Tampa Books Examiner Gives Lucid by Debra Glass a 5 Star Review!


"Lucid, is torrid, yes, but very lush, and evocative of the spirit of the Romantic era authors she references within the pages of her story. I half-suspect Lord Byron himself would be tickled with Ms. Glass’ imaginative rendering of him!" ~ Tampa Books Examiner

Watchkeeper by Debra Glass Now Available for Amazon Kindle


Watchkeeper is now available for Amazon Kindle! Click HERE for product information.

Third in the Phantom Lovers series.

When Gwendolyn Wyse booked a room at a bed and breakfast in romantic Charleston, South Carolina, she'd hoped to rekindle the flame in her cold, unresponsive husband. What she didn't expect were divorce papers-or her husband's untimely death.

Shocked and desperate, Gwen relies on her background as a witch and her knowledge of magic, invoking the rite of twilight to bring her husband's soul back from the dead. But nothing prepares her for the swashbuckling spirit who answers her call-Stede Bonnet, the gentleman pirate who died on that very spot three centuries prior and who now possesses her husband's body.

Stede offers Gwen all the passion she never had with her husband. But when the pirate lays claim to her heart, Gwen must choose between the man she loves and the demands of Stede's mortal enemy, a villainous spirit with the power to take away everything Gwen holds most dear-including her pirate lover.

Blurb:

Once renowned for training frigid wives and shy mistresses in the art of love making, Thomas Collins has been approached by the Duke of Wallingford to train his bashful fiancée. The Duke has but one request. Thomas is to save the her maidenhood for him.

Much to an unwitting Catherine's surprise, she finds herself blindfolded and bound to a bed, bound to a stranger she knows only by touch and bound for the love of a lifetime.

But when Thomas sets out to train Catherine to respond to any and everything the sadistic Duke might have in store for her, he discovers he must employ every ounce of restraint he possesses to keep from bedding the lovely captive who has stolen his heart.

Book Dedications by Debra Glass

Dedicating a book seemed simple to me at first. I thought of my elementary school friend, Karen, who co-wrote countless tales with me from 5th grade on, the historical figures who've inspired my stories, and especially my adorable and supportive husband, Timm, without whose support, I wouldn't be doing this.

Stephen King said a writer who dedicates a book to a spouse has a spouse who "gets it." Timm may not have a handle on the intricacies of the publishing world but he definitely gets it. :-) (not to mention his invaluable help in the research and development department.)

I was touched that I could dedicate my 2009 CAPA Nominee, Bought and Paid For, to my feisty romance reading granny who learned I'd dedicated the book to her a few days before she passed away last year.

I've dedicated a book to my forum family, The Black Sheep. I've dedicated books to friends who've helped me with story ideas and research - Heath Mathews, one of my best friends and a cracker-jack military historian, and Elissa and Amy who helped me tremendously with my Wiccan heroine in Watchkeeper.

I'm even one of those lucky writers who has a dedication worthy editor, or two, or three. The help and support of an editor who understands and believes in what you're doing, will really make your stories shine.

And there are those friends who have dedications to come! (I've just been waiting for the perfect book for you, Stormy. How about Rebel Rose? Crossing my fingers here for a contract, soon.)

At first, I thought dedicating a book would be easy. It's not.

Who inspires you? To whom would you (or have you) dedicate(d) a book?
