Grab a chair...

Congrats to Sandra Stixrude on her release Marya.

I'll interview Sandra at a later date. For now, read the blurb and watch her trailer.

Is this a beautiful cover or what?

Know he will succeed when all others fail you…so reads the fateful letter of introduction which heralds the beginning of Marya's desperate journey.

When the Ktar chooses Marya to watch over the heir on his confirmation journey, she has no illusions about a pleasant trip. A prophecy concerning the heir's death, ominous dreams of a mysterious city, and the certainty one of the heir's companions will betray him all weigh heavily on her.

Unfortunately, the discovery of the assassin in their midst is only the beginning. His menace pales in comparison to the ancient evil lurking in the mountain city. When Marya and her party are trapped and the men with her enslaved, she is forced into a battle of wills and hearts with two remaining choices: give in to the alien being who offers her power and prestige, or join forces with the same handsome assassin she sought to thwart. Lives are at stake and so are her heart and her honor - how can she choose?

I have hit my head against the proverbially brick wall many times in my writing. And I'm not talking about writers block. No, I'm talking about the grammar wall. I want all of you to meet and welcome a friend of mine who writes a blog dedicated to the writing process. From the submission process to grammar woes, Sandra really knows her stuff. And thank you Lord, she is willing to share that expertise with us. Take a moment and stop over and say hi. I believe, and Sandra correct me if I'm wrong, that she is a teacher of English Literature and boy does it show. She writes her erotic and edgy work under the name of Angel Martinez, and her mainstream romance under Sandra Stixrude.

So visit her Writers Habitat and enjoy.
