Super Excited!
What's even more exciting, is that people are actually buying my book! I can't believe it. I thought I would publish it and it would become lost in the large mass of Amazon romance novels, to never be read by a person other family.
So, THANK YOU! Thank you kind and wonderful people that are giving this newbie a chance! <3

RELEASE DAY!!!!!!
I'm so freakin' nervous, scared, and excited that I want to vomit, hide, and jump up and down--all at the same time. (Impossible and gross, I know.) This is a dream come true and I want to thank all of y'all for your encouragement, love, and support. <3
To my husband and children, family, and friends, thank you for putting up with me when I was writing down my "idea," for all your advice, and for believing in me.
To the betas that cringed their way through my first rough draft (and it was ROUGH) and to the people who've had the chance to read an ARC copy of my story, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules for me.
To everyone who will read my story, hate it, like it, love it--I want to thank you! Thank you for taking a chance on me. <3

4 Days Left Until Release!
HAPPY FRIDAY! My family and I wish everyone a beautiful and amazing weekend.
It's four days until Leap of Faith releases! I'm so freaking nervous it's not even funny. There are so many butterflies in my stomach and my heart races. My husband and friends have had to deal with my random mini-freak out sessions.
BUT...
I wouldn't change it for the world. In a few days my story will be available for the world to read. Yes, I'm nervous and scared people won't like it, and doubts are constantly going through my mind. But I'm trying to be brave--I want to tell my children that mommy wasn't afraid to follow her dreams. So when the time comes for them, I hope and pray that they too follow their dreams. It's a scary journey but so worth it.
Please keep your fingers crossed for me, but above all else, THANK YOU!

One Week!
My dream is coming a reality--thank you to my children (my husband was working and gone most of the time and they were the ones left behind to make sure mommy only exploded six eggs), my husband, my family, friends, and all the wonderful people who offered me their support.
One week until the release!!!!!! WHOOP!!!!

Almost time :-)
One, I ordered my proof for the paperback. Woohoo! My poor husband and Brandi were the ones I asked whether this or this looked better. I know they're happy that is over and done with. Now the wait...I'm impatiently waiting for that one little book to make it's way here to me. I'm waiting and waiting.
Two, I sent in the final manuscript to Amazon KDP. Now I'm sitting here with butterflies in my stomach wondering if everything was perfect...goodness, I sure do hope so.
It all feels like a dream. I can't believe it's actually happening...

Excerpt--Leap of Faith
His lips are covered in my wetness and when he moves to kiss me, I taste myself on him and I’m amazed at how much I like it. Never before have I done this—Jake would always wipe his mouth before kissing me—but Zane, he takes my mouth and owns it. Our tongues are swirling around each other and he takes my bottom lip between his teeth and bites me before leaning back to look at me.
“You like that, baby?” He asks me. I can’t even answer so I nod my head. “That’s only the beginnin’, love, and we have all night.”
He discards his clothes and quickly rolls on a condom, before pressing his body on mine. I can feel his hardness between my legs. If I move just right, his tip will be at my opening. He takes my mouth once more. He moves onto my shoulders and neck and starts all over again. My hands are in his hair, then I move them up and down his body. I use my nails on his back and when I reach his ass, I squeeze with just enough force to get his attention.
Zane looks into my eyes. “After this, Faith, there’s no turnin’ back. You’ll be mine forever and I’ll never let you go. You’ll belong to me, your body will belong to me, and only I will ever touch you again.”
