An Angel Day Novel
DECEMBER 23, 2014
To protect and to serve, or to save her own brother?
Angel Day, the lead sniper for the Phoenix Police Department, got her nickname “The Angel of Death” the old-fashioned way: she earned it for her ruthless efficiency at stopping crimes with one well-placed bullet.

Praise for Blair C. Babylon’s other books:
“This is why [Blair C. Babylon] is an author to watch!” ~ Booklist (starred review)
"I stumbled upon this series a few months ago while searching through e-books for the kindle. Out of all of the books I've read, this is by far the best. I have never been the type to read things in installments, but this is the first time I've faithfully awaited each new episode release. The story … is great, the characters are believable, and I can never really guess what is going to happen next. What more could you want in a series?" ~Amazon Review
“This series just takes my breath away. Breathless!!!! That's how this book made me feel from beginning to end. It was one of those books I just couldn't put down until some of my questions were answered. I was constantly on the edge of my seat anxiously hoping it would turn out the way I hoped. I had this same sense of anxious excitement from the very first book of this series and it has not left me yet. This is not your typical cliched novel, where you can tell practically from the first page what is going to happen. Oh no! This book has you waiting with bated breath to see what happens next. I cannot wait for the next book. Ms. Babylon is a genius, who proves every skeptic who says all novels are alike, wrong!” ~Amazon Review
USA Today Bestselling Author Blair C. Babylon is the nom de plume of an award-winning author who used to publish literary fiction under another name. Because professional reviews of her literary fiction usually included the caveat that there was too much plot, too many interesting twists, and too much sex, she decided to abandon all literary pretensions, let her freak flag fly, and write intense thrillers and naughty romantic suspense.

Synopsis
He holds me captive with his brilliant blue eyes. His crooked smile melts me every time. His voice wraps around me when he sings. His words break through and dive straight to my heart. Dash Ford, lead singer of Redemption, is unlike any man I’ve ever met and I'm drawn to not only his lyrics but the man behind the voice. But I am broken—beyond broken. I had no intention of falling for him. But when we met, I had no other option. With him, I embrace the present while trying to put my past behind me. I find myself in a world I never expected, a world I’m not entirely sure I can handle. Am I strong enough? Will I be enough for a man who has everything? Can I finally let go and give into the love I’ve wanted my whole life? Or will my past forever define and haunt me, keeping me from all I desire?

Excerpt
At center stage stands the lead singer, his head down, gripping the microphone. He opens his mouth, and the voice that oozes out of it sends a shiver down my spine. The screeching I heard earlier today is nowhere to be found. His voice is raw, deep, and raspy, its richness soothing. My ears are in love with his voice. I’m captivated, as he begins to sing the first line of the song. My heart pounds in my chest, my breathing accelerates, and I am mesmerized. He continues to sing, and the grittiness of his voice ignites a fire inside me that can't be contained. I find myself standing, hollering, and surprising the shit out of Tracy and Val. Hell, I'm surprising myself. The lyrics permeate my brain and float around in my head, turning me to goo. His words of hurt and anger resonate in my soul. It’s as if what he’s singing, he’s feeling and has lived. My heart aches in my chest for him if there is any truth behind his words. I finally notice the two enormous Jumbotron-like TV screens on either side of the stage. The camera focuses on him and he stares directly into the lens. His steel-blue eyes smolder and captivate me. I feel like I am under his spell. It goes on like this through the entire concert. Each song he sings I’m entranced by him, unable to break the chains that his voice and eyes bind me with. Finally the lights go out, the music stops, and I am no longer spellbound—a sense of loss fills me.  

Review by Mazzy Boss Lady

Read in November, 2014

*** I received an arc in exchange for an honest review ****

Reading this book, I found it to be a very different read, I found it to be refreshing.
Dash and Jules relationship seem to be sweet and tender and they were the perfect couple.

The story flowed extremely well, and you could follow the story easily. There is a cliffhanger in this book and we have alot of unanswered questions that we have to wait for the next book to be answered.

Overall I found this to be a good read, and romance lovers will like this book.


Deleted Scene (Dash POV)

Finally, from somewhere else in the room I hear Roland call for me, so I apologize to the now pouty females, and make my way over to Roland. As I start to make my way over to him, I notice Lance and Vic talking to three girls: one leggy blond, who seems to have caught Vic's attention, a cute wide-eyed girl with bright ass pink hair, that is drooling all over Lance.  I chuckle to myself knowing my boys are enjoying the attention--attention they will say they usually don't get when I'm around.  Not my fault.  As I walk closer to the little group, I see her. A third girl is standing next to the blond, and my heart ceases in my chest as I notice her gaze meets my eyes. She is wearing a pair of hot ass leather pants that hug her in all the right places, these amazing heels that make her legs look ten miles long, and a shimmery blue top that highlights her pale porcelain skin. As I try to get my heart started again, my eyes follow her form from head to toe, and I notice these two beautifully sparkly, full rich, pouty lips, that at this moment I want to tug on and nibble and kiss the ever-loving shit out of. Then I notice her eyes. She has these two, huge, saucer-like, pools of brown, liquid chocolate and they are just staring at me. And as beautiful as they, are I can’t help but notice there’s this sorrow deep behind them—a sorrow that I’m drawn to. A deep sorrow that reminds me of…I just stare back; it's almost as if she's hypnotized me. She suddenly realizes that I am fixated on her because she glances down at her feet. She then peeks up at me from underneath her eyelashes biting her lower lip. I seriously think I'm gonna come unglued at the moment and I feel my dick twitch and grow in my jeans; I don't think she even knows that she's biting her lip or even knows what the fuck she's doing to me. 

I reach my destination and Roland introduces the leggy blond as our new PR rep. I am quite surprised to say the least because our last PR rep was some bald-headed douche bag that had no fucking clue about us or rock music. Needless to say, he was fired fairly early on, hence our new representation. Our new PR rep introduces her two friends. The wide-eyed, pink haired one, that's still drooling over Lance, is Tracy.  I do the gentleman thing and shake her hand. Then, I am introduced to the girl, I've been basically eye fucking since I noticed her. Her name is Jules, and how fitting it is. I offer her my hand as I did with Tracy. She hesitates a split second, but I notice it. Then she timidly places her small hand in mine. I feel a fire start to blaze from her finger tips into mine that singe its way through my entire body, leaving me feeling like a pile of ashes in its wake. This one touch has ignited something in me that has been dormant for years. I mean, it's almost like I feel completely alive and my heart is beating for the first time. All I am sure of at this moment is I want to consume her, to devour every inch of her, be buried so deep inside her, we can’t tell where one begins and the other ends. While another part of me wants get lost in her eyes and figure out the secret she’s keeping that is buried beneath that sorrowful look behind her eyes. I shake such ludicrous ideas from my head and simply say to her, "It's very, very nice to meet you, Jules."



Original Song

"My Burden"

She was gone right before my eyes.
Right from my grasp she slipped away.
I couldn't hold on tight enough
And it's all my fault.
She needed more than I had, more than I she would take from me.
Now she's gone forever.

Chorus
Beaten, broken bruised. I'm drowning in despair.
All these fears swirling in my head consume my soul.
Breaking me, Breaking me, Breaking me.
It's only my burden to bear.

Not saving her chews at my core.
I'd rather go here than stay.
But I know that I can't.
There's an ache deep inside that consumes me--eats at me.
No, you won't ever get too far from me.
You're buried deep in my skin.

REPEAT CHORUS

The Revelation Series



Author Questions

How did you come up with the idea for this story?
The Revelation Series was an idea that progressed over time. As a long-time lover of the paranormal romance genre, I was craving something different and distinctive. In 2008, I was home on maternity leave and starting writing, which is something I do frequently as a creative outlet. Before I even realized it, my one-off sentences, and character backgrounds morphed into a story. From there, I folded in my obsession with John Milton’s Paradise Lost and my love for gothic architecture and really romanced the idea of the mythology behind my supernatural creatures.

Where do you find your inspiration? 
Anywhere and everywhere. It’s a vague answer, but it’s completely true. For Redemption, (The Revelation Series, book #3), one of my chapters was inspired by my hatred for a particular cereal my six-year old loves (laughs).

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
It changes depending on the day and what I’m writing. With The Revelation Series, I find the character of Gage Gallagher difficult to write because he’s so deep and there are some many levels to him that at times, I get lost in all that is Gage Gallagher.

What are your current projects? 
At the moment, I’m finishing up the last two installments of the series. After which, I will be releasing two stand-alone new adult contemporary romance novels.

Tell us about your first book. What would readers find different about the first one and your most recent published work?
This is an interesting question. I feel the more I write, the deeper my books get. Revelation, (The Revelation Series, book #1) was really about the mythology behind the supernatural creatures and the world building that surrounds the characters. Restraint, (The Revelation Series, book #2) was about the love between the main characters, Asher and Eve. Redemption, (The Revelation Series, book #3) takes you deeper into their world and also allows the secondary characters to shine, which I love.

Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp? 
Nothing in life is what it seems. There is light and dark in everything we do. That is fundamentally what makes us a balanced human. There are no right, or wrong decisions, only choices we make in the moment.

Does music play any type of role in your writing?
Absolutely, although I don’t listen to music while I write, it distracts me. Before I write a particular character or scene, I tend to listen to certain songs to get me in the right mind set. For instance, when I write anything with Gage Gallagher, I listen to Arctic Monkey’s Do I Wanna Know. Same with Asher St. Michael, I listen to Pearl Jam’s Siren. That song is what inspired Eve’s nickname.

Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your life?
It depends. I think everything I write, on some level, is influenced by my experiences. That said none of my characters are based off of one particular person.

What books have influenced your life most?
I wish I could say there was a particular book or series that turned me on to writing. I’m simply in love with the written word. I’m one of those daydreamers who adore being thrown into new worlds and characters lives that aren’t my own. In college, I had a slight obsession with John Milton’s Paradise Lost, which influenced this series and the first book I read that truly took me away in my imagination was The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Are there any new authors that have grasp your interest?
I’m so bad at this (laughs). I love new and indie authors and I have tons of books in my Kindle library. That said, since I’ve been focused on finishing this series, I’ve tended to put a lot of my reading on hold for a bit. So I can’t offer any amazing insight on new authors at this time.

Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Of course, I’d be happy to. Here is an excerpt from Redemption (The Revelation Series, book #3) releasing 12/15/14:
Strong arms wrap tightly around my waist and tug me back to a warm, muscular chest. Asher lifts his hand and moves my hair to one side, over my shoulder, so he can have access to my neck. I tilt my head to the right, making it easy for his lips to gently brush the sensitive skin under my left ear before leaving a trail of soft kisses.
“Someday, when this is all over, I promise you’ll have the peace you’re craving. It will be just me and you, siren,” he vows quietly.
I sigh in contentment. “That’s all I want, Ash.”
“Then I’ll move Heaven and earth to make sure you get it.”
I turn to face him and push up on my tiptoes. Leaning in, I give him a slow, molten kiss. I push everything I feel for him into the gesture. I want to fill every space of his soul, the way he does mine.
It’s like I’m trying to climb inside his heart and live there. I’m not sure how long we stay like this, in our own private, perfect moment, but I never want to leave.
Breathlessly, I pull away. My eyes find Asher’s. “What is it you want the most?”
Asher’s intense gaze holds mine, taking my breath away. “Redemption.”

Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
Thank you. It’s always thank you. I’m so blessed to have had the opportunity to release this series and even more taken aback that people read it and love it. I’m just beyond grateful this community has embraced me as it has.

How can readers discover more about you and your work?
You can head over to my website: www.randicooleywilson.com or stalk me on Facebook, Twitter and/or Goodreads.

Do you have a special time to write? How is your day structured writing-wise?
Yes. No matter what I’m doing, I try and sit down from 9PM – 1AM and write every day. Some nights it’s a word. Other’s it is just editing. Then, there are the nights I get so lost in my writing that I don’t get any sleep (laughs). No matter what’s happening though I try to get in at least 4 hours a night, 5 nights a week.

Why did you choose to write paranormal stories?
Paranormal Romance is my favorite genre to read so it seemed like a natural stepping stone to write my first series as a new adult paranormal romance.

What is for you the perfect book hero?
This is a great question. I prefer a hero who is strong, emotional, overprotective, yet has flaws.

When you start a book, do you already have the whole story in your head or is it built progressively?
When I sit down to write each individual novel, I normally outline and decide what I want to happen in each book. There is a formula I work off of. As I begin to write, it usually goes out the window though, and the characters begin to dictate the storyline.

When and why did you begin writing?
I’ve always written as a creative outlet and a way of expressing myself from a young age. For me, it’s like breathing. It’s my outlet. Whenever I’m feeling frustrated, angry, happy, etc. it’s the first thing I do. I’d never really intended to become an author per say. The more I wrote a sentence here, a line of dialogue there, character backgrounds, the more I realized I was crafting The Revelation Series.

When did you first consider yourself a writer?
This is a loaded question (laughs) because I still don’t. I’m not sure it will ever sink in that I’m a published writer.

List three books you have recently read and would recommend.
Wing Woman by Bella Jewel, Black Lies by Alessandra Torre and A Whole New Crowd by Tijan

Tell us something that people would be surprised you know how to do.
Um…I can twerk (smirks).

Will you write more about these characters?
Yes. I have the final two installments in The Revelation Series coming out in the Spring and Summer of 2015 before I say goodbye to these characters.

Eve, Abby and Callan – Redemption “Ice Cream Wars”
“I can’t even believe that I am mated to you,” Abby screeches. I cringe. An hour. This has been going on for an hour. Please God make it stop. I sigh and swallow another spoonful.
“Baby, don’t be like that. You know it’s totally true. Ben & Jerry’s Hazed and Confused is honestly the best flavor ice cream in the history of the world,” Callan argues.
Abby’s eyes are like saucers. Big, blue, angry saucers. “Callan Thomas St. Michael, I may have to break our bond. McConnell’s Eureka Lemon and Marion Berries is by far the best flavor ever made. Right, Eve?” They both stare at me, waiting for me to pick a side. I groan.
“I’m partial to black raspberry,” I offer quietly, not really wanting to be in the middle.
Callan’s jaw drops and Abby beams before clearly taking the high road. Good lord.
“That’s closer to my flavor, and since they’re both fruit flavors, I win,” she declares.
“No way. Babe, her pick doesn’t count. That flavor isn’t even an ice cream. It’s a sorbet or frozen yogurt, or something. I mean, who picks a fruit flavored ice cream?” Callan disputes.
Abby’s mouth drops. “I JUST DID!”
“Would you two please tone it down? Christ, it’s like I’m out with my parents. People are staring and you’re embarrassing me with your bickering.” God, they’re like children.
Callan and Abby look around with perplexed looks on their faces.
“Cutie, there’s like, no one here. How could we possibly be embarrassing you? Are you telling me the opinion of one scoop girl is going to keep you up all night?"
