Hang in there with me…

Writing AOM has been a long journey. Somewhere along the way, I’d lost steam because of the ePiracy. I can’t fully say that I’m that driven writer that I was before as ePiracy which continues to plague me and hundreds of other authors. And I would be lying if I didn’t admit it still affects me.


However, I am determined as ever to finish this series. I’ve come too far to not to. So what is taking so long? Many things, but I often wonder if I’m not procrastinating in smallways. As a reader too,...

A bit of Inspiration

Okay, so my mother has read Rememberand Beg for Mercy. She liked Remember better but I won’t tell you guys why until after it’s released. I’ll let you guys make up your mind first. Okay, getting on topic, she was reading a book. (I got my love of reading from her) and I asked what it was. Turned out it was some steamy romance. So, Isaysteamy huh?And I asked her if she wanted to read my latest book. She was like “new book”, yikes, because I hadn’t told her about it. I mean who tells their moma...

Warning…. This is for mature audiences

So, yes, no joke, I have a book coming out in the next few days and it’s for adults. This is not intended for underage readers. This book contains explicit sexual situations. And after much debate, I went ahead and published it under my name. Hopefully, that is the right decision. Other authors such as Richelle Mead and Rachel Vincent have titles for both young adults and adults. So, there you have it.


And here is my first adult title. It is not paranormal, it’s more steamy romance.


The title i...

New Group, Contest, etc.

One incrediblycool person started a Cambiongroup on Goodreads and got some other really awesome people to join in on the fun.


So let’s just say, I joined to. And because it’s a special group, I’ve posted some exclusive teasers there for AOM tonight. Join and don’t miss out on those and future teasers. Plus, I may just answer a question or two or three if you have any.


Maybe at some point a contest for an ARC of AOM….. maybe…..


Check it out….

A chapter a day…

Truly, if I could write a chapter a day, I swear I’d be done with AOM by now. But I do have exciting things in store. Hopefully I’ll be able to announce something soon. In the meantime the next chapter in the Sebastian story is posted if you’re interested. Chapter 6.



I think Sebastian wonders just what it feels like to be Alive….

Thanks

I wanted to say thank you to you all for being patient and waiting on Angel of Mercy. It’s still a work in progress, but I am working. For those that are wondering why it’s taking so long, I’ll give you the short version. ePiracysort of took the wind out of my sails. (Look back to previous post for full story Oct/Nov timeframe) Still, I’m committed to finishing the series, so no worries there.


I’ve written a POV to help with the wait. I’ll try to get out another chapter of Sebastian soon.


So he...

It’s been a while

Hey everyone, sorry it’s been a while. I’ve been busy writing, editing and generally dealing with life. I know you guys are waiting on AOM, and I’m doing my best to get it you soon. I’m in the middle of four projects so my time is all over the place. For you patiently in waiting, I’ll try to get you guys a POV from WFM. I think I have just the one in mind.


In the meantime, the lovelyladies at Rather Barefoot than Bookless are hosting meas Author in the Spotlight for the month of January.
