Hallowed Destiny is LIVE!

It’s been a year since Destiny was abducted by sick demon worshipers who intended to use her as a human sacrifice. They’d already carved evil-looking symbols all over her body when she somehow managed to escape. Tonight is Halloween — the one-year anniversary of her abduction — and she’s determined to return to the woods where she nearly lost her life. She doesn’t expect to see a white lion waiting for her. Aren’t black cats supposed to be bad luck on Halloween? Perhaps a white lion will be the opposite of evil. Or, maybe she’s finally lost her mind, because lions are not indigenous to Tennessee and Georgia.   Buy it at:

As she’s considering the idea of finding someone who’d enjoy hurting her without requiring her submission, her life is complicated by a Dom who pushes all of her buttons. Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon Dana is ready to submit to Zach, but she’s going to be surprised by the depth of her submission. She’s comfortable dominating Jacob, but can a power exchange relationship work with four people?  Zach thought he’d worked through his issues, but a painful reminder of the past makes him question whether he can accept Dana’s submission.

What better safeword than matte? Sam wants to find someone to submit to who she can’t beat in a fight. She’s tried to make it work with men from the scene who know nothing about fighting, but it doesn’t feel real to her – she needs someone who can truly control her. However, after dating from the fight scene and discovering not all guys like to spank their girlfriends, she’s decided to just back away from the whole dating thing for a while… until Fate decides to step in.

Snarkology Blog Tour

    Welcome to the Snarkolog Halloween Hop! Keep reading to the end for a chance to win an ebook copy of Acceptable Risk! Have you checked out Careful What You Ask For yet? It’s the latest paranormal romance in The Chattanooga Supernaturals, a sister series to my urban fantasy series, Only Human. Both are also in the same universe as my bikers, and we first meet Brianna in Gonzo‘s story. It’s a stand-alone though, so don’t worry if you missed meeting her in Gonzo!   When a wolf mates with a human, the child is nearly always a wolf. Briana was raised as a werewolf, but puberty hit and she never changed. She’s persuaded a few wolves to bite her, but it never took. At nineteen, she’s going to give it a final try. This time, she’ll ask someone who was bitten instead of being born to it, to see if it makes a difference. She grew up welcome in the Pack until she was branded a human. Her developing teenage psyche was wounded by their rejection, and she holds nothing but ill will for the Pack and all it stands for. However, it’s fine for a human to glare at the Alpha and tell him he isn’t the boss of her. Trying it as a wolf is another story. She’s determined to make a go of it as a lone wolf, but Randall — the local Alpha — has other ideas, despite the fact she’s property of his brother’s motorcycle club. Briana was raised to be a werewolf and she finally feels whole, but the transition is different for everyone. She understands supernatural politics, but she’s going to have to maneuver through the highest levels of them as a brand new wolf still struggling for control.     […]

Fourteen nights of Halloween giveaway

I’m happy to be part of the giveaway tour! I’m supposed to talk about my favorite scary something, and for me, nothing compares to A Nightmare on Elm Street. I don’t do scary, but I figured dreams out long ago, so this topic in particular is one I forced myself to endure the nerve-wracking music so I could get the storyline. My aunt used to pull me into her nightmares so I could fight her monsters. I know how to fight monsters in dreams, and I needed to know how this worked out. I loved the ending of the first. Bad things feed off your fear, so don’t give them any energy. Love it. What’s your favorite scary movie or book?   It’s that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, the air is getting cooler and the nights are getting spookier. Yes, it’s time for tricks and treats, goblins and ghouls, chills and thrills and huge amounts of sugary sweets.

Tense

When considering tense in a first person narrative, let’s think about the way we talk. If I’m talking about someone who’s still alive, I’ll say, “He’s so funny, conversations with him are a hoot.” However, if the gentleman is dead, we say, “He was so funny. I loved my conversations with him. He could have me laughing at the drop of a hat.” If I’m talking about the Tennessee Aquarium, I speak of it in the present tense. However, I speak of the World Trade Center Towers in the past tense. Those are extreme examples, but we do the same with everything in our lives. I speak of the sofa-sleeper that used to be in our family in the past tense, and the wrap-around sofa in the present tense. “The sofa sleeper was so uncomfortable, but I love the way the chaise on this sofa supports me when I work.” Two tenses in the same sentence, and it’s correct. Tense was designed so people will know if you’re referring to the past, present, or future. Here’s a teaser from Ghost (releasing October 14th) I’ve read about people wanting a spanking — women who act bad just so their husband will paddle their bottom — but no way was I ever going to want this. Dare’s a werewolf and he’s fucking strong. I know he doesn’t spank with all his strength, but that doesn’t matter because it’s more than I can handle and I was screaming and begging from the first strike. She starts out speaking in the past tense, but since Dare is still a werewolf, Hailey doesn’t speak of his status as werewolf in the past tense. If she did, readers would think I (the author) was foreshadowing some traumatic event that would either kill him or make him […]
