Intel 64-bit Desktop CPU comes to life - Benchmarks - PCMarkToday we see the launch of the first 64-bit processor from Intel in the flavor of the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition with EM64T which is clocked at 3.73GHz. In this article we cover the changes in the new CPU and how it performs against previous processors from Intel. Read on for your first taste of 64-bit from Intel.
Version and / or Patch Used: Patch 130
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/products/pcmark04/
PCMark is a multipurpose benchmark, suited for benchmarking all kinds of PCs, from laptops to workstations, as well as across multiple Windows operating systems. This easy-to-use benchmark makes professional strength benchmarking software available even to novice users. PCMark consists of a series of tests that represent common tasks in home and office programs. PCMark also covers many additional areas outside the scope of other MadOnion.com benchmarks.
Again we see very little improvement between the two EE CPU's.

Expect J.J. Barea to play tonight in Toronto after missing the last four games because of that hamstring injury.
Rick Adelman said he's not sure just how much or in what situations Barea will play yet, but Adelman, his staff and the team's athletic trainers will monitor how he's moving and decided how much he's prepared to play.
Meanwhile, Adelman is sticking with that same starting lineup so many of you admire so much: Luke Ridnour and Wayne Ellington in the backcourt, Wes Johnson, Darko Milicic and Kevin Love up front.
Expect, though, to see lots of Ricky Rubio and Derrick Williams off the bench.
Adelman said he decided after Friday's loss to Cleveland that Williams needs to play more. The question is just when and where because Adelman still wants to use him mostly at power forward rather than small forward, a decision that limits Adelman some because Love already gets so many of the minutes there.
Tonight's game also features pals Rubio and Jose Calderon playing against each other for the first time in the NBA. They played together on the Spanish national team and Rubio started for Calderon when he was injured in that 2008 Olympic gold-medal game.

Duru Tha King
About Duru Tha King
Duru Tha King is a rising emcee from Charlotte, North Carolina closely affiliated with Deniro Farrar's burgeoning Cult Rap movement. Those of you who followed Deniro's work throughout 2013 should remember his contribution to the cut "Social Status" as well as their collaborative singles "Dontrezz" and "Smoked Out", the latter of which also featured Magic Tha Don. Duru describes his childhood as relatively normal but rough. Because of his mother's addiction to drugs, he was raised by his grandmother, who instilled in him the importance of hard work through her ability to provide for him. Hip-hop became an outlet for Duru at a young age, and a means of escaping inner city life. The last we heard of him were the January 2014 singles "Planet High" (produced by Chased Davis) and "Salt Burn" (produced by Fameless). Also, he and Farrar opened for Nipsey Hussle during the Charlotte, North Carolina stop on his 2013-2014 Crenshaw Tour (26/01/2013). Duru's currently working on his debut EP INDoor Plus, which is slated to drop in early 2014. The cycle of hate in his native Charlotte has inspired him to seriously pursue his goal of becoming successful in the rap game. Don't sleep on this young lord.
Facts Only
- Duru Tha King and Deniro Farrar are childhood friends.
- He attended North Carolina's David W. Butler High School.
- Duru was raised by his grandmother due to his mother's drug dependence.
- Tupac Shakur remains his greatest influence to this day.
- Duru discovered music at a young age, describing it as "dope".

We had a small picnic on the Lyndhurst lawn overlooking the ducks or geese - I forget which now. Then we headed back to Albany on route 9-W so that Emma could see the western side of the Hudson. We passed through a lot of countryside and small towns on the way to Albany. We went through nice sections of Albany so that Emma could see that they existed.

Our Chin-Chihuaha mix died recently of congestive heart failure. He was 6 years old. My wife would like another dog and asked me to check with the progressives on Daily Kos to see if anybody has puppies available or a dog that needs a home.
The budget is tight, so no pure breds. We live in southern Arizona, so a local dog that we can pick up or could be delivered would be very helpful. Something in the southwest such as southern California or New Mexico might also work.
My wife has rheumatoid arthritis, so she prefers small dogs of perhaps 10 to 15 pounds that she can handle without too much wear and tear on her joints. As the dog would spend a lot of time with her, it should be a friendly lapdog type rather than a boisterous outdoorsy type.
If you have such a dog or know someone who does, please leave a comment or send me a DKOS message.

Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Patricia Briggs can grab a reader and pull them into her world completely. The story telling and world building are top notch.
And she can really elicit emotion from a reader. Wow. This was one I couldn't put down until the book was done, and then I wanted more.
I love diving deeper into Charles's background and seeing the man underneath the enforcer, underneath the Alpha wolf that has to keep it all together and keep everyone else in line. Anna softens his rough edges but we get to see more of Charles as she does, glimpse his history and see the whole picture.
In Dead Heat Anna and Charles are visiting an old friend of his because Charles wishes to buy Anna a horse. The trip starts out as a personal vacation, an escape from their normal day to day world but they are quickly sucked into a dangerous mystery that touches Charles personally when someone within his circle of friends and family is attacked. They start investigating on their own and end up helping the FBI and local law agencies. They find out the Fae are up to something and it is not good at all.
Charles is such a deep character and we see so much character development for both he and Anna throughout these stories. Not only does the world building become more complex but the characters become so real, so deep.
I LOVE both this series and the Mercy Thompson series, enjoying the multiple views of this world Briggs has built. But I really love the romance and the character building that goes on in the Alpha and Omega series.
I can't wait for more books featuring Charles and Anna.

Review: A Fright to the Death by Dawn Eastman
A Fright to the Death by Dawn Eastman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Eastman's Family Fortune Mysteries are fun and full of Fortune family craziness. I love the hint of paranormal elements and the family psychic gifts. I also love that they are set in my home state, Michigan.
In A Fright to the Death, Book Three of The Family Fortune Mystery Series, Clyde and Mac are on their way to a tropical getaway when a blizzard leaves them Michigan bound in the Kalamazoo Area.
They end up at Carlisle Castle, a bed and breakfast (loosely based on Kalamazoo's very real Henderson Castle which is also a B&B). Surprise, Clyde's mother and aunt along with Mac's mother are at the Castle for their knitting convention. So everyone gets snowed in together at the Castle. And of course, a murder happens. Cell phone towers are down, the land line is not working and they are completely snowed in and cut off from the rest of the world.
Mac being a detective and Clyde being an officer on leave, they step in to secure the scene and investigate the murder. Clyde's family is determined to help. Once again the entire family is embroiled in mystery and hijinks's to try and solve a murder with Clyde's Aunt and Mother ready to help with pet psychic readings, pendulums and tarot card readings.
Twists, turns, and surprises abound in an old castle full of secrets...and the guests may have more secrets than the castle.
If you love cozy mysteries, this series is must read.

Braving Fate
Bookish academic Diana Laughton has been having terrible dreams. Dreams of battle, dreams of blood... dreams so vivid she's living them day and night. When demons invade her quiet life and she flees to Scotland, she wonders if she's going mad. Or if perhaps she's remembering a past life she had no idea existed...
Mythean Guardian Cadan Trinovante loved and betrayed Britain's warrior queen Boudica two millennia ago. Now he's tasked with protecting mortals whose lives affect the fate of humanity. His latest assignment is Boudica herself, reincarnated as a woman with no idea of her past or her fated future.
Thrown together in a shadowy world that exists alongside our own, Diana and Cadan must fight not only the demonic forces that want Diana dead, but a past and a passion that have lasted centuries. Their desire could be deadly. But as evil from the underworld unites against them, their only hope could be each other.
Three hundred years ago, Warren sold his soul in exchange for the safety of his people. He lives immortal and inhuman, a life in the shadows, hiding his secrets. Until now, when he finally has the chance to reclaim his soul after three centuries of suffering…
Esha is a soulceress, an immortal who drains the magical powers of others. Shunned by everyone she meets, she's a rogue mercenary who hunts evil for a living. The only man she cannot harm is Warren, whose secrets intrigue her and whose body sparks her desire…
Esha is the only person who can help Warren reclaim his soul. But what begins as a simple quest soon becomes a deadly battle, one in which choices will be made and secrets revealed that could tear them apart. As Esha and Warren uncover their passion, they must defeat the evil forces unleashed against them before time runs out…
Rogue Soul
Andrasta, Celtic goddess of victory, has fled the cold, sterile wasteland of Otherworld for the steamy South American jungle. It's only a matter of time before the vengeful gods catch and punish her - unless she can convince the man she betrayed two thousand years ago to help…
Born in Otherworld to the life of a god, Camulos went rogue centuries ago. He's living on the banks of the Amazon, boxing in bare-knuckled fights. The gods believe he's dead--until Ana finds him. Ana, the woman who gave him nothing but trouble, and the woman he could never forget…
Thrown together, Ana and Cam must evade the wrath of the gods and a return to the living death of Otherworld. But as they flee through the jungle - and as their passion ignites - they find themselves at the heart of an ancient secret. One that could kill them both and extinguish their souls forever...
Stolen Fate
Fiona is an Acquirer, an immortal who uses magic to hunt for ancient artifacts. Ever since she failed to live up to her fate and find the Book of Worlds,, she's been slowly losing her mind as her subconscious keeps trying to accomplish her fated task. When she's presented with one last chance to find the Book and save her sanity, she'll stop at nothing to accomplish her goal.
For more than one hundred years, Ian has been locked in a nightmarish prison. An accomplished thief, he was thrown into hell for failing to maintain the secrecy of his magical race. When Fiona presents him with an opportunity for escape, he'll do anything it takes to ensure that it's permanent, even if it means betraying the woman he's grown to care for.
As Fiona and Ian get closer to finding the book, they learn that there's more at stake than they ever imagined – like the fate of the world.

Chapter One of Rogue Soul, book 3 in the Mythean Arcana series
The Caipora's Den
Edge of the Amazon River, Brazil
Present Day
Andrasta, Celtic goddess of victory, swallowed hard, her gaze transfixed by the man in the makeshift boxing ring. Was he that handsome when I tried to kill him? Or that brutal?
She honestly couldn't remember. It had been more than two thousand years since she'd seen him last, and she barely recognized him. Dim spotlights gleamed off sweat-slicked muscles and highlighted the feral brutality with which he pounded his opponent. No gloves protected his big hands, just white fabric wrapped around knuckles. They were spotted with blood.
She swallowed hard again, unable to look away.
She'd known she would find him here when she'd strolled up to the Caipora's Den, a little dive bar perched on the edge of the Amazon River. But she hadn't expected the outdoor boxing ring surrounded by a horde of cheering Mytheans or that her prey would be inside it, pounding his opponent into a sack of broken bones.
She'd never before been to the bar, which catered only to the supernatural beings who lived secretly alongside mortals. The building itself was ramshackle, and she had a feeling that it was just as run-down on the inside. The outdoor lot in which she stood was pressed between the building and the river. It housed the boxing ring and nearly a hundred Mytheans, most of whom looked human even though they weren't. They screamed and cheered as punches landed with fierce smacks.
"All right, that's enough," hollered the ref, a big ugly brute who stepped forward to end the fight. The man she'd come for stood over his collapsed opponent, his heavily muscled chest heaving. He was declared the winner—no surprise, considering his opponent didn't look like he'd be getting off the floor anytime soon.
She sank back into the crowd when he turned to exit the ring. Though she wanted to watch him, to devour every hard inch with her eyes, she didn't want him to see her before she could approach him on her terms.
Their past was a pit of snakes, so confusing that even she couldn't figure head from tail though she'd lived through it. She wouldn't be surprised if he was pissed as hell, considering the arrows she'd sent through his heart the last time she'd seen him. Not that he hadn't wronged her. He had. He'd started the nightmare that had ended in her stealing his godhood for herself. Worse, they'd cared for each other. Until it had all gone to shit, at least.
And now she needed his help.
She turned and pushed her way through the crowd, toward the small bar pressed against the outside of the building. She needed to buy herself some time to recover from the sight of him but didn't want to do it inside the bar where she might lose track of him. Seeing him again made her shaky, even though it had been so many years. She just needed a minute to catch her breath, that was all.
She squeezed between two Mytheans of indeterminate species and reached the bar—which was more of a table with some liquor bottles and a cooler, but it would do.
"A beer," she said to the bartender, a beautiful brunette who had the slightly feral face of some kind of shifter. Ana had never been any good at identifying Mytheans since she rarely got away from her own kind.
The bartender handed over a sweating glass bottle and hissed, "On the house."
Anaconda Incantada. The sound of her voice gave away what her features did not. She was a snake shifter.
And it had better be on the house. There had to be some perks to being a god, since everything else had been a disappointment. Although Ana never tired of Mytheans fearing or bowing to her. Some watched her warily even now, and she appreciated it all the more for not having had it when she'd been mortal.
"How often does this happen?" Ana asked the bartender, hiking a thumb at the ring.
The shifter shrugged. "Every night."
"Know anything about the fighters?"
"Not the loser. But the winner, he's never lost. Fights pretty often. Seems to like it. Keeps to himself otherwise."
Ana nodded and turned to look for her prey. The beer slid refreshingly down her throat, and she sighed in pleasure at the smooth taste of the infrequently allowed delicacy. Focusing on the taste helped calm her nerves just a bit. She was raising the bottle to her lips a second time when she spotted him standing off to the side of the crowd near the jungle that crept up to the dirt lot.
It had been two thousand years since she'd seen him last, when she'd thought she'd killed him and taken his place as a Celtic god. Those years had been kind to him, considering that he was still alive. Almost as kind as the way-too-hot woman draped around him, sucking on his neck while he unwrapped the bloody cloth from his hands.
Ana stifled the strange little twinge in her chest. She'd cared for him once, and he for her, but that was so long ago the memories had gone to dust. Or so she told herself. She took one last swig of the beer to chase them away.
Now or never. If she wanted a permanent escape from Otherworld, the land of the Celtic gods and what felt like her eternal prison, there'd be no more dawdling, no matter how nervous she was about his reception or willingness to help her.
She needed him. Admitting to it scraped something raw inside her. But after two thousand years, she wanted out more than she wanted her pride.
Ana sucked in a deep breath and wound her way through the crowd. When a lobisomem got handsy as she passed, an elbow to the gut halted his straying paws, and a glare stopped another. Fancy Brazilian name or not, they were dogs like the rest of their werewolf brothers. Within moments, she'd reached the edge of the crowd and stood before the now-kissing pair.
She squashed her nerves as she gazed at the strong profile of the man she'd never been able to forget—whose mouth was glued to the woman's. He was a bruiser, even from the side, a contrast of hard features and short ginger hair. He looked rougher than she remembered. Bigger, too.
"Camulos," Ana said. She glanced dismissively at the sultry woman now trying to swallow his tongue.
"Cam," he said absentmindedly as he drew his face away from the woman's to look at Ana. His brows shot up, his gray eyes widening the barest fraction. A scar sliced through one of the brows.
"Recognize me?" she asked, absorbing the fact that he no longer went by Camulos.
"Andrasta," he rasped, shock plain on his face.
Did she hear his breath catch?
Hers certainly did. He looked every inch the god he'd once been—strong and powerful, with broad shoulders and big arms that looked like they'd been cut from steel. A man comfortable with the mantle of worship, even if he no longer carried it.
Ana shot a pointed glance at the other woman.
"Luciana," he said, drawing the woman's mouth away from where it had suctioned onto his neck.
Ana's eyes zeroed in on the huge hand that cupped the back of Luciana's neck, then looked back to realize that he'd kept his gaze trained on her own face.
"You need to go," Camulos said to Luciana.
Luciana pouted at him, then turned to look at Ana.
"A goddess?" Her brows shot high. She no doubt noticed the small glow emitting from Ana's skin and marked her as one from Otherworld. Her lips twisted in a sneer. "I thought you Celtic gods never left your cold realm."
She'd be right, Ana thought bitterly. Cold and emotionless, that was Otherworld, and she was trapped there except for a few times a year when she could sneak out without the other gods noticing. But that's what she wanted to change.
"Beat it, sister," she said, trying out some earth slang she'd seen on a TV show. Sneaking a laptop into Otherworld and firing up movies with her magic was one of the few ways she stayed sane.
The woman pouted, gave one last longing glance at Camulos, and then moved off into the crowd.
Camulos gave her a hard, searching look, his shock now masked. He didn't make a move to kill her—which was good. Not that she'd let him. But still, it was promising. He might have cared for her once, but after what had happened at the end, she wouldn't be surprised if that had been pushed out by anger.
"Come on. Let's get a seat inside." He jerked his chin toward the ramshackle bar.
Ana nodded and turned to lead the way. This time, with the huge male of indeterminate species following closely behind her, the crowd parted in waves to let her pass. Camulos was so close on her heels she swore she could feel the heat of him. It made the fine hairs on her arms stand on end. She tried to ignore it.
The smell of sweat and stale beer assaulted her nose when she walked into the bar. It was even more crowded than the outside, with dozens of volatile Mytheans partying and fighting in the dark, smoky space lit only by bare, dangling light bulbs.
She blinked. Wow. This was so different from Otherworld. Gross, definitely, from the smell to the cleanliness of the occupants.
But it was great. It was nothing like Otherworld, and she loved it. There was one small unoccupied table in the corner, but it was far enough from the main crowd to suit her.
They hadn't so much as settled at the table when a beer appeared in front of Camulos, carried by a smiling waitress whose eyes didn't stray from him. He ignored it and spared her only a curt nod.
"How the hell did you find me?" he asked when the waitress slunk away.
His rough voice sent a shiver down her spine. That first tingle of attraction hadn't been a fluke, after all. Damn it. This was what had gotten her in trouble so many years ago. Insane attraction that had blinded her to the danger she'd stepped into.
She dragged her mind back to the present. "More importantly, how the hell are you still alive? I thought I killed you."
His big hand clenched on the table. Scars sliced across his knuckles.
She tried not to squirm in her seat as his eyes roamed from her face down to the hint of cleavage she knew peeped above the top of her leather breastplate. She always wore it, but then she spent most of her time in temperate Otherworld or Scotland. It was damn hot in the jungle.
Finally, his gaze dragged back to hers. The sight hit her straight in the solar plexus. Damn, he looked good, no matter how wary or how harsh his gaze. His short reddish-blond hair glinted in the dim light that struggled to illuminate the seedy bar with its sticky seats. He still looked like a damn god, no matter what he'd turned into.
"You didn't kill me," he said, one corner of his mouth hiked up.
"Then what the hell are you? How are you immortal?"
"Why would I tell you that?"
So it was going to be this way? A game of chance where neither showed their cards? But it suited her too, since she had no idea how she felt about him. She glared at him as a Jurassic-sized fly buzzed around her head, as annoying as the questions hanging in the air between them. She still didn't fully understand everything that had happened those many years ago when she'd taken his place as a god by sending an arrow through his heart. Twice. She flinched at the mental image that came with the thought—him dying in the snow, his blood soaking through the knees of her dress.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" he asked.
"Nope." If she was going to be afraid of anyone, it would be him—with his huge body, scowling face, and potentially deadly grudge against her. But she wasn't. She could take care of herself, damn it. Being afraid was a thing of the past.
"Yep." She wasn't the same girl he'd once cared for, however briefly. After they'd gotten caught in the crosshairs of the gods and her whole life had gone to hell, she'd changed.
"Anyway, it worked out for the best." He raised his smudged glass in toast to her.
"Really?" Her brows shot up. He truly thought their past—trading places so that she became a god and he went to earth—had worked out for the best?
He nodded, but she had a hard time believing him.
"Why? You should have loved Otherworld. You're a god," she said.
"Not anymore."
"Yeah, but you get what I mean," she said. "Otherworld, the coldness there, shouldn't have bothered you since you were born a god. The power, the perfection. It was all yours. Without all the downsides."
Like the soul-sucking loneliness of a place with no emotion. No one could care about anyone else. She was a fluke, a god with the ability to feel because she'd once been mortal. But there was nothing to feel there. No joy, no love, no fun. No way to distract herself from the misery of being trapped. All the other gods, they were perfect for it. Automatons in their impeccable world. But not her.
"So why would it be better for you on earth?" she asked when he didn't respond. He had less power here and had to hide from the other gods. And earth was messy and miserable compared to Otherworld. But it was that ability to be miserable, and alternately joyful, which made her want to return. "There's nothing for you here."
His gray eyes darkened, his expression effectively closing the subject. "That's my business, not yours. Why the hell are you here?"
"I want out."
"Are you kidding? Do you know what will happen to you when the other gods figure out you've tried to run?"
What was it about his voice that made her want to squirm in her seat? The mixed accent from his long life sounded exotic somehow and a hint of roughness dragged across her skin.
She shivered. "I've snuck out before."
"For a few hours maybe, and not with the intent to flee." He nodded smugly and she knew he must see acknowledgment in her eyes. "When they figure out that you're gone and don't intend to come back, you'll end up chained to the most desolate tor in Blackmoor for a thousand years while ravens circle for dinner."
Ana swallowed hard. The knowledge of the great rock formations where lawbreakers were punished was something she'd tried not to focus on when she'd decided to run. Blackmoor was the most desolate place in Otherworld, all scrubby ground punched through with granite tors and howling wind and rain. She had about a day before the other gods figured out she was gone. At that point, she'd be considered a deserter and they'd hunt her down.
"I'm aware of the risks." She tried to make her voice hard. "I want out."
"What the hell do you expect me to do about it?"
"You cared for me once." She didn't want to play that card—not after how it had ended between them—but she was desperate.
Truth flashed in his eyes, then his jaw hardened. "It was a long time ago."
It had been. But seeing him was dredging up emotions she'd forgotten she'd ever had. She tried to force them to the back of her mind and focus on her goal. "I want to know how you became mortal."
"Not mortal."
"Damn it, you know what I mean. I just don't want to be a god anymore. You stole my life when your obsession with me attracted the attention of the other gods. I want my life back."
"I don't owe you a thing." He raised his glass and his strong throat worked as he swallowed, drawing her eyes to it. She couldn't help but notice the way his worn shirt stretched over his broad chest. She scowled at her own interest. Long ago, that same interest had gotten her into trouble.
"Fine. I'll just have to convince you," she said.
He didn't respond, just smiled and folded his muscled arms over his chest. She sighed, then tensed when he swung his feet up onto the chair next to her.
Her breath caught in her throat. She could almost feel the heat of his thighs close to hers. Her leg tingled, her skin prickling. Something low in her stomach tightened, and it reminded her that this was one of the reasons she wanted to be back on earth.
Fates, her nerves were on edge, and he wasn't helping matters. She'd spent nearly every day of the last two millennia in Otherworld—the dullest, loneliest place in all of creation. As much as she loved the hustle and bustle of the Mytheans and mortals on earth, there was way too much of it in this bar. Her senses were on overdrive, and the air fairly buzzed with emotion from the dozens of volatile Mytheans carousing around her.
She swallowed hard and met his eyes. His smile reappeared, as if he knew what was going on inside her head. Inside her body.
"I need some air." She jumped to her feet. "Come on."
As soon as he stood, she spun and headed for the front door of the bar, hoping it would be quieter than the fighting ring out back. She had to cool down or things were going to get out of control.

Interview, Spotlight and Giveaway Thomas by V.A. Dold
Can you tell readers a little bit about yourself and what inspired to write in this particular genre?
I love Paranormal Romance and devour them like candy. Naturally I write what I enjoy.
What inspired you to write this book?
I had the first of the series in my head for several years before I wrote it. While I was writing that book the entire series took shape.
Please tell us about your latest release.
Thomas is Anna's oldest son and the head of Security for the Shifter king. You meet Anna as the heroine of book one. He meets Julia at the first annual shifter gathering and there is no going back.
Do you have a special formula for creating characters' names? Do you try to match a name with a certain meaning to attributes of the character or do you search for names popular in certain time periods or regions?
No formula at all, they name themselves and often new characters pop up out of nowhere.
Was one of your characters more challenging to write than another?
I expected Stefan to be very funny since his brothers needed to give him a lot of payback. His story turned out to be very emotional and difficult to write but the readers seem to love it.
Is there a character that you enjoyed writing more than any of the others?
I always enjoy Etienne when he shows up in a story. J He is so proper and has such dry humor.
Do you have a formula for developing characters? Like do you create a character sketch or list of attributes before you start writing or do you just let the character develop as you write?
I have a form I fill out as the information comes to me. Since my characters show up in each others books I need to keep track of the info.
What is your favorite scene from the book? Could you share a little bit of it, without spoilers of course?
Here is the scene where Thomas see's Julia for the first time.
Thomas returned to watching the party. It was dangerous to expose the king and queen to a multitude of possible attackers, no matter the location. And with a known threat existing against the royal family, the danger multiplied exponentially. The last thing he needed was a distraction, especially a female distraction, regardless of how beautiful and interesting she was.
Thomas had a well–earned reputation for sensing a threat. Whenever someone with criminal intentions was within a two–block radius of him, a frisson of awareness would make the back of his neck tingle and itch. It made it extremely uncomfortable to live in a city of any size. Even a nasty fight between spouses could set his gift off, but he was getting better at blocking the lower level threats. This useful but sometimes annoying gift was just one of many reasons why he had moved from Denver, Colorado to the bayou.
Thomas pulsed the crowd again. Over the years he had honed his gift or was it a curse, he wasn't sure which, into a precision tool. With a little concentration, he could pinpoint the location of a person emitting a threat with unbelievable accuracy.
Rubbing his palm along the back of his neck, he attempted to ease the itch. There was a low–level threat within the crowd, but with the constant flow of bodies, and the almost imperceptible vibration, he couldn't target the source. The distraction of the fascinating woman wasn't helping either.
When he had described his strange ability to his grandfather, Isaac suggested perhaps he was sending out the equivalent of sonar waves once he sensed the threat thus allowing him to pinpoint it. An interesting concept, and one he'd explore further. But right now, hundreds of possible assassins milled around the estate.
Out of frustration, he tested the crowd again to see if the cause of his unease would present itself.
His personal distraction instantly raised her head and locked eyes with him.
Huh. That's interesting.
No one else noticed the low pulse of energy he emitted, except her. He knew she felt it by her expression.
She held him spellbound with her gaze for a long minute. Startled, the breath rushed from his chest. She hadn't touched him, heck, she was a good fifty yards away, for God's sake, but he felt her palm on his cheek. With his lungs now completely devoid of air and chest constricted, he struggled to get another breath, the lack of oxygen making him lightheaded. His knees wobbled, and his lungs burned, reminding him to breathe. Worse yet, all the blood had rushed from his brain to lower regions. That was not helping him remain standing, not in the least.
He didn't dare look away in case the sensation of her hand stopped. Or continued. He was uncertain which he wanted. This reaction was completely unexpected and absolutely against his character. With his heart racing, he remained frozen beneath her invisible touch. The Strange thing was, he had no idea what he was waiting for.
Thomas puzzled out the situation. She wasn't a threat, at least not to his family. The worst she could do would be to rat him out about his gift. He felt like she'd bewitched him. And honestly, it annoyed him that she intrigued his curiosity and piqued his interest. He had no desire to have any woman peaking anything. Frowning in thought, he'd never met anyone who could feel the pulse when he emitted it. But now was not the time to examine that odd, new development.
He watched the golden-haired beauty continue to wade through the crowd. Try as he might, he couldn't take his eyes from her. Swallowing hard, he was torn between wanting to drag her away from the crowd and running in the opposite direction. Absently he cupped his jaw. He still felt her touch there, branded to his skin, and he had no idea how she'd managed it.
Shaking his head to clear it, he got back to work. There was no room in his life for women. After watching his parents' relationship, he realized that was not for him. Ever.
What is the most interesting thing you have physically done for book related research purposes?
Toured Dude ranches in Texas. That was fun!
With the book being part of a series, are there any character or story arcs, that readers jumping in somewhere other than the first book, need to be aware of? Can these books be read as stand alones?
They are all stand alone. But that being said, the characters interact in many of the books and reading from book one is best.

V.A. Dold
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Date of Publication: April 10th 2015

Word Count: 63838
Book Description:
Julia is happy with her place in the shifter community as the owner of the famous shifter bar, The Backwater. But the life she's created for herself isn't enough to satisfy her crazy-ass mother, Lucinda, who shops her and her sister, Krystal, around to the pure blood shifters like pieces of meat. Only a born shifter mate is good enough for her girls.
Thomas James has his hands full as the shifter king's head of security. He certainly wasn't looking for a girlfriend during the first annual shifter gathering. He had the king and queen to protect, not skirts to chase.
A childhood of emotional and physical abuse by his birth father has left Thomas emotionally unavailable and uninterested in romantic relationships. His father Tim's cruelty to his mother and brother molded him into an extremely protective person. No one messes with his loved ones without answering to him.
Even though Julia and Thomas are destined to be mates, the obstacles standing between them and their happily-ever-after seem insurmountable.
Lucinda insists Julia stay away from the filthy human.
Tim is trying to kill every one Thomas loves. The mysterious Benevolent Sovereign, who is trying to overthrow the throne, has sent swampers to attack Thomas and destroy Julia's livelihood.
With family like theirs, who needs enemies? Will Julia and Thomas's happiness be snuffed out before it has a chance to begin or will they forge through - obstacles be damned.
Available at Amazon
It had been a busy shift at her bar The Backwater, and she was ready to relax in a bubble bath with a good romance novel.
Julia came through the front door of her home to a horrifying sight. Her beloved novels lay shredded and callously thrown in a pile. It must be her entire collection to create a mountain of pages and covers five feet high in her living room. Next to the carnage lay a note on a side table. The room smelled of anger, frustration, and her mother.
She was going to have to store her books in a safer place from now on. Huffing out an angry breath, she picked up the note.
You need to get your head out of the clouds and look for a mate. You won't find him in one of these human books. I've had it with your lack of interest in settling down. Pick out a mate, or I will pick one for you.
"Pick one for me? She has completely lost touch with reality."
Every shifter knew you couldn't just pick any old mate; you had to find the one who held the other half of your soul. It was time for a private talk with her father. He needed to know how crazy she was acting.
Sighing, at almost two hundred, she was well past the age by which she hoped to be mated. Every year her mother had marched available men into her quaint little house like she was presenting the latest fashions, or worse, dragged her to them. Not a single one had been her other half. How exactly was she to blame for that?
Then she read the last sentence of the note.
You will attend the dance at your Uncle Isaac's on Saturday. Perhaps this time you will find your mate.
Your Mother
She audibly groaned. She hated being sniffed by every single male who came within five feet of her. It made her feel dirty. The First thing she did after these setups was take a long, hot shower.
Julia thought back to the beginning of her 'shame', as her mother described it. She had gone to yet another event where she was set out like a prize to be won. When none of the men were a match, her parents informed her they were buying the Gator's Tooth Bar and Grill, and she would be the full-time bartender. Their hopes were she would stumble upon her mate amongst the patrons and visitors. The first thing Julia had done was rename the bar The Backwater to spite her mother.
Has it really been twenty years?
"Oh well, I have six days before Isaac's party; time enough to stock up on new books. And I'm not going to waste another second thinking about the party. Take that, Mother."
At least her uncle's party actually sounded fun. Her cousins would be there, and she could hang out with them while avoiding her mother.
The Day of the Gathering
Stretching, Julia considered what to do with her free day. The gathering didn't begin until seven that evening, and since everyone was invited, The Backwater was closed for the day.
Grabbing her robe, she slipped on her bunny slippers and made a beeline to the coffee maker. Goddess, she loved her new programmable machine. No more waiting for the coffee to brew for this girl.
Steaming cup in hand, she grabbed one of her new romance novels. A friend had recommended it, saying the storyline and names sounded like her cousin, Cade, and his mate, Anna. She'd never read V.A. Dold before, but she hoped it would be as good as her friend said it was.
Not two chapters into the book and the last person she wanted to see walked through her door. Her mother. Lucinda took one look at the book and turned an interesting color of purplish red.
"Do you always barge into a person's home without knocking?" Julia asked coolly.
"Where did you get that?"
"The coffee? From the pot in the kitchen."
"You know very well I'm not talking about the coffee."
"Well, if you're referring to my NEW book, touch it and die. And if you think I'm kidding, try it."
Lucinda was dumbstruck; Julia had never spoken to her like that before.
"Since I have a day of relaxation planned, why don't you tell me why you're here so I can get back to it?"
"I bought you a dress for the gathering. I was shopping for one for myself and saw this. It's your favorite color, and I'm sure it will be stunning on you." Lucinda held it out to Julia a little hesitantly.
Interesting. She'd never seen her mother unsure of herself.
I'm going to have to tell her off more often.
"I wasn't planning on wearing a dress, but I'll try it on later and see what I think of it."
"Wonderful. We'll pick you up at six thirty."
"No. You won't. I'm going by myself."
"But you have to ride with the family."
"Because that's the way you travel to these gatherings. You arrive as a family pack."
"Then I guess I'm starting a new tradition because I'm going by myself."
Lucinda narrowed her eyes. She was so mad, Julia checked to see if steam was rising out of her ears. "You wait until I tell your father."
"Go ahead. I'm still going by myself."
Lucinda growled, spun on her heel, and slammed the door on her way out.
"Well," Julia chuckled to herself, "that was pleasant."

Aston Villa announce major losses
Tuesday 28 February 2012
Aston Villa today announced losses of almost £54 million for the year ended 31 May 2011.
The club confirmed the overall group loss for the year has increased to £53.9m from £37.6m.
That figure includes the money spent to bring Darren Bent to the club in January last year, but does not factor in the sales of Ashley Young to Manchester United and Stewart Downing to Liverpool which went through last June.
The club also revealed record revenues, with commercial income increasing by 15.9% year on year and total income by 1.3%, resulting in record income of £92m.
Villa spent £12m on changes in football management staff, with £25m invested into the club by owner Randy Lerner.
There was an £8.3m reduction in bank borrowings.
"Given the challenging economic environment that we have been experiencing in the West Midlands and indeed globally, we are pleased with the positive trends in our financial performance," chief financial officer Robin Russell said.
"The board of Aston Villa are confident that the actions taken since the end of the 2010-11 financial year have galvanised the long-term sustainability of the club and have also given us a better financial platform on which to build for future success.
"Our objectives are to compete strongly on the pitch and to achieve sustainability as well as compliance with UEFA's Financial Fair Play requirements."

Fly My Pretties keep it fresh
Relevant offers
Christchurch Music
The Fly My Pretties juggernaut is about to hit the road again.
More than a dozen musicians from different FMP incarnations have answered a call from the collective's mastermind, Barnaby Weir, to play the upcoming A Day On The Green.
Before their first gig tomorrow at Waipara's Mud House Winery, the 15-strong-band assembled in Wellington to rehearse and get back into the FMP groove.
Weir said the lineup was a re-formation rather than a new incarnation of the collective that had released four albums since forming in 2004.
"We've got Ria Hall, who is new to the Pretties but aside from that, everybody else has done a show and an album with FMP," Weir said.
"She's an award-winning singer and apart from that she brought a new song for the Pretties to play.
"It's great to have some fresh talent in the lineup but it's cool to see the old faces as well."
Hall said blending in was not too hard.
"I'm still very nervous to be around such an amazing calibre of musicians all in their own rights. The welcome has been very, very warm," she said.
"There have been a lot of emails between us because we all live in different parts of the country. So we've been learning each other's songs via the internet and then came here and hoped that we had everything on point."
Long-time collaborator Ryan Prebble has also welcomed Hall into the FMP fold.
"It's great having a fresh lineup. A lot of the people who are playing this time around haven't played with some people who are involved."
Prebble said it was easy to fall back into the vibe.
"It's quite quick because I have been involved a few times and it feels quite natural now, but I remember the first time I got involved, I was quite nervous.
"There are a lot of people you have admired for years and all of a sudden you're on a stage with them and they're playing on your songs and you're playing on their songs, that can feel a bit overwhelming but now that we're all just good mates, it's fun," he said.
The group was working on a "a best of" set.
"The set we're looking at is kind of a best of - songs from all four albums," Weir said.
"We're playing Christchurch tomorrow night. I just really want to do the best job to entertain people. We want to go down and slam Christchurch and give them a good show."
Full lineup: Amiria Grenell, Anna Coddington, L.A. Mitchell, Lisa Tomlins, Ria Hall, Adi Dick, Age Pryor, Barnaby Weir, Iraia Whakamoe, Jarney Murphy, Mara TK, Mike Fabulous, Nigel Patterson, Ryan Prebble
Fly My Pretties will be joined by The Black Seeds and the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra.
They will play the Mud House Winery in Waipara tomorrow the Alana Estate Winery in Martinborough on December 8 and Auckland's Villa Maria Estate Winery on December 16.

SHORTLISTED FOR NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR AT THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS ONE OF THE OBSERVER'S SEVEN DEBUTS THAT WILL MAKE A SPLASH IN 2014 GHOST MOTH will transport you to two hot summers, 20 years apart. Northern Ireland, 1949. Katherine must choose between George Bedford - solid, reliable, devoted George - and Tom McKinley, who makes her feel alive. The reverberations of that summer - of the passions that were spilled, the lies that were told and the bargains that were made - still clamour to be heard in 1969. Northern Ireland has become a tinderbox but tragedy also lurks closer to home. As Katherine and George struggle to save their marriage and silence the ghosts of the past, their family and city stand on the brink of collapse...Surprising, mesmerising and astonishingly written, GHOST MOTH will show you the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Lloyd expects 'toughest challenge' on Davis Cup trip
Friday 28 September 2007
Luck has generally been on John Lloyd's side in his 14 months as Britain's Davis Cup captain but fortune deserted him when the draw for next year's World Group first round was made in London yesterday. Britain will travel to Argentina in February for a tie Lloyd described as the toughest challenge any of his young team will have faced.
Following the retirements of Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski, Lloyd will put his faith in youth for what has become arguably the most difficult task in Davis Cup tennis. Since losing to Slovakia nine years ago Argentina have hosted 10 Davis Cup ties and won them all. Nine have been 5-0 whitewashes, with Australia (twice) and Russia among their victims. The only rubbers they have lost were in a 3-2 victory over Croatia five years ago.
The tie, which comes less than a fortnight after the Australian Open, is the third meeting between the two countries. Britain won in 1928, but lost in 1981 and 1989. While Lloyd's team will be playing their first match in the World Group for five years, Argentina have never been out of the top flight since returning in 2002. They reached their second final last year, taking Russia to a deciding rubber in Moscow.
A common denominator among the Argentines is their formidable ability on clay, which is the surface they look certain to choose for the tie, from 8-10 February. With 12 players in the world's top 100, they have a wealth of talent. Guillermo Canas (world No 13) is their highest ranked player ahead of Juan Ignacio Chela (16), Juan Monaco (19) and David Nalbandian (22).
In Andy and Jamie Murray Britain have world-class players in singles and doubles respectively, but Lloyd's resources are desperately thin thereafter. Alex Bogdanovic, the world No 129, is the next highest-ranked Briton in singles, followed by Jamie Baker (No 224) and Richard Bloomfield (241). "For all members of the team, including Andy, it will be the toughest challenge they have faced in their young careers," Lloyd said.
Andy Murray believes the doubles, in which he would partner his brother, could be the only rubber in which Britain would start as favourites. "I think we have a chance in three or four of the matches," he said. " If we can steal one of the first singles matches on the first day and get ahead in the doubles, then maybe we can put some pressure on them."

Did you know that each year as many as 24,000 women and girls are being sexually exploited in Chicago?
We were shocked too, and the more we learned, the more we realized that, for us, inaction wasn't an option. After much prayer, we are following God's lead to take an active role on behalf of these women.
It is with great excitement that we introduce Naomi's House, a new ministry of The Moody Church. This residential program will offer the hope and healing of Jesus to women in the Chicago area who have been sexually exploited.
