TJ Young & The Orishas Book 1
by Antoine Bandele
Genre: YA Contemporary Fantasy
TJ Young has been surrounded by magic his entire life, yet he has never tapped into it… until now.
Fourteen-year-old TJ grew up normal in a secret community of gifted diviners in the heart of modern-day Los Angeles. His powerful sister was ordained to lead his people into a new age of prosperity, but her mysterious death in Nigeria threatens to destroy the very foundations of TJ’s world.
Desperate to pick up where his sister left off and uncover the secrets behind her questionable death, TJ commits himself to unlocking the magical heritage that has always eluded him. So he enrolls in Camp Olosa—a remedial magic school for the divinely less-than-gifted in the humid swamps of New Orleans.
But little does he know, TJ is destined to cross paths with powerful spirits of old thought lost to time: the Orishas.
Delve into this young adult fantasy based on the mythology of the West African gods, where TJ will encounter unlikely allies, tough-as-gatorhide instructors, and the ancient secrets of the Orishas.

Here’s an excerpt!
The small stone building came into view, and Jashik glanced at me before his wings beat even stronger. We flew as we never had before, as free beings.
“It’s beautiful,” I sighed as I touched down close to the ancient dwelling.
“I’m not sure about that. But we can make it livable.”
“We can.” I walked through the crumbling doorway and was happy to see it at least had a roof over it. At least in this part of the structure. “What do you think it was?”
“An abbey, or maybe a small church. It’s so remote there’s really no way of knowing. Does it matter?”
“I like the idea of it being a church. We watched over one for so long as stone. There’s something poetic about us living in flesh in this one.”
“Maybe it was just a farmer’s house.” Jashik smiled as he spoke and walked around the small room we’d walked into. It was nearly barren; all that remained were a few chairs and an old stove for heating.
“Maybe, but I like the other idea better.” I glanced around and imagined all we’d need to do to make it livable.
Jashik walked closer to me and cupped my jaw with his strong hand. “I like whatever makes you happy. I’ve never seen the light in your eyes I see today.”
“You make me very happy, and I don’t want to keep pretending it’s not true.” I reached for his cheek and pulled him to me, our lips met, and a bolt of emotion flooded my senses. Making me feel weak and strong both at the same time. Jashik leaned back but held the tops of my arms.
“What was that?” He brushed his fingertips along his lips with a look of awe.
“I’m not sure, but I never want to lose that feeling again.” I tugged him in for another kiss and he drew me just as tight to him. How had we existed without knowing this growing warmth?
“Aasim,” he gasped out as we pulled apart and he rested his forehead against mine. “You are all I want.”
“And you are all I will ever need.”
He smiled then and shifted enough to meet my eyes. “I cannot wait to spend the rest of our days together, but if we want to have a place to rest and eat, we’ll need to get busy.”
*All three books center around gargoyles who have been brought to life to serve as guardians. Their lives of service change when they are given the opportunity to love. Each book can be read as a standalone but there are elements in the books that tie them together.
Stone Under Skin: Ankit and his fated mate Ethan, a human descended from elves.
Blood Beneath Stone: Petro and his fated mate Keir, a vampire and sworn enemy of the guardians.
Stone Hearts: Jashik and Aasim, both guardians who have no fated mate but find love together.*

Should I risk my heart again on another rockstar?
Or just walk away while I still can?

She adores dressing up and kicking back, a glass of whiskey with an equally stunning view, and experiences that make the soul—and senses—tingle.

BLURB
With little more going for me than a lenient judge who assigned community service hours instead of jail, I had to get my life under control.
That meant distancing myself from friends who weren’t ready to come clean.
Fulfilling the mandated service hours at the animal shelter occupied my spare time and gave me a sense of purpose—a belief that I could do good in the world. And while the pseudo-friendship I’d developed with the shelter Director helped, it didn’t fill my loneliness.
Because my life options rarely presented themselves in a timely or convenient manner, I found myself torn between two dating prospects. One had pulled himself up from a sordid past, just as I was trying to do. He offered comfort and understanding, and didn’t balk at being my first ever committed, exclusive relationship.
The other guy made my heart happy, my legs weak, and elicited a flurry of sexual thoughts, but came along one commitment too late. Or were those the reactions of my usual non-committal self, believing the grass was always greener on the other side?
The more I learned about the new people in my life, the more I learned that first impressions shouldn’t always be trusted.
Everyone had a past.
Everyone had a mission.
And like usual, luck wasn’t on my side.
Untangling the good from the bad could mean risking everything.
But for once, I wasn’t only worried about myself. The result of my actions could bring harm to the closest person I had to a friend, the Director of the animal shelter, and her ridiculous pet goat.
Could my past prove useful for unraveling the deceit and lies crafted by the man I’d let into my heart? And would my actions ruin the best chance I’d ever had at finding true love?
Doing the right thing wasn’t my forte, but there was no time left to sort out my options.
Persistent Protector is a steamy insta-love romantic suspense inspired by Cocky Bastard.

EARLY REVIEWS FOR
PERSISTENT PROTECTOR
“…a fun read with a little twist of suspense.”
“From the moment Grant comes into the picture you’ll be rooting for him.”
“This book takes a twist you don’t quite see coming. It will have you turning the pages wanting to know what’s going to happen next. I enjoyed this quick read and how it intertwined with the original series.”
“An enjoyable fast-paced book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. “
“Y’all are just gonna have to read this awesome book to find out allll the things!!! “
“This book was delightful and it didn’t disappoint. “
Barbra Campbell writes dirty-sweet romance because she gets a kick out of helping couples overcome problems as they fall in love, even if it’s her fault they have problems in the first place.
After pursuing degrees in Genetics for nearly a decade, she realized the ‘chemistry’ of romance was a lot more fun to write about than the biochemistry of how our bodies work. She shared her stories with the world, was a finalist in a bunch of romance contests, and traded her lab coat for a laptop.
All of this was done with her college sweetheart by her side. He helps her pursue the HEA on a daily basis, even when she has her mind on sexy book boyfriends and cover models.
When Barbra’s not writing, she’s likely to be taking a walk, petting one or more of her many animals, or playing the cello! Visit BarbraCampbell.com for more.
