 Darkness Lurks Book One
 Emily McPhee has struggled to overcome her father’s death... 
It’s not easy, but Emily finally has the life she wants. She’s an A student at Orange University and has a comfortable home and a great circle of friends. She’s also in love with handsome Orange PD officer Seth Connors. He doesn’t seem to return her feelings, though, so she tells herself his friendship is enough. 
Jimmy Lasko is a psychopath, and Emily is his greatest obsession… 
Lasko knows what he wants—what he deserves—and has the deadly skills and unending patience to get it. What he wants is Emily, and he is watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. That time is coming soon; he’ll make sure of it. 
A sense of unease settles on Emily, but is the danger real or imagined? 
When Emily begins hearing noises and suspects someone has been in her house, Seth urges her to get a roommate. But after a search, she realizes a certain attractive cop would be the perfect choice, and Seth moves in. 
Seth loves Emily, but fears his feelings might make it difficult to protect her. 
In all areas of his life, Seth sees himself as a protector. He’s determined to keep Emily safe, but he pushes the captivating blonde away in an attempt to stay objective. However, after her stalker makes a failed attempt to capture her, Seth can no longer deny his feelings. 
With help from Seth’s police colleagues, he and Emily set out to identify the person hunting her before it’s too late. But is it worth the risk to bait the trap with what he wants most? 
Book Three to be released October 13th!!

Including my recent top secret project I just started...I will be posting my word count progress. My goal is somewhere between 80-90K words. I still have lots of words to go!

I will be revealing the cover for TRUTH OR DARE this Tuesday!!!

Back In Action

My children are back in school! Bring on some serious writing. Nothing can stop me now...well except for all the other things I need to get done during the day...

Though it is nice to have quiet to sit down and put some thoughts together for a few hours.

My house is sooo quiet!

Yesterday was actually the first day back at school for the boys but I had a bunch of things that needed to be done, I was running around the entire day.

Since I have started the whole publishing process with my first book, Alluring Song, I have put a lot of work and money into this whole endeavor. Though I have not made any profit to date I am hoping that I will eventually reach a point where that changes. It seems like forever away but so did finding a publisher and that happened... so I will continue working away!

There is sooo much more to writing than putting a good book out there. There is a lot of marketing involved. Your product is only as good as your marketing...this explains why I fell on my face for Alluring Song despite the wonderful reviews it got.

Thank god my husband loves me because I am investing so much time into something that has yet to prove profitable. He is a business man and I have a feeling that he is just shaking his head at me and wondering why I do this. Truthfully...I have no idea. The crazy things we do for love!!

Who needs money anyway ;)

Ready To Take On The World

Yesterday I dropped my first baby off in another province to start her university experience.
I won't get to see her now until Thanksgiving.
I am so excited for her...but I miss her already.

It is so strange to think that she is now off on her own. For the last eighteen years we have been together and now she is taking the reins of her life and heading in her own direction.
I'm so proud of her. She is a determined young woman.

As much as it is hard to let go, it is a wonderful day when your child heads off with a bright future ahead.

WOW!...busy

The end of the summer has been a bit of fun crazy. We decided last minute to spend last weekend unplugged and rented a cottage for a weekend of swimming, fishing, canoeing and campfires. It was lovely to get away BUT now I am trying to get everything in order...

I just finished dying my daughters hair purple...yes purple. We are getting her ready to take to school this weekend. I am dropping her off with the hopes that she will survive the next few years of university. I'm terrified!

I am currently attempting to organize my own tours, and promotions for my new book coming out this fall "Truth or Dare". Normally an author would pay a PR tour company to organize these events. Since I had put so much money into my first self-published book, Alluring Song, without properly marketing it I am attempting to do this stage of the process myself. I may realize I am insane by the end of this...
Since I am a stay-at-home mother, I cannot justify investing more money at this stage because I have no idea what the future holds. At least now I have someone to help guide me along the way if I have any questions, the lovely team at Limitless Publishing.
This is a very time consuming and tedious process. Yikes!

I am also trying to squeeze in some time for my new book. I miss you writing!! Unfortunately a huge part of being an author is marketing your book which tends to be anti-productive to writing.
I also have a bunch of paintings I need to get done as well...
I am looking forward to getting back on to a regular schedule when my boys go back to school next week.

A Few Minutes To Spare

Today was a busy day of groceries and back to school preparations. I am just sitting down for a few minutes while my children are watching a movie to see if I can get a few more words written on my newest project.

It is in the very beginning stages and until my children go back to school on Sept.8th, I only get a few minutes here and there to sit down. Not a lot of time to get my head in the game.

BUT since I have already set the ball into motion it is hard for me to set it aside and not think about it. So until Sept.8th, when I will have time to be productive, I have to swim against the current.

I cannot give you a lot of details about what I am currently working on other than the fact that it is my first attempt at a series. It will be a romance suspense...I believe. At least that is what it is currently formulating as in my head. Only time will tell :)

Playing With My Paints

This is completely unrelated to my writing but painting is another love of mine.
It had been awhile since I had a paintbrush in my hand. Yesterday I decided to have some fun!
This is the result :)

Oh...Tea

How I love thee.
If only you'd stay hot and endless in my cup, our relationship would be perfect.
