The Story Continues across North Carolina

 Happy, Happy Friday the 13th!

Although I was not born in North Carolina, I have come to love this part of our fabulous country. After traipsing around the state, mostly using recommendations by my sisters who had relocated here years before, I discovered the North Carolina Museum of Art. It swept me away and when its 164 acres brought me to the open-air Rodin Garden, I was hooked. Huge statues by the sculptor, Auguste Rodin, made ideas swim in my writer's mind. The result?

The Warriors in Bronze series.

Published April 15: HEAVEN-SENT WARRIOR

Asleep inside a bronze statue, a naked Frenchman wakes a century later to save a half-Fae, museum curator from a demon bent on ruling our present-day world.

Published May 15: HEAVEN-SENT HIGHLANDER

A Scottish Highlander falls in battle only to awaken beside bronze statues at a present-day museum. Befriended by a beautiful Fae creature and her allies, he must defeat a demon or die.

To be Published June 15: HEAVEN-SENT FLAME

An English lass grows up in a Scottish coven only to awaken in a strange new world with sculptures, a handsome man, and a hate-filled demon. Falling in love while saving the world was not the plan!

The beginning of summer is right around the corner, so these books make great 'beach reads.' Will you consider adding one to your beach chair?

Now in Print!

My 28th book, Heaven-sent Highlander, was released during the pandemic, and the ebook has  entertained those who have chosen to stay at home...and read.

Downloaded ebooks are great, but many people prefer actual books. You know...the paper-filled pages between brightly decorated covers. Well, today I would love to announce the print release by Soul Mate Publishing of

HEAVEN-SENT FLAME

Here's an excerpt to get your attention:

A white Samoyed ran into the barn and jumped up, slamming his paws on Sam’s chest. He kissed and licked Sam’s chin. Sam rubbed his hands through the dog’s thick white fur, and then introduced him to Marigold. 

“This is Ivor. He belongs to Kenzie’s grandmother, the woman I told you about. The one who used her powers to enhance my fighting staff.”

“The one who is Fae? Like Gwen and Alex?”

“Gwen, yes. No one is like Alex,” he grumbled. He shouldn’t still feel animosity toward the Heaven-sent Highlander. The man had vanquished a demon, fallen in love with his cousin, and would soon be the father of her child. Alex had rubbed him the wrong way from the first moment they’d met. Sam had worried he’d take advantage of his troubled cousin but love prevailed.

Love? Ha! That’s a Faerie tale.

Ivor seemed to notice Marigold standing motionless nearby. He jumped down from Sam and barked at her. She smiled and held out her hand for the dog to smell. She acted unafraid. Did she sense Ivor’s otherworldly status? More importantly, would the Hellhound realize Marigold was a Heaven-sent warrior? One of the good guys? Or, would he attack her?

May Celebrations?

I don't feel much like celebrating, The last two months have been very trying, so I should be hopeful that May will be better. I could learn a thing or two from Luke Skywalker.

When your droid disappears (insert toilet paper), get out of your comfort zone and go find him. 

When bad things happen to your relatives (such as COVID-19), find a friend to commiserate with. like Obi Wan.

Luke found himself in a new world, with good and bad people, but he learns to endure and grow. You can, too, just like my characters in Heaven-sent Flame.

So, I will try to better myself during this pandemic while networking with friends, family, and readers any way possible. Enjoy the day!

More HOT NEWS from Author Nancy Lee Badger

I learned how to use ZOOM! This means I can network with fellow writers in two of my favorite groups: the Triangle Association of Freelancers and the Heart of Carolina Romance writers.

I use the laptop to travel around the internet a lot, but I have never used the camera in order to see myself or others. I am posting on Facebook, Twitter, and various blogs in order to promote my new book, Heaven-sent Flame, but connecting with other writers is so refreshing. I miss in-person business meetings, but sitting comfortably in my own home is fine. I already signed up for a mini-conference that will take place on-line via ZOOM.

Promotion is one job I can do from home during North Carolina's stay-at-home order. A pandemic like the current COVID-19 is a worry and a major inconvenience, but I will adapt. I am adapting, as are other writers.

What will the future bring? Nobody knows. Read a book, stay safe, wash your hands, and let me know if you find toilet paper! 

Release Day!

April 22nd was RELEASE DAY for my 28th book, Heaven-sent Flame. In this time of uncertainty, I am glad I work from home. I do miss volunteering as an EMT and Firefighter in the small town of Rumney, New Hampshire, but our move to Raleigh, North Carolina has given me the opportunity to follow my passion to read and write books. Here is a little bit about the 3rd and final book in my Warriors in Bronze series set in both Scotland and North Carolina:

An English lass grows up in a Scottish coven only to awaken in a strange new world with sculptures, a handsome man, and a hate-filled demon. Falling in love while saving the world was not the plan!

Excerpt from Heaven-sent Flame

Sam slammed the door behind them and threw the bolt. He pushed a button, and a grinding growl was followed by gathering darkness.

“What is that noise?” she yelled over the din, lowering her sword. Until he gave her a full explanation of why he pulled her back into his house, she would stay ready.

“The automatic shutters cover the front windows and the ones on both sides at the touch of a button. I use Bahama-style shutters on the side facing the road and inlet. I will leave them open, so we can keep tabs on the storm.”

More odd words, but if automatic shutters and Bahama shutters protected Sam’s home, that was all that mattered.

As he turned toward her to say something else, the lights inside the house blinked out. He flicked a switch on the wall bedside the door, but nothing happened. “I can wait a bit before pulling them all closed in a few minutes. Otherwise, we’ll be in the dark.”

“I understand.”

“I’m so sorry.” He hugged her, keeping her weapon at a safe distance.
