In the year 2115 on the remote off-Earth colony Terra VI, Janis Kepple learns she is terminally ill. She begs her childhood sweetheart, Xander Pax, to hide her only child from her husband –Violet’s step-father. Janis can’t deny his once fatherly attitude has changed to something dark and lustful. Knowing she has little time left, she hopes the brothel, Xander’s Garden, is the last place anyone would look for her innocent daughter. With memories of his love for Janis lingering, Xander agrees, although he wants nothing more than to sell the sex shoppe and return to his beloved Terra III.

Shy Betta wants only to attend University on the Terra IV colony. When Xander offers her sanctuary, she becomes known as Violet and finds herself among strangers in a world that revolves around the business of sex. She’s surprised by the care and support she’s shown and begins blossoming into a confident young woman. Befriended—and seduced—by Daisy, a free spirit running from her public identity, and Chrys, a handsome young sex provider, her horizons are soon broadened…within limits.

Xander and Violet can both realize their long-held dreams if she offers herself up in the Virgin Auction, but tempting new choices have appeared. Surrounded by love in Xander’s Garden, who would ever want to leave?

I don't often express myself unless it's in a book, but today, I feel the need. 

Lately, I've noticed many instances of harassment on my one social media site. Being rather naive, I didn't understand the need to report someone for an infraction unless it was of an abusive nature.  After all, the millions that utilize these sites do so with the intent of connecting with friends and/or making new ones. 

Today, another friend was blocked by an 'unknown person' for simply commenting/ voting on a webpage. They followed the posted rules, so there shouldn't have been a problem.  I'm shaking my head, having seen this so many times recently.

Whatever happened to 'live and let live'? For the most part, social media is a blessing, a way to reach people with your particular message. Every now and then, however, someone slips through, reminding us that mean-spirited people are lurking, waiting for an opportunity to cause problems. I like that word, lurking. Maybe I'll call them the LURKERS.

I think if you are reported, you should be able to confront the one who did so, and if they have a legitimate complaint, it can be discussed and solved. Otherwise, as the British so beautifully say, 'bugger off '.

Peace,
Barb

Hello...I apologize for my absence. It's been hectic since before Christmas. I will resume publication on Monday, January 18.

The release of Blood Ties by Julie Nicholls is official. 

Hey peeps!

Today is the official release day for Blood Ties! In case you need another sneaky peek to whet your appetite, here's a little more from the book.

This is a paranormal, shifter, werewolf, romance, and it's currently available on Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk

I've spent some time making the paperback quite special, and if you're a collector of 'real' books, I hope you'll consider adding Blood Ties to your collection.

The first letter of each chapter has a wolf motif, which I've created in photoshop and adobe illustrator.

I hope you like the design and for the readers who like to hold a book, this is a perfect gift.

The morning looked promising. Keagen was on the road, traveling to a small town he’d never heard of. Filled with elation, thoughts of catching his prey made him smile. There was no need to rush. Despite his need to snag the escapee, he took a leisurely drive. Intel he received advised of a stranger who'd set up house in Dewburn Falls, and was deemed a ‘badass.’

Keagen smirked. There’s a new player coming to town. Move over badass.


Relaxing into the soft leather seat of the BMW 328i, one of Keagen’s favorite rides, he took in the scenery and thought about his plan of action. Meticulously organized, he always had a fallback plan. He wasn’t at home being Mr. Cock-up, and hated if someone fucked up, which wasn’t too often as he mostly worked alone. Forced to team up on one occasion, it didn’t go well, resulting in a few deaths. Kicking off, Keagen said it was either his way, or he was retiring, which was funny considering they owned him; despite his reluctance to admit it. While he was comfortable, he’d put up with their shit and continued along his merry way. Doing their dirty work. With access to fast cars, the best weaponry, some not even on the market officially, and recreation time to fuck, life was good. He wanted it to continue.

His mind took him back to when it wasn’t so pleasurable, and his hands tightened around the steering wheel as he growled. While he didn’t have many memories remaining, he knew it wasn’t good. Faded scars on his body were the only reminders of his childhood, since Solgen wiped his memory. It was the standard protocol to start with a clean mind, and easier. Still perfecting the procedure, the scientists had made a few errors, but Keagen was their most successful guinea pig. Receiving top marks in all the tests, he confirmed loyalty to the company and, therefore, was allowed to leave the compound. At first, he was under supervision, but that had soon changed. After excelling in each mission within a few months, his reputation soared. Managing a hundred percent retrieval rate, with a required eighty percent coming in alive, he was the top dog. The twenty percent died because they resisted capture and return back to the labs. Keagen was strong. At the start of his hunting career, he didn’t know his own strength. Rarely bringing home a dead one these days, he’d learned to master his body and the enhancements.
