Lisa Renee Jones and THE LEGEND OF MICHAEL

May 1, 2011 by lillie80

HE IS A LETHAL WEAPON…

One of an army of human soldiers injected with alien DNA, Michael is a legend within this new race, split between good and evil. Untamable, he has walked on the dark side and returned to the light. Feared and misunderstood, he leaves everything behind, including the one woman destined to be his mate.

HE IS HER ENEMY…AND HER DESTINY…

Fate leads Michael back to Cassandra Powell, for she holds the key to defending his comrades. With their loyalties divided between duty and the people they love, only together can Cassandra and Michael overcome insurmountable odds to save humanity from the wrath of a madman.

But no ordinary woman can control a creature such as Michael, and only one thing is clear—the world will never be the same…

**~~~*~**

Thank you for having me today. Today is special because is RELEASE DAY! LEGEND OF MICHAEL is official OUT! I can’t believe it. Finally, Michael is here.

Legend of Michael is book one in a series about soldiers who were told they were getting immunizations and they instead received alien DNA. They become Super Soldiers. But some of these soldiers want to rule the world, they see themselves as evolution.

Part one of the book is an extended prologue meant to set up the entire series. You see the hero and heroine start to date and begin to fall in love but something big happens …… Part One ends with a bang when it does.

Part two — two years later. Michael has some transformations that make him believe he is evil. He already feels dark and damaged so add these transformations, and some events that make the woman he loves — who is now in danger — doubt he’s trustworthy, and its a rocky road filled with danger and heart ache.

Book two is Sterling’s story who you meet in book one.

Book three is Damion’s story who you really get to know in book two.

All three books are written. Will there be more? I hope so!

It all depends on how these first couple books sell. Fingers crossed well!:)

I have a gift to my readers. YEARS ago I wrote a series called THE UNDERGROUND GUARDIANS. That series inspired the Zodius series. The premise is similar, but years later, as a more mature write, I saw the vision differently, and thus – THE ZODIUS SERIES and LEGENED OF MICHAEL – took form. I thought it would be fun to let readers see the early writer’s visions. A FREE copy of PROTECTOR, the first Guardian book, is at Smashwords now. You can get Protector and book two – Healer – for 99 cents as well at Kindle and Barnes and Noble NOOK. Those sites wouldn’t let me put Protector up for free or I would have. Of course, I think my craft has changed since writing those books, but I had a lot of passion that was raw and shows through in a good way. I hope you will enjoy the free read!

I have link HERE for all of the sites where you can get these books:

And another perk to readers – contact me at lisarenjones@aol.com and the first 40 people who sign up to go out in their city and request Michael with booksellers, will get a signed copy of the entire HOTZONE TRILOGY from Blaze. These are military heroes just like the Zodius book, minus the paranormal aspect.

Today I am giving away a copy of LEGEND OF MICHAEL to one commenter. All you have to do is just say hello. Tell me about yourself. Tell me if you watched the royal wedding? I fell asleep an hour before it. I couldn’t help it. Darn it. Now I’m watching it on DVR as I type this post.

I missed it. I had to go shopping, and do errands. I am now catching bits and pieces of it. I think Kate looked really happy. I hope everything goes well for the two of them.

I haven’t been sleeping to well so I was actually awake at the unearthly hour the wedding was on, so I watched it. It was a beautiful affair. Although the devastation in the South certainly takes away from the joy of the week. Prayers to all affected by these horrible storms.

Hi,
Just stopping by to say “Hello” before I start preparing our Sunday dinner of Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding and all the trimmings.

I’ve watched the Royal wedding three times. I was up bright and early at 5 am and knew that I would want to watch it over and over so, dvd’d it. I adored how happy will and Kate both looked and, the little smiles that they kept giving each other.

I would love to win your book as I haven’t read any of your published works yet. This would be a great opportunity for me to get to know you and discover a new Author.

Hello Lisa.
No I didn’t watch the wedding, but I did look at pictures on the net. Kate and William both looked so happy that they made me smile. I pray that they have a long and happy marriage.
LOL…I have been trying to win this book on several blogs this week. No luck yet.

Happy Release Day Lisa!

I didn’t watch the Royal Wedding but I did DVR it and the special done later that night on 20/20. When I finally got a chance to watch the wedding on Friday night- I watched it with my two parents…it was fun! I thought it was beautiful and I loved her dress. They looked very happy together and I wish them happiness and a lasting marriage!

Wow Lisa,

This kinda reminds me of Universal soldier. I’m interested in this book. I didn’t watch the Royal Wedding. But I did get to see it around nine on the internet.
She was a beautiful bride and Prince William looked very Happy.

Hi Lisa! I’m afraid that I did not get up to see the wedding, although I do remember getting up to see Diana & Charles get married though. This time I opted for seeing the clips. Can’t wait to read the new book count me in on the contest please.

Hi Lisa, Legend of Michael sounds very intriguing. have to agree that Van Damme and his hotness is a very nice choice of inspiration. As far as the royal wedding, I remember staying up to watch Diana’s wedding — I was younger and full of romantic fluff then. I have to say that I didn’t get to see William’s wedding live but did see re-airs and photos. I think Will and Kate have their act together; theirs is a tested, mature and stronger relationship. They look good together and I wish them a lasting love.

  There was something very magical about Diana. I don’t know what it was. And about Van Damme in his day lol!

Hi, Lisa,

I have THE LEGEND OF MICHAEL on my “wish list”!

I didn’t get up to watch the royal wedding because I had to work that day, but I’ve seen lots of the coverage since then. All the different, crazy hats made me giggle. 🙂
- on May 2, 2011 at 1:27 am | Reply Lisa
  
  Thanks on Michael and oh yes. THE HATS LOL! Do they walk around like that often I wonder?
on May 1, 2011 at 10:13 pm | Reply Kris M

I did not see the wedding 😦 which is even worse because I was even up but forgot that it was on, i was reading. The Legend of Michael sounds really good, I have put it on my tbb list. thanks!

I didn’t watch the wedding because I was preparing to disembark after a cruise to the Bahamas! I have seen highlights and clips. I thought Kate looked beautiful. I just wish they could have put Camilla and the Queen out back or something. Sorry, kind of still irked at the royals about the whole Diana thing. Now I can hardly wait for Harry to marry 🙂

I have to admit I missed the actual broadcast. I didnt wake up. But I did watch the recaps that morning. I liked her dress, thought it was a classic look with great lines. Could have turned out so bad and over the top but I think she made a good choice. But I loved Pippa’s dress.

I watched the wedding on tv but stopped at 9 after the kiss.

  I admit I didn’t make it to the kiss. I stopped when the ceremony started. They played so many later clips though I saw it later

Yes, I watched the Royal Wedding…it was lovely…such a cute couple…I wish them success in their marriage.

I enjoyed watching the wedding of Kate and William…I liked that her sister Pippi looked as elegant as Kate did but in her own way.
Harry seemed to be enjoying the wedding as much as his bother. The Royals always put on a grand affair.

I watched it – all of it!! from the beginning to the kiss (if you could call that a kiss *g*) that’s the benefit for living in the same time zone *g* the wedding was really beautiful and the dress – oh my, I love it!

Hello!

I’m boring; I just love to read. I did see the Royal Wedding; I got up at early and didn’t miss a bit of it!

Legend of Michael sounds great; I’m adding it to my wish list.

I was up watching it and then I fell asleep just before it happened 😦

Hi Lisa, I too fell asleep right before the royal wedding was airing live on TV… I had to watch recaps afterwards and by then, it was just some footage here and there.

Congrats on the new release! The Legend of Michael sounds very intriguing, I would definitely need to check it out myself 🙂

I didn’t and I didn’t even realize it was at night. For some odd reason I thought it would be on the next morning. I was planning to watch it with my daughter who has a princess fascination but totally forgot to even check for it so I could record it. Uuuughhh
