Embody

by Jan Tilley, Brooke Tilley (Photographer), Sara Tilley (Photographer)

Goosebumps appear on the flesh. Is this a natural occurrence or the body’s attempt to warn us of impending danger? There are some people who spend their entire lives feeling like they don’t belong; they just don’t fit in with modern society. Outcasts, misfits, call them what you may, but in reality they are the gifted ones. Notlad has been sent here from his home planet NeVaeh on a mission to comprehend everything there is to know about “the fleshlings.” Humans are very complex creatures, but even with their contradictions and flaws, they have something very special that the NeVaehans desire… flesh. Fleshlings make the perfect hosts. They don’t even realize that foreign energies are all around, lurking in the shadows, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to embody and fuse with their own energy source and become one.Why are the NeVaehans here and what do they want? The truth will leave you looking over your shoulder long after the story ends. The end is just the beginning. We are not alone…

About the author

Jan Tilley was born and raised in northern Ohio. Enticed by the Atlantic Ocean, she later moved to Wilmington, North Carolina and now resides in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

She has held a wide array of jobs throughout the years, including newspaper reporter, veterinary assistant, and Public Information Officer for Emergency Management. But, her most important job has been raising her two daughters. She has been married to her high school sweetheart since 1985.

Jan wrote her first novel "Coming About" after her oldest daughter went off to college. She began writing about her feelings over the loss of her child to the big bad world. It began as a purging of emotions but as they always do, the characters came alive and took the story down a totally different path that she never expected.

She was then bitten by the bug and is now admittedly obsessed with writing. Her second novel "Embody" was released to rave reviews. She was recently featured on The Kevin Smith Show where she discussed the book in a live two-hour interview.

"Rogue's Hollow" was her next release which is a suspenseful ride, fictionally based on a spooky town near where she grew up.

Next came "Jasper's Gift", which is the highly anticipated sequel to her first novel. Tilley loved revisiting her pals, Sadie and Rachel. She said it was like going home to visit old friends again.

Tilley is an award-winning author who has been a guest speaker at multiple conferences and events. Her books have been sold world-wide and she is more than happy to accommodate interviews.

She will continue to write her heart out and do her best to entertain you for as long as you'll welcome her into your lives! If you would like to contact Jan you can reach her on twitter @tilleytalk or at Jan Tilley & Friends on Facebook.

Reviews

[Heather Mahley · Rating 4 out of 5]

really enjoyed this book. it was very unique. a book about an alien invasion only from the perspective of the ones doing the invading. loved it.

[Gene Arthur Molloy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was not a bad book, but then again it was not a great book. It would have benefited greatly from a better Editor.
In the beginning I was amused in a silly sort of way. I could see this being written by a Cone Head in an old Saturday Night Live skit.
Once I got past that I started really enjoying the book.
My biggest problem with this book is that once I got to the end it seemed like it was left unfinished. It seemed like just a big build up to the real story.

I thought this was pretty boring.

This was one of those books that was just the right length to be read in a day or two. I read it upon recommendation of my husband, who read it earlier this year. I would best categorize this book as science fiction, a genre that I loathe to read, excep
