Sticky Sweet

GingerbreadLatteI am not a patient person. Especially in the kitchen. Not when I’m hungry and want to eat Right. Now.

One thing this year that I’ve started making is my own syrups for coffee. Mainly for iced coffee in the summer, but with fall, my favorite drink is a Gingerbread latte. Starbucks doesn’t start selling it (usually) until Thanksgiving, but again, there’s that not patient thing I’ve got going on.

So, I opt for making my own. I’ve made Vanilla Bean syrup and Caramel Vanilla syrup as well as strai...

Snarkology Halloween Hop

Snarkology Halloween Blog Hop 2015

Welcome to my blog and welcome to the Snarkology Halloween Hop!

I’m having a hard time accepting that it’s already the end of October and the wicked holiday season is nearly upon us. That scares me more than any ghost or goblin or scary campfire story ever could!

But, October is also one of the months I look forward to most. Not for Halloween. But because it’s right in the middle of Fall and college football is just getting good! Most teams have worked out the majority of their kinks and it’...

ShadowsInSavannahFINAL

Pre-Order Now!

ARe_buylink

Shadows In Savannah comes out this Thursday. October 1st. As part of All Romance eBooks A Wicked Tale series. And I thought I’d give you a sneak peak…

He was hard. He was always hard when he woke, as most human men were from what he’d heard over the years, but his hardness, his stiff erection wasn’t painful. Even when tight and standing straight, his balls full and drawn up close to his body, he wasn’t in pain. It was a sensation akin to… To… He didn’t know. He didn’t have th...

Werebears Like Donuts, Too

I have written a new Kindle Worlds story in the Southern Shifters world. It is a continuation of Gus and Bex’s story which began in Ink To Bear. In this new title, questions from Bex’s past arise and secrets are revealed that even I didn’t know until recently… There will be a book 3, as well, coming in late October.

Enjoy!

Temptation Tuesday – Werebears Anyone?

SouthernShiftersCoversBanner

I’m in the process of writing a second Southern Shifters novella for Eliza Gayle’s Southern Shifters Kindle World. I don’t usually drop everything else, or push other things back in order to work unexpected stories in, but this werebear did better than any other paranormal I’ve written, so while it was still doing fairly well, I figured I’d give in to the urging of readers, and Eliza, and The Blackraven, and try to get one out…

September 17th will be the next one… That’s right around the cor...

Music Monday – For The Longest Time

This song has been stuck in my head for days. Now, it’s out there with you. Maybe I’ll get a little bit of a reprieve until the next song embeds itself… It’s funny how it happens out of the blue, like that. It’s been happening to me a lot lately. I’m not sure why. A lot of older songs, 60’s and 70’s songs, some 80’s, but mostly from before. I love them all, but it makes me wonder what my brain is trying to tell me…

How Do You Take Your Coffee?

The Tattooed Barista

READ AN EXCERPT

Peg heard ringing in her ears and a cough, then a sputter as though someone were choking. Her vision was hazy, but she could make out Samuel sitting with his hip on the edge of his desk, coffee dribbling down his chin. She should go over and help him, because the woman dabbing a napkin on his shirt was making it worse. Only, Peg couldn’t seem to move.

Her feet were rooted to the floor and the arm around her waist was vice-like in its tightness. That wa...

Cover Reveal: Shadows In Savannah

ShadowsInSavannahFINAL

Starting in October, I will be joining the All Romance Books Publishing arm as an author. This is the first time I’ve had the chance to write a story and publish through them and I’m pretty excited about it.

Shadows In Savannah is a M/M vampire novella set in, Savannah. I’ve taken the usually rules of vampires as I’ve read them and watched them, and totally upended them to my purpose and love the world that I’ve started creating with this story.

As soon as I have a blurb, a concrete release...
