J.F. Jenkins has taken the time to stop by and give us a sneak peak at the places she would want to visit... Off you go.

The Five Places I Want to Visit:

My list might seem a little bizarre to some people. There are so many places in the world to see and so much to experience it was hard to come up with only five. These aren't in any particular order, and I'm sure if you were to ask me again on another day I'd have different answers too.

JAPAN

I've heard so many great things about this country and it looks so beautiful. There's a lot I want to see. The city, the countryside, everything. I love the culture and the food. Plus the people there seem super cool as well. I've had several friends go out that way before and they have only come home saying wonderful things. I don't know a word of Japanese, but it'd still be fun to go and experience such a culturally rich place. For more information
about this amazing country, check out online schooling for history courses that can teach you the social and cultural history of the 20th century Japan.

LAS VEGAS

This one might seem weird. Out of all the places in the world to go see, Vegas? But the observer in me geeks out at the idea. I want to see things, watch people, explore, and there is a lot of that to do out in Vegas. There are things to be seen that can't be seen elsewhere. It's not a place I'd like to stay for a long period of time. A handful of days should be more than enough, but what a great place to go people watch!

ROMANIA

I read this book called “The Historian”. It's about the historical evidence of Dracula. Needless to say, it resonated with me, and Romania was a big part of the story. I want to go and see all of the old buildings and the history described in the novel.

DUBAI

Seeing pictures of this city is enough to sell me on going there. It's gorgeous! The tall skyscrapers, the beautiful beach, and all of the man made islands in the cool shapes? What's not to like? Plus there would be more interesting culture to explore. And it looks a lot like how I picture one of the cities in my Dragon's Saga series.

THE ROSE RED MANSION

I kind of have this thing for Stephen King. After seeing the movie Rose Red, I found out it's an actual house that's out in Washington. Naturally, I have to go visit it. I don't think I'd be able to sleep there even though it's a hotel. The images from the movie are too vivid in my mind to handle something like that, but I'd love to take a tour and step through its glorious halls. Plus it kind of makes me think of what I imagine the school in Vala looking like. 

WOW those are some awesome places! I especially LOVE Rose Red House! I used to dream of a house like that when I was younger and still have it sometimes...Always changing while I'm running around in it. Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Blurb:


Cheyenne Loveless was just a boring sixteen-year-old girl. Then Denver Collins bit her and everything changed. Her plants start talking to her, she finds out she’s a Nymph, and a witch and the angel of death show up at her doorstep to take her away to the prestigious Vala School and Seminary. Oh, and she has no choice in the matter.


All she wants to do is blend in and return to being invisible, but the more time that passes, the harder that becomes. Plus she’s a daughter of the Divine, an exclusive secret society which rules the world of myth, and discovers she is a key ingredient to an ancient covenant created before she was born. A covenant that will reshape the order of the world.


Adjusting to a new school is difficult enough, but adding on everyone else’s hidden agendas is the icing on the cake. Cheyenne must learn to see through the lies in order to find her place — and possibly even love — in this new world.

Excerpt:

“Can I help you?” she asked, shielding herself protectively

with her arms.

“Sorry, you smell good,” he murmured, practically purring

in her ear as he pulled away. He still maintained his close

proximity.

“I smell...” She frowned and was about to sniff at her arm,

but she stopped herself. “…good?”

“You smell good. Kind of like lilies of the valley, actually.

Let me guess—you use that for your scented body wash?”

“I just use Dial.” Her entire body tensed more as he moved

in again, his face dangerously close to her neck. “I don’t mean to be

rude, and while I’m flattered you’re so fascinated with my body,

you’re also making me uncomfortable. If you’re just trying to butter

me up so I’ll go home with you, you should stop now, because

that’s not going to happen. Back off before I make you.”

He moved away once more with a smug smirk. “I thought I

smelled fire, too.” He extended his hand to her for a polite and

friendly handshake. “My name is Denver. Yes, like the city in

Colorado. Last name is Collins, and I’m sorry if I made you

uncomfortable. I don’t usually meet someone with that kind of

scent. It’s strong. I knew there was a reason I noticed you.”

Is this guy high or something? “Apology accepted. I'ʹm

Cheyenne. I'ʹve seen you around school these past few weeks, but I

don'ʹt think we'ʹve ever been formally introduced until now. You'ʹre

new, right?” Cheyenne shook his hand nervously. He had a strong

and confident shake. He seemed to be a genuinely nice person,

outside of his odd behaviors. If anything, it made her look good in

front of her classmates to be talking to the new cool kid, and a

young, attractive male. She felt a little less like a freak.

“I'ʹm temporary. I haven'ʹt been formally introduced to

anyone. You'ʹre the first, and it'ʹs only because you smell so nice I

can'ʹt stay away.”

“Do you use that line on everyone? It’s unique. A little

creepy, but unique.”

“No.” He sat back and proceeded to grab a napkin off the

bar and fold it in front of him multiple times. He didn'ʹt have much

of an attention span, apparently. “I actually don’t pick up women

often. I just made an exception for the blue--‐ eyed beauty in front of

me.”

Cheyenne’s face flushed again. “I wasn’t aware you knew

the color of my eyes, seeing as how you’ve been staring at my

breasts the entire time.” It came out a lot harsher than she intended.

In fact, she wasn’t meaning to say it at all. “Sorry, I—”

“You’re right. I was, but I remember you from earlier. I

noticed your eyes when you were looking across the school yard at

me.”

“You do remember that.” She shrank in her chair a little,

officially wanting to hide under a rock.

“It’s a little hard not to when you’re so cute.” He moved

closer to her, not quite as close as before, but enough to cause

butterflies in her stomach. “You don’t like it here. I don’t like it

here. And since we both don’t like it here, maybe we should head

out and find something else to do. Maybe we can go someplace we

both like.”
