Guest Post: Adrienne Woods and her book Firebolt

What does 2014 hold for You as an Author?

I have a couple of challenges as an author in 2014.
I really want to publish the second, Thunderstruck, and third, Frost Bite, of the Dragonian series. I’m really looking forward to what people are going to think about this series. Those very close to me that know how it ends can’t wait. They absolutely love this series and I do hope that the readers out there are going to like it as well.
I also would like to publish my first book of the Zodiac Series, called Blaze. It’s a paranormal New Adult fiction about Aswang’s (half vampire – half werewolf.) The first book is about a monster of a vampire, called Blaze. How she became a vampire and her struggles to how her entire demeanor changed after she became one. Her reason behind it does remain a mystery but other books will have more of her in it, that will explain these mysteries. It also ends with a war between vampires and werewolves and half breeds are caught in between.
I also would like to publish my first Woman’s fiction called The Ebb Tide. It’s part of the Pregnancy Diaries. They are love stories that have a pregnancy twist in all of them. The first part of this novel is a two part series. Starting with Holly and how she met the man of her dreams, Jake. She becomes pregnant while Jake is still studying to become a doctor, and he ends up leaving her while she deals with a very difficult pregnancy that almost costs her life and the lives of her babies. The second part carries on four years later.
Then I have a Mythology Series called The Watercress which I’m planning to release 2015. It’s about Triton, the sea god’s son and king of the mer – people. The first one takes place on board a cruise line, where Morgan finds herself falling for the mysterious Jason.
So with four books coming out in 2014 and more books in 2015, I do wonder where I’m going to find time to breathe. Hehe.
However I do have to say, everything works out the way that it should and if I’m not going to reach this goal, I will just move on and publish them as I can.
I just want to thank all the readers that are hopefully going to become fans, and thanks for joining me on this journey, who knows where it’s going to end.

Kind wishes,
Adrienne Woods.

FIREBOLT by Adrienne Woods

I was born and raised in South Africa, where I still live with my husband, and two beautiful little girls. I always knew that I was going to be a writer but it only started to happen about four years ago, now I can’t stop writing.

In my free time, If I get any because Moms don’t really have free time, I love to spend time with friends, if it’s a girls night out, or just a movie, I’m a very chilled person.

My writing career is starting with Firebolt, book one with the Dragonian Series, there will be four books in total and two to three books that is about the stories taking place inside The Dragonian Series.

I do write in different Genres, I have a woman’s fiction called the Pregnancy Diaries, but it would be published under another name. And then I have a paranormal series, called the Watercress series. There are about ten novels in that one.

I hope you are going to embrace the Dragonian Series as much as I loved writing them.

Dragons. Right. Teenage girls don't believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year-old Elena Watkins was no different.
Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.
Now Elena is in a new world, and a new school. The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a prince wants Elena's heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh and the only way Elena's going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own.
Teenage girls don't believe in fairy tales. Now it's time for Elena to believe in...herself.


For the love of blueberries, Elena Watkins was destined for greatness, even though she didn’t know it. Forced to travel from home to home every three months Elena’s life was a never ending blur of new towns and new faces, that is, until the night her father was killed by a creature she thought only existed in fairy tales – a dragon. With her father’s death leaving her orphaned, Elena is whisked away to her true birthplace, Paegeia.
Arriving at Dragonia Academy, the premier school for young Dragonians, she begins to feel a sense of belonging in this strange world; a school she was never meant to attend because her father was a dragon. Elena is soon swept up in the rigor of her new life and the new set of skills she now needs to survive: Latin, Art of War, and Enchantments.
Entranced by her new reality Elena learns about the dragons and humans who inhabit her new home. There are two classes of dragons that soar through Paegeia distinguished by their instinctual pretense for either good or darkness. The distinction between these two very different species is vital to Elena’s success in her new world because she has been marked as a Dragonian, a human preordained to ride and tame a dragon of her very own.
With the help of her new friends, Elena is able to navigate the complexities of her new home. Her new roommates Becky and Sammy are even more amazing then she could have ever imaged and to top it all off, Sammy was a dragon. Sammy’s is also the devoted sister of Blake, the most attractive boy at school and the Rubicon; the only dragon of his kind with the abilities of all the dragon species with a pretense for evil. Elena soon finds the love she always wanted with Lucian, the Prince of Tith, who actively pursues Elena throughout her time at Dragonia Academy, winning her heart with his absolute adoration and unshaken dedication.
 Unbeknownst to Elena danger is lurking behind the enchanted vines concealing the once thriving capital of Paegeia – Etan. Goran, the darkest sorcerer to ever practice his evil arts in the realm, has lain dormant for over a century behind the crumbling city. The first step in his menacing plan is to destroy the only weapon that can kill him – the King of Lion Sword.
When the sword is stolen Elena doesn’t think twice about seeking it; knowing deep down that it is her destiny to save her new home. She travels to the Sacred Cavern, and discovers the nefarious actions of an unknown man lead to the swords destruction as she follows the trail revealed in the prophetic waters of the cavern.
Elena and her friends engage the mysterious man revealing their existence to Goran and fighting for their very lives.

The Hanging Tree by Michael Phillip Cash

     In Oyster Bay there is a huge old tree known as the hanging tree.  Many haunted this old tree and welcomed new people when they came to the other side.  From 1649 to 2013 strange occurrences happened near this tree.  Some say it's bewitched. Some say it's just a legend. You decide.

     Eerie, mind blowing and terrific, this book is one to read! It's written in such a style you'll learn all about the tree and it's "family".  I found each story to be sad and tragic, but couldn't understand why these people were treated as badly as they were.  Mr. Cash pulls you in and keeps you right in your seat until you are finished.

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it's a perfect spooky read. 

How I Taught My Kids To Improve Their Memory & Remember Everything In Less Than One Hour! By Justin Kregger

     When was the last time you forgot some important information? Using a simple, single technique, Mr. Kregger has helped his children to remember everything. It's an easy to use technique and you'll wonder why you didn't think of it. Terrific guide to helping improve your memory.

    Mr. Kregger makes this so simple anyone can do it. Using a GPS like technique you can begin to remember everything.  Mr. Kregger writes in a simple, easy to uynderstand style and you can begin the minute you open this book. I found it wonderful help for my failing memory. I know you readers will know someone who could benefit from this book.

    I found no issues.

    I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it works!! 

A Witch's Aura by Devon Volkel

     Shayde was celebrating her sixteenth birthday.  It was to be a day of surprises and celebration! Shayde had no idea though, how turning sixteen would change her life forever.  While having lunch with her best friend, she meets Kruise Wright. He's the hottest guy in school and he's just invited them for a weekend away.  Kruise is over the moon when he finds out Shayde has a crush on him. He's wanted to go out with her for a long time. Now was his chance.  Will the two of them be ready for the life changing events that follow?

     Terrific! This book is extremely well written and the characters seem like old friends.  I enjoyed the first love, first kiss and friends aspects but I enjoyed the family secret even more.  You'll zip through this book because it's such an easy read.  It will take you back to your first love and first kiss. Well done Devon Volkel! 

     I found no issues.

     I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it really captures your attention from page one.

If I Told You So by Timothy Woodward

   Sean is a sixteen year old boy who seems to have it all.  A loving, if overprotective Mother, a popular girlfriend and a job. What more could a teen want? While working at the local ice cream shop, Sean discovers he doesn't quite have life figured out yet. His feelings are growing stronger for someone new and he isn't sure how to navigate this new world.  He's not sure who to trust and how much of himself to share.  In time though, his decisions lead him to the happiest place he's been in awhile.

     Fantastic! Smashing! A wonderfully, well written book with characters who leap off the pages.  I applaud this author for his excellent work in showing how one teen deals with the uncertainties of the teen years.  Being a teen is hard enough without having no one to share your dreams, decisions and most of all your love with.  I love that this book shows it's tough at times but you have to be tougher. You have to be a fighter. Bravo Mr. Woodward!

      I found no issues with this one.

      I gave this one 5 cheers out of 5 because it's about time we address and learn about the trials and tribulations of being looked at as an outsider!
