First Line Friday – Ghost of a Chance
Chance is almost here! To celebrate, let’s see how his first meeting with a pretty stranger went…
“The labs don’t open until nine.”
Chance froze. Seeing as how he was invisible, there was no way that had been directed at him. Yet when he turned, he found a sprite with pink hair staring directly at him as she tapped her foot.
“Yes, I’m talking to you, Mr. Ghost.”
Running through his options, Chance figured there were two ways this could go. He could take her words as a warning and beat a hasty retreat or he could go solid and see what the delectable little morsel’s name was.
He liked the sound of option B.
Willing himself solid, he grinned at the pink-haired woman. “Howdy, sweetheart.”
The sprite rolled her eyes. “Please. If you use that fake accent again, I’ll relocate your balls into your throat.”
That was mildly offensive. His accent hadn’t been that bad.

When he was alive, Chance Harker was stuck in a boring job and a relationship that was going nowhere. Now that he’s dead, a whole new world has opened up for him.
He has a challenging job with a PI firm, his run of a swank hotel, and plenty of interesting people to keep an eye on. The only thing missing from his afterlife is great sex. Hell, he’d settle for mediocre sex at this point. Any sex at all, in fact.
Finding out the research facility run by Pinnacle Point Pharms is looking for those with strange and unusual sexual issues, Chance decides to check it out. Because if a sex clinic with supernatural ties can’t help him get a little nookie, he’ll have to resign himself to an eternity of unfulfilled desires.
And no self-respecting ghost wants that.
Warning: This book contains a horny ghost who tends to go invisible at the worst possible moment, a woman with exceptional flexibility, and a box of powdered donuts. The break room will never be the same again.
Make sure you visit Christi to see what she’s sharing from her WIP… Christi Snow.
Until next week!

First Line Friday – Ghost of a Chance
Here’s a little peek into Chance’s world and some of the issues he faces as a ghost…
Ghosts don’t sleep. This had thrilled Chance at first. He envisioned an afterlife where he had all the time in the world to get things done.
Write the Great American Novel? He could do that in the wee hours when most of those in his corner of the world were blissfully dreaming.
Learn to play the guitar? Why not? Once he found an out of the way place to practice, he’d be all over that.
If only reality was more accommodating.
When the world went quiet around him, all Chance’s ideas seem to flee. That Great American Novel got pushed to the backburner. He’d yet to find a place to stash a guitar.
Instead, he roamed the halls.
He’d amused himself for a time trying to scare people, but that got old after a while. Plus, the manager of the hotel had threatened to have him exorcized if he didn’t stop scaring off the guests.
Chance had pouted about that for a few days. What good was being a ghost if he couldn’t even scare the pants off people?

First Line Friday – Ghost of a Chance
Ghost of a Chance, Pinnacle Point #1, will be here before you know it. While you’re waiting to meet Chance and the town of Pinnacle Point, here’s a teaser…
Dying wasn’t the worst thing that could happen to a man, Chance Harker mused as he waited for his mark to pay for her latte. Having your girlfriend tell you she was joining the couple two doors down in their “open marriage” was worse. Not being able to avoid her after the fact due to the fact she now lived two doors down from you was another.
Sadly, both those things had happened to him. After it all went down, breaking his lease to move into the Belmont Hotel seemed like his only choice. Losing his job a week later because his position had become redundant had been the final nail in the coffin that was his life.
Well, not literally. That nail came a couple days later. When his body was lowered into the ground after he’d been hit by a damn bus because he was distracted by his misfortunes.

First Line Friday – Operation Dragon
I feel like I say this often (or maybe I only think it), but Max was such a sweetie. Funny story, but I was challenged by one of my Twitter pals to write a book with a cockatrice in it. I didn’t have to think very hard about it before I knew who she’d be hooking up with. YAY, MAX!
The knock on the door startled Ari so badly she squeaked. Embarrassing. More so if her hunk of a mate had been around. Fortunately, she was alone in the house and didn’t have to worry about Liam’s teasing.
Putting down her business book, Ari ran a hand through her hair and scowled at the door. Few people bothered to make the trek into the woods to her house. Meaning, it was either one of her friends (one of her awesome supernatural friends, which wasn’t scowl-worthy in the least) or her parents.
Meh. Her parents. How she didn’t want to deal with them at the moment.
Operation DragonAmazonRelease Date: July 19, 2015
Pages: 39
Genre: Monster Erotica
With one happy couple firmly under her belt, budding supernatural matchmaker Ari Colton is determined to help any other lonely heart who comes her way.
A flighty cockatrice with a penchant for bikini tops and cowboy hats? NO PROBLEM.
She knows a wicked dragon with an open mind who would love going on a date with the sassy, motor-mouthed, half-dragon waitress. And if they happen to hit things off and find their happily ever after? EVEN BETTER.
Ari’s determined to make her supernatural dating agency the best in the community and she’s not above twisting a few wings to make things work.
Warning: This book contains one bikini wearing waitress who can’t keep her mouth shut and one hunk of a dragon who likes things a little rough. No bikinis or fur-lined boots were harmed in the writing of this book.

First Line Friday – Cursed Blood
Going back to the first of the Grimwood books for today’s First Line Friday. Zel and his tower were so fun to write. (And for those wondering, it’s HIGHLY possible you’ll see Zel and Geneva again.)
“There’s another one coming, boy. Get the shovel.”
Zel stilled at the old lady’s words. He hated when she spoke to him. Nothing good ever came of it.
He wished. He wished. He wished he was tucked away in his room at the top of the tower. He’d pry off the loose board covering the window and look out across the dark forest. From there, he could see farther than he’d ever been allowed to travel. He could see the moon rise and the sun set and the trees growing free beneath the sky.
She never went to the tower. Not anymore. Not since he’d grown tall enough she feared he’d hurt her if she got too close.
She was right to think that.
He no longer sat silently when she came to snip locks of hair to use in her foul potions. He didn’t let her near him when she came with her sharp knife to spill his blood.
He didn’t know what she did with the pieces she stole, what darkness she brewed in the stone walls of the main house. He’d tried to find out once and been beaten for it so badly he still carried the scars on his back.
He didn’t know. He only knew he was as trapped on the cursed plot of land as the rabbits he caught in snares for supper.
Cursed BloodAmazon | Barnes and Noble | iTunes | Kobo | InkteraRelease Date: December 13, 2014
Pages: 117
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Twisted Fairytale
Zel has lived his entire life within the confines of a square mile of the forest. The tower is his refuge. The witch, his captor. Forced to do her bidding, he dreams of a day when he can leave the cursed place and be free.
But fate has other plans and freedom can take many guises.
As a girl, Geneva devoured stories about the wild boy who lived at the highest point in the forest. A changeling, a prince, a forest spirit—all the tales tell a different story. Imagine her surprise when she stumbles across the cursed tower and the young man held prisoner there.
It’ll take all her cunning and courage to free him.
What she doesn’t know is that freeing him might doom them all.
Make sure you visit Christi and see what teaser she’s sharing today… Christi Snow.
Until next week!

Pages: 92
Genre: New Adult, Paranormal Romance
Natalie Lombard didn’t set out to be the queen bitch of Anderson High, but that’s what she is. She also never planned on letting everybody know how badly she wants a werewolf football player in her life, but it’s the worst kept secret at school.
What they don’t know is Natalie needs protection and the only ones she thinks stand a chance against her worst nightmare are the wolves.
Mason Armstrong held his tongue as Natalie dated her way through the team. He wants her to want him, not settle for the biggest, quietest wolf in the pack because he’s the only one who will have her.
Finding out what drives her serial dating makes his wolf see red.
But figuring out how to fix her problem is only the beginning. Once her issues get taken care of, will she even want a wolf?
As a reminder, books 1 & 2 are both on sale to celebrate Mason and Natalie.

Jenny Reynolds may be a mere human, but her life is anything but ordinary.
She’s juggling her senior year of high school, a sick mom, a brother who depends on her, and, oh yeah, there’s the matter of a body in the trunk of her car. As if that isn’t enough, the werewolf quarterback of her high school’s all-shifter football team has started sniffing around.
Evan Carmichael never noticed Jenny as more than the cute girl in his class until the day he smelled blood and death on her. Now she’s all he can think about. And when a werewolf becomes intrigued, he’ll do anything to keep the object of his fascination safe.
Even hide a body.
What’s a girl to do when the most beautiful boy in school wants to help her out of her jam? If she’s smart, she takes him up on the offer…
The Girl Most LikelyAmazon | Barnes and Noble | iTunes | Kobo | Inktera | OysterRelease Date: September 3, 2015
Pages: 89
Genre: New Adult, Paranormal Romance
Lane Tennyson’s greatest wish is to finish out her senior year and disappear into the big city where no one will know her name. Because this town won’t let the girl voted Most Likely to Commit Arson (again) escape her past even though she’s grown up since then and moved on.
Matthias Bridges is content with his place in life. As the second in command to a future alpha, he can see his path laid out for him and it’s a bright one. The only dark spot is the way the girl who intrigues his wolf avoids him like the plague.
So what if she once set a local trailer park on fire? Accidents happen and Lane has grown from a gangly, angry girl into a beautiful, sweet young woman.
Finding out she has every intention of leaving and never coming back after graduation is unacceptable.
Because when a wolf finds his mate, there are no limits to what he’ll do to keep her.
Go forth and see what craziness a snarky cheerleader and the silent enforcer can get into.
