In the early twenty-first century, the world is a darker place where international superpowers tenuously jockey for both political and economic supremacy. It’s a time when the rights and interests of the individual carry little weight. But a medical breakthrough spontaneously blossoms telekinetic abilities within the body of one man, altering humanity’s evolution and threatening to tip the world’s balance of power.

That man is Logan Bringer.

When humankind’s greatest achievement leads to a race for its control, some will bring political and economic powers to bear. Others unleash an array of assassins and weaponry. However, when an assassin directly threatens Logan’s family, Logan unleashes himself.

He is…the Bringer of Fire.

Now I am gonna hand over the blog to Jaz:

Welcome to Psychic Abilities Day, everyone! What are you doing today for that special psychic abilities-gifted person in your life?

Okay, so maybe there’s not actually an official Psychic Abilities Day on the calendar. And you probably won’t find a section of cards at your local Hallmark Gift Shop that commemorates such an event. At least, not today.

But what about tomorrow?

What would the world be like if a newly-discovered drug could open up pathways in the brain that permitted access to psychic powers? Would fear rule the day? How about greed? Would the government try to secure the abilities for its own clandestine use, or would only the wealthy people in the world have access to it? What if there was a black market for the drug, or worse yet, crime syndicates that vied for control of such drugs? Better yet, what if international corporations held exclusive control over it?

I could see a world in chaos under any one, or many, of those scenarios.

Ah, but the question of the day is: which ability would you want to have? Would you want pyrokenisis, the ability to spontaneously ignite a flame? How about telekinesis, the ability to move objects with your mind? Would you want to be a sensitive who could divine the thoughts and emotions of others? Well, I don’t know about you, but being sensitive sounds pretty handy. I’d definitely want the ability to read minds. That would be totally awesome!

Hmmm…or would it?

Could I actually handle knowing the “truth” about what people around me were really thinking? It’s possible that those seemingly harmless “little white lies” we all tell from time to time could feel pretty hurtful if the truth were known. Okay, so maybe a friend might not actually like my new haircut as much as they were telling me they did. And perhaps my neighbor only “acted” happy for me when I told him about my latest novel, but then I discovered that he secretly vowed never to read anything that I wrote because he hated genre fiction.

*gasp*

Or, worse yet, could I handle knowing that my wife really didn’t just experience the best sex of her life with me last night like she said she had?!

*Memories from the film “What Women Want” come to mind*

Crap…maybe I want to be able to telekinetically move objects around instead.

Get a grip, Jaz…

Yeah. Let’s return to my earlier question. What would the world be like if a new drug permitted access to psychic powers? Well, fortunately for you, I have the perfect novel in mind (pun intended) that can answer that question! My latest novel was just released today: Bringer of Fire. It’s the first novel in my new Logan Bringer urban fantasy series, and I can’t wait for you to check it out!

I know you’re going to love Logan Bringer. He’s a kick-ass alpha male with a sharp wit and a new lease on life; an ex-Special Forces soldier who’s been recovering from his fight against brain cancer. His life takes a dramatic turn when the experimental cancer treatment he’s been taking has conjured telekinetic abilities in him, and he’s unwittingly become embroiled in a terrorist plot of global proportion. What’s more, his family’s safety has been threatened and time’s running out as he juggles suspicious FBI agents, clandestine terrorists, and his own body’s still-burgeoning abilities. Add to that, he’s starting to catch the attention of other government agencies. Throw into the mix two intelligent and alluring ladies with their sights on Logan, a federal agent with an attitude and a charming physician with a secret, and you’re got an action-packed storyline where figuring out who can be trusted is as challenging as guessing the guessing the odds on the Vegas Strip.

Trust me; you’re going to want to read Bringer of Fire!

Here’s the blurb from the back cover:

In the early twenty-first century, the world is a darker place where international superpowers tenuously jockey for both political and economic supremacy. It’s a time when the rights and interests of the individual carry little weight. But a medical breakthrough spontaneously blossoms telekinetic abilities within the body of one man, altering humanity’s evolution and threatening to tip the world’s balance of power.

That man is Logan Bringer.

When humankind’s greatest achievement leads to a race for its control, some will bring political and economic powers to bear. Others unleash an array of assassins and weaponry. However, when an assassin directly threatens Logan’s family, Logan unleashes himself.

He is…the Bringer of Fire.
