➜ You’ll Never Believe the “Gut Feeling” That Saved My Life – A true behind-the-books story by Larissa Ione. <— WELCOME TO INSTALLMENT #2 OF OUR NEWLY REVIVED FEATURE “You’ll Never Believe” and today’s feature is by one of my favorite paranormal romance authors, Larissa Ione, in celebration of her re-releases – with brand new covers – that just went live again today! She, and Blue Box Press are today’s newsletter sponsors. And this fun story truly warmed my heart!!

She starts off by saying...

You’ll never believe…

 

So, this is a fun prompt. I have a million stories that start that way (and they’re not even fiction!) But which one to pick? The NASA offer? The Anderson Cooper incident? The F-16 dogfight adventure?

 

Hmm.

 

Well, lately I’ve been on a “gut feeling” kick, as if the universe is trying to tell me something...

AND HOLY MOLY!!! Now I want to know ALL of those stories. We need to circle back around to Larissa for details. LOL!!!
