So, I've had a few changes happening in my life. Stealing Hope is no longer available other than in paperback for the moment. My rights were reverted to me.
Stealing Hope will be coming back out. I'm taking care of some errors I found, double and triple punctuation, things like that. The story will remain the same. However I will be releasing Stealing Hope back out after I release the prequel.
Rise of the Dragons, the prequel to Stealing Hope is under edits right now. I'm also working on a cover. Here is what I've come up with so far, but I'm looking for opinions. In the mean time, I'll continue edits!
Do you like it? Is the couple too subtle? What needs changing?
On a personal note, my daughter and granddaughter are moving back in with us, so I'm in destruction mode, tearing out plaster walls and putting up drywall for their move back with us. The plaster is buckling and peeling, held together with lots and lots of paint, lol.
Since my hubby and I will be moving to the smaller room so the girls will have the two bedrooms next to each other, I wanted new walls. I forgot what a mess tearing plaster down is! I came out last night after tackling the first wall, covered in dust from head to toe. At least I remember to cover my nose and mouth. But I'm wearing goggles when I go back in. One wall down, three more and the ceiling to go. Pretty sure I'll need a hard hat for that!

Deneale's Book Buzz
This book is very humorous and has a lot of very sensuous love scenes in it. As you read along, you can very well imagine and see a very fun and intriguing action filled book. This book will pull you in, to the point of wanting to follow along in Hope’s life further to see what could and would happen to her.

STEALING HOPE
A DRAGON'S FATED HEART

Ari stirred,
sniffing the air. It was different again, cleaner. He wondered how many years
had passed since his last awakening. He set his head back on his hatch mates
back. Raising his head up again, Ari glanced around, his golden eyes whirling
with color. He no longer had a desire to sleep.
Ari
stood, sniffing and stretching. Looking around he noticed some of his hatch
mates also rising.
“It
smells different.” Juevatorj rumbled. Her eyes were whirling, sparkling in the
darkness of the cave. “It is clean.”
Ari
sniffed the air again and rumbled in agreement. Crag stretched his
wingspan to full-length. All around wings were stretched and tested. Air moved
quickly with a half a dozen of them waking up to the world again.
“Not
everyone is waking up.” Ari peered at the ones still curled up together. They
blinked at those of them moving around and closed their eyes, not yet
interested in the outside world.
Juevatorj
bumped heads with Ari. “That’s okay.”
“Yes, that is
okay.” A deeper baritone wound through the cave. All of those awake turned
their heads toward the sound. “Come my little ones. I will explain.”
Ari,
Juevatorj, Crag, Belisa, Hark and Rog lumbered off after the sound of the voice
coming from a tunnel that wandered through the cave. At one point they had
to swim through the lava. Warmth wrapped around them and they played until they
were sharply called to follow. The second voice was a lighter tenor, firm and
instant; one they knew better than to disobey. At once, they ceased their games
and continued the circuitous path, sniffing at the gold and silver, and
collecting bits of colored gems they dug out of the walls.
Ari was the
first to stumble out. Rearing back, he was shoved from behind, pushed into the
light as his eyes whirled in the too bright sun. He rolled forward, his
momentum stopped by a rock. He and his hatch mates chirped in distress, the
sudden light harsh against eyes that had spent centuries in darkness, relieved
only by the glow of lava.
Deep trilling
sounded as they all came to rest outside. Their sire and dam were laughing at
their less than graceful exit.
“Juevatorj,
come out of the cave.” Their sire spoke and Juevatorj crept out, belly against
the ground and head tucked low. “Do not be afraid.” They had learned to trust
that voice since before even hatching.
“Use your
first lids, protect your eyes.” Their dam spoke.
Ari and his
siblings rumbled happily. Her voice was one of their first memories in the egg.
Their sire
and dam spoke often to them, comforting them in the shell. Letting them know
how wonderful they were, how beautiful and strong. They greeted them upon each
awakening.
Ari
blinked and discovered that the light was not as bright when he opened his eyes
again. He trilled in triumph, arching back and spreading his wings in joy. His
siblings too, let forth their joy as they learned to control the brightness.
“Very good,
my little ones.” His sire had a look of contentment on his face. “We can once
again join in the world. We have been sleeping a very long time.”

I love the thought of fate. I based my coming series of dragon shifters on it. A Dragon's Fated Heart series. Stealing Hope (book 1) is due out in August 2015.
Not everything depends on fate. There is still freewill.
In mythology the goddesses were always having trouble with people and other gods/goddesses trying to change fate. One string cut in the wrong spot or a string put back together that should have been cut changes the fabric of reality.
So, fate can be fluid. Perhaps just certain actions are preordained. The minutiae of daily life may not change the person you are fated to be with.
In the case of my dragon shifters, fate kicks in when their mate is ready. No lusting over someone too young or not ready. Here's a short excerpt to explain:
Stealing Hope excerpt:
Ari and his siblings looked at each
other and nodded. On occasion he and Crag had snuck out and closer to the
surface, curious. But in the past few centuries nothing had called to them,
nothing as exciting as the lure of gold to add to their stashes, as fun as
digging raw gems from the earth. Now Ari could feel an insistent pull towards
the north. Crag was sneaking similar peeks in that direction. Together they
would explore like they had as hatchlings.
“You all feel a pull.” They nodded at
their dam’s words. “This happens when your mate is born. Follow the directions
where your heart pulls you. They might have years to go to be ready for you, so
acquaint yourselves with the world around you.” She proudly gazed at them.
“Be cautious. Be careful. Your mates
will need you strong and brave in this world. You must fit in to survive.” They
nodded, taking his words to heart. Their sire cast a look, THE look in Ari and
Crag’s direction. “You two. Behave.” Ari and Crag’s eyes whirled in amusement
as their dam shook her head.
