Some of you may know from reading my blog that I went to pharmacy school in Atlanta, GA. While there my husband at the time lived here in St. Louis, MO. It meant I spent many long hours in the car.

You can imagine all the twists and turns in a long adventure. Here are a few tips that will help anyone hoping to tackle a project like this.
What is your favorite weapon? Kat lifts her hands, turning them this way and that, examining her the lines along her palms. She lifts her eyes to the interviewer, an orange glow spreading across the rims of her iris’. The skin above her cheekbones darken, and her teeth elongate, sharpen.

To get vengeance Mara will have to go through a whole army. If you want to read her story it's only 99 cents.
Get your copy free on instafreebie. Nisha has great sway over those around her and it threatens to tear her people apart. Will Nisha learn to harness her potential before it's too late, or will her whole world crumble around her?
