Red August is a New Adult Paranormal Romance Adventure - Book One in a Series
What if you found out that you were descended from a long line of clandestine fighters, and that your family was still at war? Or that the love of your life was something other than human? August Archer thinks she's a normal teenage girl—even though she has been having disturbing and erotic dreams about wolves lately. Still grieving over the loss of her bookish, charming father, and wondering over his final gift of a red hooded cloak, August is uprooted from her New York City apartment to a tiny town in Maryland, and the rambling Victorian house where he grew up. There she meets a wise woman with a gift for herbal medicine, the gentle old man who keeps the house in repair and the grounds thriving, and her new neighbor: an enigmatic, irresistibly fascinating man who refuses to talk to her, yet who seems to know her better than she knows herself, and fuels her most intense romantic fantasies. But it's when August begins to coax her feisty Scottish grandmother out of her self-imposed catatonia that a strange tale of werewolves and hunters emerges—one in which the man of her dreams may be her family's oldest enemy—in this modern-day telling of the Red Riding Hood story. |
REVIEW EXCERPTS
"Grab a fan, because the teen hormones are raging, in full, intimate detail! Red August by H.L. Brooks is not your childhood fairytale come to life, but rather a contemporary version starring an older Red, caught between womanhood and childhood. Filled with wonderfully quirky and kind secondary characters, a feisty grandmother, an ancient feud, death, misunderstandings and a cameo appearance by the Woodsman, H.L. Brooks has taken May-December romances to an entirely new level with her own brand of story telling for the fairytale lover in all of us! I have to say, I didn't see this one coming!"

"I absolutely loved this book and the characters! I immediately fell in love with August she is such a smart young lady, takes crap from no one and is a very relatable character; Oh, and Faolan, gosh that man is complete perfection such a gentleman and he loves to read, he is very swoon worthy. The side characters also have a place in my heart; the way H.L. Brooks wrote them just makes them so lovable. I really loved the story and how it all plays out; the author hit me with some twist I wasn't expecting and had me at the edge of my seat."

Now Available - The Yoni Coloring Book: For Your Inner and Outer Goddess by H.L. Brooks
|
You can have fun coloring in the new yoni coloring book by yourself or with your friends. It would make a great gift for Mother's Day, birthdays, bridal showers and feminine bonding retreats, sleepovers and even adult parties. Also a good way to introduce young ones to the female genitalia.
Yoni is the Sanskrit word for womb or sacred passage—and what better way to consider this most sacred part of a woman's body than in this goddess-like aspect? With 22 different hand-drawn designs by artist H.L. Brooks, this coloring book for adults celebrates the yoni both as a symbol of womanhood and also as a highly individual form—unique to every woman and each beautiful in her own way. The pages are printed on the front side only, allowing you to use markers, gel pens, or watercolors as well as colored pencils or crayons, and each intricately drawn yoni is presented on a plain background, waiting for your creative touches (stars, rainbows, paisley patterns, hearts, or what-have-you). You can get it for $8.99 HERE. |
