Cover Reveal | Charmed by Lindy Zart

HERE IT IS!!!!!!! 

ISNT IT GORGEOUS!!!

Title: Charmed

Author: Lindy Zart

Series: The Charmed Trilogy
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Fantasy
Cover Designer: Marcy Rachel Designs 

Blurb/Synopsis:

On the day Taryn turns eighteen her life changes. A black-eyed man with a chilly aura accosts her and she's abducted by a man who really isn't a man, but a Manang; half-man, half-angel.

She's told she's someone special; a Charmed, and the key to winning in a battle of worlds about to collide. Only problem is, she can be a weapon of good or a weapon of bad, depending on who gets to her first.

Excerpt:

I was posed in ‘ready to flee’ mode; legs apart, body slightly leaning forward, arms out. It could also be called ‘showdown’ mode. “No way. I don’t know you. I’m not going anywhere with you.”

The man’s eyes flashed, reminding me of an angry god with his too-perfect looks. “Are you sure that’s the way you want it?”

“Is that a trick question?” Unease clenched my stomach. What did that mean? What was he going to do to me?

I didn’t have a chance to figure it out before he was directly in front of me, gazing down at me like I’d been a naughty child and needed punishment. “Get. In. The. Car.”

“No.” My breath left me in little panicky bursts. Strangely enough, this was the first time someone had ever attempted to kidnap me. I decided I really didn’t like it.

The wind picked up, blew my hair around my face. I brushed it aside just as he reached for me. The thought of his hands on me sent chills up and down my back in a completely unlikable, undesirable way. Completely.

I backpedaled toward the car, raising my hands. “I’m going.” Eyes on him, I veered to the left, trying to run sideways. Bad idea. I spun on loose gravel, flailed my arms about, and he had to catch me so I didn’t end up on my face. The irony of that did not escape me.

Arms around me, his face close to mine, I saw humor in his eyes as he looked down at me. “Not the most graceful one, are you?”

About the author:

I've been writing since I was a wee lass. I was reading before that; possibly while still in the womb. Don't think about that too much. I started out with short horror stories and poetry. I was terrible at it. The poems not so much, but the stories were awful. I decided to finish a book (and I DO mean finish--I'd started plenty throughout the years) when I was in my mid-twenties (so not that long ago because I'm young and will forever stay that way). Again, not my best work.

But that's the thing about writing; it improves with time. (It's also a good thing to know your work can't possibly be any worse than it was when you first started.) What I love most about writing is having people tell me how much they enjoy my work, how my writing touches them, makes them feel intensely. Bringing a reader to laughter or tears is a wonderful feeling for a writer, and no, I'm not sadistic. *insert evil laugh HERE* It means I got them to feel, to respond to something I created.

Also, I just like to make stuff up and put it down on paper. I have an endless supply of stories in my head; lots of stuff to share with the world. Happy Reading!

 Tagline: With Obsession comes the Ultimate Betrayal. Will Legend be willing to sacrifice everything for the one he loves?

Isnt it great?! *swoons* I cant wait until the blurb is done so I can post that as well!!

Now for the updates portion! My current WIP, Dragon's Revenge, has just broken 20k words and is moving along awesomely!!! Whats that? A quick snippet you want? SURE! lol.

“Now I have you in my clutches!” Aiden shouted as he jumped from the dark shadows holding a deadly looking wooden sword. Kaida gasped, pressing the back of her hand to her head and leaning dramatically against one of the shop walls.

“Oh Aiden. Please don’t kill me! I am but an innocent princess!” The little boy chuckled, still pointing his sword at her and stepping closer.

“You are now my princess, Princess! And we shall be married!” Kai slid to the ground with all the grace she could muster given her position, her pants and sword sheath bumping against the stonewall as she went down.

“Oh nooooooo!” He pounced and she caught him, holding him tightly as she tickled his ribs.

“Now I have YOU, Aiden!” The little boy gasped between laughs, trying to protest his new predicament. “Are we still going to get married? Huh huh huh?” She tickled harder.

“That’s not fair!” He managed to gasp before rolling away. “I’m supposed to capture you!” Kai laughed and stood to her feet, dusting herself off.

“And why is that?” She pulled him up and started to clean him off, straightening his clothes and clearing his face of dust.

“Because I’m a man.” She smirked at him.

“So?”

“The man is supposed to be the strong one.” Shaking her head, she brushed down his hair and pulled him into her arms.

“Do I seem like the type of girl that needs rescuing, Little Aiden?” She felt him shrug. “Listen to me, ok?” She dropped to her knee and looked him in the eyes. Kaida loved kids, they were all beautiful and she cherished their open minds and hearts. All children were brilliant to her but the things that their parents taught them made her want to vomit. Particularly Aiden. With his bright blue eyes and curly blonde hair. She wanted him to grow up brave and strong but find a woman who compliments him instead of cowers before him.

“A woman needs to be strong. Not always physically but she needs to be strong or else a man will have no one to back him.” Aiden looked at her a moment and nodded. “She needs to be his partner and friend in order for them to feel like equals and be happy.”

“Like you and Micah?” She tilted her head.

“Well. Me and Micah are friends as well as partners but he’s not my husband.” The little boy opened his mouth again but she shushed him. “Trust me Aiden. When you grow up, you’ll want a strong wife and a person who listens to your thoughts and ideas. Not…” She rustled his hair and stood. “A Princess.” He smiled at her.

“Maybe I want to marry you?” She laughed and picked him up, giving him a big kiss on the cheek.

“Then I would be happy to have you.” He squirmed from her arms, dropping to his feet as he wiped off the kiss.

*big smile* Yup! Im so excited to get this one in to the hands of my readers! I think youll love it! Has strong women, a gorgeous love interest, Mystery, vengeance, and tons of action!!!!

Updates Of The Literary Kind!

2) My current Work In Progress (WIP) is now titled "Dragon's Revenge". It may change again (was Dragon Queen before) but for now that's what it is. The story follows Kaida, Princess of the Dragon Kingdom and head of the Royal Guard, on her quest for revenge against those that came for her family. Don't want to give away too much yet but I think you guys will love it! In fact... here's a quick snippet to get you guys all hyped up about it!

 

The alarm shrieked through the air and Kaida was immediately on alert, yanking up her axe as she turned to Micah. He nodded and tossed her his own axe, drawing his sword from its sheath with one swift pull. Together, side by side, they tore through the forest at top speed. Kai felt the adrenaline pumping through her body and she gripped the handles of the axes tight, the thick wood and heavy metal of the blade giving her reassurance as she dashed for the village. Micah’s breath was strong and steady beside her, driving her forward as she rushed onto the cobble-stoned streets of the village. Everything seemed too quiet; no one scrambling around as the thick black smoke billowed into the air. Kaida felt herself on edge.

A dripping sound coming from the sweet shop drew her attention and she looked at Micah, nodding before moving towards the door. The scent of blood was thick in the air, the black smoke making it nearly impossible for her to see as she stepped through the doors though it didn’t mask the horror inside. Missus McClathery lay dead on the candy counter, her body twisted and bent at odd angles. A pool of urine trickled down the sides of the glass top, dripping on the stone floor. Kai felt her heart squeeze but pushed the feeling away as she backed out of the shop, her attention now turned to the Castle.

 “Micah,” She whispered to him, not wanting to meet his brown eyes. “My Father.”

“I know.” They didn’t need to say anything else as they rushed through the village, their steps silent on the stone road. A swift movement to the left was the only notice Kai got before a man came sailing at her; it was the only notice she needed. She spun to the right, swinging one ax upward just as the man reached her and sinking the thick blade right below his ribcage. The man howled, thick black blood oozing onto her ax as he jerked around for moments before Kai sliced the second ax through his neck. There was a moment of silence, neither Kai nor Micah moved as the man’s head soared through the air and landed with a sickening thunk down the road.

Hope you enjoyed the snippet and are excited!!!! Now... ON ON!!! 

3) For the month of March, I will be doing a NaNoWriMo style writing challenge. I shall strive to complete 50,000 words by March 31st!! Want to grab a WIP of your own and join me in my quest for novel completion?? Come on!!! 

4) Theres a special surprise in Symphoni! As many of you may know, I wrote a prequel to Symphoni titled Legend! It follows Legend and Symphoni's relationship before Greg came into the picture! Well, in the back of Symphoni is a special sneak peek!! Thats right! When you order Symphoni (March 15th!!!! woot!!), you will get some awesome insiders information into the mind of Greg's Archenemy (he said it. lol)! 

5) Got some awesome swag!!! So make sure you stay tuned for ways to win!

 From The Journal Of Legend Deimos

January 23^rd

My head is buzzing and I can feel myself becoming twitchy as I sit here writing, the sound of the pen scribbling across the pad is sending flashes of pain into my head but I need to get this out of my mind and on to paper as I frequently find my brain too full of thoughts to think clearly. I hope that makes sense. Not that it matters as I will be the only one reading this.

Im not sure what to do with myself at this point. Immortality can only be bearable for so long when your only real companion is your twin sister and you're always on call for whatever evil deed the Titans have planned for you. It gets old. Hundreds of years of life and you still aren’t your own person. Unable to be completely free without always wondering who's peering over your shoulders. Sometimes I lay in bed and just think of all the things I could be doing and the different choices I would make if I were in charge of my own destiny. But that's not the way things are when you are created for a specific purpose and have real choices in life. This is the way things are for me. This is the way things always will be and I need to learn to accept it. For my safety and for that of my sister's I just need to keep my mouth shut and do as I am told.

But I'm Legend Deimos. And everyone knows that keeping my mouth shut is damn near impossible.

Now... ON TO THE UPDATES!!!

Reading: Caught In The Dragon's Cove by Ressa Empbra
Writing: Legend
Listening to: Slept So Long by Jay Gordon
Snacking on: grapes and pepsi!!

Stay lovely guys!!!
