-->Most teenagers don't have a voice talking in their heads, but that's pretty normal for Kas. It's been there her whole life, giving her directions, keeping her from harm. When the voice advises against the family picnic in the mountains, she's sure there's a reason, but convincing her mom is another matter.
While in the mountains, Kas accidentally stumbles on a gateway to another dimension. Almost immediately, her life is in peril. From a disembodied man known only as Milord and a hoard of hooded men who want her soul, she doesn't know who to trust in this strange place where dreams become reality.
As Kas learns more about who she is and how she came to the Waymeet of Worlds, it becomes clear that someone is lying to her. But is it the voice she's known her whole life or the new friends she finds in Milord's castle. Choosing the wrong people to trust could cost her soul and prevent her from fulfilling her destiny.

Ten fun Facts:

1 - I almost double-majored in college with an English: Creative Writing and General Art degree.
2 - I am the third of eight children.
3 - It is my goal to, I one day, find a diamond in the ground.
4 - Not only do I write, but I also voice act for a small production company I own that produces shows based off of Japanese comics (manga).
5 - I usually have between three and five different stories that I'm working on at any given time.
6 - I am distantly related to several different former presidents of the United States.
7 - I always wanted to be a red head so I will occasionally dye my hair that color.
8 - I like to cosplay (dress up as) different characters from anime (Japanese cartoons), as well as original characters.
9 - I named my car Edward, not after the character from Twilight, but after an character from the manga Fullmetal Alchemist. (My car is silver.)
10 - I have the best hubby in the whole world, and I'm not just saying that because he makes the absolute best Alfredo sauce on the planet.

And a fun Author interview question
.      How did you come to write this particular book or series?

Kas started out as a sort of Beauty and the Beast story that I wrote in high school. Over the course of ten plus years, I wasn't satisfied with the basics and tore it apart over and over again. After piecing back together the patchwork I'd made of it, it became what it is now.

Book Tour: Gabe by Irish Winters


We are excited to release the 8th book in this serious!

Author Irish Winters brings us the In the Company of Sniper series for another gripping tale of honor, duty, and romance.



Alex Stewart is dead. Murdered.
While The TEAM struggles to deal with the blow they never saw coming, ex-Marine Gabe Cartwright is assigned to protect Alex’s widow, Kelsey. Already haunted by the fear that he let his boss die, he vows to protect her with his life. Nothing and no one will get in his way—until bossy Nurse Sullivan arrives to care for Kelsey. Sullivan is anti-gun, anti-dog, and seemingly anti-the whole male gender.
The last damned thing he needs...
It’s her way or the highway.
Shelby Sullivan is an admitted control freak. She loves her new client, Kelsey Stewart, and intends to help her in any way possible, but has no use for her bodyguards. Not even the semi-charming Agent Cartwright will interfere with the perfect performance of her duties—until she disregards his protection measures and leads Death straight back to Kelsey.
Gabe isn’t the only one who’s haunted…

Irish Winters is an award-winning author who dabbles in poetry, grandchildren, and rarely (as in extremely rarely) the kitchen. More prone to be outdoors than in, she grew up the quintessential tomboy on a farm in rural Wisconsin, spent her teenage years in the Pacific Northwest, but calls the Wasatch Mountains of Northern Utah home. For now.
The wife of one handsome husband and mother of three perfect sons, Irish divides her time between writing at home, and travelling the country with her man while – writing. (Seriously, what else?)
She believes in making every day count for something, and follows the wise admonition of her mother to, “Look out the window and see something!”
