I'm always excited to host Daisy Banks. This talented lady is not only a fellow Liquid Silver pub sister and author of several intriguing romances, she has been kind enough to do a fair bit of beta reading on my own novels. She is an excellent writer and I highly recommend her books. She is here today to tell us about her newest,
To Eternity.
Welcome Daisy!
Thank you so much for hosting me,
Rosanna, and helping me celebrate the release of my new book To Eternity, the
second book in the Timeless series.
I hope those of you who enjoyed meeting
Magnus and Sian in Timeless will enjoy this next step in their story. I hope those of you meeting them for the
first time in To Eternity will want to find out about their past in Timeless.
I am presently in the process of writing
Out of Time, Book Three in the series and hope to have it completed this year.
In my previous posts in the tour I have
concentrated on Magnus and his werewolf heritage. Today I want to introduce
those of you who haven’t met him to Mr. Franklyn Gorsewell. Franklyn, Sian’s
ex-boss, head of Gorsewell Productions is the character who gave me most
trouble as I wrote To Eternity. I had never written a character quiet like him
before, but as I got to know him he let me in to some of his more unpleasant
qualities. Even when I realized what his intentions were toward Sian I hoped
I’d find something to explain them. I didn’t find much, and as Franklyn grew
his role, as they say in the theatre, I found I really disliked him. There were
chapters in his point of view that made me shudder. I’ve picked a short excerpt
from To Eternity to give you the chance to meet him.
I do hope you enjoy this.

Franklyn limped to the courtyard where the food wagon
stood, got a coffee, and with his hat dipped low on his brow, parked in a
shadowy corner to drink it. Astonishing how a gray raincoat and a fedora,
combined with a black walking stick, turned him into an invisible man. Best
solution all considered. No matter what, there was no way he’d have missed this
shoot. From the little he’d seen so far, things looked well organized, typical
Sian. He’d taught her well. She’d sure been eager to learn. They’d shared
breakfast meetings in the park that dragged through to dinner in the evening.
Days, weekends, he’d given her both so he could talk her through each task when
setting up a job, introduce her to the musicians, artists, and technicians who
were important to his world. All the time and effort he’d spent meant she had
learned fast until she had developed much of the skill of an expert in her
field with the panache of a young woman about town.
What a bloody fool he’d been. So many people had told
him how good they looked together. No one once asked if he truly was her uncle.
He shouldn’t have waited.
He inhaled and winced. The scent of hot coffee and
fried onions couldn’t mask the underlying smell here.
Prickles of gooseflesh pebbled his skin. A reaction to
the
odor of this place he couldn’t control. Something familiar
in the mix of scents goaded his senses, raised his need to leave a mark of
himself here so Johansson would know he’d been present today.
The lusty scream of a tormented electric guitar
blasted into the morning. The wails echoed around the courtyard. Sound, raw and
hot, thrummed through his veins.
He had to hand it to Sian. She’d worked her little ass
hard, quite literally, to make sure the Timeless film happened here.
Once he got her back to
London where she belonged, he’d find a way to express
his pleasure at the results of her work.
Thanks for reading.

To
Eternity-wild beneath the moon- Book Two in the Timeless Series.
Blurb
For four centuries Magnus has lived according to the dictates of
the moon, his heart isolated by the domination of his wolf nature. Now fate has
brought the beautiful, independent Sian to his house at Darnwell and their
irresistible attraction has exploded into a white-hot passion. Yet she is not
wolf, and the time has come for her to embrace the change. But once she
completes the ritual and claims her place next to Magnus, the rivals will
appear on the horizon…
