Charm Me Again MFRWhooks
This week. #MFRWhooks is the award winning Charm Me Again, set in Colorado. It doesn’t get much better than that! Breaking the curse is only the first step to forever.So pull up a chair and get comfy, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Charm Me Again!
A scene in this book takes place at Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. A magical place. that inspired Charm Me Again. The scene came from my personal experience of hiking up the Hanging Lake trail in the pouring rain. You’ve never lived until you climb over large rain slickened rocks on an uphill trail gaining 1,000 feet in elevation over the mile climb. But oh my the view of a lake on the side of a mountain is breath-taking!
A peek between the pages of Charm Me Again: The hook.
For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.
As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.
Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?
A little more about Charm Me Again! A Feel good tale where two families long divided brought together through magic, love, understanding & and adventure of a lifetime.
People ran for cover screaming. The hard-frozen ice balls changed to slush pellets then switched to large storybook snowflakes. The howling wind died down and the sun returned to a cloudless sky in a matter of fifteen minutes.
“Wow. I’ve never seen—Wow.” She leaned over and scooped up a mixture of soft snow and hard ice balls just before it all disappeared. “Colorado is known for its changeable weather, but…” she shook her head.
“Crazy weather you have here.” He glanced around bemused.
“No…No…this isn’t normal.” She turned on her heel in a circle. “How…”
He reached for her, catching the arm of her jacket. “Someone pissed off mother nature. Come on let’s get going.” He couldn’t explain it, but there’d been a serious rift in the magic continuum, and it wasn’t good.
“Well on the bright side, the rocks won’t be wet from whatever weather phenomenon caused the storm.. It’ll make hiking down much easier than slipping and sliding on icy snow, hail, sleet, rain—and wind during whatever.”
“Yeah. Guess so.” He was amazed at the nonchalant attitude she demonstrated. But, she didn’t know.

Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. Lets get started with books set in my city or state.
Wow, after last week’s topic, this one is a slam dunk. LOL I’ll start with my own books that are set in Colorado.
CFor several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery and an attraction that brings a devastating curse comes to light.

An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement –
The story came about one summer when hubby and I were driving over Independence Pass. It’s one of our favorite drives in Colorado. A beautiful drive if you don’t mind the shear drop-offs. Abandoned cabins (dating back to 1880-1890) dot the landscape near the top of Independence Pass at over 12,000 feet in elevation. As I rounded the back of one of those cabins a complete scene unfolded among the spectacular views. I rushed to the truck and jotted down an outline and An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement was born.
Fallen warrior angel, Caden Silverwind, lives alone in Colorado’s rugged Rockies, healing from physical wounds as well as the mental anguish suffered during battles with dark demons. Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent, Mystic Rayne’s personal dilemma and assignment nearly gets her killed.
Their quest to uncover her attacker takes them from the pristine mountains in Colorado to the wilds of Wyoming. Along the way, they find answers which may place them in more danger
Then we have Coming Home to Crimson by another Colorado Author, Michelle Major who has a whole series set in Crimson, Colorado. Though it’s set in a fictional town it’s still in Colorado.
Can’t complete this list without one from Nora Roberts, Night Smoke is set in Denver, Colorado. Arson investigator Ryan Piasecki was a man who got the job done no matter what the obstacle…or how beautiful she was. Ambitious executive Natalie Fletcher’s new business was going up in smoke, literally, and she needed Ryan’s help to catch the arsonist.
Last but not least, “Murder at the Brown Palace” By Dick Krek
The Brown Palace is an icon in Denver, and this book explores the true story of one of the most notorious murders in Denver history. The murder, which took place in Denver’s most beloved and grand hotel, eventually lead to two of the most fascinating trials in Colorado history. The story centers around Denver socialite Isabel Springer, who had been courting two different gentlemen who were unaware of the other’s intentions.
So there you have it, a few of the many books set in my city or state. I’d love to hear from you. Please share your thoughts on what books are set in your city or state. Please list them in the comments below.
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom with edits on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC and on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors list as books set in their city or state. L&SR
Pssst… While you’re here, don’t forget to check out my paranormal romance/mysteries click here.
Now lets talk for a moment about a fun weekend read spinning around magic, time travel, a family mystery, and gypsies. Mystic Maples. When Mercy discovers the truth, Silvanus’ well-ordered life unravels and they’re catapulted into the past to right a wrong.
Earth/Fire witch Mercy Rose’s insatiable curiosity always gets her in trouble. After a break-in at her Colorado flower shop, and a court battle that comes to a screeching halt in her favor, she arrives at Deerbourne Inn for a much-needed getaway. Looking for peace and quiet, she finds just the opposite in a startling handsome but mysterious man and his dog.
Silvanus Forrest’s gypsy/fae heritage is a double-edged sword. The land he inherited from his parents is rumored to be enchanted. But when Mercy discovers the truth, his well-ordered life unravels, and they’re catapulted into the past to right a wrong. Along the way their lives intertwine, and they discover the true meaning of family and love. Will they change the past in time to save their future?

A little about AN ANGEL’S UNINTENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT–
Fallen warrior angel, Caden Silverwind, lives alone in Colorado’s rugged Rockies, healing from physical wounds as well as the mental anguish suffered during battles with dark demons. Then he finds a woman barely clinging to life after a horrendous beating. He is not prepared for the entanglement she brings to his life, nor the feelings she awakens in him.
Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent, Mystic Rayne’s personal dilemma and assignment nearly gets her killed. Divine intervention is a complication she never expected and her growing attraction to Caden is undeniable. Can she trust him with her secret?
Their quest to uncover her attacker takes them from the pristine mountains in Colorado to the wilds of Wyoming. Along the way, they find answers which may place them in more danger. Determined to solve the mystery, they must also navigate their feelings and fears to find love and unite heaven and earth.
A peek between the pages of AN ANGEL’S UNINTENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT:
Dislodged rocks and sticks bounced down the path ahead of him as he stopped to admire the view and noticed something in the brush.
She lay naked, battered, and beaten several yards off the trail. Her long, straight black hair fanned around her head, tangled with twigs and bits of grass. Caden moved silently toward her, stopped, and picked up a Bureau of Indian Affairs ID a few feet from where she lay. He stuffed it in his pocket while watching the surrounding area for signs of her attackers. Kneeling down at her side, he saw scratches and bruises on her high-sculpted cheekbones and her full lips had a shading of blue around them. He placed his hand lightly on her chest, felt a weak heartbeat and sensed a brave soul unwilling to give up. God, this is the last thing I need.
Summoning medical help here was futile. The altitude at 12,092 feet, combined with rocky terrain, made it difficult for most rescue vehicles. They’d be too late to save her. He slid his hands under her body. At his touch, a scene unfolded in his mind of snarling wolves, the valiant fight she waged against a male until she was too weak to defend herself any longer, then blackness. Anger surged through him as he carried her along the rocky path to the fifth wheel trailer he called home.

#L&SR Wednesday Weekly Blog Challenge A Villain That I Wish could be Redeemed & Why
Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 5-13-20, A Villain that I WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and grab a chocolate chip cookie. Lets get started with A Villain that I WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why.
Wow, I’ve got nothing. Like most people I love to hate the bad guy. So I’m going way back in my memory banks to the Duddly Do Right cartoons I used to watch a villain Snidely Whiplash. I’m dating myself, but I’d always wished he’d not tie Nell to the railroad tracks. LOL
Let’s talk about SYNN, a character that has floated through several of my A Demon’s Witch Series, until she got her own story the fifth book in that series A MAGIC REDEMPTION IN 2018. Yep it was her redemption.
Synn, a demon, carries extraordinary magic and power, but there is more within her than she dreams. Kidnapped as a child, her captors murdered her family and forced her into training as a warrior assassin. When an assignment goes horribly wrong, she finds herself at the mercy of the friends and family of her intended target. Offering valuable information in exchange for protection, she gains her freedom, but it is not without its challenges.
Wait, I’ve got one more. Nebula of the Guardians of the Galaxy fame. She became one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most popular anti-heroes, but when we met her in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, she was a full-blown villain (who was loyal to Thanos without question). At that point, I felt she was being manipulated by Thanos. In the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, I got my wish she redeemed herself. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. LOL
So there you have it,A Villain that I WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why. I’d love to hear from you. Please share your Villain that you WIsh Could be Redeemed & Why. List them in the comments below.
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom with edits on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC and on a new WIP (very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors list as their reasons. L&SR
