Here it is!

This is happening. The cover is ready! Spin the Love will be released on Oct. 1!!!

It was supposed to be a game to heat up their summer—not ruin their lives.

Sixteen-year-old Whispy Callahan lands in trouble thicker than Florida’s humidity when she plays a twisted game of Dare. Everything would have been fine if she hadn’t fallen for one of the player’s “targets” along with dredging up buried murderous tendencies. Forget the game—now Whispy needs to find her boyfriend’s murderer, but that might prove difficult since everyone thinks she’s insane. They could be right.

All great things must come to an end.

The sale is overr :(
BUT! You can still read my books - either free with Kindle Unlimited or for a relatively low price of $2.99.

While you're trying to make up your mind about which one you'd like to buy first, let me feed your readerly soul with things people are saying about my stories.

White Star:


"This book - one of the best I have read in recent times."

"I read this book in 2 days and I'd love to see it as a movie."

"It's certainly a tear jerker though so have the tissues ready."

"I spent a magical evening in the Keira's world!"

"Get ready to have your heart broken then stitched back up."

"My friends, be sure to grab your tissues. And, ahem, the heat factor is bumped up in White Star also."

"Amazing read brings young love and dreams and family into an emotionally compelling story that will keep you captivated as you find yourself walking along with Keira, feeling her every emotion!"

Moment(s):


"A fast-paced, intriguing read with mystery, drama and a lot of moments of humor and romance"

"I want them all to be my friends!!!" She says about bandmembers of Jagged Black.

"I fell for Julian the moment I realized this rock star secretly pined for Emilie for a year." 

"I love the band! Amazing dynamic, I’m so happy! *dances* "

"This book hooks you from the beginning and leaves you squirming like a jabbed worm until the end."

"Anyone who doesn't read this is seriously missing out. "

"I'm pretty sure the English snob in me fell for Emilie at the mere mention of her writing poetry in "iambic pentameter" but the girly side of me was in love with Julian, the rocker with a heart of gold"

"The plot goes deeper than most books dealing with fame, fandom and bands, which was refreshing. It gripped me and had me hooked up until the last page."

Tricolor:


"It became overwhelming at times, flirting with the lines between realism and insanity, but that was the point."

"One night whilst celebrating Jamie’s birthday the thrill begins when the family have two unexpected visitors. What follows is a fast pace thriller that you can not put down. (I read it in a matter of hours)." 

"This was a quick, sharp thriller. There was not a dull moment in it. I read it in one sitting, in one day. "

"The plot was riveting and completely original, keeping my adrenaline pumping right until the last page."

"Because of how the story went and the way the book was written I didn't want to stop reading. The suspense feeling being all the time alert."

"Suspense at its best."

"TRICOLOR is definitely not your average New Adult book. I never quite knew where it was going and the characters and plot constantly surprised me--in the best way."



Here are some hand-dandy links to buy them:
WHITE STAR is here.
TRICOLOR is here.
MOMENT(S) is here.

A review of White Star

"White Star would appeal to readers who like a bit of paranormal with their coming of age story."

A new trip - Let's be O'Ryan Cruze from Tricolor

You gear your motorcycle down before pulling up to a steaming gas station in Orlando, Florida, the engine gives a satisfying rumble under your control. While you're pumping, careful not to drip gas on your amazing paint job, black with a lime green snake skeleton, a newer model economy car rolls by slowly. Cars zoom around it, but the driver only continues to creep by the gas station. The two men inside the little car can't take their eyeballs off you, so you give them the finger. Instead of laughing off their embarrassment, the typical tourist reaction for caught staring at anything or anyone too long, they keep looking. A little shudder roves over your shoulders, and the gas nozzle tinks against the opening in your tank. As the men get past a little bit, you notice the rental sticker in the back windshield. Travelers, yes, but not tourists. Something tells you they weren't here for Disney World or the Pirate Arena dinner theater.

First crazy-funny paper I found in my mother's junk room

I do not take credit for writing this - only typing it out.

RANDOM WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM

Dear Diary,
For my birthday this year, I purchased a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.

I called the club and made my reservations for my personal trainer named Luke, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swimwear.

Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.

Monday:
Started my day at 6 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Luke waiting for me. He is something of a Greek God with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo-hoo!

Luke gave me a tour and showed me the machines.

I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted my workout today. Very inspiring!

Luke was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a fantastic week!

Tuesday:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Luke made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me.

Wednesday:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals.
Driving was okay as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.

Luke was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. His voice was a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.

My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Luke put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Luke told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other shit too.

Thursday:
Asshole was waiting for me with his vampire-teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being in a half an hour late -  it took me that long to tie my shoes.

He took me to workout with dumb-bells. When he wasn't looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny bitch to find me. Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine - which I sank.

Friday:
I hate the bastard Luke more than any human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic, little aerobic instructor. If there is a part of  my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it. Luke wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want any dents in the floor, don't hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.

The treadmill flung me off, and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?

Saturday:
Satan left me a voicemail in his grating shrilly voice wondering why I didn't show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash my phone; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up watching 11 straight hours of The Weather Channel.

Sunday:
I'm having the church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank God that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband will choose a gift for me that's fun - like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!

It's available!

My third book, Tricolor, is a New Adult Romantic Thriller, and it is available now.

It’s the typical problem of can’t-stay-broken-up-with-your-boyfriend-when-his-parents-go-missing. Okay, so it might not be typical but O’Ryan’s lovelife is bumped to the bottom of the priority list when a madman shows up wielding a knife. O’Ryan has to meet his demands or everyone she cares about will be toast. 
The easy answer is to call the police, but it’s a bit much to ask them to protect everyone—the list of people he’s threatened is really long. When her boyfriend’s parents turn up dead, she realizes the man with the knife has to be beat at his own game because giving into his demands will make O’Ryan a criminal too.

You can buy it at
