Excerpt:
I found myself encompassed in total darkness,
pitch-blackness. I spun around in a complete three-sixty with my arms extended
in front of me, searching for anything that would offer a clue to my location.
I found none, but moved forward with caution while I continued groping for
something familiar. As instinct kicked in, my senses went on high alert. I
began to sniff the air around me, slowing my stride just a little so I could
take deeper breaths, but I was unable to detect any kind of a scent from the
air. The certainty that nothing existed around me chilled my bones.
Suddenly I heard screaming. I turned toward it, listening
closely to the high-pitched sound. Was it screaming or crying? Male or female?
The urge to flee overtook me, but despite my fear I started to run blindly
toward the noise.
The shrieks stopped abruptly. I stomped my foot in
frustration and encountered something. When I squatted down and felt the
surface, I realized it was gravel and I was outside somewhere. When I stood up,
suddenly my air supply was cut off and I couldn’t breathe. Instinctively, I
reached for my face, finding nothing was on my face, but my body gasped for
air.
I continued to struggle for air, but my efforts to remove
whatever it was made it worse. I stumbled and fell into darkness with my heart
racing, and then suddenly there was air.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Lola James
has been reading romance novels since her teens, and fell in love with the
paranormal after discovering Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Her love of the
dark worlds of vampires and witches, as well as her fascination with Greek
mythology led her to create the Spellbound Series, an ongoing Paranormal
Romance combining all of the above into tales of suspense with a little bit of
humor in an Urban Fantasy setting.
A longtime
lover of reading and writing with a passion for a great story, James became
discouraged by the complicated and arbitrary publishing process, James had
initially set down her laptop and her hopes of being a writer. However, with
the purchase of her first e-reader, James became re-energized by the new
possibilities for an undiscovered author to reach the masses. Dusting off her
keyboard she finally finished Bound to Remember, the first book of the
Spellbound Series and self-published it. Energized and ambitious, James is now
hard at work on both the Spellbound Series as well as the Fate Series, a
paranormal romance about dreams and what happens if they come true.
Living in
Southern California with her two beautiful children, James finds time to write
in between her full-time job as a mother as well as her other full-time job as
an HR manager, as well as her academic schedule as she studies for her Master’s
degree which she hopes to complete in 2013. With the success of Bound to
Remember, James hopes to continue to reach an audience that will allow her to
leave her HR job and focus on her writing as a full time career.
