I look to you for comfort,
but your hand is already pushing my head down.”

“I pressed my head against his chest and breathed.
Nothing else mattered. Nothing else existed. For the time being.
I was finally where I had waited long enough to be, in his arms.
He stroked my hair and gave kisses to my forehead.
Love had definitely found us and tied us in a bow.”

“Fetch him breakfast.
Fetch him coffee.
Fetch his sheets for his bed.
Fetch him lunch.
Fetch his drink.
Fetch the ax to cut his head.
Fetch him dinner.
Fetch him tea.
Fetch the mop but watch him bleed.”

Here's a thought. Most people ask what inspires you to write? For me, it will always be the experiences I gain and the lessons I learn. Though never in the moment do I gain either of those two. It's always after seeing the bigger picture and truly understanding the purpose of my trials and tribulations. On 9/7/14 I was inspired to write my first young adult series, Graffiti. Now, with only 5 chapters left I continue to feel inspired to write a story that deals with that very same thing. Filled with romance, trials and tribulations and magic anything is possible!
CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of my Break the Chains, Be Freed Within giveaway!!!

Shelley CoriellThe Broken BOOK REVIEW: This was my first romantic suspense that I have ever read, and I have to say I have come to appreciate this genre. I knew what was going on and I was sitting on the edge of my seat as I turned the pages! Definitely a must read from start to finish. But to consider what Kate Johnson had to undergo in this mind gripping suspense with being stabbed several times from a familiar source yet still finding time to fit in a love interest...Well, it is simply romantic! Not to mention the talented, handsome Agent Reed! After all, what goes better with crime, then a little spice of romance??
Disposition of Remains Just received my third win in the mail!!! I love being surrounded by books of all different genres.
Sinful RelationsI received my copy of Sinful Relations and I cannot wait to read it! Thank-you K.A. Standen for giving me the opportunity to read something new!
In reading Christopher Buehlman's, The Necromancer's House, it inspired me to write the prelude for my first fiction, The Dark Wins, Sometimes. Which will be posted on my website, www.wordsunderconstruction.com very soon!
