For the orphaned elf, Arwenna, life had treated her kindly. Her human foster
parents raised her well, preparing her for life as a cleric of the God, Silas.
The illusion shattered when she was convicted of treason by the Paladins of
Silas and executed.
Death wasn’t the paradise she expected. Tortured by
demons, the layers of lies that had clouded her mind began to peel away. She’d
been tricked into betraying Senyan, a man she thought she loved. Her skills had
been used to bind the Demon Lord, Corse, to him. She was never intended to serve
Silas. Arwenna bore the mark of a Daughter of Hauk.
Would Hauk give her
the chance to stop Corse from fully manifesting in the world? And would she be
able to save Senyan from the abyss she helped send him to?

The famous rum drink that is consumed throughout the book HOOKED
This is the real deal.
In a double insulated tumbler, large, fill with ice cubs.
*Add two to three ounces of amber rum, Mont Gay is good.
* Fill with DIET tonic water, not regular.
* Squeeze one lime slice into glass and garnish with lime and cherry
* Splash of cherry juice.
Then, find a beach soon and stay there. Also a good summer read like HOOKED. Keep you laughing and wishing you brought he entire bottle.
“HOOKED” is based on the true-life story of Virginia outdoor television producer
Jim Baugh. Jim Baugh Outdoors TV is one of Americas most diverse and
entertaining outdoor programs and has been in syndication since
1989.
“HOOKED” is a hilarious look behind the scene stories of
filming a southern outdoor TV show. From the Chesapeake Bay to Key West these on
location excursions will make your sides hurt with laughter. A cast of sea
faring characters full of color and humor. From the docks in Gloucester Virginia
to the Atlantic Ocean and a boat load of jolly swashbuckling Pirates. The
stories and characters in “HOOKED” are timeless and span a period of over forty
years.
In contrast, “HOOKED” also explores the solemn drama of
dealing with divorce, death, and mental illness.
The story also
delves into the totally crazy insane world of mid-life on-line computer dating.
This is a hilarious look at dating in the computer world after 25 years of solid
marriage. These “Dating” stories are contemporary, racy, scary, cheerful,
timeless, and based on true events. Anyone who is old enough to date will soon
relate to “HOOKED” as the comical reference for dating in the new
millennium.
This adult romantic comedy story also relates to the
power and testament of faith.

1. Pour a shot (or two) of Crown Royal into a big glass of ice-cold lemonade.
2. Drink it.
Don't bother stirring this drink. I don't know why but it tastes better unmixed (is that a word?) I think this is called a Lemon Crown. After the 2nd drink, you won't care. After the 3rd, you won't remember anyway.
Can a man from the 21st century survive in 1847? Murdered on his birthday,
August Myles finds crossing over is nothing like he’d ever heard, read, or
imagined, and learns he has not earned a ticket to Paradise. In a grand
experiment, the members of the Divine Council gave August another chance. Or did
they?
With all the limitations of a mortal, he is sent back in time with an
impossible mission - an adventure filled with triumph and tragedy, courage and
fear, sex and violence, happiness and heartbreak - a grueling journey on the
Oregon Trail. And with all the needs and passions of a mortal, August must also
battle the advances of two gorgeous women during long months and close
encounters. One woman just wants to seduce him. Another falls in love. But for
August Myles, carnal knowledge is forbidden.
Is there no justice?

When corporate trainer Lysi Weston attends a conference in Sydney, Australia,
g’day turns into a very bad day after her Harlem-born colleague, Grace Wright,
stumbles on the battered body of a childhood friend. Determined to sniff out the
murderer, Lysi embarks on a labyrinth of trails that lead her to suspect a

until it jeopardizes his investigation. He orders her to stay out of his way, a
directive she ignores. Both irritated with and attracted to her he begins to
long for the quiet life on his Outback sheep station.

eliminating the last piece of incriminating evidence–Lysi Weston.
