INTO THE DARKNESS
BY
K.F. BREENE
BLURB:
I’d
always been different. I saw objects in the night where others saw emptiness.
Large, human shaped shadows, fierce yet beautiful, melting into the darkness. I
collected secrets like other women collected bells; afraid to fully trust lest
my oddities be exposed.
Until
I saw him. He’d been gliding down the street, unshakable confidence in every
step. It wasn’t just that he was breathtakingly handsome with perfect features.
Something about him drew me. Sucked my focus to him and then tugged at my body.
As his eyes met mine, I was entrapped.
No
one had noticed him. He’d been right there, just beyond the light, but only I
had perceived.
I
had to know if he was real. Or maybe I really was crazy. And even when my
secret box was blasted wide open, dangers hurled at me like throwing knives, I
couldn’t stop until I unraveled his true identity.
I
just had to know.
“She
was fated to live.”
“Then
why must you save her?”
“Often
Fate is struck down by dumb luck.”
Excerpt:
As I met his black eyes, his puzzled expression deepened.
“You’re human…”
“We established that, yes. What I want to know is, if I am
human, what does that make you? And why do I notice you when others usually
don’t?”
His head cocked to the side. His easy balance, his lethal
edge; he was like a blade resting on billowing silk. “Very few humans are able
to withstand our pheromones. Fewer still to break a Kolma once it has been
placed. You’ve not been trained, that’s obvious, so how is this possible when
you’re definitely human? Do you possess the blood of another species?”
I could barely think past the pounding ache of my body,
begging to touch him. I needed to get a grip! He was revealing some very interesting
factoids that I needed to jot down in my mental notebook.
His nostrils flared. “Charles was right; your arousal is a
unique scent. Like a spicy, warm drink on a mid-winter’s night. It rises above
other smells, entrancing the mind.”
A wine
country native, K.F. Breene moved to San Francisco for college just shy of a
decade ago to pursue a lifelong interest in film. As she settled into the
vibrant city, it quickly became apparent that, while she thought making and
editing films was great fun, she lacked cinematic genius. For that reason, her
career path quickly changed direction. Her next goal was a strange childhood
interest, conjured at the dining room table while filling out a form. For some
reason, her young self wanted to be an accountant. Thinking on it now, she
often wonders how she had any friends. Regardless, it was the direction she
finally took.
While she
could wrangle numbers with the best of 'em, and even though she wore the crown
as the most outspoken, belligerent accountant in the world, her mind got as
stuffy as her daily routine. It was here that she dusted off her creative hat
and began writing. Now she makes movies in her head, not worried about
lighting, shutter speed or editing equipment. Turns out, a computer is much
easier to manage than a crowd of actors. She should know, she was an actor at
one time.
