What I did last weekend

Because you need to see what my backyard looks like. Two hours drive from home. Summit Lake campground. Hubby fished, I kayaked and hung out. Ahhh…

The battle for Supremacy continues…

…or at least the battle for who gets to decide what we watch on TV tonight.

Yes, it's time to pick a side, folks–Moira Rogers has thrown down the bloody steak between the rival groups and now we're telling the world which we think are better–Vamps or Werewolves. Only, drat it all, she cheated. Because most people who know me (hello, I write about wolfies!!) would correctly assume that Werewolves WIN WIN WIN in an instant, no questions asked. I mean…do you need visuals?

'nough said.

But THEN...

Whhheeeee!

Looky! August 10 from Samhain!!!

Soft shoulders and dangerous curves…

Forces of Nature, Book 2

Braden can't deny he's always wanted Chelsea, but getting involved wouldn't be fair. She has college and big dreams ahead of her—he has no desire to leave Jaffrey's Cove. Plus, there's the fact merfolk women often take more than one lover. Share her? Not in this lifetime.

When Chelsea's plans for the future fall apart, the only bright spot remaining is Sheriff Braden Marley. She's been angling for a...

Snippet Saturday-love this one!

Ahhh, snippet Saturday, I've missed you!

For my new followers, Snippet Saturday is the brainchild of the awesomeness that is Lauren Dane. She came up with the wonderful idea to help us pass a little time every Saturday with authors sharing a snippet from one of their books based on a theme. Exactly how the theme is interpreted is up to the poster–for example one week the theme was Salute to other Artists, and some people posted the playlists of music they listened to while writing, some...

Coming soon

I've gotten word for the release date for Fired Up.

June 28

Wheeee!!!

This story is another co-written between Celia Kyla and myself. This one is a little more fantasy, less free for all than Peerless. It's got an air fae and a firekin who are both now residents of Strange Hollow– a town where the people aren't quite what you'd expect. This is a part of a multiple author project from Liquid Silver books.

I'm looking forward to sharing more about the book as the day gets closer.

And let's see...

Mini Rant-warning

So–time for a mini-rant. This isn't about anyone person in particular, but about an attitude that makes me crazy. Remember those books and the teaching "I'm okay, you're okay"? There's a new one out there that keeps popping up.

"I'm right, you suck."

Lol! Have you seen this one lately? Not only in politicians, but in the grocery store and on the street. I'm of the mind set that there are issues that are black and white, but there's also a lot of grey out there. There are things that are...

Looking for ideas-story title

So I mentioned yesterday that I've outlined books 2 and 3 to follow up Stormchild. Book 3 is called Silent Storm but I don't have a title in place for book 2 yet.

I'd love to have another 'storm' in there, and another 'S' word. I bounced a few ideas around with a friend a while ago, but none of them are sitting properly. The goal is for all three books to be put together in a print anthology down the road.

Let's see, what else can I tell you? The second and third books are both about Laurin...
