Spring is in the Air & a Sneak Peek!

I’m doing two things at once on my blog today — the Sneak Peek Sunday AND the Spring is in the Air Blog Hop! (Busy busy)
Sneak Peek Sunday!

First, here’s my Sneak Peek of my soon-to-be-released Enchanted Skye –
Setting the Stage: Jenna has come to the Isle of Skye to scatter her grandmother’s ashes. There beside the tidal pool, magic happens. She’s added seven tears to the salt of the sea and set in motion a charm to capture a Selkie’s heart. That heart belongs to one Alexander MacCodrum.

Overcome with sadness, Jenna didn’t hear the prayers. She looked out at the rocks where the seals lay amid the foaming waters and heard her Nana’s last words before she slipped into a coma. ‘I love you my dear sweet angel. I’ll love you always. You remember that, aye?’ The gray dust floated on the mirrored surface. Jenna murmured, “I love you too, Nana.” Tears followed the ash and fell like rain drops over the water.

The raucous gulls overhead pulled her attention back in time to hear the reverend say, “…I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die.” He finished with, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.”

“Amen.” Angus echoed. He set a comforting hand on Jenna”s shoulder. “Take a moment lass, tell your Nana goodbye. We’ll be back at the house with our scotch.”

Jenna nodded. Gently tapping the urn, she let the finest ash fall with the rest. Alone now she hugged the empty vessel close and knelt over the floating ashes. She watched with aching heart as they drifted out to sea. Her tears flowed freely.

***

He watched with mild interest from the rocks. It wasn’t until Angus and the reverend walked back to the house that his interest got the better of him. He didn’t recognize this woman of the land but watched her kneel before the pool. Her dark sable hair covered her face as she keened and for some reason he was compelled to go to her side. Sliding into the water to investigate, the closer he drew, the stranger he felt. Only feet away now, he blinked the salt water from his eyes and watched her a while. The wind whipped at her hair and the sea mist clung to her clothing as she hugged an urn tightly to her chest. He knew what he was seeing then. They’d scattered ashes on the water. He considered her. Who was this woman to Angus?

Apparently sensing his presence, she looked up from her grief and met his eyes. Obviously startled by seeing him so close, the woman slowly rose and backed away.

His heart ached to watch her go and he found the feeling both perplexing and extraordinary. Then and there he knew he had to meet her. Taking a breath, he plunged under the water and swam to the far side of the cliff where the sea cave sat undetected. On dry land now inside the dark chamber, he peeled away his waterskin. And where flippers were a moment before, a man’s arms and legs appeared. Shaking out his spotted skin with a snap, he rolled it into a tight bundle and headed toward the passage.

Fun huh? Enchanted Skye coming June 2013

Can six evocative sentences capture imagination and inspire interest? Let’s see! Here are thirty interesting sentences from my five novels. Amazon offers Peek Inside too.
Discover Rose Anderson’s Love Stories on Amazon

The Witchy Wolf and the Wendigo (book 1 Ashkewheteasu)
Setting the Stage: Ash, an immortal Native American shaman, has recently entered the modern world. Here, quite unexpectedly, he ends up kissing Livie in the restaurant parking lot after a dinner date. Never exposed to beer before, Ash is a little tipsy.

His lovely dark eyes sought hers and the passionate yearning reflected there made her feel dizzy with want. He spoke in his language again and she shook her head, not understanding. He smiled, picked up her hand and kissed her palm. Closing her fingers around the kiss as though it were a tangible thing, he told her, “You make me burn for you Livie, but this is not the place to love you as you deserve.”
Not knowing how to respond, she took a breath and let it out slowly. If not for the fact she barely knew him, she’d ask him to come home and finish what he’d started, inebriated or not.

The Witchy Wolf and the Wendigo (book 2 Eluwilussit)
Setting the Stage: Ash uses the birdstone to take his consciousness to the spirit world and there meets the spirit of Nawkaw, his old mentor. Nawkaw has extraordinary news for him.

Everything as far as his eyes could see was a pure version of what he knew in the living world — every blade of grass, every leaf, all of it — edged in the white glowing light. Walking on, he found Nawkaw as his younger self, standing up to his calves in sparkling clear water. Spear raised, body poised, Nawkaw too was edged in white light as was the fish he quickly speared and tossed on the bank. Ash found himself thinking the waters of the spirit realm must teem with spirit fish, for he had caught and eaten thousands in his long lifetime alone.Seeing Ash, Nawkaw’s face broke into a happy smile. “So the bird has flown you to us. And I only explained how the magic worked once before I died!”

Loving Leonardo
Setting the Stage: Nicolas and Ellie invite Luca to discuss Leonardo da Vinci, and realize they have more than one interest in common.

I believe we were all aware of a sexual tension growing in the intellectual-rich loam. There were little things at play now: the way Ellie moistened her lips and looked at us with eyes that lingered from one to the other. The way Luca’s irises had darkened from snow shadow to moon shadow as he looked upon her. The way I’d catch myself with a reminder to breathe as my eye was drawn to these small distinctions. Like da Vinci’s sfumato, our mutual attraction hung in the air, and I was struck by the notion that the smoky quality depicted in his art was desire. Desire like this.

Dreamscape
Setting the Stage: In her waking world, Lanie knows Jason Bowen as the Victorian era ghost who haunts her house. But in her dream world, Jason is very much alive and well in his time. In one world she loves a ghost and feels the hopelessness of that fact, in the other she loves a man doomed to die. After being haunted for weeks, this is the point where he shows himself to her.

Lanie rubbed her eyes and looked again. Jason Bowen was identical to his photograph and portrait in form and coloring, and aside from that, she couldn’t say he was exactly there. His body wasn’t exactly defined, not transparent, not exactly translucent, just not altogether there. But there was a sort of substance to him as well as an edge of pale blue aura bright enough to glint off the porcelain sink directly across from where he sat. Unable to comprehend what she was seeing, she muttered under her breath, “You’re real.”
His laugh rich and warm, Jason said,“I was once.”

Hermes Online
Setting the Stage: Vivienne receives an email from an enigmatic man known only as S. Together they embark upon the world of anonymous Internet communication.

They were only words, weren’t they? If so then why could I see it, why could I feel this so acutely? I clicked send and waited.
“You’ve got mail” burst forth from the speakers. I discovered I had been conditioned to have an autonomic response to seeing the envelope and hearing the computerized words. Like Pavlov’s dog, I began to salivate.

Describing Rose’s Writing ~
I love words and choose them as carefully as an artist might choose a color. My active imagination compels me to write everything from children’s stories to historical nonfiction. As a persnickety leisure reader, I especially enjoy novels that feel like they were written just for me. It’s hard to explain, but if you’ve ever read one of those, then you know what I mean. I tend to sneak symbolism and metaphor into my writing. You might say it’s a game I play with myself when I write. And I so love when readers email to say they’ve found something. I’d like people to feel my stories were written just for them, for that’s the truth. These hidden insights are my gift to my readers.

My most recent release was inspired by Great Lakes Native American mythology and modern sightings of something truly odd. Told in two parts, it takes the urban legend of the Wisconsin wolfman and adds a touch of plausibility. Here’s a peek at both through their book trailers

The Witchy Wolf and the Wendigo – Book 1 (Ashkewheteasu)
Inspired by Native American mythology and a very real urban legend.

So I’ve been thinking about spring. Here in the Midwest the robins and red-winged blackbirds have returned already. It’s that whole early bird gets the worm thing. They get the best nesting spots and territory so when the first females return, they’re all set to razzle dazzle. The early birds sure got a rude awakening this morning. It’s -3º here with the wind chill. I feel sorry for the little guys. Last year’s drought didn’t leave much food for them. Still, they’re singing their little hearts out. Soon, they’ll be doing that at 3 am.

The oddest part of the spring migration is the birds’ desire to go to war with their reflections in my window. He’s not here yet, but I have one crazy robin that challenges his mirror image a few times a day. It will get worse when the woodpeckers start. They like to pound holes into my house’s cedar siding. Even the squirrels “go off their nut”. I can’t tell you how much their hanging on the screen door irritates my little dog. All she can think about is chomping them. Everything is twitterpated with spring. Remember this?

One last bit of luck lore — the kiss!
As far as humans go, a kiss expresses sentiments of love, passion, friendship, and affection. In many cultures, a kiss is also an overture of peace. On top of all that, a kiss is a symbol of good luck.
As a writer of romance, I work out the mechanics of kisses with words. The following is my favorite kiss from my first novel, Hermes Online. In this scene Vivienne writes out her ideal kiss to her new penpal, the enigmatic man she knows only as S. It’s my favorite because I wrote the kiss from life. Yes, the kiss in the museum is based upon a real kiss I shared with my then new boyfriend at Chicago’s Field Museum 36 years ago. We’ve been together a long time he and I, so I’d say the kiss was lucky!
I hope you enjoy.

I flexed my fingers and crafted a scene from the sizzling phantom fire playing over my lips. Having experienced amazing kisses in my life added just enough realism to the blend of movie kisses. I told the screen, “So, you want a kiss, eh? Then what will you think of this?”

S,
There is so much more to kissing for the first time than meets the eye. The would-be lovers laugh and smile and delight in each other’s company. They talk, getting to know each other, trying to find the choicest morsels of their life and personality to share. They might hold hands for hours as they wander here and there. And when they sit side by side, perhaps on a bench at a museum, they’ll look in feigned interest at the passersby, glance again and again at the exhibit, but not really seeing it. First, one will turn inward, the movement slight, barely noticeable. And then with no clear knowledge of doing so, the one will magically mirror the other. Their knees may touch, and one set of clasped hands might rest innocently upon a knee. And then a noise, a temporary distraction, might take their attention for a second, and both heads will turn to the sound, inadvertently closer now than before. When one turns back, their faces will be mere inches apart. Their eyes, green and gray, will hold each other’s gazes, darting from one sparkling pupil to the other. They might unfocus to drink in the entire face for a second, perhaps lingering on the person’s smile before meeting the gaze once more, a gaze noticeably warmer than a moment ago.

One face may turn a little, and in mirrored image, the other follows, only slightly tipped in the opposite direction. And the eyes ask the silent question as two thoughts become superimposed — May I kiss you? Will you kiss me? The answer is subtle, missed by nearly everyone passing by, everyone save the smiling elder couple holding gnarled hands and assisted by their canes. Perhaps they, too, once shared a kiss sitting there, or plan to again later. But locked in their own world, they don’t notice the elder pair walk by.

They are aware now only of each other, aware of little things, the flush on her cheeks, the gleam in his eye, the color of her moist lips, the imperceptible flare of his nostrils as he subconsciously reminds his body to breathe. They touch now. The kiss is at first soft, the lips asking permission for the firmness they crave. Another kiss grants this and another and another as faces turn to fit around chins and cheeks and noses. And then loose and pliable, those lips part now to make way for tentative tongues. These too begin their searching, gently at first then becoming bolder as they instinctively react to the warmth of each other’s mouths and thrust as hands cup cheeks and arms wind around shoulders, drawing each other ever inward into the private space that shuts the waking world out and lets the dream begin.

Sneak Peek Sunday AND the Lucky in Love Blog Hop

Feeling Lucky?
I am. I’ve recently launched a new novel — The Witchy Wolf and the Wendigo (Book2 Eluwilussit)
Because of that, I’m doing two things at once on my blog today — the Sneak Peek Sunday AND the Lucky in Love Blog Hop.

First, here’s my Sneak Peek –
Setting the Stage:
It’s the morning after Ash’s declaration of love for Livie. He’s also confessed he’s been living in her house as the wolfish dog she accidentally hit with her car. In this scene, he tells her the ancient shaman who murdered his wife and unborn child 3000 years before still lives.

“What do you mean, we must leave?” So distracted since Ash had come to her door last night, she’d completely forgotten Cora’s words. She remembered them now. He told me to go home and pack. We’re headed north to the reservation. She asked suddenly, “Ash, why did John and Cora go to the reservation?”

“I sent them there.”

Olivia considered those words. While Ash looked at least ten years younger than John, he was actually an elder — elder was an understatement — and John had the deepest respect for his elders. If Ash had sent them north, he’d go with little or no questions asked. She, however, needed answers. “Why?”

He covered both of her hands in his. “Remember the story John told yesterday, the story of my life as it once was? There was a man—”

“Aiyanna’s murderer?”

Ash nodded. “Long ago when I knew the man, his name was Eluwilussit.”

Sneak Peek Sunday!

So to finish my discussion of three, as represented by the three-leaf clover, I did a little research. From Poseidon’s Trident to Odin’s Trefot, significant threes have always been around. The ancient civilizations were full of them. Just off the top of my head I have: three Fates, three Furies, three Graces, the three-headed dog Cereus guarded Hades, and the three trials of Jesus.

The number three figured prominently in Euclidian geometry too. This is the mathematical system attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. In other words, we wouldn’t have triangles without three. I won’t even go into pi or Fibonacci.

On the fun side, the number 3 is the mystical, magical, and spiritual number featured in many folktales. Aladdin gets three wishes from the genie. The queen only gets three guesses to figure out Rumpelstiltskin’s name. Goldilocks takes advantage of the three bears, and the three billy goats gruff do a number on the troll. Three little kittens lost their mittens, three blind mice go wandering, and we can’t forget that Winkin, Blinkin and Nod went to sea, or the Butcher, Baker, the Candlestick maker all took a bath in a tub. What’s more, we all know what happens to the three little pigs and their shoddy home construction. Fun stuff, three.

As far as three goes. I experimented with three in my own writing and painted a broader portrait of love in Loving Leonardo. My Victorian trio’s tale continues with the soon-to-be released Loving Leonardo – The Quest.

“If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing.” – Sir John Melton

More on lucky clover ~
So the odds of a four-leaf clover existing are estimated to be 1 mutation to 10,000 normal three-leaf clovers. As mentioned yesterday, the rare occurrence makes them special. (Sort of like how platinum occurs less frequently than aluminum, so that ring is worth more than your Pepsi can.) Each leaf on the four-leaf clover represents something: one for faith, one for hope, one for love, and one for luck. But there was a time when humble three-leaf clover held its own special meaning.

To the ancient Celts, the three leaves represented the goddess triads, that is, it represented the Mother of All in three divine forms or aspects — the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. It represented the the cycle of all things — birth, life, and death. The beginning, middle, and end. The past, present, future. To the Celts, carrying a clover talisman allowed you a measure of protection from malevolent spirits that brought hardship, illness and harm (another 3!) . These things of ill-will were made visible by the clover charm and if you could see them, you could avoid them.

After the Christian church appropriated the Celtic charm, it became associated with the Trinity — father, son, and holy ghost. This association is said to have been devised by St Patrick himself.

Just take a gander at the 2 grand prizes:

My prize is an authorgraphed copy of any of my five ebooks. Your choice!

So what’s the big deal about a four-leaf clover?
Aside from the perplexing “luck” of a dead rabbit’s foot, no other symbol says luck like the four-leaf clover. Why? Because clover, aka trifolium, is by nature a three-leafed plant, and that makes extra leaves uncommon. You know how some people seem to have fortune in one form or another always smiling on them, while others seem to walk around with their own personal storm cloud over their heads? Well, I have a theory that goes with the rarity of extra leaves on clover — Not everyone can be lucky at the same time. Think about it. If they were, there would be no unlucky to contrast lucky with. Therefore no one would be lucky! Luck needs to be rare so we feel fortunate and lucky when it’s ours. LOL I’m a writer. I ponder these things! But there’s good news for the unlucky among us – four-leaf clovers are uncommon, but not impossible to find. Just about every patch of clover has at least one extra leaf buried in the normal clump.

Living with the same patch of clover in my yard for approximately 25 years, I was completely unaware of the luck just waiting to be plucked. My eyes opened the day we had a guest who’d been a an expert clover hunter as a child. He proceeded to find one, then another, and another. He went on to explain that the genetic variation that produces extra leaves, will continue to produce extra leaves for the life of the plant. And as they all flower, pollinate, and seed in the same spot, the likelihood of the trait recurring exists. True? I don’t know, but that made sense to me. His explanation seemed to fit my experience with the clover patch. I looked and sure enough, I found one, then another, then one with 7 leaves. Every year, the odd clover comes back, though some years produce more multiple leaves than other years. So…do I feel extraordinarily lucky? Yes I do. I’ve been lucky in love, lucky in family and friends, lucky in my place in the world. Fortunate indeed. Everyone knows it can always be worse!

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the most leaves on a single clover stem is 56! Wow. Shigeo Obara of Japan found it 2009. He’s also the previous record holder in this category. That clover had 19 leaves. Makes me wonder how lucky he is! Extra details here: Guinness World Records: most-leaves-on-a-clover

The True Beginning

Ten years ago, a reporter for a small-town newspaper heard word of strange dawn and dusk sightings of a wolf-like creature roaming the Wisconsin countryside. Her investigation revealed the local police officials had initially taken these calls lightly, but this had changed when calls began coming from upstanding citizens.

Authorities had determined what these eyewitnesses had actually seen was a lone wolf broken off from a pack running in the wilds of northern Wisconsin. Young male wolves seeking to start a new pack are known to strike off on their own. Leaving the vast stretches of wooded landscape, they might travel one hundred miles in a day. It seemed likely. However, the witnesses were adamant that what they’d seen had been no ordinary wolf. This wolf walked like a man.

Intrigued, the reporter collected the stories. To her surprise, other witnesses came forward telling of sightings that they’d never reported. In fact, some eyewitness accounts had occurred more than seventy years prior, the details only whispered to relatives who were sworn to secrecy lest friends and neighbors think heavy drinking was involved. These stories she also collected, for she knew hushed secrecy was not a direction fame-seekers usually take.

More curious now, the reporter deepened her investigation and uncovered another bizarre detail: the sightings were mentioned in ancient oral traditions of the Native Americans in the region. In those tales, dog men or witchy wolves looked after burial mounds in much the same way jackal-headed Anubis guarded the tombs of ancient Egypt. And even more bizarre, early French explorers knew of them too. They called these wolf-men the loup-garou.
