Part ii
When last we left the boys, Gabe was reading a letter he’d written Angelo. Out loud. It appears our Gabe wasn’tquitetruthful about the goings on in the Poconos while Angelo was in the pokey…If you aren’t caught up, here’s Part i. Carry on…
ALWAYS A SINNER – Part ii
Rafe didn’t budge until Gabe touched him, a tentative clasp on his shoulder. He broke eye contact and opened the glass door, ducking outside before Gabe could speak again. Fear was a very real thing, tangible on his skin, an acrid ta...

Back Where?
Waved Mr. A off to another country yesterday. Sad face. It’s me and the kid, quiet times all around. I have a shit load of respect for single parents, be it mother or father. No idea how you guys do it. Mr. A isn’t gone a full 24 hours and already I want him back. At least kid is back to school next week. Back to normal routines.
I like routines. And schedule. Just don’t ask about my writing schedule. I’d started a m/f story that popped into my head (shit is steady popping into my head), but I...

Cover Reveal: A Sinner Born
I decided to sleep in today, woke up past eight andimmediatelychecked my inbox. Lo and behold, Ifoundthe cover for Syren and Kane. I tried not to squeal, but I’m not sure that worked out. I had to go put the finishing touches on the blurb too. So, here for your viewing pleasure…is A SINNER BORN.
THE COVER
THE BLURB
One man buried in secrets. Another still grieving the love he lost. Their worlds collide in a battle between memories, old and new, while trust hangs by a fragile thread.
Syren Rua is...

Free Reads, Blurbs and more…Oh my!
A couple days ago while doing dishes, Tommy and Mateo’s story came to me. As did their title. I scribbled it down and yes, by the time the book is written and ready for your consumption, some things may change. For the moment though, this is the blurb and title. No, I have not begun writing it yet.
Scroll down because in addition to Teo and Tommy, I’ve included a deliciously sweet short. This one is about Angelo and Gabe. It’s gonna be a multi-parter. Maybe posed every week or so. There’s an e...

Win a Mask from Guest Author: Lexi Post!
Yep, that’s me. The strange girl in class who always had her nose in a book. Even during the summers. And one summer I read a set of encyclopedias on the American Revolution geared for grammar school. Hey, I was in 7th grade :-}
So now the strange girl writes erotic romance, only she’s still strange because she is inspired by classic literature. Yes, guilty as charged. I can’t help it. In the case of my debut release with Ellora’s Cave, I found my inspi...

Insta-Lust…Judge Much?
I saw a post on twitter recently about real life romance tropes which had me thinking back to when I first met Mr. A and how we came to be…us.
I’m not a really romantic person, in fact, Mr A is the one who talks and does nice things and makes the extra effort. I’m the one who bitches and moans. He’s all about the cerebral, politics and religion, being informed and knowing what’s happening in the world around us. I admit, before I met him I didn’t give a flying crap about any of that. But he’s...

News and Sinners FAQs
Syren and Kane have been accepted for publication. Meaning, yes, they are that much closer to being on your e-reader. I can fully admit to biting my nails for the few weeks my editor had the manuscript, reading it. I have never been so scared about a story before. I feel like no matter what the hell I do, I won’t be able to deliver
They’re so big in my head.
With Love the Sinner and Sinner, Savior, before I’d even been offered their contracts, I’d re-read them close to five/six times. I loved t...
