Hi, I have the first book in a new series due out next Monday. It is called BlackJack Extinction it is the first of seven books. The second book in The Duchess will be sent to be edited next Monday also. I hope to get it back and make the changes for a possible release date of November 30th. I will make a note to send you a reminder when it is available. Thank you for your interest and opportunity to offer you a romantic escape.

I am way to organized and my OCD won't let me use that as an excuse not to write. I have a system that works for all my books, by the time I sit to do actual writing it really is just connecting the fleshed out bullet points. My final step is to check for grammar, punctuation and story flow. I guess that makes me a plotter.

Take the time to network with others in your field and genre of writing. They are a fountain of inspiration and knowledgeable support. Learn your craft but don't lose your style of writing. Always read others books it is an enjoyable way to learn words,grammar,punctuation and format. But most of all be a thick skin good sport and take the reviews even the bad ones as a learning tool. No one is perfect so there is always room to grow.

I have 3 series pulled from my plot bunny collection. The Duchess Perfect series(Contemporary). The second is BlackJack Extinction (Assassins) which will be out in August. And The Visatant (Paranormal genre) which comes out in October. I also have the next book both in The Duchess and Blackjack series due to come out this summer. I guess I am an all or nothing kind of girl.

I consider myself a super plot bunny herder, I love creating visual boards of different things. It could be the name of a town I saw on the news or news paper. It could be a name I heard. It could also be a picture of a person I saw online. A million things can trigger my hyper imagination and because I have a slight case of OCD it forces me to create a plot bunny which can result into a full fledged book.

The Duchess: Perfect Enough is based in Jackman, Maine. I love collecting pictures of places I would love to visit, when I saw the picture of a grand four porch sided lodge by the woods, I just fell in love. It became a source of daydreams for when I was stressed. The characters developed by playing the what if game. So my first book is the story of Tyler & Beanie I hope you love them as much as I loved writing about them.
