I know, I know. . .
For all intents and purposes, Britt DeLaney has left the planet. Believe me, Readers, the frustration is probably deeper on my side than yours. You’re only as good as your last book, and mine was damn near 8 months ago. I promised book 3 by September, and here I am, still not ready to release it into the wild. Continue reading
“You do have sheets on your bed, right?
He made a disgruntled face. “What kind of man do you take me for?”
“Sorry. You just can’t imagine some of the bad dates I’ve had.”

It’s Valentine’s Day, and a girl shouldn’t be alone with only Netflix for company. Val gets pulled out to a bar by a friend in need, only to find a hot and friendly bartender who makes her very glad she remembered to wear her matching red lingerie that morning. She’s primed and ready for a steamy night, and Zach more than delivers.

My Once Upon A Time fanfic, Loose Threads, is a continuation of The Memory Keeper series, featuring Killian, Emma, and their two children, Meriel and Finn. In addition, we catch up with a fully-grown Henry, who is about to be crowned the new king of Camelot.
There’s a lot to do in prep for the coronation, and Snow and Regina will settle for nothing less than perfection when it comes to the planning . . .
“I realize this is just pomp and circumstance, but I could do with a bit less of the pomp.” Killian set down his empty wine goblet, unstoppered his flask and poured a healthy dose of rum into it.
“I’ll take some of that,” David said, nudging his own goblet over. “And one thing I’ve learned about Regina – she can never have enough pomp.”
“How bloody long can they argue over the varying shades of crimson and gold?” Killian asked. Continue reading

All it took was an idea, and I got derailed.
I’ve been pounding through the finalization of Earthsinger (at long freaking last) around all the ramp-up publicity for my YA novel, and battling a massive case of writer’s block while I’m at it. Continue reading
“Word’s been going around the dock that you’re looking for a companion, and here I am. Send the rest away, lovey.” She grinned widely, then remembered her missing teeth and closed her lips into a tight smile.

In my Once Upon A Time Fanfic, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, we delve into part 2 of the Memory Keeper series. I wrote this installment early in Season 3 before the big time-traveling finale – imagine my surprise when they did nearly the same thing with the show!
In this fic, young Meriel Jones is the victim of a wicked Generational Curse, courtesy of a really pissed-off demigod. With the help of Rumplestiltskin and a mysterious companion, she has to travel back in time to the Enchanted Forest, where she has to set things right by making sure her parents meet and fall in love. She meets a very different Emma, whose life has been even rougher because of the aftermath of Meriel’s curse.
In this scene, Killian and Emma have their second meeting, and it doesn’t go so well. . . Continue reading
