand what happened.
Below her the angry sea roiled, while above,
steel gray clouds churned, obliterating the once sunny sky. One minute she was
in her house fighting an insurmountable force; a demon, and the next she was
outside where the air smelled clean, unspoiled and the ocean slammed the rocks.
The beast’s hands
tightened. She feared his strength would shatter her bones. The edge of the
cliff loomed too near. “Sara, the book,” the voice demanded.
She felt like the
only passenger on a runaway freight train. No. That wasn’t entirely true.
Impossibly, Sara was here too and the unknown woman’s hate for the demon
overpowered everything and prompted Danni to speak things of which she had no
understanding.
Scathing words fell
unbidden from her lips. “You are a soulless beast from hell. A demon. You will
not command me.” Her shrill vow rippled in the air, the words bowing under the
weight of her promise.
Realization rushed through Danni and soured
her stomach as everything clicked into place. She was a prisoner, a conduit,
forced to endure Sara’s experiences, speak Sara’s words while retaining her own
thoughts and emotions.
She didn’t know why the
other woman chose her to speak through.
Nothing makes
sense. Not from the moment I opened my front door and let the demon in, to this
moment, when I feel myself growing smaller as Sara takes over my mind and body.
Her heart raced. She tried to scream, to push the foreign energy from her, but
she wasn’t strong enough. At this moment, for this portion of the battle it
wasn’t her turn to speak or fight. Terrified, she was unable to stop Sara from
taking complete control and slotting her into the role of voyeur.
"I'll never
tell you the book's location. I'll never give you more power to kill the
innocent. I won't let you start the cycle of death, to turn the tides of power.
You will never release the Hierarchy from their chains to walk the earth again.
I know you'll kill me, but I'll never give you what you want. Never!"
"You offer
your life so easily, Sara. What about those you love? Can you protect them
forever, through the centuries even? I think not.” He gnashed his teeth, a
rabid beast looking to consume her. “While I torture you and bring hell to your
feet, I will slaughter those around you and you'll beg for death."
Jenna, that is a fantastic excerpt. The books sounds so good. Congrats.
