Tidbit Tuesday: Manni Makes Her Move
In the beginning of Earthsinger, we take the volatile Matt and our ballsy girl Manni, and we stuff them into a truck for a long road trip. By the end of the first day, Matt is ready to throw in the towel, that is, until Manni makes her move… Continue reading
Tidbit Tuesday:
In this scene, Manni and Matt have a Come-To-Jesus talk after he experiences an elemental interaction firsthand…
“What the hell just happened?” Matt asked, turning in a slow circle. His hands were cupping his ears which were still ringing in the aftermath.
“You just met an Original,” Manni said, dusting the front of her pants. “And that one was the queen mother of them all.”
“An original what?” He demanded. “What the hell is going on here? Is she…” He shook his head, as if trying to talk himself out of it, then forged ahead. “Is she a space alien? Or what?”
“Or what,” Manni answered in a deadpan. “I know it won’t do any good to tell you it’s not what it looks like. You’re in the middle of this, and it’s going to take longer than we have right now to explain. If you want to live, you’re going to have to trust me and not get freaked out.”

The poor man probably had no idea why she’d freaked out on him…
It’s not like she could just say “Oh, sorry, I’m a
little on edge since they hired my arch-enemy.”

She shook her head wildly, but it was no use…
The orderly held her down gently as the the nurse

Book Excerpt Tuesday: Earthsinger Begins With A Bang
In the third book of the Elemental Destinies, Earthsinger, we meet up once again with Manni, who is traveling cross-country with Matt – a former MMA fighter who’s unwittingly mixed up in a global mystery.
Manni is there to keep him out of harm’s way until they can figure out what part his father had in the story that’s been slowly unraveling through Windsinger and then again in Seasinger.
Matt isn’t your average muscle-bound lunkhead, and Manni is far from just another pretty face. After too many hours on the road, tempers ignite, but there’s more simmering than just a little road rage… Continue reading
Get Your #FREE Copy Of WINDSINGER!
I’m wrapping up the final edits of Earthsinger, and the cover reveal is coming soon! In the meantime, you can go back to where the series began with a FREE copy of Windsinger today and tomorrow only!!
Meet the Elementals – a magical race that inhabits our world embodying the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. Cecy is a “Twixter,” the half-human offspring of an air elemental, who doesn’t always fit in with the rest of our world.
In addition to her magical heritage, Cecy bears another gift, one which will lead her to Brad, a scientist who is studying a very strange phenomenon – one that might signal a far deeper problem and a danger to life as we know it.
Together, they stumble upon a mystery that affects them both, and discover that playing it safe means nothing when love and desire are in the air.
A Little Bit Here…A Little Bit There…
It’s not easy writing two very different books at essentially the same time.
See, I thought I had this all planned out. Considering the deadline for my first YA book that the publisher gave me, I assumed the follow-up book in the series would be on roughly the same rollout, giving me a few months after final edits on book one to refine book two before submission.
Nope.
They pushed the schedule up by three months from where I expected it to be, and whoosh! There went the time I’d planned to use on finishing up Earthsinger and getting a head start on Firesinger.
Crap. Continue reading
I Am A Bad Author. Bad. I Am Bad.
I have spent the last 30 days under major serious deadline pressure. And now….it just got worse. Some things have collided professionally, and I find myself without enough hours in a day (or cells in my brain) to get all the writing done that needs to be done. I spent almost all of Memorial Day weekend looking like that picture above.
Okay, that’s a lie. I looked more like this:
But I made headway, and that’s a start. The long and short of all this is….Earthsinger is going to have to get pushed back. I had hoped for a mid-June break on that book, but it’s now looking to be late July.
Readers, I apologize.
