    Excerpt #3: Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic Series: Book 1)

    June 14, 2019 /

    Last week, I shared a bit of the prologue, from Cassie’s point of view in 1974. In today’s excerpt, we fast-forward to 2019 and shift to Nick’s perspective. Without further ado, here’s a bit of Nick’s first scene from Chapter 1: Excerpt from Tangled Roots, Chapter 1 The scent of rain hung heavy on the air. I leaned against the porch rail and took another swig of my iced tea. Though I’d worked since the morning on the farm, the tension in my neck wasn’t from hard labor. I was twenty-three, and plenty of years before farm work hadn’t yet left me with arthritis like Gran. It wasn’t my body…

    Excerpt #2: Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic #1)

    June 7, 2019 /

    Last week I shared the first half of this scene from my new-adult paranormal romance release, Tangled Roots. In that scene, Cassie asks the Guardian of Willow Creek, Virginia’s magic to grant her a favor. (I know, immortal being who’s the keeper of magic. What could go wrong, right?) Here’s the rest of that scene, in which we find out whether the Guardian grants Cassie’s request. And what price she might pay. Enjoy! Excerpt: Tangled Roots (Prologue) The spell was over, the magic cast. What had I done wrong? Why hadn’t she saved me? Why couldn’t I run? Ginny got in Nathan’s path, blocking him. She was tall for a…

    Excerpt #1: Tangled Roots (Tangled Magic #1)

    May 31, 2019 /

    Today, I’m sharing an excerpt from my latest release, Tangled Roots, the first book in my Tangled Magic Series. Follow the witches of the Willow Creek Coven as they battle shadowy magical forces, find love, and embrace new beginnings. In this scene, from the opening of Tangled Roots, Cassie enters the forest to cast a spell to keep her brother, Nathan, from finding her. She hopes to entreat the Guardian of Willow Creek’s magic to shield her from her brother. As Once Upon a Time’s Rumpelstiltskin says, “All magic comes with a price, dearie.” The question is, what price will Cassie pay? Tangled Roots: Excerpt (Prologue) Torches’ flames danced. Quartz…

About

I'm Denise D. Young. I write fantasy and romance, read tarot cards, and wander forests in search of portals to the faerie realm (so far, no luck!). My debut release, TANGLED ROOTS, is now available (expect wild magic, powerful witches, and weak-in-the-knees romance).
