Blurb for—The Promised One (The
Turning Stone Chronicles)
In the wrong hands, the Turning Stone ring is a powerful weapon
for evil. So, when homicide detective Alexi Jordan discovers her secret society
mentor has been murdered and his magic ring stolen, she is forced to use her
shape-shifting powers to catch the killer. By doing so, she risks the two most
important things in her life—her badge and the man she loves.
Rhys Temple always knew his fiery cop partner and
would-be-girlfriend, Alexi Jordan, had a few secrets. He considers that part of
her charm. But when she changes into a man, he doesn’t find that as charming.
He’ll keep her secret to keep her safe, but he’s not certain he can keep up a
relationship—professional or personal.
Danny Shaw needs cash for the elaborate wedding his fiancée has
planned, so he goes on a mugging spree. But when he kills a member of the
secret society of Turning Stones, and steals a magic ring that gives him the
power to shape shift, Shaw gets more than he bargained for.
The book was just released in ebook form for Kindle July 10, 2013.
EXCERPT:
The woman stared at him, blood seeping from the corner of her
mouth. “Return the ring, or you’ll be sorry.”
With a short laugh he stood. “Big words for someone bleeding to
death.” After dropping the ring into his pocket, he gathered the scattered
contents of her purse, and started to leave.
“Wait.” The words sounded thick and slurred . . . two octaves
deeper . . . with a Scottish lilt.
Shaw frowned and spun back toward her. The pounding in his chest
increased. On the ground, where the woman had fallen, lay a man.
He wore the same slinky blue dress she had—the seams ripped, the
dress top collapsed over hard chest muscles, instead of smoothed over soft,
rounded curves. The hem skimmed across a pair of hairy, thick thighs. Muscled
male thighs. Spiked heels hung at an odd angle, toes jutting through the shoe
straps. The same shoes she’d been wearing.
The alley tipped. Shaw leaned against the dumpster to steady
himself. He shook his head to clear the vision, then slowly moved his gaze over
the body.
A pair of steel-blue eyes stared out of a chiseled face edged
with a trim salt-and-pepper beard. Shaw whirled around scanning the alley.
Where was the woman? And who the hell was this guy?
Terrified, Shaw fled.
The dying man called out, “You’re cursed. Forever.”

Putting words and stories on paper is second nature to co-authors
C.D. Hersh. They’ve written separately since they were teenagers and discovered
their unique, collaborative abilities in the mid-90s. As high school
sweethearts and husband and wife, Catherine and Donald believe in true love and
happily ever after.
Together they have co-authored a number of dramas, six which have
been produced in Ohio, where they live. Their interactive Christmas production
had five seasonal runs in their hometown and has been sold in Virginia,
California, and Ohio. Their most recent collaborative writing efforts have been
focused on romance. The first book of their paranormal romance series entitled The Promised One
(The Turning Stone Chronicles) has been released by Soul Mate
Publishing.
When they aren’t collaborating on a book, they enjoy reading;
singing; theatre and drama; traveling; remodeling houses (Donald has remodeled
something in every home they’ve owned); and antiquing. Catherine, who loves
gardening, has recently drawn Donald into her world as a day laborer. Catherine
is an award-winning gardener — you can see some of her garden on their website.
They are looking forward to many years of co-authoring and book
sales, and a lifetime of happily-ever-after endings on the page and in real
life.
