Hey little guy

Roni woke early as usual. The tiny lizard that had come in and out of her room for the last month was on the ceiling in the corner. Hey, little guy, you coming to send me off? she said to herself. The lizard did a couple of pushups almost as if he were answering her, making Roni smile. She had emailed Mack late last night, reminding him of her flight information. They had quit trying to Skype some time ago due to bad timing and not reaching one another; email had become the communication of choice. She’d typed long ones about what was going on. His were mostly very short, typical Mack. She was looking forward to seeing him and nervous at the same time.            The air conditioning unit kicked on as she threw the sheet back. Jenny was still asleep; her blonde hair spread across the pillow. Roni pulled the tie from her hair and fixed her ponytail before she walked out to the kitchen to make coffee. As she filled the pot from the kitchen faucet, she thought about the frogs. She realized their sound had become a part of her world. She hardly heard them anymore. Wondering how long it would take her to readjust to the sounds of a New York night, she filled the coffeemaker and scooped in the coffee.

Author guest post

Author Guest Post on JERSEY GIRL SIZZLING BOOK REVIEWS (link below) Love/Hate Boy In A Band I have readers tell me they love, love, love, the book and others that tell me they love and hate it. It is a story that will make a reader feel, whatever that emotion is. I myself love and hate Mathew. There are things about him that are endearing and then there are times you'd like to wring his neck or knock some sense into him. Morgan felt that very same way. She knew he was her drug, not always good to, or for her, but couldn't help herself. Morgan met Mathew when she was just going on thirteen and just getting to the stage in her life that she noticed boys. What Morgan sees in Mathew is the boy she met then, the one she played tag with, listened to music in his room, had long talks, walked on the beach with. She got to know Mathew before he was really “the boy in the band” and this is the person she continues to love. When a reader asks why does she go back and back for more, it’s because that is the Mathew she wants to see, the boy of old, and in him she still finds those glimpses on occasions. I know Morgan can frustrate a reader as well because of this. You may want to shake her on occasion, but one must remember their own young/first love, most are not rationale. I think many women have had a Mathew type in their life at one time or another. A man they logically know is not good for them, but they continue on anyway. That is Morgan Mallory. One of the things some readers don’t tend to see is that she finally figures it out, as slow and hard as it is for her. She realizes she deserves more, that she can’t stand by and wait for him to find the next girl around the corner, which she knows is inevitable. Boy In A Band is not your predictable rock star romance novel. The ending may not be what you hoped for, but you have to see that Morgan did get her HEA. She did move on to find true love and a good solid true love. The sequel to Boy In A Band is Casanova Cowboy (contemporary romance) and there is a prequel to Casanova Cowboy, Racing Through Cornfields (contemporary coming of age) Ryan Walker's story.

"BOY IN A BAND" recent review: Just finished Boy in the Band. Holy Ugly Cry. It was beautiful and painful and perfect. Of course I wanted them to find each other again, but that would have been bullshit. It never could work between them. Bravo for being authentic…

Another love

Excerpt "Casanova Cowboy" Ryan never talked just to fill space, so when he was silent, it didn’t feel uncomfortable. We walked a long way and then sat in the sand and watched the waves, and he told me more about Carrie. I scooped sand up slowly, letting it run out of my hands onto my feet, burying them while I listened. “So has there been another love since?” I asked. “I’ve dated a lot, but no,” he said staring out into the distance over the water. “Maybe you’re not open to it,” I said. I was curious, why. He was a good-looking guy, fun to be with, nice.
