Leanne's Halloween Bash!

 Today I'm sharing an excerpt from my novella The Gift. As a part of The Books Read ~n~ Makeup Blog Halloween Bash, I thought I would share an inside look into the main character's fear. I'll be giving away a free ebook copy of my novella in conjunction with the bash, so don't forget to stop by and check it out! Here: http://www.booksnmakeup.com/
 Happy Halloween weekend!


My reflection mocked my fear with its presence. Smoothing my long hair away from my face, I turned on the water, brushed my teeth and washed my face. A bright glint flashed in the mirror and I looked down to see the winged locket fall out of my black T-shirt. The silver shone with an inner light, and I had an overwhelming need to open it. It‟s funny how I hadn‟t thought to open it after I‟d unwrapped it.
The locket felt warm in my hands, as if pulsing with heat and light. Prying the wings open, a brilliant flash of light burst forth and I felt myself falling. Whispers and light consumed me. They were telling me something. All of them saying the same thing, but I couldn‟t understand. The sensation of falling combined with the whispers grew and I pulled myself in a tight ball. The urgent whispers continued, and suddenly, it all became too much to bear. Darkness closed in on me and even though I knew it was just my brain compensating, I screamed in terror.
“No! Don‟t let it eat me! No, daddy, please! It‟s coming for me!”
Tumbling into darkness, I could only let go and fall into the abyss. Memories flood my senses as old nightmares of the darkness taunting me resurface.

Welcome to My Release Party!!

 Wow...I can't believe today's the day!! Today my novella The Gift is out and availablefor purchase!! I really hope you all love Seri as much as I do. The idea came to mind aftermy amazing husband gave be this gorgeous locket for our fifteenth wedding anniversary.It's sterling silver wings formed a beautiful heart shaped locket. It struck me as very unusual and possessed a warm vitality. I had to write a story about it. But what kind of story can you write about a piece of jewelry? You need flesh and blood characters....not like a necklace can tell a story. Ya know? I needed someone special to give this gift to...someone who needed it like I did. Seri was the perfect choice.
To celebrate the release, I want to give one lucky commenter a free copy of my book!! So feel free to jump in and make comments...ask questions...whatever you like! As a treat there's a chocolate fountain with various fruits and cakes. I also have plenty of Starbucks coffee and hunky guardian angels to serve a delicious punch I stayed up late mixing up!! Watch the wings ladies....those angels sometimes don't realize their own wingspan!!

Book review of MISFIT

Misfit by Jon Skovron


Jael is a sixteen year old girl going through some mega changes. Growing up with a demon hunter ex-priest for a father can be difficult, but learning you inherited strange powers from your dead demon mother takes the cake. If that's not enough, through in the strict Catholic school with an exorcist for a history teacher and you have an adventure no one should miss.

Jael is a wonderfully funny, unique teen with all the emotional issues every teenage girl goes through and I enjoyed reading about her battle against the Duke of Hell that murdered her mother. She's feisty, strong, and she corrupts your heart with her caring demonic powers.

Jael's dad and Uncle Dagon...and yes that DAGON, the demon God, help Jael learn to use the gifts she was born to in order to survive. It's refreshing to see the familial bonds flourish during this heart warming story. Jael also has a love interest and a best friend who come in to own their roles in this wonderful story and make you love them just as much as I know you will love Jael.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me want to be in the book with this character, helping her conquer those demons. I can't wait for a sequel!! http://jonskovron.com/misfit
