Let’s however talk Cambion series today…

HAVE NO MERCY

But I’m getting ahead of myself. If you haven’t yet read this young adult paranormal series how about a preview…

EXCERPT

Maggie made a noise that sounded like she was trying to clear her throat to get my attention. My head snapped back to her. I didn’t quite get the message that I saw on her face. Tilting her head at an odd angle, she gestured for me to give my attention to something. I gave her a quizzical look, mouthing ‘What’ until I followed her eyes down to the center of our circle. What I saw chilled me to my very core. I really shouldn’t have come here tonight.

A hand on my arm jolted me. I turned to the offender only to meet Flynn’s gaze. I hated how looking at him always seemed to render me speechless. It was the same effect he had on most girls including me, unfortunately. He was too gorgeous for words and worst yet he knew it. And being a junior and football team captain didn’t help his inflated ego. It had only given him the respect of the seniors above him as well as the rest of the school. His abilities to throw the ball and lead the team to state the past two years had sealed his position as the most popular boy in school. He walked down the halls of school like he owned them and to tell the truth he did. I hated him because of it. Girls were aware of his reputation of breaking hearts yet they continued to throw theirs at him time and time again. But I wasn’t going to fall for his shenanigans. Nope, not me.

“Flynn, she has a choice you know,” a voice came from somewhere beside me. Turning my head, I saw Luke, I-couldn’t-remember-his-last-name. He too, I realized was crush worthy but paled in Flynn’s shadow. It was hard to imagine that looking at him now. He was all golden skin and blond curls, looking much like the perfect California surfer. How had I forgotten he was sitting next to me? Staring at him only made me realize more just how cute he was.

Flynn and Luke were best friends. Yet, I’d hardly paid any attention to Luke these past two years. I’d been too busy ignoring Flynn with the best of my abilities to know much about him. Then the light skirted the horizon of my brain. I had forgotten to count Luke. There weren’t seven of us. Luke made eight. Each pair was a couple except Luke and me. God help us all that I being set up with him?

Dimly, I remembered hearing rumors that he’d broken up with his girlfriend a few weeks ago. But at the moment I couldn’t remember the full story. I was too busy trying to reconcile with how I’d allowed myself to get into this situation. And how I could even be in the same room filled with what most of our classmates dubbed as the wealthiest and most beautiful people of our school, “the elite.” No one else in the school compared to them.

When Flynn’s hand dropped from my arm, I turned my head to fate as it pointed at me. “Come on, what are you going to do?”

I looked up this time to find it had been Amanda who’d spoken. Her voice was filled with disapproval but not with the anger I would have expected if I’d been Flynn’s girlfriend. But that was not how I operated. In fact, I simply didn’t date. I couldn’t even if I wanted to. It wasn’t just a moral decision as most would assume. I did it because I didn’t want anyone to die.

The conclusion to the trilogy…

Caught in a deadly game, all Bailey’s mistakes seem like mere useless moments. If she could to go back in time, would she make the same choices? All these thoughts are hopeless if she doesn’t survive the game where she is a mere pawn.

Kalen is resolute to save Bailey no matter the cost to his bank account or his heart. He’s forced into a partnership with unlikely allies and comes face to face with foes from his past. None of it matters if he loses the woman he loves.

Can love balance the scales of two hearts torn asunder? Equity is the difference between their assets and the liabilities they’ve created.

This installment is told from both POV of Bailey and Kalen.

I meant to announce this last week. A family emergency occurred that derailed my plans.

Sebastian has a story that’s too long to tell within Mercy’s story. I’d given you guys several chapters of the book on Figment. However it’s been pulled from there. No fear, the plan is to offer this book for free for a period of time once published.

For those that read, I’ve expanded the story to give more background and more Sebastian. And of course I hadn’t finished loading all the chapters. There will be much to learn and enjoy.

Details of publishing date to come soon.

Teaser time… If you haven’t already read this in the At Your Mercy (Cambion’s Fan) group on Goodreads… Here it is.

Apparently, ignoring the woman in voluminous red, draped in a bouquet of red roses as if they were a couture dress, was a mistake. A shrill voice erupted from her mouth immediately snapping my attention to her face.

“What a wonderful day for guest.” Her smile was disingenuous as it didn’t reach past her cheekbones. Her dark eyes spoke of more insidious things.

Flynn and I took a step back. We weren’t scared as much as we had no idea of the enemy that stood before us. The women in red with a mop of crimson curls atop her head took a proprietary step towards us. She loomed over us and would have blotted out the sun if there had been a sun in the azure sky.

My neck craned back to stare at the woman that stood before me. Her eyes were golden like fire lit them from inside.

“You absolutely must join me for dinner.”

I found my footing matching Flynn’s as we took another step in the opposite direction.

Her cartoonish smile curved every more, never once meeting her eyes.

In a deeper and sincere voice, she whispered, “You have nothing to fear.” 

HAVE NO MERCY ~ A FUTURE 2014 PUBLICATION

I will have some news about Sebastian either this week or next. Look for it!!!

The greatest gift to an author is a reader. I remember the first review I received on the first book I wrote. I remember being in the kitchen with my family and reading it. And no, I didn’t ask family and friends to write that review. It was by someone I’d never met. I was new to the game and hadn’t asked anyone to read my book at that point. So this first review was pure in the purest form. She bought my book on her own, read it and gave it a five-star review. The review was only a few sentences, but it was priceless to me.

Reviews whether good are bad are important for an author. These reviews let others know that someone read it, thought it was at least good enough to buy. So I’m grateful for all of you who’ve taken the time to write a review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and even Goodreads.

With that said, I’ll never forget that day, nor will I ever forget her, my first reviewer. Isn’t that true of all first?

Anyway, writing is also a solitary experience. It takes a considerable amount of time and then in my case patience from my family. Writing is like planning your wedding day. You spend months working on it and then for the reader, the experience is over in a matter of hours. How do I know? Well, I’m a reader and writer. So I understand the joys of reading a book I’ve waited for and then it’s over far too soon. And I know as a writer just how long it takes to type out all those words even though the story is already written in my head.

This past year for me has been fraught with illnesses freaky in nature for me at least. And a lot of changes like moving and trying to start anew.

I’ve also battled with giving my keyboard the time it needs so I can complete the books that are in my head. This past weekend, I wrote about 10k in words. YAY for me. But the week before…

Things are going slowly, but I hope that each time I put into the written word is quality. And that quality makes up for the lack on quantity. I hope you guys will continue to be patient with me.

Finally, ask and you shall receive has always been my policy. Someone asked me today about Equity, book three in the Balance Sheet series. So here is a teaser.

Also for you Mercy readers, I don’t know if you caught the new cover of Beg for Mercy. Here it is.
