I’m Myla Lewis, a part-demon girl who was pregnant with a child that was destined to put the ‘super’ in supernatural power. Here’s what I learned about pregnancy in general, and supernatural ones in particular…
10. CRAVINGS. In my case, I got insane cravings for healthy crap. For example, I wanted to eat beets like it was my job! Beets, I tell you! Do you have any idea what that does to your digestive system? It’s disgusting.
9. SUPERNATURAL SEX. Here I’m talking about the encounter that actually got me pregnant. It was my honeymoon, I was with my loving husband, and this was our first time having sex. Amazing. Then, angelic voices began to sing. No, seriously. SINGING. I actually had little supernatural entities visit me because I’d gotten knocked up. They hovered over the bed and sparkled. Talk about awkward.
8. CRAZY ASS MOOD SWINGS - RAGE. This stuff started for me almost right away. One minute, I’m fine. The next second, I’m losing my freaking mind. Case in point: I saw this magazine picture of a baby dressed up like a flower. That set me off, big time. I mean, who dresses up a baby like a flower? Now, a warrior I would totally get. I even have baby nunchaku on my registry. You can never get them started too early when it comes to projectiles in battle.
7. CRAZY ASS MOOD SWINGS - BALLING MY EYES OUT. So, that picture of the baby dressed up like a flower? Two days later, it set me off on a crying jag because okay, even if it wasn’t exactly helping the child learn to fight, it was pretty cute.
6. HUSBAND TROUBLE. In my case, my amazing husband got replaced by an evil body double, so I had to go to Earth and save my man. Total PITA. Read my book THRAX to find out what happens. (Hint: I win.)
5. LOVING PARENTS. I have some pretty awesome parents and in-laws (except Lincoln’s father, long story.) They are super excited about the baby and so supportive. Bonus!
4. OVERLY LOVING PARENTS. Item #5 is amazing until I get to the part where both sets of parents want us to live with them forever. They even built custom rooms next to theirs and everything. It’s way stifling, to say the least.
3. DOCTORS. For me, these folks were totally useless. Not much is known about supernatural pregnancies where you give birth to a Scala heir, aka the only being who can move souls to Heaven and Hell. Mostly, the doctors told me to try not to get constipated. Like I didn’t know that already. Sheesh.
2. HUSBAND AWESOMENESS. When my guy wasn’t getting kidnapped, he was a total sweetie who talked to my stomach and gave me foot rubs. Love you, Lincoln!
1. BABY! Pregnancy is totally worth it because after all of the above, I ended up with the cutest baby in the history of the after-realms and no, I’m not biased. My sweet Maxon is the best. Say anything else, and you’ve got a projectile in your future.

Angelbound Origins #4
Christina Bauer
Publication date: September 26, 2017
Genres: YA Paranormal Fantasy
Myla Lewis has married Prince Lincoln, and now they’re expecting! All the after-realms rejoice. Myla should be happy too, but she has a serious problem. The day after their honeymoon ended, Myla’s real husband disappeared.
The man who’s sharing her bed is an imposter.
Myla tries explaining about “Evil Lincoln,” but no one will listen. The reason? People think that Myla’s supernatural pregnancy is making her cray cray. Mostly because that’s what Evil Lincoln is telling everyone, and that man’s a great liar. What a creep.
There’s no way Myla will take this lying down, though. She’s going to rescue her man, and she has a pretty good idea where he’s being held. With her best friend, Cissy, along to help, Myla sneaks off to Earth. All she has to do is blend in with the humans, avoid Evil Lincoln, and find her real man before the baby arrives. How hard can it be?
