Red Archer - Book 2 of the Red August Series
NOW AVAILABLE
|
Following a season of late weddings and new romance, August Archer is ready to embrace the next part of her life—ready to reclaim her lost heritage, and to join herself with the man she loves. But her sojourn with Faolan to their Scottish homeland turns out to be a very different trip than either of them could have imagined. August feels the bonds of love twisting into knots when the past comes back to haunt them both, even as the bonds of family grow stronger when she finds the hunter clans—her ancient kin—preparing to fight for what they hold dear. Before this journey ends, August will face her bitterest enemy, confront a shocking betrayal in the Archer family, and become transformed by a spirit world she never dreamed existed. And she will encounter a ghost from the past that threatens to unravel her entire future, in this reimagined saga of the Red Riding Hood story—the sequel to Red August. |

Red August - 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. |

H.L. writes contemporary fairy tale re-tellings with dashes of sex and romance. She places an emphasis on strong female characters of various ages and body types.
