Scientist Talia Zaryn has always dreamt of an alien invasion and her own death. She's kept it secret, hoping it is nothing more than childish nightmares. However, when the face in the mirror matches that of her dreams, she fears she's out of time.
Talia's work at the Space Exploration Foundation leaves no time for relationships, but Landry Sutton isn't looking for a friend. He's looking for a traitor. His ability to sense emotions convinces him Talia is the traitor until a touch sizzles between them. In an instant, their minds are connected telepathically.
Together they must uncover the secrets of Sendek's past if they hope to defeat the terrifying creatures descending on their world. Talia is the key--if she can learn to trust the magic coursing through her veins.
The Magic Wakes has 91 reviews on Amazon for 4.4 out of 5 stars. It was originally published in 2013 with WiDo Publishing but I received my rights back in 2017 and released it myself the same year. Since regaining my rights I have seen an increase in sales. With WiDo, I only made $12 in royalties every 6 months, I do that every month on my own. It may not be a lot, but I'm working in the right direction finally.
A third vehicle carrying Space Exploration Foundation equipment had been attacked. The sleek bullet-shaped tram lay crumpled beside the track and spread across half a mile of protected lands like a serrated accordion. Its silver exterior had been marred by scorches and patches of the thick orange foam used to put out the flames. The last car in line had been flayed open. Its contents carried away while those guarding it had been left in a bloody heap in the corner. The terrorists had left forty people dead. All for the acquisition of military grade communications technology.
“There’s another reason to stop traveling for the SEF.” Talia rubbed the stone necklace resting at her throat.
She couldn’t look at the bodies any longer. Instead, she focused on the surrounding wilderness. Trees, grass, everything near the tracks had been burned. The reporter rambled on about the environmental disaster as if no one had lost their lives.
Talia was relieved when the news feed was interrupted by the house computer, “Incoming call, SEF President Cahal.”
Talia stood and smoothed her hair back. “Accept call.”
The disturbing images were replaced by a gray-haired man in his sixties, sitting at a desk overflowing with books and papers. His normally kind face looked ashen.
“Miss Zaryn, are you watching the news nets?”
“Yes, sir.”
He nodded. “The program has taken a hit that puts us months, maybe a year behind schedule.”
“I can begin work on another satellite as soon as the parts are delivered.”
