The Alchemy of Summer
By Laura Bickle

Summer is some weird alchemy.

The sun shines fully upon where I stand in North America, chasing away the short, grey days of winter. I can expect a full twelve hours of glorious sunshine. I’m awoken by birds and go to sleep when the frogs and cicadas do. It’s buzzing and teeming with life, light, and sultry green plants.

The seasons have their own alchemy and magical associations that mimic the ebb and flow of life. I use the Tarot a good deal in my work, and those correspondences are present every time I shuffle the deck.

Take fall. Fall is tied to cups, water, blue skies and oceans that mirror that blue. Fall is associated with water, with tides of emotions. I tend to fall in love in autumn, more than any other season. I also associate writing with school (which always began in fall), and try to participate in National Novel Writing Month in November. It helps keep my mind
off of shortening days and draining daylight. But the daylight eventually wanes, and I find that my work creeps along. It changes, even as the fields go fallow.

Winter is often associated with swords, with grey days and ice queens, with the element of air. Air traditionally corresponds with winter, with movement of the mind and intellect. I can incubate some pretty good writing ideas in winter, when the snow’s on the ground and night falls fast…well, when I’m not tempted to go to bed early and hibernate.

Spring belongs to pentacles, to earth and things that flower. It’s the smell of freshly-upturned earth in a garden, the smell of cherry blossoms, the shaking off of snow. It’s about planting and cultivating new possibilities, prosperity. I’m an optimist in spring.
After the sluggishness of winter, I’m ready to implement the new ideas I dreamed about while I was hibernating in winter.

Summer is the season of wands. Wands are associated with the power of creation, with fire. The sun blazes down on a green and verdant earth at the peak of its power. The grass is warm under my bare feet, and I luxuriate in being able to hang laundry outside.

I write a lot about fire, and I was born in summer, so it’s not surprising that it’s my favorite. I love the light, the shimmer of heat on pavement, everything about it. I look forward to driving with my windows down, letting the wind scrape through my hair. I
love wearing sandals and painting my toes.

Most of all, I enjoy writing during summer. It feels like it did when I was back in school, scribbling on summer vacation. This time of year, I’m usually juggling more than one project in summer, watching drafts ripen along with the tomatoes in the backyard.

Everything is lush, bursting with sweetness. And I find that it’s the best time for me to create.

How does summer affect of your creative projects?

Do you read more in summer?

Read different things?

Or is another season your favorite?

EMBERS
By Laura Bickle
Anya Kalinczyk #1
Pocket Juno Books
Mass Market Paperback, $7.99
ISBN: 978-1439167656
April 2010

“One of the most promising debut novels I’ve read in a great while… I’d highly recommend this book to anybody who reads fantasy. It reminds me in many regards…of another exceptional first novel…Emma Bull’s seminal War for the Oaks, and there’s not much higher praise that I can give.” —Elizabeth Bear on Tor.com

Unemployment, despair, anger--visible and invisible unrest feed the undercurrent of Detroit's unease. A city increasingly invaded by phantoms now faces a malevolent force that further stokes fear and chaos throughout the city.

Anya Kalinczyk spends her days as an arson investigator with the Detroit Fire Department, and her nights pursuing malicious spirits with a team of eccentric ghost hunters. Anya--who is the rarest type of psychic medium, a Lantern--suspects a supernatural arsonist is setting blazes to summon a fiery ancient entity that will leave the city in cinders. By Devil's Night, the spell will be complete, unless Anya--with the help of her salamander familiar and the paranormal investigating team --can stop it.

Anya's accustomed to danger and believes herself inured to loneliness and loss. But this time she's risking everything: her city, her soul, and a man who sees and accepts her for everything she is. Keeping all three safe will be the biggest challenge she's ever faced.

DARK ORACLE
Delphic Oracle #1
Pocket Juno Books
Mass Market Paperback, $7.99
ISBN 978-1439182796
June 2010

DARK ORACLE is a scientific, paranormal read that takes readers on a wild chase. A subtle romance lends to the entertainment this read offers. Tara is a strong female who has many stories till waiting to be told. An interesting new series that is not quite like anything else! (4 stars) -RT Book Reviews

Can an oracle change the future she sees?

Tara Sheridan swore off criminal profiling years ago. By combining Tarot card divination with her own intuition, she narrowly escaped the grasp of a serial killer who left her scarred for life. She put down her cards and withdrew from work and society. Now, Sophia, a member of an ancient secret society connected to the mythic Delphic Oracle, asks Tara to find a missing scientist who has unlocked the destructive secrets of dark energy. Tara resists— she fears reawakening her long-buried talents and blames Sophia’s Daughters of Delphi for the death of her mother. But, grudgingly, she agrees to search for the missing scientist, Lowell Magnusson.

Tara travels to Las Alamos National Laboratory, the location of Magnusson’s disappearance. She meets the serious, impatient, and highly attractive Agent Harry Li— and re-encounters her old partner, Richard Corvus. Corvus is now chief of the Special Projects Division, a position Tera might have held, had she not dropped out of investigative work. Corvus considers Tara mentally imbalanced and not to be trusted—but it may be Corvus who is untrustworthy.

Tara’s investigation and Tarot cards tell her Magnusson’s daughter, Cassie, may hold the key to her father’s plans, and that they both are in grave danger. Meanwhile, Corvus and the Daughters of Delphi have their own plans...and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Author Guest Post & SIGNED “Rogue Oracle” Giveaway w/ Alayna Williams!

The Internet Never Sleeps

by Alayna Williams

The internet never sleeps...and by extension, neither do writers.

Well, most of us.

I was at an appearance recently with a couple of other authors and artists to talk about trying to make a living from art. Many folks in the arts, such as musicians and gallery owners, spoke about the importance of having an online presence. Facebook, Twitter, and blogs were essential to booking performances and doing business. I agreed - if you have something to sell, you'd better get hustling online.

It's true that many book buyers (myself included) love to browse bookstores for new titles. I love the feel of wandering through the aisles of a book store, looking at the cover art, reading the backs of books, plucking up something shiny that catches my eye. I can't remember the last time I left a bookstore empty-handed. It's all about discovering a nugget tucked away in the shelves, a scavenger hunt.

But, as the recent news with Borders has shown us, there will be fewer and fewer bookstores for us to browse in the future. That makes me very unhappy...I love the tactile experience of being surrounded by books. For me, it's not the same to go into a store that's not a BOOKSTORE to buy books...mostly, I can expect to see recent bestsellers. But I don't discover many hidden surprises that way...I don't find many debut authors or titles from anyone's backlist. The selection is pretty limited.

Which means I must go online to find books. That's fine if I know exactly what I want...if I'm searching for a very specific title that I'm unable to find in a bookstore. But I lose a lot of that ability to browse.  While recommendation algorithms are getting better and better - and I do find some gems there - it's not the same as petting the books in person.

Still, this is the way of the future. Many, many good things come from the internet - I've received wonderful e-mail from folks who read my books and formed lasting friendships. I've found my last several jobs on the internet. Heck, I even found my husband on an internet dating site. I am a big fan of teh intertubes.

I've been able to "meet" readers from all over the world through the internet through blogs like this one. I'm always excited to get the chance to be invited onto someone's screen for a few minutes, to hear about what people are reading, buying, and what they're up to. 

And there are infinite places for writers to visit online: book blogs, sites that estimate sales down to the hour, Twitter, Facebook, online bookstores, libraries, review sites...it can be wonderful. It's easy to get lost in the forest of Online, chatting  with folks and learning new things. I can blog about what I had for lunch or Tweet about yesterday's airing of Justified. Whenever I logon to Yahoo or MSN, there are always people I love to chat with. And e-mail...let's not discuss the 2,018 unread messages I have in my inbox (the vast majority from purveyors of fine potions promising to enlarge penises or inform me that I have won the Swiss lottery for the fiftieth time).

But there's a drawback...and that's the finite resource of time. Before I know it, I can look up at my window, and the sun's set. I've managed to spend a day glued to my computer screen, typing away...and have not written a word for the manuscript I'm working on.

It's a balance, one that I'm still figuring out. I'm very tempted to stay glued in front of the glowing screen.  But, sooner or later, I have to disable my network card and start writing.

Or else I won't have any books to talk about.

Blurb for ROGUE ORACLE:

The more you know about the future, the more there may be to fear.

Tara Sheridan is the best criminal profiler around - and the most unconventional. Trained as a forensic psychologist, Tara also specializes in Tarot card reading. But she doesn't need her divination skills to realize that the new assignment from her friend and sometime lover, Agent Harry Li, is a dangerous proposition in every way.

Former Cold War operatives, all linked to a top-secret operation tracking the disposal of nuclear weapons in Russia, are disappearing. There are no bodies, and no clues to their whereabouts. Harry suspects a conspiracy to sell arms to the highest bidder. The cards - and Tara's increasingly ominous dreams - suggest something darker. Even as Tara sorts through her feelings for Harry and her fractured relationships with the mysterious order known as Delphi's Daughters, a killer is growing more ruthless by the day. And a nightmare that began decades ago in Chernobyl will reach a terrifying endgame that not even Tara could have foreseen…

Rogue Oracle

*contains MINOR spoilers if you haven’t read Dark Oracle.

I was so very pleasantly surprised by Dark Oracle back in 2010, that I couldn’t wait to read the second book in the series, Rogue Oracle. I have to say that not only the cover of this sequel is a million times better than the first, but Rogue Oracle has definitely met most of my expectations.

After the events of Dark Oracle, Tara has been living at the farmhouse that is the headquarters of the Daughter’s of Delphi and being a mentor to Pythia to be, Cassie. The only reason Tara hasn’t left yet is Cassie, because she is more than sick and tired of Amira’s underhanded and dubious methods of training Cassie to be the next leader of the Oracles.

Not only that, but Tara has been feeling the separation from Harry Li. After finding each other in Dark Oracle, Harry has been away for work for the past few months and the distance has seriously damage their new found relationship.

When Harry shows up while Tara is doing some freelance work, to ask for help is a weird case, they find themselves thrown together on the track of a monster neither has ever encountered before and discovering that they need each other much more than they thought.

I really enjoyed the plot of Rogue Oracle, it was creepy, scary and definitely kept me interested from start to finish. The only that bothered me in the novel was that I needed more dialogue, communication between Harry and Tara. I kept waiting for a moment where they would get to talk and solve some things between them, but it never came.

I mean, it felt like their relationship was dealt with in a very subtle way. Don’t get me wrong, subtle is good, but it was too subtle for me perhaps. We as readers got to see into each of their minds and see how they felt about each other, but I missed a moment where they actually said those things to each other.

Regardless of all that, I felt that Rogue Oracle was a great book, but sort of transitional for the series. There is much that was a build up for the future, Cassie’s role as the Pythia and the introduction of new characters, which I loved btw. I want more of this series! Alayna write such interesting villains and plots that you can’t help but be captivated. I can honestly say I’ve never read the kind of plot she writes in Urban Fantasy before and that is awesome.

If you are an Urban Fantasy lover like me, you should totally give this series a shot, but please read Dark Oracle first, you won’t regret it!

Lala’s Book Corner: Dark Oracle by Alayna Williams

 

 

“TARA SHERIDAN HAS A GIFT . . . AND IT ALMOST KILLED HER.

As a criminal profiler, Tara used science and her intuitive skill at Tarot card divination to track down the dangerous and depraved, including the serial killer who left her scarred from head to toe. Since that savage attack, Tara has been a recluse. But now an ancient secret society known as Delphi’s Daughters has asked for her help in locating missing scientist Lowell Magnusson. And Tara, armed with her Tarot deck, her .38, and a stack of misgivings, agrees to try.

Tara immediately senses there is far more at stake than one man’s life. At his government lab in the New Mexico desert, Magnusson had developed groundbreaking technology with terrifying potential. Working alongside the brusque but charismatic agent Harry Li, Tara discovers that Magnusson’s daughter, Cassie, has knowledge that makes her a target too. The more Tara sees into the future, the more there is to fear. She knows she has to protect Cassie. But there may be no way to protect herself—from the enemies circling around her, or from the long-buried powers stirring to life within. . . .”

Dark Oracle

I just can’t get enough of Urban Fantasy and Dark Oracle is a great addition to the genre. With great touches of Paranormal Romance, Alayna Williams introduces us to a world where the occult meet science and anything is possible.

Tara is an oracle, as was her mother before her. But ever since her since losing her mom to cancer and watching her give into the disease without a fight and suffering some scars of her own, Tara has shut herself out from the world and the Delphi’s Daughters, of which her mother had been a part of.

After years in isolation, an old friend asks Tara to go back to her old life as a criminal profiler to help find a man that the Delphi’s Daughters have predicted to be important for all their futures.

Harry Li is a CIA agent that has been assigned to work with Tara. He is drawn to her immediately but being a man of science, has trouble with dealing with her more supernatural connections.

Tara is a scarred woman, afraid of living after being hurt. Harry is there when she needs him and their connection is instant if a bit hesitant. They make a great couple and even though they have a lot of differences, they are willing to fight for their feelings.

Dark Oracle is a fast-paced. action-packed, character driven story that got me gripping at the edge of my seat from start to finish. Evil plots meet scientific experiments and the supernatural in a great adventure.

Even though I love my Shifters and will always be a Vamp fan girl, It’s great to encounter an Urban Fantasy novel / series that stray from that beaten path and gives something new to read about. Alayna Williams has definitely accomplished that in spades and I recommend Dark Oracle to any Urban Fantasy lover out there.
