I also enjoy reading hot alpha-male leads. Abduction plot? While worn thin, it can work for me. I eventually stopped counting.ĭon't get me wrong. without giving them any fresh twist at all. gah!Īnd why use one tired romance cliche when one can use all of them? This book hits about twelve of them by the end of the first three chapters alone. And aliens who would fit right in on 'Melrose Place'. Must have been the supposedly "science fiction" setting. But when the warring Trakas abduct his father and hold him hostage for the Amulet, Cohl is dragged back to a fate he does not want with a woman he cannot ignore. Tess soon finds herself up to her neck in smelly bad guys, a robot with a superiority complex, an ancient Amulet that could end her singing career permanently, and a man who can burn her from the inside out.Ĭohl Travers thought he was free and clear of his destiny to become the next ruler of his planet. When he says he desperately needs her voice for a dangerous cosmic mission and the fate of two planets hangs on her song, she figures one of them is in for some serious therapy. That is until Cohl Travers, alien extraordinaire, swoops out of the night sky and snatches her off her planet. Her band was hot, her songs were rocking and Tess was on her way to becoming a star.
She’d postponed her singing career to support the family business and after eight long years, she finally earned her chance to shine. Tusks and other parts of two 38,000-year-old Columbian mammoths were found in late 2003 in a sand pit near Clute, southwest of Galveston, and people in Waco in 1978 found the remains of a herd of 24 mammoths that apparently died during a mudslide 28,000 years ago.Life on Earth was just getting interesting for Tess MacKenzie. Last summer, fossils found in a dry creek bed north of Dallas were determined to be those of a 10,000-year-old mammoth. Mammoth remains have been found across Texas through the years. The ground is sandy underneath the bone, which indicates water carried the animal there, he said.
Because the bones have the consistency of clay, several have been wrapped in plaster to provide support and uphold preservation.
The digging process could take at least a year, Clark said. They are warm-weather cousins of woolly mammoths. "The size of the bone, however, puts it well outside the norms of a mastodon," Clark said.Ĭolumbian mammoths, which weighed up to 9 tons and had tusks up to 16 feet long, were one of only two or three species common to Texas, Clark said.
