Author Bio:<br />
Cambria Hebert is an award winning, bestselling novelist of more than twenty books. She went to college for a bachelor’s degree, couldn’t pick a major, and ended up with a degree in cosmetology. So rest assured her characters will always have good hair. <br />
Besides writing, Cambria loves a caramel latte, staying up late, sleeping in, and watching movies. She considers math human torture and has an irrational fear of chickens (yes, chickens). You can often find her running on the treadmill (she’d rather be eating a donut), painting her toenails (because she bites her fingernails), or walking her chorkie (the real boss of the house). <br />
Cambria has written within the young adult and new adult genres, penning many paranormal and contemporary titles. Her favorite genre to read and write is romantic suspense. A few of her most recognized titles are: The Hashtag Series, Text, Torch, and Tattoo.<br />
Cambria Hebert owns and operates Cambria Hebert Books, LLC.<br />

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
“Family meeting!” I yelled from the bottom of the stairs, then, without pause, hit a few buttons on the phone screen.<br />
“This better be good,” a voice grumbled in my ear after several rings.<br />
“Family meeting,” I declared again.<br />
He started to groan, but I hung up.<br />
Family meetings were not negotiable. Not ever. Especially when I had something good I wanted to say.<br />
Rimmel shuffled out of the kitchen, drowning in my hoodie and a pair of oversized sweats. Her hair looked like a chicken took up residence in the strands, and her nose was all scrunched up, accentuating the tired look in her eyes.<br />
“Roman Anderson!” she chided, sassy as ever. “What in the world do you think you’re doing yelling up the stairs like that at six a.m.?”<br />
Running a hand through my damp hair, I gave her a crooked smile. “Family meeting, baby.”<br />
She snorted. “There can’t possibly be anything that important at this hour. If you wake up the boys with all that yelling…” she warned. In her arms, our daughter stirred. Rim glanced down then back at me accusingly. “Look what you did!”<br />
I rolled my eyes. “London was already awake,” I pointed out, gazing directly at the bottle Rim was holding.<br />
Rimmel looked down at our daughter, her eyes softening. My heart clutched a little, tightness squeezing my chest. London might be our youngest child, but seeing Rim standing in my house, drowning in sweats and holding my daughter, was something that would always affect me.<br />
They were perfect standing there. My girls.<br />
“Your daddy is a crazy man,” Rimmel told London. “Calling silly meetings at the crack of dawn.”<br />
London made a sound and reached up for the black-framed glasses perched on Rim’s face.<br />
“Nothing I do is silly! Don’t be telling my girl disparaging things about me,” I grumped, going forward to gently take her out of Rimmel’s arms. After taking the bottle, I glanced down. “Don’t listen to her, Strawberry. Mommy’s just grouchy without her coffee.”<br />
London smelled like Rimmel, and I cuddled her closer into my chest. She reached for the bottle and pulled it to her mouth, her wide blue eyes staring at me like I was the only thing she saw in the world.<br />
Smiling, I brushed at the soft dark hair covering her head. She was a miniature version of my wife, only with blue eyes.<br />
The only one of our children to actually favor Rim in looks over me.<br />
“Go get some coffee, baby. I got this.”<br />
When Rimmel didn’t move, I glanced up. She was staring at me and London.<br />
Lifting an eyebrow, I said, “What?”<br />
That kissable mouth of hers pulled into a soft smile. “I just like watching you with her.”<br />
“You make good kids, smalls.”<br />
“You aren’t so bad yourself, Mr. Anderson.”<br />
Heavy footfalls on the stairs made Rim lift her head.<br />
“I’m gonna kick you in the ass, Rome,” Braeden grumped, scrubbing a hand over his face as he yawned.<br />
“Rise and shine,” I drawled, then leaned over to kiss Rimmel on the forehead. “Get your coffee,” I instructed softly.<br />
“It better already be made,” B bickered, brushing past.<br />
Rimmel smiled and turned to go into the kitchen, but her feet got caught in the damn too-large sweatpants and she pitched sideways.<br />
I lunged forward, clutching our daughter in one hand and reaching out with the other. Braeden moved a little quicker and scooped her up before she could hit the floor.<br />
“Girl, either eat a steak or get some pants that fit,” he said, placing her on her feet.<br />
“I thought you were half asleep.” She smacked his chest and started toward the kitchen. She fell so much it didn’t even faze her anymore.<br />
I glanced down at London. “You can look like Mommy all you want, but how about taking on my reflexes, huh?”<br />
“I ain’t so tired I can’t catch my sister before she busts her ass.” B scolded Rim as they continued into the kitchen. “We got shit to do today. A hospital visit ain’t on the list.”<br />
“You know what this meeting is about?” The accusation in her voice made me wince, and I hot-footed it into the living room. I’d let him deal with that.<br />

<blockquote>
<div class="p1">
My best friend, Liam Mattison, was born with snow in his veins.</div>
<div class="p1">
Me? Ice.</div>
<div class="p1">
Maybe that’s why my eyes are this color. Maybe it’s because I was born in Caribou, where there’s more snow than sun.</div>
<div class="p1">
I always knew I had a chill within me, but after my time with the army, that chill froze over. I saw and did things most people couldn’t fathom. I made contacts with people who were more beast than man.</div>
<div class="p1">
I came home altered, and there was no going back.</div>
<div class="p1">
Except I did. It had to be done, and I didn’t regret it.</div>
<div class="p1">
But now I’m thrust back into a world where people had forgotten my name. Back into a past I walked away from.</div>
<div class="p1">
Memories of all the things I’ve done, of the people I’ve left behind, are floating to the surface.</div>
<div class="p1">
The late-night summons wasn’t really unexpected.</div>
<div class="p1">
The request was.</div>
<div class="p1">
Saying no is impossible when you’re the only man equipped for the job. Saying no is difficult when what you really want to say is yes.</div>
<div class="p1">
So here I am, past and present colliding with a woman I intentionally left behind. A woman who needs me to keep her alive.</div>
<div class="p1">
I made a promise, and I will keep it.</div>
<div class="p1">
Even if I die doing it. Even if it means the ice inside me goes subzero.</div>

Author Bio:<br />
Cambria Hebert is an award winning, bestselling novelist of more than twenty books. She went to college for a bachelor’s degree, couldn’t pick a major, and ended up with a degree in cosmetology. So rest assured her characters will always have good hair. <br />
Besides writing, Cambria loves a caramel latte, staying up late, sleeping in, and watching movies. She considers math human torture and has an irrational fear of chickens (yes, chickens). You can often find her running on the treadmill (she’d rather be eating a donut), painting her toenails (because she bites her fingernails), or walking her chorkie (the real boss of the house). <br />
Cambria has written within the young adult and new adult genres, penning many paranormal and contemporary titles. Her favorite genre to read and write is romantic suspense. A few of her most recognized titles are: The Hashtag Series, Text, Torch, and Tattoo.<br />
Cambria Hebert owns and operates Cambria Hebert Books, LLC.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Join Darcy Walker in season one of SIDE HUSTLE, a three-part serial where she leaves the Cincinnati, Ohio, area for the bright lights and bustling action of Los Angeles, California. Crimes are darker, people are more colorful, but one thing remains the same—Darcy Walker solves crime one way: living life like a verb.</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Darcy Walker excels at lies, deception, and outthinking the bad guys. She has the résumé to prove it. While waiting to attend the police academy, she takes her talents into pizza delivery. Little does she know, life as a delivery driver isn’t all pizza and wings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a late-night run to a customer’s home, Darcy’s delivery turns deadly. She stumbles into a murder mystery straight out of a Hollywood script—a blood-soaked crime scene with no known witnesses except a suspicious man with a Mona Lisa smile. To compound the trifecta, the victim appears to have a past he’s been trying to outrun. Uncovering his secret-filled life leads Darcy and some new friends on a high-voltage journey, intersecting with a former adversary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When shadows of this old enemy surface, Darcy realizes black and white are an absolute as sure as the sun’s rotation. One wrong move could keep her from the academy, and one screw up could mean a friend of hers breathes his last breath. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Side Hustle, solving crime takes a backseat to the moral dilemma she’s placed in: protect her dream or keep a friend alive. Will Darcy uncover who murdered her customer? Or will a Grim Reaper from the past end her and her friends’ lives first?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Readers call the Darcy Walker Series Stephanie Plum meets Veronica Mars meets The Blacklist in this #1 Amazon Bestseller in Teens Mysteries & Thrillers, Spies & Detective Stores.</div>

J. lives in Cincinnati with her husband, two feministic daughters, an ADD dog, a spoiled hamster, and an unapologetic and unrepentant addiction to Coca-Cola. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, watching too much cable TV, or cheering like a banshee at hometown sporting events. But as always, she’s dreaming of her characters and eavesdropping-slash-creeping on those around her to find out how people interact.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My Journey: Living With Metastatic Breast Cancer.</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 1em;">
When I was diagnosed with cancer I was asked by friends to keep a journal, with the hope that I would publish it. I kept the journal but I still wasn't 100% sure whether I would release it as it it something where I completely bare my soul. Something that shows the real me, behind the mask of smiles.</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">In this journal I talk about everything, and I mean everything. I talk about how it also affects my other health issues.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">This book is not for the faint hearted and if real life offends you then this book is not for you.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">You may wonder why I am releasing it and there are so many reasons. Friends wanted to know what it was like to live with cancer. Some of these friends have cared for others, and are still caring for people, with cancer. A lot of people do not like to talk about what they are going through.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">I am open, I always have been. However, there are so many things I kept to myself. So many things I held back from revealing to friends, but these are the things I put down in the book.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">If, after all of this, I can help just one person then I have succeeded in my mission to raise awareness. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-top: 1em;">

2017 was one of the hardest times of my life. It was the year I was diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; tab-stops: 212.65pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Christmas Snow"; font-size: 24.0pt; line-height: 115%;">T</span>ime waits for no man. It has its own schedule and
doesn’t give you extra seconds or minutes. It doesn’t wait for you to say the
things you want or do the things you need to. It doesn’t wait around for you to
say goodbye or<span style="color: red;"> </span>to tell someone how much you love
them. Before you know it, it is too late, and you don’t get a chance for a do
over. I know this all too well because last year, my mum lost her battle to
cancer. She was my rock. She was the most beautiful and loving mother who I
loved, and still love, unconditionally. But now I’m left with a gaping hole in
my chest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; tab-stops: 212.65pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
If I had hoped that my dad would be
there to comfort me after I lost my mum, then I was sorely mistaken. He became
withdrawn. He quit his job, or rather his employer let him go because he
stopped going in. My dad stopped doing a lot of things, such as washing,
dressing, eating, and even talking. What could I do? I was 14 years old. I
wanted to be held, comforted, to be told that everything was going to be okay,
and that we would get through this together, but that never happened. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; tab-stops: 212.65pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
One thing I was grateful for was my best
friend, Lauren McLaren, and her family. They were there for me in ways I wished
my dad was. But I never felt complete, and a lot of the time, I felt like a
burden.<span style="color: red;"> </span>I knew they had no qualms with me being
there all of the time. I had pretty much moved in with them, and they had
already begun including me in everything they did, but I felt resentment for
what they had.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; tab-stops: 212.65pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
If I thought things were going to get
better, I was wrong. There I was, a year older and sitting in the Accident and
Emergency room of Edinburgh’s Royal Infirmary with doctors and nurses running
around. People were crying, children squealing,<span style="color: red;"> </span>and
grownups were<span style="color: red;"> </span>complaining, whilst I sat there
frozen in time whilst doctors tried to revive my dad.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; tab-stops: 212.65pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
Yeah, you read that right. My dad was
lying on a hospital gurney, dying. Dying. I couldn’t even bring myself to cry.
No tears welled up as I sat there in the busy waiting room.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; tab-stops: 212.65pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
Fifteen years old and I knew that my dad
had given up. He didn’t see me. The fun loving dad I knew and loved had died
the same day my mum had. It was just me who had to carry this burden.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Lucas stood in the middle of the road,
outside of the cottage, and pinched the bridge of his nose. For years he had
imagined what it would be like to see Lydia again but all of them she had
remembered him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Being with her
today had been hard. So many times he wanted to reach out and touch her. To
feel her in his arms again and inhale her familiar scent. She had always
smelled of freshly mowed grass mixed with a sea breeze. It was a smell that
constantly lingered with him. All he ever needed to do was close his eyes and
the aroma would engulf him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Beside him Kim
stood whistling as she looked around. She was desperate to talk to Lucas but
she felt as though he needed few minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Finally, Lucas
dropped his hand and looked up at the sky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Does he know?”
He sighed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Kim paused from
kicking the gravel she was kicking to try and feel Lucas’ mood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yup.” She
shrugged. Kim wasn’t one to lie and she knew Lucas didn’t want details.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Lucas nodded.
“He’s probably watching right now.” He stated as he glanced at the trees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Probably.” Kim
joined Lucas and looked at the trees. There was no probably about it. She knew
that Cole was sitting watching. “Lucas…” She started to say but her words
trailed off as Lucas took to the sky, transforming into a beautiful hawk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 11.0pt;">Lucas flew
straight home. He loved to fly. Out of all the animals he could transform into
a hawk was his favourite. There was something about the feel of the wind
beneath his wings. There were no words to describe it. He felt free. His mind
was always full of Lydia and flying was a chance to clear his thoughts.
Subconsciously he knew that he always took flight in a hope to see her. That
one day she would walk into Mystic Valley.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I walked through the
school gates and headed home. I was about half way when I spotted them. Sat in
the black Fiat Punto were Sean, Paul, and James, with Kelly in the driver's
seat. A few steps away, I spotted Justin and Jessica, who seemed to be having a
heated argument. Mainly one sided. Jessica's red hair seemed to blow fiercely
around her, even though there was no wind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I stopped and paused for
a moment, unsure whether to continue walking or not. Jessica hadn't bothered me
for a while now, but that still didn't stop me from feeling on edge every time
I saw her, especially when she was so angry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I looked to the field on
my right. I could easily climb the fence, walk across the field, and go through
the trees at the far end. It should bring me out two streets away from my home.
I hadn't noticed that it had gone quiet and they were all watching me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I looked over at their
faces, and for some reason, they all looked nervous. Then my eyes fell on
Jessica. She was furious.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">"I warned you!"
she seethed. I could see her slowly moving towards me. Her teeth were grinding
together and her hands were clenching and unclenching in fists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">My heart started to beat
faster, my palms becoming sweaty. It was hard to swallow around the huge lump
that had appeared in my throat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Jess!” I saw Justin
place his hands on her arms. “It's not time,” I think I heard him say, as I saw
movement from the car and the others started to get out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Jessica had noticed, too,
making her start running towards me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">In that second, I knew I
had to jump the fence. I dropped my rucksack and hurtled over the fence,
throwing myself into a sprint across the field. But it was too late; she was
too fast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I felt like my head was
being pulled off. I screamed as she dragged me to the ground and started
kicking and punching me. I was sure one of my ribs broke. The pain was
excruciatingly unbearable. I couldn't stop screaming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Why
was no one helping me? Why had no one got her off me? Why me? What had I done?
Why? Why? Why?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I started to feel angry.
The feeling of heat from my anger was building and building to the point where
it took over the pain. I couldn't control it. I'd never felt so angry before.
That's when I heard Jessica scream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“She's burnt me!” Jessica
yelped both in pain and confusion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“There's a towel and a
couple of bottles of water in the back of the car,” I heard Kelly say. “Paul?
James? You go get them. Justin?” She paused for a moment. I was still curled up
in a ball. I had no idea what was going on. <i>Who
burnt who?</i> All I knew was my anger was starting to fade and the pain was
taking over. Tears streamed down my face. I still couldn't look up when Kelly
continued. “Get her out of here!” she snapped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I expected to feel hands
on me, dragging me up, but I felt nothing. It sounded like I was alone. All I
could hear were my muffled cries of pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Erin?” I heard the
concerned voice of Sean whisper in my ear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I didn't move or speak. I
started to take deep breaths to try to overcome the pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Can you hear me, Erin?”
Kelly asked in a soothing voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Then I felt someone
stroking my left cheek. I froze. Was my mind playing tricks on me? My breathing
started to accelerate and the stroking stopped, but the hand didn't move off my
cheek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“Shhh, it's okay. We won't
hurt you.” It was Sean again. It must have been his hands on my cheek. He went
back to stroking my face as I heard footsteps approaching.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">“We phoned Kate. She's going
to meet us at the cottage,” I heard Paul and James chorus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> “Erin?” Kelly spoke this time. She didn't wait
for a reply. “I'm just going to put some water on you and wrap you in a towel,”
she told me gently, as I curled up tighter in a frightened ball.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I couldn't feel water on
me, just the sound of something hissing. I did start to feel cooler though,
which was a plus, but the pain was still there and taking control of my body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">I didn't even want to
look down to examine myself. If I was in this much pain, I could only imagine
how bad I looked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Suddenly, I felt someone
put a towel around me and lift me up into their arms in one quick movement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Before I could open my
eyes or try to get away, everything went black.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One of America's well known serial killers was a man born Herman Webster Medgett but went by the name of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, or more commonly known as H. H. Holmes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Born in 1861 in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, H. H. Holmes took over a Chicago pharmacy, after the owner mysteriously disappeared, and built it into an elaborate maze of death traps to which he lured numerous victims during the 1893 Columbian Expedition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;">The upper floors contained his living quarters and many small rooms where he tortured and killed his victims. Some of these rooms had gas jets so that Holmes could asphyxiate his victims. There were also trapdoors and chutes so that he could move the bodies down to the basement where he could burn his victims’ remains in a kiln there or dispose of them in other ways.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 22.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">During this time Holmes was involved in a lot of insurance scams and it was one of these scams that led to his undoing. He joined forces with Benjamin Pitezel to collect $10,000 from a life insurance company. The two traveled around for a time committing other frauds. Landing in jail in Texas, Holmes brought fellow inmate Marion Hedgepeth—who knew Holmes as H.M. Howard—in on the life insurance scheme with Pitezel. When Holmes failed to deliver Hedgepeth's share of the deal, Hedgepeth tipped off the authorities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;"></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 22.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">While they eventually identified Howard as Holmes, the authorities did not catch on to Holmes soon enough to stop his final murders. He killed Pitezel and then convinced Pitezel’s widow that her husband was still alive. Becoming concerned that the five Pitezel children might expose him, he went away with three of the children, eventually killing them<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 22.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">At first, Holmes was charged with insurance fraud. He later stood trial for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel. During his time in custody, Holmes gave numerous stories to police, once admitting to killing 27 people. Estimates range from 20 to 100 victims, with some going as high as 200 victims. If Holmes even did half of the crimes associated with him, he clearly surpassed later American serial killers such as Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy in his depravity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 22.5pt;">
</div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0cm 0cm 22.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">After his conviction, Holmes appealed his case, but lost. He met his end on May 7, 1896, when he was hanged for the Pitezel murder in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His life as one of America's first serial killers has been the subject of many books and documentaries, including <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Devil in the White City</em> (2003), written by Erik Larson.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, initially when I began my search I was looking for the world's first serial killer and H. H. Holmes kept coming up. After digging further I can now say that the first documented serial killers were two women, dating back to 331 BC. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is said that several Roman men died in what was thought to be the plague until a servant woman revealed that they had in fact been poisoned by two matrons. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The women admitted to preparing the concoction and but said it was medicinal and they would prove it by drinking it. They died immediately.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you think they were guilty and they drank the 'medicine' to not get the death penalty? Or was it a genuine mistake and they believed what they were doing was helping?</div>
<div>

<u>Friday 13th</u></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">Superstition leads us to believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. So many people refuse to do anything on this day, scared that something may happen to them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">We all know that the number 13 is consider to be unlucky but why is it when placed on a Friday it makes people so fearful?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The superstition surrounding this day may have arisen in the </span>Middle Ages<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">, "originating from the story of Jesus' </span>last supper<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> and </span>crucifixion<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> in which there were 13 individuals present in the </span>Upper Room<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> on the 13th of Nisan </span>Maundy Thursday<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">, the night before his death on </span>Good Friday<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> While there is evidence of both </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 14px;">Friday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> and the number 13 being considered unlucky, there is no record of the two items being referred to as especially unlucky in conjunction before the 19th century.</span></span></div>
<div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Also, events including the great flood during the time of Noah, Eve tempting Adam with the forbidden fruit and Jesus' death all apparently happened on Fridays.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Others believe it's linked to Norse mythology, which tells how Loke, the demigod of mischief turned up uninvited, joining 12 others and taking their number to 13.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">In some Spanish speaking countries it is Tuesday 13th that is considered unlucky and in Italy it is Friday the 17th.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47;">Those who fear the number 13 itself are said to suffer from <span style="background: none rgb(255 , 255 , 255); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaidekaphobia" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;" title="Triskaidekaphobia">triskaidekaphobia</a>.</b></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background: none rgb(255 , 255 , 255); color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background: none rgb(255 , 255 , 255); color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Here is a list of things that have happened on Friday 13th:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background: none rgb(255 , 255 , 255); color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>

<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">On Friday the 13th, 1969, a black cat darted onto the field during a decisive late season matchup between the Cubs and the Mets, both jockeying to lead their division. As the story goes</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , serif; font-size: 18px;">, </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , serif;">the cat ignored the Mets and stared into the Cubs dugout for 10 seconds before disappearing. The Cubs crumbled after that game, losing 18 of their next 27 games and toppling from first place in the division. They didn't really shake that curse until last season—and then lost to the Mets in the playoffs.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , serif;">At 13:13 military time on Friday the 13th in 2010, a 13-year-old boy was allegedly struck by lightning<span style="font-size: 18px;"> in Suffolk, England. He survived with only a minor burn. And from that moment on, he had, hands down, the best party story of all time.</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In September of 1996, Tupac Shakur died on Friday the 13th, almost a week after he was shot four times in a drive-by. Of course, scores of conspiracy theorists maintain that he's not actually dead. </span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">On Friday, October 13, 1972, a plane full of Uruguayan rugby players crashed into the snowy Chilean mountains. Only 27 of the original 45 passengers survived. The bad luck continued: without supplies, the survivors had to eat their dead teammates. A few weeks later, an avalanche killed eight more. And the 16 remaining survivors were not rescued until the end of December. Horrifying. </span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In 1923, the Hollywood sign was unveiled on July 13. Originally, it said "Hollywoodland," and it advertised a new housing development. So you could say the entire movie industry, symbolized by this sign and symbolizing vanity, commercialism, sell-outs, etc., etc., has its origins on Friday the 13th. Makes sense.</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Friday 13th August, 1976, was particularly unlucky for New York man Daz Baxter. Having elected to stay in bed to ward off bad luck, the floor of his apartment block collapsed and he fell six storeys to his death.</div>
</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">A full moon on Friday February 13th, 1987, drove troubled Robert Bullard, 21, to attempt suicide by putting his head in a gas oven.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Not only was his methodology flawed – suicide by natural gassing is virtually impossible since Britain moved from lethal coke gas to less dangerous natural gas – but a flicked light switch caused an explosion which injured his mother and a policeman and caused £35,000.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Robert was unharmed.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Friday 13 February 1998 was simply business as usual for Mancunian John Sheridan, dubbed Britain’s unluckiest man after once having his car stolen five times in one day, making 16 trips to casualty in two years, seeing eight TVs explode in six months and losing out on a £4000 lottery win when he put the ticket in the washing machine with his jeans.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 23px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">On Friday 13th October 13, 2006, 36 inches of snow fell on upstate New York. The ensuing chaos claimed three lives and incurred $130 million of damage.</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif;">I could be here all day listing all the different things that have happened on Friday the 13th. So many will put it down to that day being bad luck, but what would happen if we compared it to other days?</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "open sans" , sans-serif;">I personally do not believe in this superstition. My Nan often celebrates her birthday on Friday 13th and she is very lucky... she has me as a granddaughter :)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lato" , , "helvetica neue light" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif;">The word Clown comes from Low German, and originally described the peasant through uncomplimentary association with the soil that he tilled. ‘Clown’ meant ‘clod, clot, lump’, with more acerbic overtones of ‘clumsy, <i>loutish</i>, lumpish fellow’ and a female ‘hoyden or <i>lusty</i> bouncing girl’. A clown was someone with rude manners, <i>undisciplined physicality</i>, and an inability to control appetites or impulses.</span></div>

supernatural beings or nature spirits, one of the most beautiful and important
of mythological concepts. Belief in fairies is ancient and widespread, and
similar ideas concerning them are found in primitive as well as civilized
societies. Fairies have been celebrated in folklore, stories, songs, and poems</span>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Fairies were often said
to be invisible, usually of smaller stature than humans. It was believed they
could be helpful to humans, but might be dangerous and evil if offended. They
were often considered just mischievous and whimsical in a childlike manner, but
were believed to have magical powers.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">There are scores of
characteristic fairies in the European tradition, but the main types include
the trooping fairies, who are the aristocrats of the fairy world, living in
palaces or dancing and feasting underground; the hobgoblin fairies of a
rougher, workman type; nature spirits of rivers, gardens, and woods; and
deformed monsters, like hags and giants.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

fairyland might equal a lifetime in the human world. Some of the most romantic
and poignant folktales concern mortals who fall in love with a fairy queen and
are transported to the magical world of fairyland where all wishes come true,
but through breaking some taboo or indulging in homesickness for earthly
existence, the mortal is suddenly returned to his world, in which scores of
years have passed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">There are many folklore
stories of fairies assisting humans, mainly in a bucolic setting. Household
fairies were said to assist in everyday tasks like washing dishes, laying the
fire, sweeping the floor, making bread bake properly, and so on but asked to be
treated respectfully and given a cup of milk for their trouble.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

mischievous pranks of a </span><b>poltergeist</b> nature,
pelting mortals with stones, preventing bread from rising, blowing out candles,
knocking pans off shelves, sending gusts of smoke, or annoying horses and
cattle. Often this was deemed a punishment for lack of respectful treatment. In
rural areas, fairies were often referred to in flattering terms as "the
good people" to avoid offending them.<o:p></o:p></div>

superstition, the fairies would sometimes steal a human baby and put a
changeling fairy child in its place, often ugly and bad-tempered. The
changeling might be tricked into a sudden admission of its fairy origin, but
there was also a folk superstition that it should be set on fire for this
purpose. Undoubtedly some temperamental babies were fatally burned because of
this belief, which persisted until some two centuries ago in isolated peasant
districts.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">"Fairy rings"
are small dark green circles in the grass of meadows, fields, or lawns caused
by a certain fungus. These rings were once said to be the dancing places of the
fairies. In Ireland, mound burials were believed to be the haunts of fairies.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u>Phobias</u></h2>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It is said that every single person in the world has at least one phobia. All except those people who suffer from an unusual genetic disorder called Urbach-Wiethe disease, which is where the disease destroys the amygdala part of the brain. This disease causes the sufferers to have no fear of anything.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It is healthy to have a fear of something but a phobia is an irrational fear. I have to say that I have quite a few and not all are in the list below.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For example I have no problem with spiders unless they are huge then I squeal so loudly that only dogs can hear me ;) </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This list is the top ten phobias of 2017. How many of these do you have? Is it wrong that I have 6 of these? lol.</div>

<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">A made a little update on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LaviniaUrbanAuthor" target="_blank">Facebook author page</a> the other day and I thought I would write a little post here for those who have missed it.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">I have had a lot of people wonder why I have not released a book in awhile and for a long time I was keeping it under wraps but then I decided to arrange a charity event and knew that it would eventually get out so I thought 'what the heck?'</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Earlier on in the year I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Not only that, it is metastatic which means that it isn't curable but it is treatable. This means that I can kick it into to remission and fingers, toes, legs, arms, breasts, etc ,and whatever else can be, crossed it doesn't come back.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">So as you can imagine, my head has been elsewhere. I have been trying to write a bit here and there as well as making diary entries for everything that is going.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">For everyone who reads my books and is waiting for another I want to thank you for your patience and I hope that you are understanding.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">I also have a Just Giving page, to help raise money for Breast Cancer Care. All money donated goes straight to the charity. Feel free to donate as little as you can because every penny helps.</span></b></div>

Lape. We were both in our early footings in our careers. A.J. had not long since released her first book in The Darcy Walker series - Grade A Stupid.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">I can't actually remember how we became friends, it was one of those random things where a random conversation led to us becoming friends resulting in me wanting to read her first book. At that time I was hugely into Paranormal books so The Darcy Walker series was something new and different because it is Crime/Mystery/Thriller and besides me reading books in the Thriller genre I had never really read any books that were in the Crime genre. Honestly, I questioned why afterwards. This series should also go in the comedy genre because there are so many times when I couldn't stop laughing. </span></div>

But at the end of the day there is only one Alpha ;) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">The romance aside the main part of the series is all about Darcy who lives with her younger sister and her father. (Over time you get to understand how that came to be.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVLp7q6w09GA-BbiLXkw49qleZA24LNWajx3ILt5nB_uSwAZBqNQ2rqRyAjWxy6BMtKkeZFDfGoSlrUaEYO2dbCTpShYHNKMXfpkMl7nl3R5d0CQS8opCuie9WXAMocOC8885Qrq-gzEM/s1600/coffee+and+doughnuts.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVLp7q6w09GA-BbiLXkw49qleZA24LNWajx3ILt5nB_uSwAZBqNQ2rqRyAjWxy6BMtKkeZFDfGoSlrUaEYO2dbCTpShYHNKMXfpkMl7nl3R5d0CQS8opCuie9WXAMocOC8885Qrq-gzEM/s1600/coffee+and+doughnuts.png" /></a><span style="color: #741b47;">Darcy suffers from ADHD and she tends to act before thinking. She is also a magnet for trouble, trouble mainly resulting in someones death. She is one of those characters who puts everyone elses needs before her own. Over the years she has recruited people into her brotherhood, where of course she is the boss ;) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnalMVF-1j3omlEq5Avd5FeVMu9d0UAVgxpHNUQ0j3MWeGSemGuOaPFrG9SVQtGXjHwCYBFV414Ze_qqWGml4Xn6BTFLSoYx-VCBp8QLFr7ipfWQsd4aDSWTEnnoeNQpkNPGhMt04-O94/s1600/death.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnalMVF-1j3omlEq5Avd5FeVMu9d0UAVgxpHNUQ0j3MWeGSemGuOaPFrG9SVQtGXjHwCYBFV414Ze_qqWGml4Xn6BTFLSoYx-VCBp8QLFr7ipfWQsd4aDSWTEnnoeNQpkNPGhMt04-O94/s1600/death.png" /></a><span style="color: #741b47;">There are a lot of things that most people would hate to witness and probably squeal. Darcy just shrugs it off and wants to know why it happened. She wants to investigate without a care for her own life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #741b47;">Now I have read a lot of books and I have to say that this series has become one my favourites and I can never understand why more people don't know about it. So when A.J. Lape asked me if I fancied re-reading her first book I jumped at the opportunity, but of course I couldn't stop at just the first book. I had to re-read the entire series. I got drawn in all over again, you may have noticed me posting pictures all over my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laviniaurban/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LaviniaUrbanAuthor" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Lavinia_Missb" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/LaviniasUrbanLegends/" target="_blank">Fan Club</a>. I wanted everyone to know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

What's more... the first book is free to download. If you don't own a kindle or e-reader, it doesn't matter, you can download free kindle apps to your phone, tablet, computer and most smart phones. You can even download it to your computer from Smashwords. </span></div>

She studied English, Journalism, and Political Science at Morehead State University and left the business world when her daughters were born. Her love for suspense and a nail-biting story were born from watching Mystery Science Theater with her sister during childhood. That and any B-movie with comedic undertones they could get their hands on.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;">From a small town in rural Kentucky, her sister and she lived in their imaginations on a regular basis, and AJ’s love for the bizarre and paranormal still holds true to this day. She loves roller coasters, scary movies, and haunted houses and the weird sense of accomplishment it gives her when she can make it through without keeling over.</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;">When she’s not riding that razor-thin line between creativity and insanity, she likes to read, watch too much cable TV, or cheer like a banshee at her daughters’ sporting events.

<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;">Interview</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47;">Thank you Ada
for allowing me to interview you and I have to start by saying that I have
known you since your first book was released so not only have I have been able
to follow you on your writing career but I have been able to gain such a
fantastic friend and for that I am truly thankful.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]--><span lang="EN-US" style="color: red; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> 1.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47;">I know that originally you
planned on being a journalist but then Darcy’s story came to you, so I wondered
how the story came about and if journalism is still a dream of yours? </span><span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Right after I graduated college, I got married and moved to
Cincinnati. I thought it would be easy to find a job, but the economy was all
kinds of crap at that time and finding a job that would eventually turn into a
career was a pipedream. Anyway, I think I had close to two hundred rejection
letters at entry-level jobs because I was “over qualified” or they were “looking
for someone with experience” blah, blah, blah. Talk about feeling defeated. I
wound up doing all kinds of jobs. I bounced and hopped around…I did temporary agency
work…I worked in malls…I answered phones…I stuffed envelopes…I took inventory
at department stores. In the middle of all of that, I started to feel very
strange, I found myself staring, I lost periods of time, I slurred my words,
and I couldn’t sleep for more than two hours at a time. After a four-year
battle of a doctor telling me I had anxiety, it was discovered I had epilepsy.
Two weeks on anti-seizure medication and the fog cleared. I remember walking
outside to my car and stopping to stare at the sky. It was so blue that day, so
I called my husband and said, “I forgot what normal looked and felt like.”
During those four years, my self-esteem was so low it could not even be
categorized. It marked me. I didn’t think I was a bad person before, but let’s
just say if I was, then having that happen to me made me acutely aware of the
pain of other people. You feel alone in what’s happening to you. And that is
the worst feeling in the world because a lot of the times people don’t want to
be around others that are suffering. It makes them sad, so then they avoid you,
which is just as painful as the physical suffering. By the time my girls came
along, I feel like God had equipped me especially to handle some of the
challenges they have had. Both girls have tic disorders, but through what
happened to me personally, we’ve all learned to just count our blessings
because someone else may have something even more difficult to deal with.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47;">I love Darcy. Her insecurities
make me want to hug her tight. Is there anyone who inspired the character? As
an outsider we can look at Darcy’s height and hair colour and wonder if you
picked these up from yourself, because you are tall and blonde. Do you relate
to her? </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Oh, heck, yeah, can I relate to her…LOL. I was a
magnet for bad boys…or as Darcy says, “fastards.” And I did have a tendency to
find trouble as my parents can attest to. I think I wrote about a character
that was an overcomer and who might’ve been a little wiser than me at her age.
Someone that no matter what, she kept her eyes on the prize despite the
disappointment that life threw at her. As a parent, you never want your kids to
be afraid. I tell my girls all the time it’s better to live with disappointment
than regret. I hope I’ve inspired them to go for whatever it is that they want
because sometimes a blessing is right around the corner. And biggest thing of
all, I never want them to buy into the hype that they have to look or act a
certain way to be accepted. There is no shame in being different, and they are
beautiful just as they are. I hate it when the world doesn’t celebrate the kids
with square peg minds who don’t fit into society’s round hole</span><span lang="EN-US">. Life’s
too short, you know? Be positive, kind to others, and then you can lay your
head down at night and like yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I wondered who your favourite character is, other than Darcy? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: red;"> </span> I’m obviously very, very partial to Dylan Taylor, but I’ve
developed quite a soft spot for the character, Jaws. That man loves to talk in
my brain…LOL. It’s hard to pick just one because there are things that are
beautifully flawed with all my characters. One I enjoy writing is Murphy,
Darcy’s dad. He’s a man that wears many hats, might have a short fuse, but at
the end of the day would jump in front of a semi for his kids.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

am one of those readers who has always had this love/hate relationship with
him. Half the time I wanted to slap him with the book I was reading. I know a
lot of people love a good Alpha but there were times when he was a bit too
bossy for me. I think when I looked at him I saw the friendships I had with the
opposite sex and half the time I wanted to punch them too, lol. </span><span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">With Dylan, I hope the reader realizes he saw Darcy, before,
during, and after some major trauma. More than anyone, he’s known what all
she’s gone through and what she’s confided in him she’s never given to anyone
else. By nature, he’s very Alpha but his sensitivity always wins out in the
end. In short, she’s his best friend, and he doesn’t want her to get hurt and
will do pretty much anything to keep her from being hurt beyond repair.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="color: #741b47;"><span lang="EN-US">So, The Darcy Walker series, as
we know it, has ended with her High school years and I have to say it has been
an emotional rollercoaster. (I cried at both Defcon Darcy and Foolproof) I
heard a rumour that you are planning on continuing the series but more of a
spin off and instead of it being in a YA it will be more of a NA, can you
confirm or deny this. Of course we want all the juicy details </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span lang="EN-US"> <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Yes!! I can’t let these people ride off into the sunset quite
yet. I took the summer off and had to wrap my head around Darcy in a new
setting with big people problems. I’ve done a lot of research into her chosen
career and am currently working on the next book as we speak. <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Yes, I might release a few novellas before Darcy’s first book
as an adult. There are a few characters I want to explore a little bit further
before I just go back into Darcy’s point of view.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47;">What is a typical day like for
you? I know you are married with two beautiful daughters and I wondered what
does A.J. Lape get up to. Do you work whilst everyone is out of the house? Do
you burn the midnight oil? Do you run around chasing your family to
appointments and work on the go? </span><span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Yes, I’m constantly doing the mom thing…taking the girls
places, etcetera, so I work while everyone goes to school. That being said, I
soooooooo burn the midnight oil too. Sometimes my best stuff comes at night and
I grab my phone or a notepad if my computer isn’t up and jot down a scene
before it leaves me.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47;">You mentioned earlier that you suffer from Epilepsy, and I wondered how this affects you and your
writing because I know there has been some tough scenes, especially in Defcon
Darcy (Chapters 20 & 21) where I cried like a baby so I know it must be
draining for you. </span><span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">When my stress level is high, I know immediately if I need to
take a step back and calm my body down. I’ve dealt with this for over twenty
years so I recognize the feeling. That being said, it did not bother me in
writing the tougher scenes because I find writing very “freeing.” So those
chapters didn’t give me that particular feeling, but they did, however, affect
me deeply. I would sit at my computer and bawl like a baby that my characters
said and did certain things. In the Darcy Walker Series, I gradually revealed
why Darcy lived her life as the verb that she is—and the lid came off the box,
so to say, in DEFCON Darcy. I think one of the reasons I revealed everything in
book four was because I didn’t want to confront those scenes myself. I always
knew who she was and why she was that way, but writing it down in DEFCON Darcy
was literally like having your teeth punched out. It was gut wrenching, but as
usual, Darcy is a survivor above anything.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47;">What do you see for the future
of Darcy Walker? I had a dream where her and Dylan were married and she was
still up to her old tricks. She was even pregnant and Dylan was extremely
over-protective because of Darcy and her moments of getting into mischief, but
then they had their baby and it was a little girl and they called her Gemma. I
woke up with tears streaming down my face thinking how wonderful that was.
(Yeah, feel free to steal that idea, lol) </span><span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Oh, that’s so sweet, and I’m sure Dylan would love that!!! In
this new series, Darcy is going to have big people problems in the big people
world. Everything she thought she knew about fighting crime her own way is
going to get more complex as she gets older and is forced to play by the rules.
It’s going to be new for her and her relationships are going to evolve too. I
can’t wait for readers to be able to see what I have planned for her!<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47;">Let’s think of life after
Darcy. I am hoping that day will never come but we have to be realistic in that

done? </span><span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The naughtiest thing was probably drag racing around the
track at school with several other cars. It was a dirt track…so dumb…and when
the “dirt fog” cleared, the principal was at the top of the hill, staring down
with disdain. There really wasn’t a way I could lie out of that one when he saw
me get out of the car. I literally just raised my hand and fessed up. I got two
weeks detention for that. Unfortunately, I’m not sure it was embarrassing
enough.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Being able to write with a constant flow of Coke, Netflix
streaming in the background, with zero interruptions. Then maybe sitting at the
beach talking to my sister about life and the mysteries of the universe. All of
that would be pure heaven.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
