He’s waited more than 900 years to love her…
Forged by Fate (Bound by Hades #1) is live!
Being the Gatekeeper to Hades is no small feat, and waiting almost a millennia to meet your mate is damn near impossible. But Theo Bradford’s mark has finally surfaced on his intended. Now all he has to do is find her and convince her to embrace her supernatural heritage.
Young genius, Sadie Nowland, has got life figured out. Graduating college at the age of eighteen and accepting a six-figure job is just what she needs to prove she’s made something of herself. But when a strange tattoo mysteriously appears on her shoulder and Theo starts talking about Mates, it catapults her neatly laid out life into chaos.
Targeted by a vicious demon escaped from Hades, Sadie is thrust into the volatile world of Shomrei warriors and a connection to Theo her brain can’t comprehend and her body can’t deny. That primal bond proves more imperative to their survival than either could have ever imagined—and just may be the key to the world’s survival.
Available at: Kindle US, Kindle UK, Kindle CA, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, iBook

THE END!
Time to celebrate! I typed THE END to my latest work in progress (WIP). I’d started it early last month, but 8,000 words into it, I had to focus on Forged by Fate edits.
Totally okay with that!
Interestingly, the edits on Forged by Fate helped this new project of mine (still untitled) because t’s the third in a spinoff series from Forged by Fate!
I’m pretty excited about to have finally finished writing the story, but now it’s time to work out a title. Heck, I’ve not even titled the first two books yet…so there’s a lot to do yet, including editing. It should be super fun, though, because I loved these side characters in the Bound by Hades books, so it’s fun to see them get their own books!
December 9th, is the release of Forged by Fate, so mark your calendars. I’ve seen the blog tour schedule and we’re looking to have some serious fun during release time. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss a thing.
Read on, my friends!

#Reviewers needed
Wow. I can tell we’re really getting close to the December 9th release date of Forged by Fate because REVIEW COPIES are now available!
My publicist set up a document to sign up for a review copy, so click HERE to put in your information! She’ll take it from there.
And spread the word to your blogger friends.
Here’s the blurb created by Super Editor, Karen Grove:
Forged by Fate (Bound by Hades #1)
He’s waited more than 900 years to love her…Being the Gatekeeper to Hades is no small feat, and waiting almost a millennia to meet your mate is damn near impossible. But Theo Bradford’s mark has finally surfaced on his intended. Now all he has to do is find her and convince her to embrace her supernatural heritage.
Young genius, Sadie Nowland, has got life figured out. Graduating college at the age of eighteen and accepting a six-figure job is just what she needs to prove she’s made something of herself. But when a strange tattoo mysteriously appears on her shoulder and Theo starts talking about Mates, it catapults her neatly laid out life into chaos.
Somehow a vicious demon banished to Hades defies Theo’s vanquish and returns, setting his target on Sadie, and she is thrust into the volatile world of Shomrei warriors and a connection to Theo her brain can’t comprehend and her body can’t deny. That primal bond proves more imperative to their survival than either could have ever imagined—and just may be the key to the world’s survival
I see we have a final cover available, so as soon as I get my hands on one, I’ll be sure to post it here.

We’re getting closer…
Forged by Fate here we come. Looks we’ll have a December release and guess what…I’ve seen a draft of the cover.
***jumps up and down***
I can’t wait to show you guys. It’s so fun to see Theo and Sadie take shape. I’m not one to get pictures of my characters from the internet or pick actors that might represent my characters…but I’ll tell ya, the models the designers picked for the Forged by Fate cover were spot on.
I’m really impressed with their design and I can’t wait to show you.
Stay tuned…

Soul Saver Snippet
I’ve been seeing a little more books with first person point of view (POV) from more than one character–mainly the hero and heroine.
What I remember about first person POV was that it was from one character, throughout the whole book (Like my Wasteland Trilogy)–but the idea of doing first person POV for both…I’m on board.
So, I’m re-working one of my works in progress that was only the heroine’s first person POV to both.
WOW. I’m having so much fun.
I thought I’d share a little snippet of Soul Saver. It’s Tanner’s POV. He’s an Empath, and in this scene, he gets to touch the heroine, Morgan (former druggie/prostitute) for the very first time:
~~~~
Part of the gifts we got from Almighty. Unique steel-colored eyes after we were chosen. Mine didn’t carry the Sight like hers, but the power she’d inherited only enhanced the beauty. I loved how the skin creased below her left eye, forming a dimple when she smiled. The longest eyelashes I’d ever seen shadowed her irises and curled up at the ends.
Mesmerizing.
Holding her gaze, I slowly reached for her hand. My fingertips grazed the back, and her skin felt as silky as I’d imagined it would. Hell, I’d dreamt of feeling all of her skin several times.
Following the throbbing vein between her middle and ring fingers I traced the curve of her wrist bone to the inner side.
My breath hitched at the same time hers did.
I brushed my fingers over the sensitive flesh until they met her palm. One by one, I twined my fingers with hers, basking in the warmth surging from her skin. I couldn’t pull my gaze from the sight of it. My body absorbed every spark of energy from the contact.
Once each finger twined with hers, I curled them closed, holding her hand tight, my palm open to hers. Pulses of electricity cascaded up my arm and settled in my chest.
She tightened her fingers, consummating our connection. I drew in a quick breath and heard her do the same. She looked at me with wide, dilated eyes.
Surprise, respect, desire all coiled around my spine, but I couldn’t tell if they were my emotions or hers. Or maybe both, just intermingled. Fused together.
I’d finally touched her. Something I’d wanted to do for nearly six weeks.

Music, Movies, and More…
Music rocks my world when it comes to writing. I get me a good song and I’m known for putting it on repeat through entire chapters…maybe even more. Day after day!
Right now I’m building my Forged by Fate playlist. Got a few cool ones….
Not Gonna Die, by Skillet:
Paralyzer, by Finger Eleven:
Songs don’t just keep me going while writing, either. I have my iPod rocking the earbuds with some high energy tunes while I’m training for my first ever marathon…
Tell me, what songs are rocking your world right now?
What gets you moving when you need a lift?
MOVIE TIME!
Releases July 26th:
The Wolverine!
Who’s excited for this one? I know I am. For him to be….MORTAL? Oh my goodness. Can’t wait to see this process.
Seeing any movies any time soon? Which ones are you looking forward to seeing this summer?
