Synopsis
of Incredible Dreams by S.E. Felida
"Leona, a woman in her late twenties who has been
dreaming about a guy that she doesn't know finally sees him in real life one
day, but she doesn't approach him out of bizarreness of the whole situation and
that leaves her with an feeling of missed opportunity, so when life gives her a
second chance she grabs it with both hands.
Nathaniel, a police officer who's been on a hunt to find his brother's killer for over a year now turns out to be a dreamguy in real life too, and while things are going great between the two of them, Leona's long life friendship with her dear friend Naomi isn't.
Resenting the thought of having to choose between the two of them she and her two friends Alyssa and Alexandra come up with an idea to whisk Naomi away for a little holiday in the hopes that after they'd spend some quality time together things would finally go back to the way it used to be, but it doesn't and when Marcus, Naomi's current boyfriend who followed them out there confesses something to Leona that she really wished he hadn't, she keeps finding it harder and harder to even look her best friend in the eyes without feeling like the worst friend ever....."

My
Review
Wowza! Where do I even
begin?! 4.5 stars of hotness and suspense! There are so many secrets and so
much suspense that I still don’t even know what’s going on. I love Leona’s personality and how the author
explains her background showing why she is the way she is. The book is written
mostly from Leona’s POV, but sometimes switches to other characters POVs which
I like and helps you understand what’s going on at that specific point in time.
This is an awesome romantic suspense novel, but holy cliffhanger batman! I can’t
wait for the next book!! :) ~Kendra

Teaser
I woke a few hours later with someone’s hand on my
throat, I thought that it was Nathaniel trying to seduce me for make-up sex,
but before I got the chance to tell him I still wasn’t in the mood, it started
choking me. They were getting tighter and tighter, blocking my airway so I
couldn’t breathe. My eyes started to tear up and my vision went blurry, I had
to struggle to even keep them open.
My room was almost pitch black, but a sliver of light shined through my bedroom door and gave me a glimpse of my attacker. I stared at the woman and was sure that the lack of oxygen was making me delusional, it couldn’t be her. My attacker could not be Naomi, not my best friend. Not my sister.
Tears poured down my cheeks as I realized I was right. I wasn’t dreaming or going crazy and I couldn’t understand it. The room started spinning and I felt like I was going to pass out.
Seconds later, Alex and Alyssa ran into the room to investigate the commotion. Nate was trying to pull her off, but she somehow seemed to be stronger than him. Alex was crying at her to stop but she wouldn’t budge, she just stared at me with an unfamiliar anger in her eyes. The same anger we saw earlier at the club. Pulling and shouting at her clearly wasn’t working, so Alyssa grabbed Nathaniel’s stun gun from his jacket pocket and shot volts of electricity through our friend. She instantly fell to the floor, unconscious.
No one had seen her reach for the gun, so the severity of the action shocked us all. Alyssa dropped to the floor and leaned over the still body. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you, I didn’t know what to do. Please forgive me, wake up.” She sobbed.
I'm 30 years old and I live in Holland with my husband and
our three amazing sons, I am a student/parttime teachers assistent and I work
with children from the age of 4 till 6. I've always loved to read books and to
write short stories and poetry. In my spare time you can find me in the
kitchen, on the soccer fields to watch my sons play, reading, writting or
having a girls night out with my lovely ladies... If you want to keep in touch
with me you can look me up on facebook, My page name is S.E Felida. You can
also befriend and/or fan me here on goodreads. It's always nice to meet new
people.

Interview
1. Where
are you from?
I was born in Curaçao,
a small Island in the Caribbean but I’m currently living in Holland.
2. Can
you tell us a little about your family?
I’m married to the
love of my life and we have three wonderful sons of the ages 11, 7 and 1.
We don’t have any
pets but my oldest son wants a dog, I told him that we’d think about it and hey
who knows maybe Santa will surprise him with a puppy this year * wink…wink*
3. Do
you have to travel over the Holidays?
Yes, we usually go to
France this time of the year to visit Disneyland Paris with the kids. It’s so
beautiful over there in December with all the Christmas lights and shows…I loveee
it.
4. When
you aren’t writing, what do you like to do with your time?
When I’m not writing,
working or studying you can find me in the kitchen exercising my second
passion, I loveee to cook. On Saturday mornings you can find me on the soccer
fields to watch my oldest son’s soccer matches, I’m a real soccer mom. And last
but not least having a good old fashioned ladies night with my lovely friends.
5. When
and why did you begin writing?
I began writing short
stories and poetry at the age of eleven, I’ve always loved to read books and
growing up in a house full of brothers who always wanted to watch sports and
play video games I would lock myself for hours in my bedroom to read…now don’t
get me wrong I love watching sports and play video games as well but sometimes
I just needed some privacy being the only girl in the house and all, so I
started reading books at a young age and fell in love with it ever since.
6. What
inspired you to write your first book?
That would be a
mixture of all the books I’ve ever read growing up.
7. Do
you have a specific writing style?
I like to think that
you’ll get a bit of everything reading my books, but if I had to give it a name
my writing would fit into the erotic, romance suspense novels category.
8. What
are you reading right now?
I’m currently reading
Vendetta by Autumn Karr and Sienna Lane, it’s a great read and it’s set to be
released December 17th so keep an eye out for it!!!
9. Who
are some of your favorite authors?
Stephen King, J.K.
Rowling, Nicci French, Waris Dirie, Sylvia Day, E.L James, C.C. Brown and lots
and lots more…too much for me to mention right now.
10. Is
there a particular movie that you preferred over the book version?
Well, I wouldn’t say that
I prefer the movie over the books but I do have a Harry Potter addiction, I’ve
watched all the movies like fifty times already.
11. Do
you prefer ebooks or paperbacks?
Both actually, but if
I really, really had to choose then I would have to say paperbacks.
12. Where’s
your favorite place to write?
In the living room
with the TV or the radio on for some music.
13. What
music are you listening to at the moment?
Marry Me by Jason
Derulo
14. What
is something you hate doing? Why?
Attending funerals,
I’ve been to one too many over the last couple of years.
15. Where
does the inspiration for your characters come from?
I really don’t know,
they just popped into my mind when I started writing this story.
16. What
are your quirky habits?
I have the tendency
to smell my food, I’ll literally hold my food just a few mere inches away from
my nose and smell it, and let me just say that, that doesn’t sit well with a
everyone ‘cause I’ve gotten more than a few raised eyebrows over the years but
I can’t help it. I’ve been doing it ever since I was little and it kind of
stuck with me, the second one would have to be that I need to check the house
at least four or five times before I leave…I don’t know where that one came
from but it annoys the hell out of my husband when he’s in a rush to leave lol.
17. Any
advice for other authors?
Follow yours dreams
and always believe in yourself no matter what others might think of you and don’t
let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do…only you know what you’re capable
of, so if you really want something than gooo for it !!!
18. Is
there anything you want to tell your readers?
I’d like to thank
them for all the love and support I’ve received over these last couple of
months, I never expected any of it…so thank you for reading my book and for
loving it.
19. When
can we expect Book #2 of the Dreams Series?
Book two which is
called Irrational Behavior will be released the end of this month.
20. Can
you tell us a little bit about what you are currently working on?
I’m working on book
three, the last book of the Dreams Series and on another project that I can’t
wait to share with ya’ll…It’s called The Puppet Master and it’s an erotic,
romance thriller.
