Hi everyone. I have just reviewed my first paperback proof of Mended and have submitted the necessary changes. As soon as the changes are approved, my order will be placed for the second review. If everything goes well, then it goes to ebook formatting and publishing. I am so eager for everything to be ready for release, it's hard for me to contain myself as I wait idly. If there are no more hiccups, I should have the official release date within the next few weeks! Stay tuned for that announcement. While you wait, I have another new Mended excerpt for you. Enjoy.

Get your hands off of her. She’s mine. His sudden possessiveness surprised him. For a moment, it almost felt like he had feelings for Ashley.
