I am so excited to finally reveal the cover for Bitten by Darkness, a full-length prequel to my Forbidden Fate series.  But first, the description.

A SLAVE WITH A SECRET EVEN SHE DOESN'T KNOW

They bleed her every night.  Without fail, without a thought, without a choice.  Their fangs sink into her flesh and make her skin crawl.  Make her want to punch some pointy teeth out if she could.  Nessie Robinson is a vampire's slave.  And it sucks.  Pun intended. 

But he was different.  He made her smile.  Made her want to get closer.  Until he abandoned her.  That was ten years ago.  And now, he's back.  His return stirs pieces of her deep inside.  Pieces she thought she'd buried years ago.  Pieces she didn't even know were there...

A VAMPIRE WITH A PLAN THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE HER

Charlie Matthews wants one thing.  Revenge.  And after four long centuries, he's finally getting close.  Until he tastes...her.  The girl he'd foolishly befriended years ago.  A single drop of her blood triggers the bond.  Marks her as his.  But his Maker never allows mates to live long.  Torn between the revenge he's planned for centuries and the need to keep his mate in one piece, he screws up.  Big time.  And his mistake could cost him his revenge and the mate he never knew he needed…

ONE BITE COULD CHANGE YOUR FATE

I've thought about this and mulled it over for almost six months now, and I've finally made a decision.

Two years ago, I published my first book, titled First Kiss of Freedom at the time. A few short months later, I published my second book, titled Kiss of Fire. I sold a few dozen copies between the two since October of 2018. Nothing to write home about, I assure you. Considering I had virtually no budget, few connections, and little experience at the time, I'm calling those few dozen copies a success. But time's have changed.

And that means those books need to change. I've learned a lot in two years and I think it's time to revamp these books and try to do them justice. With the first draft of book three complete, I've decided to unpublish the first two books from Amazon. I want to give all the books a complete facelift. New titles, new covers, and even some extra content. Some of which you will already see as you're perusing around here. ;) Unfortunately, due to Amazon's rules, that means having to publish them under new ISBN numbers.

I'm optimistic about this new beginning. I have a much better idea of cover design, storytelling, and marketing tactics that might actually work. I'm excited to see how much more I can accomplish with this newfound knowledge of the industry.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and wish me luck!

Happy Reading, Happy Writing, Happy Life

The new year and new decade is here. That made me think it’s time to re-evaluate what’s going on in my life, my career, and make some changes.

If you follow me on Youtube, there’s a lot of changes going on there, so make sure to check out that video below. If you don’t follow me on Youtube, you should. 😛 No, but seriously, Facebook and Youtube are THE place to follow me if you want the most up-to-date information on my books, my author career, and honestly, just my life in general.

Click here to view Youtube video.

One the other hand, if you want first dibs on freebies and giveaways, then my newsletter is the place to be. My subscribers are those that I’ll be turning to first for alpha readers, ARC team members, and they’ll also be getting some free goodies throughout the year like short stories, giveaway baskets, and signed copies.

I’ll be releasing the third book in my Whitemoon Warriors series this year and my newsletter subscribers will be the first to receive a free ebook copy of it as my way of saying how much I appreciate them.

Join my newsletter here.

This year is all about being realistic for me. Last year, I tried to do too much in a short period of time and it bit me in the you-know-where. I have kids, pets, a house, and a hubby that all need some of my time. I have books that need to be written and a vow renewal that needs planning. That means I’ll be trying to focus less on other forms of social media like Instagram, Twitter, etc. I’ll be putting all my attention in the platforms I enjoy. Youtube, Facebook, Goodreads, and my newsletter. This will be my year of pruning. Where I cut out those things that aren’t necessary or I don’t enjoy doing anyway.

What will 2020 mean for you? Let me know in the comments.

And as always,

Happy Reading, Happy Writing, Happy Life

These days we hear the word "tropes" all over the tiny corner of the internet that belongs to books. What are they, why do they matter, and why do we love some more than others?

Tropes are basically a theme that encompasses the overall plot of a story. And they matter because it is an easy, searchable term that readers and authors can use to find and market books that interest them.

Now, there are a ton of tropes out there, especially in the romance genre, but for the sake of not making this blog post the length of a novel, I'll focus on the most popular of them.

The Love Triangle: A story that focuses on one character falling in love with two (or more) different love interests and ultimately having to choose one.

The Reverse Harem: A story that focuses on one character falling in love with two (or more) different love interests and NOT having to choose one.

Fake Relationship: A story that focuses on two characters that have to pretend to be in a relationship for some reason and end up falling in love for real

Forced Marriage: A story that focuses on one or both characters being forced into an unwanted marriage and ultimately falling in love with each other.

Fated Love (or Fated Mates): A story that focuses on the two characters being destined to be together, often involving a strong and undeniable attraction and emotional connection.

Billionaires: A story that focuses on one character (usually a woman) gaining the affections (and love) of a wealthy man.

Friends to Lovers: A story that focuses on two characters that have been long-time friends falling in love.

Enemies to Lovers: A story that focuses on two characters that strongly dislike each other or are on opposite sides of a conflict falling in love.

So, now that you have a little description of what these popular tropes are, do any of them ring any bells for you? Maybe realized you tend to gravitate towards romances of a particular trope? Any favorites? Any that immediately turn you off? Let me know by commenting below!

Well, it's official. The cold, windy days of January are here. In Pennsylvania, the months of January through March are typically the coldest months of the year. They also happen to be the highest chances of snow as well. If winter is your favorite season, I kinda sorta maybe get it. I mean if (and only if) it snows, it is a truly beautiful time of year. Honestly, it smells pretty amazing when it snows, too. But, here in PA, the chances of snow remaining on the ground for that perfect, pretty winter scene for more than a day or so is minimal. So, tell me, does it snow a lot where you live? Do you have those picturesque white winters? If you do, comment below and share a photo.

I've discovered that I am not actually sick. Since mid-December, I could have sworn that I had a helluva cold. But my doc says "nope, you've got allergies." I have never snorted so much nasal spray in my life. Give me a cold any day.

In other news, I finally started my Youtube channel. Yay me! I've got a few videos up now and my channel will focus on writing goals/advice, the oh-so-elusive writer/family balance act, and writing vlogs and live events as I begin the work of Kiss of the Arctic. It's gonna be a crazy, busy, and fantastically fun year. :D

Happy Reading, Happy Writing, Happy Life

Much love XOXO

Why are the holidays so stressful?

I can't be the only person asking myself this question, right? Of course not. Between the shopping, the gift wrapping, and the events, this time of year is undoubtedly busy for everyone. Especially when you figure in all your regular day-to-day 24/7/365 activities. Well, this year got to me in particular because my husband was away. He had a military training exercise several states away for just under three weeks right after Thanksgiving. Leaving me alone with a daughter who hates doing homework and enjoys video games and Youtube way too much, a toddler that is literally up my rear end (he is sitting on my lap as I type this), a dog that will whine incessantly when she wants you to play with her, but never when she has to go out to pee. Right now, my beloved cat Lucy is the only member that isn't testing my sanity.

All this means that I have been writing the final chapter of Kiss of Fire for a solid three weeks. One single chapter. This is officially insane. Have no fear, I tell myself and my readers, however. Because help is on the way in the form of my wonderful husband, who returns later today. Which means even if I have to run away to a coffee shop to finish this chapter, I will finally be able to do so. And, trust me, I have every intention of doing so. ;)
