Synopsis:
They say a soul is the immaterial essence, the animating principal, the actuating cause of an individual life. But what if you had to share yours with the one person you hated the most? The soul mate principal states that for every one soul there is another that will recognize its match, hence creating the perfect union. But what if you had two soul mates, which would you choose? What if your choices had eternal ramification?

Deceived, the debut novel in the Soul Keeper Series, is a modern day love story about the implications of having more than one soul mate, and having to choose between the two of them. The decisions of the gods has left the next generation, their heirs, torn between fate and reality, and the balance of the future hangs in anticipation of what's to come.

Things I'd rather do than edit this book.... again..

There are very few things that I deplore, but editing is one of them. I'm praying to win the lottery, not to pay off the house and the cars or to travel around the world, but to simply get a life-long editor.

I'm a mathematician and grammar is my nemesis.

So lying in bed last night, after running through my 15th edit of the book (I've had at least 14 people edit it with me as well), I realized that there are many things I'd rather do than edit this book... again.

1. Brush my teeth with superglue.

2. Tightrope walk with a bacon bathing suit over a pond of hungry gators.

3. Dip myself in honey and set up shop in a bear cave.

4. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro - upside down, nude.

5. Eat locus and wild honey for eternity.

6. Never sleep again.

7. The list goes on and on, but the truth of the matter is simply this - I'd rather do ANYTHING than edit this book again.

Good thing I'm done with it after tonight.

*Almost had to put 'large mountain' instead of Mt. Kilimanjaro due to spelling limitations*

~Try an Excerpt!~

There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, and even though the breeze had picked up, embracing Sam like a good friend, the warmth of the sun was putting up a mighty fight. Being someone who thrived outdoors, she loved that New Hampshire had four seasons and took profound joy in having the ability to experience all the weather gods could throw her way. After the first few warm up miles, Sam stood back up on her peddles and pumped out the next few miles with a good bit of effort.

Man, it feels good to get my blood pumping.

Sam looked to her left as a quick movement of yellow jotted between the trees.

“No!” A loud masculine voice rang out.

She jerked forward in time to swerve, barely missing the yellow lump lying in the road and instead hitting the curb. She plummeted off the bike, flying through the air and landing in a crouch. Her chest heaved in effort to gain much needed oxygen as all of the blood in her body rushed to its aid.

Her eyes quickly surveyed her surroundings as she cautiously rose. No one was close enough to create the loud protest that was still reverbing in her head. Trying to regain her composure, she worked to make sense of what had happened. I could’ve sworn there was something yellow in the trees. And then it was in the road, right?

She searched the ground finding nothing to support her internal claim.
