Challenges

Recently, I was tagged by an author friend on Facebook with a couple of "challenges." I thought I'd post them here as well.
5 things about the main character in my work in progress (FUSION):

1. Raven Criswell is the only daughter of Jett and Delia, and sister to Griffin and Rider.
2. She takes after her mother with very dark hair and violet eyes, but the resemblance is only physical. Where Delia is poised and confident, Raven is clumsy and insecure, even though she'd say otherwise.
3. She's been in love. It ended badly.
4. She often teeters on the brink of madness, but there's a very good reason that she has yet to learn.
5. She's much stronger than she thinks she is, and she will be tested to her limits.

And go to page 7 or 77, 7 lines down, and paste 7 lines from my work in progress (FUSION)...

Blazing down the stairs to the second level, Kaine dashed through another empty hallway that led to his favorite respite. Walled in by three sides of the massive Carrick mansion was a small courtyard with a balcony that overlooked the stone gardens surrounding the house. Most afternoons, sunlight from Aevum would spill across the cobblestone terrace, warming the cold brick. No such luck today with the looming fog that had settled on the landscape. Kaine couldn’t shake the shivers that now took over his body.
The horrific words rang in Kaine’s ears as he gripped the wrought-iron railing of the balcony. *Exterminate the Logia.* His father had actually said it. Aloud.

Does this whet your appetite? Heralds of the Crown: Fusion will be available in November 2014. In the meantime, you can read the first book in the series, Poison! It's available in both ebook format and print!
