Silk Road

Seals of Destiny, Book 1

Urban Fantasy, Parnormal

June 2012



The first Descendant in millennia with the power to use an ancient artifact is being hunted. By the good, the bad...and the worst.

Jayla Protegenu learned as a child to call her protectors to keep at bay the things that prowled the night. Now, as a woman grown, she never expected one of those protectors would be a Fallen angel named Larien. His job: to help Jayla find the mythical and mystical Seal of Solomon.

Even among those who created the very meaning of good and evil, nothing is black and white. Neither friends nor enemies are what they appear.

The only one Jayla can be sure of is Larien. He was sent by the Messenger and archangel, Gabriel, himself. He's a man who had no interest in redemption. But like everyone else, Larien does want her.

Ali: Is there an author that makes you go all “fangirl?”

T. J.: Angela Knight. I totally lost my cookies when I spotted her in an elevator at the last RT. She was so gracious and didn't even laugh at me when I yelled into the phone (I was talking on the phone at the time), "Oh my god, IT'S ANGELA KNIGHT!! OMG, she's in the elevator with me! Holy hell! Hi Ms. Knight, how are you?" *faint*

Ali: If you could co-write with another author who would it be and why?

T.J.: I would totally love to write a book with Lauren Dane, 'cause she's just been so cool since I met her years ago. Her characters and worlds are unique and I've learned alot from her over the years. I'd also love to write with R.G. Alexander/Rachel Grace for many of the same reasons. I haven't known Rachel for as long, but she's an awesome person and one of the most gifted writers I know.

Ali: What are you looking forward to most about AADNola?

T. J.: ZART pub crawl/party! Woooo!

Ali: The world is under attack and you are forced to run for your life. You only have room for one book in your survival kit, what book do you take?

T.J.: The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead

Ali: Are there any of your secondary characters you would like to give more life to?

T.J.: Actually yes. The James brothers in Jaguar's Rule deserve some attention. They are fully human hotties that helped their brother, Aaron, save our shifter heroine, Reya, from a really bad guy. I've plotted out a book for the two older James boys where they get to meet up with twin African lioness shifters from Spirit of the Pryde.

Ali: If you friends were asked to describe you in one word what would it be?

T. J.: Firecracker...though I'm not sure why *wink*

*Favorite color: Royal purple

*Favorite food: Crab!!

*Boots or heels: Heeled boots *cheese*

*eReader or Print: eReader

*Beer, Liquor or Wine: Wine. Port, actually.

*Favorite place to get it on besides the bedroom: Get it on? What's that? Not sure I remember how... ;D

*Favorite TV Show: Nothing, really

*Favorite Book series (besides your own): That's hard. Right now, I'm hooked on Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series.

*Pj’s or Lingerie: PJs

*Vampires vs. Shifters: Can I have one of each?
