Starting The New Book
I’m starting a new book today. I began plotting it last week (and I use the term “plotting” loosely, believe me).
The good news is, for those of you who are fans of my Wild Riders series from Berkley, the book I’m starting is AJ and Pax’s book, so the question a lot of you have been asking has been answered: Yes, there will be a book for Pax and AJ, and I couldn’t be more excited about it! [image error]
The book is going to be titled Tempted, Tangled & Taken, which I know is a departure from the “Riding” tit

Snippet Saturday

Snippet Saturday is a bunch of authors getting together to showcase snippets of our work covering various themes.
Today’s theme is Fight Scenes. Yum. I love fight and action scenes. They really get the adrenaline going, and give an author a chance to show what the characters are made of. I’ve chosen a scene with Gina and Derek from Surviving Demon Island, the first book in my Demon Hunter series.

Happy Monday!
Is Happy Monday a contradiction in terms? Is there such a thing as Happy Monday? [image error]
For me there is, because the book from hell is done. Worked over the weekend and put the final touches on that baby. Now it’s finished. Finito. I’ve bid it adieu and it’s off to my editor. I won’t see it again for a while. Commence happy dancing! [image error]
I know there are some authors out there who are reluctant to say goodbye to a book, to leave the characters they’ve grown to love so much. Um…I’m not one of those authors

Snippet Saturday
[image error]
Today’s snippet is a First Kiss. Those are always so much fun, convey so much about a relationship. I’ve chosen the first kiss between Jessie and Diaz in RIDING TEMPTATION, one of my Wild Riders books from Berkley Heat.
[image error]
In this scene, Jessie has pushed Diaz to the very limit, and he’s had just about enough. [image error]
Hope you enjoy!
Jessie could tell Diaz was pissed because he kept coming at her, his face a tight mask of utter fury.
Never insult a guy’s manhood. Big, huge mistake.
Oh, shit. She skirted arou

See My Shame
My first drafts are heinous, the worst piece of shit writing ever. But when I’m editing them they at least provide a source of amusement.
Like this sentence, full of one hell of an epic dangling participle and a whopper of a typo:
Her abdomen quivered at the touch of his warm lips to her flesh, remembered what it felt like to have his moth down there
No, really. Don’t thank me. [image error]
