About this author
As many of you know I have not updated ANYTHING lately. I do tweet now and then, but not much more than a few times a week. There are many reasons for that, so I will fill you in a bit.
I have been working on the sequel to Tempus for a year. It has been an on and off struggle for many reasons. The first reason is that my husband and I own a business and we were busier last year than we have ever... read more »

Tempus is one of the most interesting and strong concepted books I'v ever read. Especially the whole time travel thing (love it!!). The cover is good enough. This was my first historic romance novel, and I don't think I could get anything better!!...

This book was outstanding. One of my best reads so far this year. The premise was fresh and the characters adored. A perfect example of reader manipulation. I shared every second of frustration and confusion Jessie did followed by that sweet satis...

What an amazing story!! I've always been fascinated with time travel, but some stories can get bogged down with science behind. I do find that interesting, but the characters can sometimes get lost in that aspect. I love that Tyra doesn't lose foc...

Can't wait for the next one. I keep checking amazon every week looking for "Arcanus" to be out! I'm dying to find out what happens next, especially with Jessie and her mother!
Sanette wrote: "When is Arcanus coming out? I cannot wait!"I am so sorry I missed your earlier message! As for this question, I do not have a release date yet. I am working a couple of angles on the sequel and then will decide which will be the finished product. The thing that most people mentioned loving about Tempus was the relationship between Jessie and Gabriel. Secondary was the time travel/abilities. I wanted book two to be more about the secondary things, but I don't want to disappoint those who were looking for more romance. I am writing more than one version of many scenes, so it is taking a lot longer than I originally anticipated. Hopefully I will be able to take the best of both versions in the end and release something everyone can enjoy.
Please feel free at any time to send me messages. I LOVE to hear other peoples ideas and theories. I have had interesting experiences which were incorporated into the story, and I have learned so many interesting things while researching for both books. I wish I could share it all because I find it all so fascinating!
Thank you so much for your kind words and interest in both Tempus and Arcanus. I will try to update when I am closer to a release date!
Tyra
Thanks for adding me! Your book is awesome, your theories on time and energy are amazing and something I really identified with as it was close to what I believe about the universe and the life that inhabits it's planets. The romance between Jessie and Gabriel was one of the most intense relationships I have read about so far, in fact I had to reread the last chapter again today just to feel that passion again. I loved it.I'm also eager to talk to anyone who is a fan of The Discovery of Witches. I have read the book 7 times. I was so excited when I discovered she spent the summer not far from my house writing book two.
I am really looking forward to your second book! Thanks again for the add.
I saw you were on earlier. I sent you a message. Reply when you can because it is bothering me so much I can't stand it.
Okay, now I'm really curious!! I'll take my nook with me to the beach and pamper myself with more Jessie\Steve charming love :-) I really can't wait! I'll let you know once I'm done :-)

Hi Tatiana! Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Isn't Steve a sweetheart? After you finish the book, I'll have to tell you a story about Steve. :D
Tyra! What a delicious first three chapters! I can't wait to see what'll happen next :)Though I must say I'm rooting for Steve...
Tatiana wrote: "I'm so happy for you!When is the second one coming out?"
My self-imposed deadline is January 2012. I hope to finish sooner, but I am a perfectionist with my writing. I edit, then I edit, and then I edit some more, lol.

I'm so happy for you!
When is the second one coming out?
Tatiana wrote: "Tyra! Congrats on the raving ratings! Now I can't wait to read Tempus :)"Thank you, Tatiana! The response has been better than I ever hoped for, and the positive response means more to me than I can express. I also have the Ylem on my TBR list, and will let you know as soon as I get to read it!
Carrie wrote: "So as I was reading Tempus, I kept trying to picture Gabriel..."ROFL. Those are both good choices for his appearance! I have the advantage of knowing exactly what he looks like (lol) but it is fun to know what others picture.
So as I was reading Tempus, I kept trying to picture Gabriel...this is who I had in mind
because if I didn't picture him, I kept picturing...
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2116419/
Do you know him? It's the guy from Wizards of Waverly Place and he plays a werewolf with an english accent, but not nearly sexy enough for Gabriel...so I was determined to come up with someone else (see above)!
Just thought I'd share!!

I know exactly what you mean about books you want to read getting jumbled, I have stacks of paperbacks and tons of ebooks just waiting to be read while I'm working on the sequel to Tempus, running a business, raising a family, and trying to keep my sanity, lol. One thing about my crazy life is there is never a dull moment, and I mean n.e.v.e.r! It was great to hear from you and I look forward to your review in the future. Please "stop by" and say hi any time!
Tyra
Thanks for emailing my Tyra! I had to double back and see which book it was that you wrote, but as soon as I saw it I remembered. There have just been so many books that I want to read that sometimes they just get jumbled. I have only heard good things about your book, so as soon as I do have a chance to read it I will definitely let you know what I think. Thanks so much for reaching out to me. That was very awesome and gives you more points in my book! Hope to hear from you sometime again!
