BLOODSTONE
2011 Launching a Star Winner
in Fantasy Romance, The Wild Rose Press
What
if looking at the face of the man you loved meant death?
Years ago, warrior Durren Drakkonwehr
was cursed by a mage. Now feared and reviled as the Shadow Man, he keeps to
himself, only going to town to trade rare bloodstones—petrified dragon's
blood—for supplies. Though he hides his face, he can't hide his heart from the
woman who haunts his dreams...
Needing bloodstones for a
jewelry commission, Mirianna and her father journey across the dreaded Wehrland
where the beast-men roam. When their party is attacked, only the Shadow Man can
save them. Strangely drawn to him, Mirianna offers herself in return for
her father's rescue.
Living in the ruined
fortress with the Shadow Man, Mirianna slowly realizes that a flesh-and-blood man, not a fiend hides there in
hoods and darkness. But are love and courage enough to lift the curse and
restore the man?

Helen C. Johannes
lives in the Midwest with her husband and grown children. Growing up, she
read fairy tales, Tolkien, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Agatha Christie,
Shakespeare, and Ayn Rand, an unusual mix that undoubtedly explains why the
themes, characters, and locales in her writing play out in tales of love and
adventure.

Thanks for the great spotlight, Mary!
ReplyDeleteIt's my pleasure! Love your take on why you read romance.
DeleteWhat's next for you?
I'm working on a sequel to my first book, THE PRINCE OF VAL-FEYRIDGE. This is Naed's story, and I'm discovering I left him with a load of baggage he has to deal with now. Not to mention some enemies--known and unknown--and a headstrong fiancee who's quite adept with a sword.
ReplyDeleteOooh!! I've been wanting a sequel to Val-Feyridge. Can't wait :)
