Thanks for your question. I have several projects in flux right now but none are at a point where I know when they will be complete and ready for publication. The sad answer is... I don't know. I'll be sure to let everyone know if/when I get to that point. (less)

Sample Sunday: Try telling yourself I don't like you

Issa new sample from REGATTA, coming Labor Day (ish)REGATTA is coming soon, and I’m so excited to introduce you to Dess and Silas.These two spend an impressive amount of time bickering for people who are very obviously attracted to each other. Dess is the captain. Silas was supposed to be the captain. Oop . And it would probably be easier for him to get over that if she weren’t so damn good at Read more of this blog post »

"Hello, my Regency-loving friends. Interesting, isn’t it, that the actual Regency last only from 1811-1820, but the periods before and after can also be considered part of the era?  When trying to explain to the uninitiated, what the Regency is, I’..." Read more of this blog post »

“But day in and day out, I’m watching the man I know as my father disappear inside the shell of a man I’ve never met, who doesn’t know me.”
D.L. White, Brunch at Ruby's

“Malcolm is fucking my best friend.”
D.L. White, Brunch at Ruby's

“I realized that's all I've ever wanted. You're all I've ever wanted, Evangeline. I'm tired of pretending that's not true. I'm tired of thinking I can replace you with someone else. Anyone else. I'm tired of not being with you.”
D.L. White, A Thin Line

“ 'Sugar, aint you ever had no good time?' she said with a bit of sadness in her voice.
'What you mean?' Sugar said,...
'Seems to me that I ain't never see you look up from whatever you were doing and just smile.'
'Just smile? Smile at what? At who?'
'Smile into the air, girl!' she said and waved her arm through the air....you better start, 'cause time is running and a life without good times ain't a life worth having.”
Bernice McFadden, Sugar

“Sugar ain’t spoiled, she just a little bruised, is all. Bruises can heal and fade away to nothing.”
Bernice L. McFadden, Sugar

“Keeping her man well fed and fucked are number one priorities that she can’t slack on because you can never know when a woman dressed to the nines with a blond wig, long legs and a high fat ass that should have been equal to you in almost every way may decide to hop on the first southbound Greyhound and end up looking at you through whispering letters on a dusty storefront window.”
Bernice L. McFadden, Sugar
