Book 1 of the Werewolf Mafia is out

For Officer Violet Malone it's the opportunity she's been hoping for. After years of serving on the mean streets as a beat cop, she finally has a chance to get back to the undercover work she loves. So when she gets summoned by the Vampire High King to infiltrate the Werewolf Mafia, she quickly takes the job. But what she doesn't count on is how steamy it can get working with sexy ex-werewolf Black Jack Heckle, or dealing with the terrible new animal he has turned himself into.






Wikileaks: Knowing your facts before opening your mouth

I listen to NPR because I'm a nerd and I like to become enraged by current events. Well some clown called in on the subject of Assange's arrest for raping TWO women and said...for reasons I can't possibly understand...that he beleived the Swiss were pursuing rape charges against the Wikileaks founder because a condom broke and that's a crime in Sweden. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
What the hell is wrong with people and their aggressive defense of willful ignorance? Was this man THERE when the sex act was going on between Assange and these women? NO...So how can you say he's being prosecuted for a broken condom? WTF? That's probably one of the most stupid things I've ever heard.
Now I don't know if these women's charges are accurate or not. I'm going to wait for the facts to come out. But I think Assange is a coward for not facing the charges like a man and running off to hide instead. He seems to have a lot of secrecy for someone who claims to be so innocent. Those are usually the most wicked and perverse people of all.

F.U. Song/I love this song

This is the explicit version so if your not a fan of swearing don't listen. I love this song, it sums up a lot and Green is very talented. Here's to you my friend!

Whining about body scanners

I'm beginning to think we live on one of the most whiny nations on earth. People are now whining about the searches they have to go through to get on an airplane. Please. Is it better to die in an explosion from a terrorist bomb? What the hell are people thinking? It only takes a few seconds people! Get over it.

If this is the worst thing that happens to you in your life, consider yourself damn lucky.

So many things can throw off your writing

I haven't been blogging in a while because real life has been driving me crazy. Between house hunting, which has now been called off, and trying to help my niece in school, everything seems to be conspiring to upset me. Thankfully things are getting back to normal. I don't think I can deal with my two Jack Russell terriers bitching at each other anymore. What on earth is the deal with terriers anyway?

But anyway, at least I've been making some decent progress on Siren Warrior 10 which has yet to be named. This one has a strong S&M vibe which is proving to be very cool. As for other projects I'm working on an interracial werewolf story that I think is going to be really cool. In addition the new year will bring the release of the first of the Werewolf Mafia books and another hot android story. Hope you all stay tuned for lots of erotic romance adventure plus I'm planning to write a nonerotic fantasy series for Whisky Creek.

If you are gay...

There is nothing wrong with you and you should not be ashamed. Tim Gunn said it better than I ever could. Killing yourself is not the answer, so many people love you, don't give up.  Tim Gunn's message to gay youth

Businesses trying to attach themselves to my credit card

Am I the only person who hates it when a company puts in a gotcha clause?  I wanted to buy a subscription to the New York Times for Sunday delivery when I read the footnote that said the discount rate is good for one year THEN they continue to charge your credit card the normal rate.  I don't mind the normal rate part but I intensely dislike them trying to continue to charge my account as they please.

I've had bad luck with something like this.  Businesses charge and charge, and sometimes you never get the product and forget trying to get a hold of a person because they've fired all the customer service people and shipped their jobs to India (no offense to my Indian-American friends).  If I want to keep the service going, I want to be able to do it myself, I don't want the company ASSUMING I do and keep charging me up the wazoo.  That's just plain wrong.

Read some great new books

I have been reading some great books lately.  The first one was A Reliable Wife available from Amazon.  This book is beautiful and haunting, easily one of the best books I've ever read.  For those of you whole love tales of redemption and love, this is for you.  I don't want to say too much so I won't spoil it for you.

The next book is Matterhorn, a tragic tale of a Marine in the jungles of Vietnam.  His struggles for survival and sanity amidst all the killing and chaos is truely heartwrenching and definately worth the 566 pages.  A real winner that will reach into your heart and tear it to pieces.
