Excerpt:
With the sound of her mom’s grief wafting up to her, Jolie came to terms with
her present state. I’m dead and now my mom knows it. She eyed the
door in front of her. She hadn’t yet walked through a door, but if her hand
could pass through metal then she knew she could move through wood.
If I have to be a ghost then I’ll be
a damn good one. All across the afterlife I’ll be known as the Ghost of Death!
And I’m going to start by walking through this damn door!
She
would’ve taken a deep breath to brace herself if she could have, so she
mentally pumped herself up instead. You can do it! Easy-peasy. Nothing to
it. And she took a step forward. Solid matter slipped around and through
her form. On the other side, a familiar site confronted her: a black and white
bed, the bright green shag carpet in the middle of the room, and a white desk.
Stepping up to her desk, Jolie eyed her ancient desktop computer, the one she
used before her dad gifted her with a laptop when she announced she was
accepted to the local university. Wanting to send out the first ever tweet from
the afterlife, she pushed the button to bring the device to life, but her
finger poker straight through it. Resigning to her Twitter-less fate, she moved
toward the full-length mirror hanging on the wall. She saw nothing. Not even a
shimmer in the air hinted at her presence.
Being
a ghost sucks!

Book Description:
For the past six months, time-traveler Victoria Ashton has been living life as Katherine Kamarov on a ranch in rural California, circa 1890. A contrast to Katherine’s brash personality, shy and gentle Victoria has won the hearts of Katherine’s family and particularly her cousin Michael. Despite her deepening love for Michael, she has rejected his offer of marriage and sent him away, knowing that she must return to her own time on the night of the new spring moon.
In this third and final book of the series, sinister forces threaten Victoria’s new family, her property, and even her life, testing her for courage and ingenuity. A confident new self emerges, and when Michael unexpectedly walks back into her life, she questions whether she must remain a victim of fate or can find a way to determine her own future.
Meanwhile, Katherine has been living a parallel year of exchange in Victoria’s modern-day life, married to the handsome but remote Ryan Ashton. Hardened by her past, Katherine nevertheless falls for Ryan and, like Victoria, begins to search for a way to defy fate and keep the life she has come to cherish.
As the night of the new spring moon approaches, both women must search their hearts to discover how to hold onto what matters most, even if they should be forced back through the barrier of time.

The color of Vengeance - Review , Giveaway and virtual book tour
THE COLOUR OF VENGEANCE
♥ AUTHOR – Kim Headlee
♥ TITLE – The Color of Vengeance
♥ SERIES – The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles
♥ GENRE – Early Medieval Historical Fiction
BOOK SYNOPSIS
Vengeance was the only burial gift he could bestow.
When
Angli cattle thieves slaughter his wife and son, Dwras son of Gwyn vows
revenge upon their murderers. But how can a mere farmer prevail against
ruthless, trained warriors? For the answer Dwras must look not to his
sword, but within his heart.
At
5,000 words, this is a quick, and equally fast-moving read. Told from
two viewpoints, that of the protagonist and the antagonist. There is a
fairly brief mention of Arthur, but the main protagonist is Dwras.
After seeing his wife and baby son brutally slaughtered all he wants is
revenge, but as a simple farmer, he does not have either the skill or
weapons to fight the evil marauders.Being Welsh myself, and proud of my Celtic heritage, I could relate to the characters and incidents in this story. The descriptive passages are well written and the scenes unfolded before me like a film. I would have liked a little more of 'the Pendragon' being also keenly interested in the Arthurian legends, but then this is the tale of Dwras and his quest for revenge. He learns to wield a sword in the service of Arthur and is finally ready to wreak vengeance on those who murdered his family. The climax is bloody and thrilling with a fairly predictable twist, but this is, in itself, a satisfying conclusion and means the character has changed and developed considerably from the person he was at the start.. I enjoyed this short read and would like to read more of Kim Iverson's work.

EXCERPT
Dwras jabbed the offending warrior on the shoulder. With a grunt, the man swung his head around to fix narrow eyes upon him.
“What d’ye want?”
“My seat. I want it back.” Dwras lowered his eyebrows. “Now!”
“You—what?” The Lothian warrior’s laughter nearly made him choke. A grinning companion slapped his back.
“Oho, Farmer Dwras thinks he’s one of us, lads,” chortled another warrior, making a shooing motion. “Be off with you! Back to your pigs, farmer boy.”
They burst into cackles, hoots, and hog calls. Dwras felt his cheeks flush.
The warrior in Dwras’s seat found himself buried under sops and ale.
“My mistake, sir.” He grinned devilishly. “I thought this was the sty.”
AUTHOR BIO
Kim Headlee lives on a farm in southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, goats, Great Pyrenees goat guards, and assorted wildlife. People and creatures come and go, but the cave and the 250-year-old house ruins—the latter having been occupied as recently as the mid-twentieth century—seem to be sticking around for a while yet.
Kim is a Seattle native and a direct descendent of twentieth-century Russian nobility. Her grandmother was a childhood friend of the doomed Grand Duchess Anastasia, and the romantic yet tragic story of how Lydia escaped Communist Russia with the aid of her American husband will most certainly one day fuel one of Kim’s novels. Another novel in the queue will involve her husband’s ancestor, the seventh-century proto-Viking king of the Swedish colony in Russia.
For the time being, however, Kim has plenty of work to do in creating her projected 8-book Arthurian series, The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles, and other novels under her imprint, Pendragon Cove Press. She has been a published novelist since 1999, beginning with the original editions of Dawnflight (Sonnet Books, Simon & Schuster, ISBN 0671020412) and Liberty (writing as Kimberly Iverson, HQN Books, Harlequin, ISBN 0373771347).
