I read Hearts of Sand by Jamie Lynn Dougherty. I am not a vampire reader, but I loved this and can't wait for the next book in the series. Well written and kept me captivated. This was probably the fastest book I have ever read. Again...AWESOME!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down! August 29, 2013

By Heidi Hines

Trinity Pierce is a "blend into the woodwork" girl due to her mother's constant belittling of her. She's in college when she meets the dark and mysterious Vlad. Her encounter with him changes her life forever. Then add Arsen, her personal assistant, to the mix and you have a fascinatingly complex story that is difficult to put down.

I'm so glad I read this story and will be reading more of Jamie Dougherty's books.

Read in August, 2013

Amazing story, I could not put it down and actually stopped in the middle of JD Robbs Time of Death to read this. Eagerly anticipating a series with this storyline by this author whom I consider an amazing artist and author. Now I need to know where is Aurel, has he met the true death, and Sorin, is he secure. What does the future hold for Trinity, Arsen and Vlad? Things I must know, lol, soon I hope.

This review is from: Hearts of Sand (Trinity Pierce) (Kindle Edition)

Read this delightful book in 1 sitting. Couldn't put it down. So it's now midnight and I'll be getting next to no sleep & it's worth it!
A heroine that's strong, opinionated and has a self esteem problem. Add 2 gorgeous vampires fighting for her affection while trying to save the day and you have a recipe for a great book!

New Release!!!

Hearts of Sand is finally being released. I decided to release it independently and I can't wait for you all to read it! It is the first of a new series.

It is currently available in ebook on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Print will be available soon.

Trinity Pierce goes from mousy book worm to vampire royalty. Hired by her creator to search for a very powerful vampiric artifact, she finds that she might actually be what everyone is after. She won't be without help, her personal assistant Arsen lends his hand in more than just her professional business and Vlad who funds her expedition hopes for more than just his artifact.

A book full of excitement, romance, and a touch of humor. Follow Trinity as she goes on a wild goose chase to find a vampiric artifact that might be more Roma myth than archeological fact. But will it ever matter as much as the two men who are willing to help her?

"Matters of the heart slip through our fingers quicker than sands in an hour glass"

Back to Blogging

It's been well over a year since I had the time to commit to my blog. I've had a few stories in the works (among other commitments) that felt more important than my ramblings here BUT I feel its necessary to keep this thing up to date.

First off I have been included in a giveaway going on all month long and if you  go------> HERE you will find all of the details :)

 

Next I have released a shifter short story with Bayou Brew Publishing--in their anthology Soul Games. The book can now be found in ebook and in print on Amazon.com. The story is about a woman battered and bruised by a tarnished marriage. She is thrust into the world of the paranormal when she discovers she is more than mere human. 

I have been expanding on the short and hope to have a full novel out by the end of summer. I also have another book slated to come out later this summer called Hearts of Sand. You can now add it to your book list on Goodreads.com. The story has been seen by a few readers already and it's received a great response. 

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy.

Finally!!!

It's finally going to print. Grammar, spelling, and structure have been looked at and I hope it now reads smoother. A few details have been fixed and now all of it is being bound into pages that will hopefully be enjoyed. I am currently working on the second installment and having this one finished (as finished as it's going to get lol) I can write without worrying about the first book. I have so many ideas of how I want the series to go. I just hope the readers agree with where I want it to go ;) I love the characters and want them to have happy endings. Getting there might be messy, gut retching and sad but somehow they all make their way to the end.

Here is what the printed cover will look :) Keep your eyes out for giveaways in the coming weeks. We will have signed copies, bookmarks, and other fun swag.

I receive the proof Tuesday!! And if everything looks good it will be available for purchase!

Have a fun and safe Halloween

Trent

Trent

A man of many secrets, Trent was sent to protect Samantha and would do anything to see to her safety and well being. He's built like a truck and looks like an Irish warrior. His eyes no matter what color can make you forget the meaning of time. He could make a woman's heart skip a beat and a man's ego go down the drain. He's your ultimate hero but has flaws that make you want him even more. Take a look at "The Guardian's Kiss" to see if he gets the girl, saves the day, and reveals his secrets. " I reached my hand out to touch the soft down of his wings. He shuttered under my touch with a sense of pure satisfaction. He steadily unfolded his wings, the left one caressed my skin and sent a wave of serenity over me. I laid back against the bed to take in the full affect of his wing's presence. He stretched his wings out to their full span and a lacy veil spread over my body. He furled them back into place and they slowly shimmered back into oblivion. All that was left behind was his intricate translucent tattoo. "~ Sam about Trent

Samantha the Heroine

I'd like to start sharing a little bit about my characters with you and I figured what better way than to start with my main girl Sam. What can I say she's smart as a whip and as gorgeous as any down to earth girl could be. She's been told she smells like honeysuckle and has eyes,that are warm and rich like blue velvet. Her long brown hair is the color of caramel and will catch any man's attention. She has a birthmark that becomes a little inconvenient out in public but packs one hell-of-a wallop, which comes in handy when fighting Eaters, Fallen, and stupid men. She always wanted to become a doctor and was headed there until her younger sister had become infected with a virus, after that her world went a tilt. She meets a handsome soldier, Trent, who turns out to be more than just her knight in shining armer. She also has to put up with a Skin Walker who might just be as important to her as Trent. Her twin sister Barbra is all she has left in this world and would lose part of herself if anything happened to her. She may except help from others but she ultimately takes care of herself. Her powers might just be what is needed to save the human race. Read "The Guardian's Kiss" to see where Samantha's destiny takes her.

If you hang around GoodReads would love to meet you over there :) Stay tuned... Jamie D.
