Visit the other participants on the list and read, critique and comment on their 8sunday posts I've been sharing from my current WIP The Tree of Life and as a reward I have a you're seeing it here first reward! What do you think of my first view of the cover?! Are Kirin and Rio metaphysical god-like material? I hope so! Rio's A Hero With A Thousand Faces and then some! In the meantime...enjoy Kirin's POV of mommy dearest's impression of her soon to be love interest...poor Rio didn't make a very good first impression. “What he said is not the issue. Sekhmet was going to hunt them down eons ago. They’d already be where they belong in the underworld like the rest of the experimental abominations the ancients created, but no, you said to let them go because they were successes not mistakes. Metaphysical god-like hybrids, worthy of life, you called them.” Osiris reached toward her and Isis threw her hands up and turned away from his attempt to offer an apology. She swept across the room, pacing past pillar after pillar. Her temper escalated if the small statue that flew off the stand she walked by was any indication. Kirin let her breath out and set her plate on the table, all thought of familiar sweets forgotten. Never, in all her life, had she ever imagined that another being would have the bravery, let alone the power to stand against her mother single-handedly. Even her brothers sought the conspiratorial aid of siblings against her legendary wrath whenever possible. I hope you enjoyed this week's snippet that I posted for Elizabeth. That sure is one pretty cover. I wonder what that big kitty is doing in my back yard? It sure does look like Sedona... Be sure to visit all the other wonderful Weekend Writing Warriors and #Snippet Sunday authors!--Hudson, off to ask Elizabeth if that is Sedona and if that big kitty is our neighbor!

Thanks, Jessica. I am always so nervous to get new covers. My daughter came for a surprise visit from MI to see me here in AZ and took me on a fabulous vaca to Sedona--for HER BD!--the setting pictured in the background, which is one of the settings in this novel, so it's really close to my heart...

Her anger comes through clearly and I can see why Kirin would be intrigued by Rio. Great snippet!

Lovely cover! I enjoyed the pacing, the pillars and the statue illustrating the place and her mood.

Hmm. One angers a god at one's own risk. Hope this turns out okay.

Random destruction of property is, of course, the way to express your anger. Hope this doesn't end badly!

Really great cover, and a fun blurb. Very interested in these "god-like hybrids". Can't wait to read more.

Enjoyed the snippet. I could really feel her anger! And that cover is absolutely GORGEOUS!

Awesome snippet! And I LOVE the cover! Love the statue flying off for the indication of her temper, and the sibling reference when facing her wrath. I'm not sure I want to see this woman REALLY angry now. Okay, wait, maybe I do just for the tension and drama. Interesting concept of how they came about though with this shapeshifting ability.
