The Wait is Over!!! Book 2 is out now!

Hello mydears! Hope things are going well in your part of the world. Mine have been busy, busy, busy! I just celebrated by 6 year wedding anniversary to the love of my life...my amazing husband Kenny. We took a weekend getaway to San Antonio this past weekend and walked down the River Walk and ate at our favorite restaurant The Old San Francisco Steakhouse. We had a great time. Also, I've been working super hard to get book 2 out to you earlier than planned. It's just my way of saying THANK Y...

Jesse Prescott

I wanted to talk to you guys today about a subject that I am all too familiar with, and that is Domestic Violence and Stalking. If you've read my first book, you know that Jesse Prescott is Skye Morrison's ex-boyfriend turned creepy stalker. Well, what you don't know is that Jesse's character is very, VERY loosely based off of someone from my past.

I have personally dealt with domestic violence situations and have had that person stalk me after the relationship ended. Nothing is scarier than...

It's been well over a month since I last updated you via my blog, so allow me to sincerely apologize.

I do want to let you know that I have a much more active presence on Facebook and I encourage you to Like my page to follow all of my latest news. I update my Facebook Author page at least once a week. I really look forward to seeing you there and...

Writing is the easy part...

I'm new to this whole writing/self promotion thing, and I'm quickly learning that writing is the easy part.  It's the self promotion that's hard.  I'm not very good at self promotion it seems. I've started a website (thank you for visiting it by the way!), a Facebook page, Goodreads page, ect... but word on my book is slow going.  Blood of the Son, my first book, has been out for 19 days now.  I've sold a fair number of books so far, don't get me wrong, and I'm getting a lot of positive...

Nine Months...

I started writing my first book, Blood of the Son, on March 28, 2011.  Over the next nine months, completely caught up in Skye Morrison's exciting world, i would work tirelessly to perfect it.  I've never written anything before, so when i completed the book on December 22, 2011, i was beyond ecstatic!  It was a pretty big deal in my little world... 

I think my love affair with vampires started very early on in life.  I remember watching my first vampire movie when i was seven years old. ...
