Crackles of the Heart: Divergent Ink

Publisher Marketing: Divergent Ink is the mesh of different frames of thoughts, various interpretations of one core question that yearns for universal expansion. Although the subject matter may change every year, the purpose of the Divergent Ink series will remain the same. The first book in the Divergent Ink anthology series, "Crackles of the Heart," centers around the following question: Can the hot, handsome guy fall for the average, awkward woman? Six Divergent Inks exploring "Crackles of the Heart." Will there be hearts rejoicing or hearts breaking? Featuring Da'Kharta Rising: A five word invitation sets the tone for an afternoon journey. Short, provocative connectivity sizzles "Inside Me." Queen of Spades: One look from Her was all it took to put a ladies' man into early retirement. Yet, the very object of his affection has no clue of his reform. When he opts to take a huge gamble, will his fairy tale end happily ever after or be deemed a "Tale in the Keys of Drastic"? Adonis Mann: The dark of night can be more than scary, it can be downright intoxicating. When pleasure meets stupefaction, a man with a secret whirls into rapture at the hands of an unknown force. To which end? Will his secret be revealed, or will he revel in the delight it brings? Nothing is as it seems during the wonderment of "Mystical Nights." Y. Correa: Steampunk Earth, set in the distant future. When an ambitious city guy meets a carefree country lady, what starts out as a getaway to finish an important project turns into a interesting journey. Steam intersects and hearts collide in "The Steam of Opposites." C. Desert Rose: Terah has the misfortune of being given news that puts an expiration date on her life. In her desire to get away from the chaos, she has a chance encounter with the very one that can put the turmoil to rest. Is "Serendipitous Mirth" dumb luck, or preordained destiny? Synful Desire: Bette is a hard working small town woman with simple pleasures. When visually stunning Jesse comes into the store on what's normally her day off, her mind accelerates into complex overdrive. In this small town, a lot can happen in seven days. Will one of those events serve to satisfy Bette's "Seven Days of Stimuli"? Contributor Bio:  Spades, Queen Of Queen of Spades has been writing since the age of eleven.

They call me Desire. I surrender myself to write whatever resides in my mind. More often than not, these things laugh and rebel against what is accepted in society. I like to think there are readers who yearn for something more, whether it be a different twist on an old narrative or advocacy of out the box situations. I've recently been welcomed as part of the All Authors Publishing House family. That is what the organization has felt like to me.
