Back To Reality.....

I'm back from my most favorite place in the world, Cape May, NJ. And even though it was scorching hot and the water was loaded with jelly fish I wouldn't have wanted to be any other place in the world.

I find that I do my best writing when I am there. Maybe it's the salt air or the beautiful homes that make me feel creative. When I wrote my fist novel and now as I am on my fourth, my feelings are still the same. I'm not writing to become a millionaire (although I really wouldn't complain if that happened). I write because I have stories in my head that I want to share with everyone else and hope to give others enjoyment from. But a girl could dream right? So if one day Oprah just happens to pick up one of my books and like it....the first thing I would do is move down to Cape May permanently. I would spend my days sitting on my big front porch of the beautiful Victorian home that I  would buy with all of my money, while breathing in the salt air and listening to the seagulls fly overhead....and this is why I write fiction, I have a great imagination! But why I'm dreaming  - which house should I choose?

Another good writing spot is right here....minus the sand in your keyboard:

Thank you for fantasizing  along with me and for allowing me to share my pictures with you....now it's back to reality - unpacking, laundry and food shopping! Hope all of you have a great Sunday!

One week later.....

Well, it's been  one week since I officially introduced Travis and Mia to rest of the world  and so far everyone has been kind to them. I am very happy with the feedback that I've been receiving and I am so thankful that everyone loves Travis & Mia as much as I do. It is now available in paper back and on itunes. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to message me with their kind words, or wrote reviews on Drowning In Love, I really do appreciate it. To all of my favorite book bloggers....I was holding my breath that you guys were going to like it. Thanks for reviewing, blogging and spreading the word about it. I'm so glad that all of you enjoyed it! I'm still going through major character withdraw, missing Travis & Mia very much! But they have their happily ever after that they have to live out and they don't need me intruding in life anymore (don't mind me, I talk about my characters like they're real).

I will be on vacation this whole week. I will be bringing my laptop, to be spending some time with Dailan and Nicole but don't know what the internet access is like where I'm staying at. So, if you don't hear from me as much....I was not abducted by aliens. So continue to spread the word about Drowning In Love while I'm gone! Hopefully when I get back I will have a lot more pages of Dailan and Nicole for you guys.  Hope all of you have a great week....I know I'm going to try, really hard!

Saying Goodbye To Another Book Couple...It's Never Easy.

Well hopefully you all know by now, that I released my latest novel Drowning In Love a bit earlier than planned. I had planned on  July 22nd then I was thinking that July 10th would have been the perfect day, since the book was dedicated to my grandmother and her birthday is the 10th. But I was like a kid on Christmas morning an had to hit that publish button! 

It's live on Amazon, and nook. It's uploaded to itunes but not live yet and it should be available in paperback by next week. If anyone would like a signed copy you can order one right from this blog through the pay pal link. 

I'm excited but sad about it being released.....all of the anticipation is over. I can no longer open up my laptop and delve into  Travis' and Mia's world. Not to mention, I really miss them! I know this sounds crazy but, my characters become like old friends to me and when I end a book I feel like I've severed a friendship. Thankfully, I know that they are never too far away. I just have to fire up my kindle and I can go back and visit any of my book couples any time....and yes I do quite often!

So, now I have to  move on to my next book couple.....Hmmmm do you know who they are? I think you just may!

If you've read Drowning In Love or any of my books, would you mind leaving a review on Goodreads or whatever website that you purchased them from?

Drowning In Love on Amazon

My New Release is Live on Amazon

Well, my original date to release Drowning In Love was July 22nd until I got the edited/formatted copy in my hands and well....then the suspense was killing me! So, I was going to see if I could wait until I got 1,000 likes on my FB page and well....I got to 868 and I was climbing the walls to hit the publish button. So, I did! Travis and Mia's beautiful love story is now live on Amazon and should be live for nook very shortly.  I am hoping to have it up on paperback within the next few weeks. Now I feel a kid on Christmas morning who just got done opening all of their presents! On to my next book couple.....I think some of you may have already met them already! Here is the link to purchase on Amazon:

Happy Reading!!

Hello Sunday....

 I was going to wait until later to post the final teaser to Drowning In Love but....I'm impatient! I'm a little sad because this will be the final  teaser before it releases (and all of you know how much I love teasers). I can't believe that it's almost here. It's like preparing for a wedding all of the time an prep work that goes into preparing it and in one day.....it's over! But that just motivates me to conjure up more stories and characters to bring to life for you guys in new books!

Don't forget An Unplanned Lesson is still .99 cents on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. There's still time left to spend some time with a sexy Irish guys, for cheap! Plus, it will prepare you for my next book that I have coming your way - An Unplanned Life

Okay, I know what your thinking.....quit rambling and post the teaser already! (Don't forget to add to your TBR list on Goodreads)

Trying To Kick My Teaser Addiction

I can't believe it's less than a month away until the release of Drowning in Love. It's hard to believe that I will bringing another book couple to life on the pages of a book or in today's age the screen of an e-reader. Every time I get done writing a book, I feel like I won't be able to ever get into another book couple. When I wrote my first novel  The Exception To The Rule, I thought that would be my one and only. There was no way that I would ever be able to love another book couple as much as I loved Kat & Julian. But the writing urge hit me once again and I sat behind my laptop and began to type out Dailan & Nicole's story. I have to admit, it took me a while to get into them but once I did, I found that I love them just as much as Kat & Julian.  So, about four months ago, I decided to get to know a new book couple, Travis & Mia and guess what.....I love them just as much as the others!  I'm finding that my characters are much like my children, they are all unique in their own way  and I love them all just the same. I could never say that I have a favorite, because I love them all equally. I hope that you guys will love Travis & Mia the same way that you have grown to love my other characters.

I'm so excited for you guys to meet Travis & Mia. Their story is a beautiful one, that I'm thinking you may shed a few tears over. I have a confession to make, I have a bit of teaser addiction that I'm trying to kick. But have no fear, I have one more teaser that I will be posting very soon (possibly a bonus teaser as well....a girl like me can't quit cold turkey!) but I may have you guys work a little for that one. I've been posting so many teasers for this one, I'm going to end up in teaser jail! You can  add to your TBR list here.   You can also read the prologue here :

In case you have missed the many teasers that have posted over the past few months here they are once again (in order of the story line) Don't judge....it's a sickness...lol. :)

Teaser  #1

We stood in the hallway and waited for the elevator. “I have to give you credit, that was pretty slick,” I said.

“What?”

“Asking me for coffee in front of your grandmother, so I couldn’t say no.”

“You could have said no. No one was holding a gun to your head.”

We got into the elevator and continued with the conversation. “Look Travis, I think it’s better if you and I just don’t have any type of relationship. It’s obvious that we can’t be just friends.”

“No Mia, you’re wrong. We can be friends. Look, I’m sorry for what happened last night, this whole friendship thing with women is new to me. But I really do like you and I have a lot of fun when I’m with you. And I’m not going to lie; I think you’re absolutely beautiful.”
We stepped off the elevator and out of the apartment building into the warm muggy air.
“Travis, why would you want to be friends with me?”

“Why wouldn’t I?

“Because I’m just ordinary. I’m not those supermodels that you’re used to being around.

“No Mia, you’re not. You are so much more. Not only are you beautiful, but you also have a great personality, you’re smart and you’re funny. So sometimes ordinary is better.”



Teaser #2

We took a break and sat on a bench looking out onto the ocean. The warm breeze, the salt air and the familar sound of the seagulls flying overhead soothed my senses. There was no place else on earth that I would have rather have been at that particular moment. “How could you not like the ocean?” Travis asked as he stared off.

“It’s not that I don’t like it, I just don’t like swimming in it.”

“That’s because you haven’t been to the right ocean.”

I giggled. “An ocean is an ocean.”

“Have you ever been to an island?”

I shook my head.

“Well, if you had, then you would probably change your mind. Saint Lucia has some of the most beautiful beaches around.”

“I have no doubt that it’s beautiful Travis, but it still doesn’t change the fact that there a million little creatures swimming around with you out there. Not to mention, waves!”

He shook his head. “Not in Saint Lucia, the water is so calm it’s like being in a pool.”

“A pool with sharks, piranhas, barracuda’s and God knows what else.”

He laughed. “I’m going to make a swimmer out you yet, Mia”

“Try as you might, but it will never happen,” I smiled.

His smile back took my breath away, making me think, that maybe I could trust him enough to help me overcome my fears in more ways than one.

Yes.....Another Teaser!

I seriously think they need to start a Teaser's Anonymous support group for authors. I have so many teasers from Drowning In Love that I want to share with everyone that I probably would be able to tell you the whole story with all of them. I can't post them all....right? So I had two more that I really LOVED and thought were worth sharing. Here is the first of the two and the next and final one I will be sharing in a few weeks.
