WELCOME
Happy New Year! It’s 2007 and we get to start all over. Okay, not really, but I’m a sucker for new beginnings, so I say we go for it. Instead of resolutions, I’m adopting an idea from one of my friends. She wants to try to do at least two new things each year. Now I just have to figure out what those two new things will be and I’m set.
Oh no, I lied. I am setting a resolution this year. I want to try to write at least 5 days each week. It can sometimes be hard, with a full time job keeping me busy during the day, but I really want to get back to a schedule. So wish me luck on my resolution. LOL.

The Myth of Moonlight
ISBN #9781419907029
Kimberly Brenin has been plagued by nightmares. Dreams filled with her being chased by someone or something—the petrifying face of a Werewolf. Most would chalk up the image to that of a scary story, but Kimberly knows the truth. Werewolves are real. She knows because she is one.
Being orphaned at an early age has left Kimberly woefully naïve when it comes to Were rules and no one knows that better than Nico Cassamonti, the Alpha who governs the territory where she’s recently moved.
Tired of waiting for Kimberly to approach him, Nico decides to confront the young werewolf. As Benandanti of his pack, Nico is furious that she would dare come to his land. Every Were worth their pelt knows it is against Lycan Law for any Werewolf to come into another’s territory without first gaining permission or making an offering and Kimberly had done neither.
The feisty beauty is a handful and much to Nico’s amazement completely unknowledgeable about the world they live in. Even more astonishing, Kimberly has no idea that she is coming into her heat… |

Book One of the Wedding Dress Series
Traveling west from Boston is the adventure of a lifetime for mail order bride, Matilda Cummings — until she learns her soon-to-be husband, Dawson Chandler, had no use for a wife.
Switching places with her twin sister to become a mail order bride seemed like the thing to do, until feisty Matilda Cummings reaches the wilds of Dodge City and finds out her soon-to-be husband hadn’t seen fit to meet her train, sending his brother instead.
Dawson Chandler wants more than anything to strangle his younger brother when he learns he’s unwittingly signed a binding marriage contract. He’s got no use for a wife, especially the tiny, prissy looking woman whose picture haunts him. A lady, polished and shined, has no business living on the Rocking C Ranch, nor with a man like himself.
Afraid of hurting a delicate woman with his rough and tumble ways, Dawson never plans to marry. After all, why should he shackle himself to a lady when he prefers the experience of a seasoned whore in the bedroom? Much to his dismay, he finds his little lady is nothing like he’d imagines. Soon, Dawson and Matilda find themselves struggling through not only their physical but emotional relationships in search of love. Will they find it?
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language and anal sex.
Something Borrowed, Something Blue by Lena Matthews
Book Two of the Wedding Dress Series
Wedding consultant Azure Kerr has seen the best of what love has to offer…professionally. Personally, she’s been too busy to find a love of her own. That all changes the day sexy stranger Gavin Conner comes knocking at her door.
But love, for Gavin, is a matter of once burnt, twice shy. When Azure finds a storied plum-colored wedding gown-and decides she wants to wear it-can Gavin overcome his fears and persuade her to wear it for him?
A Sixpence In Her Shoe by Liz Andrews
Book Three of the Wedding Dress Series
Can Melanie Parsons trust Brady Torres with her most trusted possession-her heart?
Melanie Parsons is a curator at the Smithsonian, specializing in nineteenth and twentieth century artifacts. A rash of burglaries causes Brady Torres, a member of United Americas Security, to be called in to investigate.
Melanie comes from a Traditionalist family, a fundamental group of individuals who want to return to the ideals of an earlier time. Although she doesn’t believe in those ideals, especially when it comes to marriage, she has two little secrets. She loves for a man to control her in the bedroom and the particular man she is longing to take that control is none other than Agent Brady Torres.
The UAS believes Traditionalists are behind the burglaries, but Brady is not sold on the idea and proposes they use a wedding dress from the 1800s as bait to capture the thieves. The dress, from Melanie’s own family, is the one thing that keeps Brady believing he might have a chance with Melanie. He figures she wouldn’t keep the dress around if she didn’t secretly harbor a desire to find true love and marry for a lifetime.
If Brady loses the dress to the thieves will he also lose his chance with Melanie? |

WORKS IN PROGRESS
I am working on a summer quickie and I have until January 31st to submit a story for consideration, so keep your fingers crossed that I a) actually finish the story in time and b) they accept it. As soon as I get this one done I’ll get back to my other stories.

RECOMMENDED READS
I have a new print book to recommend this month. I like these stories a lot and although this is only the second one in the series, I think she has done them well.

An Excerpt From: MYTH OF MOONLIGHT

There was something wild out there, dark and overwhelming, like the black starless night. The rapid pounding of Kimberly’s heart obscured the sounds of crickets chirping and a night owl’s hooting. Eyes wide, she turned and looked around. The surroundings were the same as before.
Deep within a forest she had only visited in her dreams, she was surrounded by an overwhelming sense of foreboding that made her hesitant to take another step. Whatever was out there was waiting for her. Stepping back slowly, she nervously jumped at the loud snap of a twig breaking under her bare feet. Immediately the wild sounds surrounding her came to a halt.
Easing her foot back quietly, Kimberly tried to make her way out of the darkness of the forest. The rustling of the bushes caused Kimberly to hold her breath in nervous desperation. He was back, just as she knew he’d be, but worst of all, he was back for her.
Afraid for her safety, she turned and began running through the dense forest. Uncaring about the sharp stabs to her cold bare feet, Kimberly ran as if her life depended on it. Trying to dodge as many objects in her way as possible, she kept fluid and low to the ground. It was impossible to avoid every obstacle and her eyes began to tear as the branches lashed at her face. Kimberly raised her hands to try and protect herself but she didn’t slow down because she knew he was gaining on her.
Suddenly Kimberly tripped over a protruding tree trunk, falling to her hands and knees. The underbrush dug into her and she lay stunned for a moment. Realizing she was wasting precious time, she scrambled up. Disoriented from the fall, Kimberly looked around wildly, trying to gather her bearings. From her right, Kimberly heard the crackling of leaves and immediately took off in the opposite direction.
Time seemed to slow as she continued to run. Her pursuer was relentless, never giving her time to stop and catch her breath. The forest seemed never-ending, as great an adversary as the one pursuing her. Kimberly began to grow tired and realized it was only a matter of time until he caught her. She couldn’t think—she didn’t know what to do. Tripping and falling a second time she lay on the ground, breathing harshly from her exertion. Abruptly, Kimberly realized she could hear breathing behind her as well. He’d found her. Turning, she gazed into glowing eyes and screamed.
