NASW AUTHOR HIGHLIGHT!!!


Adriana Ryan writing as S.K. Falls

Most you should know by now that Darra and I are participating in the NASW13 Blog Tour!! We are really excited to get to try some new authors. As we looked at the list Adriana Ryan is one that stood out for us. We looked up the books that she has written and are really excited to start reading them. They all seem very different from each other.  I am going to put the synopsis up for some of them so that maybe you can get a jump start on reading!!

World of Shells and Bones Synopsis:

In a world ravaged by a nuclear holocaust, Vika Cannon knows there are no guarantees: no guarantees of safety, no guarantees that your neighbor is not actually a spy for the government, and no guarantees you’ll be allowed to emigrate to a new life in China.
New Amana is dying. Food and water are scarce, and people suffering from radiation-caused mutations—the Nukeheads—are the new class of homeless. 
Vika has just one purpose: to produce healthy progeny using a Husband assigned by the Match Clinic. Unhealthy children are carted away to Asylums to be experimented on, just as Vika’s little sister Ceres was, eight years ago. Parents incapable of producing healthy progeny are put to death in gas chambers.
When she’s assigned a Husband shortly after her twentieth birthday, Vika expects him to be complacent and obedient. But Shale Underwood has a secret. He is a member of the Radicals, the terrorist group intent on overthrowing the government. And Shale has information about Ceres.
As she learns more about the Rads’s plan, Vika finds herself drawn to Shale in ways she’d never imagined. When freedom calls in the way of a healthy pregnancy, will she betray her government and risk death for Shale and Ceres?

Enlightened Synopsis:

Small-town vet tech Nisha Moore is committed to a humdrum existence. She tries hard to ignore that she can feel departed animals' souls. And gorgeous Cal Benton, the veterinarian for whom she works? She's content to ignore that he's madly in love with her as well.
Then Nisha's pet cat begins to talk, claiming to be her Guardian. A member of the elite Awakened bloodline, Nisha's unfurling supernatural talents make her a target of the Fraternity. Demons in the Fraternity want only one thing: to harvest the Awakened and make their talents their own.
In an effort to coerce Nisha to surrender, the demon embarks on a bloody killing spree in Stanton, South Carolina. As people she cares about are picked off one by one, Nisha Awakens. Her talent? Telepathic communication with animals.
With a loyal pack of dogs by her side, Nisha is sure the demon can be annihilated. But he has a grim surprise for her. Two people she loves have been taken hostage, and she has a choice to make. Is her life worth both of theirs?

Possession Synopsis:

After I left for college, I thought I’d never see Eden again. But I found myself headed back four years later, destitute and unable to find a job anywhere else. Still, I was adamant nothing would keep me there for long.
Then I met the intoxicating Dax Allard. Copper-colored eyes, skin that emanated an exceptional heat, and a host of strange talents… It wasn't long before I was drunk on him.
But Dax’s past was darker than mine, teeming with ancient secrets. Falling for him could cost me my life.
I had two choices: walk away or deal with the perilous consequences.
It was no choice at all.

This is part I of a serial novel, and runs about 14,000 words or 55 pages long.

They all sound pretty good, right?  Can't wait to get started reading!!! Keep looking for MORE!!!
