Hump Day



Well, the middle of the week has arrived and I have to say, I’m glad for that. Means only two more days until the weekend and I am looking forward to two days off. Though it never feels like enough time away from the EDJ. 🙂

I never thought 2k would go so slow. I’m so close to being done with Fighting Dragons, yet I can’t seem to find the time to sit down and finish the silly thing. I’m going to do that tonight. No matter what, I’m going to get what needs to be written done. Yay! Then I can work on the story Carol Lynne and I are writing together. Have to get my half of the chapter finished soon. lol.

That’s it. Nothing new to report, so I’ll just say I hope you all have a great Hump day. 🙂

The rat race begins again….


So it begans again…lol. Nice and wet as well. Yay! Mondays are always so much fun to begin with and chilly and rainy.

The website didn’t happen, so that goes on my list to get done at some other point. But I’m only a scene or two away from finishing Fighting Dragons.

I watched a documentary on Bon Jovi yesterday and, of course, ended up with a story idea from something Jon Bon Jovi said…lol. I wrote the idea down because I didn’t want to forget it. We’ll see how long it takes before I can work on it.

Well, I hope you all have a great Monday…hope it’s drier than mine is.

Bitter Creek’s Redemption is in print…..


and available from Amazon. Click here to check it out. 🙂

T.G.I.F…



This week has seemed a lot longer than it probably was. 🙂 But I’m ready for the countdown…lol. Now, if I can just get through the rest of the day.

Fighting Dragons is going well. I’m about 4-5k away from being done. I should be getting most of that done over the weekend, even though I plan on finally overhauling my website. If that happens, and it works (since I’m going to learn how to do it all myself instead of relying on others to do it for me) my blog will probably be moving, but don’t change your bookmarks yet. I’ll definitely post if that happens or not. 🙂

Been sneaking in a little writing on a couple of other stories as well as FD, just to give myself a little break from that story.

Oh, I normally don’t get political or anything like that on my blog, but I have to announce the news. Finally, the Matthew Shepherd and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act passed and will be on its way to President Obama to be signed. It expands the hate crimes bill to include any crimes against people because of their sexual orientation. Matthew Shepherd was a gay college student killed eleven years ago in Wyoming for being gay. James Byrd Jr. was an African-American man who was killed by white supremacists in Texas in 1998 as well. Both murders were gut-wrenchingly horrific. Both the Shepherd and Byrd families deserve our thanks for presevering though all the long years of struggling to get this bill passed. And thank you to all those Congressmen and women who voted for this bill, though I might want to say, it should have been passed much sooner, but at least you did it right this time.

I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Just another Hump day…



This series of photographs is great. I really like this model. 🙂

Hmm…what to talk about? It looks like Bastet is going to be a hit. That’s always good. I’d hate to start a blog story and have everyone hate it…lol. That would really suck. Since I just started their story, I’m learning about the characters like you are, as each scene and chapter plays out.

Fighting Dragons is coming along and I’m starting to get ready to finish up His Heart’s Home, which will move up to the head of the line as soon as I hit ‘send’ on FD. While I’m finishing HHH, I’ll be working on another vampire story. Once that’s done, I’ll be working on JT’s story (Tyler’s brother from Bound by Love) along with Rover’s story, I think. Even though it seems and sounds like I’m organized, I try not to pin myself down too much. Never know what story will end up taking over for a while. But those are my general plans for now.

I have a long list of at least thirty stories that I want/need to finish, and I have to admit that a majority of them have something, even if it’s only 200 words, written on them. It’s just a matter of taking my time and going down the list. Of course, if I think about it too much, I’ll wind up in a corner, crying because I’m overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of the job…lol.

Well, I hope you have a great Wednesday. 🙂

Forgot…



okay…so I picked out the picture I wanted to post today and then completelyforgot to post anything…lol. I was sitting here wondering why no one had commented yet, when suddenly I went…’It’s because you didn’t post anything, dummie!’ Ugh!

My mind must be fried from having to come back to work. Everything went well with getting my teeth out, though now I have a nice bruise on my jaw. Looks like someone punched me. 🙂

Well, I finished my first set of edits for With This Ring. Yay! And I submitted Understanding the Past. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything about it. I have accomplished a lot today for all that I don’t want to be at work..lol

Bastet will start tomorrow and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I think I’ll enjoy writing it.

I promise to post a lot sooner tomorrow. 🙂 Have a great rest of the day.

Last Day of Work…


which I’m not entirely sure is a good thing, considering why today is my last day of work…oh well. On to better things…lol. Isn’t this painting amazing? Stop by Moxy Hart’s website to check out his other stuff. I’m sure not all of it is safe for work, so you might want to wait until you get home to check it out. 🙂

Let’s see…I’m going to try and get Kellan’s bio and pic ready tonight to post on it’s own tomorrow. That way you don’t miss meeting him and I don’t have to worry about anything when I get home, except sleeping.

Good news…Nick of Time got all the way up to #2 on ARe’s best seller list. It’s at #4 today, but Death or Life has joined it on the list at #9. This is the second time I’ve had two books on the ARe best sellers list. Woo-hoo!

For those of you who haven’t caught up on Understanding the Past, you have until Sunday to read it. After Sunday, I’m pulling the links from the blog. 🙂 That way we have a clean slate for Bastet. (And I haven’t been able to find a way to pronounce Bastet..though if anyone else can, they’re more than welcome to post in the comments.) I assume it would be Bast-et or something like that.

I hope you all have a great day.

Short Week….


There’s something very striking about this picture. 🙂

Well, this week is a short one for me at work. I have Thursday and Friday off…which would be great if it wasn’t because I was having my wisdom teeth taken out…lol. I’m hoping that I won’t be feeling too badly on Friday, so I can get a ton of writing done. We’ll see.

Did some writing over the weekend. That’s always good..lol. Still a little behind in my word count, but I plan on making it up over the week.

I’m not starting the new blog story until next Tuesday, but this week you’ll get to meet the two heroes. I picked some hot guys to use for inspiration. You’ll meet Bastet tomorrow and Kellan on Thursday. Also, I’ll give you a little background on the group Bastet is part of, The Earth Warriors. So don’t forget to stop by tomorrow.

I hope you all have a great day.

Rain, Rain, Go Away…


Okay, so I’m going to build an ark in my driveway to deal with the rain. Ugh!

Nick of Time is #3 at All Romance Ebooks. Woo-hoo! We’re slowly moving up the list. 🙂 And even though they aren’t in the top ten yet, both Death or Life and Bitter Creek’s Redemption are best sellers there as well. Yay!

I’m working diligently on Fighting Dragons. I’m a little behind where I wanted to be by today, but that’s all right. I have the weekend to make up the word count and I still have a few days leeway to get it done.

Going to see Zombieland tonight. I think…at least that was the plan..lol.

Hope you all have a great day and a marvelous weekend.

Wacky Wednesday



Well, I had planned on posting earlier, but got grabbed for a meeting the moment I got to work. So had to wait. But here I am, and there’s nothing wrong. Well, workwise. Weather-wise, it’s cold, dreary, windy, and cold…lol. Yep, I think we’re skipping fall weather and heading right into winter. Ugh!

Hey I posted something over at SEx. Run over and comment if you want. 🙂

I got a sneak peek at the cover for With This Ring and wow, it’s awesome, everyone. As soon as I get the okay, I’ll post it for everyone to check out. I don’t know who the cover artist is, but they did a great job with it.

I’m not sure if I posted the blurb for WTR, so here you go:

The end of the year is the start of a whole new beginning…


A Tabloid Star story.


Josh Bauer and Ryan Kellar sweated through a turbulent start to their relationship. Now that they’ve embarked on a life together, filled with family friends—and each other—Ryan’s suffering sweaty palms again. For an entirely different reason.


It’s not the heat they generate every time they’re alone together. It’s not even the crush of people at Josh’s jam-packed birthday party. It’s the birthday present Ryan’s carrying in his jeans pocket. The one that could make him the happiest man in the world, come New Year’s Eve.


If Josh says “yes”…


Warning: Hot guy on guy sex. A happily married couple and a rocking New Year’s Eve party guaranteed to keep you up all night.

So what do you think? 🙂

Hope you all have a great day.
