The Ritual of Strength #Video from Bringer of Chaos #SciFi #MFRWhooks

Turn on your speakers!

You will want to hear the music and the voice actor. Zack's performance is exactly the way Pietas sounds in my head.
It's as if this video was filmed in my imagination and brought to life in reality.

When the idea for this video came to me, at first I could not see it as anything more than a wistful dream. It was something that might be amazing but would never happen. If it hadn't been for my assistant, Lisa Lowe's, belief that it could happen, this video would never have been created. I owe her a huge debt.

The cosplayer and model, Nik Nitsvetov, worked diligently to portray the immortal king. I do not think anyone will ever come close to matching his performance. He was magnificent as Pietas. His photographer, Belyaeva Yuliya (known as by_cosphoto), is a master of lighting and shadow. She makes the light itself kiss Nik in these pictures.

When Zack Black speaks the words, he says them with the same cadence, pronunciation, and literal voice that I hear in my head. Bringing these two men together to create this video is nothing short of a miracle, and I do not throw that word around lightly.

It took months of behind the scenes work, planning, buying costume pieces, writing the script, talking with the performers, tweaking every aspect of this film. It's just under two minutes of screen time, but represents hundreds of hours of work. I sincerely thank all those who helped me make this a reality.

I hope you will watch to the end and share it with your friends.

The Pietas Ritual of Strength

I am Pietas.
First Conqueror.
War Leader of the Ultras.
As fire has victory over life, so I have victory over my enemies.
I am powerful, as fire is powerful.
I own the wind -- I prevail over the breath of my enemies.
Water submits to my presence the way enemies submit to my will.
The blood of my enemies trickles into the pool of time, is absorbed, and forgotten.
My body submits to my will.
No pain defeats me.
No fear touches me.
My will is absolute.
I am bigger than any fear.
I prevail in every circumstance.
I face every foe.
I vanquish every enemy.
I overcome.
I am indomitable.
I am invincible.

The Antonello Brothers covers are hot hot hot #SciFi #Romance #MFRWhooks

Posted on December 5, 2018 by Kayelle Allen

The Antonello Brothers covers are hot hot hot #SciFi #Romance #MFRWhooksTime to update the Antonello Brothers covers and give Senth and Khyff a new look. The youngest, Senth, is HalfKin: a half-human half-feline race and playful as a cat. How ironic is it that he’s a cat-burglar?

The title of his book, At the Mercy of Her Pleasure, makes it sound super sexy. I mean, look at this guy, right? The name comes from his heroine, NarrAy, an enhanced human whose pheromones allow her to control others. Can he resist her? Does he even want to? Sadly, he must or he will not be able to free his brother, who’s in the worst possible situation…

If you love a great romance with unforseeable twists, but don’t really care for explicit content, this book is for you. It’s adult in nature, but is rated PG13.

The Antonello Brothers covers include a new look for For Women Only also. I love all my heroes, but this guy has a special place in my heart.

Khyff was abandoned on the Kin homeworld and sold into slavery as a child. He had a horrible life. The Antonello Brothers covers are hot hot hot #SciFi #Romance #MFRWhooksIt didn’t get much better when he was older. But now that he and younger brother Senth have been reunited, things are looking up for him. He hated the Kin for what they did to his family.

Being the cruel writer that I am, I gave him a Kin warrior heroine. Fawni’s honor refuses to allow Khyff to suffer for what her people did, but she must risk everything to save him. Their love story will break your heart and put it back together again. Okay, now — I wrote this book. I know how it ends, but everytime I have occasion to re-read it, I cry at the happy ending. Not kidding one bit. It’s that endearing.

Where to pick up the Antonello Brothers books

At the Mercy of Her Pleasure

She’s addictive, but what if he kissed her just once? https://books2read.com/u/m2o9P1

For Women Only

He didn’t expect an alien to have such honor. He didn’t expect to trust her. And he didn’t expect to fall in love https://books2read.com/u/38go96

It’s Christmas Eve and a cop is at the door… #SweetRomance #MFRWhooks

It's Christmas Eve and a cop is at the door... #SweetRomance #MFRWhooks

It's Christmas Eve and a cop is at the door... #SweetRomance #MFRWhooks

Last time a cop was at Dara's door it was Christmas Eve, and he delivered news that her husband had been killed.

Now one's out there again...

From A Romance for Christmas

Dara was gaining strength daily, and would finish therapy the first week of January and return to work. Disability paid for the basics - lights, phone, water, trash collection, and she'd never bought anything on credit, refusing to dig herself into a hole she'd never escape once it got started.

She went to the closet and pulled down a box with a ball, crayons, paper, and three books. A friend had brought over a few things as well. This wasn't the grand Christmas she had wanted for her daughter, but all the other valuables had been sold. There was nothing left but her wedding ring.

She didn't wear it. Removing it had been part of saying good-bye to Jack.

They said it would help, and it had. Sort of. But not much.

Dara sank into one of the kitchen chairs and put her face in her hands.

Sometime later, when the doorbell rang, she grabbed a paper towel and dried her eyes. The clock over the stove said nine o'clock. Who would be calling at this hour on Christmas Eve? She stuffed the wet towel in her robe pocket on the way to the door.

A Romance for Christmas

A sweet feel-good holiday romance that reaffirms all you love about Christmas. It's the end of a year in which everything Dara loves was lost. Everything but her little girl and a fierce determination to survive. When a cop comes to her door on Christmas Eve, he brings a gift she never expected to get.
