Spread the word, share the love, warriors. Twitter hashtag #8sunday. I've been posting from The Tree of Life, and last week Rio has just arrived home in Sedona to secure the safety of his family. We'll go on from there... “Rio,” she said, rushing headlong into his arms to be swung around and then hugged close. “Seraphina, I’ve missed you,” he said, stepping back to take a look at her. Golden eyes, much like his own, glistened with excitement at their reunion and accentuated her sun-kissed skin. Her hair, darker than his, hung to her waist and held a mahogany sheen his keen eyes picked up even in the faint light provided by the open elevator door. “Stunning as ever. Am I in time to beat down any aggressive curs?” “Ever the big brother,” she countered, laughing. “Thank the stars you are home at last.” Her look sobered and she grew serious. “Trouble is coming, Rio. We are in terrible danger.” I hope you enjoyed the snippet I posted for Elizabeth today. I like the twisty trees in Sedona. They make me want to chase them, but I am too busy looking in the mirror right now. I went to the groomer today and if I do say so myself, I look very handsome. Elizabeth thinks it's a little short and asked me if I had joined the military. I posted her book trailer below. Stolen Secrets is now available on preorder (whatever that is)!

Nice hook - trouble's coming! Now I need to know what (or WHO) it is! I'm thinking I need a side trip to Sedona!

Great snippet! Not much time to enjoy his welcome home before they must prepare for the danger coming.

So much for rest and relaxation. I wonder if the danger she's talking about is the same one he's aware of.

Yes, it does suck to be under such stress in the relaxation capital!

I love the twisty trees too. Near my house there's a huge mesquite that's twisty. My oldest son called it the demon tree, and the name is appropriate.

I know, they're so cool! I have one in my back yard and it's got a "green man" mask on it that makes it look alive...!

That wasn't long to enjoy the reunion. But I'm guessing her news is important.

I wonder if the danger she's talking about is the same is his. If not, they're in for double the trouble now. If it is the same, however, I wonder how she found out.
