~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~

My name is Wendi Hulsey. I was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee. After several vacations to the sunshine state, my husband and I fell in love with the warm weather and decided to have a house built in Florida. I miss my family and friends up north;however, I will never regret not having to shovel snow again. I have been a registered nurse for about ten years. I currently work on a medical/surgical unit, preferring to work the night shift.

My husband and I have been married for sixteen years, and I appreciate his support during this endeavor. I have one son who is a hard working grown man now living on his own. He has blessed me with the most precious grandson and a wonderful future daughter in law. My daughter is a beautiful and smart teenager who excels at just about anything she tries. She enjoys playing soccer and we have spent numerous hours on various soccer fields. I am blessed to have my mother, a retired cook, living with me and she is a great help with cooking, cleaning, and chauffeuring the teenager. Other members of our family include; one dog, one cat, two turtles and several fish.

My love for reading began at the age of twelve on a stormy day. With nothing to do I was bugging my mother, she said, “Go read a book.” I have never stopped. As a teenager, I preferred horror books, mainly Stephen King. As I age, my reading tastes change and I currently read mysteries, romance, or erotica. It has always been my dream to write a book. Although writing is a hobby for me, I hope to produce a book to the best of my abilities and hope you have enjoyed what you read. Thank you for your support.

~Excerpt~

The sound of his footfalls fill the small space, approaching on me slowly, deliberately, until I see his feet on the floor between mine, his bare feet and bare legs. Strong hands lift the heavy coat off me and toss it to the floor beside us and then return to my shoulders where they begin to coil up my hair. A familiar hardness presses into the small of my back.


"I've been thinking about you all day," Justin whispers into my ear, making my knees weak.

"And what, exactly, were you thinking about?" I breathe, praying for his magical hands.


His left hand pulls my hair, turning my face toward his. "I thought about making you cry with pleasure. It's the only way I can tolerate your devastating absence." He quickly bites my lower lip, tempting me. "I love you, Warrior. And I need you."

~ABOUT THE AUTHOR~

Indie Author with my first Romance novel, Charity's Warrior, and now the second in the series, Charity’s Secrets, publishing on Amazon Kindle, Creatspace, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.

I'm very passionate about writing stories full of love, lust, eroticism, and strong characters entwined around each other in an interesting, suspenseful journey.

East coast born and raised, I'm married, extremely happily, with 4 kids, 3 of which are now young adults (not sure when that happened).

I’m a COO in my technology-based "day job,” which requires a mix of technical and creative writing for both internal and client-facing materials, but it was not satisfying my artistic spirit. Writing the “Charity” series has been absolutely fulfilling and exciting.

My favorite writing takes place on my phone while lying on the Southernmost Beach in Key West, where I try to go at least twice a year.

~REVIEW~ Mine to Tarnish by Janeal Falor

Title: Mine to Tarnish

Author: Janeal Falor

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: December 6th

Synopsis

Katherine’s place is the same as any woman’s—on the shelf next to the dresses and bolts of cloth. When she’s sold to a warlock, life grows even bleaker. Her new owner is as old and rancid as he is cruel, driving her to do the unthinkable: run.

Nothing prepared her for being on her own. And she’s definitely unprepared for the warlocks hunting her down. But she must stay one step ahead because if caught, the best she can hope for is death.

~MY REVIEW~

After reading You Are Mine I could not wait until the next book in the series. In “You are Mine”, I thought that Katherine was a wonderful person and had hoped to read her story about her life before she became a Tarnish. So when I found out “Mine to Tarnish” was her novella I was anxiously awaiting for it. When I got this baby in my email I quickly finished my book as the moment to start it. And just like the first book I was not disappointed!

Like Serena, Katherine is expected to be owned by a master and to do as the Women’s Canon says. She has always known that one day she would be bought by a Warlock, if her blood was good. So when the time arrives, even though she hates everything about her society and rebels against it whenever she can, she is prepared to be taken away from her home.  What she doesn’t expect is for her new master to be cruel and disgusting. So with the help of her mother Katherine makes the ultimate decision. She goes on the run.

Katherine is sent to the safest place her mother knows, the Tarnish community. And after Charles, a male Tarnish, saves her he takes her into hiding with the others. But Elton, her new master, does not give up easily. When he comes looking for Katherine they all must go on the run, separately. While Charles and Katherine make their way to their new hiding spot, both fight for their life. In the end Katherine is set free, but at a high cost. 

And of course there is a romance in this book. Charles was a wonderful character and I loved his need to protect Kat at all cost. Following Katherine along as she discovers that all males aren’t the same and that Charles cares for her was wonderful. Like the first, there wasn’t a full out declaration of love, which I expected, but it was still just as great to read. 

My one wish is that this book would have been longer. Kat and Charles’s story was so great to read that I wish it would have continued beyond the end. I cannot wait to read the next book and to hopefully get a glimpse into the lives of the characters we’ve been introduced to so far. 

(You are Mine does not have to be read before this one. You should read it as well though!)
Happy Reading!!
