Guest Post: Running in Circles by Siobhan Kinkade

Running in Circles

[Pause for large yawn and coffee slurp]

Morning, everyone. Long day yesterday. Late night last night. It’s a bit hard to get motivated. In fact, I didn’t finish this blog post until late yesterday afternoon, so I’m sure my lovely hosts are ready to throttle me for being so slack.

I swear I have a reason.

[Pause for another round of coffee slurping]

My name is Siobhan, and I’m an author. I’m also two dozen other things all at one time – working Administrative Professional, Civitan, wife, mother, scapegoat…you name it, I probably have the hat and t-shirt to mark that adventure. Needless to say, finding time to be the writer (which is what I really want to be when I grow up) isn’t easy.  If I could just sit down and write all the time, I’d be a very happy little girl. 

Nope, doesn’t work that way.

All of a sudden, she finds herself thrust into the dangerous and alluring world of the supernatural and into the arms of two very sexy and deadly vampires.

Bring Down The Furies

Sherman’s troops burned it the first time. Now a serial arsonist threatens a small South Carolina town and private investigator Quint Mitchell is caught in the backdraft. When Quint follows the “Heartthrob Bandit” to the hamlet of Allendale, he finds himself in the crossfire of an ugly cultural war between an ultraconservative minister and the scientist who may have discovered proof of the oldest humans ever found in North America. As the heat grows more intense, arson turns to murder, and Quint is embroiled in a growing firestorm that threatens to destroy Allendale for the second time. A media frenzy surrounding the clash of faith and science whips emotions to a fiery crescendo. With time running out, Quint is the only man standing between a vicious killer with nothing to lose and his plan to bring down the furies on Allendale and Quint.
