Below is the cover and synopsis for Marcus's Novella

TRY ME

 

When Marcus Whitmore finally realizes he isn’t going to get the only girl he’s ever loved and his family isn’t going to be together, he decides it is time to move on. After all, the best way to get over a woman - is to get another woman under you. Which is exactly what he does, thinking that a night of passion will ease Emma from his mind. What Marcus doesn’t plan on is waking up to an empty bed and the memory of a woman he can’t forget.

Weeks later, when Marcus runs into Tabby again, he is determined to have her back in his bed. The problem? Tabby is his son’s teacher. And if anyone finds out that Tabby is involved with Logan’s dad, she could lose her job.

Is Marcus worth the risk? Are the best things in life really worth fighting for?

REMEMBERING US is LIVE

Now live on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Links to Kobo and ibooks will come as soon as they're available.

My life was perfectly mapped out for me since before I was born. I followed it, begrudgingly, because it was expected. And then one day, everything changed.

I woke up.

Different. Independent. Free from all the rules that had defined my life.

Only I have no idea how I got to where I am. I have no memory of the last two years. I don’t remember graduating college, and I certainly don’t remember Adam – the boyfriend I live with.

He loves me. And I love him. At least that’s what everyone says. But when my memories return to me as dreams, I see a different man than the one everyone claims is perfect for me.
He terrifies me. He makes my heart race and he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before.

Do I want to welcome the emotional chaos that his piercing brown eyes and messy black hair causes every time I get a glimpse of him? Or should I run back to the perfectly manicured life that used to be mine?

In with a BANG!

2013 ushered in a year that has been one of the wildest and craziest years of my life.

I have YOU to thank for that! So Thank you! Pop some champagne and celebrate my excitement of releasing THREE books in a year with me. One which hit the Amazon Bestseller List. It's a huge accomplishment and I wouldn't have been able to reach it without the amazing bloggers and readers and fellow authors that I have the privilege of meeting and getting to know!

<3 <3 <3 big time!

And 2014 is beginning with a few exciting first couple of months.

REMEMBERING US is coming!

 



And with the new release, I will be giving away ARCs over the next couple of weeks so make sure you check out my facebook page for more information.

I'm so excited to get Adam and Amy's story into your hands. I hope it makes you laugh, makes you smile, pull your hair, and hopefully - makes you want to throw your ereader a few times. (please don't - otherwise I may feel obligated to replace it;-))

And in March, I'm heading to the Big Apple for my FIRST signing! I can not wait to meet the ladies at the Authors In The City signing, and to meet readers and fans and *wiggles eyebrows* cover models.

It's sure to be an incredibly fun weekend.

And then!? Because this isn't enough!? I'll also be releasing the first book in my new series in late March/Early April. With hopefully, the second book to follow it quickly so there isn't too long of a wait for you :) Daemon, Ryker, Jaden, Finn.....these guys will make you swoon and take you for a ride on the back of their bikes like no other.

So that's it....the first look into my upcoming year. I'll be busy writing, reading, playing with my kiddos and hoping and praying like crazy that our horribly bitter cold winter passes quickly. And in the meantime, we'll be drinking lots of hot chocolate and eating bowlfuls of Skittles.

Remembering Us - Chapter One

Here's a part of Chapter One of Remembering Us.
RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 14, 2014

Hope you enjoy it :)

Warning: It's unedited and subject to change.

My steps are slow and my feet are uncertain.

The edges of the stairway I’m being pulled down are gray and cloudy from the smoke wafting up from the basement dance floor.

Kelsey is pulling me somewhere I don’t want to follow. Why don’t I want to be here? The answer niggles at the edges of my mind but I can’t pull it to the front. It’s just out of my grasp, like always.

A sweaty shoulder bumps me into the wall and my hand is pulled from Kelsey’s. Cold foamy beer splashes out of a red plastic cup and hits my shoulder. Kelsey doesn’t look back to see where I am and the blonde guy who hit me doesn’t stop to ask if I’m okay.

I steady my feet and take another step down. The dance floor is packed with people and the music is so loud the thumping bass rattles my teeth. My eyes scan the dark room - brightened only by the strobe light hanging in the center of the ceiling – looking for someone.

The lump in my throat disappears when I realize he isn’t here. He’s not here and a mixture of relief and disappointment swirls inside of me. I smile and reach Kelsey at the bar. The guy behind it smiles at both of us and hands us our filled plastic cups, but I wave mine away. His name is Zander and he’s in my Statistics class. I laugh at something he says as he and Kelsey leave for the dance floor. The nervousness returns when I’m by myself and my eyes scan the room. I should leave now, before he comes.

But then I see him, and I can’t help but smile. He’s a head taller than everyone else and as he hits the bottom stair he has to duck his head to make it through the doorway. A small section of his black hair falls into his eyes and he flips it back.  As if he knows I’m here, his eyes find me immediately and he smiles, walking toward me.

His smile lights up the room and I am no longer worried. Kelsey is gone, Zander is a distant memory and I don’t know if there’s music still playing.

When Adam is around me – my brain flees and my heart flip-flops. His kisses make me lose my mind and remind me of dark chocolate, full of all those feel-good hormones.

He’s a few feet from me when he reaches his arm out like he wants to hug me. I take a step forward but before my foot hits the ground, I’m bumped to the side. I blink and a tiny blonde is wrapped around Adam. Her legs are around his waist and her arms are around his shoulders. She’s completely latched onto him. He smiles at me. His eyes stay on mine as he kisses her forehead and sets her to her feet.

“Hi, Amy.” The little blonde scowls at me. Adam’s eyes are laughing at me.

This. This is why I didn’t want to be here.

#

 

“So who was the girl?”

I stare at the ceiling, ignoring my therapist’s question. I hate this room. The walls are yellow, but not a happy yellow. More like what I imagine baby poop looks like. And the chairs haven’t been updated since at least the sixties. By the time my sessions are done, the only thing that’s changed is the imprint of the scratchy fabric on the backs of my thighs.

Instead of answering the question, I count the ceiling tiles and multiple the rows. Ironic that I use math at a time like this when it was a math class that got me into all this trouble in the first place.

Reliving all these dreams every week is almost as exhausting as having them in the first place and talking about them isn’t making anything better.

“Adam?” Dr. Jamison has lost interest in my silence, again, and turns to him. She’s about fifty years old and her faded blonde hair that hangs down to her waist is always braided. She wears flowy, multi-colored hippy skirts and mismatched tops every time I see her. Sometimes I want to ask her if she has a joint, just to see what she says.

“Tina,” he says softly. I stare out the window at the playground that sits empty at the park across the street. “It was just Tina.”

“Who’s Tina?”

“She was a friend from home. We grew up next door to each other. She was in town that weekend visiting other friends from our high school that went to school with me. That’s all.”

That’s all. It’s only two words, but they sound so condescending every time I hear them. It tells me that everything I’m either dreaming or remembering is made up or a half-truth of what the real life events actually were. It tells me that I’m being an idiot for believing them over my boyfriend who loves me. Or so I’ve been told. Maybe I’d believe them if I remembered Adam at all.

Remembering Us Cover Reveal and Excerpt!

I've been anxiously and excitedly waiting for today for WEEKS!

So...what's it about?

 

SYNOPSIS

My life was perfectly mapped out for me since before the day I was born. I followed it, begrudgingly, because it’s what was expected.
And then one day, everything changed.
I woke up.
Different. Independent. Free from all the rules that had surrounded me.
Only I have no idea how I got to where I am. I have no memory of graduating college. No memory of Adam, the boyfriend I live with.
He loves me. And I love him. At least that’s what everyone says.
Except when my memories return to me as dreams, I see a different man than the one everyone claims is perfect for me.
He terrifies me. He makes my heart race and he makes me feel things I’ve never felt before.
I have no idea if I want to welcome the emotional roller-coaster that his piercing brown eyes and messy black hair puts me on every time I get a glimpse of him, or if I want to run back to the safe shelter of the scripted life-plan that used to be mine.

EXCERPT:

My booted cast scrapes across the pavement. My ankle hurts and my arm is itchy from my cast. The staples in the back of my head were removed last week. Now all I have is a square patch of hair that is just beginning to grow back. I have a gash on my right side that runs from my hip bone almost to my breast. It looks like someone tried to slash me open with a jagged edged knife. The skin is healing, the stitches are innumerable, and every time I turn my torso it feels like someone is trying to rip my kidney out with their bare hands.

There was a hiking accident. That’s all I know. The rest is being left up to my memory that my doctors have assured me will return. How in the hell do they know? What if I never remember? It’s been weeks since I woke up from a coma and I don’t remember anything more than the fact that I live with a stranger and I don’t like him when I dream.

I’m still resting against the side of Adam’s car, fingering the back of my scalp when he comes outside. He stands next to me, crossing his feet at the ankles. We don’t touch. That small whisper of a touch he gave me in the doorway is the first time his hands have touched me since I the day I tripped in our kitchen. His arms reached out and caught me and I froze, paralyzed by having his hands on me. He shook his head, sighed, grabbed his keys and left the apartment and didn’t come back for two hours. When he did, the scent of beer laced his breath.

“I’m sorry I keep getting frustrated with you, Ames.” His head falls and he runs a hand down the front of his face. “I just miss you.”

His voice trembles a little bit and he sounds sad. He looks sad. I wonder what it would feel like to see him smile again like he did the night in my dream. Until the blonde girl, Tina, jumped into his arms he seemed happy to see me. Was he? Was I a game? If so, why am I still here? I press my fingers to my temples, hoping to stave off the beginning thumps of another headache.

“Who’s Tina?”

Thank you to everyone who has read it already and left a review. Thank you for the messages and comments and emails I have received, DAILY!

 

It blesses my heart and impacts me in a way that I simply can't describe to know people are not only reading, but connecting with my work.

 

Thank you - you're amazing.

 

And now - on to some more good stuff! And the reason for my silence.

I have been a busy little bee :)

 

Part of the craziness of being a writer is that once you start an idea, more ideas just do. not. stop. coming. I am constantly writing down notes about new characters who pop into mind, conversations, a quick sentence here or there, and sometimes, an entire story line for a new book will pop into my head and refuse to leave until I put pen to paper, and finger tips to keyboard keys and type out the story as fast as I can.

 

And because of that, I will be revealing a new cover to you soon.

REMEMBERING US will be released in January, 2014. Originally, I thought it was going to be the 14th, but it might come sooner. *shrug* who knows. It'll be done when it's done, I guess.

 

This is my first attempt at a NEW ADULT ROMANCE and I love the story. I love the characters and I can not WAIT to introduce you to Adam and Amy and hopefully, fall in love with their story.

So what's it about?

Well, I'll talk more about that soon. The cover reveal is scheduled for the 21st so in TEN DAYS you'll be able to see the cover and the synopsis and I'll start posting teasers like a mad woman.

 

Until then, you can add it on goodreads:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18748216-remembering-us

but there's not much to see :)

 

AND. Not only that, but I have an entire SERIES screaming at me. Working on a standalone is tough enough with the characters constantly speaking to me, often keeping me awake at night or waking me in the middle of it to write something down.

 

But this is my first series, and I can't wait. I'm 100 pages into the first draft of the first book, and it's getting GOOD folks.

This will be at least three books. Maybe four - who knows. We'll see what happens. But I have the first three books plotted out for the most part, and yesterday, one of the characters surprised me and started giving me hints about what he might have to say in the future, so like I said - I hear lots of voices and I'm trying to get them down as fast as I can for you!

 

I haven't ever planned a series before, so I'm nervous and excited and having lots of fun figuring it all out.

So what's it about? Or who?

Daemon and Olivia. Biker children. Born into the life, children of the President and VP. They were all planned to leave the club, the life and their town behind. But then, you know, shit happens and plans change :)

 

I can't say much more than that. But Olivia is my favorite character to write so far. She's tough. She could kick your ass. Seriously. And mine, too, so I have to be careful with her.

 

But there's BIKERS. And Motorcycle hotties. And tattoos and hot SEX. Guns and murder. Mayhem. Mischief. Tough men and the strong women who aren't afraid to fight for what they want and put their tough men in their place every once in awhile.

 

I'm HOPING that the first book of The Nordic Lord series, "Point of Return" will be ready by March.

 

So that's it. Anything else you want to know?

October 24th!!!

October 24th is just two weeks away! You will have your hands on Mia and Chase's in just fourteen short days.

I have to admit, I'm most nervous about this book yet. When I first published Just One Song, I had NO idea what I was doing. I have been CONSTANTLY blown away by the response and feedback I've received on it.

I was certainly not expecting readers to start asking and then begging and DEMANDING for Mia and Chase's story to be written. To be honest: I never PLANNED their story. Not until I was asked for it, anyway. And then they started telling me their story :)

I love Mia and Chase. I hope all you readers who asked for their story aren't disappointed. I wrote it for you :) Because you flooded my facebook page daily asking for it. And because I want to make you happy if I'm able to. So I hope you love their story, and that you don't think it sucks.

:)
