The Watcher

Millennia ago, he fell from heaven for her.

Can he face her without falling again?

Fascinated with ancient civilizations, seventeen-year-old Mia Crawford dreams of becoming an archaeologist. She also dreams of wings—soft and silent like snow—and somebody trying to steal them.
When a horrible creature appears out of thin air and attacks her, she knows Michael Fontaine is involved, though he claims to know nothing about it. Secretive and aloof, Michael evokes feelings in Mia that she doesn’t understand. Images of another time and place haunt her. She recognizes them—but not from any textbook.

In search of the truth, Mia discovers a past life of forbidden love, jealousy and revenge that tore an angel from Heaven and sent her to an early grave. Now that her soul has returned, does she have a chance at loving that angel again? Or will an age-old nemesis destroy them both?
Ancient history is only the beginning.

From November 28th to December 1st The Watcher is on sale for just $1.99!

Excerpt

Instead of saying more, he brushed his fingertips along my cheek, and his halo glimmered. I could hear the waves slapping the rocks behind us, the wind driving them in. That same wind whipped against my skin, but the touch of his hand on my face was all I could think about. It sent a current through both of us and filled me with longing for something I wasn’t sure I understood.

“I’m sorry.” He stepped back and shoved his hands into his pockets as the light around him faded. “You don’t know what it’s like. Being near you now, remembering those moments we had…” His hair blew into his eyes, but this time he didn’t move. I wanted to brush it back, but I didn’t know how he’d react. Would touching him be bad?

“You want to know who you were?” he asked. “You may look different, but you’re the same. I look into your eyes and see you.” He took in a deep breath, fixing his attention on the horizon. I’d seen and heard so much now that the logical part of my brain had long since given up arguing with me. I could feel what he was saying was true. All of it.

Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner I find myself in the kitchen more than usual and I found some great recipes online. I hate having to print them out so what I found is the Belkin Chef Stand & Stylus that I love! I can set it on the counter and place my tablet in it while I cook.  By using the stylus I don’t have to worry about touching my tablet with messy hands. The Belkin Chef Stand  has a non-slip rubber base and two different angles that I can use on the counter.

I have also used it with my Kindle when someone else was using the tablet and the Belkin Chef Stand works great.

There are so many great cooking apps that I like to use like AllRecipes and How to Cook Everything and tons more – I now have thousands of recipes right at my hand and now a great way to use my tablet with out getting it full of what ever I am cooking and not cluttering up the kitchen.

If you are looking for a great gift for the foodie in your life the Belkin Chef Stand & Stylus is a great gift and it is under $40!  I am sure it would be a gift that would be loved and used often. You can order the Belkin Chef Stand & Stylus HERE.

Most afternoons around 3pm or so I like to have a snack that will hold me over till dinner. Recently I tried these great tasting nuts from Doug’s Nuts.  They are great and there are incredibly flavorful almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, peanuts, pumpkin seeds and walnuts mixed in the bag. They are lightly coated in a salty-sweet glaze of organic sugarcane, blackberry honey, vanilla, maple, sea salt, and oatmeal stout – a flavor combination that we think will have you coming back for more – and then roasted to perfection.

The bad thing is the bag holds 4 ounce which is 4 servings and I eat the whole thing at once or maybe two sittings.  They are so good you can’t stop.  I love the mixture of nuts.  Not many mixed nuts have pumpkin seeds and hazelnuts in the mix. Nuts are a great snack and good for you too ~ well as long as you don’t eat too many.  What a great way to get a burst of energy.

Doug’s Nuts would make a perfect stocking stuffer or secret Santa gift. If you want to purchase some crazy good nuts you can order Doug’s Nuts HERE and some local stores. You can also stay connected with them on Facebook.

Doug’s Nuts has offered one of my readers a chance to win a 2-pack of the Original Blend.  You must be 18+ and have a US shipping address.  Leave a comment on your favorite afternoon snack.  Extra entry for following Doug’s Nuts on Facebook.

I really need to lose some weight.  Every day I say I am going to start Monday! Then Monday rolls around and I don’t start.  Well a couple weeks ago I decided to work on my bad eating habits and lose some weight ~ I know the holidays and all are bad timing but I figured there was no better time than the present.  I decided to use Pharmacist Weight Loss Formula – #1 Advanced Thermogenic Diet Pill – Stimulant Free Fat Burner & Appetite Suppressant – 100% All Natural Supplement.

I have been using these about 10 days and I have been amazed by how I feel.  They have helped me not think about food all day long. I feel full and have a bit more energy.  I can’t wait to see what happens after taking them for a bit longer.  I love that they are 100% All Natural Supplement. I haven’t had that jitter feeling you sometimes get from other diet pills.  The supplements are also safe for people with high blood pressure and diabetes. I have high blood pressure so I am careful on what products I take.  These supplements have been clinically tested and found to:

• Increase energy levels
• Boost metabolism in a safe way
• Promote suppression and control of appetite
• Maximize diet and exercise results
• Provide thermogenics effects for increased fat burning
• Detoxify the body and create a feeling of general wellness
• Be safe for people with high blood pressure and diabetes
• Regulate insulin / sugar levels
• Reduce the amount of fat in your system
• Rid the body of excess fluids
• Block carbohydrates from being introduced to your system

Publisher: Cozy Cat Press (June 30, 2013)

Synopsis:
Richard Forester, a retired CEO for a major software company, and his granddaughter Penny show up at the Pookotz Bed & Breakfast one evening and find themselves in some rather unpleasant company. All the guests somehow seem to be connected to Richard’s past and when he is found dead the next morning, everyone is suspect. However, there are a few wrinkles that the inn’s owners Edna and Mildred Pookotz need to iron out as the investigation unfolds. Not only was Richard deathly ill, but he was also accused of embezzling $750,000 which is still unaccounted for. The local Sheriff suspects that this victim’s death is not a natural one, so he–and the sisters–set forth to discover who the murderer is.

My Review:

I loved Deathbed & Breakfast.  Penny was traveling to Portland, OR with her Grandpa because he needed to see a specialist.  During the trip they stayed at a Bed & Breakfast were the other guest knew of Richard Forester past as CEO for a company that had gone under because someone embellished a lot of money.  Each person wanted the money and had plans to find out were the money was hidden and then to murder Penny’s Grandpa.  Many people visited their room through out the night and each may have been the person who killed Richard Forester – How actually killed him? You will need to read Deathbed & Breakfast to find out. I am sure you will love it!

I received a Copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the review, and the review is honest and my responsibility.
