About The Book:

The Sirens of Pacific Grove, California are being exterminated, and seventeen-year-old Loralei Reines is their next target. Lora may look like a normal teenager, but her voice has the power to enchant and hypnotize men. Like the other Sirens in her clan, however, she keeps her true identity a secret to protect their species.
 
Lora's birthright as the next clan leader seems far off, until the Sons of Orpheus, a vicious cult determined to kill all Sirens on Earth, begin exterminating her people. When an unexpected tragedy occurs, Lora must take her place as Guardian of the Clan. 

Lora is determined to gain control of her skills to help her clan, but they are developing too slowly, until she meets Ryan, a human boy. When Ryan is near, Lora's abilities strengthen. She knows she shouldn't be with a human. Yet, she can't resist her attraction to him, or the surge in power she feels whenever they're together. 

And the Sirens are running out of time. If Lora can't unlock the secret to defeat the Sons of Orpheus, she, along with everyone she loves, will be annihilated.

Voices of the Sea includes a rich history of Sirens. Mythology and modern life come together in this beautifully written book that draws the reader in from the first chapter.

Women On Writing Blog "The Emotion Thesaurus" Giveaway




The perfect reference book for the right emotion. Seventy-Five emotions to choose from! 


This morning the latest e-mail newletter from the gals at The Muffin greated me, along with a review of the book above. I always  run into a glitch trying to find the proper words to give emotion to my characters. Since I write personal memoirs, perhaps this book will put some zip in my own personality as I sit and write. Maybe it will carry over into my social life... just saying. I was so excited, I didn't wait to enter the giveaway, but hopped over to Amazon and purchased a copy. Check out the book for yourself, enter the giveaway, and sign up for their free newsletter!


One of my favorite sites for authors is WOW! Women On Writing. I signed up for a virtual blog book tour with them when The Unfaithful Widow launched in April 2010. They were a huge help in marketing my book. Check out my kick off interview and see what the site has to offer! Follow The Muffin online or sign up for their free e-mail newsletter!
