Ann is no stranger to us as, not only we've hosted a Book Tour for one of her books before, but she has also on many occasions directed us towards other novels' Book Tours she knew we would love to host. So, we're very happy to welcome Ann back in our little corner of the net and wish her all the best with this novel.
Enjoy!

Book Excerpt
“What’s in a name?” Krissa thought of Shakespeare as she got to her feet and lugged on her bag.
“You know that even if you didn’t call a rose, a rose… they all have those thorns that can bite into you if you aren’t careful,” Sealey answered her. “You should know about that… isn’t it somewhere in Shakespeare, or something? You and Khevin are the English nuts.” He tried to lighten the mood.
“What did you say?” she demanded, her eyes bore into him.
“What? That you are an English nut?” he said, shrugging into his straps.
“No, about thorns.”
“Oh, well… It’s clearly not the real quote. It said something about roses smelling sweet, even if you call them something else. I thought, for our purposes, that thorns applied better. After all, we have to use different names so that we can be safe. However, even if no one calls you the Chosen One, or Micah the Light Bearer, or me the Champion,” and he winked at her again, “we are still going to stop them, or at least put a thorn in their plans, if you will.”
“So, you’re pretty sure we’re going to win?” Krissa asked. She noticed that he matched her pace instead of making her match his.
“Well, you might want to ask your brother that. He is the Seer. He’s actually much, much more than that…a Prophet. He carries a lot in that little package we call Micah…sorry it’s Leander now. I’m sure glad I get to be part of his team.” Sealey grinned and shook his head in amazement.

About Ann Snizek
"I grew up in Vermont mostly and now live in Virginia with my family (those still at home). My husband and I have a blended family of seven kids. My childhood was spent moving around a lot. (non-military) About five years ago, we started home-schooling our youngest children. Now there are only two remaining in home-school. I have tried to nurture the love of books in our children and now our grandchildren — always nurturing their imaginations. Recently, I have become active in our community with literacy, starting a local (and online) creative writing club and volunteer tutoring at the Adult Learning Center.
I struggle with Fibromyalgia and PTSD. So, have to be careful not to overdo things… I don’t always listen to my own advice. I have a dry, sarcastic and corny sense of humor and always try to look at things optimistically (again not always successful). However, I feel that if I don’t give up — for long — then things will work out for the best eventually."
