<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10.5pt;">
Two years
after escaping the duplicitous and sadistic Blake Sheldon, Daniella Kurtz' life
is finally back on track. With a damn hot boyfriend, Cruz Canton, who showers
her with kisses and gifts, she knew she was on the road to her happily ever
after.<br />
<br />
During a whirlwind romance, Cruz introduces Daniella to his longtime friends,
Meg and Falcon Landers. The foursome become best buddies, almost like family,
until a bittersweet moment changes everything.<br />
<br />
Concealing her doubts, Daniella is desperate to conceive a child for Cruz. She
turns to Meg and Falcon’s fertility clinic for help. Good news and happy
moments are short lived when love, lies and jealousy mix with her past, and
raise suspicion. Cruz withdraws emotionally and physically, leaving Daniella
fearful, confused, and alone.<br />
<br />
Daniella seeks answers, but the deeper she digs, the darker the secrets.
Deception and devastation envelop her. Alone and fighting for the truth, and
her life, she must confront the ultimate question: Whose child is she carrying?
And will she live to find out? </div>

<b>King David, Romantic Hero by Rachelle Ayala</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
If you’re looking for the perfect romantic hero, look no further than King David, the greatest king of Israel. A handsome charmer and yet, inherently good, a man after God’s own heart, David was a man of contradictions, a lover, a criminal, a poet, a warrior.<br />
<br />
Why was David, whose name means “beloved”, adored by swooning women everywhere? Let’s examine David’s character from a romantic point of view.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf8egRkfemqVbhFOzhgss6iPSLOpSLxILYEvYCQBwFFS1eqkjYrvHUBLLQqYze5ZDzKvWBLgw85A9rfpcqZcEr65wYE9FHkpm5wjhm126oyaCFK34BKcEHbrPOezORJYq3KP2ELUgcv8Ng/s1600/david-Guido-Reni-1620.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf8egRkfemqVbhFOzhgss6iPSLOpSLxILYEvYCQBwFFS1eqkjYrvHUBLLQqYze5ZDzKvWBLgw85A9rfpcqZcEr65wYE9FHkpm5wjhm126oyaCFK34BKcEHbrPOezORJYq3KP2ELUgcv8Ng/s320/david-Guido-Reni-1620.jpg" width="262" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>David the Rock Star</b><br />
It’s 1000 B.C. A handsome young musician tours the King’s Palace with his harp and soon, the entire capitol city is in love with him.<br />
<br />
Physical beauty is the hallmark of every romantic hero. Make it a basic requirement. But David wasn’t just looks. He was also the first rock star in history. A cunning player of the harp, his music wooed a princess, and calmed a mad king. He had a large following among the village women as well as the king’s own servants.<br />
<br />
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.<br />
<br />
As if being a rock star wasn’t enough, David was also a real hero. When danger threatened the nation, and men of war cowered in their sandals, David defeated the giant Goliath and won the princess’s hand. The people accorded him a hero’s welcome and upstaged their king. “Saul has killed a thousand, David ten thousands.”<br />

<br />
<b>David the Rogue</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Ah... but every romantic hero needs a flaw, something to further endear him to the reader. After all, who wants to read about Mr. Perfect Dudley Do-Right? And thankfully, David was also a bad boy. Oh yes!<br />
<br />
Forced from hero to outlaw by the king’s jealousy, David survived by his wit, grit, and appeal to women. His wife, the princess Michal, loses everything to aid his escape by lying to her father. Another woman, Abigail, literally falls at his feet, defying her husband and giving him food. Not surprisingly, David immediately offers marriage when Abigail’s husband conveniently passes away.<br />
<br />
Who doesn’t like their romantic hero with a few rough edges? David, the rogue, swindles the Philistine king out of a city by pretending to kill Israelites. After collecting women like seashells on a tropical beach, David becomes king and tears his first wife, Princess Michal, away from her second husband.<br />
<br />
A consummate alpha, David would not take the back seat to anyone. And herein again, is a trait for romantic heroes. Power, lust, and dominance.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D6rH0_Uj1RI/T4r-fO2nbzI/AAAAAAAAAUw/5C0l8mwgoSo/s1600/bathsheba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D6rH0_Uj1RI/T4r-fO2nbzI/AAAAAAAAAUw/5C0l8mwgoSo/s320/bathsheba.jpg" width="196" /></a><b>David the Romantic</b><br />
But, deep inside our hearts, we want our romantic heroes to be lovers, to have a soft side, and to become vulnerable to that one special woman. Is this possible with a man like David? A warlord with a burgeoning harem, a king who killed a man to take his wife?<br />
<br />
We turn to David’s psalms, the poetry he wrote to God. David was a romantic. He believed in the ultimate triumph of good over evil, and the love of God for a repentant sinner. He writes of his yearning for God in flowery language.<br />
<br />
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.<br />
<br />
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land.<br />
<br />
David had that winsome spirit, emotional and repentant. He swam in his bed of tears and cried out to God, sorry for his sins. Unable to forget his first love, he brought his princess back even after she had been a wife to another. He comforted his wife when her baby died, and at the end of his life, he told his son, Solomon, to love the wife of his youth.<br />
<br />
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>David in Michal’s Window</b><br />
David is the only man in the Bible that is recorded as being loved by a woman. This excerpt from Michal’s Window captures the kindling of that love:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8o1UxQMIEQfyE8obCBNjjhkqXsuT6I6K91leTMiONfA1OuZHjcjshIFw8sdG1A8JEu5zDkkYJC5NQ-c6rNLOpz7UbYN7nFOXzK5Wex329mZTHZmJZFRZN4z9Sts-sAXAjjSGscxXRgXI/s1600/Michal_Gustave_Dor%C3%A9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA8o1UxQMIEQfyE8obCBNjjhkqXsuT6I6K91leTMiONfA1OuZHjcjshIFw8sdG1A8JEu5zDkkYJC5NQ-c6rNLOpz7UbYN7nFOXzK5Wex329mZTHZmJZFRZN4z9Sts-sAXAjjSGscxXRgXI/s320/Michal_Gustave_Dor%C3%A9.jpg" width="266" /></a> “So you’re a man of peace. Very good. What about love? Do you wish for love?”<br />
He took my hand and traced my palm with his thumb.<br />
Oh, my soul. A thrill shot straight to my heart. A lone hawk screeched, banked and crested toward the tip of the disappearing light.<br />
“Tell me, Michal, have you ever been in love?” He raised my hand to his lips but dropped it without kissing it.<br />
Crickets serenaded the darkening sky with scratchy chirps, accompanied by the throaty croak of a persistent toad. I trembled, and David wrapped his arms around me. His scent pulsed hot with sandalwood, raking me with a newborn sense of longing. And his hands, oh, so firm, tightened around my waist, and his prayer shawl entangled my fingers, and his body, oh, the press of his body… made me want…<br />
<br />
Michal ended up sacrificing her comfortable life as princess, her relationship with her parents, and ultimately David, as she saves him from her father’s wrath and he escapes into the wilderness.<br />
<br />
<b>Is David Your Romantic Hero?</b><br />
<br />
Can you resist the magnetism of a man like David? Valiant, yet humble, comely, yet prudent in his manners, a mighty king, but inside, a boy who dreamed great things and loved the LORD God above all. How can any woman resist the sweet psalmist of Israel, the charismatic seducer, the powerful warrior-king? Rock star, Rogue, Romantic. There is a part of David that endears him to any woman’s heart.<br />

<span id="freeText1824860961367022898">Coming Spring 2012...<br />Michal, King David's first wife, competes with his kingdom while fighting temptation to gain his true love. <br /><br />Who wouldn’t want to be a princess married to the hero of the kingdom? Michal is one lucky gal. The daughter of King Saul, she gets everything she wants, including the young, handsome David who kills the giant, Goliath.<br /><br />But in one terrifying moment, Michal loses David by saving him from her jealous father. With David’s parting promise in her heart, she awaits his return.<br /><br />When he finally sends for her, David has become the king with a large harem of women. Michal’s jealousy spirals out of control when she rebukes David, the man after God’s own heart.<br /><br />Alone and abandoned, she fights her attraction to a dashing Philistine warrior while struggling to place her trust in God. When David is broken by the weight of his sins, Michal turns away from him.<br /><br />David's devotion to God causes him to make a decision that destroys Michal's family as well as his own heart. Can Michal recall her first love and accept David with all his faults and weaknesses?<br /><br />Michal’s Window is story of betrayal, forbidden love, and redemption. A work of fiction, it retells the tumultuous life of King David through the eyes of the woman who loved him first.<br /><br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br /><br />He finished and handed the harp to me, the frame still vibrating. His fingers toyed with my hair, and his warm breath caressed my face. His mouth drew near, eyes intent, seeking permission. Hesitant, my lips parted. Curious, my eyes closed. And his lips brushed the corners of my mouth, an invitation to taste, to touch, to hold. I accepted, and held my breath as his tongue slipped over mine. A flurry of tingles heated my face and trailed down to my toes. I clutched the harp, and I couldn’t move. Everything was possible, and the world was mine, and life was glorious. And at the center of it all was David.</span>LIFE IS . . .

"They said it was no big deal. The thing inside of me was just a blob of
nothing, just some tissue." She paused and drew imaginary circles on her sheet
with her index finger.<br />
<br />
Sixteen-year-old Maya Rockwell thought she'd take
care of it, quietly and efficiently. But everything exploded in one terrifying
moment, and Maya can no longer pretend to be ignorant. Revelations of her
friend's world of abuse, death, and disaster force Maya to brave the heat of
negative publicity and take a stand. Her privacy shattered, she faces her
family, friends and schoolmates, balanced on the crucial decision she must make
for herself and her unborn child.<br />

How hard do you have to shake a family tree
to find out the truth about the past?<br />
<div class="productDescriptionWrapper">
<br />
Fifteen-year-old Rae Kerrigan never
questioned her family’s history. That is until she accepted a scholarship to
Guilder Boarding School in England. Guilder is an exclusive, gifted school. Rae
has no idea what she is getting herself into or that her family’s past is going
to come back and taunt her. <br />
She learns she is part of an unparalleled
group of individuals who become inked with a unique tattoo (tatu) on their
sixteenth birthday. Both of her parents were inked, though Rae never
knew, as they passed away when she was young. Learning about her family's past,
her evil father and sacrificial mother, Rae needs to decide if there is a ray of
hope in her own life. </div>LIFE IS . . .

She is the cool author of

<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>Welcome to "FUN"
Interviews, Melisa. Please tell me about your book.</u></strong> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN">* Twenty Weeks is my debut novel.<br />* To
sum it up in less than twenty words: </span>An unplanned pregnancy. A friend's
devastation. Maya's life teeters on a single decision. Will she get a second
chance?</span><br />

</span>~From conception to deception~<b></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Daniella believed her life was on track. She was
married to the wonderful Cruz Canton who wooed her, charmed her and surprised
her with gifts and roses. He’d had something delivered to her workplace daily.
He didn’t give up until she finally agreed to go on a date with him. Sure, he
was handsome, delicious even. Okay! He was damn hot. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Meg and Falcon Landers, longtime friends of Cruz, and
now Daniella, were more like family. Trust was never an issue . . . or was it?
Daniella would soon learn the truth about the man who wooed her, the man she
loved, the man she once swore ‘til death do us part’ to. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">The beloved Cruz Canton. A man she no longer knew.
Friends she no longer knew. Daniella was left with disturbing questions—why? And
why now? They were finally pregnant. Their best friends were the reason she was
able to conceive Cruz’s much wanted child, but they were now the knife that
twisted in Daniella’s heart. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">Daniella wasn’t about to give up until she got the
answers she deserved to know. She’d get more than she bargained for and left
with a deeper, darker question. Who’s child was carrying?</span><br />

If any of y'all are having problems leaving comments, getting a message that says YOU ARE UNATHORIZED TO LEAVE COMMENTS UNDER THIS LOG-IN, then try this:<br />
<br />
LOG OUT, then before you log in again, UNcheck the little box that says 'Keep me signed in' !<br />
<br />
That worked for me! AFTER 4 days of getting so pissed off that I was about to delete my blogger account! ;) <br />LIFE IS . . . FICTIONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17196758731358804336noreply@blogger.com5
