A prodigal son<\/p>\n

A dangerous love<\/p>\n

A deadly secret . . .
\n<\/strong>
\nI stood back and watched his movements. Daniel had that way about him that could shut me down in an instant. . . . I kicked the gravel a couple of times and worked up my courage again. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tell me . . . I mean . . . why did you come back? Why now, after all this time?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nGrace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in blood. But she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night really held. And when Daniel returns three years later, Grace can no longer deny her attraction to him, despite promising Jude she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll stay away.<\/p>\n

As Grace gets closer to Daniel, her actions stir the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind Jude and Daniel’s dark secret . . . and the cure that can save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it\u00e2\u20ac\u201dher soul.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"BIO:<\/strong> Bree rediscovered her childhood love for creating stories when she took a semester off college to write and direct plays for at-risk, inner-city teens from Philadelphia and New York. She currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with her husband, two young sons, and her beloved TiVo. The Dark Divine is Bree’s debut novel.<\/p>\n

INTERVIEW<\/strong>
\n1. If you could meet any author in the world, living or dead, who would it be? What would you say to them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harper Lee. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d ask her why she stopped writing novels and if she had any other books she wants to write and share with the world.<\/p>\n

2. What’s your favorite dinosaur? How do you feel about the Brontosaurus being an accidental mix-up of bones and not a real dinosaur?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dude, my favorite dinosaur as a kid was always the Brontosaurus! I kept wondering why I never see it in any books or movies now days. My current favorite is the Stygimoloch\u00e2\u20ac\u201dbut mostly because I love hearing my little 4 year old pronounce its name. (He totally gets it right!)<\/p>\n

3. Do you have any “guilty pleasure” shows you watch? If so, what are they and what makes them irresistible?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think all my television viewing could be considered a guilty pleasure. Right now my faves are THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Why: Damon and Stefan. And FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. Why: Tim Riggins and um, Tim Riggins. I also love CHUCK and CASTLE because of Chuck and Castle.<\/p>\n
