THE WHIP IT GOOD BLOGFEST

 Elise Fallson and D.L. Hammond are putting together 

The Wip It Good Blogfest!

On Friday, May 31st, they are providing the forum for bloggers to present their [W]ork [I]n [P]rogress through the World Wide Web. They have provided a few prompts to answer in your post, and even give you the opportunity to solicit CP’s (partners who exchange material for detail critique – usually chapter by chapter) or Beta Readers (test readers who read entire manuscripts and offer broad opinions) if you’re looking for this type of opportunity. 

Well at the moment I am working on three WIP's, the first is a new Sci-fi I am playing with, the second another Vampire tale and the third is the third installment of The Protector Series!

So, I thought I would introduce you to all three works, I hope I am not asking too much.

Below are the prompts Elise and Tbone want participants to follow:

With their advanced technology, magical powers and formidable strength, they seem to be fighting a loosing battle against the invaders. 

One Mist Warrior may hold the key to changing the future for Sandy and planet Earth, but whether Sandy trusts him enough to follow his path and stop the suffering, is something she can only decide.

The paranormal vampire series, The Protectors, is continued in this third book with a new race of vampire from another realm.

Tension, mistrust and insecurities are overcome when two young people find an attachment to one another and the two races unite in battle.

This is the third installment of The Protector Series, continuing  Jazz and Sebastian's story as they battle to save Aidensdein from the attacking Horde. Their numbers dwindling, the people of Aidensdein seem to be fighting a loosing battle, leading them to beg for help from a second neighbouring race of vampires... The Delpheen.

Unlike other vampires, these beings communicate telepathically and use their minds to draw sustenance from the emotions of those around them. Taking what they can, without any thought of the consequences of others.

Jazz and Sebastian need to tread cautiously as they try to create a bond between the albino like Delpheen and the people of Aidensdein, placing their hopes on a united front to battle and defeat the attacking Horde.
