It’s not easy creating life, but that’s what Deus was meant to do. And
as amazing as his new creations may be, Deus finds that there’s nothing
wonderful about being the only person in existence. Using his power, he molds a
companion to keep him company; only, something goes awry and Starr soon proves
to be as wild as the animals he’s crafted.
What do you do when the only other person in the universe hates you? You
fall in love, of course…because that’s how forever begins.
EXCERPT
A few weeks ago, before coming to
Terra, I noticed that Starr began to look older, more mature…and fuller. I believe I’m different, also. I’m not the
person I was at the beginning, and no longer am I a boy. My body has grown, and
Starr’s body has definitely grown in some places. I know I stare at her too
much, but now, it’s not because I’m wondering what she’s thinking; it’s because
I’m awfully aware of what she looks like.
The
things we’ve learned by visiting the future together have made us both mature. The
more we see, the more we age. When we visit future Earth I show Starr both
wonderful things and not so wonderful things, like wars and famine. But unlike
before, when she didn’t take notice of anything, now she cries when she sees
the unpleasant times the future holds, and I feel horrible for showing her. But
the Voice of Reason says it’s the only way to educate us, and I let it be.
For
a while I was worried, but contrary to my initial belief, Starr is very bright.
She’s learned to use her hands to craft things and to sew extremely well. She
makes her own dresses now, and I provide her with the fabric, needles and
thread. For days she’s been trying her hand at spinning wool with a small contraption
called a spindle that we saw on one of our visits to the future. She asked me to
create it for her here, but instead of making the object appear out of thin
air, I made it for her using wood from one of the fallen forest trees. Maybe
someday she’ll make a garment for me using the strings she spins, but I’d be
happier and a lot relieved if first, she’d make herself a bra.

REVIEW: The Immortal Game by Joannah Miley & Giveaway
BLURB
 |
| RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
When struggling pre-med student Ruby West beats the unconquerable Ash at chess he becomes fixated on her. Which is great if you like smoldering blue eyes, sculpted features, and afternoons of unexpected adventure. But not so great when she discovers he is a Greek god and his father, Zeus, has forbidden the gods from interacting with humans.
Ruby soon realizes her love for Ash threatens the fragile stability that has kept the gods from meddling in the mortal world.
Before long the two find themselves on a quest to rescue a goddess, save the Earth from unending winter, and secure the right to be together forever.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Joannah lives in northwest Washington State with her husband, two awesome teenagers, and a black dog that sheds relentlessly on her white furniture. When she's not writing she's usually driving a bunch of kids around town and drinking too much Coke Zero.
➤NOTE: The Immortal Game is a finalist in the 2013 Dante Rossetti award for Young Adult Fiction alongside yours truly, as well as other great books you must add to your TBR list. I encourage you to check out the finalists on Chanticleer Book Reviews & Media.
Good luck, Joannah!
REVIEW
The Immortal Game is a story of modern mythology at its most creative and finest. Joannah Miley takes us on an adventure with Ruby, an independent and lonely girl who seeks to make her father—although deceased—proud. When Ruby walks into a coffeehouse, to forget the war that's raging around her and to study, she's asked to play a game of chess by the mysterious Ash; she declines. But Ash is so adamant (and let's not leave out gorgeous) that she takes him up on the challenge. After a tactical game, Ruby wins and leaves Ash awestruck. Ash becomes obsessed with Ruby's game and wants to understand how she could have possibly beat him in the area that his existence revolves around: No, not chess, but strategy and war. Oh yes, my friends, Ash is no ordinary human; he's Ares, the god of war.
Ruby soon discovers that Ash aka Ares is adventurous, a gentleman, and oh-so-swoon-wothy! It isn't long before the two realize that the electricity they've been feeling between them is sparking up a lot of romantic tension. For Ruby it's like a breath of fresh exhilarating air. Ash/Ares is just as lovestruck. But there's just one problem: Zeus, the god of gods, won't approve their relationship.
So what's a guy and girl to do when Zeus makes them a proposition? Easy. Embark on an adventure that'll secure their love.
If you're looking for a new kind of twist on Greek Mythology, you'll find it in Joannah Miley's book, The Immortal Game.

If music nourishes the soul…
Loved by millions, but shunned by blood, Heath “Fang” Fangor has led his band, Hot Wired, to the top while others have fallen by the wayside. He devoted his life to music, and from that devotion harvested a new family—his band mates and fans.
A man can desire nothing else…or can he?
Living in the shadow of her brother’s fame sucks! Sam Collins is desperate to have what she wants—a simple and uncomplicated life. She’s no stranger to scandals and how they work. Now that she’s inadvertently dragged Fang into the center of her latest gossip, could the scandal she created in her quest for freedom have gone too far?
Amid stardom the heart stages a new melody…
Fang has more fame and fortune than he will ever need, but none of that matters if he can’t have the woman of his dreams. Years have been wasted waiting for the right moment to approach the woman his heart desires above all others. There’s just one major problem...she’s his best friend’s sister. To have her, he will have to risk it all.

REVIEW:
Gracen Miller's Rockin' the Heart goes a beat above the rest. This New Adult Contemporary Romance had me hooked at first glance with the main character's monologue in the opening scene. As a seasoned writer, Miller delivers a unique story with the right amount of steamy romance, incredible character development, and a third-degree burning anticipation for that first kiss.
Sam, the saucy main character, is in love with the one man that's off limits—her brother's best friend, Heath "Fang" Fangor. Heath is the sex icon rock star that every girl dreams of, but no girl's been able to claim. When Sam playfully pushes Heath's buttons, little does she know that he'll push hers right back and harder. Is he genuinely interested in her, or is he playing the rockstar game he plays with every girl? Filled with self-doubt and confused, Sam puts up a fight, but Heath won't back down. And as if Sam's life wasn't already complicated enough, she also has to deal with her brother, Jase, who happens the be the band's drummer and the only family she has left. Looks like Sam might be the cause of Hot Wired's band breakup if she doesn't play the right notes.
Readers, be ready to have your world rocked!

Audiobook is a GO!
Hello, hello!
It's been a busy month for me, and today, I'm going to update you on yet another great thing to come!
I'm happy to announce that a very talented voice actress/actress by the name of Helen Cricco has agreed to produce the audiobook for Creatura.
When I received the message from Helen, saying she'd accepted my offer, I had a moment where I looked like this...
But then, I was like...
Furthermore, the project is currently in production and due for release around mid-April, which really isn't that far away.
So we wait...
And hey, look at this for no other reason than its disturbing Hannibal Lector-like quality.
*Warning: Do not try this at home, not even if you're that hungry.*
Thanks for stopping by. Here's Justin Timberlake signing off for me.
