Perfect Lie

-

My nerves are wracked
But my heart is ready
The odds are stacked
But, I'm rollin' steady
The ins and outs
And in-betweens
the lines of the lies
I just want to scream
Your name is not
What your blood may seem
Still,
I found love inside
Their perfect lie.

The Witches of Andar- Book Trailer; by Ashlie Harris

Justine is a spitfire. She’s grown from a young, innocent woman in love with her handsome prince into a powerful enchantress to be reckoned with! There is a darkness spreading across the land and only The Witches of Andar can turn the tide... Justine and her friends, through stealth, ingenuity, and one peculiar spell, risk it all to end Duke Ebrius’ otherworldly hold on the throne. Will they succeed? Or will the Duke claim yet another victim? My characters definitely have minds of their own. Justine was so sweet and innocent in the first book. Now, she’s like an entirely new person! She demanded to have her story told, and there was no stopping it. One place in the story this is reflected is in her relationship with Eleyna. Without giving any spoilers- as soon as I created Eleyna’s character, I knew there was going to be a strong bond between her and Justine. Sure enough, the story unfolded at their will. There were many surprises in store for me as I wrote both The Witches of Andar ...

She stared out her window at the blur of green hues from the trees and grass flashing by. Sighing heavily and throwing her silky blonde hair back against the beige, pleather headrest, she glanced over to her mother in the driver’s seat. Sherri Burke’s tight perm and loose brown ponytail bobbed up and down as she drove. Studying her mother’s face, Lindsey wondered when she’d gotten wrinkles and if her mouth was always so taut, or if it was just when she was driving and concentrating on the road.

He’d been ...

As children, we saw the world through a completely different lens. We were naive and fanciful dreamers, full of big ideas and plans for the future. We were going to be astronauts, ballerinas, and rockstars. We were going to buy candy bars whenever we wanted and, of course, we knew everything about everything and exactly how the world worked. It wasn't until we got older, when we finally realize, Life Sucks. It's hard and messy and more difficult than we'd ever anticipated. But, we figured it out. We have jobs and we pay our bills and, yes, every so often we DO buy a candy bar whenever we want. But, we're still learning. Those misconceptions we had as children are still revealing their true forms and shocking people to their inner core everyday. What's interesting is, these are the smallest things of which you or I, knowing how they truly work, would never have given them a second thought. But, to that one individual who had a completely different reality, it's e...
