Forbidden Destiny by Raebeth McGee-Buda
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Releasing: October 1, 2017
Cover Designer: Emcat Designs

ABOUT:

We dream of our future and what we want to be when we grow up. These dreams are who we come to be: unless our destiny has other plans. Sophie Hathorn stumbled upon her destiny through her love of books. She learns she's part of a legacy of the most powerful witches, but with a twist. She's also part Wizard, which makes her the first and only Hybrid.

Struggling with her newly found life, Sophie must prepare and train for the biggest fight of her life. Eros, a Shapeshifter, and Succubus plan to overtake Sophie's hometown and call it his own. He's created an army of Cambion to help him fight. In the midst of the threat, the Wizard's Council comes into town to help Sophie prepare for the fight of her life when she finds herself romantically attracted to Mason; the son of the most powerful Wizard. However, the law has been set for centuries by the Goddess, Pax that no witch or wizard shall be involved romantically.

Not only is Sophie pressured to become the best Hybrid, but she's also fighting the internal battle of the feelings she has for Mason. Will she be able to handle the physical and emotional battle she's about to face or will she fall short?

***

Three days passed in a blur and Sophie was on edge. The Blackguard was due to arrive anytime during the day, which made her nervous. Time was ticking away, getting closer to the inevitable. Soon she would find herself making the journey into the Underworld and using the abilities she'd trained hard with Mason to perfect flawlessly. Today wasn't any different. Mason had her up right before sunrise and they were out the door to watch the beauty of the sun taking over the heavens, while birds dashed around graciously through the skies.

The past few days had been such a learning experience for Sophie. She learned exactly what she was capable of and learned more about the man who had, not only her heart but was connected in spirit. Surprisingly, he was a bit of a nerd under the tough outer side. He enjoyed some light reading and relaxing. Photography was his passion and he loved romance. He was a hopeless romantic. Three days of being alone with him, he had managed to fully win Sophie's heart and vowed to do whatever he had to while she was gone to change the laws of the land. They were meant to be together and he was destined to change anything that stopped it.

"What's on your mind?" Mason asked since Sophie was missing each power hit he knew she easily could have avoided.

"I'm an anxious mess," she replied.

"What else is new?" Mason joked.

"Hey, I may be a mess, but I'm a hot mess. Plus, you would be too if, in a matter of a few days, you'd literally be going through hell." Sophie rebutted.

"True. Wanna sit? Take a break?" Mason asked, motioning toward the large rock Sophie came to know well.

"Sure."

They walked hand in hand over to the rock and sat down. Nothing felt as good as being with Mason and knowing he had her back. "I seriously have no idea why I volunteered to do this. I mean, I do, but I don't. My gram is there, waiting. However, I have no idea what I may face and I'm not looking forward to the overly hot and nasty environment. The stench is enough," Sophie rambled.

"Shhh, let's not focus on that. You're doing what you are meant to do Sophie. Take pride in that. There are people out there who are fighting to find out their true purpose. Yours found you, not the other way around." Mason said.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling, "I know but not everyone is fighting Lucifer in Hell," she finished looking off in the distance.

"I can't tell you how to do this. Nor can I tell ya how to succeed, but what I can say is that I'm proud of you for trying. It kills me knowing you'll be doing this without me."

"It's what I was born to do...right?" Sophie asked, giving an unsure, yet questioning looks toward Mason.

"It's pretty messed up that you're in this position, but I think it's admirable for you to take a stand and do what needs to be done. Fear has nothing on you."

"Riighhhtt!" Sophie rolled her eyes.

"Let's get back to practice. Don't wanna waste what time we have left. The Blackguard should be there by the time we get back." Mason said, standing up.

*****

"I remember the first time I read a book. It played through my head like a movie. It wasn't even like I was reading the words. It pulled me in, and I felt like I was in another world. The book's world. That is.. hands down... what you accomplished with this book! The detail was amazing, and the way you created this whole world is just... amazing. That's really the only way I can describe it. It is so enticing! I could not put it down! And I am so excited for book number 2!!!"

~~~~

"Raebeth Buda book takes us on an exciting journey with Sophia and her family and friends while she faces new and major challenges in her life. Between fighting things she never knew existed to fighting her self over feelings. The book takes us through an exciting journey of new magical species and the challenges she has to face as a hybrid. I couldn't put this book down. If you are a fan of supernatural, this is one book that needs to be added to your library."

(Review) Sunshine After The Storm by Various Authors

Title: Sunshine After The Storm- A Survival Guide for the Grieving Mother

Author: Various Authors

Genre: Non-Fiction/Grief and Bereavement
Pages: 361

Format: Kindle


Description: A compelling read from start to finish, this supportive guide to navigating pregnancy and infant loss will arm you with life-changing tools that will help you feel part of a dynamic community. The complexities of pregnancy and infant loss are explored by survivors themselves rendering this must-read book a first hand personal narrative that invites people to feel less alone in the aftermath of such devastating experiences. Grief knows no timeline and this thoughtful book does an exceptional job of explicating ways that society could more sensitively embody this concept by normalizing the spectrum of mourning. Profound losses create seismic changes in self-image, relationships, and overall identity. Many women blame themselves for their reproductive hardships and harbor monumental shame as a result. Contributors delve into crevices of their minds and hearts and courageously express the complexities of their processes- journeys that should be shared and not silenced, providing enlivening inspiration and raw accounts of how life perspectives are invariably altered in the wake of loss. This accessible guide provides valuable tips and resources for grieving families which serve as a grounding way to acknowledge the pain, ease the grief, and explore pockets of hope.

A vital resource for anyone who has experienced these kinds of losses and those who love them.

Clinical psychologist and writer specializing in women's reproductive health.

(4 Stars) 

Sunshine After the Storm was picked off of my list, or should I say unexpectedly added to my reading to review list, because of the loss I have just recently went through. I've given birth to a stillborn and I've been reading about this subject matter since. I saw this book while surfing through Amazon looking for another grief book.

This book is filled with personal stories of loss with a touch of inspiration. Although I find that most of the subject matter is on miscarriages or multiple losses, I think this could benefit someone who has been there. The few stories on Stillbirth hit home for me and the inspiration that was given from the stories, are a blessing. I can't thank the women enough for reaching out to others and giving them hope.

Although at times this book was hard to read because of the editing, I would recommend it to any and all grieving parents. Not just the mothers. Fathers too. If a father were to read this, he could see some bits of what the mother of the baby is going through. I'd also say this is a good read for those who want to understand what a grieving parent is going through, even if the loss happened years ago.

(Blog Tour) Silenced Series: Interview with @raebethmcgee

Welcome to the ninth day along the Silenced Series blog tour. Thank you so much for stopping by, again. I'm so happy that you took a moment to join in with the tour. 

Author Information

Bio: RaeBeth McGee-Buda was born in southwestern Pennsylvania in 1987, the second daughter of Rachel Yost and Arthur Curtis McGee. RaeBeth grew up loving to read and write

poetry, as well as short stories. Her childhood dream was to become a teacher. Rae Beth's dream of writing was created in her eleventh grade literature class where writing became her passion.

RaeBeth married in August 2012 to her husband, Gregory Stephen Buda Jr. and resides in a small Pennsylvania town of Fairchance. RaeBeth is a full time mother of one beautiful daughter Emma, and a mother to an angel, Dakota Emily.

She graduated from American Intercontinental University in 2010 with her associates in business administration. She enjoys spending her time writing and feels connecting with readers and sending her messages are her main goals.

1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

This question I get most often and each time I try to give a little more away. So, it’s a given that I’m a person who loves writing but I also love reading. I am part of an amazing reviewing group where I help other authors out by reading and reviewing their work. I’m a full time Mommy of one little girl, full time angel mommy, and a blogger. 

2. What do you do when you are not writing?

At this time I do the “mommy” thing. I take care of the house and my family. They always come first. Then comes my writing. 

3. Do you have a day job as well?

I would consider my “day job” to be a blogger. I devote a lot of my time to preparing posts for upcoming events for other authors. I love giving back to the amazing authors I know and to those I have yet to meet.

4. How did you choose the genre you write in?

I haven’t really planned on staying with one genre. I have several ideas I’m working on right now which are part of different genre’s. I mainly write for young adult/new adult. I’m even dabbing with the idea of a romance too.

5. Do you work with an outline, or just write?

Most of the time I just write. I tried doing the outline but I never stick with them.

6. Can you tell us about your challenges in getting your first book published?

Oh my there’s been several. I’m not one for talking about others, therefore I can’t really go into detail here. But what author hasn’t come up to challenges when publishing a book?

7. If you had to go back and do it all over, is there any aspect of your novel or getting it published that you would change?

If I could go back  (which I’m still thinking of doing) I’d have another editor look at my book Silenced and see if they could help make it better. I know there are mistakes within the version out there and I plan on fixing those before any box sets come out.

8. Can you tell us about The Overtaking?

Sure.  It continues Amber's story with depression, cutting, and the drama that unfolded in book one. Lots of fans finally have answers to the questions they’ve been waiting for and there’s even a huge surprise of events within this one too. 

9. Is anything in your book based on real life experiences or purely all imagination?

Silenced is based on both. There are parts which I’ve written in that has actually happened and parts that are totally made up. Most of the book is based on real life though.

10. How did you come up with the title?

I thought the title Silenced was perfect because when a person cuts, they are “silencing” their pain. Even if it is only temporary.

11. What project are you working on now?

I’m working on several. My main focus is Saying Goodbye Without Saying Hello right now. 

12. Will Saying Goodbye be coming out soon?

I’d love to have the actual date, but unfortunately at this time, there isn’t one.

13. What has been the toughest criticism given to you as an author? What has been the best compliment?

The toughest criticism I got as an author wasn’t actually directed at me but at the editor. Several people pointed out the misspelled words and punctuation within Silenced to me shortly after it was released. When they brought it to my attention, they were less then nice about it. That’s all I will say on that part. I’ve also been said that I don’t connect with the main character, which is hard to see. Amber is partly based off of me.

The best compliment is each and every review I get. Even if it’s less than perfect. I enjoy seeing what each person that reads it has to say. I take the bad and learn from them. I use the good to help me push through the rough times.

14. Do you have any advice to give to aspiring writers?

No matter how tough it seems to get, keep going!!!!

FUN and Wacky questions

1. Have you ever gone out in public with your shirt on backwards, or your slippers on, and when realizing it, just said screw it?

Not that I can remember but I have went out in my pajamas. 

2. Do you prefer fuzzy or tub socks?

Depends on the weather... if it’s winter I definitely like fuzzy. If it’s in the summer...none because I would rather wear my summer shoes. (Flip flops or sandals)!

3. Are you a person who makes their bed in the morning, or do you not see much point?

There’s no point. I’m the only one who sees it and I’m only going to mess it up that night anyway. 

4. Be honest, how often do you wash your hair?

I wash my hair at least every other day. There’s been a time or two where I’ve went three days, but then I have to wash it. 

5. Do you get road rage? What pisses you off the most about other drivers?

Surprisingly, I don’t drive... yet!

6. Do you go out of your way to kill bugs? Are there any that make you screech and hide?

I will go out of my way to get away from any bug. They make me run and hide. 

7. Coffee or Tea?

Coffee in the morning. Iced tea in the afternoon. 

8. What is your biggest phobia?

Bees and spiders

9. What’s your biggest pet peeve when it comes to social media? (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)

I hate seeing a bunch of food posts on Facebook and I hate seeing a person “like” their own status. It’s honestly like high fiving yourself after a job well done. Obviously you like the post dummy because YOU wrote it.
