Brandon Anderson loves taking chances...


Hi, I'm Brandon, Lana Anderson's twin brother. Her book was Extrasensory Elements Series Book 1-Author's Demise. Sure, she's a few minutes older than me, but I'm much taller and she doesn't have my daredevil attitude.


Imagine my surprise when, after many years of being single, I found the woman of my dreams who fell right out of the sky and into my arms. That's right. I'm a professional skydiver. Erin Bond surprised the hell out of me when she took off her helmet after being hurt when she landed. The fact that I'd hired the idiot who tandem jumped with her and caused the sprained ankle in the first place didn't help.


The only problem I had with keeping Erin in my life was the visions I've had of her being shot in the back...just before I too die.


Extrasensory Elements Series Book 2-I B Jumpin' comes out August 5th. You won't want to miss this one, believe me. It's a killer!

Gemini Knight Strives To Become A Competent Witch...but can she?


My skills as a modern day witch are sorely lacking, yet somehow I managed to 'pop' into a gorgeous hunks bedroom at an appropriate moment. Catching him off guard, I saw him in his glory, fresh out of the shower. Yummy, is all I can say about him. Before he could react, I left with my best friend, Keira, and went home to dream all night about him. He was the kind of man I'd want for a husband, if only just to stare at him.

Muscles head to toe, tall, dark, handsome, and those sexy dark -rown eyes that made me want to melt in my tracks. Even though I covered my tracks, he found me the very next day at my hair salon. I was so stunned that I 'popped out' not realizing I took him with me until we ended up in a Dumpster covered in spagetti noodles. What a hoot!

He laughed so hard, tears came from his eyes. I think at that moment we fell in love.

The only thing was that he was Braxton Thorne of the infamous Thorne brothers who have been having a feud with my family for decades.

Brax promised not to kill me, and I promised not to turn him into a toad. It was a perfect match from the start, until I had to meet 'the family' and a greedy wizard tried to kidnap me to capture all my powers. Who knew I was so powerful?

Time To Live Again - A Heroine's Thoughts


I just wanted to be left alone. Was that too much to ask? After my parents died days apart, I missed them immensely. But that wasn’t nothing compared to the grief I experienced when my beloved husband, Frank, passed away six months later.


Fortunately, Mary, my sister helped me through somewhat. But she didn’t really understand. How could she? She still went to bed with her husband every night. That was the worst. Those long, lonely nights. The days I muddled through, but I hated nighttime. I hated sleeping in that big empty bed.


I vowed never to marry again. I never wanted to experience that kind of pain again. Nope, marriage or a relationship wasn’t for me. I’d live out my life alone.


Then Mary died. Just like that. No warning, nothing. Just up and died. That was the last straw. I couldn’t let anyone get close to me. Well, no one but my best and only friend, Louise, because she wouldn’t give up.


My kids moved away and that was okay. They’d get used to me not being around and when I passed they wouldn’t experience that horrible pain and loss. At least that’s what I thought, what

I told myself. I couldn’t have been more wrong.


But this year something is different. This year I’m feeling melancholy. I’m missing Frank and Mary, missing my Christmas decorations. To make matters worse, Stephen, the man next door, keeps trying to speak to me. Heck, he even brought me a rose. For friendship, he said. Frank used to bring me roses all the time. Stephen awakens feelings in me that I don’t care to feel.
And his granddaughter and her friends are harassing me, sledding and building snowmen in my yard. Bringing back memories I want to keep buried. Memories of when my children were young. Memories of me and Frank helping build snowmen and sledding. Memories of a happier time.

As if that wasn’t enough, my sister’s ghost showed up. Heck, I don’t even believe in ghosts. But there she was, big as life, badgering me about giving life a chance. My life is just fine the way it is. Why is she bothering me?

Of course, she disagreed. Somehow, she managed to shake things up. Got me to thinking. Not something I wanted to do. Kept on about the man next door, insisted I give him a chance. She just didn’t get it. I wanted to be left alone. But she wasn’t about to leave me alone.
And then Louise had a heart attack. What if I lost her too? Suddenly, there was so much to think about. Yet, I resisted. I didn’t want to think, it was too painful.

Read my book, Time to Live Again to see how my life turns around.


Time to Live Again is available from Red Rose Publishing, www.redrosepublishing.com and www.amazon.com

Heroine, Lana Anderson tells her side today!

Welcome to my world. I'm being stalked by a killer because I approve romance novels. Just because there are murder scenes in them, it doesn't give the creep the right to kill my authors using the same methods they write about nor to terrorize me.

When Brett Colton came into my life, I finally felt safe for the first time in months, yet even then, the psycho worked harder to increase my fears. Imagine finding things on your doorstep that sent willies up your spine and receiving quotes from Shakespeare to make your skin crawl.

Brett tends to distract me from all that and accepts me for who I am as well as enjoying my psychic abilities. That is, until he finds himself the recipricant of them. Then he gets pissed!

Yet when he kisses me my toes curl. He's such a passionate alpha male. I know he'll save me in the end, though I plan on saving him and everyone else who's in danger first. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if I survive long enough to share my life with him.

Extrasensory Elements Series Book 1-Author's Demise is available now at www.redrosepublishing.com and www.amazon.com by Franny Armstrong
You won't want to miss this paranormal romantic suspense. It might curl your toes too!

Thankful Giving

I have much to be thankful for. My health for one after many years of suffering, but writing has given me new purpose and I'm healing slowly, day by day.

On December 10th my first 'baby', romance novel SMALL PACKAGES-A CHRISTMAS STORY comes out. I can't even describe (and me being an author) the feelings of euphoria I have from the knowledge that after 7 years of working, learning, and growing, I finally have a beginning in sight.

Then, come April ( a day after my birthday we think) my grandson, Brock William Daniel will be born. I can't wait to hold him in my arms, smell his fresh baby scent (without chemical fragrances I hope) and share in my family's joy at his arrival.

Every day is thanksgiving to me.
Hugs
Franny
