I am so excited for this book coming up in early 2016.
Coming to the end of edits is always a rush.
For me a book starts with frantic enthusiastic writing. I can't get the ideas on the page fast enough, because I write the characters that scream at me.
Paisley Compton was one of those characters that truly knocked my socks off.
I had to treat her right, so she got two men.

Hart Clan Hybrids, Book 3
Finding out she's a byproduct of her maker's plan for world domination is a letdown for Shelly Meyers. Now she must figure out where to pin her loyalties. Tradition tells her to follow her leader, but something tells her tradition is overrated. Is it her conscience? Nah. Not that. Not anymore.
Richard Paulson never planned on turning furry, yet here he is, an Alpha in charge of a Pack. Even with Doc, his beta, at his back, he seems to keep winding up in another frying pan.
Long ago, Trevor "Doc" Paulson gave the woman he loved to someone who could give her the life she deserved. Now, as he and Richard fight to prevent history from repeating, he's struggling not to act on pure attraction...again. He knows he should be Rick's voice of reason, but what happens when the three of them get close makes no sense at all.
Together they must decide to let go of the past to forge a new future...and fast. Before a power-hungry vampire takes it all away.
PRODUCT WARNINGS: This book contains a sexually volatile vampire who is about to grab the world and a couple of werewolves by the balls. Not for the faint of heart, or those who are opposed to sex, blood, bites, multiple partners and multiple orgasms.

I have had a few people tell me lately that I'm really organized.
After I picked myself up off the floor from falling out of my chair laughing, I tell them in no uncertain terms, that I'm not.
I DID, however, find a new planning style that seems to work for me. I've started using a technique developed by Ryder Carroll called "Bullet Journal". If you've seen me chatting about it, it's because I really can't shut up about how life-changing this has been for me.
The technique is using a basic journal and taking time every morning (or night before) and writing down everything you have to do.
Yes. I'm aware this sounds like a basic to-do list. But if you number your pages, use an index, and keep all of your to-do lists, all of your brainstorming sessions, all of your bills that need paid...if you keep it all in one book... Now that was an idea I could get behind.
I am a gal who adores technology. My phone is a shiny new toy, and I sure jumped on the e-reader bandwagon with gusto. BUT...there is something powerful about putting what you have to accomplish in writing.
Taking the time to put things on paper not only helps me remember them (because seriously...if it's not on paper, I won't remember), it also helps me feel a sense of urgency. I have my bullet journal open on the days I'm working from home, and I take it with me whenever I am at my Evil Day Job.
I have to look at those boxes sitting unchecked. Something about those poor empty squares pulls me off the couch and forces me to turn off Netflix. (Even though I desperately want to bingewatch ALL of Daredevil.)
Dumping my story ideas used to happen on whatever spare piece of paper was around. When I was ready to put a brilliant thought on paper, I was always running around trying to remember which notebook it was in.
Now...I flip to the next blank page, make a note in my index, and go! I find this system freeing in its simplicity, and inspiring in its ability to be adapted to exactly what I need at any given moment.
So that's my not-so-secret secret to how I give the illusion to the world that I have a handle on things. The technique is simple and not overwhelming and I am so in love with it, that I had to share. I've kept up with my little notebook for closing in on six months now, and I can't even imagine going back.
What do you do to keep yourself organized?
I'll make sure to keep a list of your suggestions in my bullet journal. :D
Check out what happens when pranks go so wrong, that something amazingly right happens.
BLURB:
Named after the date of her conception, April Prime
was used to hiding away and avoiding the world on April Fools’ Day. Or at the
very least, avoiding her parents who tended to celebrate the holiday very
differently from the rest of the world.
This year would be different. This year she closed
on a home, and was taking control of her life. A few hiccups had her headed to
an office supply store in search of moving supplies. Crashing through a
bathroom door, she stumbled on a bit more than she expected when mister tall,
dark, and indisposed was already using the facilities.
Taylor James was stuck being the brunt of yet
another round of April Fools’ pranks. One of them being a change of the
bathroom door signs. He went to work knowing he’d have to navigate a mine
field. What he didn’t expect was a woman bursting in on him only to send his
head spinning.
Despite the scenery, April is ready to make a
red-faced retreat. That’s when a car crash knocks out the power to everything
inside the store, including the electronic locks.
By the glow of the emergency flood light the two
realize they may be stuck for a long while. April and Taylor could wait out the
inconvenience in silence, or they could capture a moment together, and just
maybe find something special when the lights go out.
Warning:
Sex in the dark may lead to orgasms and head injury.
Those words have more than one meaning when you're talking about erotic romance, don't they?
I got some wine delivered to me by Club W . Because really....wine delivered to your door...is there any better way to celebrate?
The cold popped the cork for me!
Coral-600 is the story of a robotic virgin who realizes she has more than just magnetic charge turning her gears. I'm so happy to have her finally out in the world. I loved the idea of a woman embracing her sexuality with such excitement. I found a fun way to let that excitement out with Coral.
My hope is she makes you smile as much as she did me.
BLURB:
Pleasure is not a malfunction.
The DMA Files, Book 1
Coral-600 is the first and only one of her kind. An artificial intelligence prototype with realistic skin over her metal frame, she was deemed too expensive for mass production and gifted to the royal family.
She cannot legally have a relationship with a human, and it never entered her electronic brain to want more—to break the law. Until she meets Quinn, and her DNA-enhanced skin tingles with a completely new sensation. Desire.
His body damaged beyond repair in the war, Quinn survived—barely—by agreeing to have much of it rebuilt. His royal relatives have taken him in, but it’s tough adjusting to a body that doesn’t come with instructions.
As Coral helps Quinn cope with his new body, the connection between them reaches the melt-down point. But unless she can convince the authorities that humanity runs deeper than flesh and bone, she’ll have her CPU wiped clean—permanently.
Product Warnings

So while I am cuddling under my blankets with a glass of wine and hiding from the below zero temperatures outside, tell me what you think of my robobabe! She's got a little bit of heat to warm you up during the polar vortex.
I am so excited for this book coming up in early 2016.
