About Bri Clark

Bri Clark Bri Clark is a real example of redemption and renewal.  Growing penniless in the South, Bri learned street smarts while caring for her brother in a broken home.  She watched her mother work several jobs to care for their small family.  Once her brother could fend for himself, Bri moved on to a series of bad choices including leaving school and living on her own.   Rebelliousness was a strong understatement to describe those formative years.  As a teenager, her wakeup call came from a fight with brass knuckles and a judge that gave her a choice of shaping up or spending time in jail.  She took that opportunity and found a way to moved up from the streets.  She ended up co-owning an extremely successful construction business.  She lived the high life until the real estate crash when she lost everything.  She moved west and found herself living with her husband and 4 kids in a 900 square foot apartment.  She now fills her time, writing, blogging, leading a group of frugal shoppers and sharing her southern culture.  Her unique background gives her writing a raw sensibility.  She understands what it takes to overcome life’s obstacles.   She often tells friends, “I can do poor.  I’m good at poor. It’s prosperity that I’m not used to.”  Bri and her husband Chris live in Boise.  Bri is known as the Belle of Boise for her true southern accent, bold demeanor and hospitable nature.

Bri boasts several positions in the publishing industry. An author, professional reviewer, blogger, and author platform consultant she enjoys all aspects of her career from the creation of story to the branding and marketing needed to make her books successful.

Her latest book is Glazier, a romantic fantasy adventure novel with espionage, genetic powers, underground bases and a ginger beauty with memory issues that take you on a ride that begins in Vermont and comes to a head in Egypt.

About Glazier

Glazier Marie Kincaid is devastated after losing her family in a violent crash…so she runs. One morning, she awakes in an infirmary with total memory loss and a new power: Glazier. The cold frozen mists of Glazier’s instincts enable Marie to embark on a new life free of pain but most importantly free of the past. Heightened senses, accelerated strength,speed, and learning abilities make Marie a perfect candidate to be a spy…also a perfect companion for Henry Tenison, the only other known Glazier.

Henry, a loner and proud rogue finds his world upended when his connection to Marie is forged. Unsure of how to progress, he endeavors to keep it strictly professional. As far away missions and romantic surroundings entice him into pursuing his deeper desires, he caves. However, Marie’s love changes everything.

Determined to free them both of the spy world and the hold Glazier has over their lives, Henry implements a plot to disappear. However, when things become dangerous in their latest mission and memories of Marie’s past surface suggesting another man…will Henry’s efforts come too late? If Marie remembers her past, will she still want their future?

Book Excerpt:

Cursing Henry rubbed his cheek .I laughed at his antics. A bruise wouldn’t even appear. Well maybe his ego. Crouching down like a lion after his prey I prepared myself for his attack. Doing a full rotation with one of his brawny calves totally extended, he attempted to knock my legs out from under me. I anticipated the move and somersaulted over his shoulders, landing behind him and pulling one of my blades out to meet the skin of his throat.
“You give?” I asked.
“Give.” He grunted. “Best two out of three?”
“No, I am done for the day.”
Usually content sparring with Henry for hours, today I was looking for a break in the routine. Eating, sleeping, breathing and training with him daily, I was beginning to anticipate his moves. While I’d love to put a time frame on my time with Henry…I couldn’t. I had no memory of my life before coming to Norway. Some of my first memories of the base were unclear.
Eventually I quit trying to remember. It seemed like a defeated purpose. Whenever I did, it was as if a black wall rose to block a part of my brain. Considering my mind was protecting me from something, I concluded that being in the dark was perhaps for the best. The memories I did have, I held dear. Of course having Glazier made remembering everything easier. She enabled us to have a heightened sense of awareness being able to remember details, times and places more accurately than a normal person. It was as if a memory appeared like a movie in our mind and without even trying we recorded the minutest of details.
I accepted the loss of my past and chose to enjoy my job and my partner, Henry. He was an excellent teacher, patient and thorough, my constant companion. I was aware Abram had ordered him to be, but over time, it seemed he enjoyed being with me.

“My editor at Astraea Press (Stephanie Taylor) and I were discussing submissions one day. She was expressing her dismay at having to reject so many. She’s wore the author cap too. She knows the sting. Nevertheless, she said she couldn’t accept a novel of any kind lacking GMC. GMC…I repeated. What’s that?

“I very highly recommend this book! The story is beautifully written with a story line that will grab you from the start and keeps you turning the pages until the very end. The mystery and suspense draws you in and the characters make you feel it emotionally. There are lots of twists and turns, and it’s an emotional roller coaster as well.”
