Carl Brandon Recommended Title
Back Cover Blurb:
Over a year has passed since Aurora, who was once Browne, escaped the Candidacy with her love, Bain to Canada. Life amongst the Resistance; however, does not bring peace for any extended amount of time as Ren, Angel, Bain and Aurora find out in Zephyr Unfolding.
The Resistance cause is one that Second-in-Command Ren has fought for most of his adult life. But when a surprise attack results in Angel's abduction and threatens his rank, he is relieved and somewhat dismayed that he isn't demoted. Instead he is given a new assignment: meet with the mayor of Zephyr and convince him to join the Resistance. Once Ren reaches Zephyr things aren't what they seem.
Before long he finds himself imprisoned onboard a United World Council ship for an assassination he did not commit. Scheduled to die in three days, Ren's crew must put their lives, their morals and their vows on the line to save him.

It is a place of freedom. As her love grows for Bain, will she risk her life for freedom?
The last attempt almost cost her life, and Browne has the scars to prove it.

Hey girl! Your message put a smile on my face! missing you too. I am getting busy on a book of my own! oh my! haha... I'll email ya soon so we can get back to being set up on chat!
Registration is free as is almost all the site! All I'm asking is for a user name, password and date of birth. You can even upload a 100x100 pixel pic to appear as you in the forums. Your work appears in a very cool virtual book where the pages turn as you move your mouse over them (I spend many minutes just holding the mouse button over the page and flipping it about-could be a man thing because it looks so cool!lol!!)
Anyhow I diverse - I would love to have you visit - even better register - and better again join in. My biggest ambition is to pay you your just rewards for your talents. In return novel-storm will do just fine - 20% is not greedy, but is sensible without 'ripping authors and illustrators off!
No thank YOU for the request. I always like finding new authors to add to my lists. It seems I have a problem "I am a read-o-holic and I'm proud to admit it! We certainly do have good taste don't we? I'm pretty much all over the scope with my music which is weird because I'm horribly picky.
Thanks for finding me on here! I haven't seen your name around anywhere, and I didn't see you at MileHiCon, so I was beginning to wonder what happened to you!
