GENRE: Fantasy/Paranormal Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Finding a
naked man where Werewolf bones once were should have let Kate know she was in
for an unusual day! Nothing could have prepared her for the discovery that her
mother is a Goddess, and that nothing in her life would ever be the same. Zane
DeSeville spent five centuries trapped in a prison of his own body only to be
awakened by the image of the woman who caused his entrapment. After Kate discovers
that she’s the daughter of a Goddess, another bombshell is dropped in her lap.
She has to pass three Trials of Humanity, or she’ll be imprisoned as Zane had
been, and Zane would be her judge and jury!

Excerpt:
Zane found himself liking the strange young man. His
appearance was something Zane had never come across before, but that didn't
seem to detract from his character, rather it enhanced it.
“Okay look, I'm just going to get this over with,” Cole
said. Without a further word on the subject, Cole's head leaned back as his
body changed to a form Zane was all too familiar with.
Zane tried to maintain rigid control on the beast within
him. The desire to prove alpha status could not be contained. His fingers
shook, the need to dominate drove him. The idea of harming the young wolf made
him fight hard to control himself.
It was a heedless battle, but the beast would not be
contained. The harder he fought, the more the beast raged. He felt the change
come upon him before he could control it. His senses heightened, he could smell
the other wolf’s presence. With his last coherent ability, he projected his
thoughts out, telling the young wolf to run. The beast was free.
The young wolf cocked its head to the side, looking at the
larger version. It dropped down on its hindquarters, extending its front paws
forward with its head lowered. The beast recognized a sign of submission. The
beast stood over the young wolf and growled. It remained unsatisfied with an
unearned submission. Its jaws snapped at the young wolf’s ear, causing the
smaller creature to jump back in surprise.
The beast goaded the wolf until it openly attacked. Their
sounds of aggression filled the room as they wrestled each other to the ground.
Though the younger wolf was smaller, it made up for its lack of size by speed
and agility. When its teeth sank into the foreleg of the older wolf the battle
turned. It went from a token fight to a fierce battle of wills. The younger
wolf continued to use its smaller statute to its advantage.
Each time the beast would force the wolf down, it would find
a way to escape the hold. With each passing moment a respect was gained.
Respect, however, was not something that was worth losing over. The beast
howled in delight as his teeth bit into the neck of the wolf, pinning it to the
ground.
“When your pissing contest is over, I was promised ice
cream, a movie, and Holland.” The beast recognized the scent of its mate. It
let go of the wolf and backed away.
A scream caused all heads to turn in the direction of the
door Kate had just entered. The beast watched in disgust as the pale creature
crumpled to the ground.

Interview with Kristy Denice Bock
What Is the Inspiration for your books?
This question always derails me when I get
asked it. I think there are some writers that will read something that will
inspire them, or see something that inspires a tale to spring forth from their
fingertips. Me? I sometimes wonder if I'm not a little certifiable as
everything inspires me. I can be driving down the road, and see a single green
leaf left during the onset of fall colors. That singular difference will spawn
a story of an Elven princess ready to defend a dying kingdom.
Divine Touch came from a video game that I
used to work for. I loved creating an environment where players could interact
with the Gods and be defined as good or evil based on the choices they made. I
loved Greek mythology throughout the years of my life, but always felt the deck
was stacked against women. So, I guess you could say the inspiration for Divine
Touch came from Zeus sleeping with every female that his gaze fell upon, and
the females being punished for his transgressions.
In Divine Touch, the world, as it's known to
humans, is a matrilineal society. There are six Goddesses. Two of Light, Two
that are neutral, and two of dark. They are omnipotent beings that protect the
earth and all its natural inhabitants. They are creator Goddesses who can
create life, but didn't create humans.
Because of the awesome power they have, a
council was designed to work as a checks and balance system. The Goddesses
cannot interfere with human life. Their children must go through trials to be
allowed to live among the humans. This is the premise for the story Divine
Touch. The lead daughter has to prove her ability to put human life first or
she will be put to death.
I
hope you enjoy reading Divine Touch as much as I've enjoyed writing it. I look
forward to getting to know you. Please let me know what you think in the
