Unedited of course...... “ You know, I wouldn't be opposed to being with you here, alone. I was just under the impression that's the last thing you wanted.” “You can't know what I want.” “And why is that?” “Because I'm not really sure myself,” I admit quietly. He reaches out tucks a wayward strain of my hair back behind my ear. The small gesture sends shivers down my spine and my breath catches in my chest—which he notices immediately. “That's not true.” “What do you mean that's not true?” I snap. “You know exactly what you want. You're just too afraid to admit it.” “You don't know anything.” “Perhaps, but I know your heart.” Like the Dawn...  coming SOON

Sorry for being such a slacker blogger! Actually I've kinda been a slacker when it comes to all social media lately. :/ I'm still working on Like the Dawn. It's been a much slower process this time around because not only did both my #1 editor and my #2 editor lose family members recently, I had an abnormal scan last Tuesday (my first annual scan post cancer and it's abnormal--boo!), so I've been a little stressed out about that. I had a biopsy done yesterday and I should hear more by Friday--why do they make us wait so long for results? Anyway, so since Heather and Maya were both unable to start editing right away, I decided to do another read through of my own and I've been adding in some bits and pieces as I go so it's taking me a while to get through it. My goal is to finish my read through by Friday (shooting for earlier) and send it to both of them this weekend. Bad news is: an April release is not likely....good news is: it's almost May and it WIL...

It's time for a Blog Hop! I LOVE these things! I was tagged by PA Warren who just published her first book LIFE AFTER. It's pretty straight forward--just answer the questions and tag two other authors. :) Fun stuff!  What am I working on? Currently I'm working on the final installment of the Lark trilogy, Like the Dawn . I'm almost finished writing my first draft--like 5,000 words away! How does my work differ from others of its genre? Hmmmm.....well, I hope that my work is different because I'M different. :) I write YA Fantasy with a hint of comedy and romance. I also have two college-age romance books out right now (one I co-wrote with the amazing Komal Kant) and even though it's super popular right now, I can't make myself write a graphic sex scene--I blush and get all awkward about it so my NA books are clean with just a hint of steaminess. Why do I write what I do? Because I think I might secretly be a teenager in an *almost* 30-year-old b...

Don't worry! I'm not starting to work on this yet--I'm still finishing up Like the Dawn ! BUT I did have an idea the other day that I had to write down for my next book because it wouldn't let me concentrate on anything else until I did. You see, Lark is named after my youngest daughter. Mia started off as a "filler" name until I found the perfect name and then it ended up being perfect so it stuck. Well, my oldest daughter was very upset that I didn't write HER a book. Sooooooooooo I told her I would some day, but I had no idea when because honestly, I didn't really have any inspiration for another fantasy story until recently. The other day my husband forced me to watch this "documentary" on the Animal Planet about how mermaids are real and he was really getting into it. Like, seriously convinced that mermaids are real and everything so I teased him and said my next book I'd write about mermaids just for him. I was mostly joking--I...

          Time for another teaser! (Seriously can't stop staring at this cover...it's so pretty! I can't believe it's mine! Eden did an amazing job. It's totally my favorite of the three. The colors and the whimsical feel--I just adore it.) Okay enough about my cover....scroll on down for the teaser!                      He smiles as though he's humoring me but I can tell he wants this. He wants to open himself up to me. And the more he talks, the easier it is to picture it—my life with him. He's good and kind and he loves me. I know that he would do anything for me, but I fear he may be right—because as easy as it is to picture being happy with him, I know that it's just as likely to end in heartbreak. Especially now that my heart has been changed and I'm not really sure where he fits any more.         But it is still nice,...

Unedited and subjected to change of course but................here's a little teaser from Like the Dawn! “Of course you aren't required to take a husband—not yet anyway—but everyone knows that males are naturally more competent rulers so it just makes sense.” “What's that supposed—” “And on that note—Princess, shall I escort you to your seat?” Grey steers me away quickly before I do something stupid like punch Blaise in the face. Males are more competent rulers? Is he serious? There is just something about stupid boys that makes me turn violent. Somewhere in the back of my mind I hear Jacoby chuckling. I halt my steps and Grey turns back to see what's wrong. “It's nothing. Just the voices in my head distracting me like normal.” “Mia, you know that's not exactly 'normal',” he says with that crooked smile that I love.
