One of the most asked questions I get is how
I came up with the Divinities. I’m never sure how to answer the question,
because The Divinities just evolved from a bunch of research and unfinished
stories. I did a lot of research of mythologies, and I read a lot of other
paranormal romances. I even got hook on a couple of urban fantasies that
sparked a couple of ideas for when I’m ready to write UF. LOL.

When I first sat down to write a series, I
wanted to write a vampire series. Why? Because that was what I was reading and
loved. I still love a great vamp story. However, I couldn’t develop a solid
mythology of my own. There are so many out there and I want mine to be
different, something fresh. But, I’m close. I think I may have it. I’ll have to
wait though before starting it.

wait though before starting it.
Then I turned to reaching Greek Mythology,
where I discovered Hecate. I was drawn to her for some reason and did more
research into witches. Then the idea of four sisters, demi-goddess, are sent by
Hecate to earthside to hide a power source from the evil draken that escape
Tartarus. There were a number of other creatures like vamps and some I made up.
Like my vampires the storyline had
holes I didn’t know how to fix. I just could figure out what was missing or
wrong. So I trashed it (actually shelved it for the possibility that I could
use some of it later) and started over. Trust me it was a mess. LOL.

So going with Hecate, the Goddess of
Witchcraft, I created my witches–a spiritual and peaceful group of people that
doesn’t have supernatural powers, unless they were born with the Divine gene. The
gene the Divinities carry in their bloodline give them god-like powers, but not
all witches born to these special bloodlines are Divinities. Only those who bare
the Divine Rose birth mark possess a special gift and the ability to use magic
at will, without a spell.

Now there is a new uprise in the demonic
population, and the Divinities must protect the Sinew and stop Khan from
merging the three worlds together.

genius and demi-goddess–aka Divinity–Khloe Bradenton relies on no one for
help, and she definitely doesn’t need comfort from anyone other than her twin.
After her parents died by the demons’ hands over two years ago, she has
graciously stepped up to her place in the war between demons and witches. When
a creature far more dangerous than the ones responsible for killing her parents
claims he is her guardian, she is torn between her desires for the dark predator
and the painful loss she has endured at the hands of her enemies.

of the last death demons still in existence, Jagger has pledged his life to the
Goddess Hecate. Charged with the guardianship over the Divinities, he is never
to approach them, but to aid them from a distance. When the firestorm, Khloe,
sacrifices herself to save her twin and best friend and becomes the prey, he
has no choice but to reveal himself to her. He is taken by surprise when the
need to claim her as his own emerges. A desire he has never felt before could
be more dangerous than the demons out to destroy them.

Excerpt:
Stepping off the
curb to head to the car, Khloe stilled and let the warm air caress her skin. An
electrical charge that only the select few magickin—like
her and the other Divinities—could detect was palpable in the humid summer air.

Her spine tingled
as the supernatural energy drifted on the wind, putting her on full alert.
Reaching out with her senses, she relaxed. A little. The energy was familiar in
an odd kind of way. Her admirer was nearby.

For the last
month, someone had watched her and followed her every move. When the entity was
near, a warm shiver rolled over her skin like a caress. The energy didn’t come
from a human. Demon? Maybe. But, the power was too intense to be any demonic
creature she’d come in contact with. She considered one of the gods, but that
didn’t make sense either. The gods wouldn’t stalk her. They would send a
messenger or deliver their message in person. She and the others had also
thought it could be a guardian.

Whatever the

upon.

She scanned to
mall parking lot and the sidewalk that lead to the various shops. Nothing
remotely threatening came into view or reached out to her supernatural senses.
Then again, she never saw anything when she sensed the presence. It had shown
up last month, right after she and Kalissa had been thrust into an ancient war
between witches and demons.
