WIP Update 10-10-14
Since I do #8Sunday on Sundays and Meet My Character Monday, I'm going to try to post this WIP updates on Friday, so here is my week:
Monday 10-6-14 -- This week is starting out well. I wrote another chapter in the ghost story. According to my outline for this novel, I only have seven more chapters to go before I finish the first draft. My goal is to finish the first draft by the end of the month, so pray my muse cooperates with my plans.
Now on to a sample of this chapter. Enjoy:
"Michael leapt from Ian’s body the instant they crossed the threshold of Ian’s apartment. “What the hell,” he yelled at Ian, but the other man couldn’t hear him."
Wednesday 10-8-14 -- Worked on the outline for Outcast and expounded on a few scenes today. Here is a peak at what I wrote:
"Daniele didn’t bother to acknowledge my father’s actions or the scathing look her soon-to-be mother-n-law gave her, she simply gave me another warm smile, and turned to face her future husband. She was absolutely radiant, and I chose to focus all of my attention on her and not the eyes boring into me. I had long since grown used to the way my family and Dave’s family detested me and didn’t care if they didn’t like that my sister still loved me despite their hatred."
10-8-14 Editor sent HIM back to me, so I'll be posting snippets from it soon. I started on her grammar notes and will begin her content notes soon. Yep, I have to add things, remove things, and rework things, but all of it will be for the best, I think.
She and I also talked about Immortal. Yes, I know I promised to post excerpts from it, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't like my writing. Kathryn is going to take a look at it though and give me her thoughts.
Friday 10-10-14 -- This ghost story just keeps surprising me. Since the day I wrote the outline for this novel, I only saw one ending, but tonight as I'm working on one of the last chapters, it has taken a slightly different turn. I plan on following it through to the end to see if I like it, but I'm keeping my notes on the original ending just in case. According to the outline I have four more chapters to go, but with the new ending, I don't know.
Here is the line that changed everything: "I’m not saying she doesn’t love you, but this isn’t what she wants.”
Well, that is it for now. Good night everyone. :)

Weekend Writing Warriors - 10-5-14 #8sunday from SHIFTER
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my second Weekend Writing Warriors’ Sunday Snippet post.
Today’s excerpt comes from chapter three of my supernatural romance, Shifter. In this scene, Abby is adopting Dimitri, who still in cat form, though she doesn’t know he is really a shapeshifter. The Doctor at the shelter is explaining to Abby that she can’t have him neuter just yet.
“Thank you so much. However, I don’t intend to get him fixed. He is too pretty. I would most definitely want to breed him,” Abby says, stroking my fur.
Oh, thank God. I really didn’t want to have to claw this woman’s eyes out for simply considering doing such a thing to me. I know my penis has gotten me into a lot of trouble as of late, but no man deserves such cruelty, then my excitement dies when I register the word “breed.” There is no way I’m going to mount a cat. That is too creepy to think about, and I’m positive my penis wouldn’t respond anyway.
Want to how Dimitri ended up as a cat? Grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Stop by next weekend to read another snippet from this novel and stop by the Weekend Writing Warriors website to read excerpts from other Weekend Warrior authors.

WIP Update 10-5-14
I haven't gotten to do much writing this week since I'm getting ready for the upcoming release of my next short story, In the Dark. Check back daily for updates. I'm also in the beginning promotional stage with HIM, my suspense/thriller that I'm hoping to release January 2015. Peruse this site to see excerpts from the novel and the novel's amazing cover.
Update 1. I posted this about my ghost story on Tuesday: Another chapter done. Roughly another 8 more to go and the first draft of still untitled Ghost story novel will be complete. This was another stressful chapter to write. Lots of confusing emotions. Here is a sample of what I wrote today:
“Michael,” she whispered, scared that she had done something wrong.
“I…I have to go. I can’t do this with you.”
Update 2. I posted this about Outcast on Wednesday: In working on Outcast today, I had to answer a lot of whys. Why is there tension in this novel and in this family? Why is the main character an outcast? Why didn't her family chose her? Why? Why? Now my brain hurts, but I've figured most of it out and explained why we are where we are in the first chapter. Here is a sample from the chapter I worked on today:
The pack had given the Mr. Alexander a... choice: shun his eldest daughter or keep their middle daughter from being with the man she loves. Mr. Alexander didn’t want to lay the decision off on his middle daughter, but considering he wasn’t going to outcast one daughter just because another had a crush on a guy, Danielle would have to be the one to decide between her sister or her boyfriend.
Update 3. I posted this about the sequel to ALONE on Thursday: Finally, after days and days of mulling this over, I know where I want to go with chapter one. Yes, I know this seems obvious, and I am starting in the obvious place, but when I first started working on the outline for this novel a few weeks back, I went in a different direction. That direction wasn't working for me, so I'm going with the obvious and starting chapter 1 of part 1 minutes after the plane crash. Yes, I have a copy of ALONE sitting beside me as a guide. Hopefully, I don't mess up my own story too much. Here is a teaser from what I've worked on today:
"Sitting the very pregnant Eve in a chair just inside the door so that she could see when they brought Wes in, Vera went to the small kitchen to fetch Eve something to drink in the hopes of staving off the shock of seeing Wes’ body."

Meet My Character Blog Tour: Meet Charles Wallace from Charles Wallace's Favorite Toy
Welcome back to Meet My Character Monday blog tour. Today I want to introduce you to Charles Wallace, the feline companion to the main character of my modern day, fictional, free short story, Charles Wallace’s Favorite Toy.
Charles Wallace is one of my favorite characters to write. He is one of only three feline characters I’ve created. Of the three, I think his is the most interesting. Dimitri doesn’t count, as he is technically a shapeshifter. Charles Wallace is named after the little boy in A Wrinkle in Time, one of mine and the main character in this stories’ favorite novels. In every way Charles Wallace is your typical house cat. He is indifferent to his owners and believes the house is his and his owners are merely tenants. He loves his owner’s Snuggy.
Charles Wallace has two ambitions in life at the start of the story: one, to finally get a hold on that damned pull string dangling from the ceiling fan that has been taunting him since birth, and two, to eat the pile of vomit his owner so thoughtfully left for him on the bed. The problem is that every time he goes near the pile of vomit, his female owner shoos him away. If she would just get off the bed, he could get a taste before she swatted at him again, but when he finally got to that annoying pull string, meeting his first goal of the day, the entire thing had come crashing down on her, and now she won’t get up.
You can read Charles Wallace’s Favorite Toy in its entirety free at Goodreads or download it for free from Smashwords or NOOK.

Meet My Character Blog Tour: Meet Amy from HIM
Morning and welcome back to my MMCM blog tour post. Today I would like to introduce you to Amy Roberts, the main character of HIM, my upcoming fictional suspense thriller. HIM is set in Tennessee just west of Nashville and on an island off the coast of South Carolina. Amy is nineteen years old when the novel begins. She lives with her mother and younger brother. Her father is deceased, and her grandparents are the ones who own the island where most of the novel takes place. Amy likes to read, watch television, and hang out at the mall with her friends, as most teenagers do. She doesn’t have much of a love life due to her traumatic childhood, but she has been tentatively seeing an employee of the resort her grandfather owns.
Amy should have had a normal childhood. She should have had a mother and father who love her, a brother who annoys her, and normal love life, but due to the fact that her father dies of a brain aneurism when she is young, and her uncle spends most of her life molesting her, she doesn’t get any of these things. Amy’s mother doesn’t believe her when she tells her what her uncle has been doing to her, claiming that her daughter is simply seeking attention. Her mother’s disbelief puts a strain on her relationship with her brother, who is torn on what he should believe. Having only known the touch an abusive man, she can’t bring herself to get close to anyone.
Throughout the novel, Amy is on the run from her abuser and learning to love, trust, and fight back with the help of her sort of boyfriend and younger brother.
HIM has a tentative release day of January 2015. To stay up to date with this novel’s progress stop by this site often or like my Facebook page. I’m hoping to start releasing sample chapters on Goodreads and creating a Facebook page next month.

Weekend Writing Warriors - Sunday Snippet from SHIFTER
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my second Weekend Writing Warriors’ Sunday Snippet post.
Today’s excerpt comes from chapter two of my supernatural romance, Shifter. In this scene we meet Dimitri for the first time. We are seeing the world from his new feline point-of-view while he is stuck in a cage in an animal shelter.
“What now,” I want to scream, but I know neither of the women standing in front of my cage can hear me. No one can hear me. I settle for giving them the most annoyed look my new body is able to conjure. They pay me no attention. God, do they have to stand there and stare at me like that? Their big heads bobbing at me from behind the barred door is creepy. They look like bug-eyed aliens from some B-movie examining their latest abduction. I’ve already had the anal probe, what more could they want?
Want to how Dimitri ended up in cage? Grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Meet My Character Blog Tour: Meet Eve from ALONE
Thank you everyone for stopping by my blog. This is my fourth day on this tour. I want to start my post as always by thanking Emmy Gatrell for inviting me on this tour. Don’t forget to stop by her blog as you make your rounds.
Today, I want to introduce you to Evelyn Elaine Hays, Eve for short, from my modern-day, post-apocalyptic novel set in the Deep South, around Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi. Before the sickness that killed every man, woman, and child on the planet, Eve was your typical college student. She lived near campus with her best friend, was madly in love her boyfriend, and only had a tentative idea of what she really wanted to do with her life. After the sickness, Eve became a mother, a doctor, a lover, a wife, a killer, a survivalist, and a leader. She didn’t fall into these roles easily, but she knew if she didn’t make the hard decisions, her world would cease to exist.
Eve’s main conflict and her personal goal throughout the novel are the same: survival. She has to survive a sickness that wipes out over 99% of the world’s population on top of scavenging for food and supplies. She has to survive herself. Fighting the urge to give up, to take her own life, isn’t easy in a world where everyone else is dead. She has to fight against those who have gone insane and who are bent on tearing down what is left of the old world or simply want to satisfy their primal needs before they parish. She has to survive miscarriages, as the sickness doesn’t wait until a person is in the world before it kills them. In order to survive all of this and become the leader her new world needs her to be, she has to learn to become strong, self-sufficient, brave.
Want to know how Eve becomes the woman her people need her to be? Pick up your copy of Alone today. The eBooks are only $3.99 at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Place, and Smashwords. To find out more about this novel, visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Stop by next Monday to meet another one of my characters.
Don’t want to wait a week to meet new and intriguing characters then stop by the following blogs:

Weekend Writing Warriors - Sunday Snippet from SHIFTER
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my first Weekend Writing Warriors’ Sunday Snippet post.
Today’s novel excerpt comes from chapter one of my supernatural romance, Shifter.
“I’m well aware of how long I’ve been alone,” I growled. “Trust me. The empty battery packs in the trashcan by my bed tell me exactly how long I’ve been alone.” Ha, I knew alluding to sex would shut her the hell up.
“T.M.I,” she shouted, and I heard her remove her earpiece in case I decided to expound a little more on what those batteries operate. I could tell she did this because the overly exaggerated gagging noises she made sounded muffled. I laughed at her. Score one for me.
Want to read more of this conversation, grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Drop by next weekend to read another snippet from this novel or stop by the Weekend Writing Warriors website (http://www.wewriwa.com/) to read excerpts from other Weekend Warrior authors.

Today’s novel excerpt comes from chapter one of my supernatural romance, Shifter.
“I’m well aware of how long I’ve been alone,” I growled. “Trust me. The empty battery packs in the trashcan by my bed tell me exactly how long I’ve been alone.” Ha, I knew alluding to sex would shut her the hell up.
“T.M.I,” she shouted, and I heard her remove her earpiece in case I decided to expound a little more on what those batteries operate. I could tell she did this because the overly exaggerated gagging noises she made sounded muffled. I laughed at her. Score one for me.
Want to read more of this conversation, grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Drop by next weekend to read another snippet from this novel or stop by the Weekend Writing Warriors website (http://www.wewriwa.com/) to read excerpts from other Weekend Warrior authors.

Meet the Character Blog Tour: Meet Abby
Thank you everyone for stopping by my blog. This is my first day on this tour. I’m so excited. I want to start my post by again thanking Emmy Gatrell for inviting me on this tour. For those of you who missed my earlier post, Emmy Gatrell has been a voracious reader since an early age and recently launched her own writing career with the highly rated Meanmna: Book One of the Daearen Realms series. The follow up book, Bienn-Theine: Book One of the Daearen Realms continues her success. As the mother of two boys, Emmy continues balancing writing, reading, and parenting—not it that order. She and her family split their time between the North Georgia Mountains and Costa Rica.
Emmy's first character blog is live. If you would like to meet Lilly from her The Daearen Realms Series visit her at her blog.
If you would like to know more about Emmy or pick up a copy of one of her novels visit her: website. You can also visit her on: Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Today I would like to introduce you to the female main character in my supernatural romance, Shifter, Abigail Lynn Sinclair, Abby for short. Abby is nearly thirty years old, and was born and raised in modern day Alabama.
Abby is a recluse. She lives alone, works from home, and even shops online, something her younger sister insists, “is so not natural”. Abby is a loving person who lives for her sister, Carrie, and Carrie’s children. The only decent man in Abby and Carrie’s life, their father, died when they were in high school, but before that their mother divorced their father to marry a man who in their words was an “asshole.” Shortly after their father passed away, their mother ran off with their stepfather, never to be heard from again. Unconsciously, their stepfather became the basis for their future bad relationships.
Carrie married a man who started out in Abby’s words “as Prince Charming but had quickly turned into Lord Voldemort when she found out she was pregnant with their third child.” Abby on the hand fell in love with a man who from day one was physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive. He would starve her when he thought she was too fat, shovel food down her throat if he thought she was too skinny. He would beat her, burn her, and photographed all of this to further demean her. Only through shear dumb luck was she able to escape the relationship with her life and all the evidence of her abuse. Despite being out of the relationship, the abuse she suffered permanently damaged her.
Feeling as if the world will see her the way her ex-boyfriend did, she hides in her home with her work and her cat. Over time, she lets herself go and becomes overweight, which only further perpetuates her feelings of self-loathing. Her sister and the few friends she has try to get her out of the house, to date, to join the world, but it isn’t until she adopts a cat who acts more human than he does feline, has a run in with a crazy woman, and meets a gorgeous man who tells her she is beautiful, that she finally breaks out of her shell. Knowing that she isn’t skinny enough or pretty enough for the new man in her life, she decides that she has to make some big changes in her life. She wants to learn to love herself, excerpt herself for who she is, and to love again.
To find out more about Abby and how she changes her life, read Shifter. This supernatural romance is on sale at most online retailers in either eBook and paperback form. To purchase a copy visit: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, or Smashwords. To find out more about this novel visit the novel’s Facebook and Goodreads pages.

Stop my next Monday to meet another one of my characters from Shifter and to meet Mardi Maxwell the author of The Doms of Club Mystique series. On her blog, she will be introducing us to one of her wonderful characters.
Here is what Marti has to say about herself:
“I was born in Utah but I've lived in sunny California, hot and dry west Texas, and the moun-tains of Colorado. I wrote and sent in my first book in 2013 and to my surprise it was accepted. Since then I've written three more books in The Doms of Club Mystique series.
When I'm not writing I'm reading, gardening, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends. I've just begun doing ceramics again (I'll post some of my projects on my blog) and I try to swim several times a week. The rest of my time is spent cleaning and refilling the birdbath and birdfeeders in my yard (greedy birds) and traveling.”
