COVERS REVEALED

Here is my beautiful cover that was created by Evanlea Publishing & Designs
Roar of Her Own Blurb
Hideaway Falls was the last place that Zara Nez wanted to be. The reservation filled with her loved ones was once beautiful in her eyes. The beauty no longer there for it was tainted by an ugly beast that she once loved.
With each visit, it became harder and harder to hide the pain she felt. A pain of her never forgotten past- Rogue Pezi. It was a love that was supposed to last forever. The love shattered in pieces when Rogue hightailed it from her and never looked back.
Now fate has brought them back together by an arranged marriage. Rogue has been chosen by the ancestors to be the next headman to their feline clan. Zara is the only link left to the current headman’s bloodline. Marrying Zara is the only way for Rogue to take his responsibility for the clan.
Zara’s desire for Rogue is ignited once more when the two come face to face. After nearly a decade, everything shifts within her. The anger she felt towards him disappears. The coldness melts from her heart. She needs him back in her life. More than ever. However, as usual, Rogue is ready to run from both the responsibilities of being the headman and Zara.
Will Zara be able to claim this scaredy cat or will he once again flee?

Article Alley did a blog on one of the authors in the anthology that I am in
Pre-Order Available!
Hello, Lovelies! Happy Tuesday!
My series Fates Intertwined has been brought to life (insert mad scientist laugh). Kiss of a Vampire has entered the world via My Fated Valentine Anthology, which is available now on Amazon. Bite of a Lierum is my next creation that is available for preorder now & goes live (evil laugh) on March 1st!
Bite of a Lierum
Fate has a funny way of crossing the paths of those who are unlikely to meet on their own.
For years, Faith hunted the infected vampires refusing to give up until they no longer existed. Nothing else in life mattered to Faith. Her life was simply to see an end to the rogue vampires. However, Fate had different plans for Faith. This journey that she had chosen was leading her to another purpose in life.
The life Faith had chosen made her keep most beings away from her, except for a pack of Lierums. They had fought side by side in battles and in the end, an unexpected bond was formed. For once, she wasn’t alone, but there was only one problem. Within this pack of Lierums was Elijah. He was the only being who could ignite feelings within her that she never knew existed.
Faith is ready to flee to escape her feelings and Elijah is prepared to chase her. Will Fate be able to hold on to the reins with its plans for Faith and Elijah or will Faith slip through Fate’s hands?

Parenting Solo
Parenting solo & there is no red solo cup involved!
So, hubby is still away to Samoa handling family matters, which means the kids are 24-7 under my care. On top of that! The schools here have been out for the past 5 days! And, on top of that! My son with the challenges (autism, mood disorder, and observed for Schizophrenia) is now going through med changes!!! My house has been a war zone. The calm before the storm never came. The storm just keeps coming over and over again. The raindrops are the size of kittens and my umbrella (mind) is filled with holes & frail.
[image error]
That is me battling my son & his meltdowns
People often ask what my life is. That’s easy to explain: Get on a roller coaster blindfolded while you have a killer migraine and try to read a book. Yep! My life is crazy with a capital C. We have good moments (that’s when the roller coaster is going up) and I cherish those moments. However, we have bad moments (That’s when the roller coaster plumages towards the ground and you hope the roller coaster doesn’t derail)
Over the past weeks, due to med changes and med dosage changes, life has been exciting. That’s somewhat sarcastic. My son has been flipping out over the most ridiculous things. I have to walk on eggshells or deal with a pissed off 13-year-old with the strength of a bull on speed. Just yesterday, I didn’t walk on the eggshells, he got pissed off and went on a rampage, which included spitting in my face, calling me HORRID names and tossing his room. Yeah, that was fun. He did throw a few hits in. Mama bear came out then.
I have to remember that he does have special needs and that his body is under a lot of changes (puberty, med changes, etc.); however, it does not excuse his behavior! Verbally assaulting and/or physically assaulting someone is not acceptable. Due to his mindset (comprehensive), consequences vary. What works one day, might not work again for a few months. I have to take it in strides and be a flexible parent. I know there are so many parents/caregivers out there struggling with this day in and day out. Just know that you are not alone.

Shyness & Awesomeness
[image error] It is time to meet another author from the paranormal romance anthology, A Guide to Claiming a Scaredy Cat anthology!
If you were to throw shyness and awesomeness into a blender you would get my co-coordinator of this anthology, one of my fave authors & my sista’ from another mista’- Author Josette Reuel!!
Josette and I met through another analogy & we have been inseparable since then! No, seriously, if one of us goes quiet, the other one goes through separation anxiety/withdrawal! :p She is quite the friend, quite the author, and quite a woman. I am very happy to have crossed paths with her.
[image error]
Okay, enough rambling about our friendship, let’s take a peek into her life and into what makes her-her…
[image error]
Where are you from? Do you have children? Pet? Married?
I have spent 45 years (on February 26th) in Central Ohio. I live on 2 acres surrounded by farmland that has been in my husband’s family for over one hundred years. We have a daughter who is finishing her Baking and Pastry Arts Associates degree and a son who just turned eighteen and is stressing over having to become an adult. I love animals and we’ve always had pets. I have two black cats that are outside mousers (I’d have them inside if my husband would let me). My son and daughter both have a dog. My son has a rat and I guess his sister is giving him her hermit crabs – she also gave him the rat, by the way. And, we have six rabbits at the moment that my son is raising for his last year in 4-H.
Have you ever visited or lived abroad (overseas)? If so, where? Did you like it?
When I was eighteen my parents paid for me to travel to visit my boyfriend in Norway. I stayed with his family for three months before returning to attend college. I totally wanted to stay. It was so beautiful there. I met him while he was an exchange student in Ohio my Junior year of high school. It’s not “overseas” but I’ve been to Canada a few times and met some amazing authors and readers at the Ignite Your Soul Author Event. I’ll be returning for my third year in September.
Besides writing, what is your passion?
Anyone have time for anything other than writing? LOL Seriously, I love any sort of creative project. I was an art major when I first went to college and love crafts. I make my own book covers, graphics, and swag. I even have a site to sell my services for a reasonable price to other indie authors. One of the best things is to use my talents to make someone a gift, the joy that I can bring others just by using some of my own time is priceless.
Biggest pet peeve?
Being asked silly questions. Just kidding. My biggest pet peeve is to be talked over. Just because I’m quieter or I take time to put my thoughts together doesn’t mean I don’t want to have my say. It’s been ingrained in me to be polite and not interrupt others while they are talking. However, not everyone has learned that lesson.
What genre do you write in? Do you read mostly in this genre too?
I write Paranormal Romance. The majority of what I read falls within PNR. However, I’m open to any good story. Being a Sci Fi geek from way back, I love anything with a science fiction, fantasy, or paranormal twist. And, romance has definitely become my genre of choice.
What inspired you to write books?
I have enjoyed books and stories from the time I was very small. So, the written word has always been there. Unfortunately, life took me a different direction and I was forty years old before I seriously considered trying to publish. I’d recently began reading again (kids and work had stolen my reading time for many years) and met some online book lovers who encouraged me to try writing. My family were very supportive and in 2014 my husband told me to quit my full-time job and write full-time instead. My first novel was published in September, 2014.
If you could only have one book in your personal library, what would that book be? And why?
A Kindle because I could have all of my favorites LOL I seriously don’t have one book that is my all-time favorite. If I love a book, I read more by that author, but I read so many that one doesn’t stand out over another. They all have their place in my life. The moments that they helped me to escape reality and travel to another world.
With the paranormal romance anthology, A Guide to Claiming a Scaredy Cat, will your readers see a different writing style or do you always stick to the same writing style?
I will write the story the way I have written all of my others, I will allow it to guide me where it wants to go. I think each of my stories have a style of their own, but all of my writing does have a consistent voice. At least I think so. Might want to ask my beta crew and see if they’d agree.
Now for the fun stuff:
Are you a coffee or tea drinker (Which do you prefer)?
Chai tea
What is one food/beverage that you could never give up?
Cherry Coke (I’ve tried)
Unicorn or Dragons- Which team would you be on?
Dragons no contest.
If a zombie apocalypse happened and you had to choose two items from the following list of items, which one would you choose and why? Titanium baseball bat, running shoes, a shotgun with two cases of shells, a novel by your favorite author, Samurai sword, a Knight’s armor suits, semi-truck filled with chocolate, or a puppy/kitten?
Samurai sword for protection and it’s always ready and doesn’t run out of ammo. I’m torn between the semi of chocolate and the kitten. A girl always needs her chocolate, but a kitten could be your friend and help keep you warm at night.
What is one silly, fun, or nerdy fact about you?
I have a mutant heart LOL I always forget the term for it, but the trunk that branches out of the top of my heart, one branch goes to your right brain and one branch goes to your right arm. Well, the one for my arm actually comes out of the left side of my heart, wraps around the back and goes down my arm. The doctor was adamant that it was a “typical deviation from the normal anatomy,” but I prefer to just say I’m a mutant.
I found this on Google- Josette would NEVER post something like this!! LOL

Awesomeness from Alaska
This picture does NOT do this gift justice!!!
Originally, I was going to take a picture holding this awesome stuff from an amazing person in Alaska!!! That was my goal. I didn’t care how crappy I looked because I was oooooh to excited & wanted to share the picture with all of you. However, shortly after receiving this amazing gift, my life changed forever. (Bittersweet…somewhat of a pun)
Even though it has been a few days, it does not take away the awesomeness of this gift. I cannot wait for things to settle around here so I can make that tea (so excited to try it) and enjoy those chocolates!

Witty and Smart!
The paranormal romance anthology that I am co-coordinating and an author in is in full swing! I keep singing praise about the authors that I am getting to work with, but seriously, they are all amazing! I can’t get enough of them, their charm, and their writing! A great group of people to work with.
I was able to interview another one of these awesome-sauces- Edward Blackwood! He is such a great guy. Without telling you my thoughts on him, I will let him tell you himself
Pre-Order, Today! :)

Interview with S.E. Issac!
As part of the A Guide to Claiming a Scaredy Cat Anthology I’ve met some really great people and amazing authors. One of them is S.E Issac, who has a blog named Monster in the Cookie Jar.
This is one amazing lady, lemme tell you. I don’t know her all that well yet but I’ve spoken to her several times and I can say that she is upbeat, helpful, positive and cheerful.
She’s a child of military parents, a veteran herself, and been through a whack of crap that life has a habit of throwing at you.
And I was lucky enough to be able to be interviewed by her.
You can read it over here at Monster in the Cookie Jar: Spunk & Honesty!
Have a wonderful day! I am going to do a bunch of math review and make ginger snap cookies.
I have a craving.
Muah!
