Dry Terrain of the American West Captured in a Brief Moment of Color by Guy Tal

The Badlands region in the America West is known for its arid and unforgiving vegetation. The harsh environment is lifeless, but every so often it sprouts a delicate beauty of wildflowers. Photographer Guy Tal was there to capture this rare sight. He says:  “On rare years wildflowers burst into a stunning display of color, transforming the desert into a veritable garden for just few precious days.”

Just when they thought surviving on a strange half world couldn't get more difficult...Kyber, Kelen, and the crew are proven wrong once again.

Aliens and humans living together and surviving, it is possible. But with the food and water going bad, new deadly creatures attacking, and old enemies coming back into play, the odds just keep getting worse. The group knows their days are numbered if they don’t figure something out fast.

It's no longer a battle for survival; it has become an all-out war. And there's nowhere left to go where they can be safe.

Or so they thought.

Warning! Contains death and near death, nasty oatmeal, hallucinations, tip-toeing, new discoveries, mama bears, THREE, and an attack on a loved one that could spell the end of a relationship.

Neverwylde

A half-world floating in space that shouldn't exist.

A world that looks like it's been sliced in half, with the other half missing or destroyed.

A world where temples sit on the rim of space. Where creatures now extinct once populated the interior and created massive caverns filled with strange devices and an endless array of tunnels leading from the surface to the planet's core.

Neverwylde

Where the number three is god. And unknown life forms make survival a struggle.

There can be no future on this world, but when two ships crash land there, the survivors have no choice but to fight the odds.

NEVERWYLDE
The Rim of the World, Book 4
Sensuous Sci-Fi Romance
Word Count: 42.4K
$2.99 e

On a half-world filled with danger and deception, the only thing keeping them sane and safe was their love.

They were no longer Terran and Seenecian. They were brothers-in-arms, fighting against a common foe.

With all new obstacles to face—a new climate, new enemies, and new personal issues for Kelen—the crew has their work cut out for them in this new territory. Already beaten down and broken, their food and water rations dwindling, and constant, non-stop attacks, it’s only a matter of time before they’re defeated.

On Neverwylde, you must learn to adapt. Protect those you love. But most importantly, be careful who, or what, you trust. 

Warning! Contains ice quakes, meat eaters, purple rooms, death, glowing stones, truth in advertising, dwindling supplies, and a catastrophe and separation that could end in disaster.

Happy Independence Day! Come Join Us for the Summer of Magic Blog Hop!

It's the Summer of Magic Blog Hop!
And I have a question for you.

Beach, Lake, or Pool?

Summer is the time when we get the chance to relax and catch up on our TBR piles. Or at least attempt to. If you had the opportunity to take a week off and do nothing but read, where would you go? To the beach, a lake, or beside the pool? And why?

Personally, since I live on the Texas Gulf coast, I prefer the beach. I have lived on a major Texas river and lake in the past, but never had a pool other than the blow-up kind when I was a kid. But there's something about the sound of the waves washing up on the sand, and the smell of salt that calls to me.

Comment below with your answer and reason why! I will be picking THREE winners. Each will get a $5 Amazon gift card AND one of my ebooks, winner's choice.

When you're done commenting, click this link here to go back to the main Here Be Magic blog to visit the next author in the hop!

International readers are warmly welcome to participate! 

Thank you, and good luck!
