Where has the time gone?

Can you believe half the month is gone already? I’ve been behind on a number of things, but I have an ambitious goal for next year. To that end, look out for a pre-order in the next few weeks. It’s a small-town rock star romantic comedy that I know will tickle your funny bone. I haven’t started writing yet, but there are a few characters that won’t stop making me giggle.

If you love a bad boy rocker, tell me, which bandmate you prefer. The lead singer and guitarist, rhythm guitarist, drummer or bassist? 

What’s Next?

I just finished the first draft of Valentino DeLuca.

Yeah, me!

You were supposed to get a short book, but Valentino, Sloane, and Tácito were like, “Ma’am, you cannot shortchange me. Oh, and we want more sex!” Once this throuple decided to make things happen, they jumped in with both feet.

I really enjoyed their dynamic. So much, in fact, I’m going to give you a sneak peek at an unedited excerpt.

Valentino’s aggrieved sigh pulls my attention, which is never too far from him to begin with. “Since I’ve calmed down”—

 “You don’t look calm to me.”

 “—I’ve come up with some ground rules you will abide by during your recovery.”

 “Is that your PR spin for imprisonment?”

 “Sloane…”

 “Whatever. Since you’re in charge of when I can leave and you calmed down, how long will I have to stay here?”

 If flames could shoot out of a person, I’d be burnt to a crisp from the ones shooting out of his nose and eyes. The fast rise and fall of Valentino’s chest tells me he is close to an edge I’ve never seen before. A healthy dose of self-preservation and fascination fill me.

 I’m not afraid of him in the, “he’s going to kill or hurt me” sense. I fear he’ll punish me with his presence because a girl can only hold herself back for so long without relief. But wouldn’t it be glorious to see his shocked face as I launch myself at him, rip his clothes off, and take him inside me? Would he sit and take it, or would we have a battle of wills to see who wins?

 All of a sudden, a calm enshrouds Valentino and a fierce light enters his blue eyes. “What if I said, I’d keep you here forever?” 

Don’t forget to join me on Sunday in the Facebook Group Savage Romance Collections where I reveal my Valentino's cover.

My Media Addiction

TV I'm watching: Riches. Can you say family drama? Now, I’m not one to yell at the screen, so when I tell you the matriarch in this family had me doing worse, you know I have to keep watching. I can’t count the number of times I wanted to jump through my television and slap some sense into her. If you like to involve yourself in virtual fights with characters, give this show a watch.

Movies I've watched: Bullet Train. One of my all-time crushes, Brad Pitt is in this. He’s had a stranglehold on me for the longest. Although he didn’t gift me with his manly chest in this movie, I got my laughs and I got cameos from other actors I enjoy, Channing Tatum, Ryan Reynolds, and Sandra Bullock. Oh, there was a lot of action and unexpected badassery happening in the whole film.
