Let's take a minute to welcome author Gemma K. Murray to the blog.
****
Once upon a time, there was a little girl born. She was
raised to love books and was enthralled with them at a
very young age. In fact, there is a story of the little girl being seated at
her table at the age of 18 months, where she would “read” for hours if her
mother would let her. This child grew into one who would blow through her
reading assignments in school at such a pace that her teachers eventually had
to move her into a reading group a grade ahead of where this girl’s classmates
were.
English, spelling, and reading were her passions. As she
entered high school, she added foreign languages to her hobbies. Her mind
swirled with words. She passed math and science but this young woman simply
loved words. Lunch hours were spent in the library instead of being with her
friends. When she got home from working after school, she’d retire to her room
where she’d devour whatever book she was reading. Her favorites were Victoria
Holt novels, though she made sure to read the classics where she fell in love
with Oscar Wilde. Her senior English teacher assigned her class a poem to
write. The young woman whipped hers off in a matter of moments. She went on to
write the poem for her senior class (though that is a secret many don’t realize
even 20+ years later).
She married and went about her life. Her dreams were vivid
and realistic. They haunted her days. So, this woman applied pen to paper and
jotted her dreams down. They flowed from her pen and across the paper. She
wrote for her own amusement. Then, this woman’s husband had an idea. “Why not
try to get these published?” he asked. The woman scoffed at this idea and
refused to believe in her talent. Then, one day, something happened to change her
life. She began to believe. A publisher wanted to publish her story and Gemma
K. Murray was born.
Gemma’s first book is an urban fantasy/paranormal romance
titled Keeper of the Golden Dragon’s Heart.
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan seems like it is another
country. The rawness and beauty of the land draws people from every walk of
life. What most people don't realize is there is a little town nestled on the
banks of Lake Superior that an entire group of supernatural beings call home.
Shifters of every shape and size live there. They raise their families there.
Tourists come from near and far to visit the quaint town of Cedar River,
Michigan. The tourists never realize they are walking among some of the most
unusual beings on earth.
Bowie Golden is a dragon shifter who is in charge of Cedar
River's safety. Until now, the biggest threat to anyone's safety was Anastasia
Plum, a witch/puma-shifter. She has been the town hellraiser since she was a
teenager. Now someone has discovered the secret the residents of Cedar River
keep for one another. These radicals are determined to eradicate the entire
town. It's up to Bowie to keep them all safe.
Ana has always idolized Bowie. She may have stirred up
trouble from time to time, but Bowie or one of his brothers would always get
her out of the trouble she was in. One day, it happened. The unthinkable, the
unimaginable occurred. Anastasia Plum fell for the "golden" boy. What
an unlikely duo- the sheriff and the hellraiser!
Just as these two discover their passion for one another, a
group of people is determined to keep them apart. It's up to Ana to prove that
she is the only Keeper of the Golden Dragon's Heart.
