How To Stop Paying Your Mortgage Without Leaving Home

This just published e-book reveals the dirty little secrets of the real estate industry. This is not your grandfather’s guide to realty transactions; it’s a potent tool to slay the zombie monsters created by big-government regulation, big-bank manipulation, and above all the big complacent ignorance that keeps people in chains.

When did the dream house turn into a debtors’ prison? When did “buying land” start to mean, “going underwater?” Once upon a time in America, keeping up with the Joneses used to mean every family could own their own home free and clear. As time went on, people started buying younger and younger, they invested less and less up front, they wanted more and more built-in conveniences, and they extended their mortgages longer and longer. Before the next generation could realize it, they had become lifetime slaves in homes that were their own and yet not their own. That’s the thirty- and forty-year mortgage; a lifetime career of indentured servitude.

Find out how to make your home your own castle once again! Read “HOW TO STOP PAYING YOUR MORTGAGE WITHOUT LEAVING HOME” today and learn how people like you are already exerting their nonpayment rights from the comfort of their own homes!

Book Description:

A girl with a broken past and a dark secret. A boy with a twisted future and no second chances.  When they meet, it just might cost them their souls.

Sixteen-year-old Summer doesn’t expect the new boarding school to be any different than the rest: a temporary stay where everyone will turn against her after a few weeks. Until she meets the rest of the students at this special school and realizes she’s not the only one with magic in her blood.  Accustomed to the concrete jungle of LA, she gets lost one night in the forests of the Rocky Mountains and meets Decker, the boy who will become the Master of Night and Fire on his eighteenth birthday. Their connection is instant and dangerous, for both will be forced to choose between Light and Dark, life and death, love – and their souls.

One choice. One soul. One price.

Available for purchase at Amazon US, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble

Excerpt:

“This is simple. Decker, you lead. When he steps forward, Summer you step back.”

They stumbled through the first few steps, with Decker mumbling apologies as he stepped on her toes. Summer’s body felt like it was on fire. Her breathing sounded too loud in her ears.

“Step back, Summer,” Jessie said again. “Let Decker lead!”

Decker smashed her toes, and she stumbled. He caught her as she crashed into him.

“Careful, Decker!” Jessie called.

Summer looked up, instantly caught in Decker’s gaze. His grip stayed around her, pressing their bodies together. As if something clicked, she sensed his next move before he made it. She stepped back with her right foot as he stepped forward with his left. They made it through another step, then another. Their moves grew faster as they began keeping up with the music.

“Excellent!” Jessie exclaimed. “Now you’ve found the rhythm. One, two, three.One, two, three.”

Summer couldn’t look away from him. Their bodies moved as if they belonged together. Decker’s warmth and magick made her feel like her insides were shaking. Jessie’s voice broke through Summer’s trance.

“Sorry, guys, but I can’t find any of my other music. I’ll download some for tomorrow. You want to come back in the morning, after your class, Summer?”

Summer broke eye contact with Decker. Immediately, they fell out of sync and stumbled. He released her and stepped away.

“Sure,” she managed.

“You, too, Decker. You guys are naturals together.”

Summer flushed and turned away, avoiding Decker’s gaze. She’d felt it, too, the instant connection that went too deep to be normal.

“Thanks, Jessie,” Summer said and hurried out of the room. She ran once she entered the hallway and sprinted up the stairs to her room.

Her hands shook. Her heart felt like it was doing cartwheels in her chest. She’d never felt this way for any guy, even Beck.

Decker was off limits. He was aligned to the Dark. She wouldn’t—couldn’t—be falling for him! Yet their connection was unlike anything she’d ever felt. In his arms, she hadn’t been alone.

BLURB:

SHE HUNGERS FOR HIS LIGHT

She calls herself Valerie Tate. One of the few vampires left on earth, as beautiful as she is powerful, Valerie has resisted her craving for human blood for years, just as she once hid her true gender. But the night she lays eyes on the most enticing man she’s ever seen, it’s game over. He radiates goodness and light—and searing sexual energy.  Valerie must have him. Taste him. Consume him. For he is temptation—and he is her destiny…

 

HE BURNS FOR HER DARKNESS

Lance Soleil is a rugged war veteran who runs a homeless shelter in Portland. At first gaze, he knows what Valerie is—and wants her even more. But when he welcomes a pack of werewolves into his shelter, he attracts the attention of Valerie’s oldest rival—her bloodthirsty brother, Radu, who hopes to become the first vampire President of the United States. Valerie knows Radu has a hidden agenda, and with Lance’s help she is determined to stop his unholy rise to power. But first, she must risk their growing love by fully revealing herself—as the one and only Dracula…

EXCERPT:

Wallachia

 

November 25, 1431

She swam in an ocean of blood.

The exhausted, dark-haired mother howled in pain and freedom as the crown of a baby’s head emerged from between her legs. The woman panted and heaved, thrashing her sweat and gore-drenched body from side to side. Snow mixed with thunder and rain lashed the tower of the family castle, chilling the already icy room.

Vlad Dracul crouched at her feet, his face stiff and set under his moustache. His outstretched fingers curled into fists and opened again as he waited for the infant to emerge. Blankets, rags, and a pot of steaming water at his elbow kept him company. His jaw clenched with every echoing scream and his shoulders tightened with every passing moment. Not even the usual rushing of the river below covered the cries of Cneajna, his wife.

The violent storm outside had prevented the midwife’s presence. Earlier in the night, the mother had demanded that only Vlad remain with her as the pain worsened. No one defied Cneajna, even as water and blood rushed down her legs and painted her body. Vlad knew, however, that the women of the castle waited in the downstairs chamber, ready to help if he called. He was absurdly grateful for their nearness.

Fearless in the face of death, Vlad had nearly fainted at the sight of his wife in labor. The smell of the birth blood that saturated the bed roiled his stomach in ways a festering abdominal wound never did.

Another contraction. She pulled the ropes tied to the fur-lined headboard of the birth bed. The wood groaned under her strength as wave after wave of labor shuddered her body. Vlad’s heart winced at his woman’s pale, sweating face.

Another scream shook the room and Vlad saw the first peep of a black-haired head. Under the power of the mother’s undulating body, a tiny, angry face emerged.

So as per usual my poor blog has been ignored of late. I always have good intentions and have several tutorials planned but the days seem to end before I can get my entire to do list finished. If only that pesky sleeping and cooking for my family wouldn’t get in my way I might get more accomplished. So here’s a couple book cover designs I did this week.  I’ve also included the book info so it’s a little less shameless self promotion and makes it seem I’m promoting the authors.

Available at Amazon for only .99

Lizzy Ford’s latest YA paranormal romance Dark Summer (Book I, Witchling Trilogy) is now available. I got to read an ARC of this book and it totally blew me away. The one thing I love the most about Lizzy’s writing is how realistic her characters are. They have flaws, they do stupid things. Things I can relate to. Even though they live in a magical world with supernatural abilities I can still find myself within them. Her characters and worlds are so relatable and likeable. And she always keeps me guessing. Her books are unpredictable and suck me in. I stayed awake til 5 am reading this book because I had to know what happened. Lizzy drew me in from the very beginning and there was no way I could stop until I found out the ending.

My favorite character from the book has to be Sam, an auburn haired yeti. Yes that’s right there’s a wisecracking bigfoot in this book, and it totally makes sense. I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel to be released to find out what happens to Decker and Summer. I highly recommend this book.

Favorite Quotes:

Summer whirled and ran. The auburn-haired figure ahead of her disappeared into the forest. The growling and sound of pursuit stopped suddenly. She glanced over her shoulder and slowed. The cougar was gone. She pressed her shaking hands to her face.

It was early for hallucinations. She’d only just arrived.

~~~~~~~~~~

“You can’t kill until you’re eighteen, Decker,” his mother reminded him. She crossed her arms. “Killing humans is a tough line to cross.”

“But you just did it.”
