Moonlight and Merlot – Interrupted
It's Tuesday, which usually means another episode of my paranormal soap opera Moonlight and Merlot. But on Friday, my novella, Sculpting a Demon officially goes on sale from Ellora's Cave so I felt I needed to do something slightly different today.
Tuesday has become something of the designated free story day with the great Tuesday Serial and #TeaserTuesday events both happening all day long. There are some really talented writers involved with both of those projects and I would HIGHLY...

"Are you going to behave?" she asked Arien as they waited to be admitted to the gallery.
"What are you implying?" he asked, his face the very picture of innocence.
"I'm not implying anything," she said. "I'm saying straight out that if you're planning on doing anything wonky, you best stay outside."
"Wonky?"

A Man's Gotta Make a Living
What we do helps define who we are. The same holds true for your hero. He can't just be your heroine's plaything. Well, he can, but he also needs a job.

Vampire
Not a job so much as a lifestyle, but still a full time commitment.
Bounty Hunter

Moonlight and Merlot
The continuing saga of the lives, loves and heartbreaks of the residents of Dion Valley, CA.
As with all the best things in life, this is for adults only.

Even though it meant that Nick would leave tonight with less than fifty bucks in his pocket, he was grateful for the quiet. Too many things had already happened. He had no need for an action-packed shift on top of it.
He s...
