Dear readers, I am pleased to report that A Story For Ireland will be out in the summer of 2020! I have been working diligently to bring this book into the world and I am so happy that it's almost here. I have decided to share the blurb as a preview. Happy Reading! Caprice Antoine was done. She was done with hope, done with love, and done trying to believe her nightmare of a life was worth living. Only the promise she’d made to Robert O'Neil kept her alive… and she would never see him again. Stalked by a lethal assassin known as The Reaper, Caprice is tempted by his midnight eyes and dark offer. Regardless of what is right or wrong, she only knows she has to lead the assassin away from the people she loves. There is only one problem with her plan. Some men are stubborn, foolish, and completely unconcerned with their own safety!

Dear Readers, I want to take this moment to thank all of you for your support and interest in my writing! I wish I could have A Story For Ireland ready for Christmas, but I have decided to take a little more time polishing this manuscript so that it can be at its best! It looks like the final book in The Broken Woman Cycle will be a 2020 title. I am really very excited about this story and I hope you all will be, as well! Thank you again! Happy Reading! 

Hello, dear readers! Thank you for your patience with me as I work my day job, mother a young child, rock this marriage thing, and finish my third book. Progress is underway on A Story For Ireland and The Broken Woman Cycle will be complete... with maaaaaaybe one or two novellas later on. *wink wink* Seriously, there is a delicious character from book three that I might not be done with. I am in the editing stages and am still shooting for book three to be released in December, but we shall see how things go! It would be easier if writing wasn't a side job for me, but I am sure you've heard that saying every writer winces at. "Don't quit your day job." Probably because day jobs have health benefits, retirement, etc. Those things are necessary and yet, because we need a day job to get them, are super counterproductive to productive writing. Unless you just have a super sweet deal with your publisher. Most of us don't, though. Haha. Anyway! Stayed tu...

Dear readers, I have finally finished the rough draft of A Story For Ireland. Book three of The Broken Woman Cycle is on the way to editing!  Whew! Life has been in such a transitional phase for me since The Hills Of Tuscany was published. I didn't think it would take me this long to get book three out, but I have persevered and hope to have it available for sale by December of this year. While the manuscript is going through the editing processes, I may also brush up books one and two. I am thinking about doing another edition with new covers and everything. We shall see! I hope my readers are as satisfied with Robert and Caprice's story as I am. Happy Reading!

Hello, everyone! It has been a while since I posted an update about my writing. So here is a little teaser excerpt from my series on Channillo. If you want to check out the rest, then please follow the  link  here. Happy Reading! ********** With a sudden jerk, Thayne brought his horse around and grabbed the back of her head. Wrapping his fingers around her thick hair, he pulled her face an inch away from his own and held her there. His sudden closeness was a shock to her system, for he had been very careful to keep his distance up until this point. She was bound and helpless again, completely at his mercy. The searing anger in his eyes burned her and the controlled fury in his taught muscles frightened her, but somehow she could only register his nearness and the pounding of her heart.

I am posting to announce more chapter updates on Channillo! I added another viewpoint. Allow me to introduce you to the noble.           ************************** Natalie Stuart watched grimly as the stone encasing closed over her father’s face. She glanced surreptitiously at the unwelcome guest who had arrived just before the burial ceremony began. King Loren stood to her left with a solemn expression, his shoulder-length brown hair held back by the circlet of gold around his head. His immaculate beard hid most of his face from view, but his hazel eyes seemed soft and sad. He had come regaled in splendid gold and deep purple, looking every bit the king of a flourishing country. As she watched him, Nat felt only contempt and wondered who he’d hired to poison her father. She did not doubt for a moment that he was behind the murder. King Loren needed the emperor too much to allow one resistant voice to destroy his hopes of winning the war. With d...

Greetings! I am blogging to announce another chapter update on Channillo. Enjoy the free sample below! ************************************** Thayne’s eyes shone white and a strange pattern appeared on his skin as he purposefully opened his fingers. Eric’s body split apart with that single gesture. The boy screamed only a second before Thayne closed his hand and his nephew fell to the ground whole again. “It was worse for her,” Thayne growled as Eric shook violently and vomited in the dirt. “Be grateful I held you in stasis.”  When The Knight turned toward her, she flinched. Forget the guild. This man was more dangerous than any of them combined. He seemed sad again as he examined her expression. “Go lay down on my cot,” he said softly. “You’ll need to rest before you feel well again.” ************************************** Thank you for reading my sample! If you are interested in more, then please find me here  on Channillo. Happy Reading! ...
