The Hazards of Mistletoe Cover Reveal!
Hey everyone! Today I'm excited to share the cover for The Hazards of Mistletoe! This Hazards novella is releasing on November 20th!
One snowy Christmas Eve, one mistletoe kiss, one friendship changed forever.
Don’t underestimate the power of mistletoe. It looks innocent enough, but a single branch has the potential to change your life. One mistletoe kiss led to the most embarrassing night of my life, but thankfully by the next Christmas I ended up exactly where I was supposed to be.

Seduction's Kiss Preface!
Hey everyone!
The Midnight Kiss Collection releases in just a few weeks! Here's the preface to my novella, Seduction's Kiss.
You’re probably not going to believe a word I say. If you’re like everyone else I've told, you’re going to read this and tell me to get help. That’s fine, because the only thing I care about is finding my winged hero. So whether you believe me or not, if you see him, tell him I’m searching for him, and I have no plans to give up. Because when a man can kiss like that—can make you feel alive in every grain of your being—there’s no comparison. The only clue I have to find him is his first name. Owen.
Dire Release!
There's more to The Society than just Pterons...
Dire is now available at the following retailers!
Gage was the first guy I ever wanted. He was my first crush and my first fantasy, but he wasn't my first in any other way because he never saw me as anything more than a friend— at least not until the night that changed everything.
It was all Gage's fault. He insisted we drive through the storm and take the back roads. By the time the storm hit full force we had no chance. One night of snowbound sex changed our relationship forever. The problem was at the same time I caught another guy’s attention. This other guy happened to be the alpha of a pack of shifter wolves. I thought the wolves were the worst of my problems, but I was wrong. When things went from bad to worse I had to make a lifelong sacrifice to save Gage, but what price is too much to save the one you love?

Let It Go
When I was fourteen I thought my life was over. I was ready
to throw in the towel and curl up into a ball.
I’m sure your first thought when reading that statement was that this over dramatic response was because of a boy, or a fight with a friend.
But it was neither. It was because of a
diagnosis and what came with it.
After months of tests and a lot of pain I was handed the
label of Psoriatic Arthritis. Aside from trying some medications and learning
pain management techniques there wasn't much anyone could do about it, and I
knew it was something I’d have for life. At fourteen, I didn't care about the big
picture rest of my life part, I cared about the moment—and all the moments that
came after.
Giving up running and the musical instruments I loved to play
was a hard blow, but nothing compared to losing the ability to write with a pen
or pencil. My greatest passion and release was creative writing, and how was I
ever going to write again? I’m sure I’m dating myself with this post, but in
the late 90s, using a laptop in school wasn't cool, and writing creatively on
something as cold and modern as a computer? Forget it. I was angry. I was in
pain, and I didn't even have my go to outlet of writing to help me through it.
Everywhere I went people told me what I couldn't do anymore,
what I couldn't accomplish. I didn't belong in honors classes, I was going to
struggle doing everyday things, and it was going to be really hard to handle
the physical rigors of caring for young children. These negative words came from
all around me, but the loudest voice of them all was my own. I was practically
screaming “I’m going to be a failure” on the top of my lungs.
I could have listened to the negativity, and for a short
period of time I did. I pulled inside and felt sorry for myself each and every
time an arthritis flare had me sidelined from my normal high school life.
I was lucky though. I had a family that screamed just as
loudly about the things I could do, and who wouldn't let me feel sorry for
myself. And then somehow my own voice changed—and I opened a new document on my
computer.
The first poem I typed wasn't great. It wasn't earth
shattering, and to be honest, I don’t even remember what it was about, but it
was a beginning. In the days and weeks that followed, I kept writing more
poems, and then short stories and plays. I still stared longingly at my pile of
notebooks and journals, but it was with nostalgia and not anger.
I used that same attitude to get through college and law
school. I pushed myself hard, and never let myself feel (too) sorry for myself.
When my hands gave out on me, I even resorted to typing exams with a pencil in
my mouth, because I refused to be a failure. I refused to prove those negative
voices right.
It’s been seventeen years since I was first diagnosed with
arthritis. I’m a mother of two amazing kids, and I’m married to a wonderful
man. I've published close to twenty books—all typed on a computer. It turns out
that using a computer didn't completely shut off my creativity. I credit my
arthritis with making me a stronger person. It’s pushed me to challenge myself
and constantly strive for success. Now
when someone tells me I can’t do something (even when it’s my own inner
critic), I say oh yeah? Watch this. Let go of the self-doubt and negativity.
You never know, jumping over the biggest hurdles might just change you for the
better.
