Five For Friday Featuring |
TERROR HAS COME... Nobody wakes up one morning and decides that today is the day they are going to cheat on their spouse. When the opportunity presents itself, however, it ultimately becomes a choice-and that choice, whether good or bad, can have irrevocable consequences... | Guilt is a powerful thing, and former deputy Jack Collins is mired in it. Unable to forget the events that have taken place in the town he was sworn to protect, he feels as if he is slowly drowning as he tries to cope with the aftermath of a serial killer's reign of terror, as well as his new--and unwanted--job as chief of police. Ethan Harrington's innocence was lost seven years ago when his mother took her own life. Forced to grow up in a hurry, he quickly learned to build a wall around his heart, vowing never to let it be hurt again. Left alone with his controlling and abusive father in an isolated farmhouse, he struggles to live among the shattered remains of a family that was never functional to begin with. |

‘A Protector's Second Chance, A Christmas Miracle’
Diana Marie DuBois
"Can the roar of true love stand the test of time?"
As a young girl, Diana Marie Dubois was an avid reader and was often found in the local public library. Now you find her working in her local library.
Hailing from the culture filled state of Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans; her biggest inspiration has always been the infamous Anne Rice and her tales of Vampires. It was those very stories that inspired Diana to take hold of her dreams and begin writing.
She is now working on her first series, Voodoo Vows. She lives with her six fur babies who will find their way into her stories and she hopes into your hearts.
Please Welcome Diana Marie Dubois to Rukia Publishing with her story ‘A Protector's Second Chance, A Christmas Miracle’ and the box set it's included in "Santa's Naughty List".
Hello Diana Marie and Thank you for joining us today for this countdown to Christmas special with 25 Bad Boys from "Santa's Naughty List".
Hello all and thank you for such a warm greeting!
Let's Get Started!
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I started writing in 2013 when I began to role play for a popular Facebook group. After reading some of my storylines to my dad, he encouraged me to write my own stories.
How did you come up with your stories?
I live in Louisiana so I have plenty of inspiration and I am a huge paranormal junkie.
What are 3 of your favorite lines/quotes from your new release?
“Come on, Jurnee. Take a ride with me and let the motorcycle vibrate between your legs and take you places you’ve never been before.” He winked at me.
“Oh geez, you are like every other guy. I doubt that is what you want vibrating between my legs.
Quickly I turned back to human and stood there naked. “Damn it to hell, man, put some damn clothes on,” Cayne said as he threw my jeans and cut at me.
Tell us about your other books?
My first book Voodoo Vows is about a witch and the Cajun werewolf a Rougaroux. In the mix is a magical Great Dane who has gotten her own series, starting with Bred by Magic.
If you could share one thing about yourself that you would like readers to know what would it be?
I am a lover of old music, black and white movies. I grew up with a mother who raised me on the oldies, so I have a very eclectic taste.
Thank You Diana Marie! It was great to meet you and get to know you. Good luck with your writing!
Thank you for this interview. I hope you will enjoy ‘A Protector's Second Chance, A Christmas Miracle’ as much I enjoyed writing it.

‘The Widow Mate’
Stephanie Maycott
To Mate means leaving all he knows behind, his entire world behind him.
Please Welcome Stephanie Maycott to Rukia Publishing with her story ‘The Widow Mate’ and the box set it's included in "Santa's Naughty List".
Hello Stephanie and Thank you for joining us today for this countdown to Christmas special with 25 Bad Boys from "Santa's Naughty List".
Good day all from England. My name is Stephanie Maycott and I am new to the author world.
Let's Get Started!
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I have been writing on and off since I was a child.
I decided to become an author when I wrote my ideas down and when someone close read them, said person wanted them to be published. It took a little while for me to get my head around the fact that my ramblings were good, better than good.
How did you come up with your stories?
I have a background in the Army as my father is a Veteran and so is my partner. I also love shifters.
This is an odd one as the shifter within the novel is a lizard. I have always wanted to write about an albino and so I did in this, an Albino Lizard shifter.
I chose what many think is the hardest Officer role to write about, a Special Ops specialist, as their entire life is a lie. But I enjoyed the challenge. I came up with this while speaking to my partner about the different ranks in the military and what I wanted my character to do and his back story.
What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?
The worst part about writing is editing your own work and thankfully someone helped me with that.
The best part about writing is actually writing the novella.
What inspires you to write?
I get my inspiration from the world around me.
How did you conduct your research for ‘The Widow Mate’?
By talking to my partner about what Special operations does and I sent this off to a beta reader who was in the military to read, to make sure it was all correct.
Thank You Stephanie! It was great to meet you and get to know you. Good luck with your writing!
Thank you for this interview. I hope you will enjoy ‘The Widow Mate’ as much I enjoyed writing it.

My new book, Good Morning Diego Garcia, will be released as soon as I receive feedback on nautical terms and lingo from my beta reading sailor friends. Needless to say, I’m anxiously awaiting their feedback.
About The Book
When Susan and Charles receive a letter from Cyprus friends, now in Taiwan, they get a chance to help crew a sailboat from Sri Lanka across the Indian Ocean. They have no clue what to expect. Susan reminds Charles she isn't a good swimmer. He tells her a life jacket will do the trick, and convinces her it's the opportunity of a lifetime. A must-do travel adventure. They say goodbye to friends and family in sunny California, fly to New York and on to India, arriving the day the Indian government has issued a state of emergency. And then onto the boat, and into the ocean. In monsoon season. With no charts.
In this true-life travel adventure, Susan keeps a journal and record her bizarre thoughts and telling dreams. A real life thriller, Susan's monsoon-season journey is about discovery and spiritual realization—one dream at a time.
Thought you might enjoy an excerpt from Chapter Two, while we wait.
Hope it resonates with you.
Inside Chapter Two
Good Morning Diego Garcia
I glanced at Charles. He was sleeping.
My eyes closed and I returned to remembering the first big travel adventure.
From JFK Airport we flew to London, and boarded another flight to Tel Aviv. A driver, holding a sign with our family name on it, greeted us at the Lod Airport in Tel Aviv, and showed us to a sherut (a shared taxi) which took us (along with other new emigrants) from Tel Aviv, through the Negev desert, to the village of Arad, where we studied Hebrew.
“Amazing adventure,” I said.
Charles patted my knee. “Were you dreaming?”
“Remembering; same thing,” I said, smiling. “And now we’re up and away again; seven years later. Another adventure. It’s exciting”
“Chicken Marsala or Beef Stroganoff?” the hostess asked.
I put my seat forward in an upright position and lowered the food tray.
“Chicken for me, please,” I answered. “And Chardonnay.”
Charles chose the Beef Stroganoff and red wine.
“You look like Dr Ben Casey,” the airline hostess told Charles. “I love his show.”
“So, I’m told often,” Charles said smiling. “In fact, I’ve never seen the show.”
“You haven’t?” she asked. “It’s a great medical drama. A neurosurgeon at County General Hospital. Anyway, enjoy your meal.” She moved on down the aisle.
I uncovered a steaming dish of chicken smothered in mushrooms with pasta. “It’s true,” I told Charles. “You do look like Dr Casey.” I took a bite. “This is delicious. I hope the food is as good on Air India.”
“Maybe better,” Charles said.
“Charles?” I asked, touching his arm.
“Yes?”
“What will you do, when we return to California?”
“What do you mean?”
“Workwise? If your company doesn’t have a new assignment for you?”
“I’m sure they will by then.”
“And if not?”
“Something will turn up. Why do you ask?”
“We’ve been in limbo a long time. When we lived in Virginia Beach, The Little Theatre there advertised a play by Samuel Beckett.”
“And?” he asked, giving me a strange look.
“I wanted to see it, but arrived too late one evening to get in.”
“What was it about?”
“Two people waiting for someone named Godot—wanting someone else to move them forward; prove their existence.”
“Sounds ridiculous.” Charles grimaced.
“Of course Godot never shows.”
“Why on earth would you want to see that? Sounds ridiculous.”
“It reminded me of our situation. Waiting on your firm to tell us where to go next. Like we have no free will. “
Charles didn’t answer. He finished his lunch and went back to reading.
I went back to remembering.
Following the upheaval of the Cyprus War in July 1974, we were homeless and confused about where we’d live. After our evacuation to England, Charles awaited news daily from his employer, a Swiss firm, on where they planned to send him. He had worked for them for years, both in Europe and in the Middle East, and they hoped to place him somewhere. So we waited, and waited some more. I read lots of books, took long walks in the English countryside, and wished for a place to call home.
After weeks of waiting, Charles received a telephone call one day telling us to book flights to Virginia Beach, Virginia, where Charles would work out of the company office near Langley.
Upon our arrival, we found a beautiful, fully furnished home for rent on the 10th hole of the golf course, near the beach; bicycles included.
I stared out the plane window and watched billowing clouds float past. The flight attendant stopped to ask if we’d like more coffee or tea.
“Coffee please,” I replied.
“Cream, sugar?” she asked.
“No thanks. Black please,” I answered. “Smells fresh.”
Charles said no thanks and continued reading.
She smiled and moved on.
I took a sip of coffee.
“Since when do you drink black coffee?” Charles asked.
“Since Virginia Beach and visiting the Edgar Cayce Library.” I answered.
“The Cayce Library?” he questioned.
“Yes, while you were busy visiting military bases, I spent my days riding the bike along the boardwalk to the public library; researching the Cyprus War. One afternoon, by accident … ” I hesitated. “There are no accidents,” I added.
Charles nodded.
“I rode past the Edgar Cayce Foundation Library. People laden with boxes were busy moving books. A volunteer worker explained hundreds of books were being moved from the old Cayce Hospital Library to their new home. She invited me to go on in, have a look around, and make myself comfortable.”
“And you did,” Charles said.
“Yes. Entering the library, I felt as if I had discovered a secret chamber of knowledge; a vault filled with mysterious truths. My head tingled with excitement, so I knew I was in the right place.”
“What does this have to do with black coffee?” Charles asked.
I told Charles all about Edgar Cayce, “The Sleeping Prophet” and how he had the ability to put himself into a relaxed sleep state and connect his mind with all information in time and space. From this state he could respond to any question asked: from practical to trivial, to secrets of the universe. His psychic insights became know as “readings” and were recorded by a stenographer. People from all over the world sent letters requesting information on someone or something. All Cayce needed to know was the name of the person requesting the information and their location before he went into a trance and collected information.
I thought Charles would go back to reading his book, instead he seemed to be listening to me.
“The library was divided into several sections,” I continued. “I found myself drawn to one about discovering your mission in life and another section with books and articles about exploring ancient mysteries. Although I had always felt there was more to life than this life, the Cayce Library was my introduction to the idea of the existence of souls, and how they live on and on after physical death. I felt certain I had experienced past lives … and been lucky in all of them.”
“You were lucky in Cyprus,” Charles said. “We were lucky to get out alive.”
I nodded and continued. “I was soon lost in a sea of information on Edgar Cayce and his thousands of readings.”
“What does this have to do with black coffee?” Charles asked.
“Oh,” I answered. “Cayce talked about diet and the importance of balancing alkaline-producing foods with acid-producing foods and eating locally grown, seasonal foods. And he gave a list of things to avoid like not eating large quantities of meat or cheese with starchy foods.”
“Such as?” Charles questioned.
“Enchiladas, for example.”
Charles laughed.
“Milk, cereal, coffee with milk or cream,” I added, sipping my black coffee.
“To each his own,” Charles said. “No one can convince me Mexican food isn’t healthy.”
“I love it too. I stopped eating cereal after the discovery though.”
Charles opened his book and continued reading.
I removed my travel journal from the seat back pocket in front of me and scribbled images of the jagged clouds and noted some random thoughts about the uncertainty of being in limbo.
Uncertain? Unclear. Unsettled. Unknown.

‘A Stag’s Claim’
Georgiana Pallett
To resist his Mate would leave a hole in his heart and a thorn in his side for forever more.
Please Welcome Samantha to Rukia Publishing with her story "His Client, His Mate" and the box set it's included in "Santa's Naughty List".
Hello Samantha and Thank you for joining us today for this countdown to Christmas special with 25 Bad Boys from "Santa's Naughty List".
Let's Get Started!
Good day from England. My name is Georgiana Pallett and I am a very new author. I have just published my debut book ‘A Stag’s Claim’ in ‘Santa’s Naughty List’.
I am from England, I have lived here all my life and I have been writing for most of that too. I have a fascination with anything historical and so I thought that my first release should be a historical one.
How long have you been a writer and how did you come to writing?
I have been writing for some years now. I started to write as I had ideas in my mind that I wanted to write. So I did.
I decided to become an author as I had ideas and they would not leave me be so I wrote them out of my head. Someone saw me writing and read some of my work, saying it was very good. I did not believe them till others read it and told me I had a talent for writing.
How did you come up with your stories?
I get my ideas from anything and everything around me, from images, to television, to a comment or a phrase, to other works I read and some are just concoctions from my imagination.
What are the best and the worst aspects of writing?
I love it all, even the editing.
What inspires you to write?
My inspiration comes from anything and everything around me.
How did you conduct your research for A Stag’s Claim’?
I have books on history, all sorts of things from clothes to social etiquette. But I also use the internet and I double check and triple check the facts I get from the internet as not everything on the internet is checked.
Thank you Georgiana, it was great speaking with you!
Thank you for being here with me. I hope you have enjoyed what you have learned today.
