Well, it’s been an eventful few weeks. The kids were out last week for spring break and will be out one more week. I really like having them around but not having alone time makes writing a challenge. Still, I’m pluggin’ along. I’m still working on Good Girls Don’t as well as the second round of edits for Rude Awakening.

Rude Awakening was written over a period of four years. It was all put together very haphazardly. My grammar and punctuation skills are sadly lacking. So the first round was really tough. This go round isn’t as intense but there’s still a lot of work to be done. I’m learning a lot. I find myself enjoying the process. I'm just thrilled to be writing again.

Dragon’s Reign was not accepted but I haven’t given up hope for it. I will be reworking it in hopes that I can find a home for it out there somewhere. I believe in the characters and the story, I’m not willing to shelve it quite yet.

I think I’ve become addicted to Twitter, especially since I found Christopher Walken through a friend. I’ve even downloaded TweetDeck. That was probably a bad idea considering the fact that in tweets at me when someone posts a new tweet. I have to go see what they’ve said. I just can’t resist.

I’m still working on my tired little website. I just got FrontPage, now to figure out how to use it. I probably won’t be able to devote a whole lot of time to it until I get finished with my edits and Good Girls Don’t. Well, back to work for me. See y’all next time!

Love!

Welcome Everybody..

I'm fairly new to the whole blogging thing. Please bear with me as I learn the ropes. LOL

Okay here's what's goin' on with me: Rude Awakening has been accepted by Samhain Publishing . It's in edits now and is slated to be released this summer. I'll be sure and keep you updated on a spacific date.

Rude Awakening Blurb

Jaimee Turner lost her husband to a freak car accident due to an unexpected heart attack while on a business trip less than a year ago. Finally she’s back on a relatively even keel thanks to a little help from her very vivacious and domineering friend Maxine. She’s feeling better physically and emotionally than she ever has. Even so she never expected attention from a man like Lucas, nor did she expect him to awaken in her desires and needs that she had tried so hard and long to deny.

Undercover FBI agent Lucas Grayson isn't the desk jockey type. The last thing he wants is a boring assignment tailing a connected man's widow. That is until he discovers this smart, sexy, doggedly determined vixen is anything but boring. He finds himself intrigued, not only by her lush curves and untapped smoldering sensuality but her generosity of spirit and strength of character. Nevertheless Lucas knows his job and intends to extract the information they need to bust The Collective and keep Jaimee Turner safe from them in the process. Even if he can't save her from the devastating betrayal she will have to face when it was all over.


I've just finished a novella, Dragon's Reign, and submitted it to Samhain for an upcoming anthology. I'm crossing my fingers on that one. :-)


Dragon’s Reign Blurb

The death of Sarrae Fallon’s brother at the hands of a dragon leaves her alone and unprotected in a world that doesn’t value strength in females. But Sarrae is no ordinary woman. Besides her ability to read hearts she is strong, determined and craves her independence. She is more that determined to do what it takes to protect herself without help from anyone. Not even the dark man with the silver eyes that demands she wed him.

Kieran only sees it one way. Things are not as simple as Sarrae would like to believe. It was by his hand that the oracle, Gabriel Fallon died. Therefore Sarrae was his responsibility. He finds himself enamored by her enthusiasm and strength of spirit, aroused by her unrestrained passion. If she can accept the dragon in him they just might find a bond, unbreakable and fiery, against a rising threat of evil.


I have another novella in the works right now. I'll give you more information on that one once it's finished. I will post an excerpt of Rude Awakening soon so be sure and check back.

Love!
