Enjoy the teaser excerpt!


Hate can start a war, but a shattered heart can fuel it for centuries. 

Everything Ada does is wrong. She’s the daughter of a Duke but she isn’t proper or formal. She prefers the company of her servants—particularly Christian, the boy she’s loved since she was six years old, and his sister, Charity, Ada’s very best friend in the entire world.
Ada isn’t just the daughter of a Duke. No, she’s the daughter of one of the most powerful Edren sorcerers alive, and no matter how strong she is, it isn’t strong enough. Ada will give up almost everything to earn her father’s pride.
Christian has loved Ada since the day his mother became her governess. But two societies are determined to keep them apart—the aristocracy who say a groom will never be good enough for a Duke’s beautiful daughter, and the sorcerers who say a Carules and an Edren can never be together. Christian will do anything to make Ada his—even drive himself to madness.
When Ada suspects her father of hurting Charity and Christian in his quest for knowledge, she is torn between loyalty to him, and a fierce determination to protect them. The division tears her soul and breaks her heart.
The pieces of her broken heart will start a war that can only be stopped by the death of the most powerful warrior alive by the hand of the boy who loves her.

**Bonus Story –Feudlings in Peace**Join  Ari, Shane, Ada, Christian and everyone they love as they chase their happily ever after.


Excerpt:


He sprinted down the path, into the forest, leaping over huge rocks and tree roots and through streams he couldn’t see but his magic told him were there. He had no idea where he was going, but there seemed to be a tether from his heart to hers — he always knew where Ada was. He ran straight to them, nearly colliding with her father’s guards as he raced through the thick trees.
“What happened to her?” he bellowed, jerking Ada out of Davis’s bloodstained arms.
“She was hit, saving me,” Harrison answered. “Can you help her?”
If there had been time, any time at all, Christian would have paused at that. How exactly had his tiny little Ada saved the giant Harrison? But there wasn’t time. He laid her on the thick grass, searching for the wound. But there was so much blood.
“There!” Davis snapped, jabbing the air above her stomach.
Flames roiled across Christian’s hands and he held them above her, letting the flames soothe the skin before he tried to touch it. They swirled through the air, seeping and mending the broken, charred skin.
“Does she breathe?” Harrison asked, crouching close to put his face next to her mouth.
Christian ignored him. He didn’t care if she breathed or not.
She would breathe, or he would die with her.
“She does.” Harrison sat back, relieved.
“Can you not heal at all? Stop the blood flow from her shoulder!” Christian snapped.
Harrison gaped at him. “We’re Edren. We don’t heal.”
“I’m Carules and I can throw a lirik if need be,” Christian muttered under his breath, but he couldn’t argue with them now.
She moaned.
They all froze in shock, and then redoubled their efforts. Davis jerked his shirt off and held it to her shoulder while Christian’s blue flames leaped and danced from his hands, fighting the poison eating through her body.
“Christian. I knew—” she whispered as her skin healed, leaving only pink burns behind.
“Shhh. Don’t speak. You’re still very weak.” He moved from her stomach to her shoulder, pushing Davis’ shirt out of the way. It was stiff with dried blood and she shrieked when he ripped it from the wound. “Forgive me, dear one,” he whispered, his mouth near her temple, kissing the pain away. “Forgive me.”
“I knew… you would come. I knew you… could heal me.” Her eyes fluttered open, dazed with pain, dark orbs barely reflecting the moonlight.
“Always, Ada. Forever.”

A Perfect day for a Perfect book review! "Books to Get Lost In (previously Inside the World of Books)"



Ever have one of those days where the sky is just the perfect shade of blue and the air is the perfect temperature, and the trees are lit up with the perfect colors of fall? Well today was one of those days. A day that felt utterly and completely perfect... a day where I was asking myself how does it get any better than this. And then, I read a review for my novel FIRE & ICE by Meagan Weiss, a reviewer from the blog Books To Get Lost In and I realized just how much better my perfect day could actually get! It was a spectacular five star review. She also interviewed me, which was a ton of fun. Wanna know the craziest thing I've ever done in the name of research for a novel??? It's in there! As are Meagan's thoughts on the entire story.

Here is a snippet of her review:


Okay so not only did I absolutely and utterly fall in love with this book, but I need more. Like right now!!! And not only did I love the story line and characters and the entire world of Mythlandria and everything else about this book, but I want it as a movie!!! All I kept thinking through the entire book is how amazing this would be to watch. It's like Lord of the Rings meets Harry Potter meets Alice in Wonderland mixed with some awesomeness. And all I want to do is see what this world that Michele has created looks like.
I invite you to take a peek at the full 5 star review via the link below. And don't forget to join in the rafflecopter contest for some cool prizes including an Amazon gift card, becasue I mean who doens't love winning right!?

Have yourself a perfect day!

Lynelle Clark Review and Giveaway for "Fire and Ice"

FIRE & ICE just received an awesome review, take a peek here:

Lynelle Clark Aspired Writer: Review and Giveaway for "Fire and Ice" 

My 4 Star Review

I received this book from the touring host for an honest review.

A tale of magic, fairies's and every fantasy creature you could think of. Lorelei, a frightened young seventeen year old, struggling with stage fright and the fear of blood, soon discovered she had more to worry about then pestering cheerleaders and been called a freak. What set her apart was her healing ability just by touching a person, working in the Tea Room with all its interesting herbs that were actually healing the people without their knowledge. When she met Adruis she had no idea that her world was about to change, forever.

Will full, stubborn, determined, not listening to anyone, with one goal to safe her mother she lands in the land of Mythlandria.

She discovered whom she was as secrets are revealed and a prophecy unfolds taking her deeper into this land with his strange but fascinating life. Always at the run from something with Adrius always at her side. His character, steadfast, willing to risk it all for her as sacrifices are made and lives saved. The budding romance had resistance from the start with the Icy Witch claiming what was hers.

The epic story of good versus evil in a land of make believe, when truths were revealed, hearts were broken, and this mystical land became not so mystical anymore. With many twists and turns in the plot, the author captures your imagination, wondering if the day will be saved. An entertaining fantasy story for people who believe that fairies, magic and witches are real. Descriptive in her storytelling the author will keep you at the edge till the very last page.

Well written the story will pull you into the pages as scene upon scene unfolds with plenty of adventure and action waiting for her. The characters were well crafted and believable. At the end a great story.

Book Trailer for FIRE AND ICE

I love Savvy Authors website! There is without a  doubt enough information available there through their multitude of workshops and classes to never have to pick up another how-to writing book again. of course if you're like me with a voracious appetite for reading and writing, you will. Still, this site is invaluable to any would-be wanna-be and soon-to-be published author and even those who are already published. Seriously, it's golden! And if you get the opportunity check out Lori Wilde's class. She's a N.Y. Times best selling author who teaches and mentors you on your way to becoming a N.Y. Times Best Selling Author. Well, at least that's my intention while taking her class.





I took a workshop on making a book trailer (it's all the rage these days.) So for me this was like candy, dipped in chocolate...I love LOve LOVE anything to do with visuals. And now for your 2 minutes of viewing pleasure here are the results of that class. It was taught by Kris Tualla who critiques book trailers on youtube and offer suggestions on way to improve.

I welcome your comments. And stay tuned for the book that inspired it all!

Enjoy!!! (and turn up your speakers)
