#Giveaway #IndieBF15: Earth and Fire by @cheri_roman

There is a universal law of unintended consequences...

The wise know that every action has the potential, like a stone dropped into still water, to send out ripples that will touch unknown shores. Decisions, whether great or small, change destinies.

In Earth and Fire, a witch must face her greatest challenge to save her warlock. While trying to temper justice with mercy, she passes an unanticipated burden on to her descendants. Three generations later, a foul-mouthed enchanted bottle, a fledgling romance and a conniving succubus collide in a series of confrontations to produce a shattering conclusion.

Outcast and alone, pixies Pogo and Nip set out to find a place for themselves in a mid-winter world. All they really want is a little warmth. What they find is a lifelong connection that reveals the mystical link between gift and giver in Natural Magic.

In these and other stories, the characters in this collection ignore the truth at their peril. Physical bodies and eternal destinies are altered. Vengeance is plotted and love is found. Whether they are witches, pixies, bards or con-men, everyone bends to the law of unintended consequences.

#Giveaway #IndieBF15: Dark Awakened by @floridaHeather

Last spring Claire’s seemingly normal—if not totally screwed up—life was tossed on its head. For five years she’d been one of the damned—a human that knows the truth about the otherworldly among us. She’d worked for The Boss—the Demon King himself—as his administrative assistant, handling everything from early retirements, to Maintenance’s incessant requests for dental.

No one gets dental.

Then she walked into Purgatory—totally not her fault—went back in time, and awakened powers she never knew existed. Now Claire has a prophecy hanging over her head, a diamond ring hidden in her sock drawer, and the blood of a long dead royal running through her veins. 

And it’s only going to get worse.

Her vow to live free or die takes a serious hit when she’s forced back under The Boss’s protection. Of course, there’s no protection from fate, or the Bounty Hunter sent to deliver her to Purgatory. And as if being “the girl” in the prophecy wasn’t enough, Claire soon discovers there are three other contenders for her role—two of whom want her dead. 

Follow more of Claire’s adventures in Dark Awakened, the second installment of the Devil’s Assistant Series, to find out if she’s lucky enough to escape with her life, or if she’s just the first notch on the next contender’s belt.

A hilarious tale of mystery, adventure and the search for freedom in a complex and fascinating afterlife, where angels and humans struggle to navigate their own weaknesses. 

Purgatory is in trouble. In a bureaucratic Astral existence where science, theology and utter confusion are entwined, something is preventing the dead from ascending.
