Twenty-year-old Ward de’Ath expected this to be a simple
job—bring a nobleman’s daughter back from the dead for
fifteen minutes, let her family say good-bye, and launch
his
fledgling career as a necromancer. Goddess knows he can’t
be
a surgeon—the Quayestri already branded him a criminal
for
trying—so bringing people back from the dead it is. But when Ward wakes the beautiful Celia Carlyle, he gets
more than he bargained for. Insistent that she’s been
murdered, Celia begs Ward to keep her alive and help her
find justice. By the time she drags him out her bedroom
window and into the sewers, Ward can’t bring himself to
break his damned physician’s Oath and desert her. However, nothing is as it seems—including Celia. One
second,
she’s treating Ward like sewage, the next she’s kissing
him.
And for a nobleman’s daughter, she sure has a lot of
enemies. If he could just convince his heart to give up
on
the infuriating beauty, he might get out of this alive…

Re: Ward Against Death
I love fantasy fiction but the best type for me is when our world collides with that of 'other' worlds. This book sounds exactly right. I love the idea of a renaissance necromancer. My dream job would be 'keeper of the royal unicorns'. It would definitely be in a world full of magic have have more than a touch of renaissance ideas and ideals about it. Maybe I would meet Ward in this role?

Fantasy Fiction is my favorite genre to read. Thank you for
the opportunity to enter this giveaway. My dream job has
always to be a high school history teacher. I know it is
not the most outlandish exciting job but I have always been
a history buff and would love to be able to educate young
minds. It so happens I followed a different path got my MBA
and now work recruiting but I still wish I had went the
education route.

If I had any talent at all I would love to be a writer or a singer. But alas that is not to be. I would also love to help at a shelter or youth home but I lack the training for that. So I guess it is boring office work for me...oh well.

Love to read this new novel. I am crazy about fantasy novels
with a touch of romance. Who doesn't want to swept off their
feet my an educated man with a dark side. Swords, prince's
and assassins. Would like to know if this is a one of or
maybe a series. Would love to see a triology and then maybe
a prelude to mix things up. Best of luck Diana
My book club will definitely use this book.
(Diana Eaves 2:23am August 27, 2011)
My dream job, let me think. I would open a cafe that would
have book signings and readings. I used to go to one in
Toronto and miss it very much. Diana

Ever Sences CSI Started I Wanted to Be a Crime Scene Investigator.

Well my dream job would have the best health insurance that would have small employee contribution and cover most of everything. I would get six weeks vacation a year. I would work with people who know how to do their jobs, and do it well. I would also like these people to assume responsibility for their mistakes, and then fix them. If I could get all the above in my current job as Administative Assistant in a Nursing Home, that would be great. I love my job, love the residents, and some of their families. I even like most of the people I work with. Now if only the rest were true. But such is life!
(Elizabeth Rodriguez 6:59am August 27, 2011)
I've always wanted to work for the government in some capacity doing research - information based. Crazy after so many years that desire is still there.
(Linda Leonard 8:24am August 27, 2011)
Best wishes on your new venture!

My original dream job was to be a writer. I had a teacher in High School who loved to read my papers, and said that if I pursued writing, I could go far. All the way through school, from the time I was small, I loved the English language. When it came time to consider college, I was having a conversation with my Mother, and she said some hurtful things, which turned me off from going to college at all. My second choice would have actually have been to go to Medical School and become a doctor. I have some severe medical conditions, due to an accident I received at work, and I've had to learn a lot about my conditions over the years - the names, what is going to happen, about the testing, hospital stays, types of specialists, the list goes on. At times I've done research to give to my doctor to see if it would ease my condition any, and sometimes the doctor was actually receptive to the idea, which was a relief. My Dad actually kids me and calls me Dr. Peggy, but does seek me out for advice on certain things that are non-threatening, which flatter me a bit. I do tell him to go to the doctor if I feel it necessary. I am so in love with your story line, and can't wait to read your book!! This is one that I can really sink my teeth into. I can forget about fixing dinner with this book in my hands!! What an amazing cover as well!!! Congratulations!
(Peggy Roberson 10:36am August 27, 2011)
The book sounds great. My dream job would definitely be educational tourism for kids. Teaching them about the history of various locations and events.
(Pam Howell 10:38am August 27, 2011)
I am fortunate in that I'm retired from my dream job. From about the age of 8 on I wanted to be a librarian. I was able to make that dream a reality. I'm now retired from that job but still have a huge love of books and reading!
(Leanna Morris 10:51am August 27, 2011)
Your book sounds like an amazing read! My dream job would be to help others to explore and attain their dreams. I guess that would make my career a dream director of sorts? LOL
(Theresa Dunlap 11:01am August 27, 2011)
Wow, some really great jobs mentioned so far.
@ Linda Guest: lol. Keeper of the Royal Unicorns sounds like an awesome job.
@ Diana Eaves: wow, thank you. I hope your book club enjoys the book. Just to shake things up, I've planned The Chronicles of a Reluctant Necromancer to be a four book series.
@ Stacey Smith: I've been fascinated with CSI, too.
@ Theresa Dunlap: Dream director sounds like a great job. And it's not a far fetched idea. There's a relatively new field called life coaching that focuses on helping people achieve their goals (among other things).
(Melanie Card 11:18am August 27, 2011)
Lately I've been asking myself the very same questions and I really can't think of my dream job. Currently I love what I am doing and who I work for so I think the only thing that could make it better would be to work from home. Maybe someday...
Good luck and happy writing!
(Tracie Travis 11:53am August 27, 2011)

(Joe Bianchi 12:46pm August 27, 2011)
I worked in finance for 28 years...boring but it paid the bills & insurance. My dream was to be my own boss; a card & gift store. Then I realized I could combine all the things I love if I owned a' indie' book store, with cool gifts and recycled cards. I've always been a voracious reader and I love to share my enthusiasm for books:) With the economy in the toilet and the stock market eating my future retirement, my dream is a long shot, but I'm not giving up. If all else fails I keep my part-time job working at a flower shop;]

This sounds so yummy! Can't wait to read it!

My dream job is one that I find interesting and that pays well enough to allow me to do whatever else I please. without having to worry about whether or not I'll be able to pay all the bills from one month to the next.
The field is unimportant, as long as it's interesting to me.
Later,
Lynn

My dream job would be to be able to teach people to dance and to be a competitive dancer. I used to dance but eight surgery's later and dancing isn't even something I can do any more let alone compete or teach. It was fun while it lasted.
(Brenda Rupp 10:35pm August 27, 2011)
My dream is actually to run and own my own bar, while taking care of my husband and kids at home. It's a bit of a challenge, but with a stay at home Daddy, it's do-able~

(Diane Brixius 11:31pm August 27, 2011)
My dream job when I was in fourth grade was to be a veterinarian. Back then, I had a dream that I would save all the endangered species from being extinct. I wasn't going into my dream due to the money. I have a higher cause to save the animals no matter what it was going to cost me. Unfortunately, my parents didn't see being a veterinarian as a job security and prevented me from going to UC Davis (I was seventeen at the time)which I got accepted and is my still my dream university. I was seventeen at the time.)
Since I didn't become a veterinarian, I volunteered my time at the animal shelter and at the zoo. At least I can say, I'm not getting pay for doing something that I have always wanted to do.
(Kai Wong 11:39pm August 27, 2011)
Well, my dream job is neither medicine nor necromancy. Not even novel writing. Initially my dream job was interpreting at the UN, yes, like Nicole Kidman--well, minus all the excitement. But unfortunately, my finances and health just didn't measure up. So I gave up and became a language teacher: English and French in Germany. Later I taught German in Canada where I'm living again.
