Busy Bee… Book/Podcast Life
Ugh. Life is like a raggedy rollercoaster that I can’t get off of and I’m blindfolded. Is anyone else feeling like this or is it just me? Things that make you say hmmm.
I’ve been keeping my head afloat, but I can’t lie, it’s been super hard. My son with mental health issues has been having a lot of psychotic episodes and it makes it hard for me to do anything. I am mentally, physically, and spiritually drained. My stress hives have been coming in full force as well as my autoimmune flare-ups kicking my butt.
Oh, well. The show must go on.
In other news, I knocked out a swag order for the amazingly talented Andi Lynn. She’s such a doll. I’ve also sold a few covers and gotten two more swag orders so I’ll be getting all of that done within the next week or two. I am trying to pace myself with swag, cover design, writing, promoting, and P.A.’ing; however, I’m not very good at pacing myself. I’m stuck in ‘hurry up and get it done’ mode. I blame the Army for that mentality. Although, they did ‘hurry up and wait’ so I guess I should be more specific about which part of the Army I blame. (HA!) ((I blame Iraq and Afghanistan.))
My book podcast has been well-received and I am so blessed & excited about it. Starting a podcast was a dream and now it’s a reality. I have two episodes out already and have four more lined up. One will be coming out this weekend.
Two links but go to the same book podcast.

I’m revved up for this book!
Happy Release Day to my dear friend & naggy-twin Author Andi Lynn. She poured her little heart out in this baby!
Amazon/KindleUnlimited:
https://smarturl.it/RazorsEdgeAL
Ever since Vixen convinced her to go with her and the new biker friends she had made, Edge has known nothing but pain and suffering. She’s been beaten, brutalized, and pushed to her breaking point. She continues to fight for herself, for Vixen, and for the woman she wants to be, always believing that one day, she’ll escape this hell she now calls her life. She never thought it would be at another club’s hands.
Finding the love she has always known she deserved, she starts helping the people that have come to mean so much to her in her newfound freedom. She never expects that the man who gave her this opportunity will be the one to break her. This time, she can’t stay, not even for Vixen.
Ever since Hell’s Sacrifice MC showed up that fateful night and pulled Razor from the gutters, he’s had it all – brothers, freedom, family, the best computer system in the world. Topping it all, he finds the woman of his dreams. All of his sacrifices made are for the ideal that blood is thicker than water. His lies and omissions are made to save lives, even when it’s at the cost of his own happiness. He just never imagined that it could possibly cost him everything.
*Suitable for ages 18+ due to adult language, content, and situations.*

New Mafia Romance
The big sister has arrived & she’s taking no prisoners. The Made Daughter is ready for your ebook reader
CHAPTER ONE
Arianna
The sun peeks through the curtains in my office as I go over the numbers in the books. The warmth on my back is refreshing. Things have been hell the past few weeks with my father and his crew slain in the streets of Trenton. A public display of the firepower and strength the Polish Mob holds.
“Franciszek Nowak! You mother f*cker!” I scream, slamming my fists down on the desk.
Franciszek Nowak– Polish mob boss– is to blame for everything that happened. He called the shots. Literally. He’s the reason my mother had to bury her husband, and my sisters and me our father.
“Are you okay, Boss?” Carlo asks me.
When I took over as the head of the family there was some resistance amongst the ranks. A few didn’t want to work for a girl. However, they quickly learned that I had more balls than all of them put together and with the squeeze of the trigger, I silenced those who made snide comments or outright refused to follow my orders.
Carlo Russo was my father’s soldier. He had shown his loyalty to the Romano Family since I was a little girl. And, when my father was murdered and I took his place, Carlo stood faithfully by my side. It was only right that I promoted him to my right-hand man. He now oversees the ninety-eight soldiers under me.
“I’m fine, Carlo,” I sigh heavily. “What’s on the agenda today?”
“Not a whole lot. Nothing for you to worry about really. We have it under control, Boss,” he said, causing me to lean back in my chair with my eyebrow rose.
“That’s not convincing.”
“I swear,” he chuckles. “Things are pretty quiet around here now that you’ve taken over.”
Quiet? I wasn’t sure if that was a compliment or an insult. Did he mean that business wasn’t good? Or was he just referring to the fact Popov and his crew hadn’t made any more statements?
“Boss, it’s nothing bad. I swear,” Carlo continues, holding his hands up in a surrendering manner. “I just mean that there haven’t been any hits or buildings burned in a while. It’s a good thing. It means word has gotten around that you’re a force to be reckoned with.”
“If you tap dance any faster, you might get your cardio in for the day,” I smirk, making him laugh.
“Not tap-dancing, Boss. I’m just saying that the city knows that you’re…” His words dwindle to nothing. No doubt because he was searching for the right words to use.
“What? That I’m psychotic?” I ask. My head tilted slightly, in a questioning manner.
Benny and Frankie, who are standing guard by the door, nearly die. Their eyes are wide and they choke on the breath they take. They quickly look at Carlo, who also looks mortified.
“Never. I would never call you that. Ever. Boss, I swear. That’s not what–” Carlo rambles.
“Relax, boys. I’m only teasing,” I laugh. The tension in the room settles. All three of them let out a sigh of relief. “I’m okay with being known as the psychotic one if it means no one f*cks with this city.”
“They definitely know you don’t play, Signorina Romano,” Benny smiles.
Everyone under me calls me Signorina Romano or Boss. The two are interchangeable and powerful. They are reminders that I’m no longer my Papa’s little girl.
“Good. Because it’s really tiresome setting examples throughout the city. Ya know?”
“I told you that I’d do the job, Boss,” Carlo states. “You don’t need to get your hands dirty.”
“I know. I don’t mind,” I shrug. “I have to earn my keep just like everyone else.”
My words earn me grins and nods of respect from the guys. I’d be a liar if I said it wasn’t nice to have their respect. Respect isn’t a must; however, it makes things easier and safer for me because I know my back is safe turned to them.
The sound of a phone ringing pulls my attention back to the room. Carlo fishes his phone out of his pocket and puts it up to his ear.
“Yeah?” he answers. Whatever the person says has Carlo frowning. His free hand grips the arm of his chair. “What the f*ck do you mean?”
My attention is now fully on Carlo and his conversation. Benny and Frankie are pretending to not listen, but they’re shitty actors. Definitely not winning any awards for their acting skills.
Carlo continues listening to the person and occasionally responds with short answers. His responses aren’t telling me shit. I hate guessing games. He has one more minute before I demand he put the damn call on speakerphone.
“Boss?” Carlo says, pulling the phone away from his ear.
“Yes?” I ask unamused.
“Mikołaj just landed at J.F.K.” His words make my blood run cold and my heart pounds like a drum. I take slow breaths to ease the beast inside me, threatening to roar its ugly head. My hands brace the desk and my eyes narrow in on Carlo.
“Please, don’t shoot me,” he pleads.
“Have him tailed. I want to know every damn detail of that f*cker’s day. Every. F*cking. Detail. Understood?”
“You got it, Boss,” he nods, then brings the phone back to his ear. “Follow him. Don’t let him out of your sight. Send me your location in an hour. I’ll send some guys over there for backup. Do not f*cking lose him. If you do…” Carlo glances at me then looks out the window. “It’ll be in your best f*cking interest to not lose him. Capiche?”
Carlo hangs up the phone. I watch his body tense as he slowly brings his attention to me. There’s fear in his eyes. Maybe because he thinks my temper is about to get the best of me and everyone in my path will feel my wrath. Or maybe it’s just simply the unknown.
“This is good news. We finally have eyes on him, Boss,” he smiles. His way of trying to ease the rage he knows is coursing through my veins.
Mikołaj is the man responsible for killing my father. There were many Polish soldiers there that night, but Mikołaj is the one who put a bullet in my father. I know this because he proudly voiced it throughout the city and then high-tailed it out of the country to Poland.
“That f*cking p*ssy,” I growl. “I want him brought to me alive.”
Carlo stands up and gestures to Benny and Frankie. All three of them stand tall like true soldiers before lowering their heads slightly and saying in unison, “Consideralo fatto, Signorina Romano.” Consider it done.
