Lost And Found
by C. M. Sage
Genre: Fantasy
Synopsis
Sometimes things are lost for a very long time…and then they are found.
Take Gracie for example, a woman who lost everything, her life, her family, even her name, but now she is a Cathalian warrior of Antecede blessed with powers, which aren’t yet fully realized. Her elder and nemesis, Donavan, finally granted the former professor an opportunity to train a new warrior. Her joy turns to shock when she meets her great, great, great, great grandson, Henry, accompanied by his wisecracking best friend, Milo. Henry recognizes his long dead ancestor right away, and it doesn’t take the Cathalians long to realize that this meeting was no accident.
Gracie and the warriors of Antecede soon discover that they aren’t the only ones laying a claim on their new charges. Menacing enemies from the South and their hired mercenary assassin, Revilan, the Bowman, have also taken an interest. Come along with Gracie, Donavan, and their fellow warriors on a perilous quest to protect all that is good and right from the evil that threatens it, and along the way discover what else was lost.

Enjoy this peek inside:
Donovan came back into the room and shut the door with enough force that the frame made an ominous cracking noise and startled an already jittery Gracie. He returned to his spot near the window without acknowledging her and didn’t speak for several minutes. Just when her mind began to wander back over the events of the day, Donovan turned abruptly and studied Gracie like she was a specimen under a microscope.
Blasted man or whatever he is. He is so…well, just so. Dammit, she thought bracing herself for the incoming onslaught.
She opened her mouth to get it over with and speak first, but he held up his hand to stop her. In- stead, he waved her forward, and a reluctant Gracie moved towards him. It was rather like approaching a cobra and mesmerized she moved forward, coming closer and closer, but still, he didn’t motion her to stop. Her steps became slower and smaller as she got uncomfortably close to Donovan. He became a powerful mountain directly in front of her, and she felt his breath on the top of her head, lifting her hair. Gracie decided to risk it and stopped.

Thank you Mary. It’s crazy but by the end of the story, it started feeling like a very real world to me :). I spent a lot of time there lol
Thanks for hosting!
Thank you FUOnlyKnew for hosting Lost and Found today. Everything looks wonderful 🙂
what age group does this book fit in? How much sex is involved?
Hi Cheri…Lost and Found is definitely adult, and there are sexual encounters but nothing gratuitous. I suspect many older teens and their parents wouldn’t have a problem with it, but that’s a very individual choice. Thank you for asking.
Captivating and intriguing. Very creative and unique.
Thank you for your wonderful comments Anne.
Sounds like a book I would enjoy reading.
Thank you Dianne. I loved writing Lost and Found…the characters mean a lot to me.
The attractive cover hints that the book is action packed!
Hi Nancy…my cover artist is wonderful, and the story definitely includes great characters and adventure. Thank you for your comment 🙂
great cover, this sounds like an interesting book
Hi Wendy…I can’t wait to tell my cover artist how many wonderful comments her work is getting! She’s fantastic, and I’m so lucky she was able to work with me. It’s hard to be objective because Lost and Found is my book baby, but I think it’s interesting 🙂
Nice book cover and the book sounds interesting.
Thank you Sherry! My cover artist is pretty fantastic. She made Gracie look exactly like I see her in my mind. And I’m glad it sounds interesting to you 🙂

great cover, this book sounds great
P.S. Wendy – I know…my cover artist did such a great job! And she had to interpret my vision…that wasn’t easy!
What is the best thing about being a writer?
Hi Janet – The best thing is getting lost in your story…you can shut out everything and just let your imagination run! The sky isn’t even the limit!
have a great weekend
Pretty cover
Thank you Nancy – I love my cover 🙂
What is a line of dialogue that stuck out to you and you’ll always remember?
Hi Janet – I always think of this one for personal reasons, and many of my beta readers also mentioned this one: “She said to no one in particular, “Humans in general are funny beasties, aren’t we? At the end of the day we want to live more than anything.” Gracie absently stared out across the room contemplating her bleak future. She returned to the present and continued in a brisk voice. “There’s just a big difference between living and being alive, isn’t there?”
wonderful cover
Is there a particular event or moment that inspired you to be a writer?
Hi xjaneix78 – I don’t think there was one moment or event. I’ve loved writing for as long as I can remember. I will say that my father was in the military, so our family moved quite often and all over the world. Writing is a sort of solitary pursuit that works well with that kind of lifestyle.
