Monday is Chapter Day at Romance Book Wyrm

My friend Amy has been a romance reader for several years and has recently had a book of her own, Bound by Magic, a paranormal erotica story, published with Red Rose Publishing. She has also been writing the sequel titled Bound by Fate. In addition, she has recently finished writing a story from a different world, Spirits Unveiled which will be self published with LULU.com.

Amy has recently realized, however, that while she enjoys writing stories, she doesn't enjoy any of the parts that follow the creative writing process in order to get published. For her, the best and most rewarding part of writing--aside from the creative outlet of the writing process itself--is the feedback she gets from her friends when she shares her stories. So she has decided to leave the stress of publishing behind and focus on the fun--simply sharing her stories with her friends, which she will do on her blog Romance Book Wyrm.

Amy will be posting one chapter at a time every Monday on her blog starting today with her story Spirits Unveiled. Here is the cover art and the story blurb to whet your appetite:

Raina fears not the enemy she liberates, but a threat from her own clan. The intensity of their attraction tastes of destiny, and together they will right a terrible wrong.

In a land where people carry within themselves an animal spirit lives four clans; Bear, Wolf, Hawk and Tiger.

Darien, leader of the Wolf clan, finds himself captured and imprisoned by his enemy, the Bear clan.

Emotionally battered her entire life, Raina, daughter of the Bear clan leader, fears a forced marriage to a horrid man looming in her future. A plan forms--free the prisoner in exchange for his protection to find her safety.

Inexplicably drawn to each other, Darien struggles with his inner yearnings. They are from rival clans. Yet with every touch, every heated kiss, he is unable to deny what his body craves.

Secrets and visions are revealed and hope lies within Darien and Raina if they can only embrace who they truly are, for the Spirits have destined the two to make right a terrible wrong that took place a thousand years ago.

  3. Amy! :: Aww. I just summarized things YOU already said. You're quite welcome for the support. I still think you were so brave to take that leap to write something and get published. And I admire you for realizing that maybe getting published just isn't the thing for you right now. And I'm selfishly delighted that you'll still write and share your stories with ME! =)

    That is a beautiful cover...

    Kris :: Excellent! I think you'll enjoy Amy's stories.
