We all have a darker side. Nobody knows this better than Eva Mason. Her ancestors were hungry for ultimate power, and now she and her friends must pay the price for that greed.
Can you imagine feeling as if you don't belong in your own body? Life is hard when you don't know who you truly are, or what you are capable of.
Who can she trust, and who will end up betraying her?
Everything was changing, even herself and she could feel the influence of the Moon Goddess pushing her to the edge of her emotions, and if she didn't maintain some sort of balance; some sort of self control, she was afraid of tipping over the edge and losing herself. And she was scared that she would like it.
"Do not swear by the Moon, for she changes constantly. Then your love would also change." ~ William Shakespeare
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laura: What inspired
you to write?
Teresa: My imagination just wouldn't stop! I always had
vivid dreams, and I'd wake up saying "I need to write that down!"
Laura: What authors do
you read?
Teresa: Usually women authors now, but when I was younger,
it was Stephen King
Laura: What type of
books do you read?
Teresa: I usually read YA or romance. I still love anything
that gives you goosebumps though! I guess a little of everything!
Laura: Could you tell
us about yourself and your writing?
Teresa: Oh jeez! LOL. I hate talking about myself Well, my
writing: I try putting myself into the story. I love detail, and want the
reader swept away with all senses. Sight, sound, smell, taste, touch. I want
you to be in the story.
Teresa: I've always loved mythology. I want to write about myths and folklore that you maybe haven't read about before.
Teresa: I would describe Pyramid of the Moon as a little of
everything. It has romance, mystery, action. I try adding a bit of everything
without over doing it
Laura: Are your
characters inspired by anyone you know?
Teresa: Not really based on anyone specific. I picked names
I've always liked though. Like Eva, I wanted that to be my name when I got
older. And Colton, Baret, Rhys...sexy guy names!
Laura: When do some
of your next books get released?
Teresa: Marcus-Summer 2013
Sun and Moon Trilogy Book 2-Summer 2013
Sun and Moon Trilogy Book 3- Spring 2014
All She Wants- Spring 2013
Laura: What future
works are you working on?
Teresa: Well, I'm working on Pyramid of the Sun Book 2 in
the series. I'm also working on a vampire story that's different (hard to do).
It will be called, "Marcus". Also, an adult story named, "All
She Wants" and about 3 more!
Laura: What other books do you have out?
Teresa: LOL. I have a short story out on Amzon called
"Black Widow Rose" It's not edited professionally, and I basically
wrote it for fun. It was a personal goal.
Laura: How do you come up with the plots? Do they write themselves, do you use an
outline? How do you work on the plots?
Teresa: I never do an outline, because the story never stays
on course!!! Sometimes, the characters write themselves!! LOL.
Laura: Where can the fans reach out to you?

Laura: Goals for 2013?
Teresa: My goals for 2013...hmm. To buy a big house for all
my girls, have Pyramid of the Moon win an award, and give each one of my girls
a huge bank account with the money. Also, go on vacation with my family to
Germany where my family is from.

This review is from: Pyramid of the Moon (sun and moon trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
This is a brilliant first novel for this debut author.
After being seperated from her two best friends as a young
child, Eva soon learns that they have returned to town. Meet the handsome
smartass Baret and the sweetheart, Colton. Eva soon discovers that she was born
to be the vessel for a powerful aztec moon goddess and chosen as the other half
to Colton's sun God. They are soul mates. But they can never truely be together
until an ancient ritual is performed.
This novel is gripping, and dripping in dream sequences
about Eva's past as an Aztec Moon Goddess. I couldn't help but stay up until
midnight each night to finish it! Cannot wait for the Pyramid of the Sun!

The Power of Possesion, December 14, 2012
This review is from:
Pyramid of the Moon (sun and moon trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
What an amazing story! From beginning to end Pyramid of the
Moon takes you on an incredible journey. The characters just as exciting, from
the moment you meet Eva you know right away that she is no ordinary teenage
girl no matter how hard she tries. I became so captivated by her that felt her
power and her struggles. I felt as though I was in her shadow through out the
story.
As much as I would love to go over every detail of this book
I can not. I won't spoil it for any who have not read it yet. I will tell you
that this is one book that I recommend if you are even slightly interested in
YA Fantasy. Pyramid of the Moon is everything it promises and more. I am so
taken in by the power it possess that I have read it twice just to make sure I
caught every detail, that and I am desperate for the next in the series.
My praises go out to Teresa Smith as she has written a very
powerful book here. So if You want to get caught up in some ancient power and a
little romance I highly recommend you go pick up a copy and soon!

Great Read!, December 13, 2012
This review is from: Pyramid of the Moon (sun and moon trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
I was given the opportunity to receive an advance copy of
this book from the author to read and give an honest review. Honestly, I have
to say...this book is fantastic! The very first chapter reeled me in with
curiosity. The author is very detailed in her words, she creates a virtual
movie in your mind with the description of each aspect of the story right down
to the clothes the characters are wearing. One scene was so descriptive, I had
to put the book down for a moment to recover from the creep factor of it! The
characters are well developed, yet have an air of mystery about them. You can
feel Eva's emotions as she burns with desire for her love, the heat between the
two is immense! Colton makes you swoon and jump for joy any time he is involved
in a scene. Baret's snarky comments are comic relief. Both men are wonderfully
written and sound like the perfect set of male companions for any girl to have
in their life. The story gives you enough background to peak your interest, but
still leaves questions unanswered that make you anxious for the next book. The
ending had me searching my Kindle for the rest of the book because I wanted to
know what was going to happen next! My only complaint, it ended too soon, I
want more! Looking forward to Book 2 of this series!

Dark and Beautiful Book that will keep you guessing!, December 4, 2012
This review is from:
Pyramid of the Moon (sun and moon trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
This is one of those books that can make or break your
resolve to sleep. It is extremely well written and intelligent! That's the
difference between this novel and some others that I have run across. This one
has the action, of course, but the intelligence of the characters, and the
author, is evident when you crack the book open.
Eva's life has taken a turn for the...well...the crazy.
Everything changes so quickly for her, especially when she begins to feel this
undeniable connection with super hottie Colton. There's also his brother, but
that's more a brother/sister thing going on. Eva finds out that she has the
Moon Goddess within her. Literally.
Now, I refuse, REFUSE!, to give away too many details.
There's no way that I can sum up this book in such a short time. For now, just
know this: the mythology, lore, and back story that is expertly weaved within
these pages will keep you strapped to your seat. If you are a fan of action, a
wee bit of romance, and some truly evil people, well...this is the book for
you. As I said, EXCELLENT book! This is one of those that you seriously don't
want to miss out on.
From the moment that I began reading this book I was utterly
speechless. There is that air of mystery and intrigue that readers love, but
there was something else; something more. This is not one of those cookie
cutter books that have the tried and true love triangle and angst filled teen
girl. This is a mature book written by a woman who really knows how to spin a
tale. There is no other way to say it but this is one of those books that will stay
in your head until it drives you mad waiting for the next one!
I love the mythology that surrounds the story and the detail
in which the author brings to life a world that is so close to our own, and yet
different. The female protagonist, Eva, is head strong and vibrant, never dull
and annoying. There is no comparison to other books in this genre. Her male
leads are opposite of each other and yet compliment each other extremely well.
The cast of characters work well together and help the story progress throughout
the book.
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, simply
because of the unique story line and different plot lines. Also, the wording
isn't lessened just to draw in other readers. There is an air of intelligence
within this book that you won't find in a lot of YA books. You're doing
yourself a favor by picking this one up! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I
did!
(This book was given to me for an honest review)

Absolutely A Must Read!!!, December 4, 2012
This review is from:
Pyramid of the Moon (sun and moon trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
What can I say. Words escape me. The characters, the plot,
the intensity, the dynamic scenes, just everything about this book will hold
your attention which is important to me. From beginning to end I was just lost
in the characters and their moments. It's different, it's fast going, and it
left me demanding book 2 lol. I am being selfish and demanding book 2 from the
author. I will be following Teresa Smith for now on. She did a great job with
description of every detail. You won't go wrong reading this book. It's a must
read for sure.
