Inside Outcast

by Shannon Phoenix

Jasper has been on the run for years. Exiled from Inner Earth for killing to save the King, he has finally found something worth staying for, and he stays too long. With grit and determination, he fought his way to the top, one of the elite few who was allowed to protect the King, despite all odds against him. Only around Kat has he found something that brings him a personal rather than professional sense of joy.Painfully shy, Kat has been infatuated with Jasper since she's known him. He's way out of her league, though, so she simply works and dreams of him. She lacks the confidence to so much as speak to him, much less approach him. Once they are thrown together, she learns that he has a depth she never imagined possible.When fire erupts in their apartment building, Jasper saves her. As a result, Kat becomes embroiled in the danger and the scandal that won't let Jasper go. The terrifying net set to capture him expands and then contracts with devastating consequences for Kat and those around her. In the end, Kat must find the courage to face a confrontation that may cost Jasper his life.

About the author

Shannon Phoenix always wrote stories. She watched the characters take on their lives within her mind, and began to write down what they were doing. She would write the stories and then let them go. But a few years ago, she got caught writing those stories. You know... those stories.

To her surprise, the person who found her stories loved her characters as much as Shannon did. She tentatively allowed others to read the stories, as well, and it was from that first foray into the scary world of letting others read her 'little tales' that Shannon Phoenix Books was born.

Shannon lives in New Hampshire with her husband John, her daughter, and their family cat, Song. Her full time job is parenting, her part time job is as a mother's helper to a family friend, and her passion is letting the characters in her mind out on paper--or keyboard, as the case may be.

Welcome to Shannon Phoenix Books. May you find the magic in your own life.
