Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Ren & Kelsey in Oregon
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Ren & Kelsey in Oregon I really loved exploring Ren’s and Kelsey’s relationship right after she made her decision to finally be with him. Ultimately my editor thought I put in too many scenes of them enjoying their time together and several scenes were either cut or moved. Here is one of my favorite chapters in the series. This is from what was originally chapter 8 in Tiger’s Quest titled “Kishan.” “Unfortunately, my time is almost gone for today. So we’ll have to save our poem study for tomorrow.” I clutched his hand, “Will you still …
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Rules for Courtship
Tiger’s Quest Deleted Scene-Rules for Courtship This deleted segment was one I went back and forth with my editor on. Ultimately it was changed to the version it is now. This is how the scene went in the self-published Tiger’s Quest. It’s from chapter 6 & 7. She squeezed my arm, “Your Ren is wonderful. And absolutely yummy. I can see why you had a hard time letting him go. If I were a couple of years younger and wasn’t happily married, I’d lock him up with me and swallow the key. What are you going to do?” “Ren …
Tiger’s Curse Uncut Prologue
Tiger’s Curse Uncut Prologue Prologue The Curse The prisoner stood with his hands tied in front of him, tired, beaten, and filthy, but with a proud back befitting his royal heritage. The man seated before him on a lavishly carved, gilded throne was Lokesh, his future father-in-law. Lokesh wore a golden diadem on his head and had a gaudy jeweled ring adorning each of his broad, stubby fingers. Though his hair was still black, his beard showed signs of graying and fine wrinkles showed when he narrowed his eyes. The magnificent throne was draped with a rich purple brocade, …
Tiger’s Curse Uncut Kelsey Chapter
The Uncut Kelsey Chapter From the Self-Published Version of Tiger’s Curse Chapter 1 Kelsey I was standing on a precipice. Technically, I was just standing in line, but it felt like a precipice. Childhood, high school, and the illusion that I was not responsible for myself were behind me. Ahead of me loomed the future. I was fairly certain it included more education, a variety of summer jobs to help pay tuition, and the probability of a lonely adulthood. The line moved. I’d been waiting for what seemed like hours to be interviewed to …

RT Book Reviews Destiny Message
MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR Colleen Houck Book Title: TIGER’S DESTINY Genre: Paranormal, Young Adult View Colleen Houck’s Profile | Visit Colleen Houck’s Website Author’s Message The word “light” conjures thoughts of goodness, clarity, energy, and health. It’s a happy word — a word full of bubbles, warmth, and exultation. In Tiger’s Destiny, I create a magical world beneath an ocean volcano that is lit with fire, but in this realm the light is surrounded by darkness, a blackness that threatens to snuff out the flames along with the lives of my heroes. The idea for Bodha, The City of Light, came when I was researching mythological …

Thoughts on Publishing
Thoughts on Publishing By Colleen Houck There is no feeling in the world like typing the last sentence of your first book. It’s a surprised delight that, interestingly enough, is almost unexpected. I remember thinking, ‘I did it! I actually did it! I didn’t think I could, but I did!’ It was a milestone for me. It opened a new chapter for me and pushed my career and my life in a new direction. Not being able to have my own children, I’ve often wondered what my contribution to world would be. Who would I share my life experiences …
