NOTORIOUS Is Almost Here!
đź’žHello my reader friends!
I've been working on this story for a while and I'm head over heels in love with Brick and Nyla. I think you'll love them too and root for their happy ending--after some serious crying trouble... đź’ž
At SQ's House
We have a new baby in the family!
Meet Molly Catherine! My nephew and his wife welcomed a second daughter into their family this week.
My sister is a grandma again and I'm wicked happy for her.
Meanwhile, it feels like I'll be a hundred before either of my two sons get around to having kids. No complaints though. We all know it sometimes takes a while to find that special love for the HEA and I wouldn't have it any other way for them. đź’ž

Exclusive Excerpt #4
Notorious Man on Campus
No one’s supposed to know about me and Brick, about our true history, about Jimmy. Hell, even Brick doesn’t know the damn truth about his brother. But that’s one secret I promised to keep for Jimmy and I will because it’s his secret to tell. Some day. Some f*ing day.
I briefly toy with calling Jimmy, begging him to let it go, but I don’t have the heart. Poor Jimmy’s already suffered enough. Now it’s my turn.
“But what about Brick? Hasn’t he suffered enough?” I ask out loud to no one and wish there was an answer, wish so much that the answer was yes, he’s finished with his suffering and misery and he’s whole now and all yours because you’ve saved him from the pit of lonely despair he’s living in.
Grabbing a Kleenex, I blow my nose and calm myself. There’s something about the here and now of blowing one’s nose loud and long that brings life back into perspective, that cuts through the melodrama of the sky-falling mindset and lands one directly in the day-to-day nitty gritty of life. Where I land is back where I started. The need to save Brick from himself rears up and I take heart because I’ve made progress, haven’t I?
A smile forms on my face because he’s let the genie out of the bottle—or at least halfway out—and he can’t ever take it back no matter how much he pretends tomorrow or the next day because I know he will. He'll pretend that tonight was nothing, meant nothing. But I saw him crack, I saw his feelings, if briefly. I know what’s inside him and more importantly, he knows what’s inside him.
Settling into my bed, under my covers, I can close my eyes now and sleep because I’m suddenly exhausted and drained. And hopeful optimism has returned to me because the lingering scent of sex surrounds me in my bed and I know I’ll dream about him, about us, and about all the things we didn’t do tonight.
