Released April 2008

I am setting up a virtual blog tour for the month of July and would like to know if you are interested in participating. In exchange for hosting an interview on your blog, I will place a link on my web site and blogs to your blog and web site. This will help generate more traffic for you.

So what do you have to do if you host? Send me an email with at least two dates and time of day in July when you would be willing to host an interview with me on your blog. Once a date and time are determined, email some questions you would like me to answer (interview style) on your blog. I will send the answers back you, then all you need to do is post them on you blog the day of the “visit.” I will announce my visit on the groups I belong to, along with a link to your blog. You do likewise to friends, family, and groups, as well as on your blog.

You can find out more on my blog at http://star-davies.blogspot.com/. If you want to know what dates are available, visit my web site at http://www.stardavies.com/ or my blog. Also, for those interested in hosting me on the Virtual Tour, you will receive an exclusive discount code for Blood Forsaken, the prequel to the Divica books. More details will be given once you express interest in hosting. There will be prizes for most posts, creative questions, knowledge about the book, and more.

As soon as you decide you would like to participate send me an email at info@stardavies.com.

Thank you for you time, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Teaser; Chapter One: Even as Narcysius passed the last chair, and rounded the edge of the pool, Timaleon could see that same look in his emerald green eyes and stone cold face. Delight in someone else’s fear. Not that Timaleon feared him, really. There was so much about his eldest son that Timaleon would never be able to understand, which was why he knew that what he was about to do was best for the kingdom.

Narcysius knelt before the king. The purple velvet cape around his shoulders swished quickly from side to side as he flipped the left shoulder of it back—purposely revealing the sheathed sword—without touching the cape. The inside of the long cloak shimmered platinum silk. His hand was firmly around the black suede hilt of his sword. With the skills that he possessed—and a brief backward glare that Timaleon could have sworn he caught a glimpse of—Narcysius would have no trouble drawing and quickly beheading his own kin before anyone knew what had happened. The idea that his own flesh and blood could be so cruel forced the usually jolly king to shake off the horrible image.

“Father.” Narcysius’ tone was cold, which matched his detached expression.

Timaleon sighed. “My son.”
