Guestpost: @AnetaCruz Loves to Scare Us #NewRelease #Paranormal #99cents
Today I'm welcoming my fabulous
writing sister Aneta Cruz to the blog to talk about her latest release. Great news. Her book is on sale for $0.99 cents.
I would like to thank the beautiful and
always smiling Nana for allowing me to creep into her romantic love shack/blog
with my monsters.
The
Others
I think there comes a time in our lives
when we have to face our monsters, don’t you? The problem for me is that I
don’t like doing that because I don’t want to scare them away. I want them to
stay for as long as possible. You see, I grew up on stories of scary creatures
lurking in the darkness and I’ve always been fascinated by their presence. To
me, they were mysterious, the knowers of something otherworldly regular humans
had no clue about and therefore feared. I’ve always wanted to explore them and
see what they see. There’s always been that little nagging voice inside me that
told me to look deeper and question why do we view these creatures as
monstrous?
I’ve figured out that they are misunderstood, used as a scapegoat in
people’s affairs, taboos, and things that are frowned upon by the conventions
of our society. And when I mulled these ideas over, The Guardian was born, with its main character, Dr. Stein, forged
from the most fiery neuron connections inside my brain. He became my eyes, my
desires and disappointments when searching for that which couldn’t be seen,
only felt. His character helped me discover the hidden truths of my soul, my
beliefs and disbeliefs, my fears and my humility, my otherness.
I’ve realized one thing: All that we see
is not all there is.
My soft spot for monsters and monstrosity grows by
day. I embrace these beings, for they teach humans invaluable lessons and they
test their qualities until they reveal what humanity really is at its very
core.
I’ve had the most haunting experiences when writing The Guardian and I think it shows
through the story and the bonds of the characters in it. Please, cast aside
everything you knew up until now about monsters and go on an adventure with Dr.
Stein, who will reveal something extraordinary. Something you already know, but
perhaps don’t realize, until you are standing on the threshold of death.
Blurb:
Dr. Josef Stein was
trained as a man of science and rationality, but after a tragic experience, he
believes that there is something within—or even without—the human body science
cannot explain. And Stein would do anything to witness it! When his patients
begin seeing a ghost, and a woman suspected of killing her child even accuses
this spirit of the crime, Stein takes it upon himself to investigate.
Unexpectedly, evidence of a supernatural phenomenon starts to mount. The good
doctor’s quest to see is ignited with fervor. He thinks he is on the verge of
uncovering the veracity of a thousand-year-old myth when his research gets
interrupted by the Gestapo. Stein turns to his colleagues and friends for help,
but they begin to suspect that the doctor’s determination may have unhinged his
mind. Has Stein, after years of treating the crazy, gone mad himself?

Blurb:
Seven years earlier, a young and serious Tessa Calitz wrote a letter to free spirit Ryan le Roux promising her undying love. As time passed she forgot about that letter...but Ryan did not.
When he walks back into her life, Tessa is in a relationship and busy setting up her art gallery in Johannesburg. She has plans to start a family, and the arrival of Ryan throws her for a spin. He is the worst thing that could happen to her dream of stability...or is he?
When everything she clung to starts to crumble, Ryan is right beside her to inspire her to greater things. But her compulsion for having marriage and children on her terms alone pushes Ryan away--until she falls in love with an orphaned baby.
What can Ryan do to make Tessa realize that being with him is what her heart has longed for all along?
Excerpt:
The swish of the door opening wider and the squeak of rubber-soled shoes on the polished floor caught her attention. A customer. Precious gold—so rare and so needed. Turning to face her potential sale, she put on a bright smile…that turned to jelly. The breath froze in her lungs.
“Ryan. Is that you?” she said with a whisper.
The man who had filled her dreams and inspired her whole art career years ago stood before her, taller, broader, tanned, and smiling wide. She had somehow thought he’d disappeared off the globe. Not much had changed. That slight curl to his hair, the dark halo a perfect frame for his broad-jawed, rugged face. Thick, velvet locks, the color of dew-soaked mountains and earth. Piercing eyes, like planets orbiting her heart. The longing of years seemed to converge on this particular moment. She pulled back, frightened by the intensity of her feelings.
“I like your new gallery.”
She shivered and clasped her chiffon top close to her chest. His voice had deepened over the years. He had matured like she had grown up, changed, and moved on.
“Thanks. I’ve been open for three months already.”
Her voice came out like a squeak. Her palms were moist and her tongue stuck to the roof of her mouth. She couldn’t keep her eyes off him. He truly was the best artwork in the world—the way his body moved—the whole picture of him.
“May I?” He pointed to the art she’d spent days arranging perfectly on the walls.
“Of course.”
He paused before each painting as she held her breath, longing to read his mind on what he thought of them. Then he spent longer before her latest work. She moved up behind him and stared at the misty oil canvas in muted colors of a figure standing on a pier, overlooking a churning sea. The man appeared pensive and peaceful with the grey, choppy waves around him and the dark, billowing clouds above him. She followed the shape of the real man in front of her with her gaze. Who would have thought he would come here? All these years, she’d figured him gone forever. Buried under new dreams and desires. Little did she know her need for him could resurrect just with a brief encounter.
“How come they’re all landscapes?”
She shrugged. “Landscapes are my genre.”
Except for those crazy mother and child paintings stashed away at home that no-one’s ever seen. Days and days of her spare time were taken away painting a picture of an African mother with her newborn twins, a Chinese mother with a toddler in a pram, and the hippie mom with her baby in a pouch attached to her middle. The feeling bubbling inside her while she painted them had been unsurpassed by any other. What would Ryan think of them? It was safer that he didn’t know. Better he believe she was a landscape painter and nothing else.
He moved on to one of the other artists’ works. Did he hate her landscapes? Why did it matter to her so much what he thought of her art? Not like she still loved him. Not after all these years. But he had inspired her art in a way—got the ball rolling because she used to spend hours sketching him while he romanced her best friend and roommate, Annie. That felt like decades ago, yet was only seven years. Ryan had been the highlight of her waking hours then, her shy and aimless period when she worked in a mindless job for little pay, before she realized she could study her passion. Art.
“Where are your sketches?” he asked.
She frowned. “They’re at home. I stopped sketching my second year in college because that’s when I developed my best painting style. My sketches didn’t get me top marks.”
“But they’re so realistic.”
“You never looked at them.”
“I’ve studied the one. Constantly.”
