Hey, Everyone. I’m not going to lie. I suck at technology.

I do.

Seriously.

I wish I had the techie brain, but I don’t. I know enough to get by. That’s it. However, I must not be a complete computer moron because I was able to create the following videos. The first one I made like five flippin’ years ago. It’s a book trailer for my first book (Beyond the Eyes) which is FREE hereà

Book Trail

(The first one I ever made.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F36v7wnqWs

I didn’t create one for the second book (Dark Spirits) in the trilogy. I don’t know why. I probably will in the future. I did create this one for my third book (The Devil’s Third) in the trilogy. It’s my favorite one. I love it. Check it out hereà

Not too long ago I made this video about my trilogy, its companion, and a spin-off book. Here it isà https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMHM3Cf-NOw

I also recently created this book trailer for my new release Legends of Deceit. It came out better than I thought. Check it outà https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwETbva5cG0

So I need to make one for Ameerah, Tangled Roots, and Dark Spirits . . . or would like to. Right now I’m writing the first draft to the second book in my Legends of Deceit series. I hit the halfway mark the other day.

Yay!

I have a lot going on in my life and would like this next book to be published at the beginning of 2018. I’ll see how things go. I’m not going to stress about it. I have an exciting future planned out. I’ll share it with you when things start rolling.

Anyway, if a non-techie gal like myself can create videos, so can you. It’s a fun way to advertise your work or business—to get it out into this world.

Cheers!

Hello, everyone! I’m so happy to be here at Rebekkah Ford's Blog. Thanks for inviting me, Becki!

My name is Vashti Quiroz-Vega and I’m a writer of Fantasy, Horror and Thriller. If you enjoy reading short stories in those genres and poetry you can do so on my blog, The Writer Next Door | Vashti Q. I’m here today to tell you a little about myself and to introduce my new novel, The Fall of Lilith.

I began reading, writing and storytelling early. In elementary school I drew pictures and wrote stories in comic book form and sold them for a quarter a piece. I grew up in a religious home, attended a religious private school and went to church regularly with my parents. I read many religious books. I also enjoyed fairy tales and mythology and devoured many of these types of books. I’ve always been curious about angels and other supernatural creatures. The combination of all of the above was the inspiration for The Fall of Lilith.

The Fall of Lilith is an adult (18+) epic fantasy with dark elements about angels. It is the first installment of my Fantasy Angels Series. The characters in this story are angels depicted in a very unique way. It is a story of many twists, surprises and a bit of controversy.

Blurb:

“I merely assisted you in doing what you desired all along.”

So says Lilith, the most exquisite of the angels. The two most important pledges an angel makes to God are those of obedience and celibacy, and dire consequences await any who break their oaths.

At first, the angels are happy in their celestial home, learning and exploring together. As they grow older, though, Lilith begins to question these pledges, which now seem arbitrary and stifling. Her challenge of the status quo leads to disagreement, jealousy, and strife among her peers. As the arguing and acrimony grow, lines are drawn and sides are chosen. Is war inevitable?

Filled with robust characters, incredible landscapes, and exciting action, The Fall of Lilith is an epic tale of seduction, betrayal, and revenge.

Free Will involves asking difficult questions and making hard choices, choices that require strength and sacrifice. These decisions can tear apart friendships and cause rifts between allies.

They can even threaten the foundations of Heaven.

“The Fall of Lilith is a compelling narrative that provides background on several well-known, supernatural figures. Though obviously religious in nature, Quiroz-Vega’s book strays far from traditional biblical text. Sea monsters, mermaids, and vampires share the stage with angels and demons. And illicit (and explicit) affairs, violent battles, and graphic injuries abound. Quiroz-Vega’s prose is incredibly descriptive. A well-written, descriptive, and dark creation story.”–– Kirkus Reviews

As a gift to her readers, Vashti is giving this ebook away for FREE. But you better grab it now because this offer ends soon! If you do download The Fall of Lilith, which I already have, please do a review and post it to Amazon. It doesn’t have to be long. It helps authors out. Thank you.

Since the beginning of mankind, dark spirits have been possessing soulless humans or humans that invited them into their bodies. They can live the life they desire and enjoy the pleasures of being back in the flesh, such as sex, alcohol, drugs, food, and whatnot. Your neighbor, co-worker, classmate, the charming guy you met at the bar, could be one of them. He’s what Aiden said to Ameerah. He’s an Irish dark spirit who was her recruiter:

Once they’re bored with the body they’re dwelling in, they can vacate it and hop into another one or go back to their realm. They’re hedonistic, they love to have a good time and stir up mischief. Most of them detest humans and tend to cause them problems. Ameerah’s book and audiobook tell and show you how and why.

Then you have the immortals who protects humanity against these cloaked beings. Their ears ring when they’re near a dark spirit and when they look at one inhabiting a human they see a light swipe across the iris or the whole eye glow. They have the ability to cast them out of the body. Immortals are fast and have super strength. Paige in Beyond the Eyes, which the ebook is free, btw, happened to be yanked into this hidden world from our society.

Have you ever looked into someone's eyes and saw nothing? Could it be possible that soulless people walk among us, only to be possessed by a dark entity? Was Hitler one of them?

Here’s a video I created years ago before The Devil’s Third was published.

So what if the Beyond the Eyes trilogy and Ameerah is true? It’s certainly plausible. In Ameerah’s story, she takes the reader on a journey on why and how she became a dark spirit and what it’s like to possess a body. I have to admit, being one seems like a lot of fun. But the “old one’s” agenda is haunting. They have their grubby paws in everything: the media, the financial institutions, our schools, politics, etc. They are the shadow government.
