Between the Covers ~ with Sandra Dailey: Tena Stetler with her new release and lifelong passion.

Wildlife Rescue has always been one of my passions. I’ve been involved with several rescues and sanctuaries for wildlife, parrots, and all kinds of needy animals.

When I was a kid, I brought home every kind creature that needed love, caring, a home and understanding. I admit my mother was less than thrilled. My bedroom was filled with extra crates, glass enclosures, heating pads, and anything an injured or abandoned creature could need. I say creature, because it didn’t matter whether it was scaled, feathered or furred, I brought it home. Mom drew the line the night I brought home a Coral Snake. My mom called the DOW. Yep, it’s poisonous. Luckily no one got bitten. I thought it was a King snake. After that, I never forgot that Coral Snakes have yellow and red bands that touch each other, while black bands always separate the yellow and red bands on King Snakes. Whew! FYI Coral Snakes are not native to Colorado. Upon further investigation, DOW discovered someone had released several poisonous snakes not from our region in our neighborhood creek.

As I grew up, I discovered there were sanctuary and rescue organizations that were better equipped to handle these types of creatures. I joined their efforts and to this day continue to do so. This is where the inspiration for A Witch’s Journey Series came from. My new release, CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MAGIC is kinda a continuation of HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC, third book in the series.

Chocolate Raspberry Magic clicked into my sights as I was finishing Hidden Gypsy Magic. Paul and Trinity were such interesting, hard-working characters that I had to tell their story. Prim and proper Trinity Shilo is the assistant manager for Salem's Wildlife Sanctuary.

Now Paul has also had his share of hard knocks. Paul Thorp is a wounded Special Forces veteran now working in security and computer support A Salem Wildlife Sanctuary.

All bets are off when they are called to assist with rescue and an Ice Cream Social fund raiser for a small Wildlife Rescue in in Puffin Cove, Maine. Though the work can be heartbreaking at times, the rewards are so much more.

A little about CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MAGIC –

Prim and proper Trinity Shilo is the assistant manager for Salem's Wildlife Sanctuary. She hasn't had much luck in the boyfriend department, but the new employee Paul is different. Deep and brooding she sees something special hidden below the surface. Besides she has secrets of her own.

Paul Thorp is a wounded Special Forces veteran now working in security and computer support. He's fought hard to keep his demons in check and for the first time feels he is ready for a real relationship.

When a fire breaks out at Puffin Cove Rescue they are called in to help with the recovery and ice cream social fundraiser. Sometimes things are not what they seem, and neither are people. When magic is unleashed will what they learn bring them closer together or push them apart.

A sneak peek between the pages of CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY MAGIC-

As Trinity walked through the aftermath of the fire, she lifted the yellow and black caution tape and carefully stepped inside the building. Her gut clenched and that feeling of foreboding washed over her again. The farther she ventured into the burnt building the stronger the gut-wrenching feeling became. Something needs my help. This was a new sensation. She took a small flashlight out of her backpack, directed the beam over the scorched debris, and moved the rubble with her toe. Nothing.

One more sweep of the light and she’d return to the others. Probably not supposed to be here anyway. A weak squawk emanated from the far corner of the building. Picking up a scorched stick, she poked at the debris. A puff of smoke rose as she made her way to where the sound came from. Shining the light into the corner, she saw movement. She knelt down and carefully shifted the charred rubble. Laying on its side, head slightly raised, and using a wing in an attempt to right itself was a small parrot. Its little eyes locked on her for a moment before its head lowered to the ground.

Frantically, she glanced around, but there was no one in sight. How far had she ventured without telling anyone? The structure overhead groaned in warning. No time. “Okay little one, it’s you and me. I don’t have much experience at this, but I’ll do my best.” Shrugging out of her backpack, she unzipped it completely. “I’m going to scoop you up in my backpack and get help.” She didn’t raise her voice to call for help for fear of scaring the poor thing.

Clearing as much debris away from the bird as possible, she scooped up the parrot in her bag. Slowly she stood, so as not to jostle the little creature. Holding the bag gently against her chest, she picked her way across the downed wooden braces, charred remnants of cabinetry, and broken glass.
