About the author

April M. Reign was born and raised in Southern California by her happily married parents. She is the oldest of three daughters and considers both of her sisters to be her best friends.

Growing up, she was involved in many sports: softball, surfing, tennis, and Kenpo karate. Many weekends at the beach with her family included her father packing up the long boards and teaching all three daughters how to ride a wave. The activity that stands out the most for her is the thirteen years that she spent studying karate with her family. The family’s karate days remain as some of her fondest memories.

Sports weren’t the only activities that she enjoyed. She played the accordion for twelve years and even played for Jerry Lewis kids fundraisers. During those years, she learned how to read and write music.

Besides writing music, during her high school years, she also discovered her passion for writing words. At fifteen, she began writing poetry. By the time she reached the age of twenty, she was writing short stories, with no other intention than to get the stories from her mind to paper.

At twenty-one years old, she married and shortly after, two handsome sons graced her life. When her marriage ended, she faced the long, difficult path of raising her two boys into strong, well-mannered young men. She took on the task with fervor.

In order to support her children, she worked as a litigation analyst for ten years at a large company and began to pursue a career in law. After long hours in college and even more hours at the law library, while still raising her children alone, she realized that practicing law was not the dream that she wanted to live. She spent the next eleven years as a U.S. Customs Broker, working directly with the FDA and FWS, clearing international shipments into the country.

While she worked full time and raised two adolescent boys, she also decided to follow her dream to write a book. A year later, Enticing the Moon was published. Since then, she has written six more novels and several short stories, and has entered many writing contests, winning first place on several occasions.

As an indie author, April M. Reign writes and publishes her own books. With the increase in her book sales, she was able to give up her job in the corporate world and pursue her dream of writing stories which she hopes capture the attention and intrigue of her readers.

Readers can find April M. Reign’s eBooks on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and more online retailers. The books are also available in print at Lulu.com.

I didn't know what to expect when I chose to read this title, but was not disappointed. The book captivated my interest from the start and I didn't stop reading to the very emotionally charged ending.

Having been stuck on the Paranormal - Urban Fantasy genre for the last year, this was a refreshing read. It has mystery, suspense, love and drama.

I don't like giving the story away, So I'll say this, there is a paranormal event in this story - rather a Karmic justice if you will, as well as, a story about second chances.

There are some very deeply touching moments - so you may wanna have some tissue available, especially towards the end.

This was an okay book. The basic conflict was actually pretty interesting....a woman gets into a car accident and wakes in another woman's body while hers lay in a coma. I thought it was pretty poorly written, though. I think this may be a new/young writer?????? Was I glad I read it? For $.99 on my Kindle, yes. Was it worth more than that? No.

This book started off great. The twists and turns were interesting, but then it all fell apart at the end. It seemed like the ending was rushed to a conclusion of happily ever after without any real explanation of how they got there. It was just wrapped up a little bit too tightly in a fancy ending bow.

New author for me. Unusual story.

[Lisa Swanepoel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is not the normal with a freaky friday slant. It was interesting to read from Destiny's perspective. A nice easy read.

[Judy B. Burford]

Interesting concept used here. Destiny Parks is still looking for her father's killer. The case has been cold for years.
