Happy Monday!


I hope everyone has a great day and even better week ahead. I know it's silly, but I'm beginning to stalk my email like a crazy woman! For the next couple of days I'm brainstorming on the current WIP's I've got started and thinking of some upcoming books to write.

Have a wonderful week:)

The Waiting Begins...


Hi Friends:)

I hope everyone has had a great weekend. I've finished the first book in my Circle of Friends series and have submitted it to a new publisher for me. It feels great to work through the writer's block I've had for months now. I've started the second book in the series and I'm about to start working on a series of books I'm going to self publish..which I am totally stoked about!

At least I'll be keeping busy while I stalk my email. 

Wish me luck:)

Have a great week ahead...

Happy Weekend!


It's been a while since I've blogged anything. In all honesty, I haven't had the energy to write a lot. I know a lot of you know what's been going on at Silver, so there's no reason why I should get into it. I've had several readers ask me if I'm okay and if I'm going to stay with them, so here's my game plan.

At the moment I'm sticking with them. The owner is trying to get things into order again, so I hope that everything will work out. This has not been an easy decision for me to make. Many of my author friends, whom I greatly respect, have left or are in the process of leaving Silver. I totally understand and respect their decision to leave.  It's not an easy choice to make. Silver was once a great publishing house (hopefully it will be again) to be a part of, but with its uncertain future, it's certainly understandable why people leave. I still don't know if I'm doing the right thing by staying. I have the "Damned if I do...Damned if I don't" feeling about it, so who knows if sticking with them is the right thing to do. I guess only time will tell.

In saying this, I don't know when I'll be continuing my Men of Charlestown, Kissed by an Immortal or Sons of Aphrodite series. I hope to do so soon because the characters are driving me crazy, but I'm waiting it out right now. 

Because of the stress of it all, I haven't been able to write like I should. Up until the past few weeks it's been short of a miracle to get any story started at all. I've tried, but I couldn't. Writer's block and and stress from everything took a toll on my creative juices, but thankfully, I've been able to work through it and now I'm almost finished with my book. I don't know where I'm going to submit it yet, but I'm going to branch out to other houses and see where I stand. Wish me luck.

Personally, things have been going pretty good. My niece, Snow White has been excelling in her first year of Kindergarten. My husband and I are doing well and my grandmother has been feeling better lately...so all in all, I can't complain.

Thanks for being patient with me. I'll try and do better at keeping y'all informed of what's going on with me. Have a great weekend!

Happy New Year!


It's been a long year, but a good one. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a fresh start and I'm anxious to see how this year will go.

This year I've had four books published! The books I had published this year was:

No Greater Love
Kissed by Death
Angel's Redemption
Hold on His Heart


Next year my goal is to have at least six books published. I plan to continue to publish through Silver, but I'm also going to branch out to different publishers this next year too. I'm also flirting with self-publishing something later on in the year.

I plan on finishing my Men of Charlestown series. Daniel's book will be the last story in the series. I'm also continuing my Kissed by an Immortal series and writing a sequel to Got Mistletoe? There are also two stand-alone books I've almost completed that I'm planning on publishing.

One of my main goals I have this next year is to make a writing schedule and really keep to it.

I also plan on attending GRL next year so my goal is to really work hard to achieve this.

My favorite books I've read this year are:

Ethan, who loved Carter by Ryan Loveless
The Statue by Zathyn Priest
Dammit by Michele L. Montgomery
Brute by Kim Fielding
How to Raise an Honest Rabbit by Amy Lane
The Party Boy's Guide to Dating a Geek by Piper Vaughn and Xara X. Xanakas
The Last Concubine by Catt Ford
Vassily the Beautiful by Angel Martinez
What Binds Us by Larry Benjamin
The Sound of Your Voice by David Sullivan

Music I listened to the most this year:

I Wanna Be With You by the Fun Factory (Snow White's Favorite)
Creep by Radiohead
She Fucking Hates Me by Puddle of Mud
Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield
Just like a Pill by Pink
When I'm With You by Sheriff
More than Words by Extreme
Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard
One More Cry by Bryan McKnight
Born this Way by Lady Gaga
I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett
Rollercoaster by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Here without you by Three Doors Down
Blurry by Puddle of Mud
My Immortal by Evanescence


I plan on this next year to be the most productive and the best year I've had in a long time. I wish the same for all of you and hope you have a very Happy New Year.
