EXERPT

...Searing, damp stones press into my cheek, squishing my other eye closed. I sit up, wiping the nasty grime off my face. The slickness of it makes me wince. God knows what it is. I try to take a deep breath, but fail. Breathing is a chore in the dense, blistering air. It feels like I'm inhaling globs of boiling water. I stand, allowing my limbs time to regain their balance. Suddenly, I'm running down a passageway without any light to guide me... Thousands of butterflies take flight in my stomach as a current of air swiftly engulfs me. I'm falling at a high rate of speed, like the dip in a roller coaster, minus the excitement and safety harnesses. I try to scream, but panic hijacks my voice. I hit the bottom hard, miraculously unscathed.

I stand, wiping a sticky substance off my jeans. I try not to dwell on it. Lifting my arms, I extend them in front of me, searching for a doorway. My hands grope over the hundreds of clammy bricks surrounding me like the bottom of a well. In the loud silence, I hear my name, but Janie isn’t calling me. This voice is lower than a whisper, almost inaudible. Am I losing my mind? Confinement in closed quarters and pitch-black darkness have been known to do that. Again, I hear my name... Anna... It echoes off the tightly enclosed walls, and smacks my ears. It grows louder before abruptly stopping. A velvet voice soothes my sore ears, but makes me jump backwards. The back of my head rams the wall, forcing me to slink onto the ground. My muscles tense and my entire body begins to throb. I prop myself against the bricks, hoping it will cease. I attempt to fold my legs into my chest, but they rebel in pain. I focus my thoughts on survival, rather than the insects I know must be blanketing the ground...

DESCRIPTION

Two worlds in danger. 

A Grand Witch behind bars. 

A stunning Werewolf and a devilishly handsome Warlock’s pursuit for her affections. 

You think you have it bad? Grand Witch Anna Wolfe awakens to find herself imprisoned by Micah, the Prince of Darkness. Micah’s on a quest for world domination—and it’s not just the Netherworld that’s in danger. The human world is threatened as well. Now, it’s up to Anna to escape from Micah's clutches so she can locate The Scholars and an ancient book before both fall into the wrong hands. 

With a fiercely loyal Werewolf and immensely powerful Warlock by her side, what can go wrong? 

A lot apparently. 

If fighting off the Prince of Darkness wasn’t enough, Anna’s emotions are a whirlwind, as she battles between what fate demands and what she actually wants.

EXERPT

...His magic continues its course through me, draining all of mine. I need to resist... to fight him. I have to do something before he has the chance to completely snuff me out or find The Scholars. My jaw clenches and my hands roll into tight balls. My shoulders tense, preparing myself for the upcoming battle. I focus all of my energy into stopping him. Bit by bit, my magic shoves its way past his like a bully on a schoolyard. His grip stiffens. A trickle of blood glides down the side of my forearm from his piercing fingernails.

“Go ahead, Anna, fight me. I guarantee it will only hurt you more.”

I throw every memory and emotion Micah has created or tarnished, tossing them into the raging furnace of hate burning inside of me. I slam my eyelids shut and Valen’s face pops inside my head. I need to get back to him. I squeeze my eyes tightly, channeling all the vigor I have, hoping to push Micah out. A fissure breaks right down the middle of his magic, allowing mine to explode to the surface. I feel his power retreat as mine conquers his. I flip my eyes open, stealing a glimpse of his face...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I was born in Philadelphia, PA and grew up in the suburban outskirts of this amazing city. I love anything paranormal and/or supernatural - seriously I live in Philadelphia! For those of you who don’t know, this city is an awesomely haunted place! This healthy paranormal addiction has provided me the motivation to write my first book, “I’ll Be Damned.”

I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and I'm currently working on the Anna Wolfe Series.

Interview:

Please welcome author of The Anna Wolfe Series Casey Keen!

How long did it take you to write Saved by the Spell?

Saved by the Spell only took me six months to finish! I found it a lot easier than I'll Be Damned since it was a continuation.

If you were stranded on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side?

If I were stranded on an island, I would choose Anna! She's a powerful witch, powerful enough to transport us back to civilization or at least build us a house.  

If you could be best friends with one of your characters, who would it be?

Martello hands down. I love his character development throughout the series. He is someone who would tell me I look fat in a dress! He's also proven to be a supportive and non-judgmental friend, which is important.

What inspired you to write your first book?

After reading H.P. Mallory's series, I discovered that she started as a self-published author (I didn't think it was possible). I dug around Amazon and found that self-publishing is actually easy! Since I've always enjoyed writing, I decided to give it a shot. 

What do you prefer paperback, hardcover, or ebooks? 

That's a tossup! I will always love paperbacks, but ebooks have become far more convenient and most used.

Anna Wolfe Series Survival Guide:

Werewolves, vampires, angels... the list is endless! The Anna Wolfe Series is filled with paranormal threats... so, what if all-hell were to break loose... how does one survive in this world of celestial beings? First off, if you don't have any awesome, supernatural powers, your chance of dying just tripled. The only advice I have for the layman, is to seek shelter with those who do!

Vampires

We've all seen the movies, read the stories... and no, they don't twinkle or bat their full eyelashes. They are mean, people-eating machines. Other than a good-old-fashioned stake through the heart, their weakness is magic. Magical spells - both used as defense and/or offense - aids in protecting one's neck so to speak. If you're unlucky enough to encounter a fangsy, drive a stake through its heart or cast a protection spell.

Werewolves

Another species highly misunderstood. Yes, they look cuddly but in reality, they are dangerous, uncontrollable beings. Weres shift on full moons, whether they want to or not. So? They're still human inside... right? Werewolves are serious. In their wolf form, they are animals - raw, territorial, hungry animals at that. Their weakness? Wolfsbane, magic and silver (at least the movies got this part right). What happens if you run into one? Make sure to aim for their heart, you won't get a second chance.

Witches & Warlocks

Out of all the paranormal creatures, witches are a challenge to kill. Witches (male & female) can control elements, people, reasoning, etc. An extensive laundry list of spells waits patiently in their arsenal, allowing them to fully control their environments. Sounds to me like they're impenetrable? Not true. Witches have a few weaknesses, from owning a familiar to protecting an object. When witch hunting, make sure to do your research first before coming face to face with one.

Angels

One of the most elusive and mysterious beings in the supernatural realm, angels have been an enigma for centuries. There are various types, fallen, good, servants, etc. Most angels have charges. Charges are people they must protect. If one of their charges were to die (suicide or lack of luck), then the angel's powers will be revoked. If that isn't bad enough, they would be born again as a mortal. Sound cool? It probably isn't. After having divine power run through your veins, the idea of being mortal sounds a little lackluster. Other than charges, angels are the hardest to kill if you can even find them.

So, now you know each creature's weakness. It's time to utilize this knowledge and prepare. Let's look at the snapshot below:

Supernatural Survival Guide:

1. Magical powers are a must (if you don't have any, find someone who does)
2. Practice makes perfect. Your talents need to be on point
3. Team up with some bad-ass supernaturals
4. Think before you act. Even the greatest of heroes have a well-thought out plan
5. Carry wolfsbane and silver in case of werewolf contact
6. Find the witches' weakness, then destroy it before they destroy you
7. Wooden stake for the vampires (or magic if you have it)
8. Run like hell if you encounter an angel. Chances are you're already marked
