Gambler’s Folly–Coming Soon

Posted in Fiction books, tagged , , , , , on March 13, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Black and whiteI know I haven’t sent anything out lately. My husband, Steve, finally had some time home, so we were catching up on some around the house projects which needed his expertise.

The good new is, I’ve finished my final draft of Gambler’s Folly.  Rather than self-publishing this time, I’m looking for a publisher who’ll take it on.  At 86,351 words (computer count, or 106,000 for print) it is a good sized novel–romantic paranormal fantasy.

Gambler’s Folly tells the story of Karianna, who’s  husband, Trae, loses her in a card game–to the most powerful underworld syndicate boss, on the planet  Gambler’s Folly.  Their marriage dissolved, Trae murdered, she finds she is  married to Damiano Leone, who brings her into  his life of wealth, glamour  and danger.

I’ll keep you posted on it’s publication.  But in the meantime, why not check out Jareth: First Lord?

There’s Still Time

Posted in Fiction books, tagged , , , , on December 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Jareth: First Lord for Kindle  is still on sale at Amazon.com, so if you don’t have your copy yet, there’s still time.  In the meantime, one of our local books stores has agreed to display Jareth: First Lord in paperback, here in Commerce, GA. So if you’re local, go check it out.

I’m editing the sequel to Jareth now and hope to have it ready for next summer. I’m also writing a first draft of a new fantasy fiction novel, as well as the story of my battle with breast cancer. So keep checking back to see when these will be available.

I’m also an expert writer at Ezines.com, so for helpful tips for the holiday, go check out my articles.

Wishing you all happy and safe holidays,

A Hint of Winter

Posted in Fiction books, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »

With the temperatures the past couple of days, winter is definitely thinking about making an appearance. Of course my cats, Squeak and Fogg, would tell you it is already here. But then they love to just soak up the warmth from the fire.

We actually built our first  fire last evening. After daytime temperatures in the 70’s three days ago dropping to highs in the 50’s, the change is quite a shock to the system. The dog (alright the small 105 pound pony)  is trying to convince me that he would be just fine in the house. No, he really wouldn’t chase the cats. Honest. Well, not much….

So I think it’s time to settle comfortably into the office chair, with a cup of steaming tea, and see what’s happening with my latest cast of characters on Gambler’s  Folly, Damiano and Karianna.

Good-bye for now. Get yourself a cuppa and a good book. Why not try Jareth: First Lord?

Jareth: First Lord–Talents?

Posted in Fiction books, tagged , , , , , , , on October 22, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I’ve had some questions about Jareth and the Talents. What are the Talents and where do they come from? If you read the prologue, you read that Esperance was discovered by remote-viewing, the ability to view distant places psychically. This is one of the Talents the First Lords develop as descendants of the Seekers.

But what are the Talents? They can include nearly anything. A master musician who can sway an audience with his performance can be a Talent. An energy healer is a Talent. Anyone who seems to more connected to his or her craft than is normal could be a Talent.

Some of the Talents are empaths, who can tune into someone else’s emotions. Some are telepaths, who either read the thoughts of others, can send thoughts to others, or who can do both.

Usually, Wild Talents have only one enhanced ability. The First Lords on the other hand, since they are the closest descendants of the Seekers, have abilities in many areas which have been exercised and trained since childhood. This is what gives them the insight and strength to rule their clans.

But for more information on the Talents, watch for the debut of the second book in the series, Viviane: First Lady. This book begins with Jareth and Viviane’s marriage and continues through discovering and training her Talents.

Hope this helps those of you who are confused.

If you’ve not read Jareth: First Lord, it is available at:

Now available on Amazon in Paperback

Posted in Fiction books, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on October 8, 2012| 2 Comments »

Jareth: First Lord is now available on Amazon.com in paperback.  If you’re like quite a few other people I know, who don’t have a Kindle and don’t like to read on the computer screen, here’s your chance.

On the world of Esperance, First Lord Jareth has had his fair share of troubles. Now two years after the death of his First Lady, in the grip of a cold, harsh winter, he is besieged by thefts from a neighboring clan. Traveling to confront First Lord Herrick, he demands repayment and penalties, including the Choosing as is his right. Captivated by a black-haired beauty, he takes her back as part of the spoils, not realizing she is Lord Herrick’s youngest daughter. Will he be able to win her heart and make her First Lady of his clan? Or will keeping her in Clan Brannach start a war between the two clans?

The Kindle version has been doing wonderfully during the past couple of months.  I have high hopes for the paperback version as well.

So if you’re looking for something to read, give Jareth a chance.  Now that volume 1 is published, I should get busy and finish volume 2, Viviane: First Lady.
