His name’s Micah. See
him? On the broomstick? And on the cover, too. He’s walking on top of the author’s name. He’s on the “o” and “n” right now, but don’t
expect him to stay there. Oh, no, he
moves around a lot. Micah, Angel of the
Divine Plan. He watches over spiritual
evolution and reveals the next steps of our plans. Right now he’s on assignment. Just a little added protection for two of the
good guys. The good guys of War-N-Wit, Inc. – The Witch. Meet Ariel Anson
and Chad Garrett, why don’t you? See, it’s like this….
Ariel
Anson thinks she has her life in order.
She’s young, smart, and beautiful, even if she doesn’t believe the
beautiful part. She’s a paralegal with a
great career and a fiancé who’s a CPA.
You just can’t get any steadier than that. Then she meets private investigator, bounty
hunter, process server Chad Garrett.
What does War-N-Wit, Inc.
stand for anyway? Warlock and
Witch? For real? Oh, yes! For real.
And that’s not even scratching the surface! Her life as she knows it is over!
Excerpt:
“So let's cut to the bare essentials. We've been here before,
you and I, many times, we are one,
baby girl, we are each other's eternal soul mates, each other's other half, and
I know it and you know it. And if
nothing else, I intended to establish enough contact so I can find you easier
next time. And if you refuse to believe it and believe in us and I have to wait till next time, then I will. But I will find you again. Because you
can run but you can't hide. I just want as much of you as I can get this time
so it won't take so long next time." He shrugged again. "Last time I
didn't find you till we were both so much older it almost wasn't worth it. That
one was a bitch. And I don't intend for it to happen again.
The world stood still, closed in, retreated, kaleidoscoped
back out into swirls of scenes of places and times I'd never been, never seen.
Hot, bright sun beat down on an arena covered in sand and blood, my heart
ripping apart as I looked at the bodies lying so still amidst the roars of the
approving, raucous crowd. I felt the biting cold, so cold it burned, coming
from the snow stretching out across what I knew, knew with absolute certainty, to be the Russian steppes. I cringed
from the visions of the shadowed chambers filled with monstrous man-made
instruments of pain and the screams rolling out of them. I stood on the
mountains in the mists and heard the faint echo of bagpipes. I saw blue water
and shining white sand and smelled the salt air.
All the black! Scary!
ReplyDeleteAh, no,Miss Cheryl! Deliciously suspenful!
DeleteThis sounds delicious, Gail! Can't help wondering why Chad and Ariel need Micah's protection just now. Is this going to be a series? Hope so.
ReplyDeleteHey, Pat! So glad you dropped in! Yes, ma'am, this is a series! Next -- Resurrection. Did you see it's cover? After that, The Coven. Chad and Ariel get into all sorts of things. They don't even know they've got a little guardian angel cat. But sooner or later, they probably will.
DeleteI love the premise. Well done, Gail!
ReplyDeleteIt wrote itself!
DeleteSounding awfully good there, Gail! And the place looks GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! (I'm not excited or anything. Can you tell?)
DeleteElectric!! Nice Gail.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm so excited over the way this site pulled together!
DeleteSounds like a great story and the cover is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't in love with Chad Garrett already, I would be from the cover! Thank you, Ann!
DeleteJust want to let everyone know, I had the privilege to read this book and I highly recommend it. I mean seriously! War-N-Wit, Inc. is a delightful romance filled with humor and adventure. From the first page on, I was held captive and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. By the way, Gail. I love the site, It really turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThank you, darlin'! Your comments on this novel before I finished it -- they're what made me finish it. I truly didn't know if it would appeal to readers. You convinced me it would. (So see what you started?)
DeleteGail.....Your site is incredible! Great covers, great stuff! You should be very proud!
ReplyDeletePenny, I'm 'bout to pop! And lest y'all think I'm trying to take credit -- this site is what it is because I've made wonderful friends who've been in this industry for years who were willing to share what they knew. The only credit I take is having enough sense to lisent to them!
DeleteLove it!!!It's so different from your other site:)
ReplyDeleteOne suggestion is I think the first cat is hard to see. You might need a lighter background, I like the ones on white. It is pretty scary, though! Well done my friend:)
He's hiding, darlin', he's just shy. Thank you so much for coming! I'm bout to pop today, can y'all tell?
DeleteThis is so much fun!! I'm looking forward to reading your book! Now you have to come on my blog to talk about it too!!
DeleteNope. Black cats are supposed to be hard to see. Hard to get away from, too. He he he...
ReplyDeleteI love the site, Gail, and your books are so going to sell!
PD
My friend. Always there. So appreciated. Thank you.
DeleteGail ... I see Micah is already getting up to mischief. : ) When I was working on your covers, my own cat - a tuxedo male named Equinox - was doing his typical "pet me" thing where he lays in front of my laptop on my desk and bats at my computer screen to try and subtly let me know that my attentions is misplaced. He helped me pick out what pose Micah took for the second and third books by where his paw landed - especially since he had just gotten done playing with his water dish. LOL Of course, then he tried to change your title to a very long stream of nonsense letters when he decided enough was enough and just laid down on my keyboard, but well, he's a spoiled little bit of mischief and given that he is a cat, I was in the wrong for not immediately giving him my undivided attention.
ReplyDeleteIf this shows up twice, sorry. Thought it posted and apparently it didn't. Michelle, please tell Equinox (love the name) thank you for Micah and me. And I can never thank you and Jude enough for this series' covers.
DeleteWill do (and he will love it so long as it involves treats). We call him Nox for short. Which fits for Obnoxious as well as Equinox. LOL His newest trick is that he thinks when the fish get fed that he should get a treat.
DeleteCongrats on the release and the blog. Looks good. When I get a chance I'll follow.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! So glad you stopped in!
DeleteLove the layout, Gail. Very professional looking! I also love your new profile picture. Pretty darn classy lookin', if you ask me ;0)
ReplyDeleteI'll ask you all day if you keep saying things like that! I had GREAT advisors for this blog and I'm thrilled to pieces with the results! In fact, I'm in fragments!
DeleteLove the blog. Artwork is fab. Especially love the fabulous story you penned...full of humor and surprises. Warm just like you. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI love you, too, darlin'! You are truly one of the treasures in my treasure chest!
DeleteWOW! My little girl has grown up! It's always a good thing when the offspring surpasses the mentor.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Sweetie. Your creativity is exciting.
I'll never grow up, Sweetie. What fun would that be, for heaven's sake?! You'll always be my mentor!
DeleteSpatz just popped me one. Seems she's ticked I didn't mention the exquisite member of her kind...so allow me to repent and praise Micah. I also LOVE the premise of your series. You KNOW how much Kat and I LOVE cats, but you also know how much I adore non-traditional stories. Your hints about reincarnation, magic, and suspense have my inner psychic tingling merrily.
ReplyDeleteLove You, Love your new picture, love your new blog, and LOVE the way your mind works.
Tell Spatz Micah says hello! He's kind of one those serendipity things that just sorta happened! And no, I don't thing anybody's gonna call this series "traditional"! Hope not, anyway!
DeleteLove the black cats. They look like Ellie, my little sweetie. Of course, that was five pounds ago (hers not mine). Now she's a little 'fuller' of figure. However, you can't go wrong when you include a cat in your blog or book.
ReplyDeleteHey Darlin'! Micah's one of those serenditipity things, he just sorta -- happened. And no, no way can you go wrong with dogs or cats!
DeleteGreat looking blog. The cover is really cool. Good luck with your release.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! 'Preciate you stopping in!
DeleteWell I too love black...and witches, warlocks etc.:) Loved your excerpt! Really pulled me in!
ReplyDeleteNice job Gail, looking forward to reading your story.
Cheers, Sara
Sara! Thank you so much for stopping in! As I keep repeating, I am so stoked about the looks of this blog! And take no credit for it other than listening to friends who've been doing a lot longer than me!
DeleteA cool page--lots of fun here! Good luck with your new release...
ReplyDelete:)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteWhen are Resurrection and The Coven coming to the Kindle? I've been dying to read them!! I just fell in love with the first book and i want to read more!!!
ReplyDeleteMy cup runneth over!!!!!! Thank you so much for that comment!! And for coming over to my blog to look!! I'm hoping Resurrection will be out by mid May, and The Coven in July!
