Title: From Gods
Author: Mary Ting
Genre: Young Adult
Tour Host: Lady Amber's Tours
Synopsis
Did you just see a flash of lightning across the sky on a
clear sunny day? It’s not from Mother Nature. It is most likely from Mason
Grand, swoon-worthy demigod, one of Zeus’s descendants.
Skylar Rome is supposed to be having the best summer ever
before she heads off to college. Little
did she know, her whole life was about to change while visiting her cousin.
Nearly drowning at the beach due to unknown forces, one of the Grand brothers
she’d just met, Mason, saves her life. Cool, collected, mysterious, and
dangerously good-looking, Skylar is drawn to him from the start. Though she
knows he is the type of guy good girls stayed away from, it seems he is always
saving her life, and the attraction was inevitable.
Upon meeting the brothers, strange things begin to happen.
When she accidentally kills one of the brothers, it throws her life into
turmoil, as they search to find the answers. Implausibly, she gets caught up in
a world of the descendants of ancient gods, all who have super powers. Not only
is her discovery difficult to accept, evil beings are after her. Running out of
time and running for her life, she must unravel a mystery. What do they want
from her? Forced into a battle set into motion long before she was born, will
she find the answers, or will she die trying?

Excerpt
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Skylar jumped,
startled by the sound. “Sorry officer,” she whimpered, starting the engine just
to roll down the window and then quickly shutting it off again. The flashlight
shone brightly, blocking her view, but she got a breath of the hot, sticky air
that clung to her skin. Having the air conditioner on in her car, she had
forgotten how hot it was. Even at night, the weather was intolerable.
Hoping not to
offend him or her, she moved a little to the left and got a clear view of his
gorgeous, young face. With instant combustion, her heart fluttered a mile a
minute and her stomach churned nervously. She felt her face grow hot as she
flushed and the temperature in her body shot up, either from the sight of him
or the searing weather…perhaps the combination of both. Whatever it was, he was
the gravity pulling her in. She was wrapped in his invisible force, visually
taking all of his hotness in, and she was almost sure he was looking back at
her with the same intensity. Breathe…breathe…exhale.
She had heard
of love at first sight, but this was more like lust at first sight. What is wrong with me? Stop staring!
Sheepishly, she unglued her eyes from his beautiful greenish blue ones; she
couldn’t tell exactly what color they were. Trying not to stare, she saw a
pearl drop of sweat trickle down from his hairline. She didn’t want to look
into his eyes again, for fear she may get lost in them and not be able to look
away.
Shifting her
view, she focused on his uniform that fit perfectly to the curve of his
muscles. His clean-shaven face brought out his high cheekbones, and every part
of him looked flawless, from his hair to his broad shoulders, and all the way
down as far as she could see. She had seen good-looking cops, mostly on
television, but for goodness sake…sizzle!
“Could I see
your driver’s license?” he said flatly in his masculine low tone.
Pause. Even the
tone of his voice made her heart race. Get
a grip! Do you have a girl friend?
“Your driver’s
license?”
Author Bio
Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her husband
and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first
novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of
her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl.
When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It
was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M
Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her
