I quickly opened the car door and helped him onto the street. \u201cI am&nbsp;perfectly clear on what is going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Max said a few lines in Italian. Gabriel smiled and replied. I didn\u2019t know what they said, but it seemed important.&nbsp;The look Max gave me before driving away was unreadable, but it was clear that our relationship hinged on how&nbsp;the night ended.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-HMP18r5rArM\/T24opGZptmI\/AAAAAAAABgg\/puWHr_67HAA\/s1600\/arileyflashofthefirefly.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-HMP18r5rArM\/T24opGZptmI\/AAAAAAAABgg\/puWHr_67HAA\/s1600\/arileyflashofthefirefly.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<br \/>Amber Riley has enjoyed writing short stories since childhood and is<br \/>happiest with a cat in her lap.

I know that it was harder<br \/>than I ever thought it would be. When I was about half way finished with the first draft of The Land<br \/>of Tears, I found out my husband and I were expecting our first child. On top of that, my husband got<br \/>orders sending us to Germany for three years. So, at four months pregnant, I moved half way across the<br \/>world, with the manuscript still only half completed. I have no idea how I only managed to squeeze out<br \/>about one chapter in those four months. I actually don\u2019t remember much about my first trimester at all<br \/>as I slept it away.<br \/>The whirlwind of moving didn\u2019t settle down until well into September \u2013 almost three months<br \/>later. That was when my belongings finally arrived and I could unpack. Of course, this was at the same<br \/>time that my husband was sent on a mini-deployment and I was completely on my own. In those few<br \/>weeks after I unpacked and he returned, I did manage to almost complete the first draft.<br \/>The last few chapters were difficult to work on at all. I was juggling cooking, cleaning, doctor<br \/>appointments, and all those other little things that have to get done every day. Luckily, I found enough<br \/>free moments to get it finished before my son was born.<br \/>That was when the real challenge started. Being a first time mom is hard. Being a first time mom<br \/>in a foreign country with no friends or family was the near death of me. On top of all the cooking and<br \/>cleaning, I had all the baby things to do. And, as every mother knows, with little sleep. Whenever I stole<br \/>a few minutes to work on editing The Land of Tears, I felt like I was neglecting my husband.<br \/>But, I am lucky enough to have married an incredibly supportive man. He took over baby duty<br \/>after work and never complained that I was paying more attention to a Word document than him. With<br \/>my new routine established, the editing was finished faster than I ever expected. I just had to get used<br \/>to writing on a schedule instead of when the motivation hit.<br \/>It took a lot longer than I hoped for the third Kindred Blood novel to be released, but it gave me<br \/>a difference sense of accomplishment. As hard as it was, my passion for writing pulled me through to<br \/>the end.<\/p>\n<p>VBT Schedule &#8211; The Flash of a Firefly (Book 1)<br \/>Apr 2: ReadingDiva&#8217;s Blog (Giveaway\/Interview)<br \/>Apr 3: Aine P Massie (Review)<br \/>Apr 4: She Who Blogs Behind The Rows (Giveaway\/Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 5: Coffee Beans &amp; Love Scenes (Giveaway)<br \/>Apr 6: More from Mom (Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 7: The Bornean Bookworm (Giveaway\/Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 8: Krazy Book Lady (Interview)<br \/>Apr 9: Literati Shuffle (Giveaway\/Review)<br \/>Apr 10: TBD<br \/>Apr 11: Imogene Nix (Giveaway\/Guest Post)<\/p>\n<p>VBT Schedule &#8211; The Well of Truth (Book 2)<br \/>Apr 12: Coffee Beans &amp; Love Scenes (Giveaway)<br \/>Apr 13: More from Mom (Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 14: The Bornean Bookworm (Giveaway\/Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 15: Krazy Book Lady (Giveaway\/Interview)<br \/>Apr 16: ReadingDiva&#8217;s Blog (Interview)<br \/>Apr 17: She Who Blogs Behind The Rows (Giveaway\/Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 18: Full Moon Bites (Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 19: Literati Shuffle (Giveaway\/Review)<br \/>Apr 20: Sapphyria&#8217;s Book Reviews (Review)<br \/>Apr 21: Bookin&#8217; It Reviews (Giveaway\/Guest Post)<\/p>\n<p>VBT Schedule &#8211; The Land of Tears (Book 3)<br \/>Apr 22: Krazy Book Lady (Giveaway\/Interview)<br \/>Apr 23: More from Mom (Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 24: Coffee Beans &amp; Love Scenes (Giveaway)<br \/>Apr 25: Full Moon Bites (Giveaway\/Guest Post)<br \/>Apr 26: I Just Wanna Sit Here and Read!
