To kill or not to kill…..
As a regular reader of all the reviews I get, I’m grateful for all I receive. Thanks to all of you who have posted reviews just because or to get another POV chapter from one of Mercy’s guys. No, the goal hasn’t been met yet, but I’m feeling generous.
The past few days, I’ve read some really awesome reviews. One in particular today caught my attention because ofa question she raised. Now, there are other questions and comments I’ve read that I desperately want to answer, but I curb my enthusia...

Thursday’s Teasers
Random Thursday Teasers and thoughts.
Teaser from the next Mercy book.
My half smile and a quick shake of my head said it all. I went to grab the door handle to get out. Stopping me, Maggie said, “This is allmessed up, Eme.But it will work out…Somehow.” Her voice trailed off.
Feeling like the biggest jerk, I turned and took her hand and gave it a squeeze. “I’m sorry, Maggs.I should be there for you.I guess I just haven’t been sleeping well.”

Ask and you shall receive….
Those puppy dog eyes get me everytime. So, you asked and you shall receive. Based on e-mails, facebook/twitter comments, reviews and goodreads post, you all want more POV from Flynn or Luke during the time when they knew Mercy. So, I will give you what you want as an incentive when one of the following milestones is reached:
On Amazon.com:
Beg for Mercy gets either 100 reviews and/or 100 likes of that page. (The liked status is next to the # of reviews to the side of the picture of the cover of...

Released. Relax. Read.
Released. Relax. Read.
No Mercy, a short story told from the POV of Flynn and Luke from the Cambions series is available for purchase. The boys finally have their say. And boys will be boys. Read to see just far they’ve come fromthis story to where they are now in Waiting for Mercy. Although, I will say, I wouldn’t read until after you’ve read Waiting for Mercy.
I do have the coverand titlefor the next novel in the Mercy (Cambions)series. I will post soon. Until then, relax and read. Summer is...

Dear Journal
Dear Journal,
I’m starting fresh with this one. Shannon has my other journals which she is using to write my story. It’s hard for me to begin anew. Events of the recent past are fresh in my mind. I can’t fathom how things turned out as they did. Every day, I find myself on the verge of tears wondering just how things went wrong.
When I received this journal (not the one I write in now but another)from out of the blue, I couldn’t believe my eyes. His words were here. All I have left at the momen...

A quick note…
A quick note….
When is the Cambions book three coming out is a popular question I’ve been getting a lot lately. The answer is I have no firm answer. Sorry. 
Hopefully, it be out later this year. I’m waiting to get the cover from my graphic artist. Once I have that, I will reveal it and the title. By then, maybe I will have some insight into the release date.
I know. I can see Mercy with shock and disappointment that I’m not paying enough attention to her. My boys are a bit annoyed as well. Mer...

Prelude to Beg for Mercy
While looking through my files for something else, I found this. I’d forgotten I’d written it.
So, I thought I would go ahead and post to give you guys a glimpse into Paul’s head. Poor guy doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar even mine (I forgot, lol). This is story begins before Beg for Mercy when even Mercy was obvious to all things.
I searched for a picture I thought would represent Paul and I found this one.Maybe it was just the baseball hat (you don’t believe that do you,lol). I think it’s...

Bonus Chapter from Waiting for Mercy – Flynn POV
So here is the bonus chapter of Flynn in Waiting for Mercy at the Wedding. I hope you like it.
This isn’t the exact dress I envisioned for Mercy. The one in my head is a little more form fitting and ending at the knee, but its close enough.
Flynn…. Not necessarily the suit, but certainly the attitude. That knowing that you are hot!
Without futher ado……

Tuesday Nightmare
What do you do when your livelihood almost crashes. And I don’t mean a car. I mean, my freaking computer. I didn’t get the blue screen of death. Instead, I got the black screen of impending doom. The message in white letters that stood out like little explosions read “Searching for Disk Error.” To say my heart stopped for the minutes it took for the computer to scan itself is an understatement.
With my lips turning blue from lack of oxygen, I waited. With my finger going numb from lack of use,...
