Friday's The Day

Well...I've come to a decision this past week...now it's a good decision, so no one needs to worry about me doing something crazy.

I have decided that Friday is the main day that I'll be posting on this blog. I'll probably do it more, but Friday is definitely the day you all can expect me.

On this day, I will tell you what I'm working on and when my books are coming out. I will probably through out a passage or two to get some input from you, my readers.

So this week, I'm pushing my next Christmas story, An Elf's Magic. You know the cover that you've been looking at for a month...well...it's that one! LOL!

This is the story of Lacey Sinclair and Cuinn Locklin. He's the the fourth sibling of six. Unfortunately, he's used his magic to do something he shouldn't have and the consequences aren't good. Here's an unedited excerpt:

“Coming through, coming through,” Eggther pushed his way through the dancing couples, stopping to stand next to Cuinn. “Eggther thinks you’ve found a very pretty woman.”

Looking down at the small elf, he smiled. “I think she found me, Eggther. What’s going on?”

“Aingeal and Fearghus want to cut the cake. Eggther needs to let cook know it’s time.” He shuffled off in the general direction of the cake, continuing to weave in and out of the other couples on the dance floor.

“Is he always like that?” Lacey turned her head to watch the little guy rapidly move away.

His attention was pulled back to the woman in his arms. “No, he’s usually worse.”

She laughed softly. “I think I like your home. It’s pretty outstanding here.”

Frowning he watched her for a moment wondering why anyone would like it in this frigid environment. True, Santa had made it a paradise for those who lived here but step one inch out of the loinnir and the winterscape was certainly scary. “Why do you like it here?”

“Why wouldn’t I? I mean you have everything you could ever want. A nice family, a wonderful community, people who care about you. I would say that’s pretty nice.” She looked away and her eyes took on a sad yet dreamy look.

Suddenly, he saw her in a different light. “I suppose it’s nice when you look at it that way. I never really thought about it before. It’s always been just where I grew up.”

She turned back and smiled wryly at him. “When you have it all, you don’t think about it.”

“You’re alone.” It was a statement. He remembered now when he was introduced to her. He remembered the party and how his rich Boston cousin took her around as if she were a project or something. It had made him very angry at the time with them having an argument the next day about it. Looking around the room, he caught a look from his father. And he knew that look.

“Yes and no. I mean I have my grandparents but my parents died when I was twelve. The only way I was ever going to be able to go to college was to get every scholarship possible. Even now I have to work to even make ends meet.” She smiled sadly up at him. “Some people have called me focused.”

“I’m sorry.” He could see the sorrow in her eyes and wished that he could take it away even if it were only for a moment.

“What do you have to be sorry for? I mean, it’s not like any of it was your fault or anything.”

“No but this will be.” He tapped her forehead between her eyes. “Remember me,” he whispered and gently kissed her before her eyes closed.

Hope you like that look into the world of Santa's Elves.

See you next week!

Protectors of the Earth

Well...I did it again...I started to write another series.

But this one is different and has me firmly in its grip. The series is called 'Protectors of the Earth' and the first book, titled 'Avenging Aingeal.' From the moment I put the first line to paper, I just couldn't wait to finish the story.

The trouble is once the story was finished, I realized I had a lot more to tell. Six more in fact. LOL! I even took a plotting class through the group Rose Colored Glasses to make sure I had everything down on paper.

This one though is going for the big boys. Yup, I'm submitting to NYC and I bet you all thought you'd never hear that one. It's been quite a few years since I've submitted there and I think I'm ready.

So wish me luck and look for more posts regarding this wonderful new series.

Starting Over

Wow...it's been forever since I've written in this blog...and I realize the error of my ways!

Blogs are important because it is one of the ways that we authors interface with our readers.

I have some exciting things going on. Notice the redesign of this blog. It took me some time but I think I finally have it licked! I have great colors and a sexy picture. The picture will change with my mood but the overall scheme is really nice.

I've also been submitting to NYC and am hopeful something will pop there soon. Only time will tell and until then, I'll keep on writing!

On the right sidebar are my two newest books. They are part of my Santa's Elves series. A Love for Eggther came out in August and An Elf's Magic is due to come out in December. I love both of these covers and want everyone to see them.

I will try to keep these blogs as up to date as possible. At a minimum I will be posting to it once a week as I now belong to a total of four other blogs. I've listed them in the link area.

Talk to you all soon!

Off on Vacation

Well...I'm off to my fantastic Caribbean cruise...and it's my hope that I get a book out of this. LOL!

I'm going to try and post once while I'm gone. The only bad thing is that we are leaving from Galveston, Texas. It's a great place when it's not raining.

Anyway...you all have a good two weeks...talk to you later.

Fourth of July

Don't you just love the Fourth? Hard to believe that a little over two hundred years ago we were just pushing for our independence as a country.

It's because of that independence that we writers can do what we do. In today's society I write what is called 'racy' books. But if our forefathers hadn't put aside their own wants for the needs of fledgling nation, we wouldn't be here. Sure, they knew the risks but in reality they were counting on the benefits.

Things like taxation, land restrictions, religion and a host of other things. I for one am very grateful that they decided that this nation's agenda somehow coincided with their own.

Tomorrow, I'll get back to the writing thing. Hope you all had a good Fourth.

Blogging

Well...here I am blogging again but in a new place...and it's definitely something that I should be doing to get to know more people. BUT for quite a few people blogging can be addicting! I sure hope not for me as I do need time to write.

For those of you who don't know it, I'm an erotic romance writer. I write whatever story moves me meaning I don't have just one genre. I write in many. I would have to say that my first love would be paranormal, science fiction and futuristics. It's what my old critique group would call 'the weird stuff' and for me the weirder the better.

Over the next few months I will be talking about writing and life. They do go hand in hand much to most writers chagrin. It seems as if you get on track with one, and something pops up in the other that you just can't avord. It's a balancing act and maybe more so with a writer because our mind never stops. It's always creating and looking at scenarios in new and different ways.

More later...
