Tuesday Teaser

Tuesday Teaser!!

Today's teaser comes from the story that I am currently working on, Blood Moon, Book two in the Love and Blood Series. Since I am working on this through #NaNoWriMo the story is getting done quickly. I haven't had a chance to really do any editing so please bear with me. On another note you also get to see the new cover. So, you get a teaser and a cover reveal all wrapped into one.

Anyway, here it is the second part the the story that many of you have loved.

Enjoy!!

“You need to sleep, Dominick.” I laugh as he nuzzles his face against the back of my neck. “It’s going to be night soon and you’ll be tired when you have to leave.”

“I’ll be fine.” He insists.

I sigh softly while reaching my hand up to stroke my fingers through Nix’s hair beside me.

He was sound asleep along with Kane.

“I’m kind of jealous of the connection that you have with him.” Dominick states softly as he pushes himself up to look over my shoulder.

“There’s no reason to be jealous.” I insist. “Our connection goes so much deeper.”

“Yes, it does but it doesn’t compare to what you have with him.” Dominick argues lightly.

“Either way I still love you both equally.” I reply as I turn to look up at Dominick. “I love you, I love Kane, and I love Nix. Each of you has a part of my heart.”

“You should tell them that. Nix needs to hear you say those words to him.” Dom stresses.

“I will when the time is right.” I reply with a soft sigh.

A moment of silence passes by as Dominick tenderly touches my cheek.

He sighs. “I don’t want to leave you.”

“I don’t want you to go either.” I reply.

“We won’t be gone long.” He promises. “The last war that I fought with the humans didn’t last long. The humans always severely underestimate what we’re capable of.”

“All it takes is a good show of force and they’ll retreat.” He adds confidently.

“After what my father did to me do you really believe that it will still be that easy?” I question.

“I don’t know, but at least we know what we’re up against.” He replies.

He had a point. They weren’t going into this fight blindly but there was no telling what other secrets that my father had that could be used against a supernatural army.

I couldn’t help but fear that I would lose one of them in this battle.

“You’re not going to lose anyone.” Dominick replies before glancing at Kane and Nix. “I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe for you.”

“Make sure you keep Nick safe for Tinsley too.” I reply.

He nods. “I was already planning to do that.”

Without warning Nix turns on his side before reaching out for me. He pulls me away from Dominick and snuggly against his body.

I laugh lightly as he begins purring.

Dominick shakes his head in amusement. “What are we going to do with both a dog and cat?”

I shrug while grinning. “I don’t know but we’ve already given them a home. They’re ours now no matter what happens.”

He snorts. “You are prefect.”

After a moment I pat the bed beside me. “Sleep, Dom.”

He nods and then lies down before closing his eyes. I watch him as his chest stops rising and falling as he quickly falls into a deep sleep.

Moments later I close my eyes before the darkness of sleep pulls me into its depths.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

A day to be grateful, a day to be giving, and a day to be merry. Thanksgiving is a wonderful day to spend with family if you're fortunate to be close to them. It's also a great day to invite a stranger to enjoy a warm meal. It's a day to make new friends and to reunite with old ones.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year and this year I am grateful for many things.

First of all, I am thankful for my father. He was diagnosed with cancer this past August, which is why I've been absent a good bit on this blog. I'm grateful to have him with me this Thanksgiving. After a long surgery and months of recovery, with a lot of huge bumps along the way, he is cancer free. I'm grateful for every doctor and nurse that helped with his recovery.

This Thanksgiving I'll be sending prayers for those who are suffering, for those who haven't been as fortunate. Cancer is a terrible thing and until now I hadn't fully realized the toll it took on the person affected and their family. For that I am grateful to have learned from this experience. My heart goes out to those who suffer alone. My father was blessed to be surrounded by a strong family.

Secondly, I am grateful for my own small family. My husband who has stood by me through thick and thin, and who has loved me nonstop, even on my crazy days. He's my biggest supporter when it comes to my writing career and for that I can never repay him. No matter what he keeps me going, even when I want to stop. He's my light on my darkest days.

My daughters have also been my biggest fans. My oldest can't wait to grow up to be a writer, 'just like mommy'. I couldn't be prouder of them and I'm thankful for the opportunity to be able to be a stay-at-home-mom so I can see them grow into the amazing little ladies that they are today.

Now, I could go on and on with my list of things that I'm thankful for, but I'll end with one last thing that I'm beyond grateful for.

I'm grateful for you, my readers, my fans. Without you I wouldn't be where I am today, following my lifelong dream to become an author. You keep me going and I will never be able to thank you enough.

I hope each and everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Whether it's with family around a table or holding a loved ones hand in a small room I hope no one feels alone. Reach out and embrace someone today, they might need it.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Monthly Update - November

Monthly Update

Wow, I didn't realize how far behind I've gotten. (My last update was for August.) There's been so much going on these last few months. Even though I haven't had much free time I've been working hard and I'm happy to say that I've finished a few projects that I have been working on.

One of my projects has been an ongoing one that I just couldn't get right. I've rewrote the story three times and I'm finally relieved to say that this rewrite was the charm. The story is exactly how I want it now. Plans for the release will be early next year.

And that brings me to my next little announcement. Since November is coming to an end and the holidays are going to be in full swing I won't be releasing anything until the new year. I'm hoping to have several releases set up and ready to go though. I'll post the list of expected releases for next year hopefully by the end of December.

For the time being I'm going to be working hard to get more books written. I have a few series that need to be wrapped up so I'll be working on those first.

Other than that I don't have much to report on. I'm making progress and that's what matters most.

Happy Writing!!
