Six Sentence Sunday 7/10

Happy Sunday everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

I thought i'd share another snippet of my upcoming novella Decadent Dreams, which will be released in a couple of weeks.

In this scene, my female main character Beth, has finally met her good friend Yuri, who came via her invite for the weekend.

She's more than thrilled to see him. Read her reaction.

Enjoy!!!


When she walked into the bathroom, she inhaled the faint aroma of sandalwood that reminded her of Yuri only moments before; Beth began to slowly peel off her long sweater, boots and pants. With only her panties, socks and tank top on, she walked over the mirror and attempted to smooth down her red unruly locks.
She had hoped she hadn’t said too much too soon. For her to give herself to someone this quick was not her speed. Nor was she used to being wooed. If she had held on to him for another minute, she was convinced the two of them would be in bed.

Been M.I.A.

Hi all, I hope everyone's been enjoying their summer so far. I can't believe I haven't written a blog since May. Time never stands still.

The reason why I've been gone for so long is because I've been working on a bunch of things.


First off Decadent Dreams, the 1st of the 'A Foreign Affair' series, will be released by Lazy Day Publishing on July 27th.
I'll show you the cover in a couple of days but I saw the proof today and will tell all of you that it is freakin' FANTASTIC !!

I'll be doing a Virtual Book Tour to promote the book through KLB Virtual Events which will include a chance to chat with me and to win some awesome swag so stay tuned.

The tour will begin in early Aug and run through Sept.

Also, I'm in the process of writing a paranormal erotica story for Lazy Day to be included in their 1st Print Anthology called INDULDGENCE. Indulgence which will be released in Oct. And i'll be sharing a bunch of news on this in the coming weeks.
Along with myself, authors like Liz Borino, JM Kelley, Ava Riley, Alta Hensley and George Pappas are involved as well so be ready to fan your faces.

In the coming days, I'll give you a track listing of songs I was listening to while writing Decadent Dreams and also Mail Order Groom, which is the 2nd book in the 'A Foreign Affair' series which i want to finish by October along with By Moonlight.

In the meantime, what songs do you listen to while you write?

Liz Borino Interview-What Money Can't Buy

One of the best things to come out of working with Lazy Day Publishing is not only working with Staci Helling and Mark McConnell, but becoming friends with a lot of co-authors. Especially Liz Borino.

Liz's latest release called 'What Money Can't Buy,' is the sequel of her debut novel, Expectations. The books tells the tale of twin brothers Matt and Chris and their various life's journeys.

Here is Liz!



1.For the people that haven’t read your first book “Expectations,” tell us about it?

Expectations depicts the struggle between what we desire for ourselves and our familial obligations. The struggle is personified by Chris and Matt Taylor, identical twins, who are trying to win their overbearing father’s approval and acquire their trust funds. Love, money, and desire collide as Matt and Chris decide what’s really important to them.

2.Does “Money Can’t Buy” its sequel take place immediately after Expectations end?

It begins five months later.

3.How is it different from the 1st book?

What Money Can’t Buy is darker than Expectations. Carley is more hormonal (read: crazy). Robert is definitely less of a threat.

4.I love twins. Especially these two. How did you decide to write about twins?

You have no idea how happy it makes me to know you love my boys as much as I do. No, that’s not possible. I love writing about brothers the relationships fascinate me. Add identical twins to that? It’s so much fun. Their connection plays a large part in the books. They feel for each other with an empathy those of us without such a connection cannot understand.

5.Do you base your characters on people you know? i.e. Friends or family?

I can’t point to a character and assign a specific familiar influence. My characters are all a part of me, as I am of them. And yes, that includes the influences in my life, friends and family.

6.Explain your writing process. Do you write everyday, write in sections? Do you work on one project at a time?

One project at a time! I write when I’m most inspired. I try to make it every day and now that I’m working on the third book in the series, I’ll have to make it more regular.

7.Do you listen to music? If so what kinds?

Are there people who don’t listen to music? How silent their world must be. Yes, I love music. I’m going to be honest and say I listen to a lot of rock and pop, with some Broadway thrown in there.

8.What projects are you working on now?
As yet untitled book three in the Taylor Twins Series.

9.How has it been working with Lazy Day Publishing?

Oh, Lazy Day is incredible. They’re supportive and passionate about their authors. And that’s just the publishers themselves. When I got signed on Lazy Day, I was welcomed into a family of authors.


10.Any advice to any aspiring authors?

I used to say no because there’s so much advice floating around as it is. But after a recent editing experience, here’s my two cents. Learn to trust yourself, your story, and your characters. And defend them if need be. That doesn’t mean don’t listen to your editors, (as an editor, I beseech you to listen) but if after careful consideration you find their suggestions do not fit your idea for the story, you should calmly and logically explain why. Ultimately, it’s your name on the cover of the book, not your editor’s.

Thanks Liz. All the best and continued success with your books. I can't wait to read them.

For anyone who is interested in purchasing either Expectations or What Money Can't Buy. They are available at amazon.com, b&n.com and allromance.com

Six Sentence Sunday 5/15 Decadent Dreams

Being that i wrapped up my rewrites for Decadent Dreams, I wanted to give you all another sneak peek. This novella will be released in July...And this is the 1st book of the mail order groom series....

Here's Beth....


Enjoy!!!

After work one evening, Beth scanned the internet. She came upon an online dating site called ‘A Foreign Affair.’ Unlike other dating sites, ‘A Foreign Affair,’ encouraged people who loved different cultures to date or one day get married. With any dating site, there were some people at the website that dated, others who became friends and some who eventually married. In fact, ‘A Foreign Affair’ specialized in mail order spouses. Especially, if you and your prospective spouse wanted to go through certain legal channels and knew who to talk to at the website.

Six Sentence Sunday 5/8-Mother's Day Edition

Wanted to give a shout out to not only my wonderful mom, Effie, but to the rest of the mom's today. Enjoy! Enjoy!!!

So happy that everyone is enjoying these little snippets...Here is more from Mail Order Groom.
Everyone, enjoy the rest of your weekend.



Jessica rolled her eyes at the thought of her boyfriend. She blamed him in part for the early morning craziness that ensued.

“Yeah, he came over last night for dinner and with those baby blues and blonde hair, I couldn’t say no to him staying the night.”

Kelly replied. “It’s the dimples.”

Finishing up the last drops of coffee Jessica asked “The Dimples?”

“And the tight ass. Your eyes get that glint of hunger in them.”

Six Sentence Sunday 5/1

Happy Sunday everyone. Because you asked for it....here is more of Mail Order Groom.
Jessie's still having a day... Enjoy the rest of your weekend.



“First, I wake up late thanks in part to my dear, sweet, boyfriend who decided that he wanted to stay overnight. Usually when he does that, I tend to forget to set the alarm clock. Then, after jolting out of bed after 8, I jump into the shower only to find out that my pipes are frozen solid.”

The tow truck driver stared vacantly at her for several seconds before turning his concentration back onto the road. For his own sanity, he realized that saying nothing would be better than saying something. One wrong word from this one would only make her rant and simmering wrath worse than he wanted to get into at such an early hour.
