Want to win an early eBook copy of All For You?




The Nephilim Book 1
Genre: Paranormal Romance
ISBN: 978-14268-9484-8
Release Date: December 24, 2012

Someone—or something—is stalking Abby Marcheson. Luckily, she has her brother’s hunky friend Seth to keep her safe. Abby falls easily into her protected life, with Seth constantly by her side, and when he asks her out on a date, she’s eager to accept.

But Seth is much more than he seems. A Nephilim, a son of Angels with wings of his own, Seth is bound to spend his life hunting the Shemyaza, evil descendants of Angels. He’s kept his wings hidden from Abby in order not to frighten her, but as her stalker becomes bolder, Seth begins to suspect that a Shem has Abby in its sights…

As their flirtation escalates into full-blown passion, Seth is torn. Should he reveal his true nature to the beautiful, trusting Abby? Will she accept him, wings and all, or will Abby flee her guardian angel and fall prey to the sinister force that wishes her harm?

And The Free Read Is...

You have spoken. It looks like this year's free read will be...



It's going to be the story of how Bunny's parents got together. I plan on starting this before the end of the week!

Looooong Week...

And this next one is going to be longer.

Hello, holidays! Good-bye, word count!

I saw him in the mall parking lot. He took my spot. 
It looks like, barring a turkey induced coma, I should have the rough draft of Mr. Red Riding Hoode done and to my betas by next Monday at the latest. And tomorrow I plan on sending Morgan's Fate to my editor.

Speaking of tomorrow, I have a follow-up with my rheumatologist where I find out if I get to go on Enbrel (or a similar drug like Humera) to slow my AS down.

I hate needles... but I hate pain more.
 So. Yeah. Busy week coming up, busier month in December as I do some re-writes on a story I wrote a long time ago that I decided would make the perfect second installment of The Nephilim. Right now it's called The Fire Within, but consider that the working title. It may change over time.

And for everyone who wants to know, I'll be starting the next Halle Shifters novel, Stripped Bear, probably mid-January.

P.S. It's looking like the Shifters will be making a holiday appearance, as that's the series you've voted the most for a free holiday read. You have a few more days if you want to add a vote for a different series or if you want to shout out, HAYL YES HALLE! I'll have whichever story you choose up by mid-December.

Tweaking and Writing

I've been fiddling with my website again.

I know, I know, but they don't have any kind of program for people addicted to fiddling with things that are perfectly fine to begin with.

Right?

They do?

Oh. Well, I told you I wasn't done fiddling with it when I decided to change the whole look of my site.

Like this, only less tasty.

Anyway, I decided to fix up the eBooks page, the Print Book page and the Works in Progress page so they'd be a little easier to follow. I think they flow a lot better now.

On the writing front, I've sent Morgan's Fate off to my beta readers, and I've started work on Mr. Red Riding Hoode. The cackling has begun. I actually had to take my fingers off the keyboard so I could laugh.


Yeah. It's gonna be one of those books.

PLEASE NOTE: Mr. Red Riding Hoode is a novella. That means it's gonna be short. Like around 70 - 90 pages short. It's the second of three Poconos Pack novellas that may or may not lead into the New York Coyotes. I haven't decided yet.
