Awakening, Shadow-walkers Book 1 by Kelley Heckart

Sometimes, the end is really the beginning.

After destroying her successful music career, the close friendship with her bandmates, and her marriage, author Kaitlyn Storm, aka Kate Wolf, former bassist for the all-female rock band Hecate’s Fury, is given a second chance. She receives an offer to turn her book series into three movies, but her troubled rock-star past continues to haunt her.

She never expected to find love or a way back.

When she is trapped in a haunted cabin during a snowstorm with Kane Devlin, the hot Scottish movie star playing her hero, their rising passion for one another ignites. What they awakened will change their lives, but before she can move on, Kate must let go of the guilt and shame keeping her from claiming her shared destiny. For she may not know it yet, but she and her bandmates are chosen.
*
Series blurb:
The five young women of Hecate’s Fury are more than rock stars.
They are Shadow-walkers, chosen to help the supernatural world.
There’s just one problem—no one trained them.

About the author:

Multi-published author Kelley Heckart lives in Arizona with her musician husband, dog, and a number of backyard “pets.” Her stories reflect her passion for ancient and medieval time periods, storytelling and the supernatural. Inspired by the ancient Celts, her tales are filled with fierce warriors and alpha heroes, bold women, otherworldly creatures, magic, and romance. When not writing, she works as a freelance editor, practices target archery, and writes and records music with her husband. She can be found online at http://www.kelleyheckart.com/

What inspired you to write your book?

I have always been a writer in some form, starting out with poetry and songs, then graduating to short stories and novels. My new Shadow-walkers series is inspired by my time as a rock and roll musician and playing in various bands, including two all-female bands. I added paranormal elements, so this series is Rock Star meets Supernatural. The twist is that the girls are the rock stars, and they command the supernatural males they love. There is also real music, written my myself and my musician husband, that goes along with this series. We used the fictional band name, Hecate's Fury, and can be found on ReverbNation.

Here is a short sample from the book:

Normally, I didn’t eat much in the morning, but the blueberry muffins tempted me. I even found some hot cocoa. Once I’d prepared my breakfast, I sat at the oak table near the kitchen window, chose the seat facing the view, and became entranced by the beautiful forest scene outside. The rising sun cast golden hues across dew-kissed pines that sparkled among the amber oak leaves. The serene atmosphere embraced me, and I closed my eyes, savoring my hot cocoa.
“Bloody hell. Why is the coffee maker empty?”
I flung my eyes open and jumped at the deep male voice, dribbling hot cocoa down my chin. After twisting in my seat, I widened my gaze.
Kane Devlin stood in the kitchen. His tousled brown hair framed his handsome face and curled in perfect, delectable collar-grazing waves. His designer clothes were unwrinkled and also perfect. He looked like he’d showered and dressed for a photo shoot and not just woke up or crawled in after a night of little sleep.
And he was glaring at me. “Did you hear me?”
His slight Scottish burr had taken me aback. Usually he affected an American accent in his movies.
I slowly nodded, very aware I must look like a mess and swiped a napkin over my hot cocoa-streaked chin. “I, uh, what about the coffee maker?”
“I expect coffee in the morning. Britany knows this. My P.A. should know this. That’s you, right?”
“P.A.?”
He leaned on the granite island, his thick muscles straining beneath his long-sleeved shirt. “Are you daft, lass? You are the P.A. Britany sent to fill in for David, right?”
“No.”
“No, you’re not daft or not the P.A.?” One side of his gorgeous mouth twisted into an amused grin.
I hardened my gaze. Okay, hot or not, he was being an ass. “No to both.”
He tilted his head. “Who are you then?”
“Kaitlyn Storm.”
“The author?” He lifted his brows, curiosity lighting his blue-green eyes.
“Yes.” I suddenly wished I had showered and dressed before coming down to the kitchen. Or at least combed my hair.
His keen, assessing gaze roamed my face and body. “Hmm. You look different from your picture.”
Heat crept up my cheeks, and I wanted to crawl under the table. Yeah, I just rolled out of bed.
“Old photo,” I mumbled.
He slanted his head, brow furrowed. “You are much too pretty to be a writer, and that picture doesn’t do you justice.”
My cheeks grew even hotter.
He pointed to the coffee maker. “So, why is it empty?”
I frowned. “Because I don’t drink coffee.”
Studying the coffee maker, he scratched his stubbly chin. “Well, maybe you know how this thing works.”
“It can’t be that difficult.” I pushed my chair back, stood, brushed past him, retrieved a measuring cup and then filled the coffee maker reservoir with water. Ignoring his presence as best I could, I found the coffee and filters in one of the pantries.
From behind me, he said, “You should be a P.A.” His words were tinged with mirth.
“And you should try not to be such an ass.” I turned and pursed my lips.
Amused laughter rumbled from him. “I like you, Katie.”
I bristled. No one ever called me that. In fact I hated that nickname, but it did sound pleasing the way Kane said it with his slight Scottish accent.

    Pub landlords are being murdered in Norfolk!

    Thelonious T. Bear, ursine photojournalist, leaves behind the big city life of London to take an assignment in the Norfolk countryside, where he hopes to find the real England. Instead he stumbles upon gastro-pubs, crazed Audi drivers and murder. As the hapless Thelonious keeps ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time, he attracts the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Horatio Sidebottom of Norfolk Constabulary CID, who’s determined to tie Thelonious to the crimes. Add in a pair of hoods from London’s East End, celebrity TV chef Paolo Louis Black, and plenty of oddball local characters and it all adds up to a madcap journey through England’s most quirky county, where everything is normal (for Norfolk)!

    Invasion of Privacy and Other Short Stories by Jim Liston

    0 out of 5

    Invasion of Privacy

    If you’re the person who murdered my wife and think you’ve gotten away with it, think again. I’m looking for you, and I’ll eventually find you.

    Is it wrong for me to try and find the person who ruined my life, even at the expense of stealing a few moments of someone’s privacy? If I invade a person’s privacy without them knowing it, what’s the harm? I guess it all comes down to the question of whether I’m willing to risk the consequence of going to jail if I’m caught. I am. What do I have to lose?

    The other stories included are:

    The Tourist Attraction

    I’m sick of it. Every day there’s a group of them tourists, standing by my fence watching us, pointing and whispering. I don’t know what started it, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna put up with it much longer.

    A Novel Murder

    “I’m going to kill her today,” he said, “I’ve had her tied up in the basement for three days; it’s time to end it.”

    The Doctor’s Pet Fly

    A fly only lives for about a month. It seems like a waste of time to train a fly and then have it die after only a month. Maybe he’s found a way to keep them alive longer. He is a doctor, after all.

    The Show

    Rita looked around at the crowd of smiling, excited faces, concentrating on every detail to commit it to memory; she didn’t want to forget any of it. She shouldn’t have worried; she would remember this for the rest of her life.

    Carl and Tabitha

    Carl hated his boss and was determined to find a way to get even with him.

    Tag, You’re It!

    We looked across the valley at a breathtaking scene of red lakes and forests of blue and orange that were alive with activity.

    Before They Come Back

    Running his claw-like hand along my spine while making an odd whistling noise that I surmised to be their way of communicating, I began to realize they were preparing to cut me open.

    Justin’s Love

    When Justin first saw Lucille, it was love at first sight. He knew that she was perfect for him. All of his friends and co-workers were envious; she was beautiful.

    Ronnie and the Smoke Bomb.

    I didn’t tell Ronnie the police had found him sitting on the curb near the car, crying. They said he was sitting there mumbling, “It’s only a smoke bomb.”

    My Gift To You by Faye Hall

    0 out of 5

    Rush Mullens saw her parents, Joseph and Carmen, being murdered before her eyes as an 8 year old child– ten cloaked figures destroying her once peaceful life. She did not know the men responsible, but she would find them. She wanted revenge…she needed it.

    When Lord Justin Maston came to take her in to his care, she vowed she would use this opportunity to find the murderer’s she chased. She did not think she would also find a boy she could love more than her own life.

    Bailey Maston had never supposed to mean any more to her than a friend, one who could protect her from the new lifestyle she had been forced into. What he had become though was a young man who could take her breath away, and steal her heart.

    Rush knew Bailey knew nothing of her family, or the life she was raised to live. She doubted should he learn the truth that he would understand. She could not let him endanger the revenge she so craved to seek. Nor could she ignore that she was willing to risk all – her past, her life, her reputation – just to sample an ounce of passion from this man.

    Bailey Maston wanted to find a woman – the perfect woman – to give his heart to. He wanted to trust that such a person could exist that would never betray him. Everything he had seen in his young life, both at home and in society, told him what a foolish dream this was. Such a woman could never exist. Even if she did, he doubted she would ever willingly give her heart to a love-starved boy like him.

    Foolish though his dream was, Bailey could not help being drawn to the young orphaned girl his parents had taken in.

    He wanted her friendship and the attention she so willingly offered to him.

    He craved to feel the passion he knew was hidden deep inside her.

    What he did not want was to fall in love with her.

    When Bailey finally discovers the truth of Rush’s life, and the revenge she was enacting, he feels betrayed. Foolish though it was, he hopes that beyond this betrayal may yet lay the woman he has always yearned to find…a woman he craved to give his well-guarded heart to.
