Springfields: The Power of Hope By: Nina Rae



Springfields: The Power of Hope

By: Nina Rae

     This cover! I love looking at it, it just takes my breath away, it is so intoxicating! Make sure you admire it, I certainly think it is worth looking at!

     And the book? Not what I expected either. So, let us begin, shall we?

     Let me introduce you to Hope. She has set out on a journey to learn about her family’s secret, both of their past, present, and even in the upcoming future. She is intrigued and wants to learn; therefore, she feels what better way to learn, then to put yourself out there, on the adventure of a lifetime, and see what all happened, and learn first-hand.

     However, one thing that Hope hadn’t anticipated, was that the Devlin name would once again appear in the realms of history, and strike a chord with Amelia; thus, causing chaos and sending Hope back into the very distant past.

     The thing is, this ends up being much like a quest, and Hope is being asked to do things. She must decide what road it is she wants to take as her destiny, in order to stop the past from traveling back to the future and causing chaos there.

     Hope is uncertain as to whom she can turn and trust for advice, therefore, she learns to trust in herself, and all the things she was taught and learned, her higher powers, and the ability to right the wrongs.

     Will Hope make the right path choices, the simpler ones, or will she fix the chaos and make the right life choices for all, and return to a happy life in the end?

     This is where you come in, and you pick the book up, and decide that it is worth reading, because I led you to believe it. And I think it is just that: worth your time. Because the journey found with Hope, will give you just that: Hope for a brighter future and a great read worthy of five wonderful stars! So, what are you waiting for?    
     Grab your copy today, this book is written like none other you’ve experienced, and well worth your time! I really enjoyed the writing style and everything, including the majestic cover! I am certain you will as well!

     Now here are my questions for Nina:





1.What made you write this book and how long did it take you?

I sat down to write a short story for a competition in the Kindred Spirit, which needed to be 2,000 words long. When I’d finished it was 10,000. I now had the bug to write. I started the editing and before I knew it the book was 111,000, now it was finished. Sent it for proof reading and editing and it was agreed to divide the book into 2 which I did.


2.      Who designed this beautiful cover?

I designed the cover


3.      Do you have any photos or descriptions of the characters that you can share with us?

No not really. I’ve got an imagine in my mind. In fact I’ve been thinking lately that I should put the descriptions on paper.


4.      What are you working on now?

I’m working on the forth book in the series


5.      What motivates you to write?

I get images in my mind and start to write. Sometimes I just see like a scene in a movie.


6.      If you were to get writers block, or have ever had it, what do you do for it?

I forget about writing and focus on something else





7.      What suggestions can you offer for the aspiring writers out there?

Don’t over think it. If you have a story to write, don’t worry about how it sounds at first, just get it down on paper. The editing and proofing comes later.

8.      How long have you been writing?

Since I was at school I’ve loved to write. Didn’t start in earnest until The Secrets of Springfields.


9.      What are your hobbies?

Writing, reading, computer and helping others with the life’s path

10.    Do you put yourself into your characters?

A lot of what happens to my characters has happened to me (maybe a little dramatised). One of the characters in the book is based on a past life experience.

11.    Where is your favorite place to write?

At home

12.    Please share with us your social media and book links:



13.    Anything to add:

          It would be great to get an honest opinion about my writing and any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Stealing Hope by Beverly Ovalle



Stealing Hope


By Beverly Ovalle

Hope is a shape shifting Dragon, who learns she has come from a family of them. Because the Apocalypse has taken place, the few surviving humans, and Shape Shifting Dragons, the World has returned back to the basics whereas everyone farms, barters and such to make ends meet. 

Ari, has felt drawn to Hope, knowing he is meant to be her mate. He, along with her brothers, Crag, Rog and Hark that she meets in different time frames, help to teach Hope about herself and educate her. 

Ari must also meet and gain the approval of Hopes father, and the rest of the family. Will he? 

This book is very humorous and has a lot of very sensuous love scenes in it. As you read along, you can very well imagine and see a very fun and intriguing action filled book. This book will pull you in, to the point of wanting to follow along in Hope’s life further to see what could and would happen to her. 


Everything you read and feel, you can see, and it is so interesting that you just feel like you are right there with them. I was to the point that I couldn’t put the book down, and I wanted to read more. Hope is a very interesting character!

You will definitively fall in love with this book! I can promise that, therefore I assure you this is a five star read! So if you haven’t already, I would suggest buying your copy today, and enjoying falling in love with Hope the shape shifting dragon and her love Ari as I did. And her family, is pretty epic too. Beverly Ovalle is an excellent story teller for any age group!



Here are my question for Beverly:


1. What made you write this book? 

I've always been fascinated by dragons and the possibility of apocalypse. I started writing this story as a National Novel Writing Month project. I got involved in telling it and kept at it until I was done.

2. How long did it take you to write this book?

I wrote everyday in November, but didn't finish it until June that next year, so eight months.

3. Do you have any photos or descriptions of these characters? (Like Hope or Ari?)

Ari is black haired with gold eyes, stocky and in great physical shape. In his dragon form, his eyes stay the same. His scales are black with a blue tint. He has wings, and a row on spikes from his head to his tail. Hope is blue eyed and her hair is a mix of red and blonde, and brown, a chestnut color. Hope's dragon is small, much smaller than Ari. Her eyes still are blue and her scales a glistening copper, reflective of her hair in her human form. My inspirational photos for Ari and Hope and the rest of the dragons can be found on my pinterest page at https://www.pinterest.com/ovalleba/a-dragons-fated-heart-series-inspiration/.

4. Who are your favorite Author(s)?

Christine Feehan, Stephanie Laurens, G.A. Aikens, and T.S. Joyce.

5. What are you currently working on?

I am revising A Saint's Salvation, adding the heroines point of view and the next in the series, A Sailor's Delight and also working on Finding Faith, the second book in A Dragon's Fated Heart series.

6. What are your hobbies?

I love to read of course. I sew, and bead and race around town on my scooter. If I'm indoor, I love to game.

7. What can you suggest to those wanting to write a book?

Go for it. Give it a try. I never thought anything I wrote would ever be in someone else's hands but I tried it and it is a fantastic feeling when someone likes it.

8. Is it hard to get published?

It's not easy, but it is worth the time. Self publishing makes it easier to do it yourself but it is much more involved.

9. Please provide us a link to all of your work and how we can follow it and you:
