Tammie's Newsletter
Have a great Fourth of July
Firs off I want to thank you for taking the time to read my newsletter. I write under two different names: Tamia Dawn Osburn and Lynette Springs.
Writing as Tamia Dawn Osburn... The Wizard which is book 4 in my Wiccan/Alliance series has been reviewed at Fallen Angels Reviews. I got thee out of five Angels.
Lynette Springs will be making her debut soon at Titan Press with Haunted Investigators and with Genie in a Bottle at Stardust Press
Haunted Investigators is a tale of behind the scenes look of a paranormal TV show. Even though this team of investigators hunts haunted houses, they also try to solve what really happened.
The first investigations takes place in a small community in California called Tevistion, the community does exist.
The unsolved murder does exist as well but I've changed the name and location of the family to help protect any surviving family and friends. The outcome of the murder is purely fiction since the murdered family was never solved.
My heart and prayers goes out to this family.
The second part of the book takes us to the desert valley of California and is pure fiction as well. It was all made up in my demented mind.
Genie in a Bottle is both Paranormal and Sci-fi and time travel.
Thalia Vasco was a genie in 67 B.C. She was imprisoned in a bottle floating in space because she refused to grant her master his wish for immortality. If the bottle was found and she was released within 24 hours, the bottle would vanish until she was found once again.
It took almost four thousand years until she was found by Rhys Whelan. During a heated attack on his ship, the bottle broke, releasing Thalia from her imprisonment. She was finally free at last.
Rhys Whelan was the captain of his ship when he was doing a routine practice run with his fighter pilots. He came across a pink-gem gilded bottle floating among an asteroid field he hid in. Someone should’ve told him that bringing an unknown bottle on board his ship would bring him nothing but bad luck. And a mystery woman on his ship. Also a breed of dogs that was long extinct.
Rhys should’ve left the woman named Thalia alone when she showed that she wasn’t interested in him but he couldn’t. Not when every time he looked at her and his heart began racing. Not when he desired her more than anything possible even more than the mission at hand to Liran.
One kiss wouldn’t be enough for Captain Rhys Whelan during the trip to a war-torn planet that General Vallerii had sent him to meet with an informant. The informant had something that the Dominion needed to know and that someone was selling illegal weapons for the cause on Liran.
The meeting was to take place but it never happened since someone had dropped a bomb on the team causing Rhys to be seriously injured. Thalia had no choice but to heal him then told him the truth about who and what she was.
Rhys finally found out who and what Thalia really was and was stunned. Once the surprise wore off, he couldn’t seem to keep his hands off of her. Together they burned the sheets in his bedroom while trying to figure what Gente, the rebel leader on Liran wanted. Rhys gave him a private meeting after Thalia went down to the planet and noticed that he could be trusted.
Thalia also discovered that General Vallerii was also Thorne. When she tried to convince Rhys with the truth about and he wouldn’t listen. Until one day, Sabrina, Thalia’s sister and Thorne’s genie finally made her escape onto Rhys’ ship. There, Rhys comes to terms that Thalia was telling the truth about General Vallerii.
Thalia makes a clone of Sabrina to keep Thorne at bay while they escaped to Earth, Rhys’ home planet. Thalia makes a plan of her own to keep Sabrina away from Thorne forever.
The Wizard
Daemon, wizard of the planet Wiccan, is on Earth looking for the long-lost twin sister of Phania, the dead wife of his friend Kosek. Before her death, Phania had admitted that she falsified the results of the Mate Search, so that Kosek would marry Phania instead of her twin, who was his true mate. While Daemon is on Earth, he begins to have Shared Dreams, which is a part of the Mate Search process, so he knows that his own true mate is somewhere on the planet. Since the dreams emanated from her rather than from himself, he also knows her to be a strong, if untrained wizard in her own right.
Leeza and Megan have been friends from the time they met as children in the orphanage. Leeza never knew her parents; Megan’s parents died when she was very young. Now, the two women are sheriff’s deputies in the town of Moonscroft, California. Though neither has revealed it to the other, they are both having disturbing dreams which are keeping them on edge and worried. When Daemon and Kosek locate Leeza and Megan, they must take them home to the planet Wiccan and convince them to stay as their mates.
This is another book in Osburn’s series about the planet Wiccan. I must be honest and say that, in my opinion, the other books in the series are better than this one. Part of the reason for this is, I believe, a result of the author employing several plot threads in parallel, which seemed to slow the pace of the story down. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the book, and think it would be a good summer or beach read. The characters are interesting and have legitimate problems and motivations for their actions. The male/female love scenes are quite steamy and sensual, but not terribly graphic. I loved going back to the world of Wiccan, and look forward to reading more about its people in further installments.
