Sasha's in Love

I had to share these pictures to you. I received my paperback copies of, No Greater Love, the other day. My cat, Sasha, is totally in love with the cover art. Apparently, he has a crush on Eros (watch out Keith...lol) and loves to snuggle up to him! It's so funny and too sweet for words :)

I just turned in final edits for The Sweet One. It will be re-released at the end of the month through Mischief Corner Books. I'm thrilled with the new edits and really like the cover art. (Thank you, Freddy) As soon as I get a release date, I'll definitely let y'all know.

A Hold on His Heart will be re-released in July! Whoop!

My Men of Charlestown series should be re-released by the end of the year. I have several works in process. I am currently writing the next book in the Men of Charlestown series, Deimos' book on my Sons of Aphrodite series, a Christmas Story called All I want for Christmas is You and the next book in the Circle of Friends series. As you can tell, I've been very busy and I'm very excited to get my mojo back and get some new releases out there.

More news coming this week. I hope everyone has a great week ahead!! *HUGS*

Being sick, tons of cooking to do and home for the holiday

I've been fighting the flu for a several days now. I am feeling a little better today, and I hope that I'm on the mend because of the amount of cooking I have to do in a couple of days.
We're going to Little Rock for Thanksgiving. We celebrate it with my mother and stepfather's family. It's always hectic, but in the end we have a good time. We'll be doing the Black Friday shopping early Friday morning and coming home Saturday morning. I'm already tired just thinking about it!
I haven't written any this week. Don't know if I'll get anything done tonight either. I'm still pretty excited about getting it done. I'm over halfway there, so hopefully it'll be done by next week.
I have had some good reviews on both A Realistic Romance and The Sweet One this week! Elisa read and reviewed A Realistic Romance and liked it (Yay) and Lily, Eyre, Ivan and others have read The Sweet One and liked it. I'm very happy about that. The Sweet One really does hold a very special place in my heart and I'm glad it's been liked.
If I don't see anyone before Thanksgiving, I hope everyone has a great one!
Take Care!

The Picture is of My Beloved Niece, Snow White, at the Pumpkin Patch last year. The pumpkin is bigger than she is!

Love is Love

The Sweet One was released on Saturday. I admit that I was very nervous about its release because I both Noah and Micah hold a special place in my heart. Out of all of the books I've written, I wanted this book to have a positive message. At first, I was a little afraid of what some might think of a male Angel who fell in love the man he's been guarding over all of his life. But, then I realised that neither God nor anyone should think twice about it because Love is Love, regardless of gender, age or race. Love is the most precious gift that God has given us, so he rejoices in anyone who accepts this gift and falls in love with another.
I've been thrilled with the positive responses I've got from readers that has read this book. I'm so glad that people have gotten the message and feel happy when they finish the story.
So, no matter what critics or what other people may say against it, I'm happy that most people will like it and embrace the message it gave.

Here is the offical blurb to The Sweet One:

Since the beginning of time Noah has guarded over many souls. He has always followed the rules by never getting emotionally involved with the souls he watches over. He is to supervise their lives and report any misdeeds they have done to Him. At the end of their time on Earth, he is to guide them into the afterlife and to their justly rewards, wherever that place may be. Noah has always excelled at being the best of the best…that was until the Sweet One was born. The minute Micah Thompson was took his first breath; Noah felt an emotional connection with him that he had never felt before.

Throughout Micah’s childhood and early teenaged years, Noah would briefly show himself and comfort Micah whenever Micah was sad or just had a bad day. Noah’s soothing presence always made Micah feel better. One day Noah decided Micah was getting too attached to him, so he never appeared to Micah again, but he always watched over him and loved him from afar.
Micah is now a popular kindergarten teacher. He’s had some boyfriends, but always compares them to his Angel he saw as a child, and so his relationships never work out. One day on his way home, his Angel interferes with Micah’s destiny and it changes both of their lives forever.

The Sweet One

YAY! I'm so excited! Reese Dante cover artist extraordinaire did a phenomenal job on the cover to my upcoming release, The Sweet One.
Silver Publishing asked me early on what I wanted my cover to look like. Reese not only listened to what I wanted, but she knocked it up a notch and made the cover look beyond my expectations.
Thank you, Reese! I love it!! :)

Great News!

I got some very Good News yesterday!
I don't know if y'all remember me talking about my book The Sweet One several months ago. Yesterday I got the happy news that a very upcoming publishing company, Silver Publishing, wants to publish it. YAY! I'm even more pleased that I've already been given the release date of November 13th of this year.
I'm honored to be published with some other authors that are definitely some of my favorites!

I've been revamping my Work in Progress, Yummy Indulgences. I'm also in the mist of writing a Halloween and possibly a Christmas story, but both are going rather slow right now.

I hope y'all are all doing great and have had a fun summer. It's been so miserably hot here, I'm really ready for it to cool off and for it to be fall again.

Snow, snow and more snow

Whew! It's been a busy couple of days. We spent the weekend with my sister and had a great time.

I think I might be the only household in America that didn't watch the Superbowl. Chris went to work and I decided to have a night of listening to my favorite music while I wrote. I have just over 20,000 words written so far. I plan on writing more tonight. It's still my goal to get Merrick and Samuel's story done and submitted this week. I've really enjoyed writing their story and surprisingly, Sidney, who is Samuel's brother has intrigued me. He just might end up with his own story to tell. I hope so, because he really is a fun character.

I still haven't heard any news on the Sweet One and I admit I'm getting anxious. I'll let y'all know one way or the other what happens. If TEB doesn't accept it, I'll eventually have a home for it. I'm anxious for all of you to read it. I enjoyed writing it, and I loved Noah and Micah and I'm hoping you will, too.
It has snowed over seven inches here today. Of course, nothing keeps my husband from going to work. Once again, I smiled and waved goodbye to him from our living room window. There really is something in a man's mentality that says they can conquer anything in a vehicle!

I hope everyone stays warm and has a great week! Talk to y'all soon!

I'm excited to go see my family

Not a whole lot has happened this week. The snow is just beginning to melt away and I'm glad! I'm tired of being cramped up in the house. I'm going to my sister's Friday and I'll be back on Sunday. I'm ready to see my niece and family. I haven't seen them since Christmas, and I'm starting to get a little home sick to see them.

I've been in a romantic mood, so I've been watching romantic movies this week: Notting Hill, Last of the Mohicans, You've got Mail, When Harry met Sally and so on. Every time I put one of these movies in the DVD player, Chris just rolls his eyes. Funny thing is once it starts he becomes as hooked on watching them as I am.

I'm still waiting to see if The Sweet One will have a home. Also, Merrick and Samuel's story is coming along pretty nicely. I'm hoping to have it done sometime next week. I'm ready to get started on the other stories running around in my head!

If I don't see Y'all around, have a great weekend!

If I hear, "Honey, guess what..." one more time I'll...

I'm over halfway done with my story I'm planning to submit to Dreamspinner on Monday. I couldn't work on it yesterday because I had to go out of town, so today I've been trying to get as much done as possible.

One thing I've noticed is that every time I start on something; whether it's writing, reading, cooking or whatever...my husband thinks he needs to interrupt me a hundred times. He's been changing the oil in our vehicles today, and I bet he's come in an interrupted me twenty times in the past hour. The funny thing about it is I bet if I were just sitting here and watching television he would be leaving me alone. Both my sister and my mother say their husbands do that to them too. Ashley even said my niece will be playing off to herself, but when Ashley gets on the phone, that's when Snow White decides she wants her to play with her, or she needs something.

Does that happen with y'all too? Let me be busy and Chris is all over me. Let me be bored to death and he has his own thing to do. Since I've started writing on this blog he has interrupted me 3 times already! Make that 4. He literally just came in here to tell me he was putting air in the car's tire. LMAO! It's getting to the point where it's almost getting comical. What am I going to do with such a loveable pest!!

It's finally warming up here. Yesterday it never got hotter than 14 degrees here. That's unusual for Arkansas. It's nice to be at a balmy 27 degrees now. o_o

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Happy reading!

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

Hey, Y'all!

It is freezing here! We had some snow Sunday night and our road is still iced over from it! Arkansas has crazy weather anyway, but it's been unusual because the temperature hasn't gotten over freezing all week. We're not quite used to such temperatures here. Bring on the sun!

I've been a busy bee lately. It took me a while to get started on my newest book, but once I get in the groove of things, it's gone rather smoothly.

I've got a Monday deadline, so wish me luck to get finished on time! Whew! I'm already tired!

Hope y'all all have a great weekend!
