Random

My laptop died and I've been without a computer (other than work) for over a week. Every time I thought of something I needed to look up online I remembered I couldn't and it nearly drove me nuts. I miss my laptop.

Had a customer who really ticked me off on Friday evening just as I was about to leave. First off I saw them drive up and the wife came in to pick up a garage sale kit (signs, stickers, change apron...etc) that we give out with each ad placed. We're limited on supplies so we give 1 kit per ad. She asked for more and I explained that I couldn't give out more because of our limits. She left but a second later her husband came in asking for a kit. I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt because I hadn't seen him get out of the truck so I asked him if he was with the lady that had just left. He says, "What lady?". So, I asked if he was in the brown pick-up. He says, "No. I'm in the red truck." That's when I got ticked off. An employee got out of that truck before the wife came in and I knew he was lying and trying to scam me. Even then I would have been nice and explained to him that we give 1 kit per ad but that I'd give him extra signs. But he looked me in the eye and said, "Just give me the damn kits." I was so shocked I started to go blurry and my mouth hung open for a second before I could say anything. I told him I'd give him extra signs (as he interjected, "Damn right you will") and that was it. OMG! I can't believe people are so mean. And all over a stupid change apron for a garage sale! Grrr....

Yesterday was the anniversary of the first date my husband and I ever went on. We've been together for 6 years now (married for 2). And I believe we'll make it many more. He might get on my nerves sometimes and I'm sure I get on his, but I love him and can't wait to see what the rest of our lives brings.

BANGED UP is NOW available!



Banged Up was released at Liquid Silver Books!









BLURB:





Mace Walker can’t wait to get home.

Being buried deep undercover for the past two years, on the most complex case of his career, has torn him down physically and mentally. Now the FBI agent has come home to recover after having his leg badly injured from a gunshot wound. Arriving home late one night, his relief is short-lived as he’s faced with a stranger pointing a gun to his head, acting like he is the one who doesn’t belong there!

Colby Parks, a biochemist at the local university, had come to town a year earlier to escape an abusive relationship. She vows never to put herself in that situation again.

Then the perfect opportunity comes along: house-sitting for Mace’s sister while making the house she purchased habitable. But she couldn’t anticipate this big snag: the one wearing the tight Levi’s and worn leather jacket, looking like he had just escaped prison.

Being forced to share a house creates sparks between them in more ways than one. However, things take a turn when their pasts catch up to them, threatening to pull them apart forever.

Myla by Moonlight is now available from Samhain Publishing




Magic bites... and its name is Myla.


Created at Prince Taric’s birth, Myla is a spell, an enchantment designed to appear and protect him when he needs it most. She has always been content to do her duty…until one night of forbidden passion leaves her longing to experience life—and love—as a mortal woman. Yet the risk is too great. Even if her blood runs as red as his, she can never give him the one thing he needs: a child.

Taric’s blessing—and his curse—is knowing the kingdom’s future depends on his producing an heir to continue the bloodline. His bond with Myla has always been that of protector and protected. When it suddenly becomes something much more, he unwittingly sentences his people to certain death.


An old enemy is plotting to destroy all he holds dear: his lands, his people, his father, and his lover. And this time, even if they fight tooth and blade, their shared magic may not be enough to save them…

Seraphina—"Sera"—Jones won the vacation of a lifetime: an all-expenses-paid trip to the Pleasure Planet, a place where her every desire will be fulfilled.
