EXCERPT:

She pulled him closer, and he decided not to reply. Gerry glanced down at Erin. Even though her dark hair partially covered her face, he could still see emotions tug at her. There was more she hadn’t told him, but he didn’t pry.

Their walk ended as they climbed the stairs of the Bolshoi Theatre. It was more amazing than any building he could think of in the States. It rose with pillars and lights, lit for a gala event.

“Shall we go in?”

“Just a moment more. I want to spend a few more minutes with you.” Erin clasped her hands around his arms.

He looked down at her. The lines of worry were gone, replaced with a softness he had never seen in her. There was a kindness there. He found it hard to reconcile it with what she was. Without thinking, he leaned down and kissed her.

Erin stammered, “Wait here, and I’ll go to will call to pick up the tickets.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

I love a good paranormal read, something about the un-dead haunts the fringes of my mind. Mix in romance, love, loss, and you have a great story.

I voraciously read everything, fiction, and non-fiction but always find myself turning back to the darker stories. I’ve always wanted to write and the dream became a reality with Capital Thirst, and the remainder of the Erin Kingsly novels.

I spend most of my days designing and building websites, but my free time is devoted to my wife, family, and cats. Yes three grown children and three cats. Things can be hectic.

For fun you might find me driving winding roads with the top down or out photographing nature.

GUEST POST:

- Do you believe in fate? Why or why not?

In general, I do believe in fate, in the sense that the decisions we make will lead to a certain outcome. But before I wrote this answer, I Googled definitions of fate and interestingly, there seem to be two completely different schools of thought when it comes to what fate is.

The first states that events are beyond your control and in the control of a supernatural power. While the second states, that things are caused by your general beliefs and they will just happen.

I find myself in the second camp. If there is a higher power, I doubt they have any interest in the day-to-day events of humans. But there is no doubt that our beliefs and actions will cause a specific outcome. Not every belief though can happen in the outcome you want. That isn’t realistic. But when the goals are realistic, I think your belief in them can control your own outcome.

So what about freedom of choice? Take, for example, when I was in high school I loved writing and wanted to make a career in it. Well, my ever practical parents were like if you are going to college, you are getting a degree in something you can make some money with. So I made a choice to pursue a BS in Information Systems.

Some ten years after graduation, I received a flyer in the mail from the local community college, flipped it open, and the first thing I saw was a class in creative writing. I honestly hadn’t much thought about writing in all those years. So I signed up. Then creative writing two, and then a poetry class. I spent the next few years writing short stories and bad poetry in my spare time. Before I knew it, I’d written my first novel. Capital Thirst.

So the question is, was it my fate to become a writer? What about my choice to pursue a career in software engineering? Can freedom of choice and fate work together? I certainly made a choice, but yet ended up doing what I felt I was meant to do. So maybe that really is fate. Who am I to say?

Or maybe we all live in an AI simulation that’s just a game for some crazy alien race. Makes you wonder if the Sims in Sim City were aware of their existence.
