Book Two - Snippet #4
He takes advantage of this opportunity to push me up against a plaster wall that's flaking away exposing the red, aged brick underneath. Colin demands my swollen, abused lips again. I gladly allow him access. When he’s finished kissing me, he looks into my lavender eyes with a fierceness that's reserved for football and me. He firmly states, making sure I hear every word, “I’ll add this to my list of things that I don’t care about. I don’t care what anyone thinks of our relationship. I don’t care who sees me making out with my girl. You’re mine, and you aren’t going anywhere.” There’s a small part of me that would like to salute him because he’s so serious and determined. I choose to allow him to drag me back to our hotel room instead.

Book Two - Snippet #3
In honor of the Fourth of July...
Colin orders a glass of water. I’m sipping one of their signature drinks, the Rainbow. It’s almost too pretty to drink, but I do anyway. It’s so good that I make a mental note to just have one because I 've got a feeling that it’s pretty strong. It doesn't take long for the piano players to recognize Colin and begin playing the theme from the television show Dallas. Colin laughs and tips his hat to them.
I grab a napkin and pen and quickly scratch my song request on it. Colin looks at me questioningly. I ignore him and take a five dollar bill out of my purse. I put the napkin and money on the piano. The piano player picks up the napkin and reads it. Then, she flashes me a wink and knowing smile.

Book Two Snippet #2
Here's today's snippet... Enjoy!
He pulls away first, shaking his head at my bravado, and looks at me with a sparkle in his eyes. “Dear God, Charlie. Are you asking me to make love to you on the Ferris wheel?” Giggling, I reply as I look around appraisingly at the car that we're sitting in. “Maybe. I like the way that the car swings.” Raising my eyebrow, “It could be interesting.”

Book Two of the Infinity Series
Hey everyone! Great news on book two. The rewrites are finished, and it's back in the editor's inbox. Yay! I'm still on track for an August release.
So, in honor of book two being almost complete, I thought it would be fun to play a little game. Everyday for the next seven days, I'm going to post a picture and snippet from book two. With the last picture, on the seventh day, being the cover (which is HOT!) and title reveal.
Okay! Ready to play?
Colin’s back is to me and he’s staring out the hotel window at the Mississippi River, but he must sense my presence because he turns around and walks toward me grabbing my shoulder with his left hand and squeezing it. This’s the universal sign that Colin's upset. The degree that my shoulder's squeezed is a direct correlation to how upset that he is. By the way, that he’s gripping my shoulder, this is really bad.

Welcome!
Hey guys!
Welcome to my blog. I've been told that I'm not a real author until I have one. To be perfectly honest with you, I've tried doing blogs in the past, and I'm not very good at keeping them updated. So... We'll see how this goes.
