Today is Friday the 13th, a day some people consider to be ‘bad luck.’
One of my loved ones was born on a 13th so I have a very different view of the day. The day she was born was a very lucky day for me.
I DO hold other superstitions.
I consider ladybugs to be good luck. Being from the farm, I know ladybugs eat some insects that are harmful to crops.
I ‘knock on wood’ after I say something is going well. This reminds me that things might change and I should be grateful for the current state.
I NEED to see the Dear Wonderful Hubby off, giving him a kiss and a wave, whenever he leaves the house. If I don’t do this, I feel…unsettled until he returns. I worry that it might be the last time I ever see him. Danielle has the same superstition in the movie Ever After. Her stepmother and stepsisters don’t follow it when her father leaves and well, we all know what happens to Cinderella’s father.
I don’t like to leave cook time on the microwave. I heard when I was a kid that if the microwave is stopped before the set time and that time is left on it, it could turn on and blow up. There’s no science to this. I know this is a myth. (sheepish grin) Yet I still have to delete the remaining time.
What are some superstitions you hold?

Warlord’s Return
Ariq is a barbarian warrior seeking a war.
He locates that battle when he meets Xareni.
* * *
Ariq is one of Chamele’s top warriors. A genetic predisposition to fighting, paired with intensive training and experience, has honed the scarred male into an effective killing machine. He loves war, can’t live without combat.
The Succession Wars, however, have finally ended and the Chamele sector is now at peace. Seeking excitement and purpose, the barbarian warrior accompanies his Second to the Refuge, an outlaw settlement on Carinae E. He hopes to locate the battle he’s been craving there.
Ariq finds that conflict and more when he meets his fated mate.
Xareni owes the Ruler of the Refuge a favor. That’s the only reason she has returned to the settlement. She doesn’t like crowds or structures or a certain barbarian warrior who insists on following her everywhere. It doesn’t matter that there’s a connection between them, that he makes her burn with desire, that he looks at her with heat in his dark eyes.
She’s a monster and monsters don’t need anyone.

Warlord’s Return is a STANDALONE Alien Barbarian SciFi Romance featuring a determined barbarian warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an eyeball-eating mini dragon.
