Soundwave's Surrender Cover Art!





Soundwave is a Super who can bring down any man with her voice alone. Too bad she hasn’t been able to bring down General Pane. But now he’s on the run and she has a score to settle. And she’s going to make sure he pays up.

General Pane has a score of his own to settle. After all, it’s Soundwave’s fault he’s being hunted. He’s lost his job, his identity, and if he’s not careful his life could be next. With Soundwave firmly in his grasp, he’ll stop at nothing to make her pay. Even if he has to tie her up and gag her.

Excerpt: A Chance Encounter

Here is a short hot excerpt from my new release coming June 27th.

A Chance Encounter :

Excerpt:

Heather raced to her bedroom, grabbed the small suitcase, and was at the door before she sensed that someone was in her house. She’d been so close. So fucking close.
“Leaving?” a velvety voice asked from her dark kitchen.
“Whoever you are, get the fuck out of my house. I didn’t invite you in.”
“You opened the door to me earlier. I’d call that an invitation.” another voice interrupted from her bedroom.
The same voice from this afternoon. The damned delivery guy. “Look. You were delivering a package. I never invited you in.”
“You touched me.”
“That was an accident. You dropped the files.”
“No. You dropped the files. I was helping you pick them up.”
“Look, why don’t we call this an honest mistake, and you can leave.” The door was close enough that she should be able to get out of it before they reached her.
“I don’t think so.”
“I don’t even know you,” she turned toward the new guy, “so I know I didn’t invite you in.”
She gasped as two men stepped from the shadows. Both looked like the deliveryman from earlier today. Her heart jumped. Their dark hair was cut in the same cropped style, barely hitting their ears. Mirror images. Almost. The angrier one had the slight point at the top that most Fae possessed.
One smiled at her with a slightly lopsided grin, the other frowned. They both sported full lips. Lips just right to latch onto her pussy and suck her straight into an orgasm.
“If you invited him in, you invited me in, too.”
“Fuck.” Heather didn’t even bother trying to explain away what happened earlier. She dropped her bag and reached for the door. She opened it far enough to get a nice windy burst of night air before it jerked out of her hand and slammed shut.
Now would be a good time to be able to kick some ass. Too bad she couldn’t fight worth a damn.

Got new door

Today, I got new doors. A new front door and a new back door. The bad thing was I had to work from home while they were installed. Working from home meant no real lunch. Which means no real writing.

My word count hasn't moved in days. I feel so unproductive. But I know I can get some real work done....maybe tomorrow. I will try to get another page on the short I plan to submit to Changeling Press's Ezine before I go to sleep tonight. Wish me luck.

I need to finsih that so I can get back to The Pearl Heartstone. I just got to a good part on that book. REALLY GOOD. If I could take a paid week off work I definitely would. That way I might catch up on my sleep and my word count.

A Weekend in Review

Okay first I want to say a big thank you to the comic book industry. If you didn't know the first saturday in may was Free Comic Book Day. And I, being the fabulous mom that I am, took my son to two comic book stores that were participating. He got over 20 free comics...and I bought him one.

Now a couple are out of his league and will mysteriously disappear but the ones that stay will be read to him over and over again. We will be stopping back into the shop down the street from our house on Wednesdays to check for new comics.

Comics are great for my son. He is four (almost 5) and comics give him a sense of reading even though he isn't quite there yet. He knows some words and with the pictures he can figure out what's going on. He feels like he is truly reading.

SO big ups to the people who came up with Free Comic Book Day...and you can visit www.freecomicbookday.com to learn more.

Now on to my update. I am writing The Pearl Heartstone right now. I have a hard deadline of May 31st to have this done becuase I have deadlines. Deadlines. And not just self imposed ones. (Imagine me puffing out my chest here.) I feel important.

Also I have ad work I need to do. I will be advertising my books on several sites around the web and need new banner ads to promo. So that is about to be a few non writing hours in front of the lappy. Grrr...I could farm that out...but I'm sorta a control freak.

On the submissions front I have two stories out in sub-land. One called Fire and Isis is a SHORT short story and the other is called Too Hot To Handle it's a novella. I hope both sell. I'm crossing my fingers as we speak...well not really otherwise I wouldn't be able to type.

Okay this post has gone on long enough. Check back in later this week and slap me around if you don't see any change in the word meter for The Pearl Heartstone.
