Coming soon: Mirabelle's Ghost by Crymsyn Hart and Anastasia Rabiyah
That's right, Anastasia Rabiyah and I have done it again. We have banded together to create another new compelling story called Mirabelle's Ghost.
It has love, phantasms, sorcery, and so much more.
It's coming soon from Purple Sword Publications.
Mirabelle marries Charles and soon discovers he's a philandering prick, but that's not his only secret. After he leaves her alone in their chateaux to attend to his business affairs, she encounters a ghost hunting game in the woods.
Hunter knows Charles quite well and is happy enough to reveal his old friend's dark side in exchange for Mirabelle's affections.

Cover Reveals
Hey everyone,
I have some kicking new covers that I wanted to share with the world for a couple of books that will be re-releasing with Purple Sword Press in the next coming months.
Ginger Bites will be out on 12/15/2014
Ginger has never really enjoyed Christmas. It reminds her that she’ll always be alone because of her curse. Although she yearns to be with someone, but if she doesn’t click with them right away her hunger grows until her human facade falls away revealing her true self. The guilt of all the innocent lives she’s taken plagues her and this holiday season isn’t looking to be any different. Just once she’d like someone to call her own and feel human.
Zach and Cameron are two werewolves who stumble into Ginger’s bakery to set up a Christmas party for their benefactor. Zach can’t get Ginger from his mind, but in order to be with her he hopes Cameron can get along with her too. If not, then the unthinkable will happen. All the while, Ginger has another suitor who desires to claim her for himself at any cost. Zach and Cameron will do anything to save her because all they want to do is spend Christmas with the woman they love.

November Newsletter
Hello Everyone,I hope that you have all had a safe and Happy Halloween for all those who celebrate.
For everyone who participated in either blog hop I was part of in October, thank you.
Hello to all those who have signed up.
In October I was generously handed back rights to nine of my novels by the publisher. While it was a shock, I am in the works of getting the books back out for everyone to enjoy them. So stay turned on updates about those.
I have finished edits for another book called Follow The Ink: Undertaker Chronicles Book 2. This is a new series I'm exploring about a woman who takes a job as an undertaker's assistant. Here is the blurb for the first one called A Deathly Undertaking.
Darria Savege is an undertaker's assistant. When her boss is killed, she assumes the job of undertaker and all the strange things that goes with it. A necromancer is trying to retrieve an item in her curio cabinet along with the key tattooed into her arm so he can release Medusa and her sister's from limbo.
All the while Darria is learning about her new position, she awakens a mummified hand named Omar who becomes her familiar. She works with a grim reaper named Oliver who collects the souls of the bodies she works on. And she has to do her job all the while trying not to get killed, figure out what the necromancer wants, and how to keep Medusa from escaping into her world.
I do hope you find it as interesting as I do.
The events I'll be at in 2015 are:
MidSouthCon in Memphis, TN from March 20-22.
An Austin Author Affair in Austin, TX May 22-24th
I'm very excited to be a part of these because both will be awesome events.
New Release:
Gods and Mummies, oh my! is now out once more with Purple Sword Publications. So if you haven't gotten your copy feature Kalli and the feral mummies out to get her, check it out. It's fun and a little light reading. Can't be doing horror all the time.
Coming soon:
Come & Yeti - who doesn't love space yetis and bigfoot
Cosmic Shifts ( Hairy & Hung/Come & Yeti) in print
Books:
Last month I tried to read The Red Tree by CaitlÃn R. Kiernan. I made it 80 pages into the book and just couldn't continue reading it. The first person Point of View in this novel was not written in a manner that I could connect with. I'm sure it's fine for other people, but not for me. So I gave it to friend who will love it.
At the moment I'm reading:
Winter's Tale by by Mark Helprin
Prince Lestat by Anne Rice
Throwback Excerpt: Three Fur All
“October, hi. Is everything okay?”
She saw his surprise. “I’m okay. I’m sorry about last night.”
Elliot flashed her a smile. “No apologies needed. You weren’t expecting us to be wolves. At least you didn’t run off in the middle of the night. I expected you might. Not that you wanted to steal Mika’s tiny, beat-up car.” He chuckled. “Are you hungry? Mika’s making waffles downstairs.”
“Yeah.”
She tried to move forward, but stumbled. Elliot caught her. His warm hand on her shoulder made the breath hitch in her throat. His hand traveled down her shoulder and then across her back. She leaned in closer until she stared into his eyes and saw the barriers breaking down around his heart. It was going to be tough to resist those gray eyes of his that looked out from such a kind soul. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body into him. He felt the same way that Mika had. Everything was right being in his arms. October brushed her lips along his and waited for his reaction. He returned the kiss in a slow meeting of their mouths and flicked his tongue across her bottom lip until he pulled away and shook his head.
“We can’t do this.” He tried to put a little bit of space between them, but she didn’t let go of his neck.
“Why?”
“Because you’re Mika’s. I can smell you all over him. You made your choice.”
“No.”
“We can’t have this.”
She placed a hand on his cheek and felt the warmth of his skin seep into her palm. He turned his head into her hand and sighed. “Yes, we can. I never said I was going to pick one of you.”
“It doesn’t work that way among wolves. We choose one mate for life, and that’s it.”
“Hey, October if you’re hungry—”
Elliot and she glanced over. Mika was dressed in jeans and no shirt. Flour was smeared across his chest and his left cheek. It appeared he had made the waffles from scratch. His jaw clenched when he noticed the two of them together. The veins in his neck were bulging. He opened his mouth to respond, when October unwound from Elliot and went to Mika. She slid her arm around his waist and kissed the line of his collarbone. Underneath her hand, his muscles were still rock-hard and wound tight. She flicked her tongue across him, tasting the remnants of the flour on his skin. She stood up on tiptoe and licked the tip of his ear. He quivered and looked between her and Elliot.
She followed his gaze and saw the hair was standing up on Elliot’s arms. His eyes were glowing yellow. He was breathing heavy, and his lips were pulled back in a snarl. His fists were clenched at his side. The testosterone between the two of them was so heavy she could smell it. The fur was about to fly, and she was in the middle of it.
“Whoa! Both of you just need to back off.”
“He had his hands on you,” Mika growled.
She put her hands on her hips. “Now is not the time to get into a fight over me. I might have spent the night with you, but that does not mean that you have the right to claim ownership over me.”
“You said last night—”
“I said no such thing. Both of you stop this. I’m attracted to you and Elliot. Mika, you need to calm that wolf of yours. Both of you, chill.”
