(Be sure to scroll to bottom after getting to know M.A. and enter the giveaway! Also be sure to join in on the fun at her Facebook event HERE! Even more AWESOME prizes to be won!! Good luck)

A.R. Hello M.A. thank you for visiting my blog and dealing with my randomness. I’m beyond happy to have you hear my friend! Now let the silliness commence! Oh and the questions J (only comment here if you’d like to).

Honored to be here, thank you for asking… and yes, I can do silly.

A.R. Can you fake any accents?

I was told I sometimes sound like I come from Northern London (and no, I don’t know if that is good or bad)

A.R. Do you prefer card games or board games?

Depends on the game :D

A.R. Do you do dance crazy when no one is looking?

Does Snoopy dances count? Never mind, I do that when people are looking too.

A.R. If you throw a Blue stone into the blue sea what it will become?

A blue stone in a blue sea.

A.R. What mythical creature would you want to be?

Right about now Elves sound like a good bet. They live for thousands of years and don’t have to make excuses for the mischief they get into.

A.R. My favorite unusual food combination is:

Dill pickle chips and cherry coke?

A.R. Of all of the Gilligan's Island characters, I am most like (and tell us why):

There are times I can be like several of them… the professor, always looking for answers… Gilligan, I can be comical as well as a ditz if I am too far into a storyline and not watching what is going on around me. The skipper, because ditzs frustrate me.

A.R. What is your favorite holiday (if you celebrate)?

Christmas… love the lights and the music.

A.R. What is something you cannot live without?

Can it be more than one? Sunshine and sleep… if only one, humor.

A.R. Do you have nicknames?

A few… rolling eyes… The Godmother… Mistress of Ambush… The Auntie

A.R. Pen or pencil?

Pen… pencil rubs on on other paper and the side of my hand.

A.R. Do you have any pets?

One Snoop cat (Seal Point Siamese )

A.R. Do you have a favorite character from any of your works? Why?

Depends on what I am writing. Favorite all the time as in one of? No.

A.R. Do you have any projects in the works right now? Can you tell us about them?

I have several on the go. I am working on Return of the Legend, book 5 of the Elven Chronicles… Embracing the Light… which is another Elven Christmas story… and I am reworking Theory in Depth and My Darling, Janice.

Which one would you like to know about? Would you like an excerpt? I need to know these things.

Life Mate to a King (book 4 of the Elven Chronicles)

Excerpt from Life Mate to a King

Tári didn’t doubt that she was in trouble. It showed in the way Reiss spoke and how his hand trembled as he motioned with it. His voice sounded wobbly. She tried to do as he ordered but found herself unable to move. She had never been so scared in her life. She looked at the battle birds and she swore she could see her death in their eyes. They could and would kill her with very little provocation. She was sure of that.

Tári was so caught in the web of terror her mind had spun around itself that she never noticed when the other members of Reiss’ party joined them. The hand that reached around her shoulder to gently remove the knife from her hand barely registered in her mind. What did break through her self-induced paralysis were the hands and arms that turned her around before they pulled her into the safety of a possessive embrace.

“My love,” Garoldth’s voice was thick with pent up emotion. Here in his arms he held his reason for breathing. The mother of his daughters, his Life Mate, the one woman he would live and die for. He would never let her out of his arms again.

Tári knew this touch and she wound her arms about Garoldth’s chest as she brought her hands up to curl around his shoulders. She inhaled the scent of her Life Mate and caressed the outline of his chest with her cheek. He had come back for her. With eyes filled with tears of joy she cried out for her love.

“Garoldth.”

A heartbeat later their lips merged. They held tight to each other, as if they were afraid they would be forced to part again.

“Wow,” Branith gave a soft whistle in awe. “As the designated cupid I am sure I should be taking notes. Anyone care to time this?”

Helix grinned as he watched the reunion while Calix smacked Branith on the back of the head. Reiss grinned as he wrapped an arm around Nyra’s shoulders and drew her closer so he could tuck her against his side.

“I believe we can safely assume our father has found his Life Mate.”

“I have no more doubts as to how he managed to father twelve sons either.” Branith added as he ignored Calix’s hit. He added. “Almost forgot. Two daughters. Any of you meet your sisters yet, or at least see them.”

“Not yet.” Eanor admitted with a show of interest.

“Beautiful girls. Warning, don’t ever cross Aredhel. Even Demons run from that Elf. Gilraen is the polar opposite. She is the sweetest maiden you could ever meet.” Branith informed them.

Goodreads Blurb:

Garoldth is a warrior King or great stature, and he can have no vulnerability. With that in mind he has lived his life. Marriage is for convenience, to make sure he will have sons to follow in his footsteps. He has twelve sons, and all are warriors of great power. He rules his family as he does his people in this he must be firm. He loves his people, loves his family, but still he is alone. All of his life he has known nothing but war and strife. He is King Garoldth and he rules the lands beyond the portal.

Five hundred years before the wars across the boundary are brought to an end Tári meets an Elf who she recognized is her Life Mate. She knows their time is not now, for she has the sight. The call of the bond that declares them one, however, would not be denied. Despite knowing their love was not meant to be in this time they act on it, after, she disappears into the shielding rock caves of her land, refusing to speak the words they must to complete their bond. One hundred years later they meet again, and again the call of their souls to unite is too powerful to resist and they spend their time together in love. This time he can offer his love nothing, caught in an alliance not of his choosing. He is joined with another, one he does not love or want. To offer to take the one he does love to his world would be a great dishonor to her, as well as dangerous.

As Garoldth stands beside his piers on the day peace is brought to his land he sees a movement in the forest beyond. Is it his love, his Life Mate? Has she has come to him again? He is sure of it. He is quick to give chase, but she has disappeared once more. This time he will not be denied. He will seek her to the end of the world. This time he is free to offer her everything, body, soul, heart, mind. They can be one. She will be his Queen, and he will have no other. He will never be forced to live without his love again. This time he can offer her a safe haven, his home and his arms.

My Review:

Once again I got lost within the story of M.A. Abrahams elves. I love the chemistry of the each pair of life mates, all of the characters antics, their “there’s nothing to it but to do it” attitudes and the all-around family feel that vibes off of the pages. Anyone that enjoys a fun, exciting and unpredictable fantastical escape will enjoy this addition to the Elven Chronicles.

There is so much going on in Life Mate to a King. We get to see how the elves from the previous stories are currently doing (let me just say, WOW!). It was great to see Gabriel again (I have a major crush on him). We are introduced to many new characters and a different type of elf ‘branch’. The war has finally settled down and it’s now possible for all of the elven folk to live happily and rebuild. We all know how life can be no matter what type of being we are. Just when everything seems as it should be. WHAM! But these elves are very resilient. The kings, generals and all of the followers make an excellent team. Once again they work together to make things right and save their lands and people. Oh and the very best part of all is how many life mates find one another. It made me giddy!

I know there is going to be more. That ending… Well I can’t tell you anything about it or I’ll ruin it for you. I’ll just say please get to writing the next one M.A. :)

Goodreads Blurb:

He has returned from the wars a hero to his people, savior of their Empire and honored as such, but his world is empty, despite the peace he has won for his people. There is no light where he lives, no soft touch to comfort him, to push away the darkness of his memories. He lives only to serve his King and the world he lives in. He is the High Lord General Gabriel Eagle Claw, Commander of the Combined Elven forces Sent into the outside world to bring their people home he travels with his troop to the valley where he has been told they await his coming. There he is to find the Life Mate to the King and bring her safely to his side, but there is more, for there is a mystery he must solve and claim for his own. She who will bring light and love to his soul, she is his Eden. His one and only, his true Life Mate, his love and he vows he will bind her to him forever.

She is like a forest creature, wild and free. Warrior trained alongside her brothers. She guards the life and spirit of the forests that surround them, as well as those who live in the valley with them. She also guards a secret, for she is more than just a simple Elven maiden tending to the care of the elements they live in. Within her lives the talent to communicate with the very trees she treats, they tell her tales, stories, tidings of things that have passed. To them she is their guardian. To them she is Tratchar, she who heals their ills, beloved of the Sentinels and their salvation. Beautiful and proud she is no man’s possession, nor shall she be, this she is determined she will never be.

My Review:

I got lost within the pages of this here story. So completely and wonderfully lost. Such a sweet elven tale with excitement, romance, adventure and magic! A definite must read for any fans of the genre that enjoy a great story that brings everything to life :)

Eden is one tough cookie! I absolutely LOVE her! She’s a free spirited and kind female that has an enormous list of fine qualities.

Gabriel, I did not love at first. But I quickly grew to adore him once I understood his true feelings and true self. He is an amazing male specimen that is adored and honored throughout the lands. He deserves to be tortured. I mean loved and happy ;)

Together these two are an amazing team, couple. They complete one another to absolute perfection and complete tasks for their land and people that no other possibly could. True mates, one soul, true love and complete utter happiness. LOVE IT! I look forward to where M.A. will bring us in the next of the series!
