Bourignon's Lust
ISBN-13: 978-1480134270
Bourignon's Lust is a boiling cauldron of spiritual redemption and fantasy. The first of seven novels following the line of the 7 deadly sins and the mercy of Manitto to forgive and permit us redemption. Though redemption is a ever flowing theme, it is never shoved down the reader's throat and there is a peaceful call and waiting love.
Bourignon's Lust finds the Valley of Machtando in unrest; someone has entered through the mists and is being held under the lustful control of the vampire, Bourignon. However, this victim’s troubled mind drives Bourignon to kidnap Catherine, one of Machtando’s protectors, and plots to force her to cure what haunts his prized possession’s mind. With the unrest of the mist, no one seems to notice another arrival to Machtando; yet, it is she that will change Te’me and Catherine’s pack forever as they stand to protect Machtando, and all who enter, from the deadliest of temptations.
Temperance of Regan Niobe (working title)
I could feel death creeping in, knew my time was short. I had been lucky far too long. Eventually, I would surrender to it – part of me always wanted to do so.Often, I grounded myself by clinging to my girls and their world - so full of life. They were always the reason I had sided against death for so long. That, no longer mattered, for today I lay them in the ground. God had finally had enough. He judged me to no longer be deserving of them.I cannot imagine my world without them; my breath and soon my very heartbeat would cease. So let me proceed before it becomes too dark to do so.We, for we have always felt as a “we”, are far into a third bottle – just a little something to wash down the case of beer. Tiring of the vodka, tequila would now suffice; a bit of “liquid courage” to finally end all that pains and haunts me.Yet, I cannot bring myself to apologize to anyone – isn’t that what final notes are for? There’s no one left who I would care if they noticed.
