Diary of a Queen: Aminah: The Hidden Royal

QUEEN AMINAH admits that her people have become a faint whisper of the past, living constantly under the threat of discovery, tiptoeing through the land of the neighboring king. With the threat of discovery realized, she must now face the very man who could hold the lives of her people in his hands, and fight desperately not to hand him her heart. Within the forgotten northern borders of his kingdom, KING ERIC DE GAINES has no idea of the lost civilization that dwells upon his land. On an attempt to escape the every day trappings of royalty, he stumbles upon a tribe that dare to take him hostage, creating a powerful enemy. As he plots to seek revenge, he finds that treason runs far deeper than the ghosts at his door...or the woman who has begun to haunt his dreams.

Words splashed on a page is a whirlwind of possibilities. What kind of story will it be? Knights in armor, dancing maidens, flying fairies, stripper heels, dueling guns, or suffocating egos? Just as when you take that first step towards a new phase in life, buy that first plane ticket to the vacation of a lifetime, take that first phone call for a new job, or lean in for the first kiss....the first word of a new novel is like bated breath. You’re too excited and nervous to breathe. ＂Breathing is overrated,＂ is a quote you would hear often from author Tarlin Saye. The 27-year old has been telling stories, both real and imagined, throughout all of her life. The ability to spin a tall tale came naturally, but it was creating a story that fascinated herself first that became the true challenge. Making a note to always build a story around a strong central woman (no offense to Cinderella but the damsel in distress act got old), her stories range from romance to sci-fi to contemporary to drama. The women of this author’s world aren’t just searching for love, but also for hope, loyalty, respect, faithfulness, and the space to be whoever they wish to be. After all, whose love story would work out without all of these things to support it? Tarlin Saye is currently enjoying the freedom of not having a permanent address as she is traveling to the places she’s always dreamed about, sticking around long enough to make new friends and build a better perspective as the platform for her next ＂bated breath＂.
