My name is Eve A. James and I am a member of Romance Writers of America. Writing for young adults is my passion, especially when I can combine it with my love for paranormal. I can’t imagine anything more exciting than a place where an ordinary girl or a boy finds its rightful place among the gifted, immortal or heavenly creatures, where falling in love for the first time, discovering who you really are, is just a beginning.As a child, I was fascinated by fairy tales by Grimm brothers and Hans Christian Andersen, with their dark twists and universal truth that good always trumps evil. Influenced by a strong hero’s character from those stories she started writing tales where an ordinary person could do extraordinary things. Writing has turned into a passion that I admit I am too weak to resist.I treasure a good story that pulls me inside and allows me to walk the path alongside my favorite characters.

Shivering from the cool night air that seems to penetrate all the way to my bones I try to think. My name is… well I don’t know what my name is, but somehow that does not seem to matter, or scare me. Moving past what I don’t know, I am concentrating on what I do know, when a strong feeling everything will be alright comes over me.

You are awake, an unfamiliar, heavily accented voice penetrates the gray fog surrounding me. Blinking rapidly, I am trying to find its source. A shape of a man sitting on the ground comes into focus. The fog moves away from him and I can see him clearly. His top hat is pulled low and a cascade of dreadlocks in every shade of brown, rain over his shoulders. His mouth is too full to be sexy, his nose too wide to be beautiful, his eyes too large for his angular face, and yet when he speaks and I see his face come to life, I can’t help but to think of him as handsome.
