Several Sentence Sunday!

Hello! Since www.sixsunday.com is no longer in operation, I've been debating whether to keep it up on my own. After seeing several other authors continue on their own, I decided to follow suit. So, here is my Several Sentence Sunday excerpt!

This is a snippet from the first chapter of my upcoming short story contemporary romance, Carry Me Home. I'm in the process of working on edits for it now, so I don't have a release date yet. I don't even have a cover yet! But, I figured I'd give you a taste of what will soon be coming your way.

If you read my first Honor Guard book, Her Highland Champion, you'll recognize the hero and heroine of this new story. They were secondary characters in that 1st book.

And now, here are your several sentences.....

Jamie stared at the lass’s fine arse strutting away from him. Her hair had been cut, straightened and the summer dress with the flowery print accentuated all the curves he’d fallen for so many years ago, the curves he knew so intimately. And those heels, for the love of St. Bridget, Mary hadn’t worn high heels like that since she left school. They’d brought her closer to his height, yet she still only reached his shoulders.

She’d left Glenhalish in January a cold, distant housewife and come back this alluring woman. For a moment, panic set inside his gut. He’d intended to convince her to come home so they could face their grief and move on together, but seeing how much happier, sexier and sophisticated she was, perhaps Edinburgh was good for her, better than he could be.

But he wanted her back, wanted to get through this rough patch they’d strayed onto after the lad’s death, and return to the partnership they’d shared since primary school. They had too many years left. She couldn’t leave him. He wouldn’t survive without her.

The lass may have plans to leave him forever, but Jamie MacDougall wouldn’t give her up without a fight.

Well? What do you think?

News On The PRINT Book!

As I'm working on edits for Carry Me Home, a short story romance set in the Highlands of Scotland, I've been in communication with the publisher concerning my print book, Through the Eyes of Darkness! I've seen the front and back cover of it, LOVE it, and can't wait until I can show you! (I can't because I'm having trouble uploading it here.) Also, the print version of my 3 Honor Guard novellas may be available as early as a couple of weeks!!!! I'll keep you updated!

Day job is good. It's so nice having a steady paycheck, the same place to go every morning and people who recognize you. I got my hair cut yesterday and so many people stopped me today and commented on it. For some reason it made me feel good that people noticed and that they've known me long enough to notice.

Actual writing time has been non-existent. Ugh! I really need to get this 2nd short story finished so I can submit it. Why? Because I really want to get back to a longer story with violence and suspense. After seeing Zero Dark Thirty at the weekend, I'm craving a suspensy, thriller-type of story with a minor romance. Yep, I'm in the mood to kill people....

Logo Unveiling!!!!

It's Here, It's Time, It's FANTABULOUS!!!

My fictional bodyguard company, the International Protective Network (or IPN), has an interesting history. To read more about it, go here. I guarantee you'll see exactly why this logo is PERFECT for the company!

 

In each of my Decadent Publishing Honor Guard books, one of the main characters is an employee of this company, the IPN. The stories I plan to submit this year (and in the future), will also have one employee. Now I have this fabulous logo to use for promoting ALL of my Honor Guard stories. 

 

A HUGE thank you to Cheryl Rae, the wonderful artist who worked with me over a couple of months to put this design together. I love it a bit more each time I look at it.

 

Well? What do YOU think?   

In Just A Few More Hours.....

I'll be unveiling my fictional company logo! I'm SOOOOOOO excited to share the one I chose with you! I hope you love it as much as I do. I'll be using it for all my promotion for my Decadent Publishing Honor Guard romantic suspense stories.

Tune in tomorrow for a peek!

You Know You're A Suspense Writer When....

You know you're a suspense writer when you're sitting on a bridge in traffic and you think about undoing your seatbelt and opening the window in hopes that if someone blew up the bridge you'd still be able to get out of your car and be able to swim to safety.

Wow! It's Been THAT Long????

So sorry I've been away that long! In my own defense, I've been sick since last Friday and just getting used to my not-new-anymore new day job. Tomorrow is my first payday! YAY!!!!

Let's see....what do I have to tell you?

I received my edits for Carry Me Home, my short romance story starring Jamie and Mary MacDougall from Her Highland Champion. I don't have a cover or a release date yet, but I'll be sure to share them with you when I get them.

I lost 7lbs in the month of January. I may have lost a couple more after being sick, but I'm not getting on the scale yet.

I've been interviewed by the fantabulous Zee Monodee. If you have some time, check it out here: http://zeemonodee.blogspot.com/search and leave me a comment so I know you came by!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOO behind on revising my 2nd short story. I wanted to submit it to Decadent Publishing tomorrow, but it's nowhere near ready. I blame the 5 days of sickness. Okay, it's also because I just wasn't working. BUT now I've messed up my whole 2013 writing schedule!

No release date yet for my PRINT book. You know I'll let you know as soon as I hear!

I'm having a logo created for my fictional company, The International Protective Network. (To find out more about the IPN, click here.) I'm so excited I finally found a logo I love! Pretty soon I'll be sharing it with you.

I can't decide which country to make as the setting for my next Honor Guard book. I've got a story idea for one in Mexico, Thailand, and 2 more in the UK. I'm thinking I should venture out of Great Britain for a few books. What do you think?

Okay, back to work with me! I'll be seeing you again soon!
