Healer's Destiny Media Blast and Massive Giveaway!!!

Welcome one and all to the Healer’s Destiny Media Blast! A blog tour and fantastic giveaway to celebrate this amazing new novel by the talented Julee F. Page. 

Below you can enter to win not only a $50 Amazon gift card just in time for the holidays, but also a copy of Healer’s Destiny, as well as lots of other great prizes from authors and bloggers (including a copy of Temptation). In total, there are 8 prizes to give away. That means 8 WINNERS!!!!



But first, I would like to introduce you to Julee F. Page!
Here's a little Q & A to get to know her better:

Q: Favorite color?  

A: Purple (surprise! haha).

That's my favorite color too! Unless we're talking clothes... then it's brown :)

Q: Do you have any pets?

A: A black lab/chow (chab chab) named Sam and a black house cat named Zee.They have actually grown to really care about each other and it is so sweet! My oldest son also has a frog that we raised from a tadpole (named Frog) and a gold fish to keep him company (named Fish). Isn't my little guy so original! My husband and I also had rats when we were first married (Prince and Scruffy), they are really smart and fun. Unfortunately they only lived about 2 years. We had to take down our cool tropical fish tank when we first moved into our current home because the excessive amount of sunlight it received kept the algae thriving too well and nothing we did helped for very long. 

Wow! And, I thought we had a lot of pets haha. I LOVE the names Frog and Fish!!!

Q: Favorite hobbies?

A: Besides the obvious reading and writing I also love to sing and cook. I might not be the best at singing or cooking, but they sure make me smile! 

That's great! I like to sing too ... quietly, alone, where NO ONE can hear me. Cooking ... not so much.

Q: Where is your favorite vacation spot?

A: I haven't been very many places, but a place I have always loved since I was a little girl is the west coast. Especially the beautiful scenery between Longbeach, WA and Tillamook, OR. There are a thousand places to camp or rent along there and I recommend anywhere closest to the water!

I haven't been many places either, but I've always wanted to see the west coast!

Q: What is your greatest ambition?

A: If I could ever become a full time writer I would feel so blessed! However, I am currently an RN and I absolutely love my work. I am blessed with a great career in a great company and may decide to some day further my education and get my Master's. Who knows, I may even decide to keep going and become a Nurse Practitioner! 

Good for you, busy lady! :)

Q: What is your favorite book?

A: The first response that comes to mind is, "I could no sooner choose a favorite star in the heavens!" -Drew Barrymore as Danielle in Ever After

That's is so true! It's impossible to choose just one.

Q: What inspired you to write Healer's Destiny?

A: I have been writing silly things ever since I was little and I love to let my imagination run away to where ever it pleases. Healer's Destiny started taking form right after the birth of my first son. As explained in "Sweet Baby Boy" I am in the habit of rocking my children to sleep. This habit probably formed because my first son was such a horrible and stubborn sleeper (or stay awaker). While I spent those long hours rocking him in the chair, trying to keep from getting frustrated, I would think about my fantasy worlds. Healer's Destiny was born! Every character was formed and every landscape took shape in that wonderful (and I swear ancient) rocking chair.   

Good thing he was such a stubborn sleeper then, otherwise we might never have gotten to read this wonderful book. :)

Congratulations on the book! And, thanks so much for taking the time to spend with us today!

Grab My Hand and Lets Make A Stand!

I am PROUD to have joined the Grab my hand- Indie Authors Against Bullying Photo Protest! 

A way for authors, bloggers, and bookaholics to unite against bullying. Bullying has ALWAYS been an issue, and I'm so glad to see people finally standing up together, and making it clear that it IS NOT okay! It is NEVER okay to berate someone else with cruel words, or actions for any reason.

This protest is sponsored by the amazing ladies of Sparring Stepsisters, and is being done with the hope of letting anyone out there who's being bullied know that they are not alone. That there are people who do understand, who do care, and who do want to make a difference for them and everyone like them.

If this is you, speak up, tell someone, and hang in there. I know how hard it can be. I've been there myself, trust me. It's the absolute truth. But, trust me on this too, it WILL get better.

If you would like to grab my hand and stand up to bullying with me, visit the Sparring Stepsisters site, and follow the instructions for printing out and photographing your protest image. Then, stand up with the rest of us, and say NO to bullying!

Our Own Worst Enemies

Zombies suck. Seriously. For the past year they’ve been making Callie’s life a living hell, and things are only getting worse. With the undead population on the rise and supplies becoming scarce something needs to give.

When rumors of an enclave that’s safe and well stocked reach Callie and her neighbor Josh, they decide to brave the dangerous streets in search of some long lost peace.

Will it turn out to be everything they’ve ever dreamed of, or will it be, as Callie fears, too good to be true?

 Watched

Sixteen-year-old Stephanie Beasley has it all. She's a top student, head cheerleader, popular, with a great boyfriend. But she also has it.

It stands in the corner of her bedroom in the dark of night, watching, waiting. Always waiting. Until it follows her out of her room for the first time ever, bringing her terror to a new level.

Soon, Steph is losing sleep, unable to function, stressed about when it will make its move. And when it does, she'll be forced to do anything she must to protect those she loves.

A Tale of Two Cemeteries

It's 2012 in Deadworld, and the ghosts are hungry for a good human haunting. All Charlie Quinn wants to do is keep his cemetery in business and live a normal, honest ghost life. But Julian McNabb, the ruthless owner of the cemetery across the street, always seems to steal his business.

All of that changes when a teenage pop sensation dies and joins Charlie's cemetery, and Charlie discovers that Julian's success has come by some costly means. It's up to Charlie's haunting company and their new employee to keep their business afloat, and stop Julian from taking any more lives.

 The Seance

 Curious fun turns to terror when two young women conjure a playful spirit

from history’s dark side.

 Scarecrows: The Jilted Bride

 Stepping in last minute as best man, because the suit fit, identical twin Jensen faces more than just his recent ex-girlfriend. With anger management issues and parole violations, Jensen lets loose on the straw-stuffed wedding crashers and unavoidably ruins the rented tux.

Wonderful and Bountiful

All Karen wanted to do was visit her parent's graves, but now she is trapped inside the church, surrounded by ghosts that want her body so they can live again.

Will she escape with her body and see her husband Stan again?

 Simon Says

Michael comes from a family of serial killers. They kill those on The List because "Simon says" to. However, Michael has had enough. He wants out.

But not doing what Simon Says may have severe consequences.

To Be Continued!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls . . . Yes, I know I sound like some freaky ring leader. Yes, I know that's weird. No, I do not care. I'm too excited to announce that I am working on a sequel to Temptation. In fact, I'm working on a few sequels, with the goal of turning it into a novella mini-series!!!!

Want to know where Mel, Lucas, and Jason's stories go from here? Well, now you can follow along with the rest of their adventures in the HEART AND SOUL series.

As I see it now, it will probably be a four novella series, and I'm nearly finished with the second installation, entitled Devotion. (At least, the first draft anyway).

In round two, both of our paranormal princes make a return, as well as Mel herself of course, and a few other old friends. Check it out to see how things heat up, cool down, and go from bad to worse for our PG heroine. Unlikely allies, unforgettable enemies, and new weapons that are nothing to shake a stick at.

And, trust me, you are NOT going to want to miss the way this one ends. Just when you think it's over . . . oh no, where would the fun be in that?! ;)

More information about the release date to come. Ya know, when I actually have a freaking clue. For now, enjoy this little teaser. (Keep in mind it's from the original draft of the story and may be altered or removed entirely from the final version.)



*** WARNING WARNING WARNING: Temptation spoilers, so if you haven't read the first book first... well, duh! Get on that, it's only 99 cents, and FREE for Amazon Prime members.




Devotion (Heart and Soul #2) 

"When the ding alerted me that it was time to move on to stage two of what was probably the most epic endeavor I had ever attempted in a kitchen before, I pulled the bacon from the microwave, while simultaneously reaching for the pan. Bad idea. The pan was about four inches closer than I’d expected, so instead of grabbing hold of the handle, my hand slammed right onto the hot metal surface.

“Son of a mother’s, brother’s, sister’s, uncle’s, puppy’s, kitten! Bah!” I jumped from foot to foot, trying to shake away the searing pain in my hand.

Lucas watched my display from the kitchen table, an amused grin plastered to his otherwise perfect face. “And the cheese stands alone?”

Ha-freaking-ha. He was a regular old comedian.

“Forget the cheese; get me an icepack, would ya?”

“Here, let me see that.”

Lucas took my hands in his, and gently pried my fingers away from the injury. An angry red burn ran the full length of my pinky finger. Lifting my hand to within millimeters of his mouth, he blew lightly on the scorched skin before softly pressing his lips to it. I hissed like some kind of demented cat in anticipation of the pain that any contact with the area would unavoidably cause, but it never came.

In fact, the blistering pain that had been there only moments earlier had also disappeared. I glanced down at the unmarred skin of my pinky finger and then back up at Lucas’ smiling face. He had literally kissed it better. There were some definite advantages to having an angel for a boyfriend."
