Stolen Time
Angela Rae Harris: Stories of Hope ~ Creating Dreams
The debut novella by Author Angela Harris
Tragedy
has made Keaira wise beyond her twenty years. Forced to work for the
General, a commanding man who blackmailed his way into her life, she
was ordered to study self-defense and master knife throwing. In the
hidden community of Shifters, falcons are considered weak, a fact which
may ultimately save her life. To escape his cruelty, she will need to
call
upon her quick-witted falcon side, but the General has other plans – ones which involve his only son, Carson.
When unexpected feelings form between Keaira and Carson, the General quickly moves his pieces into place, launching his quest to take over the world. If she wants to survive, Keaira must stay one step ahead in the General’s deadly game and discover his weaknesses. Even if it means risking her life and the lives of those she cares about most.
With war on the horizon, sides are being drawn. Deadly secrets must be exposed. Time is running out for Keaira and all of mankind.

Excerpt #1:
Carson stuffed
his hands into his front pockets to keep from touching her.
“Then maybe a
movie?” After he said it, he felt his lips slip into a half smile.
Keaira laughed,
and her eyes brightened.
“My first night
back isn’t going to be spent in an uncomfortable chair, staring at
a screen. Not being allowed to move or talk.”
Carson chuckled.
She was turning out to be unlike any girl he had met.
“Then let’s
hear your ideas.”
Stepping closer,
Keaira raised her eyebrows. Her tongue darted out to moisten lips that
had turned serious. She had to tilt her chin up to look at him by the
time she stopped in front of him.
“I say we go
to my favorite sports pub and have dinner. I know for a fact that there
is a baseball game on tonight.”
She was so close
Carson could smell mint on her breath. He closed his eyes for a minute
and was greeted by his other half. His young mountain lion was calmly
sitting in the darkness of his subconscious. Carson had inherited his
family’s Shifter genes. He could change into the large cat at will.
His kitty let out an irritated huff and circled before lying down with
his back to Carson. Apparently, the cat wasn’t interested in Keaira.
He didn’t raise any alarms, so Carson took that as a “do what you
want” kind of message.
Opening his eyes,
Carson refrained from leaning into Keaira. He met her gaze and then
scanned her face. She stole his breath away when she bit down on her
lower lip. Freckles dotted her cheeks and her nose, making her look
more innocent than she acted. A striped white mark was visible just
under her left eye. It was so white it could have been an old scar.
Four lines that looked like a bird track in the white sand that was
her pale skin. He felt his fingers ball up into fists in his pockets.
The urge to feel how soft her skin must be was overwhelming.
Days of Thankful
Since Thanksgiving is around the corner I decided
to do a fun post to reflect the season. I have many things to be thankful
for in my life. Most of them, I’m sure, you hear quite often. I don’t
know what I would do without my family and friends. For this post, however,
I put a twist on things.
Here you are: Five odd things I’m thankful for.
5) Pumpkins – Not only are they fun to put
holes in and make faces, but they make two of my favorite seasonal foods:
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin pie. Plus, I love the way
they smell.
3) Socks – This coming from the girl who wears
flip-flops until October. I do like to pull out my socks though. I have
Christmas socks, those fuzzy socks that are really warm and really high
tube socks that are great to wear with boots.
2) Eye Brow Pencil – Yes, eye brow pencil.
Even on days when I don’t wear make-up (which is often) I use my pencil.
Why? It helps hide the scar I have that cuts right through my right
eye brow.
1) Growing Up in a Small Town (well, several small
towns) – I grew up moving all over Emery and Carbon counties in Utah.
The smallest town I lived in was Elmo, population 350 and I graduated
high school while living in Price, population 7,967. Nothing tones your
social skills like moving every two years. I met some great people and
still keep in touch with most of my friends. I also think that living
in a small town expands your creativity. In Price the nearest mall was
an hour away, so most summer nights were spent playing “cops and robbers”
from one end of town to the other. I will always be thankful for the
people I’ve met, the friends I’ve made and the experiences I had
in those small towns.
Thank you for hosting me today for Stolen Time’s
blog tour. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I would love to
see your comments with something odd that you are thankful for.
