BLURB FOR
LOVE’S BATTLE- ANGELA HAYES
Love Howard
has more than a knack for matchmaking. Born from a forbidden passion and a
twelve-hundred-year-old promise, she and her sisters can literally see true
love. And while Love has no problem bringing other couples together, her own
romantic life could use a little help.
Danton
DeAngelo has always been well grounded in reality. So it throws him for no
small loop when the woman he’s fallen for believes that she’s been reincarnated
eleven times and can actually see true love.
Now Danton
is faced with the biggest decision of his life. Accept Love for who she really
is, or walk away from her forever.
EXCERPT FOR
LOVE’S BATTLE- ANGELA HAYES
The hand
Love pressed to her brow was visibly shaking. “There’s something I need to tell
you. I just need you to keep an open mind.”
“What is
it? Are you sick?” Danton asked.
“No, I’m
not sick.” Her voice trembled on a forced laugh. “It’s something else.
Something I‘ve been trying to prepare you for. This would be so much easier if
you believed in magic. If you could believe that what I’m about to tell you is
the honest truth.”
Turning,
Love opened the iron chest, the hinges groaning with the effort as specks of
rust littered the floor. From its depths she pulled out a clear plastic bag
that she held tight to her chest, eyes closed, before handing it to a confused
Danton.
“This is my
tartan, my plaid. Before it faded and
was dinner for the moths, it was once patterned in checks of green, gray, and
brown. The purple and white stripes that ran through the hem identified the
wearer as part of the royal family.” Love tapped the plastic, her finger
pointing out where each color should be. “It was a gift from my father. The
first and only time my sister’s and I met him, he was on his deathbed, we were
eighteen. A week later our mother died in the same moment he drew his last
breath.” Needing the extra air Love drew a breath of her own. “That day was the
thirteenth of February, eight-hundred and fifty-eight AD. My father was Cinaed
mac Alpin, crowned king of the Picts and Gaels. He was Scotland’s first king.”
“Eight-
hundred and fifty-eight?” That couldn’t be right, she was only twenty-five.
“Don’t you mean Nineteen-eighty-seven?”
“No. I was
born for the first time in Scotland during the middle of the ninth century.”

"If love isn't worth fighting for, what is?"
Hi Tricia, thanks for having me on today. You've got a great site and I loved The Witch's Thief. Can't wait to read your other two.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Angela! You're very kind! And thank you for participating in the spotlight on my blog! You're always welcome here! :)
DeleteThis is Larry again as CottonSr. Loved the blogpost and also the trailer. Angela, I'm looking to get a grad student here at A&M to take me as a project to do a trailer. But can you advise me how you did yours. i read all your acknowledgments and all, but if we could also speak English about this. I would want this for my book out now you just blogged about my adventures in the Philippines where I was there for the People's Power revolution that overthrew Ferdinand Marcos from power. etc. it includes a love story too, of course.
ReplyDeleteHi Larry, for me, doing the trailer was fairly easy. You can find plenty of tutorials on Google and I encourage you to do some research on the subject. I'm sure their articles can explain it better than I can, but here's what I did.
DeleteFirst I drew up a storyboard- outlining the type of pictures I wanted and the order I wanted them to go. Next, I found the photos I needed (this was the most time consuming part. The ones I used came from www.freedigitalphotos.net, then I found the music. When I had all my parts together I used my Windows Movie Maker to put them in order, adjusted the amount of seconds I wanted each one to show for, and finally set the music to align with the time frame of the slideshow. In all, I probably spent a couple of hours fiddling and adjusting until it was perfect. The last step was to publish it to youtube and voila- Book Trailer. I hope this helps and isn't to convoluted.
I really enjoyed putting it together. The whole time I was working on it, I pretended I was a movie producer :)
Fantastic excerpt! Sounds like a great read. I have it, now if I could just find some 'me' time to read it! Beautiful cover. Love the premise. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stooping by Alicia. Tamra Westberry did an amazing job on the cover. It was like she reached into my mind and brought it into reality. So glad to be in your TBR pile. Let me know what you think when you're done.
DeleteThis book is so much fun to read! Can't wait to read Faith and Hope's story!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, thanks for stopping by. I'm so glad you enjoyed Love's story. Right now I'm hard at work on Faith's and Hope's. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.
