    Amber Douglas

    I'm a native Arizonan and while growing up, I would often write down notes about stories germinating in my head. I was always interested in the fantasy genre, having been introduced to Anne McCaffrey's Riders of Pern book series (may she rest in peace) in elementary school. I devoured Piers Anthony, Raymond E. Feist, and later, Lord of the Rings. In trying my hand at mysteries, I've found they are fickle things, like a knot in yarn. Instead of cutting it, try to work it out and once unraveled, have a straight line of yarn again. I will some more books coming soon, so please enjoy the ones I have out now. Reviews from readers: The Fallen Angel Review by: Gerty So on Jan. 20, 2013 : Wow, what a story.... I loved it.... Please keep writing, you are great at it..... A Highly Recommended Read..... The Fallen Angel Review by: Anonymous (Barnes and Noble) on June 27, 2013: Short and sweet...a happily ever after ending The Fallen Angel Review by Val Zykwa (Apple store) It was ok...I wish it was longer! A Pie for Papa Review by: Gerty So on Jan. 20, 2013 : Another great read......

      Chapter 1

      Angela Rogers tapped her foot anxiously as the woman with a pixie cut and sharp rimmed glasses studied her credentials. Angela was the daughter of Lucifer and Meredith Rogers. Her eyes, one blue, one brown, studied the petite woman discreetly, praying she would pass the test. The petite woman looked up at her.

      Well, Ms. Rogers, everything looks to be in order. Welcome to the FBI.

      Angela smiled. Thank you.

      Two hours later, she headed down to the basement where she was assigned. She heard the faint sound of typing coming from a door. Great. I’m Scully and he’s Mulder. Angela opened the door and saw a middle-aged man there, fingers flying across the keyboard. She cleared her throat and the man stopped typing.

      So, you’re my new partner, eh?

      Angela had to smile at his Canadian accent. Agent Mulder, I’m Dana Scully.

      The man’s brown eyes had a slight twinkle to them. Agent Scully, I’m Agent Drake Johnson, not Mulder.

      I’m Angela Rogers, not Scully. Her eyes flicked around the office. Remind me to get you the poster.

      Which one?

      You know: the I Want To Believe poster. Angela took her seat at the second desk further from the door.

      So why are you down here? You believe in aliens?

      If you mean I believe in things that are beyond the realm of possibility, then yes. She kept her gaze steady on his, and she saw the effect her eyes normally had. His seemed to glaze over and he blinked a few times.

      Are your eyes…normal?

      Genetic mutation. The blue from my mother, the brown from my father.

      Agent Johnson’s eyebrows went up. Wow. She noticed his eyes sweeping over her small frame in the nearly sheer pink blouse and black skirt that showed off her curves in the right places. Her brown hair was curled and draped over her shoulders. She took a breath, noting how his gaze lingered on her chest.

      So what’s on the agenda for today?

      He cleared his throat. So, we got a report about a Jersey Devil sighting shortly before the man who reported it was murdered.

      Angela had to shake her head in wonder. These humans: so ready to believe in anything. Easy there, daughter, she heard her father in her head, just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Also, be nice to Drake, okay?

      Jersey Devil. So we are Scully and Mulder.

      Not really. You’re not a redhead. You’re a brunette. And sexy to boot.

      Angela blinked at the blatant comment. Excuse me?

      Wonder why they sent you down here anyway? You know if it was as a distraction, you’re doing a damn fine job of it. You’re not married are you?

      No.

      Boyfriend?

      No.

      Any significant other?

      No.

      Good. He jerked his head to the desk. Hope you’re not too loud, if you know what I mean.

      Angela clenched her fist under the table, anger burning in her chest. How dare he! She knew there were fault lines near D.C., and wondered what he would do in an earthquake. Does Canada have earthquakes? How about a four-pointer? At that thought, she felt her power flow into the ground, causing the building to shake.

      He looked up at the ceiling, not budging from his perch on the desk. Hm. That was probably a four-pointer.

      Perhaps we should get back to the task at hand. Angela said in a clipped tone.

      He grinned and detached himself from the desk. Sure thing, sweetheart. Just as he got to the filing cabinet, she snapped her fingers. Time froze and she exhaled her breath. She got up and plucked the file from his fingers and resumed her perch on the chair.

      Angela snapped her fingers again and time resumed. She peeked over the file to see Drake looking at her with a perplexed expression.

      How did you do that?

      Do what? She snapped the file closed and studied the man. She noticed the faint scar on the bridge of his nose, his dark hair streaked with grey curling around his ears, his eyes a piercing dark gold, almost amber in color. She found herself admiring his physique. Should I lie to him?

      You’re not a vampire, are you?

      Angela grinned. My father said to never lie to people, but to be conscious of someone’s feelings, and wisdom to know the difference.

      Drake nodded. Okay.

      To answer your question, I am not a vampire. I’m actually something…well, I don’t know whether to say better or worse than a bloodsucker.

      The truth?

      Angela watched his eyes drop to her chest as she breathed deeply. She got up, her angelic senses feeling the waves of lust rolling off the man. She made sure to make eye contact with him.
