Ascenders: High School for the Recently Departed
by C.L. Gaber
Release Date: April 20th 2015

Summary from Goodreads:

Walker Callaghan doesn't know what happened to her. One minute she was living her teenage life in suburban Chicago...and the next minute, she was in a strange place and in a brand new school with absolutely no homework, no rules, and no consequences.

Walker Callaghan, 17, is dead.

She doesn't go to heaven or hell. She lands at The Academy, a middle realm where teenagers have one thing in common: They were the morning announcement at their high schools because they died young.

These high school kids are now caught in a strange “in-between” zone where life hasn’t changed very much. In fact, this special teen limbo looks a lot like life in a quaint Michigan town complete with jocks, popular girls and cliques. "There are even cheerleaders in death," Walker observes. It's not a coincidence that the music teacher is a guy named Kurt who "used to have this band." The drama teacher, Heath, is crush worthy because back in his life, he starred in some superhero movie.

Principal King explains the rules -- there are none. Why? You can't die twice.

There is no homework.
No tests.
No SATS.
You're just there to learn because the human brain isn't fully formed until you're 24.

By the way, you can't get hurt physically, so race your Harley off that hillside. But falling in love is the most dangerous thing you can do ...because no one knows how long you'll stay in this realm or what's next.

"Losing someone you love would be like dying twice," Walker says.
 * * * * * * 
Walker Callaghan has just arrived at the Academy after a tragic car accident. “Is this heaven or is this high school?” she asks.

She finds out her new life is a bit of both as she falls in love with tat-covered, bad boy Daniel Reid who is about to break the only sacred rule of this place. He's looking for a portal to return back to the living realm.

He needs just one hour to retrieve his younger brother who strangely never arrived at The Academy. Bobby is an Earth Bound Spirit, stuck at a plane crash site that took both of their lives as their rich father piloted his private jet nose-first into a cornfield on Christmas Eve.

Walker loves Daniel and risks it all to go with him.

Have they learned enough to outsmart dangerous forces while transporting a young child with them? Can their love survive the fragmented evil parts of themselves that are now hunting them down as they try to find a way back to the middle?

At the Academy, you learn the lessons of an after-lifetime.

Excerpt


Rowan picked up a small piece of white lace and looked at it. Then he placed it back on the table and picked up another piece of lace from beside it.

“This is ridiculous. Why are you spending so much time looking at lace?”

“Because I need to choose one, of course, for the tabletops” Bree replied, walking around to the opposite side of the table.

“But they are all the same…”

“No, they aren’t.”

Rowan picked up a second piece and held it beside the other in his hand.

“They look identical.”

Finn leaned over the table and pointed to the first lace. “The flowers are the same, but the border is different,” he said.

Rowan shook his head. “Why don’t you just close your eyes and pick one?” He was met with widened eyes and looks of disgust on Bree and Finn’s faces. “Or not.”

“Each piece of silkwork requires a skilled hand and many days’ time,” Bree said. “To just pick one would be incredibly rude. You must admire each design, then carefully choose a pattern that will mirror the elegance of the ceremony.”

Rowan heard her speak, but he didn’t understand a word that she said. It sounded like rubbish created to pass the time. He knew that men typically left wedding ceremony planning to women, so he still didn’t understand why Bree insisted he be there. He doubted she cared for his opinion, anyway. “Perhaps, I should leave the two of you to this matter…”

“No!” Bree said, reaching across the table to grab Rowan’s arm before he could turn away. “We don’t need to choose lace at this very moment, but we do still need to... discuss the guests.”

“We already did that, yesterday. And it’s nearly bedtime now.”

“I meant to say the food. We need to discuss the food.”

Rowan narrowed his eyes. “Breestlin…”

Bree let go of his arm and straightened up. She tried to keep her face calm but hearing him say her name that way was a clear sign that he suspected something. If she didn’t convince him otherwise, she might as well kiss her plan goodbye.

“What? Why are you looking at me that way?” she asked.

“What did you do?”

“I haven’t done anything and I am insulted that you would even suggest it.” Her attempt at denial was useless. He could read her like a book.

“What did she do?” Rowan asked, turning to Finn.

“Don’t look at me. If she is scheming, it doesn’t involve me this time.”

“Sidonie,” Rowan said, looking at Bree, again. “Where is she?”

“Upstairs, I believe,” Bree replied. “With Sarita.” That much was true.

Rowan stared at her but didn’t say a word.

“Stop staring. It’s incredibly annoying, Rowan. Stop.”

“I know you’re up to something.”

“I am not. And even if I were, it is none of your concern.” She looked down and pretended to brush something off of her skirts.

“Ha! I knew it. Don’t you remember what happened the last time you interfered in matters that didn’t involve you?

“How was I to know that the fairy queen would force them to marry!” Immediately, Bree knew that she had told him exactly what he wanted to hear. The smirk he was now giving her was proof. Damn.

About the Author

Writing has always been a hobby of mine, beginning as a young child. It was a way to cope with losing my father at seven years of age. I started with poetry and was featured several times on the amazing poetry blog, Autumn Leaves, by Sondra Ball. My love for poetry soon led to writing songs in middle school and beyond, which I still do occasionally. Music has always been an important part of my existence, so writing songs came naturally to me. In high school, I started my own novel, however, life got in the way and I never finished it.

Fast forward many years later and I find myself married with three children, absorbed in my busy life with commitments to my family, work, school, church, and charities, among other things. One day I came across my old binder, with notes from my first novel, and it was with those notes that I conjured up the elusive Everealm.

I write to please readers such as myself, who have a love for fantasy and romance, but like a little danger and sex in their reading. I wrote the book with a mature audience in mind, who can appreciate a hearty imaginary world with magic and the unknown, but want more than fluffy love stories with wizards in them. They want the romance, magic, and danger, all wrapped into one.

HONOR by J.L. Drake
Series: Blackstone Series # 1
Genre: A Military Romantic Suspense

SYNOPSIS:
Bullets fly during a dangerous mission, and Major Mark Lopez is critically injured… 

A Blackstone soldier, Mark is transferred to the North Dakota hospital with the security clearance to treat members of the elite covert team. The pretty new nurse assigned to his case knows her stuff, but Mark soon discovers she knows more than just how to save lives. Mia Harper knows the Blackstone Code. 

Mia is a bit of gypsy and doesn’t engage much with people—but there’s something about her mysterious new patient… 

After Mark recovers from surgery, he is discharged from the hospital with orders to rest. Not that he does. Instead he rushes to México for the team’s next assignment. But when he returns to the hospital again and again with minor—and not so minor—injuries, Mia suspects he’s only coming to see her. Romance ignites, and because Mia signed a non-disclosure agreement at the hospital, Mark is able to open up more with Mia than any other woman. 

Some debts demand payment in either cash or blood… 

When someone from Mark’s past comes to him for help, old secrets start to resurface, and more blood is shed. Worlds collide and lies are exposed in an all-or-nothing underground poker game. 

Mark must put his life on the line to keep Mia safe…and to finally learn the answer to the question that’s haunted him his whole life. 

What really happened that night twenty-five years ago?

- EXCERPT - *** UNEDITED AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE ***

My head hurt, my side hurt and this goddam place wouldn’t give me any food.

The sheets need to be burned, the walls are insanely bright, and they need some fucking food! I can’t wait until they deliver my Jell-O? Really Jell-O? That shouldn’t ever be considered food. They bring it in and they take it back out. Get the fucking point! I hate Jell-O!

“What-up sunshine?” Cole smirked from the door way, and by the look of it he had been watching me.

“Go away.”

“Still milking it?”

“Screw off.”

“Aw, someone seems a little pissy, what they not feeding you?” My face flinched but he saw it. His hand flew to his chest, “ah brother, I wish you were there last night Abby made one huge rib eye, with this sauce that was—.”

“You’re dead to me.”

He laughed as he jumped forward moving out of the way for…there she was.

“Hey guys,” she beamed as she headed for my IV. “Now, you look much better,” she gave me a wink.

Cole shot me a look, as he checked her out.

“Savannah,” I mouth back getting a middle finger.

She flipped opened my chart before she asked, “how are you, Colonel?” 

“Quite well, thanks,” he glanced at me, “Mia.”

Really asshole, first name basis?

“Good,” she looked at him, as I flipped him the finger back, “glad to hear it.”

Cole’s phone went off, he excused himself from the room.

Yes, leave.

Mia took a moment to finish the paperwork as I watched her swipe her long bangs out of her line of sight.

“Deep green.” My voice was gruff.

She looked up, “pardon?”

“The color of your eyes, they’re deep green.”

The corners of her eyes crinkled as her cheeks pinked up turning them a few shades darker. 

“Good,” there was a lightness to her voice. She slid the chart into the sleeve on the end of the bed. “What day is today?”

“Wednesday.”

“What’s your name Major?”

 “Major Mark Lopez, with the United States Army.”

“Good.” She went to move.

“My turn.” I stated. “What’s your name?”

“Huh,” she chuckled as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “Mia Harper, I’m a nurse for North Dakota Hospital.”

= SYNOPSIS =
After
a tragic plane crash kills Jennie Taylor’s guardians, she returns to her
childhood home—and her first love, Jared Stewart.
At just eighteen years old, Jennie had left the Unicorn Ranch
in Texas to seek a life in the outside world. But she wasn’t just running
toward independence. Heartbroken and confused, Jennie fled her home after Jared

Now she must choose between making a new life on the ranch

The choice seems obvious at first, but nothing in life is simple…
Jared

can't have.
               
When Jennie receives an anonymous note, she goes
to Jared for support. But what she finds is more than she was prepared for,
driving the two further apart than ever. When an old friend is murdered and suspicious
accidents escalate, endangering Jennie’s safety, Jared becomes her reluctant
protector.
Jennie knows Jared is hiding something, but does he really
want her gone from the ranch? And if so, could he be the one behind the ominous
threats?
Determined
to prove Jared isn't involved, Jennie turns detective. Can she succeed in her
courageous but reckless investigation…or is the truth a dangerous gift she
won’t survive?

‘Writing has touched my life in every decade. At fifty, I took a risk and made writing my career, fulfilling a lifetime ambition.’

 I enjoy writing blogs, book reviews and especially stories. Vivid imagery, atmospheric settings, strong females and sensual males are essential for my stories. Everyday life and ordinary people inspire me. How would someone react, if faced with something extraordinary?  A thread of romance runs through my all my books, whether they be suspense, fantasy or historical.
I want to let my readers escape their lives for a while, experience new places, new people and most importantly, new emotional lows and highs My favorite parts of the writing process are; finding a person, event or place that makes me want to write a story about it and the writing itself; when your fingers cannot type fast enough, to transcribe your thoughts.

 Family is very important to me. My two children are my greatest achievement to date.
I am an animal welfare supporter and regularly use social media to promote animal welfare issues.
