Favorite Quote Friday—Phantom Embrace

Happy Friday!  I hope you all had a nice week.  We're being bombarded by storms again, so I'll be staying indoors and getting lots of work done this weekend.  :-)

Did you know you can now follow me on BookBub?  When you do, BookBub will alert you to my New Releases and Sales.  If you'd like to check it out, here's a link to My Profile.

“Duvall's hauntingly beautiful novella, set in the world of the Immortal Guardians, portrays the deep love between two people who can never touch, with a wonderfully unexpected ending.”

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  Only a month to go until the release of Phantom Embrace, my Immortal Guardians novella that revolves around Yuri (a powerful immortal who spends his nights hunting psychotic vampires) and Catherine (a two-century-old ghost).  It was previously published in the On the Hunt anthology, and is making its solo debut.  :-)  So today I will share a quote from it that features the hero and heroine:

She lowered her head and wished she could rest it upon his chest, feel his heart beating beneath her ear. 

“How I wish I could hold you in my arms,” he murmured. 

The words mirrored her thoughts so closely he might as well have read her mind. “As do I.”

Have a wonderful weekend!  And stay safe if you're in the path of the storms!

It’s time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  Since my news this week is all Phantom Embrace related . . . and since it's getting closer and closer to the June 28th release date . . . I thought I would give you a quote from it today.  This scene features Yuri (the hero) and a fellow Immortal Guardian, Marcus (the hero of Night Reigns).

Marcus headed for the door and gripped the knob, but didn’t turn it. A minute passed, during which he seemed to debate over whether or not he wanted to say something more. “I understand, you know,” he murmured and looked at Yuri over his shoulder. 

Yuri frowned. “Understand what?” His concern for Cat? 

“The position you’re in. I can empathize,” the elder immortal said. “I loved a woman I couldn’t have for eight hundred years before I met Ami.” 

Yuri had almost forgotten Marcus’s peculiar history. 

“At least the woman you love can love you back.” 

 Have a wonderful weekend!

Favorite Quote Friday #104

Happy Friday the 13th!  Though I shall endeavor to resist, I suspect I will—as usual—be lured into watching another Friday the 13th marathon tonight.  This picture of Jason reminds me of the time I crawled out of a moonlit grave and wielded a machete as big as his in an independent film.

Good times.  Good times.  ;-)

I have cool news to share.  The prestigious Kirkus Reviews gave Shadows Strike, my latest Immortal Guardians book, a fantastic review:

“This series boasts numerous characters, a deep back story, and extensive worldbuilding. Duvall cleverly uses Heather’s presence as a way to easily introduce new readers to the fictional world, as other characters explain things to her. She’s a capable protagonist, never falling into the tedious role of damsel in distress. Ethan will seem familiar to sci-fi and fantasy fans, as he boasts the glowing charms of Twilight’s Edward Cullen and the vicious durability of the X-Men’s Wolverine . . . A nice entry point to an expansive saga.”

Since Wolverine is my favorite X-Men character, I'm very pleased.  And it was nice to know the reviewer thought this book would be an easy place for new readers to jump into the series.  :-)  You can read the full review HERE.

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! Since Shadows Strike brought me good news, I thought I would share a quote from it today.  This scene takes place very early in the book and features Ethan and Heather, the hero and heroine.  :-)

“If you aren’t a precog, why did you look so uneasy when I suggested you were different from other humans?” He heard her heart begin to pound as a spark of fear entered her lovely brown eyes. “Do you possess other gifts or abilities?” 

She remained silent. 

“It’s okay, Heather,” he assured her.  “You can tell me.  I’m different, too.” 

Her lips twitched.  “The fangs, glowing eyes, and super speed kinda clued me in to that.” 

Ethan laughed, ignoring the pain that shot through his back. He really liked this woman. 

Have a wonderful weekend!!
