Lucius is an Indiana Jones wannabe who never
quite measures up, until a twist of magic brings him powers
beyond belief... and reunites him with Jade, the one-night
stand he never forgot.
Despite the sizzling chemistry between them—and
the added power that comes with a love match—Jade
is determined to prove that she’s more than a researcher
… she can be a Nightkeeper warrior in her own right.
But as the two race to rescue the sun god
himself from the underworld, they learn that kicking ass
isn’t enough. They’ll need all their brains
and skill—and the long-denied love that burns between
them—to foil the dark lords’ plot.

Murphy's
Law, Doc Jess style
It
is a truth universally acknowledged in my household
that if one of our vehicles is fated to die at the side
of the highway, I will be the one driving when it croaks.

The
other day, I was loafing down a hill, minding my own business,
when the engine just turned itself off. No cough, no sputter,
no nothing. Just a dead stick on route 395. And then,
once I had horsed it into the breakdown lane and coasted
up the next hill a little, all the lights came back on
and the cheery ding-y noise started dinging away.
Um,
yeah. Poltergeist, aisle five.
According
to Chad the mechanic, there was a factory-tightened nut
that hadn't gotten factory tightened, worked itself loose,
and shorted my starter. Or something. The point is that
it was a fluke. I was going downhill at exactly the right
speed and angle to short it out, and then rolled back
uphill with enough oomph to unshort it.
That's
the sort of thing that happens to me and cars. It's anti-kismet.
Murphy's Law #69. (Number 68 is, of course, that if there's
a raffle, the person sitting next to me will win.)
Or
are those things just coincidences?
The
magic-wielding warriors I write about, the Nightkeepers,
have a saying: There's no such thing as coincidence; it's
all just the will of the gods. But today's Nightkeepers,
who grew up among us humans, don't always like buying
into their destinies. They'll do their best to save the
world from the disasters prophesied to hit in 2012, but
they're going to do it on their terms.
If
I were a Nightkeeper, I would want my magical talent to
be the ability to teleport. That'd totally take care of
the whole car-breaking-down thing. Then again … if
my bad vehicular luck transferred, I'm not sure I'd want
to be in the middle of a malfunctioning teleport spell!

DemonKeepers - 5 Ribbons RJ
"Come along for an exhilarating ride into the paranormal
world of Jade and Lucius. DEMONKEEPERS will keep you riveted
– intense sexual magic is the name of the game in DEMONKEEPERS,
and while some legends are solved, more are not and once more
the world of Jessica Andersen captivates, captures, and completely
grabs hold and won’t let go. I am totally in for the long
haul with this brilliant series – read them in order, read
them out of order – just read them and become immersed
in the mystical world of Mayan legends and the warriors called
the Nightkeepers!"--Natalie, RJ Reviewer

Miles in Love, Lois McMaster Bujold
(I love all the Vorkosigan
books, but this one is nearly defunct from rereading.)
Startide Rising, David Brin
(Three words: dolphins in
space.)
Chariots of the Gods? Erich von Daniken
(It was either
that or the DVD of Stargate.)
The Book of the Dead, E.A. Wallis Budge (In another lifetime,
I was an Egyptologist!)
Naked in Death, JD Robb
(Really, you just can't go wrong
with Eve and Roarke.)

Q:
What grows in Jessica's garden?
Whatever
tried to grow croaked a long time ago… I'm the
proverbial black thumb, which is pretty ironic given
that I used to work at a garden center and advise people
on how to care for their plants! These days, the un-husband
and I have exactly two houseplants, and I'm not allowed
to touch either of them (snicker).
I
am, however, into my lawn. Mowing is very therapeutic
for me-it's a boring, repetitive action that lets my
mind wander. Mowing time is usually when I do my best
work figuring out writing problems.

I'm a New Englander, so we have very distinct seasons,
and I love something about every single one of them.
But for me, the perfect combination is weather that's
warm enough for t-shirts but not hot enough for standing-and-sweating
… and has a low bug quota.
The unhusband and I moved out of the city to farm (or,
as we ex-Bostonians say it 'fahm') country about eight
years ago, and it's taken me about that long to unlearn
the twitch-and-squeak Spider Response or the "OMG
it's a hornet" dance. But although I've largely
learned to coexist with our multilegged friends, it's
because of them that I'm particularly partial to Indian
summer.
For those of you not familiar with Indian summer, it's
that lovely month or so after the first frost and before
the ground cools down, when it's lovely outside and
you're not sharing the atmosphere with a gazillion gnats,
or doing a pantleg check for Lyme ticks.
And best of all, it's the time of year when I can take
the laptop outside, pick a patch of grass, and write
without any multi-legged interruptions other than our
cats and dogs!
