The Propheticus Blog Tour!!





Blurb:
This is a self published, sci-fi fantasy book set in an ancient universe. Four destined characters run into each other by chance and discover their pasts connect them in a prophecy to destroy some of the universes most gruesome creatures. The mystery of Aniah's past begins to unravel when she meets a stranger in the desert outside her ranch on the planet Delucia. Strange things start to happen around the ranch and Aniah experiences horrible nightmares of a dark creature the longer this stranger stays and the more she begins to question her fathers disappearance years ago. This story takes you to other worlds and although the first novel offers a little more romance and mystery with some thriller, the other novels in the series have more action and adventure in them as the characters travel the universe and visit incredible worlds. Sample from the book: There is something frightening about the way a hateful, unknown creature looks back at you. The way its beady red eyes snarl at you, and it's cheek curls with a hiss to reveal the greedy canines beneath. It is one thing to dream of this beastly creature, and it is another to have it inches from your face, its warm ungodly breath on your cheek, and its pallid gray bones reaching to devour you. My name is Aniah, and once my world was safe. But like many others throughout the universe-and here on the planet Delucia-fate would have me meet with the Mangitori de Sangue; an ancient army of blood-lusting creatures who have been frightening and devouring the inhabitants of the universe for decades. My fate brings me deep into their world. In fact, it is written somewhere-and the stories have been told long before I was ever born-of a prophecy wherein a young woman with the heart and soul of an angel will lead the universe in a victory against the Mangitori de Sangue. I am that woman. I just have to stay alive long enough to figure out how.

Teaser:

Her name was Dyna.” His eyes cleared as he stared off achingly into the distance of the room. This was the first time I had ever heard Novell refer to anyone by name. He had gotten to know her well and he became quite fond of her. I found that this fondness made me not favor her as he continued his story.

He described her short golden hair again and seemed stuck on how it looked in the moonlight, and her deep blue eyes that stayed alarmingly intense with apprehension. They took long walks in the moonlight as they talked about their travels. Dyna had been all over the universe, and told him unbelievable stories about all the places she had visited but expressed to Novell that she wished to stay settled on the planet Delucia.  I was frozen with disbelief. First, that someone had been to all those places that she talked of, and second, the way that Novell began to speak of her. It made it hard to breathe and I felt as if tears might begin to fall right in front of him and there would be no way to stop them. But he continued and the tears did not fall; they hung solemnly in my heart instead. Novell already had someone special and this was her, I was certain.
About the Author:
At only the age of three, you could find Emma perched in the center of the dining table, a tape player in her lap, while the other kids gathered to listen to her recite her own creative version of her favorite tales like "Jack and The Bean Stalk" or "Peter Pan". Her imagination was fueled when she signed up for a high school Greek Mythology class. It was there in high school Mythology class that Emma found her dream. Her teacher recognized her talent, and encouraged her to pursue a career in the one thing that brought her imagination to life, writing. As a military wife and with life's fast pace and strenuous demands, it wasn't until she was 26 that she finally decided to pursue those long forgotten dreams. She started her very first novel Propheticus in November of 2008, which will be released in December of 2010 and is working on the 2nd and 3rd sequels, with several other book ideas on the shelf waiting to be dusted off and put into words.
