The release of Blood Ties by Julie Nicholls is official.
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.
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 paperback is available from Createspace :
Or you can purchase via Amazon:
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.

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.

WELCOME TO TREMENDO TUESDAY
I'd like to introduce a fellow author, Paul White. Paul is also a novelist, short story writer, poet, and blogger.
Introducing his Tales of Crime and Violence, the three book collector editions.
This remarkable three volume collection
encompasses numerous and varied stories of acts and deeds of crime and
violence. Paul White has once again woven his masterly spell of intrigue into
each stories plot. Secrecy, scheming, plotting and conspiracy live hand-in-hand
with outrageous and shocking violence, viciousness and brutality.
All three volumes of Tales of Crime &
Violence are packed with carnage and bloodshed and mayhem, while an ominous
sense of sinister, physiological apprehension lingers in the dark shadows.
Tales of Crime & Violence contains
graphic acts of violence, profanities and sexual reference. It is not
recommended for reading for those under adult age.
Tales of Crime & Violence is available
in a paperback collection of three volumes, or on Kindle as a complete ‘box-set’.
EXCERPT
……….The Sheriff stopped, as did the two
deputies in the following cruisers. Together we walked to the car. I handed one
of the deputies the keys. You could feel the heat reflecting from the steel of
the bodywork.
It was one hell of a hot day.
When the deputy opened the
driver’s door a blast of superheated air escaped. It was so extreme it forced
us to take a step backwards and twist our heads away from its intensity. But it
was the smell which was most overpowering. I saw, but did not comprehend the
glance between the law men. However, I knew that my day was going to get worse
when they handcuffed me.
My day certainly became a living
nightmare when they opened the trunk. Bobby lay inside. His throat had been
sliced from ear to ear and his eyes gouged out. The heat had caused his body to
swell and the blood to cook.
I only recognised him by his
jeans and boots.
After that it was all a bit of a
blur. I was bundled into the sheriff’s car and we raced the few miles to the
motel. It looked as deserted as when I left a few hours ago.
From room fourteen all the way
to room twenty the doors were open. They were the doors I kicked open during my
frantic search for the others.
I explained this to the
Officers.
The thing that interested the
Sherriff was the sign hanging from the doorknob of room thirteen.
I had not noticed that sign in
my earlier panicky state. It said ‘Do not disturb’. What was interesting
the lawmen most was the smudged bloody handprint on that sign.
The Deputies drew their guns and
crashed the door.
It flew open. The intense odour
of putrid dead flesh flooded my nostrils.
Inside the room, laid out across
the bed were Kathy and Taylor. They were tethered to the bedstead with strands
of rusting wire cable, spread-eagled and naked. Their stomachs had been slit
open and their entrails extended across the floor.
Those black flies and an army of
brown rats were busily feasting on their remains………

TIME FOR TINY TUESDAY
I can't resist a hedgehog, and I think I've found a few to tickle your 'cuteness' factor.
Some people consider hedgehogs useful pets because they prey on many common garden pests. While on the hunt, they rely upon their senses of hearing and smell because their eyesight is weak.
Hedgehogs have a coat of stiff, sharp spines. If attacked they will curl into a prickly and unappetizing ball that deters most predators. They usually sleep in this position during the day and awaken to search for food at night.
A little information I found for those of you considering a hedgehog as a pet.
So tiny.
Hedgehog Santa
Enjoy your holidays.
Peace,
Barb
