Last week, Scott visited the Grove to share about about himself and his writing process.
Today, we want to give you a taste of what you can expect and invite you to the online Facebook Release Party. There will be guest authors, trivia games and GIVEAWAYS.
In the meantime, here is a taste of Awakening, a world in which Angels are real and they are fighting for control over the human race.
Elena's face felt cold as the blood drained from it. She
had not seen the woman's mouth move while she spoke. She sobered almost
instantly, the hackles on her neck rising as she stared at the woman's cold
smile. She recognized the voice in a moment of lucidity as the one she had
heard at the airport, their tail, their stalker—one of the Opposition.
My mistress was
right, the woman's voice continued. She
told me it would be a matter of time before one of you two slipped up. The
amazing thing is you both slipped up at the same time. The woman turned to
Elena.
The woman stood nearly a whole foot shorter than
Elena and appeared much more fragile. Elena tried to gauge whether or not she
would be able to handle this woman on her own. She knew from experience Daimon
men were quite powerful, but never expected such strength from females.
Let me clue you
in on some secrets. First, Daimon men cannot handle their liquor. In fact, all
Daimones are very quickly undone by alcohol. The woman eyed Elena up and
down before saying, Second, you could
never take me on. To illustrate her point, the small woman gripped the
countertop and crushed a small section of it into powder.
"What do you want from me?" Elena asked.
The choice is
simple, the woman replied mentally. Either
come with me to see my mistress. Or...
"Or?" Elena asked, realizing she would
regret this decision.
Or you and your
companion die, the woman replied. A placid and sickly happy smile spread
across her face as she said it.
The woman's evident pleasure at making such a dire
threat sent a chill down Elena's spine. She conjured up the most severe feeling
of pain she could imagine and directed it right at the Daimon woman as she had
done to the other Daimon in Canada. However, instead of the anticipated effect
of crippling pain she had seen in the Daimon man, the woman's eyes flashed, and
then she laughed.
Silly girl,
the woman said to her mentally. I am no
mere weakling. Your foolish mind games have no effect on me.
Alec...I need
your help! Elena cried out, hoping beyond hope he would hear and come to
her aid.
The woman started laughing even louder. A terrifying
grin crossed her face. He can't hear you.
Alcohol impairs Daimon abilities. And Alec has had a few too many. I guess I
shouldn't have bought him so many rounds!
Elena didn't wait for the woman to move. Filled with
blind rage over being trapped by this woman, she pressed her attack. If her
death was on the menu, then she would take this woman with her as dessert.
