“With magic and spells, blood ties and unknown enemies, Spirit Binder is dark, fun fantasy read that can take you away to another world.” – 4 stars, Headshot Heather, http://doubleshotreviews.com

“[Spirit Binder] is a fairly fast-paced novel, moving very quickly and endearing the characters to the reader’s heart as it unfolds. I truly enjoyed all the characters  . . . and found the entire premise of this novel to be quite unique and very interesting.” – 4 stars, A Book Vacation, http://bookvacations.wordpress.com

“I love when things are different and fresh . . . you’ll be totally shaken up with all the things this poor girl has to go through . . . and yet again, she’s my hero . . . and then there’s Hugh and Ren! I read [Spirit Binder] in one sitting, and no it isn’t short, but it’s so good. I would classify it more on the fantasy side, with a dystopian feel.” – 5 stars, Maghon Thomas, http://magluvsya03.wordpress.com

Synopsis: Theo woke severely injured, covered in blood, and missing ten years of her life.

Just to complicate matters further, Theo was born under a prophecy; one that has rabid followers with three different interpretations, all of whom are willing to sacrifice her in order to fulfill it.

Not knowing if she can trust the stranger she’s betrothed to, the warrior visiting her dreams, or even her own mother, Theo tries to piece together her past only to find that her present is far more dangerous.

It’s the power of her own blood that scares her most of all. This is a responsibility Theo never wanted, and a destiny she cannot deny, “All because of a prophecy she was trying not to believe in, but kept fulfilling.”

Guess what came in the mail today?

I almost immediately yanked them out of the box while squealing – I didn’t even hear the mail courier drop them – but I managed to contain myself long enough to grab my phone and snap a picture:

These are the proofs for After The Virus and Spirit Binder from Createspace. I been anxiously waiting for these to arrive (almost three weeks from shipping date, FYI).

I needed scissors to get the packages open … I guess customs opened the package at the U.S. border, so hopefully they liked what they saw: I DO!!

Interior: After The Virus
Interior: Spirit Binder

It is so exciting to see them in print!

Now to approve the proofs!!
