GOODREADS

SEDITIOUS
The Fourth Novel in
The Light-Bearer Series

SYNOPSIS

Seditious is the perfect title for the 4th book in The Light-Bearer Series. This book captures jealously, deceit, and restoration of love flawlessly.
Life at the Castle Charmeine is blissful until reality of the ruling the Elder Council of the Blood-Hunters causes dissent. An unexpected depth to both Tabbruis and Dmitri’s personalities humanizes both men.
This novel shows a side to Tabbruis and Charmeine’s relationship which will throw any reader of The Light-Bearer Series off kilter. Seditious is the continuation of their romantic and turbulent love story and mission on Earth to battle Lucifer’s minions!
Lord Cromwell is a lethal Blood-Hunter who has escaped the Elder Council Prison. He sends his beautiful agent to cause destruction to those who live at the Castle Charmeine.
Bathsheba is a deadly, sexy, and vicious siren who threatens Charmeine and Baby Hunter. Not just with her present actions, but, with the past she shares with Tabbruis and Dmitri. However, the family works together to unravel Bathsheba’s deadly secrets.
Just when you think they are in the clear, a more heinous and ominous villain waits in the wings to tear apart our ill-fated lovers, Charmeine and Tabbruis.
Seditious is a heart wrenching and exciting story of passion, betrayal, and redemption you will not want to miss!

Excerpt from SEDITIOUS the Fourth Novel in The Light-Bearer Series​

Charmeine knew this beautiful woman was a very powerful Blood-Hunter. She felt Baby Hunter kicking and fought to control her anxiety.
“Ah, yes, very good gentlemen. We have her now.” The mysterious woman told the men in a thick, French accent. She gazed with wide spellbinding eyes at Charmeine. She looked like a cat ready to pounce on her prey.
The man who held Charmeine pushed her to go out the terrace doors.
She knew this was a kidnapping and worried for Baby Hunter. Charmeine struggled to gain some kind of fighting advantage.image
The Light-Bearers practiced their self-defense skills with her daughter, Sandra, and worked on how to get out these hand-binding holds. After Charmeine’s encounters with Pascal, she never wanted to feel helpless again.
With speed and accuracy, Charmeine used her power to fly up backwards over the head of the Blood-Hunter. She broke out of his grip. Immediately, she leveled him with a powerful and fierce bolt of white electricity which stunned him into a stupor.
Percival took this opportunity to sweep the legs of the man who held him. He stunned his assailant, and made him fall down in pain with a green charge which ran through his body.
“Use your light for Athena!” Charmeine yelled to Percival.
Percival threw a green lightning bolt at the man who held Athena.
Within a second, the Blood-Hunter was on the ground. A green current cursed through him.
“Halt!” the Blood-Hunter woman demanded.
Charmeine looked up and a hand gun was aimed at her belly.
The woman widened her indigo eyes with her fangs exposed. She threatened, “You really never know where a bullet will go? Do you?” she laughed.
Her maniacal giggles curdled Charmeine’s blood. She could tell the Blood-Hunter woman was telling the truth.
“Yes, the bullet could just land somewhere very unhealthy for your unborn spawn.” She circled Charmeine like a shark swimming around its prey. “Not that hurting spawn of this Light-Bearer scum would matter,” she quipped in a matter-of-fact way.
Charmeine began to feel waves of nausea and fought the urge to be sick.
“The offspring is just a by-product.” With a sinister laugh the woman scoffed, “Yes, a by-product which should be tossed aside and thrown away like the trash it is . . . as soon as we cut it out of you!”
She began to laugh with a vicious tone and stuck the gun in Charmeine’s belly ready to pull the trigger.

Questions for Author Emily Guido

On a similar note (pun intended), what music (genre, artist, etc.) most inspires your writing?
I like to listen to classical or easy listening music with headphones on. I hate being interrupted while I write, so sometimes, I stay up all night and write.

Which of your own stories is your favorite?
I don’t know if I have a favorite story since it’s a series. However, I would love to have dinner with Dmitri. He is the oldest and wisest of all the Blood-Hunters. But he still is totally gorgeous with long black hair and deep blue hypnotic eyes. He has a sense of humor like you wouldn’t believe. I don’t think Dmitri would like anything else but blood for dinner, but I would chomp on my steak while listening to his interesting stories about his past on Earth and look into his dreamy blue eyes. Totally got a thing for Dmitri, sorry, he is my fav!

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
Keep writing and know social media to promote your book but also just say to yourself each day this mantra…
It only takes one…
One person to read your book
One person to tell another person about your book
One person to buy your book
And so on…

Tell me about your current work-in-progress and what your plans are for it.
SEDITIOUS is my fourth novel in The Light-Bearer Series and is coming out shortly, published by PDMI Publishing. YEAH! In a month it will be out on pre-sell on Amazon. SEDITIOUS is the perpetuation of Tabbruis and Charmeine’s love affair. They are enjoying life until the reality of ruling the Elder Council and Temple Guards come crashing down on them. Then a sexy, mysterious and gorgeous woman appears at the Castle Charmeine ready to take what she wants by orders of her Master, Lord Cromwell. Twists and turns, ups and downs are in in this novel of passion and redemption.

What is your ultimate goal as a writer? (To write for pleasure? To be a best-selling author? Something else?)
I write strictly for pleasure. Oh yes, I dream of having my books read around the world. However, if I did this for money or to be famous, I would have never gotten this far. My goal is to enjoy and pass on this wonderful story of The Light-Bearer Series! I have spent a lot of money making these books come to life and promoting them. I also network. I have spent hours promoting these books. It is a labor of love, and if I make anything, I just put it back into the books and promotion.

Accendo (The Light-Bearer, #3)

Spoiler alert – This is Book III of The Light-Bearer Series by Emily Guido

She remembered………

Tabbruis had been taken from her, but she was being given an opportunity to save him from Hell.

She heard, “Accendo Charmeine….. You will set in motion your destiny when you cross the gates of Heaven” . “Accendo Charmeine.”

amnesia_review_moonlight

Charmeine and Tabbruis assembled everyone in the Grand Hall.  It was decided, they would go to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece to put an end to the Elder Council. Charmeine and Tabbruis would lead them into battle.

Charmeine had been warned about the dangers and she told them everything. Tabbruis argued with her, when she told him her plan.

Her heart broke. She knew he had no trust or respect for her plan of attack. He had lied to her, betrayed her trust. Tabbruis had failed her. She was his gift from God, how could he not believe?  She felt she would have to leave her family and friends in order to save them.

Jewelry-Emerald-5x7mm-Solid-14kt-font-b-White-b-font-Gold-0-85Ct-Diamond-Yellow-font

As Tabbuis watched her ring drop, his heartbeat slowed. He was terrified, as he looked around, stunned that she had left.

He followed her, but Charmeine knew it was wrong. Wrong to let him convince her to follow him into battle. Even in her sorrow, she fought, and her vision was fulfilled. Not everyone returned to Romania alive and the Elder Council still lived.

It took losing her to make Tabbruis see, that she was the strong one –  her- not him. He realized how wrong he had been, not to have faith in her. How wrong, not to believe in God and God’s plan.

Now, what would become of them?

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos   4 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others

The story strikes at your soul. Telling of love, faith, loyalty, trust, betrayal and the ultimate sacrifice one makes to save those you love. Emily’s writing is simple and direct. It speaks to my heart. I laugh as I’m writing that. I’m turning into an old softie. That is SO not who I am. LOL

This is a novel about religion, but not like any religious novel you have read before. Emily Guido’s approach to God, Hell, Heaven, Angels, Vampires, Judgment day…..is so unique it sets her books apart from the rest. Everyone starts out as an Angel, it is the choices you make that change you from innocent and good, to evil and everything in between.

Do you believe we are born good or evil? Do you think it is our environment that makes us choose one over the other? Is it our love for family and friends that helps us make the right choices in life? Or do we occasionally become lost through no fault of our own?

The books get my mind working.  Isn’t that what a book is supposed to do? Leave your mind running long after you have closed the cover? Each book is better than the last.

I have fallen in love with the characters and their plight. In their deepest sorrow, my heart mourns for them. In their happiness, my heart soars. At the end of each book, I am saddened by the need to wait for the next one. I want to know right now what is going to happen. This will be a series I will reread when I have all the books in hand. ^_^

I received this book from Emily Guido. She has not asked for a review, but I happily give it.

I have had tons of questions lately about my snippets and what my novels “The Light-Bearer Series” are about.  I just thought that since most of the people who receive this blog post are my friends, I wanted you to know why I am so passionate about “The Light-Bearer Series,“ and love to share my passion with you!

First of all, plain and simple… I LOVE ROMANCE!

 

That’s it… I just love a great story of finding love,  keeping love and being in love!  When I wrote the novels I wanted a story to reflect that premise.  Also, I really wanted a series of novels that was inclusive of everyone… no matter how different or broken.

I wanted “The Light-Bearer Series” to be about a classic couple… Tabbruis and Charmeine… who had to fight Heaven and Hell to be together because they were so different.  She being an Angelic, Light-Bearer and Tabbruis being a Hellish Blood-Hunter… how they accepted and loved each other’s differences and short-comings… isn’t that what love is about… ACCEPTANCE?

Mactus (The Light-Bearer, #2)

Add to Goodreads

Charmeine and Tabbruis awoke to Shane barging in, demanding answers. Shane was very protective of Charmeine and he didn’t like the idea that Tabbrius could be taking advantage of her.

Tabbruis told him that he had been an orphan, like Charmeine and that he was also a vampire. Charmeine went on to tell Shane how they had found out that Tabbruis was a Blood-Hunter and she was a Light-Bearer. Tabbruis explained that they were sworn enemies, but their love was something special, their hearts beat as one, and Tabbruis could no longer see a life without her.

Shane proceeded to tell them, that he was also an orphan. He told them about a dream he had. It was the same dream that Charmeine and Tabbruis had been talking about. They had all been together. What could it mean?

Then, everything came rushing back to Charmeine. She told them what she remembered, that her and Tabbruis had been married and Shane was their child. They had been a family in Heaven. Shane was the one to voice the question – Why? Why had they forgotten? And what had happened to separate them?

Hurt, pain, and loneliness poured from them, only to replaced by love, joy and a sense of belonging.

Tabbruis’ voodoo stare told them to do as he said, when he told them to get ready to leave. They were going to Romania. Dimitri had sent Tabbruis’ “brother” to collect them.

They were attacked at the airport. The fight was brutal and to the death. No one had known, not even Shane, that he had powers, but when the Blood-Hunter took Charmeine, Shane was the one who saved her.

Tabbruis had seen a darkness surrounding Charmeine, but said nothing.

As they approached Dimitri’s castle, security kept getting tighter, more intense. It was now going to be their home too.draculas castle Pictures, Images and Photos

In Tabbruis’ dream, Charmeine was being tortured. He awoke with a start and immediately started looking for her, but she was gone. He had told her that God had made him for her and she for him. Their hearts beat in tune and their love would save them.

But, like the “Son”, would Charmeine  sacrifice herself to save the others?

4 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others

Taz Valentine 1 Pictures, Images and Photos

The cover is pretty, but does not do the story justice. It does show that Charmeine and Tabbruis are together, but it does not portray what they will have to go through to make that happen. The title is appropriate. It will take good luck for them to make it through what is to come.

Not only do the characters grow on you, the story deepens and takes you along with it. As they fight to survive, they risk it all. But Tabbruis does not want to live without Charmeine. He must convince her, not to sacrifice herself. There has to be another way.

Their friends will give up their lives to help keep them safe. How many of us can say the same? To have such loyal family and friends could be something we all strive for. Not only to have for ourselves, but to be that family member or friend that would do the same.

I marvel at Emily’s ability to, not just create the story, but to be able to describe it so vividly that I feel as if it could be real. Who is to say? Do you believe in Angels? If you do, then there must be demons also. Who knows what form they would take.

I received this book free from the author. I am not sure if she expected a review or not, but as I read through every book of the series (and I can hardly wait to start the next book) I will be doing a review for each and every one. I would like others to see, that this is a series that they will want to add to their collection of books.

Some Of My Favorite Quotes

“So I will have you forever.” – Tabbruis

“Yep! No exchanges or refunds. You’ve already ripped off the tag. Sorry.” – Charmeine

“Marriage is a three-ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring  and suffering.” -Tabbruis

Their song “She’s got a way” by Billy Joel

Notes to Reviewers and Readers:
First, the Blood-Hunter race or Elders have been on Earth for thousands of years. Because of this, they do not use contractions like I’m, don’t or can’t. They communicate in a more refined way because of their age.

Second, there are several OLD editions out in circulation of my books. Please leave a review on the current edition. Please feel free to contact me, Emily, at guido.emily@gmail.com to check the edition you have is the recent edition.

Emily Guido’s Book Signing in Birmingham Alabama

Posted on by

This post comes straight from Emily Guido to you!!!!!!

IT WAS A WONDERFUL TIME!

First of all, you all know that I abhor having my picture taken!

I just don’t take good pictures ever!

Slide1

So, I am coming out of my comfort zone… so to speak…with these pictures.

It took 14 hours  of straight driving through to arrive in St. Louis, Missouri!

I turned my radar detector on and made it in my Dodge CHARGER SRT8 with HEMI engine in record time.

By the way… the Charger is what my Hero, Tabbruis drives!  Funny how life imitates art???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

photo (4)

We visited with my husband’s family and that went very well.

I don’t know if you watched “Everybody Loves Raymond” and or “Martha Stewart“… so if you didn’t, you won’t get this at all…

198551

Matt’s mom is the original “Everybody Loves Raymond/Martha Stewart” Combo Mother-in-Law.

Every meal was to die for.  But it’s hard to explain how “Debra” I feel sometimes.

However, his family put up with my editing and working on my book while I was there.  His family even came to Birmingham with us.

I have to say, it was very nice of his family to come and give me and Matt their support!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Birmingham Library

Then we pack everything and go down to Birmingham, Alabama for the Book Expo at the Birmingham Library.

UNFREAKINGBELIVABLE… I have NEVER seen a library so big!

The Birmingham Library had two buildings, it was beautiful and airy! Just perfect!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

photo (3)

We stayed at the Tutwiler Hotel right across from the Library and it was GORGEOUS inside and out!

The room was comfortable and VERY luxurious!

I was blown away at how nice it was! If you ever need to stay in Birmingham…stay at the Tutwiler…it is MARVELOUS!!!

And no, I’m not getting a commercial endorsement fee…haha!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night before the Book Expo we dined at the Applebees with my family, another author Daven Anderson of “Vampire Syndrome” and my Publisher PDMI Direct, TC McKinney, his wife Nessa and his two children Wayne and Christian.

By the way, his kids are adorable!

My books box set

My Publisher TC and Nessa presented me with WONDERFUL news!

PDMI, my publisher took my first three books and put them in a LIMITED EDITION GOLD BOX SET of my first three books, “Charmeine,” “Mactus,” and “Accendo.”

There will be ONLY 250 of them made. SQUEEEEEE!!!

The box set looks awesome and it came with a certificate of authenticity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CHARMEINE Put together the way I ORIGINALLY wrote it!!A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME!

Then that wasn’t enough to make my jaw fall on the floor…wait until you hear and see this.

They put all my first three books together in one paperback novel the way I originally intended it!!!

I started to cry.

You have no idea what it’s like to see your ORIGINAL NOVEL put together the way YOU WROTE IT!!

I was so happy and looked at that thick bound book novel and thought about all the work and struggle it was to have that precious book in my hands!

They even had it put together as a “Signature Edition of CHARMEINE” which means it has my signature embossed in the novel on the front cover and in the novel itself!

OH MY GOD!  How wonderful!

I’m welling in tears just writing about it

Because folks… I was just in Heaven and still am to see my “Baby” come to life the way I envisioned it to be!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At dinner the night before and presented with the Limited Edition Box Set and MY ORIGINAL Novel they way I intended it to be!

I am really happy in this picture, I was just recovering from crying and the shock of the GOLD EDITION novels bound together and then my ORIGINAL signature edition novel!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

photo (13)1

The next day was the Book Expo!

I was very excited and also nervous.  My husband took this picture. I didn’t know he took it until I saw the pictures. Before the Expo started I had to say a prayer and THANK GOD for letting this day come.

I am not a righteous or overly religious person…no.

However, I do have to thank God for all I have been given and the chances I have had which most people don’t ever have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Book Signing for someone

The Book Expo was great!  These are some pics my husband, Matt took.

Yes folks…he is very similar in a lot of ways to Tabbruis…hubba, hubba!

The signing was fun and people in Birmingham have got to be the nicest people to be so welcoming to me and the other authors.

148_020213

More pictures of signing books!

163_020213

It was so much fun!

Daven Anderson Author of "Vampire Syndrome"

Met PDMI’s other Authors like I said before Daven Anderson of “Vampire Syndrome”!!!

PDMI Direct Publishing only part of the Authors and Owners

Then this is a picture of all of PDMI’s Authors and Owners!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My wonderful mom! 92 and still going... even with Alzheimers!

Now it was time to visit my family and my mom.

We took Matt’s family back to St. Louis and then came to Evansville, Indiana where I was born and raised.

I visited family and Mom. She has Alzheimers and didn’t recognize me at all but she talked to me.

However she looked great and is being well-taken care of!  She is doing awesome and keeps on being the wonderful lady she is.

I LOVED SEEING and BEING WITH HER!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Returned home to NEMO! Just made it in time and was THANKFULLY safe. BUT we are buried in snow!!!

The Storm “NEMO” cut our visit short and we left Evansville, Indiana speeding home in my Charger to race the storm back to New Jersey!

I’m not ashamed to tell you that THANK GOD the Charger is a high performance machine because we raced her all the way home!

We made it!

But it is shovel time!!

EVERYTHING is shut down and a lot of people don’t have power or heat!

Again LONG gas lines…just like Sandy!!!

But New Jersey is tough and we didn’t get it as bad as Long Island did!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well Folks that was my wonderful trip!

It was fun and exciting!

Now, I have a book signing much more closer to home at the

County College of Morris on MARCH 4th in Randolph, New Jersey!

I am thanking God for these wonderful opportunities,

AND I thank you too!

Before we get to the snippet, I wanted to tell my friends about why I chose the paranormal genre to write in and especially… “The Light-Bearer Series.”

I love romance and yes, I could have written a romance novel or novels.  They would have been lovely to write.

However, what gets my blood pumping is not only romance, but mystery, intrigue and terror from the supernatural!  Forces that we have no control over or forces that twist our fate.

In “Mactus,” Tabbruis and Charmeine are so in love but their love is threatened by those supernatural forces that they have no control over.

The Elder Council, (the Blood-Hunter’s ruling body) are sort of ‘Mystic Bullies’ who mark this couple for death because one race cannot stand the other race.  ”Light cannot have dark and dark cannot have light.”  Both races rage this war because of prejudice.

So, I just thought a little insight might make you possibly want to download and read this wonderful continuation of “The Light-Bearer Series.”  I hope you enjoy and onto the Snippet!

Shane shook his head while taking huge bites and swallowing the food down.  He said, “Nope, not with that voodoo stare Dad has.  He can convince anyone to do anything.  Sort of like Obi-Wan Kenobi in Mos Eisley, when he stares down the Imperial Storm troopers to let them pass, you know?  I would love to have that trick up my sleeve.”  Shane mock stared at her grinning wide while he was gulping the last of his food down.

Among other things, Charmeine wondered why Shane had not inherited any of their powers.  However, she thought it was better he was a normal human.  This was his world since he was a child.  Charmeine’s mind was flinging question after question one right after another as she was eating her cold toast and drinking her lukewarm coffee.

Tabbruis came into the room rubbing his hands together and smiling.  He had already showered, shaved and changed.  Charmeine thought how could ever think he was human; he was dressed in black jeans and boots with a tight fitted black T-shirt over his muscles.  His green eyes were bright and his hair was combed back with his bangs of dark chestnut hair on his forehead.  He also smelled terrific and she warmed when she caught his scent in her nose.

Tabbruis said, “Listen you two; I have a lot of things to say and I need no arguments from you…”  He scanned their eyes for confirmation.

Charmeine nodded and Shane said, “Okay… shoot.”

Tabbruis took a breath and said, “I have wealth.  I have a place where we can go and be secure.  I know the terrain there and have security put into place for our transport and transition there.  First, Charmeine…” he bent down and picked up her hand while it was sparking.  He said, “My love, my Charmeine.  I love you!”

Charmeine looked into his deep green eyes and saw he was telling the truth.  She sighed.

Then Tabbruis and Charmeine heard a chuckle across the table and both stared at Shane.  He said, “Oh, go ahead folks… just keep the mushy stuff to a minimum here.  I’m trying to keep down my cold breakfast.”  They all started to laugh.

Tabbruis pulled a dining room chair out and sat down.  With a serious look, he said, “Now, I am having both of your apartments cleaned out and your belongings are being shipped with us.  All of our cars are coming too.  We leave on my jet in 90 minutes.  If you do not have your passports, do not worry I have connections that will get yours done and waiting at the airport for us.  I need you two to get your showers and change into comfortable clothes for travel.  It will take us several hours to arrive there.”

Tabbruis held up hands and said, “I do not want any arguments, it is being done so our family can be safe.  Nothing and I mean nothing is more important than our family being safe.  Do you both understand?  No arguments!”

Shane and Charmeine began to speak, but he looked at them in their eyes and said, “It is for the best we do this to protect our family.  I need you dressed and ready to go to the heliport in about twenty-five minutes.  Do not worry about packing what you have at the hotel either, everything is being shipped, and we will have it shortly after our arrival.”

Charmeine took a deep breath, no use arguing with her ‘husband’ when he used the ‘voodoo stare’ as her son called it, even though she knew it never worked on her.  She said, “May I ask one question?”

He nodded reticently, “Where are we going Tabbruis?”

Tabbruis looked her and Shane in the eye with a big smile.  Charmeine looked at Shane with a bit of anxiousness in her stomach.

Tabbruis said with a sparkle in his eye, “Romania!”
