Free book alert: Scorched Earth (October 21-22)

Peyton Riley is running for her life.
She's always been a survivor, but she's never been in a pickle like this. Her boss, the man she had come to fear and respect, and the only constant in her peripatetic and dangerous life, is after her–and it doesn't seem like he intends a harmless catch-up. But he's not the only one looking for Peyton. There's her sometime partner-in-crime and occasional hook-up (it's complicated) Carson Varis. Law enforcement is also interested in her boss's shadowy business dealings, thinking she's the key to unraveling them.
And then there are those dealings themselves. What's her boss up to? Somehow, Peyton doesn't think getting back at a former employee is the worst thing on his agenda…
Scorched Earth is FREE on Amazon from October 21-22! A gift from me to you because I'm really excited for #FeelsFest. :)

Takedown Trilogy: Blog Tour and raffle WINNERS!

Gette G. aka Pinay Nobelista, asked me this:
What is the best part of being a romance author?Bookbed.org also asked me all about being a writer and the Takedown series in particular, which prompted this gem:
It’s a powerful thing, being able to evoke powerful feelings in people. I guess it’s easier to scare or disgust a person than to make them relive their happiest memories of love — or desire or attraction. Being able to do that, in however small way, is awesome.
How do you plan out the fight/action scenes in your books? On that note, how about the steamy scenes?Hahaha huhuhu did I really say 'fighting and f***ing' #facepalm
I already know what they’re going to do, in my head, because I see it like I see a movie. But getting it from my head, from a visual place, to paper, is difficult. For me, fighting and, er, f***ing scenes are both action scenes, and the process of writing them is similar. They are both tricky in the sense that they’re both what I like to call ‘verb’ pieces. It’s very easy to fall into a trap with verb pieces to become choppy, like ‘He did this. Then she did this. And then he did this back.’ And that’s a pain to read. The challenge for me is to accurately describe what’s going on, but mimic the tempo and flow of what’s happening with the writing style. So with a fight scene, I could do like a staccato rhythm and try to write around some actions to get that sense of dread and adrenaline going on.
Alice Kamatis wrote a two-part review of the series!
While reading the second book, I stumbled upon a quote in social media that books talk to you and this one does. I wanted to tell Peyton to swallow your damn pride woman, there's a perfectly good catch you have there and he's in love with you, but of course I couldn't blame Peyton.The blog tour also included stops at Carmel & Kyla's blog, Writing & Lovin' It and Beth G's Stories.

Scorched Earth launches; plus: a playlist!

It’s funny to think that this whole thing started out with a simple prompt to write a steamy romance set in a beach. Little did I know it would snowball into this crazy story with trips to a fictitious Pacific Island and all around Europe, assumed identities, art heists, double-crosses and even a love triangle. Getting to ‘The end’ wasn’t easy. Fleshing out the outline felt less like beefing up a skeleton and more of trying to write myself out of a hedge maze.Read the rest of the piece over at Will Read For Feels!
