He tried to take it slow, to prolong it and drown in every scalding,
shuddering second of sensation, but his body – and hers – were fighting that.

Windsinger Is Coming Soon – Here’s Another Tease!
The first installment in The Elemental Destiny series, Windsinger, is the story of Cecy – a girl who’s half-human, and half elemental, ancient, immortal creatures who embody the elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Being part air elemental gives her certain powers, but even among the Twixters (those who are half-human and half-elemental) she is gifted. When she finds herself strangely attracted to a human man, it complicates things.
In this scene, Brad is doing his best to get to know her, but she’s not telling him much of anything… Continue reading

All Right Amazon….You Have My Full Attention
Last month was the big experiment.
I have been publishing my novels and novellas on both Amazon and Smashwords from the beginning, which of course excluded them from being part of the Amazon Kindle Select program (which demands exclusivity).
In July, Amazon changed its royalty structure (to great public outcry) and I watched the debate on both sides, weighed the pros and cons, and made the decision to take all my full-length novels to the Kindle Select program as an experiment, just to see if it was worth it to me. Smashwords hadn’t been terribly lucrative for me (despite its feedout to iTunes and B&N) and many authors said that the royalties they were getting off KDP were some of the most lucrative parts of their Amazon sales.
So the figures are in for July, and….yeah. Amazon is unfortunately the place to be for me.

She picked up her glass, clinking it to his, trying in vain to tell
herself that it was the wine making her feel warm all over.

Eight Nights At Sea Is Now Available In Paperback! Check It Out! #romance #fantasy #goodreads
It’s finally here! And I’m holding it in my hot little hand!
Seriously, it’s about a thousand degrees outside and my A/C is broken, so my hand is hot. Very hot.
But not as hot as this book! If you like pirates – sexy, sarcastic pirates, and sensuous girls with a serious secret, if you like families that stick together and magical creatures and dastardly villains, if you like romance and heartache and sex so steamy the sheets melt off the bed, then this book is for you.
And if you like the old school feel of paper in your hands, your (pirate) ship has come in.
You can order your paperback copy of “Eight Nights At Sea” via Createspace, for now, but it should be appearing on Amazon within the next 24 hours or so.
Meanwhile, I’m I’ve completed Windsinger and it’s edit time! Not long now…and you’re going to love it! Back to work for me!
What Happens When You Meet A Windsinger? Here’s A Glimpse: #amwriting #writing
“You want to know me?” Cecy asked.
“Yes. Very much.”
The sun was nearly all the way down now, and the shadows had deepened into all-out darkness in places. The stars were beginning to emerge faintly in the sky.
“Then listen,” she said simply. And then she crossed her legs and gracefully sank down right at the edge of the butte, looking out over the desert. Continue reading
Another Big List Of Fabulous Writer Resources – Let’s Talk eBooks #amwriting #writing
Okay, so you’ve written (or are writing) this great book, but you have no idea how to format it, put a cover on it, and publish it. Here’s a short list of stuff I use regularly or have found helpful:
Formatting
I’m going to take you right to this great blog post because it offers you the template downloads (MS Word) that you need, plus complete instructions for use. These are set as Smashwords templates, but with some minor revision (as in, changing “Smashwords” to “Kindle” anywhere it appears) it easily alters to a Kindle template as well.
I chose Arial templates but I now only use Garamond templates, since I’ve started taking my books into print as well as eBook. Createspace (print on demand) primarily uses Garamond (and it looks better in print) so it’s just easier when I’m ready to convert. Continue reading
“Windsinger” Is Coming Along Nicely! Would You Like Another Peek?? #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #books
In my upcoming novel, Windsinger, we meet Cecy, who is half-elemental, and in her case, the element is air. She flits from place to place and dances on the breeze, but unlike her other Twixter counterparts (those who are also half-elemental), she has a special ability beyond her lightness of foot.
That ability brings her to meet Brad Wilder, a human man who’s captured her attention and has her seriously intrigued. In this scene, Cecy comes upon another Twixter in an unxpected way, all while trying to reason through her attraction to Brad… Continue reading
