She was 26. She was described as attractive at 5’4” tall and 120 pounds. From her photo, he could see that she had shoulder length blonde hair and green eyes. He observed Marci’s image a bit more. Yes, he thought to himself, by human standards, she would look quite lovely.Would that be why she was taken? From what he knew of humans, they could be desirous of beautiful things.He went on to read the rest of the newspaper as he was going through his food. But he found that he couldn’t help but come back to the story of Marci Hayes. It felt as if he was inexplicably drawn to it. Something akin to a buzz or a hum that started somewhere in the back of his head was growing increasingly apparent as he scanned the news item once more.He stood up and reached for his wallet. Jocelyn arrived at his table as he was leaving her a generous tip.“Mind if I take the paper with me?” he asked as she started to clear his plates.She laughed in response. “For you honey, anything.” She straightened up, plates in hand, “It’s late and in a couple of hours I’ll have the new ones, anyway. Have a good evening!” She winked at him and turned to walk towards the kitchens.Jayden stared at her back for a moment, frowning a little. Not all humans were as exuberant, he observed.

Was her lively spirit the reason why he felt he could tolerate her, even like her as a friend?A human friend. For some reason, as he watched Jocelyn made an elderly couple laugh at another table on the other end of the diner, it didn’t seem such a bad idea.All Titles in the An Angel Bloodhound Series:1 - The Missing Heiress2 - Guarded Secrets3 - Angel Falling4 - Finders KeepersDownload and discover why readers are raving about Natalie Fields.Scroll up and get the book now!

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” Hamlet, William Shakespeare A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. Discover a collection of stories inspired by such imaginings.A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these.
