'An Apple for Zoe (The Forsaken #1)' by Thomas Amo
Blurb:
The City of San Francisco is locked in a grip of fear. A series of occult murders has led, Inspector Thomas James, to a crime scene similar to a murder committed 90 years ago in the once grand Aleris Hotel. A place where power barons of the early 20th Century engaged in witchcraft. And silent film stars indulged in the most wicked of sins.
A place where no one questions the black

And the Winner is… um… Winners are…!
Yay! The time has come to announce the winners of the signed paperbacks! This past couple of weeks has been phenomenal as an author. The love and support everyone has shown me has made my throat tighten a few times. Just a few things that have made this last little while fantastic would be the fact that 'Crossover' and 'Journey' have been in the top ten best seller's list for fantasy novels on

The Helpless Fear that Comes with Love
It starts with the quickening of my pulse as you come running into the house. I notice your hand over your eye, the wild look in the other, and my heart drops. It's happening again. I sit on the couch without saying anything and you come to me. That alone makes my throat tighten; the love and trust that one move demostrates makes me feel useless. I'm you're mom; I'm supposed to keep you safe,

'Meant to Be' by Tiffany King
SYNOPSIS
Krista Miller feels like she has lived her entire life in a glass box with her every emotion on display. She can't help feeling like a defect as her sensitivities have made her socially inept and without any real friends; the one exception being the boy that visits her each night in her dreams.
Krista's emotions are put to the test when a move to California triggers a devastating

Giveaway Time!
Alright!
Those of you who are getting to know me are starting to realize that I love to give stuff away. It's true and I'll probably end up a very broke author... oh, wait, I already am! So I guess it doesn't matter then, eh? You may be wondering what is the occasion behind this latest giveaway... Let me tell you. Um... no, ah... nope. No reason. Just for shits and giggles. How about we'll

My Parking Lot Angel...
The setting: Sobey's Parking lot (again)
The cast: Me, three drunks, and (thankfully) a stranger
I swear, I am going to start shopping at Superstore again. This is getting ridiculous. I must have a 'harass me' sign on my forehead that only I can't see. Granted, the old man telling me I'd never get married cause I looked like a boy was comical. This morning, however, was not.

My New Blog...
Alright! This is nothing too interesting. I'm just letting you know that as of now, I'll be using this as my new blog. I've been having issues with my old site (it likes to send me places I don't want to go) and I love how easy Blogger makes it to set up your page. So. From now on, come see me on here! (And tell your friends... because as of right now, I have none.) lol

My Children and My Retreating Sanity
There are days when I sit on my couch and shake my head. Is it just me? Is there some other poor sap out there that finds herself in the same situations, all the while not quite believing what is happening? I mean, honestly, I seriously think that when God wrote out my life, he was having a bad day and needed a good laugh. 'Hmmmm…" He thought to Himself. "Let's see how she handles this one."
The Good, the bad, and everything else that's worth it...
There are days when I sit down at night after the kids get to bed and I wonder what God's plan is for me. Then I remember the little kisses and hugs and the 'goodnight, mommy, I love you' that I just heard and it's obvious. When there's a day that seems unbearable and everything seems to go wrong, all I have to do is think back to when I first became a mom and I'm actually greatful for the
Silence is never a good thing...
"I swear, I locked the door." That's the answer I got from Kyle while I sat at home and he got his trailers loaded in Regina. He'd just finished asking me if I'd be up when he got home and I answered his question by saying, "sure. I'll still be up wiping up all of the caulking the kids got into because someone forgot to lock up the furnace room when he was done in there."
Hmmm. Now that the
