The post COVER REVEAL: SHADED WITH LOVE – A Coloring Book For a Cause appeared first on N. E. Henderson | Author.

Does your inbox resemble the dreaded spare bedroom no one in your house likes to talk about? Well, mine does. I have 4 email accounts to keep track of and on top of that a lot of the emails are junk. Junk I signed up for at one point–for reasons I couldn’t tell you–but junk none-the-less.

My personal emails suffers the most because it’s the least often checked. Then I freak because I’ll see an email from my son’s teacher about something he was supposed to do.

So I’m on a mission to unsubscribe from all the lists I don’t want to show up in my inbox. I’ve been trying to do this for a while, but today I decided email clean-up is on. CalvinKlein.com got unsubscribed from today! I love their clothes, but I don’t order from their website. They don’t even sell size 16 pants on their site. I have to go to Dillard’s to buy something so I don’t need them sending me emails anyway.

So could you use some de-cluttering too? Who’s with me? Will you join me on my mission to de-clutter our inbox? Hopefully by March I’ll have a pretty inbox to report, but doubtful. I live in email hell. I don’t see it changing, at least not soon.

Later y’all. Got any good book recommendations? Feel free to fill up my comments with them. After all, fictional boys are a girls kryptonite…

The post Clutter, clutter, and more clutter appeared first on N. E. Henderson | Author.

Hey Y’all,

It’s not too late for New Year’s resolution’s right? Well, it has taken the month of January for me to really make a plan. I had my “resolutions” down at the start of 2016, as to what they are, but the plan to achieve them was missing. My plan is a work-in-progress and will probably be trial-by-error, but I do have plan.

So my resolutions…

Less chaos and more organization
More family fun-time
Improve my writing
Meet the editor of my dreams (may have found her)
Write more and publish more often

So, am I shooting for too many goals? I don’t think so. I think they are reasonable and are needed in my life. What about you? Were you late to game like me?

My plan to achieve these resolutions…

A day planner. Man have I been searching for the right one. They are hard to find. If you don’t know this, I’m left handed. And if you aren’t too then you probably have no idea our pain. Anything with a ring is the enemy. That is not an exaggeration. The struggle is real. So the planner! The one I’ve chosen is the Passion Planner. You’ll hear from me if I love it. I got the limited edition blue one. It arrived earlier this week and so far I really like it.
Actually using the day planner.
Planning my family meals. I’m the person that visit’s Kroger on a daily basis because I have no clue what I’m going to cook for the night until I get to the store. I HATE THIS. I hate to cook. I hate to grocery shop. I’m so not domesticated. Sometimes I’m not even sure why my husband married me.
Scheduling time to write, blog, market, research, and read. I do them on a whim. This is NOT good for me or my family and definitely not my writing. #ChaosIsTheEnemy

Reading is a sick obsession. I love it, love it, LOVE IT. And it can get in the way of my writing and spending time with my family. So it too must be scheduled.
Revamp my published work before creating new. I spoke about this in my last newsletter, but I’m having all of my books re-edited. The way I see it is if I’m not 100% satisfied with the quality of writing already out there then I needed to do something about it.
A home office–my dream. I’ve wanted one for several years now. I’m forcing my husband to get his sh*t together and get things done around our house so that I can finally have space for an office. We have so many projects going on at home that there doesn’t seem like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Can anyone relate?

Okay, so I think that is enough for Saturday, don’t y’all?

You guys have a good weekend and be sure to squeeze in a few chapters of a good book. At all… fictional  boys are a girls kryptonite. Am I right?

xoxo, nancy

The post My New Year’s Resolutions appeared first on N. E. Henderson | Author.

Hello readers.
It’s February… the month of love. Okay, so every month should have a focus on love, but lets face it, a lot of us don’t really take the time out to think about romance–our own romance–until February hits. Then it’s like BAM. What do I get my husband? What do I get me wife? Oh no, the kids, I have to get the kids something. When did Valentine’s incorporate our kids? I’m really curious. I remember when I was in grade school we handed out cute little cards with Barbie on them and whatever boys were into. I don’t remember. Now that I have a boy of my own, I feel like “boy stuff” is my life. All-in-all I’m okay with that. I was totally meant to have a boy.
 Okay, so it’s the month of love. To celebrate all things Romance I’m having a giveaway. 3 signed paperbacks are up to win along with some swag. Check it out below. I hope all of you have a great Valentine’s. Be sure to devour a good book when you can and you are sure to be happy this month! After all… fictional boys are a girl’s kryptonite.
ENTER GIVEAWAY HERE. Good luck.
xoxo, Nancy

BLURB:

She thought silence was her best option…until the past threatened to ruin her future.

Shannon Taylor has it all: great friends, her dream career, a loving fiancé, and a best friend that’s like the sister she never had. Life couldn’t get any better—or so she thought.

Just when you think you have it all, add in a little betrayal and a few lies and you have the perfect mixture for a storm, strong enough to send you spiraling into a life full of unknowns—or could that have been the point? When traveling down the wrong path sometimes we need to be blown into a different direction.

Now unsure of everything she had planned for herself, Shannon is on a mission to forget, but what she isn’t expecting to run into is the arrogant, womanizing, control freak that clearly thinks he’s a gift to all women. That may be for most women, but not this one.

Meet Nicholas Lockhart.

He’s sexy, domineering, and has a temper that is easily triggered, but those things are a must when in the business environment that he is. To be successful means to be the best, the alpha, controlling all others. 

Meeting a woman who can turn his world upside down is not in the cards, not part of the plan. Why have one woman when there are so many appetizing ones to taste? A renowned eligible bachelor is the person he likes to be, that is until the defiant, redhead turns his head and puts him in his place.

Their quick and intense passion takes them both by surprise, eliciting a relationship neither expected.

When her past collides with her present, Shannon is forced to confront it head on, tangling her in a web of lies and twisted truths that soon leave both bare and vulnerable.

Sometimes the only option is to be silent no more…

Author Notes: 

— This is not a stand alone book. 

Silent Guilt is now available and the conclusion of Nick and Shannon’s steamy and explosive romance.

This book is intended for mature audiences.

The post Shannon and Nick got makeovers… appeared first on NE Henderson | Author.

NO ONE IS PERFECT.

I wish I could scream it at them, but no one will listen to me. Instead, they choose to ignore me by making me into something I’m not. I try to make them happy, but no matter how hard I try it’s not good enough. I make good grades. Hell, I was top of my class senior year, but things happen. We make sacrifices for people important to us. My parents wouldn’t understand that. Instead, they say I could be better. I’m the good girl to everyone else, but to my parents I fall short. To most I have curves, to them I’m fat. I just want them to be happy with my imperfections. You know what? I’m tired of giving and getting nothing in return. Screw them.

The only one that I want to see me for who I really am…is him.

TARALYNN EVANS has always been the good girl, forced to befriend people she cares nothing about. She tries hard to be what them and everyone else expects her to be, but what’s the point when it’s never enough to gain their approval? She’s over lying to make others happy or self-sacrificing to spare their feelings. For once, she just wants to be herself. She wants to feel human, tired of being a puppet.

When tragedy strikes her in the worst way, she finds herself bargaining in distress, trying to find reason and rationality in what’s set before her, but will he give in when in most cases the good girl never gets the bad boy?

INK, SEX, LIES, LOYALTY.

Those are the things that define me, and my life. I do me. Nothing else matters. I don’t need anyone’s approval, nor do I seek it. I’m comfortable with the man I am. The only thing that haunts my dreams are those sapphire eyes that remind me of midnight. I will shut it down every single time. I can’t have her. She deserves more than what I’m after. The problem is that sometimes life is a bitch. That curveball was nowhere in sight, but now that it’s been thrown…my life may never be the same.

SHAWN BRADEN has always been the bad boy. He’s always had the love and support of his parents no matter what he does. He knows he can have any girl he wants. Too bad he never wants them more than once. What he truly wants is the one thing he’s never admitting to, not even to himself. What happens when he starts seeing past the facade she’s put on for years and shows him the real girl that is hiding inside? Will he fall against his will, or will she become nothing more than every girl before?

 

“Why the fuck was that prick bringing you home?”

After Mason made it known yesterday morning that I’m sleeping with Jared, you’d think Shawn would know the answer to that question. He probably does. He just wants me to verbalize it. I’m not going to.

“Leave it, Shawn.” I twist around and pin him with a stare. Next, I toss the tequila back, but this time my eyes widen. Ok, maybe my buzz wasn’t so much gone like I originally thought.

Wow. That was stout.

“How much have you had to drink?”

“Enough that I should be in bed.” What’s with the twenty questions? More importantly why does he even care? From what I saw earlier tonight, or last night really, Shawn and Mason left with the brunette trash from Level. I don’t have to guess what they left to go do and I certainly don’t want to imagine it.

“So, let me get this straight. You, drunk, got onto the back of Cole’s bike? Are you fucking crazy, Tara?” He doesn’t wait for a reply. “Or do you have a death wish?”

“Neither, are you done now?” His palm smacks the side of the refrigerator before turning. Moments later, I hear the door to the half bathroom down the hall slam closed.

I turn back around, pour yet another glass and down it. I’m going to pay for this when I wake up and it’s going to be so much worse than yesterday morning’s hangover. Screw it. If I’m going to do it in the first place, might as well do it right.

“You know, it’s only a matter of time before Holly has him back in her grasps. You don’t stand a chance with Shawn; you never have.” Cassie’s catty bitch-ass voice assaults my ears. Sometimes she’s worse than Amanda. I put up with Mandy’s shit because she is dating my best friend, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I deal with this bitch’s crap. Without giving it a bit of thought, I turn and leap forward. She needs a good butt kicking. I’m not a fighter. I know I can take her if I tried, but I don’t actively seek out confrontations. My mother would flip her lid, so I do what’s necessary to avoid that at all cost.

Before I reach her, a set of massive arms grab me by the waist, pulling me backwards and against his hard chest. “Get. Out. Of. My. House.” Shawn bites each word out through clenched teeth. I know they aren’t directed at me. Even if I weren’t looking at her shocked expression, I’d know they are aimed at Cassie Winston.

“What?”

“I don’t think he stuttered, Barbie?” Okay, Barbie is usually held for Holly, the queen bitch herself, but I had to. Sue me if you don’t like it. I don’t usually act like this, but I’ve had a fair share of alcohol tonight.

“You won’t disrespect her, or anyone else that lives here. Last time I checked, you don’t live here… so leave.” His words are still a bark. Shawn can come off quite scary at times. Frankly, Cassie looks like she is about to pee her pants. Inside, I’m loving it. This is so much better than me punching her. “Or I could let Tara go, but I don’t think you want me to. Trust me, she will crush you.”

I will? Hell, I don’t know if I will or not. I’ve never hit another person in my life. I’m bigger than Cassie, sure, in every way, but I’m not going there.

The snootiness crosses her face again. It’s the same one my mother wears around me. She should have been my mother’s kid. I’m certain her and my mother would get along much better than my mother and I do. “Yes, she would.”

Oh that bitch went there. Yes, I have issues with my weight. I’m not over weight, I don’t think, but I’m not thin or skinny by any means, and it doesn’t matter how much I work out, I’m never going to be a small size. I love to cook and I love to eat the food I cook. It’s just not in the cards for me. Doesn’t mean I like it, but she doesn’t have a right to throw it in my face, especially with Shawn standing here.

I try to jump forward, but Shawn’s hold on me tightens. “Leave. Now.” Another bark, only this time his voice is deeper. It’s a warning.

“Whatever.” She turns, exiting the kitchen followed by the house as quickly as her feet will move.

Once I hear the door click closed he releases me, and as he steps backwards the warm flannel shirt I’m wearing, Jared’s shirt, is pulled off my body. I turn, facing Shawn. What the heck is that about?

“Go take a shower?” My jaw drops. He rips the shirt down the middle, making two un-wearable pieces. What the flyin…

The material is disregarded and lands on the tile floor.

I plant my hands on my hips in a defiant gesture. He’s not about to order me around. I might take that crap from my parents, but I won’t from anyone else. “Excuse me?”

Shawn wastes no time. He springs forward in an instant, making me step backwards until my back collides with the wall. He continues to close in, placing his palms on the flat surface of the wall next to my face and leans in. “You smell like him and I don’t fucking like it.”

Oh tough shit.

“Because you smelling like a cheap whore is so much better,” I lash back. I don’t waste my time either. I take both of my hands, placing my palms on his chest and pushing as hard as I can. It might not have come across as a shove, because his body didn’t move away from mine as much as I intended it to. “Piss off, Shawn.” With those last words I leave the kitchen, taking myself up the stairs to my bedroom for a shower… and not because Shawn ordered me to, but because I do in fact stink.

If I weren’t as drunk as I am right now, I might have stopped to analyze what just happened between us, but I don’t. I’m going to struggle enough just getting out of my clothes to shower tonight, or this morning, or whatever the hell time of the day this is.

Mother effin’ jerk.

MEET N.E. HENDERSON

Hi, I’m Nancy.

I’m a mom, wife, writer, obsessed reader, and fiction whore to the chore. I’m an introvert. It takes me a minute to warm up to people, but once I do, you’ll probably never get me to shut up.

I live in the south, Mississippi to be exact. I love warm sunny days and I despise cold and raining weather. I have a love/hate relationship with my Bull Terrier, Xena. The little winch thinks my husband belongs to her when he most certainly does not; he belongs to me.

I love to read possibly even more than I love to write. That can be a problem when I have fictional people taking up room inside my brain and screaming to get out. They don’t understand why I can’t give them my full attention.

In my free time, I love riding my Can Am Maverick and finding new off road trails. I’m a city girl, married to a country boy, who likes to get a little dirty and sometimes muddy. Even though I don’t do it often, I love roller coasters. The steel coasters that is. I hate the wooden ones.

Readers, connect with me. I love hearing from you and reading your reviews.

xoxo,
