Do
you remember those scientist classes where they talked about the
Neanderthals and other Homo Sapiens?
No?
Funny,
but I do. I watch a number of special programs where scientists
argued as to whether or not humans and Neanderthals existed at the
same time. Each side argued for and against the possibility. Then I
found research proving Neanderthals and humans did have fun together
because Neanderthal genome is in human DNA.
The
book Neanderthal Man – In Search of Lost Genomes by Svante
Paabo is about what the scientists had to go through in their search
to find answers as to whether or not Neanderthal genome was in human
DNA. The book is not an easy read, but I couldn’t let that stop me.
So I skipped over those long technical words and tried to get to the
meat of what the author/scientist was trying to tell me.
It
was a fascinating adventure, which spanned the globe. Dr. Paabo is
from the Max
Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.
It is truly an amazing story and if you are interested in how
scientist discovered Neanderthal DNA in the human genome, I recommend
spending time with this book.
Now,
after reading about Neanderthals, I had to work them into a book. I
loved the idea that we as humans may have inherited some special
skill from our Neanderthal ancestors. This is how I created my new
series, the Ancient Warrior Prophecy.
The
series is built on the idea that people with Neanderthal DNA have
special skills such as psychic abilities and they are using those
abilities to save the world. Add in a murder and a hot romance, the
first book is all about the story behind the story of the
announcement of the Neanderthal’s DNA being in the human genomes.

Blurb
Special
Security Agent Sebastian Berlin is eager to track down his partner's
killer. Instead, he’s assigned the job of baby-sitting a scientist.
His boss thinks she's the key to an Ancient Warrior Prophecy. Science
never interested Sebastian, but the know-it-all female standing at
the end of his Alaskan dock could persuade him to do a little
experimenting. That is, if he can keep his Neanderthal Warrior genes
from taking control.
DNA
specialist Lily Sinclair is in need of a vacation, or so her
over-protective ex-husband tells her. Arriving in chilly Alaska
instead of sunny Cancun, she's tired and cranky and so not in the
mood for her bodyguard's he-man tactics. Still, there's something
about the sexy eye-candy that makes her want to lick him all over
even as she's demanding to go home.
Then
Lily's ex is poisoned, and Sebastian is certain the two murders are
connected and she could be next. She knows he's hiding something, but
with the worldwide release of Neanderthal DNA project only days away,
she has no choice but to trust him to protect her. But can she trust
him with her heart?
Excerpt
A
needy groan escaped him. “Honey, the only activity I want to do
with you right now is strip off your clothes and make love to you.”
She
blinked. “I don’t understand. You barely know me.”
“That
doesn’t mean I’m not attracted to you.” He covered her wrist,
fearing her touch might drive him to rush this moment.
Slowly,
he guided her away from temptation and placed her palm on his chest.
“I took one look and decided I wanted you. That’s why I kissed
you earlier, and why I’m losing the battle to keep my hands to
myself.”
A
whisper of a smile played over her lips. “Do you have protection?”
Hope
sped through every cell in his body, and a tingle of anticipation
sparked in his gut. “I have a whole box in the drawer next to my
bed.”
“So
you’d like to show me your bedroom?” she teased, and he recalled
their earlier conversation.
“Say
the word, and we’ll be on our way.”
