It is December first! LET THE GAMES BEGIN! It’s Christmas time!!! YEEHAW! Oddly, that was my first thought this morning. Then I started the long painful process of getting out of bed. After that I wasn’t so fired up about the Christmas Season. I do love the whole Christmas Season not just Christmas day. I love the lights, the decorations, and the really good treats that come out this time of year. This should be the weekend when I do my baking extravaganza. When I make about 5 or 6 different kinds of cookies and give them to friends and family. For some reason I just don’t seem to be getting off my tush to buy all the ingredients. I think my plate is too full. My best course of action would be to search for a new cookie to add to the plate, and jump right into baking. The best time to take on a huge project is when you have a long list of TODO’s!

No Promises (Iron Bound Book 1)
by Z.J. Cannon
Genre: Suspense | Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
I used to be a hero. Then I grew up.
I’m Kieran Thorne, the world’s only living half-fae. The gig comes with a few perks — immortality, magic I can’t control, fae assassins constantly on my heels. And the chance to protect the good and the powerless against those who are neither.
For hundreds of years, that’s what I did. Until I got tired of the humans I saved repaying me by burning me at the stake or shooting me in the heart. I traded in my white hat for a mansion on the beach, and started living by a new creed: look out for myself, and let the humans solve their own problems.
But now Winter fae are going missing, and someone has planted a trail of evidence leading right to my door. I have two choices: let Queen Mab’s feral enforcer carve me to bits, or help her find the real culprit.
Looks like I’m back in the hero business. But this time, I’ll remember the lesson it cost me so much to learn:
There are no good people in this world, and no righteous causes. Humanity is corrupt. The fae are cruel and vicious. Me? I’m a little of both.
