Handbags, Books...Whatever welcomes
N. N. Light
N. N. Light is the
husband-wife writing team, commonly known as Mr. N and Mrs. N. Mrs. N. has been
creating stories ever since she was little. Her grandfather remembers when she
was two years old, she would stand at the top of the stairs and tell him a
story filled with emotion (and in a language foreign to him) with her hands on
her hips. Let’s just say she was a born storyteller.
They’re blissfully
happy and love all things chocolate, books, music, movies, art, sports, trains,
history, cooking and baking. Their mantra is to spread the Light.
Mary's the Princess
of the Light but her only hope is to
make a pact with her enemy.
Mary Miller
receives a startling visitation from Gabriel, the Messenger of God. The
Archangel reveals an astounding truth--Mary is the Princess of the Light and
even more amazing, her destiny is to battle Lucifer's army of demons and
restore the balance of good and evil on Earth. It's getting harder to fulfill
her new role and keep her identity secret while juggling her personal life, and
when Than, Lucifer's second in command, amps up the attacks on her, she knows
she needs help.
Joe Deacons is
everything she's ever wanted in a man. And as providence would have it, in a
moment of great need, he's the Warrior of Light--the one who can help her
defeat the forces of darkness.
Not so simple when
they confront Lisbeth, a demon hell-bent on usurping Than and Lucifer
himself. When Lisbeth wages war and several
innocent people die, Mary must form an alliance with her enemy in order to
destroy her. But will this be a grave
error or the choice that saves their world?
Marie furrowed her
brow and softly interrupted, "André is the Walking Man?"
I looked at Marie
and asked, "You've heard of him?"
Marie nodded.
"Of course. He is a staple of the Downtown area. There are a few groups
I'm affiliated with that hand out food and clothing to those in need. He never
comes to these events so I leave them by the area where he sleeps." She
paused, thoughtfully. "I just can't believe that it is André."
Joe cleared his
throat and looked at his father. "What happened to André?"
Alfred sighed and
after a moment said, "It really was the fault of that witch he was married
to. She and her family treated him horribly. She was a gold digger and all she
cared about was money and the prestige."
Marie interrupted
Alfred by saying, "I remember her. She was so mean to André and all she
cared about was looking rich. Wealth
is a gift—she just wanted it for a toy. She treated André so badly... and his
mother-in-law was the worst. She would put him down all the time. In front of
other people, no less."
Alfred continued,
"André was a good man and worked hard. He was working on a big project for
the city. He worked night and day on the project and told me it was going to
put Golden Lake on the map.
"He absolutely
adored his daughter, too. I remember that clearly. She was his
everything." Alfred paused, apparently lost in his thoughts. With a sigh
he said, "There was a scandal with the project, though, and André got
fired. Soon after, Dara left him, took Katherine with her and André fell apart.
He started drinking heavily and, without his daughter, his life fell
apart."
Joe looked at me
and I fought to keep from throwing my hand over my mouth. There was purple fire
in his eyes and I felt his anger. I already knew the story of André and I tried
to smile at him.
I smelled burning flesh. Joe flashed in full armor
fighting demons with a golden sword.
I gasped at the
vision and brought my hand to my chest in shock feeling the key necklace,
before I could stop the physical reaction. The necklace weighed heavily as did
my heart. He would be fighting at my side soon.
Marie asked,
"Are you okay, dear?"
Joe turned to look
at his mother. He nodded and only said, "I never knew any of this."
Alfred continued,
"I am sorry, son, but you asked for the truth. This is what I know. André
was sleeping at the office and drinking all the time. He was supposed to give a
presentation to a client and was drunk. He got into a scuffle with his boss and
rumor has it, André punched him."
I feigned shock and
said, "Oh my!"
Than is to blame. I don't know how I know or what
happened but I vow to the Lord that I will make Than pay, thought Joe.
I choked and almost
spit out my drink. I just heard Joe's
thoughts! I had to set him straight and right away.
I cleared my throat
and said awkwardly, "Joe, I think I left something in the car."
Joe looked at me
with eyebrows raised. "Excuse me, we'll be right back," I said with a
smile.
I walked outside
and knew that Joe was right behind me. When I reached the car, I whirled and
said in a stern tone, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Joe stopped
mid-step and said, "What are you talking about, Mary?"
I ran into his arms
and whispered, "You cannot take on Than by yourself! I heard your thoughts
in there. Now, I don't know how you know that it was Than who drove André to
punching his boss but please promise me that you will not get revenge."
I paused to catch
my breath and remembered what Gabriel told me. "Joe, in order to defeat
the darkness and not become dark ourselves, we need to have a pure heart. We
are filled with the Light and our motives must always be to speak the Truth and
spread the Light."
Joe took several
deep breaths while he held me. He stroked my hair and whispered, "I'm
sorry, my angel. I didn't mean to frighten you and you are right. It was just a
momentary thought."
I lifted my head
and locked eyes with Joe. Tears filled my eyes but I was determined. I bit at
my top lip and then whispered, "Promise me you won't put yourself in
harm's way." Hot tears spilled down my cheeks.
Joe wiped at them
and said in a deep, reassuring tone, "I promise, Mary. I promise I won't
be a hothead and I won't be rash." Then, he laid his forehead on mine and
whispered, "Please don't cry, darling. Please."
I nodded and
whispered, "I would die if I lost you. Than will use you to try to get to
me. You are my love, my everything." My voice cracked. "I would die
if I lost you," I repeated.
Joe shook my
shoulders a little and looked deep into my eyes. "Listen to me, Mary, you
will never lose me! Do you hear me? I am by your side now and forever."
Overcome with
emotion, Joe kissed me.

Hi, N N Light, you are most welcome.
Sounds wonderful. I could picture you as a child on the stairs telling a tale. My sisters and I used to lay in bed at night and tell each other stories. We spent so much time sharing stories about pirates and boys, fights for good and saving the world. I think my grandchildren will miss out on those moments because they don't make up stories like we used to.
That's a really "intense" looking book cover. Best wishes with your new release!
this is very useful article,thanks for sharing something like this.
