Happy New Year from Adrian James!

This is Adrian James, the tall, dark haired, dark eyed hunk from The Spell. I am a total catch--no ego here, fact. Ask Kelly McKenna about that. I'm not only cover model material (so says her roommate Susan) but I am smart, funny and kind. In fact, I'm one of those totally nice guys who makes donations to the Humane Society because the furfaces deserve a boost up. I work as a journalist and from the moment I met Kelly I knew she was the woman for me. She and her hubby were having problems so I bided my time and when she was free, clear and moved here to the San Francisco Bay Area I knew we were the match of a lifetime. Maybe even several lifetimes.

Thing is, Kelly won't commit to me. I know she wants to enjoy being single for awhile. That's cool, but there is this guy who has been following her. Stalking her. And he's been getting worse. Sometimes I even wonder if it isn't her roommate--Susan. Susan's great, nice babe...but she's almost too nice if you get my drift.

I can't tell you how many times I've invited Kelly out to my beachhouse for a romantic weekened and she's always turning me down. Come on! Who wouldn't want to spend a weekend with the guy or girl of their dreams, secluded at the beach, fire the fireplace with nothing to do but lay round and snuggle and make love?

Meet Susan Hammond

HI There!

My name is Susan, Susan Hammond and I'm Kelly McKenna's best friend. We've known each other since grammar school and I've been there since the beginning. The beginning of what? Why all those strange notes, phone calls and odd gifts. How would you like to get a Barbie doll with a teeny piece of paper with your name on it and a knife stuck in it?

Creepy, huh?

To tell you the truth, I really worry about Kelly. She's kinda shy, quiet, smart and a lot of guys have always been interested in her. I've sat by and watched as they try to get her interested, but Kelly was just so into her intellectual pursuits.

When she got divorced from David and decided to move to the San Francisco Bay area for a job and to be with Adrian James, I figured what the heck? The midwest was kinda chilly in the winter and with silicon valley nearby I figured I'd have boque choices in jobs. I'm a computer whiz...did I forget to mention that? I can back trace an email to anyone anywhere.

Well, almost....I've never been able to figure out who is sending Kelly some of the creepiest emails around. I am worried about her...someone is stalking her and it seems has been through time...wait till you hear about the dreams she's had about those lives.

Come meet me in February 2007 in Spell Across Time: The Pentacle. It will be with Whiskey Creek Press (www.whiskeycreekpress.com) and this is the first of our Spell series stories. I heard our author, Regan Taylor, is almost done with book 2: The Crystal Ball. How did I hear that? I have my ways...I have my ways.

Meet Kelly McKenna

I'm really not a bad person...at least not in this lifetime. Once upon a time maybe I was, but that was a long long time ago and I really didn't know what I was doing. Well I did, but that's besides the point. The thing is now, in this lifetime, I'm being stalked. Ever since high school someone has been sending me these really creepy notes about me being able to run, but that I can't hide because he...or she...will find me.

This is so not right. I have an ex-husband who really adores...adored...adores...yeah, he still adores me. I have a best friend who, well she's my best friend...she doesn't date much...but she's my friend. And I have a boyfriend who is just the best guy in the world.

But I feel like there's something missing...someone missing...but sometimes I worry that I'm not going to find out who my one true love is.

Anyway, I'm a journalist and I get to travel to really cool places.

Meet Ryan Michaels

My name is Ryan Michaels. Actually, it's ATF Agent Ryan Michaels. ATF as in Alcohol, Tobbaco and Firearms. For pretty much my entire life I've had dreams about this woman. She has long dark hair, big brown eyes and I know she is everything I have ever wanted in a woman. She's smart, pretty, caring, funny and I know she's out othere. Thing is, I'm not sure how she feels about me...I want her to love me...but first I need to bring her into my life. Main problem...I don't know her name, at least I don't know it in this lifetime. I hear February 1, 2007 she'll be coming into my life, but if you see her before then, let her know Ryan is coming.
