The language of love need not be translated, for it is spoken by all. The Gryphons' Dream is a full-length 102,500 word novel, and is the fifth installment in The Soul-Linked Saga. Recently rescued from being kidnapped by the reptilian Brethren, Aisling Ametsa, a beautiful redhead with a mysterious past, awakens on the planet Jasan with a huge gap in her memory and a painful back injury, to find herself hundreds of light years from her home on Earth. She immediately finds herself surrounded by more questions than answers. Why is she on Jasan, guarded by the Dracon princes and the fiercely protective Gryphon brothers? How is it that she can read and understand alien languages that she has never before encountered? And why do the Gryphons stir her heart and her body in such disquieting and exciting ways? As Aisling discovers more about the Gryphons, gorgeous but forbidding triplets who shape-shift into enormous Griffin-like creatures with lion’s bodies, eagle's heads and wings, the Gryphons slowly delve into the secrets of the enigmatic Aisling: from whom is she hiding, or who is she chasing, or both? Is she a frightened mouse, or a lioness in disguise? Together, Aisling and the Gryphons unravel the tangled skein of each others' secrets, while they share an interstellar adventure to avenge cold-blooded murder, and to unravel an ancient puzzle that may hold the secret to the survival of the Thousand Worlds against the threat of the Xanti, evil invaders from another galaxy. And, along they way, they must fight against obstacles of the heart and barriers to understanding, all the while struggling to build a love that bridges the light years between their worlds. The Gryphons' Dream has everything that readers of Laura Jo Phillips expect: a romance that sweeps the reader along in a heartfelt, emotional journey, galactic adventure and intrigue, ancient mysteries, and powerful, sensuous eroticism that will fire your blood and leave you breathless.About the AuthorLaura Jo Phillips is the author of the Amazon best-selling "The Soul-Linked Saga," a series of full-length (100,000+ words) sensual novels bridging the Fantasy/Shapeshifter, Romance, Adult Fiction, and Science Fiction genres. This breakthrough series has found thousands of readers from all of these genres, many of whom praise the series for its exceptional world-building, believable characters, well-paced action, steamy eroticism, and heart-melting love stories. There are currently five books in the series, with the sixth, "The Vulpirans' Honor," slated for release in Fall 2012. The series is expected to consist of at least seven novels. All novels in the series are only for adult readers who are not offended by explicit sexuality. Phillips was born in San Bernardino, California and now lives in Northwest Arizona where she is the manager of a small professional office. She has had a number of careers, such as running a medical billing office and working for years as a technical writer, including writing software user manuals. Her lifelong ambition, however, has been to be a novelist, a dream which has recently come to fruition with the publication of the first five novels of "The Soul-Linked Saga": "The Dracons' Woman" in October 2011, "The Lobos' HeartSong" in November of that same year, "The Katres' Summer" in January 2012, "The Bearens' Hope" in March, and "The Gryphons' Dream" in May of the same year. "The Soul-Linked Saga" was born in a discussion over lunch at Denny's with her husband, in which Laura sketched the broad outlines of the series and enlisted his help with the science fiction and military/political elements, a lively (and, according to Laura, "fun") collaboration which continues through the series. Based on the popularity her work is enjoying, Laura is leaving office work to concentrate on her writing. Phillips plans several more novels in the "Soul-Linked Saga" and looks forward to spending many years travelling with her readers through the fascinating universe of "The Thousand Worlds" which she and her husband have created.
