Here's an excerpt from my upcoming release, "Repeating History: The Eye of Ra."  In this scene, circumstances have forced Aston and Grant to fight Tutankhamen's side during a skirmish with the Hittites.



Book Blurb:

What do you do when you accidentally destroy your history teacher’s prized collection of historical artifacts? If you’re teenaged delinquents, Aston and Grant, this is more than just a rhetorical question. They’ve made a huge mistake, one that might cost them everything. Adding to their misery, their history teacher’s name is Merlin. Yes, that Merlin, and the answer to their dilemma is deceptively simple according to the old wizard. You go back in time to replace the items you destroyed!

Aston and Grant find themselves in ancient Egypt, where their first task is to find and retrieve “The Eye of Ra,” a golden amulet owned by none other than King Tut, the boy king of Egypt. Neither of them is all that versed in history, so they have to play it cool and learn as they go. It’s not just the amulet that’s causing them trouble, either. They soon become friends with Tut, and find that they want to help him out. Surrounded by enemies, needing to survive in a primitive world, Aston and Grant quickly learn one basic truth. History isn’t dead when you’re living it.

Welcome to my brand new, shiny LJ! 

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Dakota Chase, and I write romance books for young gay adults. 

What does that mean? SImply put,  all of my stories are fit for consumption by anyone thirteen years or older. Yes, there will be darker themes. Yes, there will be romance. Yes, the main characters in my novels are gay. Yes, there will occasionally be lip-locks between the main characters. No, there will never be flesh-eating zombies, circus clowns, or anything of an adult nature. 

Wait...I stand corrected. On occasion there may, indeed, be flesh-eating zombies or circus clowns. In fact, for all I know there may be flesh-eating circus clown zombies, but definitely none of the adult stuff.

My second book is nearing its release date! It's the first in a series called, "Repeating History." It will be available at www.Prizmbooks.com, and all the usual online vendors, in print and e-format.

This first book is "Repeating History: The Eye of Ra." Here's the blurb from the back cover:

     What do you do when you accidentally destroy your
history teacher’s prized collection of historical artifacts?
If you’re teenaged delinquents, Aston and Grant, this is
more than just a rhetorical question. They’ve made a huge
mistake, one that might cost them everything. Adding to
their misery, their history teacher’s name is Merlin. Yes,
that Merlin, and the answer to their dilemma is deceptively
simple according to the old wizard. You go back in time to
replace the items you destroyed!

     Aston and Grant find themselves in ancient Egypt, where
their first task is to find and retrieve “The Eye of Ra,” a
golden amulet owned by none other than King Tut, the boy
king of Egypt. Neither of them is all that versed in history,
so they have to play it cool and learn as they go. It’s not
just the amulet that’s causing them trouble, either. They
soon become friends with Tut, and find that they want to
help him out. Surrounded by enemies, needing to survive
in a primitive world, Aston and Grant quickly learn a basic truth.

History isn't dead when you're living it.




Okay, so this book doesn't have any flesh-eating circus clown zombies. You never know though - maybe the next one will. :)


Anyway, welcome. I hope you'll come back often, share my link with your friends, and post to your little heart's content. :)
