June 30th- over at TEB Blog



Today is my day to write in my publisher Total-E-Bound. My topic- red wolves as part of The Were Chronicles. Here is an example from my post.

As I work on the next books to my series The Were Chronicles I have learned more and more about wolves and the problems we face as they are nearly extinct and what we can do to help.

Weekly Update 6/29/12


Weekly Review 6/29/12

The summer heat is here but that is not the only thing making me sweat. As I continue working on my series The Were Chronicles I have managed to pick up a few books to read over the weekend and have been checking in with what’s been going on with my publisher. Total-E-Bound.

First a reminder that my monthly blog post for Total-E-Bound will be posted on Saturday June 30th. This month I will talk about the research into the red wolves, an almost extinct breed of wolves that once roamed in west Texas. It is also the breed of Gray Mason the main character for book five of The Were Chronicle series and also good friend with Kiley from book four ‘Pack Rogue’.

News from the publisher- lots of exciting new from Total-E-Bound I wanted to share with you. Even though I may not have any releases coming up there is still much to offer you.

New releases- as of 6/25/12

Shades of Grey by Sam Crescent, Natalie Dae

My Spartan Hellion by Nadia Aidan

Robert’s Rancher by Amber Kell

 Saviours of Oestend by Marie Sexton

One Night in a Bar by Louisa Masters 

Redemption by Jambrea Jo Jones





I would also like to mention that the author of the week over at Total-E-Bound is Amber Kell, who excitedly enough, has a release this week. If you have not read any works by her I do urge you to give one of them a try. There are all different characters, genre, and plots. I actually read her before she joined the family her at TEB. I will also put in my two cents that one of my favorite books of hers is Twisted Rose- a mm bdsm book. I strongly suggest her supernatural mate series from TEB also. I have read each one and have enjoyed them all.



So as I bid you all a very good weekend I hope you will drop by the Total-E-Bound (TEB) website a pick up a few books! www.total-e-bound.com.

It's been awhile...

It's been a while.

Hello all. I know it has been a while but hopefully I will be back with you on a full time basis.

Here is an update on what has been going on...

I have been absent due to an illness in the family. On December 31, 2011 my husband went into the hospital with flu like sytoms. Turns out he had an infection that got into his blood stream and went septic. He was put in a coma and on a ventalator. After a few surgeries to take care of the damage the infection caused he was released from the hospital after 89 days.

Yes you read that right it was 89 days he was there.

Sadly the infection caused some problems that we are still dealing with. He is in chronic kidney failure and on dialysis three times a week. Also from the coma he suffered nerve damage and has to walk with assistance.

Heading home was great although it didn't last. Eight days later he went back.

But now the good news... after a month of being home and in an out patient dialysis treatment he is doing much better. Much much better.

That is the reason you had not heard from me.

However, I'm backa nd I would like to say better than other. Many many projects in the works that I am just thrilled to death to be able to work on.

The curent piece is the next book in the Were Chronicles. This week the name was decided on and I choose to go with Pack Community.

In this story we travel with Gray Mason (character from book four- Pack Rogue) as he searched for the feline Prince which was kidnapped at the end of book four.

Gray finds himself in a shifter community in Northwest Texas. He is staying at the inn of a coyote, working with the sheriff who is a black bear,a nd falling for the girl next door.

This girl is no wolf shifter however. Heck she isn't even human. But I think I will let you read the book to find out what she is.

There is a little boy in the story who I just love. I think you will too. Toby is a handfull but I think adds a little bit to the story.

The plot thickens as Gray does actually finds the Prince... however things are not always what they look like. And Gray is in over his head.

The finishing touchs are in the works and once it is picked up you will be the first to know.

Also after Pack community I will edit on the sixth book Pack Life and the Were Chronicles continue. I hope you are as excited as I am to see the series continue.

Thanks for everyone sticking in there. Can't wait to talk with you again.

VAMPIRE HUNTER EXCERPT-
The full moon lit the night, giving the alley an eerie taint that matched Ryland Thomas’ mood perfectly.
He wrapped the shadows around himself as he hunted his prey. Six months he’d been after this monster—following and watching. Tonight he wouldn’t fail. He wouldn’t be one step behind when the evil was released and the monster killed again.The crunch of the gravel echoed loudly around the walls of the alley where the hunted also was hunting.
The woman who stumbled drunk into the trap had no idea what she was about to face—that her night out on the town was about to turn deadly.
Luckily for her, Ryland had spotted her stalker before it was too late.
A crash sounded and he knew the fight was about to begin. The woman on her hands and knees cursed, slurring her words as she tried to pick herself up after tripping over the stinking trash that had been thrown into the dark.
Ryland tensed.
She was in the perfect position to be attacked.She shook her head as if trying to clear the alcohol, mumbling, “How in the hell did I get out here?”
“Fate.” Her answer came from just further into the dark.
“Huh?” She pushed back onto her knees, her voice shaking with fear as she called out. “Is someone there? Hello!”
Ryland shook his head. The woman wasn’t helping herself, becoming an ideal victim.
“Hello, my pretty.” The man stepped out and glided forwards.
“My pretty?” she asked with a laugh. “I really shouldn’t have had that last shot.”
Ryland agreed. Or at least should have had someone to watch out for her. He silently moved forwards until he was almost level with her, pressed into the hard brick, well out of sight.
He couldn’t move in until she was in danger. It was a rule he lived by.
“Mmm.” The old creature licked his lips noisily. “You smell nice.”
The woman actually sniffed herself.
Ryland wanted to groan. She had no sense of self-preservation.
“I smell like a bar,” she told him, pushing herself up and only tilting slightly before standing.
Her attacker just grinned. “My kind of girl,” he agreed, and stepped closer.
“Whatever,” she snorted. “Where are we? How’d I get here?”
“You came to me. I called and you—my sweet—answered.”He was almost close enough to touch her now.
She turned her head in Ryland’s direction and his breath caught. Oh, she was pretty…beautiful, actually. Flawless pale skin, bright green eyes, and full lips that were made for kissing. He let his gaze travel down and noticed for the first time her full, curvy body, covered in tight jeans and a skimpy black silk top.His body reacted instantly and he mentally cursed himself. He couldn’t fight with a raging hard-on.
He took deep breaths to calm himself, years of training the only thing saving him from giving himself away.
She turned her head back towards the man in the alley with her and Ryland was able to control himself again. “Okay.” She waved a hand around. “Obviously I got lost on the way to my car. I’ll just be going now.”She turned, tripping over her own feet, and as she went down once again her attacker charged.
Ryland rushed forwards only to hear a scream of pain that was much too male to have come from the woman. He threw himself back against the wall before he was seen.
The attacker had jumped back several feet away from the woman. The scent of blood saturated the air.
I hope you enjoyed that small taste of Vampire Hunter and it leave you thirsty for more!
