Day 6 - Meet Erika
Hello Goodreads folks!
For the ten days leading up to my February 1 release of TAERYN: THE AWAKENING, I will be sharing info about the characters, some trivia, and even a few surprises.
Countdown Day 6 - #MeetErika
Excerpt:
"What happened?" Erika asked.
"It's a long story," Taeryn began. "It concerns Kat and Tristan, but I have permission to tell you if you want to hear it."
Erika's eyes got big as she leaned forward. "Are you and Tristan empathic?" she broke in before Taeryn could even begin.
Taeryn laughed. "Wow, that was quick. Why don't you tell me the story?"
"I'm so sorry Taeryn, I've been dying to ask you about it, but I didn't know how to bring it up without sounding like a stalker or like I'm crazy, which I might be but that's besides the point." She stopped to catch her breath. Her enthusiasm was infectious.
"What makes you think Tristan and I are empathic?" Taeryn asked.
"I can see auras, just like my mother and grandmother could. I noticed you right away because you have the most beautiful aura I've ever seen. It's like crystal prisms."
"Yes, Tristan and I are empathic. There's a lot more to the story though."
"You mean how Kat is telepathic? How did you find out? Is it just with you and Tristan, or can she read anybody's mind? Wow, I hope I haven't thought anything mean about her when she was listening."
"Yes, Kat can read people's thoughts. Doesn't it bother you, don't you feel... invaded?"
Erika reflected. "Not knowing about it doesn't change the fact of it. I guess I'd rather know than not know. You know?" she grinned.
❤️
This story is a different kind of SciFi-Romance. Steamy, yes, but it's also deeply emotional and deals with serious topics. Plus empathy & telepathy, transcending human potential, and of course an invasion by cruel aliens. All taking place on an exotic movie set!

Day 7 - Meet Richard
Hello Goodreads folks!
For the ten days leading up to my February 1 release of TAERYN: THE AWAKENING, I will be sharing info about the characters, some trivia, and even a few surprises.
Countdown Day 7 - #MeetRichard
Excerpt:
"You're obviously a well-trained medic, Richard. I'm sorry they turned you into my babysitter."
"Are you kidding, Taeryn? When Tristan called, saying he needed my help, I came back to life. My training kicked in, and I was ready to go. It woke me from my self-imposed stupor. Being needed, the rescue. But then I found out it was you and saw what bad shape you were in, and it crushed me."
"You saved me, Richard, you were amazing. Why did you leave the fire department to become a studio paramedic?"
"I grew up knowing I wanted to be a firefighter," Richard explained, "and when I finally made that dream happen, I decided to specialize as a paramedic. I loved the work, even though it was often heartbreaking. Helping people who needed it drove me; every time I saved a life, it helped keep me going through the times I couldn't.
"There was one family I visited regularly; they had a little boy named Zach who had a progressive and debilitating illness. After he died, I lost my calling. I couldn't focus on the job and decided to call it quits."
He gave a sarcastic smile. "And that's how I came to be here, tending paper cuts and broken fingernails.”

Day 8 - Meet Kat
Hello Goodreads folks!
For the ten days leading up to my February 1 release of TAERYN: THE AWAKENING, I will be sharing info about the characters, some trivia, and even a few surprises.
Countdown Day 8 - Meet Kat
Excerpt:
Director Kat Russo stopped mid-sentence and turned her head as Taeryn and Tristan walked into the soundstage. They were two hours late coming back from lunch, but if Tristan was right, it was well worth the time.
She fought her impulse to listen, since Taeryn had asked her not to, but it was hard. She'd done it her whole life, reading people was second nature to her. But she would try to restrain herself, at least for now.
Despite her pride in being a woman of steel, someone who kept her emotions to herself, Kat felt vulnerable around this young woman. Her heart palpitated wildly as she looked at
Taeryn, and at the most beautiful aura she had ever seen.
Tristan thought it was just infatuation, but this wasn't like being attracted to someone's looks. Rather than being skin deep, an aura originated at the core, giving those able to see it a view of the soul. And Taeryn's aura exuded strength, purity, and love like she'd never seen before.
It had always just been her and Tristan. Now Taeryn knew about them. Well, at least about their gifts. They had never shared that with anyone on Earth. And they had never been interested in the same woman.
Kat sighed. How could she compete with Tristan's charisma, and with their crazy empathic connection? Besides, Taeryn didn't seem to be interested in girls.
Her instincts took over, and she entered Taeryn's mind. Taeryn was still trying to process the knowledge that she and Tristan were empathic, and that Kat was telepathic. She watched Taeryn pull up her shield.
Boy, will she be pissed when she learns that it doesn't block telepathy.
*****
If you find this interesting, the ARC is available for FREE until January 31 at bit.ly/sgminaeBS-ARC. Honest reviews are requested during the first week of February on Goodreads and Amazon.
This story is a steamy, emotional SciFi-Paranormal Romance. It contains M/F sex-on-page, F/F relationships, and some very serious topics as the characters go through life-altering events, as we all do. There are also deep friendships, an epic love story, and transcending human potential. If you love stories so deep you feel like you're experiencing life along with the characters, then please give it a try.

Day 9 - Meet Tristan
Hello Goodreads folks!
For the ten days leading up to my February 1 release of TAERYN: THE AWAKENING, I will be sharing info about the characters, some trivia, and even a few surprises.
Countdown Day 9 - Meet Tristan
Excerpt:
It seemed like he kept trying not to hurt people, but in the end he always did. Tristan sighed, blinking away tears. Now Taeryn didn't trust either of them.
Damn it!
This pain, it was exactly why he had only focused on lust for so long. He couldn't take it. She opened up the window to his emotions and then Wham! everything came flooding in.
The door knocked and then opened as Taeryn entered without waiting for a reply. Her eyes were as puffy as his felt. He stood to face her as she opened her shield and invited him to do the same. He was hesitant, but when he did, he knew without a doubt that their love was true. But how could she trust him? How would they get through this?
He took her hand and led her to the sofa. They communicated wordlessly, their energy merging, testing the waters. Just joining with her this way calmed his soul. It wasn't until that moment that he realized just how much a part of him she had become. He felt her love for him, but also her fear that he would continue to hurt her, despite not meaning to do so.
Kat's preferred method of communication had always been telepathy, speaking her thoughts in his head, reading the people around her. Taeryn seemed to prefer to share her emotions, to show him how she felt rather than tell him. He saw her affection for him, her disappointment in how they'd both responded to recent events. She cherished their bond as much as he did.

Day 10 - Meet Taeryn
Hello Goodreads folks!
For the ten days leading up to my February 1 release of TAERYN: THE AWAKENING, I will be sharing info about the characters, some trivia, and even a few surprises.
Countdown Day 10 - Meet Taeryn
Excerpt:
Taeryn Vega didn't become an actress for the fame and fortune, or for the glamor. It was therapeutic to get inside the heads of her characters, to delve into their psyches and figure out what made them tick. Acting meant she could be anybody but herself. When she was in character, she could forget she was a freak.
The therapists didn’t call her that, but other people did. Normal people didn’t have visions, if that’s even what it was. That single event brought her world crashing down. But it also led to this moment.
She looked up at the door of the soundstage, her insides squirming with nerves. Besides the excitement of being on a movie set, the leading actor would be none other than Tristan Kando. How many nights had she fallen asleep looking at his poster on her wall? She kept reminding herself to be professional. He was just another person, her coworker. But he had an electrifying charisma, and when he looked into the camera with those dimples and brilliant green eyes, it felt as if he was reading her soul.
It was too bad he had a reputation for being a womanizing jerk.
She pressed her shoulders back, inhaled to her lungs' capacity, and stepped inside the soundstage.
