Who was the man in the photo?
Here's another small unedited snippet from my FEB/MAR 2014 release ENTITY MINE.
Devon, the heroine, has just found Ethan's photo and been told that he's dead.
His eyes were light, green or blue, maybe hazel--she squelched the urge to ask. No need to make her oldest friend question her sanity--and thick lashes, half-lowered, made him look reserved. His hair was dark and short, military in its ruthless precision. His face had a lean, sculpted quality, as if he were the product of some artist’s imagination. His straight nose slashed toward his mouth and his cheekbones sheered diagonally across his face, carving his jaw into almost perfect triangles on either side. His lips were held tight, the only softness in his face the slight fullness of his bottom lip above the mere whisper of a cleft chin.
He reclined beside a huge, glass jar of coins on the concrete front stoop of the small ranch-style house -- one long leg bent, the other straight, his large right hand tucked across his lean ribs, the left propped on the step beside him -- making a black t-shirt and jeans look as sexy as nothing at all. Sexier.
Something gripped her heart as she gazed at the photo. She swallowed against the feeling.
Had she ever seen anyone who looked more alone?
Cover reveal coming soon!

Reviews = Stuff!
Never fall in love with a man in a photo. Especially, if he's dead . . .
Balanced on the knife-edge edge of going feral, chimera Ethan Wade has no idea what he is. All the former Navy SEAL turned maritime treasure hunter knows is his explosive temper has destroyed his life, driving him to an isolated rental house in Western, NY, to lick his wounds. When a molotov cocktail of rage and alcohol triggers an uncontrolled shift, he is caught between shapes.
Disembodied, he can only come to one conclusion: He's died and become a ghost.
Blowing the whistle lost lawyer Devon Daughtry her boyfriend, (not too much of a loss), her job, (a bit worse) and with the rents in Manhattan, a primo apartment (the straw that broke the camel's back).
Now she's run home to Cassadaga determined to re-build her life by hanging out her shingle as a psychic medium.
When she discovers a photograph of Ethan while moving in, she's crushed to discover the man whose lonely eyes strike a chord deep within her soul is missing and presumed dead. Soon, she begins having passionate dreams about him. Dreams that Ethan shares.
But Ethan isn't the only being in the house. A demonic presence has followed her home and it has diabolical plans for both of them.

Shiny things 12/18
Things distracting me today, December 18th 2014
1.A serious message from the Authors of Soul Mate Publishing http://youtu.be/xDsabUwY_vE #kindle #books I worked hard on this homemade video. I hope you'll take a gander! This video sucked away about ten hours of writing time What non-writing/work projects are sucking up your time?
2.Still Christmas shopping. I started early, but when I looked to see what I had it wasn't as much as I thought. Going into panic shopping mode. This is difficult as I am the queen of indecision! How's your shopping going? This is the first year I've shopped this far from Christmas. It was supposed to relax me, and make Christmas easy, but so far no dice.
3.I've got my latest hero and heroine inches from the clinch and every time I sit (or walk) down to seal the deal, I suddenly find something more important to do, like laundry.
Hope you're enjoying the season!
