Well it’s been a busy few days around these parts. Between singing at Hawaiian parties which got shut down by the police…AGAIN….having company come from Montreal and getting ready for Orlando…oy….I need some time alone to just chill!

BUT, I’m so pumped to be heading out to visit all my author friends, agents, editors….weeeeeeeeeeee! It’s a lot of work though….like, HELLO…there is hair and makeup, shopping for shoes and clothes…pedicures….it’s exhausting! But so worth it.

So, for anyone interested here is my schedule for Orlando:

Wednesday I am participating in the Literacy signing which is open to the public. Please come and say hello. I’ve already got nightmares of little ole me sitting by myself with a stack of books that no one wants!

I’m also participating in a couple of workshops on Thursday. One is with my fellow Bradford Bunchers including Elisabeth Nauthon, Ann Aguirre and Beth Kery. The other is 15mins later with a bunch of Harpercollins paranormal authors including Kelley Armstrong, Jeaniene Frost and Terrey Garey.

Thursday night is also the big karaoke sing off at the Japanese resto if you care to swing by!

Friday I am participating in the Avon book signing in the morning!

In between will be a host of social events and hanging with my crit partners! So that’s it…I will try to post pictures and maybe get a blog up or two while away, but can’t promise!

so ciao for now!

Hey Everyone!

Hey all, just wanted to share a small snipped from Declan’s book. It’s coming along and I’m very pleased because I love him! Seriously if I could I’d bring him to life, for reals!

Slowly her gaze rose until once more she stared out into the darkness beyond. The moon was incognito, fog was a constant, and everything glistened with a wet sheen.

She felt his hands upon her shoulders; let him turn her body until she faced him fully. Ana stared up into his dark eyes and it felt like everything inside of her was falling away. She couldn’t describe it any other way.

It’s Sunday and here are the reasons that I like True Blood.

1. My friends Shelli and Tracey come over to my house to watch it with me.

2. No kids are allowed.

3. Tracey brings a large bottle of red wine.

4. No kids are allowed.

5. Maybe the hubby is allowed. depends on how much wine has been consumed and on the PMS radar.

This is the newest cover I get to show off! BLACK DESTINY the second story in my time travel series for Samhain! I love it!

What do you all think?

Okay so I’m working on my new book. It’s the fourth for Avon and though it ties up some character arcs from the first three jaguar warrior books, it’s definitely heading in a different direction. It’s exciting…writing a new story arc and creating a different world for the continuation of this series.

But for now I get to play with Declan. He’s always been one of my favorite characters. He’s a smart ass with a heart of gold. And he’s loves a woman who doesn’t return his feelings. Or does she? LOL, you’ll have to stay tuned as to the fate of Declan and whomever woman he ends up with!

Here are a few of my fave lines so far:

Nico glanced his way and Declan winced at the fury that lay in his eyes. Shit here we go. With his newly shorn Mohawk the jaguar looked like a deranged serial killer. “One word,” the warrior hissed, “purgatory.”
Declan clenched his hands into fists, at the ready, just in case. He was never going to live down the Church of the Holy fiasco. “Look the whole purgatory thing was a mistake but can we please move on? How the hell was I supposed to know the ladies were pure? That they’d been chosen to serve?”
Nico was disgusted. “They were living in a fucking convent. That might have been your first clue.”

***********************************************

“Did you want more?” His voice was like silk and she could see the smirk that hugged the corner of his mouth. What the hell was wrong with her?
“No!” She protested much too quickly and as his smile deepened Ana fought the urge to slam her fist up the side of his head.
“The next time I put my mouth on your body I intend to take my time and indulge.”
Ana jumped off the counter. “There won’t be a next time. You’re not my type, remember?” Liar…everything about him is your type.
Declan was nearly out the door. “Yeah, and your eyes are not tattooed to my ass right now.”

So there you have it….oh and as an added bonus here are my visual inspiration!

Declan:

Ana:

So, what do you think? Do they look like the characters you pictured?

Woot! Today is the birthday of my country….Here in Canuk land we’re celebrating 143 years of independence. Sheesh, about half the age of the lovely Ana Delacrux. She is the vampire heroine of the current book I’m working on.

So on this monumental day I’m kicking back…relaxing and writing! Yes I’ve got deadlines looming and edits on two different projects-Book 2 in my upcoming Samhain Release, Black Destiny and His Darkest Salvation the third book in my Jaguar Warrior series.

But I thought I’d take a bit of time and leave you all with some cool Canadian conent:

Yessirreee our boys are yummy

They rock hard

they play hard.

They wear their Canuk flag proudly:

Happy Canada Day everyone! Be safe and enjoy!

If you’re so inclined I’m at the Avon Romance Blog today talking Canada as well!

In other news…I’m well into the fourth book, Declan O’Hara’s book and am loving it. He was one character that I knew had to have his own story and he’s taking things to a new level and a new direction I hope all my readers will enjoy!

Here is one of my fave little snippets….

Nico glanced his way and Declan winced at the cold fury that lay in his eyes. Shit here we go. With his newly shorn Mohawk the dude looked like a deranged serial killer. “One word,” the warrior hissed, “purgatory.”
Declan clenched his hands into fists, at the ready, just in case. He was never going to live down the Church of the Holy fiasco. “Look the whole purgatory thing was a mistake but can we please move on? How the hell was I supposed to know the ladies were pure? That they’d been chosen to serve?”
Nico eyes narrowed. “They were living in a fucking convent. That might have been your first clue.”

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love these two together!

I also should have some more cover love to share. Black Destiny, the second in my Black Opal series for Samahin releases in August and I should be able to post the cover very soon.

so that’s what’s rocking my world right now…….what’s rocking yours?

okay, got this idea from Jeaniene Frost…I’ve yet to get permission to post my cover, but here is a little teaser!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

that is all
