He’s an ordinary human in a magical world. He has no power whatsoever. How far would you go to fit in and be like everyone else? How much blood would you be willing to spill to get your wish?Battle Born Prequel: Skyla's prophetic dreams aren't enough to keep her from being captured by a fierce Rodyte general, but they help her understand what he wants and why he needs her so desperately. She's now his helpless captive and must decide if she's brave enough to teach this embittered soldier how to love again.Tragedy, and years of war, have hardened Kryton Lux, made him ruthless and unfeeling. He's fascinated with his new captive, ready and willing to seduce her curvaceous body. His heart, however, isn't part of the bargain. She will submit to his sexual demands and when their time together has concluded, she will return to her homeworld and he will never think of her again. Luckily for Skyla, fate has a far different plan for this stubborn general.Note to Readers: This book contains detailed descriptions of sizzling passion only suitable for mature readers.From Cyndi: I've had many requests for more information about the war brides, so I decided to let one tell her story. Skyla is the mother of three upcoming heroes in the Battle Born series. This is a stand-alone story, but I hope you'll check out my other books as well. All my books blend elements of science-fiction, fantasy, and paranormal romance. The Battle Born books lean more toward sci-fi, but there is still plenty of steamy romance. Enjoy!

I refused to do it to Tom as I made an oath to his father after his mother his mate Tomah was killed off by a Keo who didn't do this on my orders."He eyed the doctor from memory that spoke "I recommended that you have him get nourishment from the Daffodil drug via injections to his arm. He'll be easily controlled from the addiction to the drugged status to do whatever you want him to do." He stiffened from the memory as the Queen spoke "Do the recommendation doctor and start the injections now. He's old enough to be weaned from the mother milk substance. Besides I aim to have him implanted with the breathing device once you say he's old enough to withstand wearing it."He continued to stiffen as the doctor spoke "Actually my Queen there is another method for him to gain nourishment once he receives the breathing device which is by feeding tube implanted in his arm. I recommended you wait till it's obvious that he's a threat to Keos to have the devices implanted. I'm not sure if he has inherited the Banshee side or not. I figured once he has shown any indication of inheriting that is when you can implant him of the devices."He recalled the Queen speaking "Fine I'll tell the guards to keep an eye onto him very strongly so start the injections now." He continued to recall the doctor speaking "Certainly my Queen." Followed by the memory going black as Tom jerked open his eyes feeling rage hitting him as the memory stopped its course running through him.

    Sleezy the Fox Play

      William Forde
$value['title']

A play about ‘second chances’ based upon the four 'Sleezy the Fox’ stories that the late Princess Diana used to read to her children, William and Harry when they were aged 9 and 7 years respectively. Written by the founder of ‘Anger Management’ courses in Great Britain in the 70s, the stories were originally written for the purposes of radio transmission and are highly popular with schools.This play has been adapted from the four ‘Sleezy the Fox’ stories, which were recorded in the early 1990s for the original purpose of radio transmission.The prominent theme of the story is one of ‘second chances’, something that all of us require from time to time in our lives.In my earlier years of development, I needed ‘second chances’ on many occasions and was lucky enough to have received ‘second chances’ at crucial periods of my life. ‘Second chances’ not only redeemed my character, but it also reformed my behaviour from that of thief to one of honest citizen.In later life, as a Probation Officer and the founder of ‘Anger Management’ courses in Great Britain in the early 70s, I was able to afford the opportunity of receiving a ‘second chance’ to many people who displayed aggressive impulses that they were initially unable to control and manage.When Princes William and Harry were 9 and 7 years old respectively, their mother came across these stories, contacted me and requested that I send her a copy of my 'Douglas the Dragon' and 'Sleezy the Fox' stories that she wanted to read to her sons at their bedtime. It is a nice thought to know that the next King of England was read the stories of ‘Sleezy the Fox’ as a child by his mother, the late Princess Diana.The play has been written in a manner that makes it ideally suitable to be performed by schools and is arranged in such a way as to make the inclusion of a number of selected and suitable songs at appropriately spaced junctures possible to turn it into a Musical Play.
