Tuesday Tease

Welcome back to the Tuesday Tease! I hope you’ve had an awesome week! I finally sent Evanescent off to the editor yesterday and she should have it back to me in two weeks. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer after that.
ETHEREAL KNIGHTS  finally hit B&N~! Yay!!!!!! *cries a little* I really hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Marshall is miffed he wasn’t in it. He demands a POV.  (The book is slowly grafting over to iBookstore. So sorry for the wait.) 
Elysian~! Oh the sexual tension, the angst, the all out hatred toward Chloe. It all ends. Well, maybe not the general feelings toward Chloe, but the rest of it does. ;) I’m getting close to penning the end. My goal is this week or next, but whatever happens I want to do it right. Things are on track, and the book isn’t crazy long (yet) so all is looking good.  To the teasers~!
EVANESCENT (The Countenance trilogy 2)
Laken is visiting Cooper’s house with plans to spend the night. *Cooper’s point of view
“I’ll get you some blankets. You like your pillow soft or hard?” A smile tugs on my lips when I say it. It seems like everything turns into sexual banter with her, with or without any effort. Laken seems to pull the dirty perv out of me without trying. “Soft or hard?” She mouths the words with a river of laughter bubbling from her chest. “I don’t plan on sleeping down here, Coop. I very much plan on sleeping right next to you.”
ELYSIAN (Celestra Series Book 8) The final book in the young adult series.
*(Lizbeth holding baby Beau in the kitchen with Tad, Gage, and Skyla. Lizbeth and Tad are heading out of town for the weekend. The baby is markedly fussy.)
“What’s happening?” My heart rate spikes and I’m halfway ready to get the fire extinguisher just to put myself at ease.“He’s going number two,” Mom says, plucking off his cute baby jeans and fiddling with the tabs on his diaper. “I’ve got him on elimination communication—you know, going over the toilet.”Dear God. How old is he? Two, three, months?“Look”—she snips over at me—“don’t let things get out of control for once.” She leans into Gage. “You’re welcome to spend the night if you like.” She winks a smile as if she’s flirting. “Downstairs, on the couch of course.” She waves to me. “Be good!”“Spend the night?” Tad snaps up Beau’s clothes from the ground as he trails Mom to the bathroom. “Just how many grandkids do you think you can strap to your back, Lizbeth?” I give an uncomfortable smile to Gage. Every awkward moment I’ve had with this boy has been compliments of Tad and my mother. “So?” He presses out one of his signature dimpled grins, and my insides boil with lust. “How many grandkids should we give her?”

The Tuesday Tease

Here we are again! Welcome to the Tuesday Tease~!
BIG thank you to those who have read, enjoyed, and reviewed ETHEREAL KNIGHTS. I’m so very happy that you’re enjoying the Oliver boys!!! I told you they were naughty~
To my Nook customers, I’m so sorry for the bizarre delay! *cries a little* I have sent seven emails to B&N only to receive 2 form letters back. Although, I'm still hopeful that this hiccup will be resolved quickly. *prays* Unfortunately they don’t have a number for their uploading site like they do for end users so I’m at the mercy of their support team. I’m very anxious to get this resolved. I've had several readers let me know they picked up the free Kindle app for their phone and purchased through Amazon, also several readers have purchased direct from Smashwords. I’m going to see if there’s a way to distribute the epub file straight from my website so it will still load to your Nook but we can get the books to you as soon as they're available to Amazon customers. I think it's only fair. I’ll be looking into apps for that all day so if anyone knows of one I’d love to hear about it. I hope to figure this out before ELYSIAN is ready to hit the e-shelves.
Onto the books!
SOMEONE LIKE YOU: This is the follow-up book to SOMEONE TO LOVE.This is Morgan and Ally’s story. (Kendall’s brother and her BFF). It’s written and patiently waiting for edits but I wanted to share it’s existence with you. Morgan is hawt. Think Gage with tattoos.  
EVANESCENT: So close to turning this in to my editor!!! I’m shooting for Friday. *crosses fingers and toes* I’d love to make this a March release but if not, early April for sure. I think it is SO exciting!!! Plus there are two male POV’s in addition to Laken’s!
ELYSIAN: Almost finished. I will not lie, I am so torn to pieces over this. Things swim along so normally in ELYSIAN then POW! (Yes, I’ve just resorted to verbiage you’d see in a Batman cartoon.) Anyway, before I get too spoilery, onto the teasers!  SOMEONE LIKE YOU (Garrison University 2)
Ally and Morgan’s story*Ally’s point of view
 “Hey”—he smooths back my hair and a shiver runs through me—“it’s okay.” “It’s not okay. I’m a joke to them.” “You’re not a joke, Ally. Not to anybody, least of all me.”  I blink back the tears and take him in—tall, dark, and inked beyond handsome. There’s a sincerity in Morgan that I haven’t found in anyone else.   “Thank you,” I whisper.  He latches onto me with a tender gaze. Morgan Jordan exudes an inextinguishable fire from those steel grey eyes and it makes everything in me quiver to have him. His mouth hedges in ever so close to mine and a breath gets caught in my throat at what might come next. My lips part in anticipation. His granite-like chest presses tight against me as my thigh slips between his legs. “You’re welcome.” He digs a smile into the side of his cheek and walks right out of the kitchen.  
EVANESCENT (The Countenance Trilogy 2)
(Wes and Cooper having a confrontation about who Cooper was up in his bedroom with)*Cooper’s point of view
     Wes leans back and folds his arms. I know what he’s waiting for—the big denial.     “So tell me Coop.” Wes doesn’t take his eyes off mine, neither one of us blinks. “Who was this mystery girl you were shacking up with under daddy’s supervision? Are you going to try and tell me it was Pearl? You expect me to believe you’ve got Spectators giving you blowjobs now? Who was it?”     “It was Laken.”

ELYSIAN (Celestra Series Book 8) The Final book in the young adult series.
*Skyla lost in her thoughts while driving over to Marshall’s house.
     I speed over in my barely-there cheer uniform. God forbid Chloe spot me defecting from the group. She’ll probably have me turning in my miniskirt before the end of the evening. Sometimes I think that the only thing Chloe loves is cheer itself.      Just what in the hell is she going to do with herself after graduation? Oh, that’s right, according Chloe she won’t be here. As if. I’m never that lucky. I’ve got a mother who practically rules the universe, and yet my name might as well be Skyla Misfortune Messenger. Nope. I seriously doubt Chloe will bite the dust as a graduation gift to me. She’ll definitely be hanging around for Gage, crawling after him on her knees in the supermarket, the gas station. I predict a permanent restraining order is in the works.


*There it is! Hope you enjoyed the teasers.

The Tuesday Tease!

Welcome back to the Tuesday Tease!!!Ethereal Knights is live! With the exception of iBookstore and Barnes & Noble. I’m so sorry about the delay. This happens each time. I’m hoping by the time you’re reading this, B&N has already finished processing. The file says it’s still in that position so all I can do is wait until they unfreeze the file. I really do hit publish within the same hour at all vendors. I use a distributor to upload to ibookstore, so they take an extra two weeks, but Amazon and Smashwords are up and running!I hope you enjoy those Oliver boys as much as I did. That book was truly a labor of love! Or was it lust? Either, or. Evanescent is my next book in edits! Yay!Elysian is my primary focus. I’m talking write-in-the-car-while-my-husband-trods-us-down-busy-L.A.-freeways action. It is so on.
Onto the teasers:
EVANESCENT (The Countenance Trilogy 2)
*(Laken and Wes driving to Charity Lake at night)*Wesley’s point of view
“There’s a new student.” She sits up and her sweater slips off her shoulder. She didn’t bring her jacket. I promised to keep her plenty warm, but I like the direction her clothes are headed in. “The blonde?” I try to sound casual. “Coop looked like he was into her.” Laken smirks into her reflection. Shit. Laken is the one that’s into him. A hot stone settles in the pit of my stomach. I’d better cut Flanders out of the conversation before he gets too far into her head. The only thing I want her to focus on is us, as in Laken and me. Just the thought sends a surge of adrenaline through me.
ELYSIAN (Celestra Series Book 8) The final book in the young adult series! (Honestly, I had a difficult time finding a teaser that wasn’t spoilery or, too…well, over the top. lol! That says something, doesn’t it?)
*(Skyla pulling up to Marshall’s house)
I pull into Marshall’s driveway and sit in the car for a moment trying to cool myself down. The last thing I need is to walk in there all charged up, ready to cave to his every desire.Oh, who the hell am I kidding?I snatch my purse and speed toward the porch.

Tuesday Teasers

Hello all~! Welcome back to the Tuesday Tease!Guess what? Here’s the working cover for ETHEREAL KNIGHTS!





I have the book ready to go, but I’m waiting on one more beta. I’m thinking I'll do one more read-through in the meantime then send it off to the formatter. Lol! Sorry this is taking forever! I really do want to get it just right for you. And, as soon as I get it back from the formatter I’ll give you the heads up because that’s when I hit publish.  I’m also knee-deep in ELYSIAN. Exciting and scary things are happening per usual. ;) But all of those good things will come to an end. Right now, Logan, Gage, and Marshall are dying to know how this all goes down, and I’m ready to let everyone in on the big secret. Onto the teasers!
EVANESCENT (The Countenance 2) (Grayson to Cooper in front of Laken and Kresley)*Cooper’s point of view
“If you ever get tired of playing with little girls, let me know.” She gravels it out so low it sounds like a threat. “I’ll find Wes and send him over.” Kres bites down over her pink lip as she twists into Laken. “I wouldn’t want him to miss seeing his girlfriend hit on another guy.” The two of them stalk off into the crowd. I wish they’d magically disappear. I wish a lot of people would disappear from Ephemeral and Laken’s “boyfriend” is at the top of the list.
ETHEREAL KNIGHTS (Celestra Knights)(Gage at the beach with Skyla)*Gage’s point of view
Her eyes catch the light and shine like a sea of crystal. She leans over and writes something in the damp sand just beyond her legs. The words Skyla +Gage appear across the polished slick, encased in a giant heart.“Nice.” I say, admiring her work, my heart racing like a mustang out of the gate.It’s all happening. Skyla and I are together in a roundabout way. Falling in love could be the very next step.
ELYSIAN (Celestra Series Book 8) The final book!!! *sniff**Logan and Gage with Skyla
“Dude.” Logan reprimands. “Give her some space. “Take all the time you need, Skyla. It’s only senior year. We’ve got the rest of our lives.”Gage shoots a death stare over at him and the two of them battle it out with nary a blink.“I for one,” Gage starts, reverting his attention to me, “don’t want to miss a second with you. I know this isn’t going to be easy. I know that deep down inside you don’t want to break anybody’s heart. But I beg of you, if you know the answer, don’t put it off just to spare someone’s feelings—not even if they’re mine.”

Have a great week! I’m going to try and work a miracle and actually have book out this week. I’m foregoing sleep for this one. Wish me luck!

The Tuesday Tease

Welcome back to the Tuesday tease! I hope you’ve had a great week!I’ve been busy around the clock, reading and rereading ETHEREAL KNIGHTS. I wish it was out already but I really want to make sure it’s the best it can be. Speaking of EK, I think it’s going to be complete and coverless so I’m kicking my cover artist into high gear because this needs to go quickly. Plus, ELYSIAN is whispering to me on the sidelines. Can I just say how much I LOVE being back on Paragon? I’ll miss Celestra once I’m through but I’m all ready to venture into Skyla’s new life post high school. Things are going to get interesting and heated. ;) Off to the teasers!  
ETHEREAL KNIGHTS (Ethereal rewritten from Logan and Gage’s perspective)*Gage’s point of view
“Hey, you okay?” He rattles my shoulder like he’s waking me up from a bad dream. Little does he know, he’s the one who’s morphed into my worst nightmare.“I’m great—just did one too many push-ups today gearing up for the big season. I think first games against East.”“We’ll kill ‘em.” He looks past my shoulder. “Bree better show soon. She was supposed to start fifteen minutes ago. I’ll cover the shoes until she gets here.” “You do that. I’m off the clock, boss. I’m out of here.”“Go for it.” He socks me in the arm just enough to make it hurt. “Don’t worry about the game. We’re destined to win. Remember—when the Olivers go after what they want, they always get it.” Logan jumps over the counter with a whistle on his lips, and I shake my head at how quickly everything’s falling to shit. I wanted to say, what happens when two Oliver’s want the very same thing?What then, genius?
EVANESCENT (The Countenance Trilogy 2)*Cooper and Laken are in the transfer.Laken’s point of view
“She said to meet her here.” Coop squeezes my hand as we enter a carpeted corridor. A blue glow emanates from the entry to our right and Coop doesn’t hesitate leading me inside. “I recognize this place. It’s the room with the floating coffins.” Everything in me seizes as I take in the long glass tubes that extend from floor to ceiling. Bodies float inside, submerged in blue fluid. Their blank open gaze, their flesh uniformly sealed in body suits makes them look like an army of petrified soldiers. This was truly a killing field, a mass watery grave that begs for intervention. “How many of these do you think have been stolen?” I ask just above a whisper. Before Coop can answer, Ezrina scuttles into the room with her dark cloak emphasizing the hump over her back, her wild hair wafting in the breeze from behind.
ELYSIAN (The final book in the Celestra Series) (I’m working overtime for a spring release~!)*Marshall to Skyla in front of Logan and Gage
“Slowly I will love you.” A lewd grin twitches at his lips. “Then of course you’ll beg for more, and I’ll be forced to comply.”I glance over at Logan and Gage as they avert their eyes in disgust—disbelief. I don’t dare say a thing—that every word Marshall just breathed happened to be the God’s honest truth. A light drive into the future doesn’t lie too often, and I could tell by the look on my face that I wanted him more than the air in my lungs.  
 Hope you enjoyed!BTW,  SOMEONE TO LOVE scored 5 weeks on the NYT's list! If you need something hot to read Thursday night, Cruise is there for you!
Happy Valentine's Day! Chocolate and roses to all! XOXO

iBookstore shines spotlight on indie titles!

I had to share this awesome news with you. The kind people over at iBookstore have added a new feature to their already rockin' book store, a spotlight for inide authors, called Breakout Books. Every few weeks they'll spotlight a list of different indie authors. I clicked over and was thrilled to pieces to see they've featured both SOMEONE TO LOVE and ETHEREAL! (Thanks iGuys!)





iBookstore: SOMEONE TO LOVE
iBookstore: ETHEREAL (Celestra Series Book 1)

The New York Times did an article on the Breakout Book feature this morning: NYT

The Tuesday Tease

Hi all! Happy Tuesday! I hope you’ve all had a fantastic week. We’re healthy once again at my house so I’ve had time to crunch out words and edit like a maniac. I’m on the final read-throughs for ETHEREAL KNIGHTS. I keep giggling, or sighing, or gasping as I edit and I love that the Oliver boys have that kind of power over me, even though I’ve read the book a couple hundred times. I really hope you’ll enjoy it. As for release date, I’m not positive. I need to talk with my formatter and I need to cinch up the details on the cover as well. I’ll try to give you 5 days notice and really shout it out to let you know its coming. It’s close but I don't think this week. It’s very, very close though. ;)And, I’m so humbled by this, SOMEONE TO LOVE has not only hit the New York Timeslist for the fourth week, but it also scored a spot on the USA Today bestsellers list. And truthfully, that’s because you guys rock, so THANK YOU! xoxo
Onto the teasers!  
ETHEREAL KNIGHTS(The Olivers are going to dinner)Logan’s point of view:
Emma has an obvious spring in her step, overjoyed that her son’s penis has dodged yet another vagina. She doesn’t quite realize that he’s a growing boy with hormones—that girls puddle to his feet whether he appreciates it or not. Nevertheless, she’s pleased beyond measure that Skyla is taken, even if it is by me. I suppose they’re going to demand he hand his balls over tonight and give Skyla and me his blessing. Doubt that will happen, but at least I can shovel some chips and salsa while hoping.
EVANESCENT (The Countenance 2)Cooper’s point of view:
Laken barrels into the road just as my truck rounds out the driveway above Austen House.She jumps in and slams the door behind her, manually punching down the lock. “Drive.” She pants with enough fear pulsating out of her chest to fuel a generator.“Are you okay?” Obviously she’s not. Obviously I’m an idiot for thinking it was all right to text her vital information that had the potential to scare the living shit out of her and send her running in my direction. And, unfortunately for Laken, I’m an ass because deep down inside this is this is exactly what I wanted.
ELYSIAN (Ceslestra Book 8/The FINAL book!)Marshall to Skyla
“The fun, my love, is just beginning. You keep up this 'brave girl' façade and you’ll crush the Countenance into submission with your pretty little heel.”I hold back a smile, wild-eyed at his apparent oversight.“Who the hell is putting up a façade?”    

*Hope you enjoyed!!! I cannot wait to share these books with you!

ETHEREAL is still FREE!!!!!!! I'd appreciate it if you could help me spread the word~!

Tuesday Teasers

Welcome back to the Tuesday Tease!!!SOMEONE TO LOVE is still rocking the NYT Bestsellers list, three weeks in a row! And sadly, the flu doesn’t care much about that because it’s come to visit, and it looks like it’s taking up residency in our household. It’s ironic that when you’re really not up to doing laundry, you find yourself running emergency loads at midnight.Anyway! I got ETHEREAL KNIGHTS back from my editor! Yay!!! I’ve already fixed the suggestions, and now I have to do another final "once over" and then several slooow reads to make sure every word is in place. I really hope you’ll enjoy the Oliver boys as much as I did. Again, fair warning, they are racier than Skyla, but I think the book is such a nice supplement to ETHEREAL, that I’m thrilled I ventured into their incredibly racy minds. I’m letting EVANESCENT cool until I put out EK, and in the meantime, I’m penning SOMEONE LIKE YOU and ELYSIAN~. (I edit in the morning and write at night. Somewhere in the middle is my so-called life.)  ;)Off to the teasers!
ETHEREAL KNIGHTS (ETHEREAL rewritten from Logan and Gage’s perspective)*Gage’s Point of View
“You think she’s Celestra, huh?” Just another thing pretty boy and Skyla have in common. My stomach turns at the thought.“I know she is. You know what the best part is?”“She can see what a douche you are, inside and out?” I tease. Not really. It’ll probably only magnify the fact that deep down, Logan Oliver is one of the nicest guys Skyla could ever hope to know—and that’s just too bad for me.“You’re funny.” He takes the turn outside the estates a little wide, and I hold onto the grab bar. “No, I just keep thinking about how intense it’ll be with her.” He says it quiet—serious, and it sends every nerve in my body on red alert. He’s going to do it. He’s going to make a move on the girl I’m supposed to be with. I don’t get it. If I’m feeling it—if the visions confirm everything I know is true—then why on earth is Skyla the last person to get with the program? I glance back over at Logan and sink in my seat as a horrible realization sets in. Maybe, just maybe, Logan has been a part of the big picture all along.
EVANESCENT (The Countenance 2)
*Laken engages in a ritual called, the slaughter of plenty. (BTW, Laken is not a monster. These creatures were severely injured.)
The most humane way to kill a beast is by breaking its neck. I try to stand but my foot glides in a pool of blood. Wes tries to help me up, but I push him off. Instead, my blade finds the long slick necks of each one of those creatures as I carry out a decapitating spree that goes on for what feels like hours.“Shit, Laken!” Fletch pants in disbelief at the bloody carnage I’ve entrenched myself in. “What the hell?”“They were suffering.” I glance up at the crowd with their hoods pulled back, their eyes locked in disbelief. I rise to my feet with the blade still secure in my hand—blood dripping to my ankles. I latch my gaze over to Wesley and try to steady my breathing. “I won’t let anything or anybody suffer.” Especially not Celestra. Although, it’s not their heads I’m after. It’s the Counts. 
ELYSIAN (Celestra book 8/ The final installment)*(Skyla and Logan)
“Logan?” I can’t breathe. I can’t even hope to catch my breath. I feel so powerless. The impotency of the entire universe is exemplified by what he’s just said.
I hope you enjoyed! I’ll edit the heck out of ETHEREAL KNIGHTS and hopefully have a publication date to give you by next Tuesday. 

The Tuesday Tease

Happy Tuesday~!
SOMEONE TO LOVE hits the New York Times bestseller list for a second week!!! I’m thrilled, and honored, and extremely humbled that its hung in the air for so long. BIG thank you to YOU guys for all of your ~wonderful~ support! *Hugs and chocolate all around*The Books: I should be done with the first draft of EVANESCENT by Wednesday. It’s taken the entire time I've allotted to write it, but I’ve had fun with the storyline. It looks like The Countenance is shaping up to be a trilogy, which I had originally intended it to be. I should pen the final book in late spring if not sooner. The tie-ins to Celestra increase with each book but you don’t have to read Celestra to understand The Countenance. ETHEREAL KNIGHTS is still with the editors. I’m hoping at least one will release it back to me this week. I’m so excited about this book!!! In fact I’ve actually had Oliver withdrawals and have been thinking about penning TREMBLE for Me which would be book 2 in the POV series. I just love me some Logan and Gage. Is that so wrong? Lol!ELYSIAN will get my full attention around the second week of February—for sure by Valentines Day. Then I pen it to the end. Sad to see Celestra go but super excited to bring you the rest of the story. Then Skyla gets her New Adult series which will officially be my guilty pleasure. Also, I’m going to try and get my injured cover artist, A.K.A. my husband, to churn out some of his amazing work so I can share them with you guys. Here’s hoping!
Enjoy the teasers!
ELYSIAN (Book 8 - The Final Celestra Book)
(Skyla to Chloe)
“It never ends with you. It’s always the same story.”“I am the story, Skyla. And I’m going to stick around to make damn sure you never forget it.”
EVANESCENT (The Countenance Book 2)
(Wes to Laken, talking about the Celestra tunnels)
“You’re going to be powerful after our visit, Laken.” The muscles in his jaw pop as if he means business. “This place, it’s called the Tenebrous Woods. It’s where prisoners of war are held.” He shoots a nervous glance behind me. “Laken, the only way to get this power is to take it from them physically.”I stare at Wes a very long time. I’m boarding up the windows and doors to my thoughts so he’ll never get inside and see what a monster my eyes are conveying to me at this very moment.
ETHEREAL KNIGHTS (Logan and Gage’s POV novel—Ethereal rewritten through their eyes)
(Logan and Skyla talking about Chloe)
“I think we should do this with words.” I press a finger over my lips, wishing I were touching hers instead. “Afraid to let me in much?” She says it like a dare. I wonder what she would do if she knew I could withhold my thoughts from her at will—that I seem to hold a secret from her at every turn. I doubt she’d believe any of this was in her best interest.  I shake my head. “More like, afraid to hear you.” It comes out slow, measured. “It happened twice with Chloe and me. It was stupid. Chloe and I…” I wish I could take it all back, every last kiss. “She wasn’t the right person for me.” I interlace our fingers soft as feathers. “By the time she disappeared we had already broken up, which put me at the top of the suspect list.”
Hope you enjoyed!
BTW, because so many of you were so kind to chime in last week, I wanted to let you know I finally ditched the gel nails and traded them in for acrylics. Since I was an acrylic virgin, my fingers ached the first night, but now I can’t stop staring at them because they are so darn purdy. Also, I can’t stop strumming them against things because it makes an awesome sound. Like I needed another psychotic obsession.  

Thanx again for supporting SOMEONE to LOVE!!!
