Cannons and Corsets
When writing the Timekeeper I discovered that women actually fought in the Civil War disguised as men. I have always been a Civil War buff. Love it all. So out of the research I was doing came Cannons and Corsets.
Raven is the heroine of the story. A free thinking, independent, young woman who grew up motherless in a household with eight brothers which helped mold her into the woman she becomes. A fighter. So as I wrap up Cannons and Corsets and prepare it for publishing. I am going to give away a little more detail about the book each day.

Wild
This is the third book in the Smoky Mountain Series. I loved Baker Wildfire in Never so he's coming back for his own book. You get to see what makes Baker tick. He and Makena loved each other as kids. He left for the military and came home a different man. He didn't want her to see his vulnerability. She didn't care. She still loved him. It gets really messy with the Russian mafia out of Asheville getting involved in Baker's father's life along with his friend Cage Lee. Makena will keep Baker on his toes, something the quiet man needs.
Russian Mafia, intrigue and always a little mystical magic.
I hope you love this book as much as I do.

Julius had to deal with his past before he could think of a future with Sasha. He had spent a lifetime with Jerrica. She had destroyed their relationship with drugs and other men. When she needed him though he couldn’t turn his back on her. He prayed Sasha would understand. He could only hope that Sasha would wait for him until Jerrica was well. Never should have given in to the passion.
Sasha could feel her life changing with every second the paramedics worked on Jerrica. She had seen the sorrow in Julius’s face. She knew it didn’t mean that he didn’t love her. What had happened between them was too special. Too intense to not be real, their happiness was shorter lived than even Sasha had anticipated. Her heart was broken. Never should have fallen in love.
Fate and the family bring them back together. Sasha has a secret. The more people who know the greater the risk Julius will find out. Trouble seems to follow them, preventing them from finding their happiness. Trouble and Jerrica. Never give up on each other.

Forever
My new series about the Smoky Mountains is live. Forever is available on Amazon.com.
Her long blonde hair tickled his face. He
rolled over and groaned. Her slender fingers on his bare chest excited him. Enticed him.
But she wasn’t trying to. She was desperate. Desperate for him. Desperate to touch him.
Was she real or a figment of Deacon Justice’s imagination? She felt pretty damn real right now. Her voice was soft and sweet as she spoke to him. He didn’t know who she was but she had been invading his dreams for months now. Preventing him from sleeping at night. Waking him with calls for help. He didn’t understand what she needed from him.
Selene Darsi knew him. Through time, again and again she recognized his soul. She had loved him. She needed his help. She invaded his dreams, reaching out to him. If only he would recognize her. Help her before it was too late.
They were forever joined. Never had found the happiness they deserved. This time needed to be different. This time they would have forever.
Watch for specials coming soon to Amazon.
