Review of Eternal Light


Eternal Light Review

          Eternal Light is written by Layla J Omorose and is amazingly brilliant. Below is her decription of the novel:
He walked in eternal darkness...Until she came and sparked his desire. Now the first of the Trinity must claim his mate or risk unleashing hell on Earth...
Check out her blog:  http://jthomas121088.blogspot.com/
The eldest of three, Radien, Trinityhound of Life is haunted by the mistakes he's made, mistakes that have ripped his family apart. After years of living in self imposed exile far away from a tragic past. He is forced to me it face to face. Not only to protect a world that is blind to a truth better left alone, but to find the one thing that can him to his knees... His destined mate, a woman whose very touch makes him pant from desire...

Her dreams made flash...

As the owner of her own publishing company, Melody Sonders has all she could ever want. Strong and confident she believed she had control over everything in her life...Except love. Heartbroken she has sword off the male species...Until the man of her dreams appears and turns her world upside down. Heart stopping gorgeous and clearly bad of her health, he sparks her wildest desires and brings out the animal in her...

How do you fight a passion that electrifies the soul?
Together they must find a way past their insecurities and come together to stop the beast that hunts them or forever walk in eternal darkness...
          Layla makes her characters jump off the screen and they become engrained in your mind. She has interwoven sex, danger, and the Ancient Greek gods into one amazingly written piece of work. From her descriptions of each character to her descriptions of the surroundings of her characters it’s like you’re there with them.
          This is a must read for anyone interested in mythology, in any form.
          To Layla, keep up the great work!
Thank you

Work Rant


            Tonight has been was f***ked up night.
            First off (this part I don’t mind) I had to come into work 7 hours early to cover for my co-worker who graduated. Way to go on that!
            Second I back into my cousin’s car, which was only paint transfer and a couple scratches. Looks like a bunch of carts got away from someone really, so no big deal. I get the shift report from Michael and he goes home. Then I get stuck dealing with a LARGE group of people that have no RESPECT for anyone else. They get in people’s way. They’re noisy and very rude. They keep yelling at one another and WON’T GO TO BED!! It’s 3 fucking AM in the morning. Even the little babies are still awake. Plus they are SMOKING in NON-SMOKING rooms and who knows if we’ll get the full payment from them.
            I know that any business is good, but when you feel like you’re gonna get bit in the ass, chances are you will.
            I three complaints from one of the rooms and had to comp their neighbor their stay for tonight. THEN they went into the workout room and were messing with the equipment  WHILE SOMEONE ON THE MACHINE and now they keep saying that the soda and vending machines aren’t working. So I had my co-worker put up out of order signs on all of them.
            They keep making messes and it’s nuts.
            In other news I’m tired as hell and am ending this now.

Thanks

Fake Release


          I am excited to say that my latest novel Fake is now available! You can find it on Amazon (in paperback & Kindle formats) as well as Lulu (paperback & hardcover). The book has been really interesting to write. Difficult at times and easy at others
          Please enjoy and look for the next installment Trea Bella-Donna which is Fake told from the killer’s point of view.
          I will be taking a break from the Delta Files series (hopefully) for at least two books. I feel comfortable doing this as I have the next three books in the series planned out (general plot lines). I also have friends giving me ideas. Like one who mentioned that I should do a second Trea novel and what her life is like behind bars plus her trial. I’m thinking that in one of the next novels that the latter will be a subplot. Probably towards the middle of the next book.
          TO WRITERS CAFÉ: I am so grateful to those of you that have read and commented on the chapters I’ve posted. It means so much to me that you’ve taken the time to read my work. For those of you that have read my stuff and that I’ve promised to read yours, don’t worry, I will. It just takes me a little more time. I have days set aside to read. Usually Sundays and Mondays. That way I have three of the five days that I work to write.
          That’s all.
          Thank you.

Fake and Stuff


Fake & Trea
       Working on finishing up Fake and getting pretty well done. I think by tonight or tomorrow night I should have it completely finished. I’ve been working on it all night and I started on chapter 37 and I’m now at chapter 39, which I know doesn’t sound like much, but when you consider that fact that I’m also at work and doing other things, it’s quite a lot actually.
       I’m tossing a lot of emotional scenes into these last few chapters. Outlining Addyson’s plans for Trea and her capture. I already have  the last THREE chapters written. Right now they are labeled 43, 44, and 45. We’ll see how they really end up labeled. I was asked to make the book at least 50 chapters long. I don’t know if I can get that many chapters, but who knows.
       I do think that Trea will end up being a short novel. I’ll have to work hard to keep it in the same notebook as the rest, but I know I can do it. Even if I have to get loose paper and paper clip it in there; wouldn’t be the first time. It shouldn’t take too long to get Trea finished. Most of the work is already done. At least the parts where it crosses over with Fake; I just have to change the point of view and that I can do.

Other Stuff
       I’ve been trying to figure out which novel I want to work on next. Below is a list of current projects in progress.
1.   Sai – The story of Sai. Of how she became a vampire and deals with the raising the child she had given up to he parents to raise.
2.   Dreamland Theater – Marie has a dream. To bring her childhood theater back to its former glory; however, a maniac is making that impossible! Someone keeps entering the theater and killing anyone that crosses his or her path. Now the theater is sinking and sinking fast. Marie needs to find out who the killer is before her Dreamland theater becomes a Nightmare.
3.   Twelve Months – (Tagline-à) Six couples, twelve months, one amazing story. (Description -à) Garnet and her eleven friends have been told they all belonged together, but they could never be in one place together for too long or something bad would happen. They never said that they couldn’t mate, hell, the twelve of them were destined to mate amongst each other. But Garnet and her friends were told that one night in the distant future they would all come together and it would change everything. Forever.
4.   A Perfectly Secret Affair (short story collection)
5.   Egotistical Mama (poetry collection)
6.   Endless Soul – Many have questioned that we are reborn. That we have not one, but many lives. The lives of these women proves it. The soul starts out as Circe Yannis of Ancient Greece. She's married to a wonderful man named Adonis until one day her life changes. It continues to Ancient Persia in the form of young Amari Mandana. There she encounters numerous hardships. From Ancient Persia to Ireland. There is Aislin Quinlain. She lives long and has a very happy life. In Italy, Italia Nico has it easy. She comes from a long line of aristocrats and has the attitude and money to prove it. Scotland brings Marnie Dougal and her trip on the infamous Titanic. Finally in modern America, Pennsylvania Wylie and how she comes to find the connection between herself and these extraordinary women.
I could take any one of these and continue to work on it. But with the muse wanting to focus solely on The Delta Files and Addyson it makes it hard. I already have the next THREE novels titles and covers! Below are the titles and descriptions (in order).
1.   Suicide Killer – There's a serial killer stalking Vancouver and Detective Addyson Delta is powerless stop him or her. This killer is the worst of all, because it's not like any other she's ever faced.  The killer will make you believe there is no murder.  Be careful because you could be the next Victim of the Suicide Killer.
2.   Coroner Someone is trying to turn the police against the coroners and it's not working. The psycho is torturing people by giving them autopsies; while they're alive!  Addyson and her team are forced to investigate the Medical Examiner's office while they bring in new people until the case is solved.  Could Delia or Sapphire really be killers?  Or is someone setting them up?
3.   Highway 500 – A maniac is stalking the highways and side streets of Vancouver. He or she tortures the woman and kills the men right off. The medical examiners and officers are stumped. Can they solve this before it happens again?
Don’t get me wrong, I love Addyson, but everyone needs a break from their main focus once in awhile.
I guess time will tell.

Thanks for now.
