Luminosi, and Scuri, and Hunters! Oh My!

So, if you are reading this right now you are a loyal friend, family member, or someone who accidently stumbled across this page and are now wondering how the hell you got here.  So, just in case you fall into that last category, let me take a moment to introduce myself.

            My name is Tasha Driver.  I am your not-so-typical waitress, barista, single mother, and chick living with Crohn’s Disease.  In this blog you will probably hear about all of those things at some point, but the primary purpose of this is to promote my (in the works) book series, The Luminosi Brotherhood.  The books are Paranormal Romances and have plenty of steamy parts along with the action.  I have been planning this series for the last three years of my life.  Now that I have a clear picture (at least in my head) of where this is going and Book One is close to being finished, I figure it’s time to let you all in on why I get that spacey look on my face at inappropriate times and mumble about demon hunters and lesbian fairies.  Yes, I said lesbian fairies, but we will get to that later.

            What’s the basic premise of the series, you ask?

            Well, without giving the awesome parts away (you’ll have to purchase the final products for that) here’s a brief series synopsis:

In the beginning of time, when God was creating Earth, He called His Angelic Council, “Peace,” “Love,” “Truth,” and “Justice,” and asked how they felt about Him creating humans.  “Love” and “Justice” agreed while “Peace” and “Truth” made a strong stance against us lowly humans even existing.  What they didn’t know was that God had already made His choice and only wanted to know who among His angels would uphold His decision.  This began a long history of angels falling from Heaven. 

When they reached Earth, they were referred to as Daemons, or “those that are no longer holy and all-powerful.”  Our modern term for them is Demons.  Angels of death became vampires.  Angels of Destruction became Shifters.  Angels of Enlightenment became Psychics.  Angels of Words and Knowledge became Spellcasters (or witches) and those of Nature became Elementals.  All of our mythical monsters and bogeymen once lived beyond the pearly gates of Heaven.  Now they live amongst us.        

Two factions formed from these Daemons.  Those that wished to use and annihilate humankind – The Scuri, or Dark Ones, and those who protect us from harm and choose to live secretly among us until they are allowed to return to Heaven.  They are called the Luminosi Brotherhood.  Luminosi means Bright Ones. 

There are many leaders and heroes in the Brotherhood and these sexy boys and a few luscious vixens are whom each book in the series revolves around.  There will be separate postings about them individually.

Then, of course, are the bad guys.  The Scuri are led collectively, regardless of type, by Lykos, former Angel of Destruction and “Peace” (I know, the irony, right).  When he fell he didn’t just become a Shifter, he mutated into a giant wolf beast, raped countless human women and became the father of all werewolves.  And, yes, he’s kind of a dick.  His claim to fame was killing “Truth” back in the early days who he vilely refers to as “that pussy with daddy issues.”  Brownie points if you can guess one of “Truth’s” names that we are a little more familiar with.

Finally, there are the Prices.  A family of demon hunters.  These bad asses have been kicking Daemon butt since Before Christ.  Presently, they are led by Jackson Price.  He is the C.E.O. of Price industries, a government weapons manufacturer and front for the recruitment and training of Hunters worldwide.  Jackson, along with his brothers Seth and Javier, and little sister Samarra, make a lot of trouble for Luminosi and Scuri alike.  Throughout the series the Luminosi Brotherhood have to decide whether the Prices are allies or just humans that need to be considered collateral damage.

There you have it.  Hopefully, you’ll stay with me in this journey.  I’ll be posting excerpts as I go along and I’m sure I’ll have a few giveaways as we get closer to release.  I will be self-publishing so your dedication is integral to my success.  I thank you in advance for helping me to achieve my dream.

Be well,

Tasha
