Blurb:
Meet Hailey - possessed by an otherworldly being
who was trapped in her Kindle.
Hailey Parrish was quick-witted, irreverent, and hadn’t had a date in three years. She only wanted an eBook reader because her collection of paperbacks threatened to take over her small living space. Little did she know that the "special offers" that prompted the purchase included much more than a reduced price in exchange for a few ads. The device came preloaded with the essence of Sebastian Kess, an erudite womanizer with magical abilities from a parallel dimension. When she inadvertently releases him and he inhabits her body, she finally has a man inside her, just not in the way she imagined. And soon her predicament introduces her to yet another supernatural, the handsome could-be-the-man-of-her-dreams Alex Sunderland. Can Alex and Hailey find a way to return Sebastian to his own body, stay one step ahead of the criminals who want to keep him where he is, and not lose their sense of humor?

Excerpt
from Special Offers:
Another marqizobaz
delivered us directly to the palace, which was, well, palatial. Set on a grassy
hill, the immense structure loomed over the city. Which wasn’t saying much, as
the rest of the terrain was flat as a pancake. The front was five-stories tall
and symmetrical with a slightly protruding columned section at the center that
served as the main entryway. On either side, each floor had at least 15
identical bays of tall, multipaned windows. At the corners were squared,
tower-like structures, each with a short, walled edge at the top patrolled by
royal guards.
Our guards whisked us into a huge marble-floored,
multistory foyer. Only when the hulking, carved entry doors were closed did
they break their protective formation, fanning out behind us with precision.
Sebastian leaned in close. “They are terrible
conversationalists, but you have to admire their style,” he observed.
“True,” Tannis agreed, nodding. “I, for one, have
always loved the leather boots. Nothing like a man in uniform,” she added in a
dreamy voice, as if recalling some long-past, but pleasant memory.
Sebastian gasped in mock horror. “What’s this? I
thought fraternizing with the help was expressly forbidden.”
Tannis grinned suggestively but stayed silent.
Alex glared at his sister. “No wonder Mother
insisted you have only female guards once you reached puberty.”
Her smile widened. “The women look just as hot in
the boots, you know.”
A pained expression flashed across Alex’s face.
“TMI, Tannis, TMI.”
“Actually,” Sebastian volunteered, “I was thinking
the more detail the better.”

spends a lot of time writing dry, science non-fiction. In an effort to strengthen the less logical side of her brain, she decided to write some of the many
stories rolling around in her head. She lives in Tucson, AZ with her husband,
son, four cats, two dogs, and an adopted Desert Tortoise.
