Summer News
A lot of exciting things tend to happen in summer, don't they? For me it's a time when I can really delve more into writing, promotion, and research. This summer was no different. First, happy to announce that Heaven Sent will be released in August. NO exact date just yet but we are working on the last round of edits. I've already got a cover design ready so hopefully once the edits are finalized we're a go! That means I have a ''series''. I named it Love and Lush and if you'

What's New
When I finished and published Eternally Wild, I planned on it being a stand alone novel. However, things do change. After a 3 star reviewer commented on a few things that bothered her, and then again finding some inspiration from dreams about Michael and Jon (again), I decided to attempt to write a book from Johnnie Vega's point of view. Honestly, after dating an alcoholic and learning quite a bit about the struggle to overcome addiction, I knew that I did gloss over Johnnie

Anatomy of a Novel - Eternally Wild
People often ask me how I get ideas for stories. Authors are inspired by many things as we write and that was definitely the case for my new novel, Eternally Wild. The novel was inspired by a dream I had about meeting the ghost of Michael Hutchence, and his influence is definitely felt throughout the book. But a lot of other "stories'' and ''experiences'' went into making this great story about the love between a ghost, a woman with a tragic past, and the ghost's best friend

Wow! It's been awhile! Long enough to write a book!
I can't believe it's been this long since I've written a blog post. Where does the time go? Most of it to my day job. And then there have been concerts and cons with my daughter! (I met Jason Momoa and many of the Walking Dead cast) Plus, I've been working really hard on my new novel, "Eternally Wild". This book means so much to me and I want it to be perfect! In my previous blog, I mentioned how the idea for this story came to be. I finished the first draft in March. A mere

Michael Hutchence Leaves his Mark on me.
In 1983, MTV came into my home. I was thrilled! I'd always loved music, but MTV was a new invention, that put faces to the radio and introduced new music much more quickly than our local DJs did. One of the first bands I "saw" was INXS in their video for, "The One Thing". Immediately, my eyes were drawn to their enigmatic lead singer, Michael Hutchence. He slithered sexily all over the screen, eye fucking the TV audience, while the other band members partook in a food orgy wi

#metoo
With this hashtag trending, I noted many women strongly speaking out and letting people know their stories. I too, am among the many who have suffered sexual abuse in the past. I don't remember much about my real father who left when I was two, but I remember many things about my stepfather who ended up adopting me, and none are good. He molded me and shaped me into what he wanted, a child who would trade sexual favors for gifts, money....you name it. If I wanted it, it was m

A Busy Summer
I thought I'd have lots of time to write this summer. But, life happened as it is always prone to do. It started with the lawn mower breaking down on me. Not even a year old and already stopped running after using it what? Maybe three times? I have a huge backyard that is hard on mowers but that seemed a bit ridiculous. Then my phone stopped working. Worst of it is, I still owed money on it. LG4 apparently is crap and has a class action lawsuit getting geared up agains

Adrian and Melody, Book 3 is coming!
Excited to announce that the tentative release date for Adrian and Melody is August 4. Currently, it is available on my publisher's website as a presale if you wish to reserve a copy now. (they're having a great summer book sale!) I have added a page here on the site with the story synopsis. Yes! It's a good one I promise. Fans of the series will be delighted to see many characters come full circle and have a satisfying and heartwarming conclusion to their stories. Others won
