Adorned by Georgeann Swiger!

 

Title: Adorned (Book I in The Trinity of Souls series)

Author: Georgeann Swiger
Publisher: Entranced Publishing, Rush imprint
Genre: YA paranormal romance
Length: 80k words
Release Date: 4 November, 2013

Blurb:
When seventeen-year-old Anya finds out she’s actually an angel being trained to protect humanity, she discovers that becoming an angel has nothing to do with wings and haloes. For Anya, becoming an angel has to do with death—her death.

Micah, the angelic soldier ordered to protect her until she transitions from human to angel, promises her death will be a glorious experience as long as she follows his rules. But getting Anya through this life and to the next isn’t as simple as Micah expects. His job becomes even more difficult after he unwittingly performs a miracle that exposes Anya’s hidden angelic light.

With her secret out, Hell’s legions begin targeting her. Unfortunately, Hell’s minions are the least of Micah’s worries. He’s more concerned about the forbidden human emotions he’s developed toward Anya. Even more troubling, is she seems to love him too. And giving in to those feelings, could mean dire consequences for them both.

About the Author:
Georgeann Swiger earned her degree in journalism from West Virginia University, and then spent five years as an anchor/reporter at WBOY-TV in Clarksburg, WV. After having children, she left television news to be a stay at home mom. During that time, she discovered creative writing was more fun than writing about real life tragedy. Imagining interesting characters and having them come to life on the page is now her passion. When she’s not writing, she works as a substitute teacher. She lives in Reedsville, West Virginia with her husband, two kids, a beagle dog and a temperamental cat who tries to rule the house.

And here's a little something fun from Georgeann...Yum!!

 

When I began writing Adorned, I had no idea how important meal times and food would end up being in the story. The meals the angels share are often prepared by Simon, an angel who loves to cook. He prefers to use the freshest ingredients and add his own little twist to everything he makes. In the spirit of autumn and Thanksgiving, Simon is sharing his pumpkin pie recipe. It’s made completely from scratch and has a heavenly flavor everyone will love.
Note: The crust recipe makes two shells. If you want to try it, may I suggest you do what I did and invite over your best friend to help you chop up a pumpkin, roll out two crusts and stir together two bowls of the delicious pumpkin filling. You’ll each get a pie and some quality BFF time.
  

SIMON’S PUMPKIN PIE

 

MASHED PUMPKIN

Use 1 ½ pounds of fresh skin-on raw pumpkin to yield 2 cups mashed. Halve pumpkin. Scoop out seeds and stringy portions. Cut pumpkin into chunks and place in saucepan. Cover pumpkin with one inch of water and bring to boil. Simmer for 30 minutes or until pumpkin is tender. Drain. Cool. Remove peel. Return pumpkin to saucepan and mash with a potato masher.

 

CRUST

2 2/3 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

1 c. shortening

½ c. warm water

1 tsp. vinegar

1/8 c. sugar

Combine water, vinegar, salt and sugar in measuring cup. Cut shortening into flour mixture until crumbly. Make well in flour mixture and add water. Combine with hands until dough forms a ball. Divide ball in half. Lightly flour surface and roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Gently roll dough around rolling pin and place it in the pie dish. Trim sides and flute edge or use a fork to press a pretty edge. TIP: The less you work the dough, the flakier the pastry will be.

2 c. mashed pumpkin

1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk

2 eggs, beaten

¾ c. packed brown sugar

½ tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. nutmeg

½ tsp. ginger

4. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Continue baking at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until pie is no longer wiggly.
5. Cool before serving.
6. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
