Robert Langdon Series.
I've been reading Dan Brown's entire "Robert Langdon" series in order.
They are:
"Angels and Demon's"
"The DaVinci Code"
"The Lost Symbol"
It's quite interesting especially now that I write fiction. I'm finding the many elements to be quite fascinating. There are secret societies, puzzles, fantastic chases and new technologies. He's even created really likable individuals like professor Langdon that is the main character.
One of the primary elements is of course Masonic beliefs. It's in every one of the books of the series including, "The Lost Symbol." I would hazard a guess that it's also in the one that's getting released soon which is Inferno.
It might upset some, but Dan may have some of the origins of the US right. The "all men are created equal" line in the bill of rights came from Masonic tradition. After all, the founding fathers of this nation were Masons first and foremost. Christianity was not something primary for them. The bits about the separation of church and state? That had to do more with the stupidity of having to attend a specific church like happened in most of Europe. If you didn't go to the church the ruler proscribed you could easily be put to death.
Much of the story line stretches believability until it almost breaks. Even so, I'm really enjoying reading the whole series. It may be a while until I read the new book but eventually I will read it I assure you.
Yes, I do have a favorite and it's, "Angels and Demons." Did find the almost constant references to female genitalia in "The DaVinci Code" to be rather tedious as I read along. I'm kind of wondering if he didn't need to get laid while writing that book but I digress a little there.
Until next time, have a great day and happy reading.

Warrior Unleashed Cover Reveal
Welcome to the official cover reveal of Warrior Unleashed, book 1.5 in the Mythrian Realm series! When Breaking the Nexus released on 12/12/12, readers fell in love with the Mythrian Realm and clamored for more. Since the follow up, Waking the Phoenix won’t be ready until sometime this summer, I knew I had to give readers a taste of Mythria.
Warrior Unleashed, a novella featuring Sha’s half brother, will be released on May 7! This novella is set entirely in the Mythrian Realm and while the hero and heroine are not Sha and Connor, I think you’ll all fall in love with this couple. Find out what happens when the sexy panther Chimerae, Achaius Rilke, must team up with feisty Gaelen Sorceri Saia Makan in this action packed novella!
Without further ado, I present the gorgeous cover designed by Blue Harvest Creative!

Blurb:
Nothing is more dangerous than a warrior unleashed.
When Sentinels begin dying under mysterious circumstances, the deaths are believed to be unrelated. Only one man sees the truth: an unknown enemy is targeting the elite group of warriors and no one is safe. As a panther Chimerae, Achaius Rilke recognizes the signs of an unpredictable predator. The only person he can trust is Saia Makan, the tempestuous Sorceri who has driven him crazy for years. But when the killer has set his sights on Saia, Achaius faces the hunt of his life.
Don’t miss the first book, Breaking the Nexus, available now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and in paperback!
Blurb:
A warrior trying to save humans. A detective searching for a killer. And a powerful romance neither expected.
Throughout history, myths and legends of extraordinary creatures have been told and retold. Fantastic tales of demons and banshees, gryphons and dragons, and of course, magic. Stories that every child grows to learn are nothing more than fantasy…or are they?
Beyond the world you see lies a hidden realm, the Mythrian Realm, inhabited by all of the creatures you’ve been told are mere fiction. Only one thing lies between humans and the truth: the Nexus. A magical barrier erected millennia ago to separate the two realms, it has stood the test of time. Until now.
For Mythrian Sha Phoenix, magic is nothing new. But when she stumbles upon a portal on the verge of collapse, her fate will forever change. Pulled through the portal into the Human Realm, she lands in the middle of Detective Connor Flynn’s brutal murder scene. Soon it is obvious someone is using blood magic to try to bring down the Nexus. Together, Connor and Sha must work to unravel the secrets before the barrier falls and the realms collide.
The Nexus is breaking and all hell is about to unleash…literally.

Meet Lindsay Avalon!
I am a wife, a programmer, and now an
author. I have an adorable mini Schnauzer and more books than I have room for.
I love reading romance because no matter what may be happening in my life, I
can always count on my books to end happily ever after. The day I met my
husband was the day I truly began believing in happily ever after. After
hearing me complain a few too many times that I had “nothing” to read despite
the hundreds of paperbacks scattered around the house, my husband began
suggesting I write my own stories. When I finally took his advice I discovered
that although I enjoy my day job as a software engineer, my true calling is to
be an author.
My sister drilled into me an appreciation
for fantasy and mythology, something I try to bring to my books. My debut
novel, Breaking the Nexus started as
a book written for NaNoWriMo and has grown to so much more. It was the conduit
that introduced me to a fantastic group of independent authors who have changed
my life in unimaginable ways.
When I’m not writing, I’ve found a passion
for blogging and interviewing fellow authors. I also love reading, baking,
crochet, sewing sock monkeys, playing video games, and all sorts of random
crafts. I have an incurable love of rubber duckies and stuffed animals, and I
believe nobody should have to grow up if they don’t want.
