Blitz: Defenders of Holt by Julie Casey

-->Orion enjoys his uncomplicated life hunting deer and bison, using only his wits and extraordinary speed to run down his prey, until a girl of a different sort and the invasion of another tribe threaten to change his way of life forever.

Orion lives five centuries in the future, in a village called Holt on the Missouri river, in the middle of what used to be the United States of America. Life has drastically changed for the entire world after a series of solar superstorms destroyed the power grids, decreased the sun’s energy output, and plunged the Earth into an ice age. Three quarters of the Earth’s human population has been decimated, while many of those who survived have evolved into a race of people with superior genes. Orion belongs to one group of these evolved people called Tall Ones, possessing enhanced genes for strength, speed, and stamina, along with increased height. Sage, the girl he falls in love with, is a Brain, an evolutionary mutation that has greatly enhanced cerebral capacity. The Tall Ones and Brains have lived in unity, although rarely intermarrying, and have successfully used all the knowledge of science and history accumulated to date to make their simple, pastoral lifestyle comfortable and enjoyable. Yet, not all people have been so successful, and one such tribe, the Outliers, threatens to usurp Orion’s village and way of life from them.

Snippet Time

"He was still pondering this when Hyssop called for his daughter and Sage emerged from one of the back rooms. She approached him with a smile, which widened into a grin when she noticed his jaw drop open. This was not the same little girl Orion had known a few years ago. This was a beautiful young woman with the power to turn Orion’s world upside down. If he could’ve moved, he might have turned and bolted out the door.”

And a few fun Author Interview questions

1. Given unlimited resources, what would be your ideal writing environment?

Anywhere quiet. Although, I’ve never actually had a chance to write where it’s quiet so I’m not at all sure it would work. My mind might need the outside stimulation so that it can tune it out and focus on the writing. Who knows?

2. Where do you actually write?

At my desk in the kitchen amid all the household commotion of three homeschooled boys, numerous pets, cooking, laundry, etc. It’s a wonder any writing gets done at all. lol

Book Tour: Dancing to an Irish Reel by Claire Fullerton

Twenty five year old Hailey Crossan takes a trip to Ireland during a sabbatical from her job in the LA record business. While there, she’s offered a job too good to turn down, so she stays.

Although Hailey works in Galway, she lives in the countryside of Connemara, a rural area famous for its Irish traditional music. When Hailey meets local musician, Liam Hennessey, a confusing relationship begins, which Hailey thinks is the result of differing cultures, for Liam is married to the music, and so unbalanced at the prospect of love, he won't come closer nor completely go away.

And so begins the dance of attraction that Hailey struggles to decipher. Thankfully, a handful of vibrant local friends come to her aid, and Hailey learns to love a land and its people, both with more charm than she ever imagined.

Claire Fullerton is an award winning essayist, a magazine contributor, a former newspaper columnist, and a four time contributor to the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series. She hails from Memphis, Tn. and now lives in Malibu California. “Dancing to an Irish Reel” is her second novel.

SNIPPET:

I read somewhere that the entire story waiting to happen is contained within the first moment of contact. Perhaps this best explains the uncanny feeling that shot straight through me the first time I laid eyes on Liam Hennessey. He sat holding an accordion upon his knee, lovingly fingering its round, black buttons. With subtle gestures: the nod of his head, the tap of his foot, a swift indiscernible glance, he set the pace for the other musicians on stage as if by telepathy. For some inexplicable reason, I felt familiar with his dark, good looks: black Irish, as the locals say, and the feeling absolutely haunted me. I stood trying to recall when I had ever been so intrigued with the look of a stranger. He had an almost feminine beauty: tall and graceful with straight, jet-black hair and dark eyes beneath thick brows like etchings on porcelain. His face was pensive and defined, with a transported gaze as if he were peering beyond the room and into another world. I couldn’t shake the feeling I’d either seen him somewhere before, or perhaps presciently, would see him somewhere in the near future. For a few days afterwards, the image of the accordion player sprang to me unbidden, for he was that memorable. Then, as you do, I put him in the back of my mind and carried on with the rhythm of my life in Ireland.
