Movie Monday--Rocketman
It was a cold and rainy Sunday so I took myself out to see Rocketman, the new Elton John biopic. I loved it! And of course, the music is sensational.

New Release!
UNEXPECTED ANGEL, the second book in the Marks Mercenaries series, is out today! This is a brand new book for this series and I'm so excited for you to read it.
Unexpected Angel Mark Mercenaries, Book 2
Angelina Astoferus is on the run from her uncle, who wants to marry her off as part of a business deal. Her only hope is to find a spaceship to escape on—and a man willing to take her virginity, since her being pure is part of the deal. A desperate escape attempt leads her to the loading docks of the planet Oasis, where she spies Amos. Captivated by him, when the opportunity to sneak on board his ship arises, she takes it.
When Amos Marks discovers a stowaway on his ship, he knows she is big trouble. He and his brothers don’t need two dangerous enemies—her powerful uncle and the jilted warrior from Gravas—but Amos can’t turn his back on her. He decides to help her with her outlandish plan, but neither of them expects that the physical connection between them will lead to so much more. TEASER: She unfastened her cloak and let it fall to her feet, leaving her clad only in a thin pair of pants and a white tunic. Both garments clung to her curves. She knew men were attracted to her shape. He uncle had used that fact many times to distract visiting business guests. Amos’s gaze flicked to her body but immediately went back to her face. Frustration filled her. Why wasn’t he acting like every other man she’d ever met? “You have to sleep with me?” she blurted. “Why?” His bland reply was totally at odds with her impassioned plea. If it weren’t for the hard bulge in the front of his flightsuit she’d swear the man was an android. Of course, he’d been all hot male while he’d been kissing her. That gave her some hope. “To save my life.”

Tuesday Teaser: Rescuing Rory
TEASER:
Her lips thinned, and she frowned at him. “You have a tendency to be a bully when you want your own way. Anyone ever tell you that?”
“Yeah, but you can blame my older brothers for that. If I wasn’t assertive, I never would have survived childhood.” He could tell by the look on her face she wasn’t sure if he was serious or teasing. It was a bit of both, which surprised him. He couldn’t remember the last time he teased a woman. Maybe never. That kind of closeness was reserved for his family.
“Well you can’t just decide you’re keeping someone.” Sheer determination shone from her face. She was so serious and adorable at the same time.
Kal dropped a quick kiss on the tip of her nose. “Sure I can.” Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RMKSW9M/ Evernight Publishing: https://www.evernightpublishing.com/rescuing-rory-by-n-j-walters/ Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/937793 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/rescuing-rory-nj-walters/1119955681 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/rescuing-rory-1 Bookstrand: https://www.bookstrand.com/rescuing-rory-mf

Drakon's Tear on SALE
For a very limited time Drakon's Tear is on sale for only 99-cents. If you love a sexy drakon (dragon) shifter, then be sure to buy your copy before the price goes back up!
Drakon’s Tear Blood of the Drakon, Book 6
Dying isn't an option. I've survived a kidnapping, and now I'm on the run from the Knights of the Dragon who want my gift. There's nothing a dragon loves more than treasure. I'm Abigail Owens, and I can sense gemstones. When I find myself drawn to a beautiful stone bracelet at a tiny shop in Moscow, I can't help but have it — even though I can sense it's power. But I didn't realize with this one decision I've just put myself in the middle of a war between the Knights and a Drakon.
I guess I'm just lucky like that.
The only person I trust even a little is Vasili Zima, which is weird since I’m not sure if he wants to kill me or protect me. I'm drawn to him in a way I hadn't thought possible, and he feels the same way, or he wouldn't be risking his life to help me. He's wanted by the bad guys just as much as I am, and staying with me, well, there's a hundred percent chance I'm about to get us both killed. But I will not be going down without a fight.

TEASER
It took every ounce of his self control not to shift and go on a killing rampage. The thought of some unknown man hurting Abigail made him want to roar, to lay waste to the entire city. No, the world.
Maybe a bit excessive, but he didn’t care at the moment.

Writer Wednesday--Organization
How do I organize when I'm writing? I'm old school. Instead of putting it all in a computer file I use file cards. For the Blood of the Drakon series, I have both a filled notebook and a 1" stack of 4 X 6 inch file cards with notes. When I'm working on a book in the series, I have the file cards propped un against the top of my keyboard for easy reference. It works for me. :)
