I am a wife of a U.S Army Soldier and mother of a beautiful little girl. I work for the Wyoming Department of Revenue in Cheyenne Wyoming, and no we don't still ride horses out here. I've been in love with reading since I first discovered the Harry Potter series in 4th grade. I don't just read a good book I devour it. After reading hundreds of novels I finally bit the bullet and sat down to write one of my own. I had an idea in my head and as soon as I started writing, the story seemed to play out right infront of me. Nothing has ever felt so natural. About 10 chapters into it I decided that I was going to take the plunge and get it self published as an Ebook. "Sapphire Universe" is a Contemporary Romance novel for adults, because lets face it, I'm female. Romance is what I like to read so it's what I'm going to write. I'll be posting some teasers and keeping you up to date on my progress as I finish writing and editing. Thank you so much for your support, and I can't wait for you to read "Sapphire Universe."
“What do I need to do to get you to trust me? What do you want from me?” He yells. I steel myself and look up into his panicked eyes and fight the pull I feel at coming in contact with those sapphires again. “Nothing! I don’t want anything from you!” I shout out the biggest lie I have ever told in my entire life. Connor’s eyes widen at my words and his face falls, every ounce of fire gone from his gaze. He backs away then smiles weakly at me.“Well, Merry Fucking Christmas Nina, because you have it all anyway.”
“I never thought that this moment would come for me. My whole life has been shaped to protect me and keep my heart safe. I know that I’m about to change all of that and I should be terrified. I lean forward and brush my lips across his. The fact that the fear never comes and all I can think about is Connor and his mouth on mine gives me the courage to speak. “Connor, make love to me.” I say against his lips.”
“I will always carry you Princess. Not everyone can say they have held their entire Universe in their arms.”
“I always thought the allusive “O” that girls always talked about was an urban legend, but Connor is quickly turning me into a believer.”
“I know it’s a lot to ask, but I’m asking anyway. Trust me. Trust me without knowing all the facts.”
“Come on Nina, you can’t avoid doing things just because you’re afraid you will get hurt.”“I’ll fall. I always fall and I don’t do it gracefully. I land hard and I usually break something. I’m a walking disaster just waiting to happen. Don’t you understand?”“I understand Nina, but this time it’s different.”“Why? How could this time possibly be any different than the others?”“It’s different, because this time I’m here to catch you.”
“It’s a message from the Universe. “The best relationships begin as friendships.”
“Princess, the whole idea of one grand gesture is bull shit. Ifyou’re with someone who never shows you they care in the littleways and then they do one huge drastic thing, that’s not love,that’s desperation." -Connor Wright”
“Your life can’t be one flat line therest of your life Nins. You have to have some lows to get thehighs."- Lola”
“In ancient times a sapphire was given as an oath oftrust, honesty and loyalty. Sapphire is the original “true blue,”symbolizing sincerity and the soul.”
“Connor, you don’t understand. I’llfall. I always fall and I don’t do it gracefully. I land hardand I usually break something. I’m a walking disaster just waitingto happen. Don’t you understand?” Well hell, maybe I’m not talkingabout ice skating either." -Nina Ryan,”
