Making use of her newfound powers, she works with Spokane Police to uncover evidence in ‘cold cases’ and memoryprint clues for current ones.

Vampires sparkled through the spotlight. Then, the zombies shambled through. Now, it's time for a new supernatural. DREAM WEAVER. A beautiful, atmospheric story that is dark sci fi meets teen fantasy. A YA paranormal love story receiving 5 star reviews from readers of all ages, and FINALIST in the Readers Favorite International Book Awards.

Emari Sweet understands waking up in a cold sweat, heart pounding and screaming in fear. Night terrors plague her after the death of her parents, and she strives for control over the darkness that threatens to swallow her. But a monster lurks in the shadows, and his subtle hints of brutality explode in a violent attack that plunges her back into the depths of fear.

Nickolas Benedetti is a Dream Weaver…an ancient, arcane and almost immortal race descended from the offspring of angels & humans, the Nephilim. Nick has the power to command memories and dreams, and each night, Emari's screams tear another piece of his heart. Nick plunges heart-first into Em's tormented dreams to save her. But something dark and nefarious has followed him to her little cottage in the woods. His magic can save her from the night terrors, but does he have the power to protect her from the real, living, breathing nightmares that threaten to dismantle her sanity?

Dream Weaver is a young adult paranormal fiction novel set in the Pacific Northwest.

The love story continues with Emari Sweet, and Dream Weaver Nickolas Benedetti. Music, magic, monsters and memories: Rock Star, a new supernatural, immortal novel.

Ever dreamed of being a rock & roll star? Emari Sweet has...and now she's living the dream...the life of a rocker babe in an elaborate memory weave constructed by Dream Weaver, Sabre James. But her rock star world crashes around her and she returns to reality and the memories of Nick and his betrayal. Thomas, the Nightmare Wraith, returns to haunt their minds and twist their dreams. Even Eddyson, Em's trusty teddy-beagle pup can sense the Wraith's presence. And Thomas is not alone. He’s brought a friend with him this time.... an old friend of Sabre's, who seeks retribution for the death of his beloved sister at Sabre's hands. Emari faces her own mortality at the hands of this vengeful Wraith.

A new magic enters Emari's life and she begins to discover treasures beyond her wildest dreams in the form of a titanium and ruby spider with all the powers of Dream Weavers and more. Immortality and magic unearth treasures and secrets that some would rather keep buried. And the biggest secret of all could destroy everything.


Author Information: 

I confess...I'm a bit of a dork, with a quirky and sometimes dark personality, though not as dark as some. I love the outdoors and nature, and photographing normal, everyday things from different and abnormal angles. One of my photos has been published in the political humor book Red Dog/Blue Dog by Chuck Sambuchino.

Legally, my name is Susan Barton, but I write under the pen name Su Williams (my maiden name). I am a 48 year old mother of 4, Sarah, Josiah, Jack and Aundraic. I'm married to Ben and we have 2 cats, a garder snake, a crested gecko named Reid (like in Criminal Minds) and a beagle, Dyson (yes like the vacuum) who is my favorite teddy puppy.

I was born in Little Rock, AK. My daddy was military and my parents finally decided that Spokane, WA was the place for us and this is where I've lived since I was about 10.

I always wrote special poems for family birthdays, and began to write short stories in Jr. High. Many years later after a self-esteem building program of hypnosis, and reading Twilight, I was inspired. I said, "I could do that." So I did.

Dream Weaver has been 4 years in the making, as I've learned the ins and outs of the literary process. That is an ongoing endeavor.

Review: 

Fascinating new mythology about Nephilim and a type of Sandman.  I love how the writer weaves the mythology into a story about loss and love and choosing to survive.

I give this story 4.5 out of 5 clouds.

DESCRIPTION

Courage blooms in the meekest of hearts.

Chronicles of Eorthe, Book 2

After spending twenty years trapped in her civil body, Kele can finally shift into feral form. By tooth and claw, she’s determined to climb the Payami pack hierarchy.

Her parents plan to mate her with a hunter from a rival pack, but her heart’s already been stolen by the most unsuitable wolf possible—Peder, an omega male. She’d gladly give him her body except he’s disappeared from her life. Maybe into the thieving arms of another female.

Peder has spent every moment of their forced separation training to be a hunter. When he hears of her arranged marriage, he fears he’s waited too long to trespass back onto Payami lands to fight for her hand—but he damned well isn’t giving up.

On his journey to confront Kele, Peder is attacked and wakes in a cage, helpless as a band of vampires attack Kele’s mating party. Separated by social standing, thrown together by tragedy, they must work together to survive. And find out if their attraction is merely puppy love, or a bond that’s stronger than time.


Warning: This book contains an omega male who’s done submitting and a hunter female who isn’t used to needing anyone to come to her rescue. Violence ensues, not for the faint of heart.



Author Information: 

Annie Nicholas writes paranormal romance with a twist. She has courted vampires, hunted with shifters, and slain a dragon’s ego all with the might of her pen. Riding the wind of her imagination, she travels beyond the restraints of reality and shares them with anyone wanting to read her stories.

Mother, daughter, and wife are some of the other hats she wears while hiking through the hills and dales of her adopted state of Vermont. Annie writes for Samhain Publishing, Carina Press, and Lyrical Press.

Review: 

Interesting view of the world if vampires and shifters were all that was left and humans did not exist.  Taste of the first story of a human dropped into this world who becomes “infected” and turns into a shifter.  But this book is mostly a love story and a coming of age.

Alpha wolf turned into an omega due to abuse he suffers, but the love of a late-blooming alpha princess and being trapped by slavers pulls the latent alpha to the surface.  Well written and charming, this story can be read as a stand-alone, but is even more fascinating as a sequel.

I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
