Suddenly things start to spiral out of control and things aren’t as they seem. Life is no longer simply black and white, love versus hate. Suddenly, it’s hard to figure out which of those four letter words is true.

Especially when she can’t look away from those devil eyes.

I love you. I hate you. I love you. I hate you. Which is it? I don’t even know anymore.

Well, let’s find out.

This 15,000 word novella contains coarse language, angst-driven young adults, and a lot of pent-up frustration.

Oh yeah. Plus love and a little bit of hate.

American Girl on Saturn Blast

 

AGOS Kindle CoverBook Info-

Title- American Girl on Saturn

By- Nikki Godwin

Publication Date- August 28, 2013

Blurb-

The summer after graduation is supposed to be that first real taste of freedom - but not for eighteen-year-old Chloe Branson. Just as that breeze of freedom is making its way into her galaxy, her secret-service-agent dad drops a meteor-sized bomb of bad news on her and her sisters. An attempt has been made on the lives of Canadian boyband, Spaceships Around Saturn, during their USA tour, and the guys have to go into hiding ASAP. The only problem? In the midst of the crisis and media frenzy, their dad volunteered to hide the guys...in their house.

Six-year-old Emery is as ecstatic as any self-proclaimed Saturnite would be, but Chloe and her seventeen-year-old sister Aralie watch their summer plans crash and burn like a falling star. The SAS guys aren't happy with the situation, either. Bad boy Jules picks fights with Aralie about everything from his Twitter followers to his laundry, and heart-throb Benji can't escape Emery's fangirlisms for more than three minutes.

But after the super-cute Milo kisses Chloe during a game of hide-and-seek, she finally understands what Emery means when she talks about SAS being "out of this world." If this is what Saturn feels like, Chloe doesn't want to come back to Earth.

Blurb:
After the Second American Civil War, a nation divided. The Federal Union controls most of the country enforcing harmony and an all-female society with the help of EggFusion Fertilization and Female Mechanized Warriors based near Knoxville. The male-dominated Appalachian Outland promotes rugged individualism, but Thane Edwards has a monopoly of power, church, and the economy. He enforces this with his Rangers, loosely modeled on the legendary Texas Rangers. The governor of Tenn-tucky and the Outland warlord conclude a secret deal that each believes will enhance their power. Geo is a Daniel Boone type frontiersman who hungers to see more of the world than the tiny impoverished Outland glen where he and his pa hide from local Rangers. Geo fights Union mechs and Outland Rangers to protect friends, neighbors, and refugees fleeing the Federal Union and Ranger brutality. Annabelle is a tough yet fragile tomboy who lost her parents at age three and was raised by Geo's estranged Mom. Annabelle develops a rebellious streak in her conformist society (Federal Union). She becomes a mech warrior to see the forbidden Outland. When she refuses a politically arranged marriage to the Outland warlord, he kidnaps her and her adopted sister. Pursued by Union mechs and Outland Rangers, Geo and Annabelle must come together to rescue her sister and gain justice for his pa's murder. While trying to survive, can they trust growing feelings for each other despite being sworn enemies?

Guest Author Lance Erlick shares his most memorable summer time with us.

 

LE-Pix

 

My most memorable vacation was one summer while I was in college. I had planned to spend two months in Europe with a good friend. At the last minute, he backed out. I decided to go alone.

With a Eurail pass and limited funds, I backpacked around Europe, sometimes sleeping under the stars. Other times, I took the train at night to a city some distance away so I could sleep between cities, and maybe return the next night because I hadn’t finished visiting the place I’d left. Every two or three days, I would find a cheap hotel, hostel or someplace to shower and clean up before continuing on. One time, I delivered a car for an agency from Copenhagen to Bergen with a couple guys I met at a hostel. That provided free transportation and a chance to see the Norwegian countryside.

I met some amazing people on the trains, in the hostels, and at the campsites. One night while camping in the open, it started raining, hard. A guy I met on the train offered to share his tent with me so I didn’t have to sleep in the mud. A lot of the people I met, I probably would not have chanced upon if my friend had come along. It would have been an entirely different experience.

I had a great time visiting Rome, Athens, London, Paris, Vienna and many other cities and towns across Europe. I got to see the sights, taste a wide variety of foods, and use the languages I had learned to get around. The best part was meeting so many interesting people from all over and sharing stories with them.

Beyond the Eyes Tour

 

Character

 

Today we have Paige Reed from the Beyond The Eyes Series with us for an interview. Let’s find out more about her and her world.

 

Describe yourself what is your worst and best quality?

I’m five foot three, I have long, straight dark red hair and dark green eyes. I’m eighteen. My worst quality is I’m stubborn to a fault. My best quality is I’m loyal.

What is the one thing you wish other people knew about you?

I wish I can tell people what I really am, but I can’t. Only Nathan, Carrie and Tree knows.

What is your biggest secret something no one knows about?

I like Ameerah who is a dark spirit. We’re becoming friends.

What are you most afraid of?

I’m afraid I’ll fail the human race.

What do you want more than anything?

A normal life with Nathan, but that’ll never happen.

What is your relationship status?

I’m in a committed relationship with Nathan.

How would you describe your sense of fashion?

I have a laid back punk style where it’s not too ostentatious.

How much of a rebel are you?

On a scale of 1-10 I’d say I’m an 8.

What do you considered to be your greatest achievement?

Overcoming my emotional issues and becoming a stronger person.

What is your idea of happiness?

Waking up in Nathan’s arms and not having a care in the world.

What is your current state of mind?

Anxious.

What is your most treasured possession?

The silver claddagh ring Nathan gave me.

What is your most marked characteristic?

I’m outspoken.

Not telling Carrie and Tree about my premonitions.

What is the quality you most like in a man?

Loyalty.

What is the quality you most like in a woman?

Loyalty.

Who is your favorite hero in fiction?

LOL. That is a question you should be asking Tree. He’s totally into comic book heros . . . I’d have to say Batman because he has to use his wits.

Which living person do you most admire?

My best friend Tree. Don’t tell him that because he’ll get a big head. LOL

If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

I’d want to be taller.

Now immortal, Paige is emotionally and physically stronger than ever. She must find the location of the ancient incantations to prevent mass genocide. But the war against good and evil is spawning another war–a battle between the dark spirits themselves. Paige is saddled in the center of both growing revolutions and is ready to take on the dark forces. But Nathan’s overprotectiveness prevents her from taking action, and he’s hiding things.

Paige’s personal life gets more complicated when Brayden arrives back in town and offers the equal partnership she desperately craves from Nathan. Then there’s Carrie and Tree, her two best friends and only family she has left. Unfortunate circumstances thrust them into Paige’s dark world, giving her no choice but to allow Nathan to arm them with combat techniques in hope they’ll be able to protect themselves.

Time is running out. Paige not only needs to find the incantations but also to untangle the bands around her heart and make a decision that could leave her with a life worse than death–a life of betrayal from the ones she trusted most.

Book Description:

Daphne Foster is a substitute teacher stuck in an English class, waiting for that dreaded parent-teacher conference. With much preparation and anxiety, she encounters the unforgettable Charlie Cross. His charm and good looks, win her over but rumors of his involvement with organized crime make his continued disappearances disturbing.

In walks Heathcliff Vanderpool, creating a love triangle of unusual sorts. Unknown to Daphne, Heathcliff and Charlie are old friends: Older than she could have imagined. With Charlie away on business, Daphne and Heathcliff discover a passion between them lying beneath the surface. As their souls link, pulling away from Charlie becomes next to impossible. Will his involvement in organized crime consume them both before she’s able to get free? When you become “linked,” the choice may not be your own.

Excerpt:

“Mr. Cross,” I started, leaning into him so that no one else could hear me. “What are you doing here?”

“It’s nice to see you too, Miss Foster.”

“I think we’re passed the formalities now, don’t you?” I asked.

“Daphne, then.” My name played so softly on his lips that I shuddered, and embarrassingly so. He smiled. “Then you must call me Charlie.” He kissed the backs of my hands. “I see I already have a positive effect on you.”

“Don’t read too much into it,” I told him. “It’s just a chill.”

“Or maybe a warm sensation,” he whispered, putting his finger on my face and tracing it down to my lips. I swallowed hard and I know my face was yet again bright red.

I looked over at Janice who was having a pleasant conversation with his brother. Then I looked back at him. “Does your wife know you frequent schools to pick up teachers?” I asked.

“You mean substitute teachers,” he answered. I stuck my tongue out at him. “I like when you do that.”

“Stop it,” I whispered harshly. “Look. I’m sure I’m not the type of woman that you’re used to. Especially since I know first hand that you’re married, and I think I already mentioned that I don’t date married men.”

The waitress showed up with four shots of tequila. I looked at him in amazement. “Really?” I asked.

“Come on, Daphne, let go a little,” Janice added, shining like a brand new diamond.

We downed the shots and Charlie got a little too close. “I find you irresistible, Daphne.” He leaned in so that he was almost whispering in my ear. “I don’t know what it is about you, but I must have you.” He took my hand and brought it to his cheek.

“What is it that you do, Mr. Cross?” I asked.

“I thought we were past formalities.”

“Charlie,” I corrected. “Sorry. What do you do for a living?”

“I’m a businessman,” he answered. “Acquisitions are my specialty.”

“And what exactly do you acquire?” I asked. “And please do not say women.”

“I do not buy and sell women,” he answered, his voice getting suddenly harsh. “But when I see something I want, I go after it until it yields to me.”

I pulled my hand away from his face and looked at him. He was most unsettling. “You think I’m just going to fall right into your arms, don’t you, Charlie.”

“Not into my arms, necessarily,” he answered. “but certainly into my bed.”
