I'm sorry for the long hiatus. In October of 2017 I fell ill and shortly after Christmas of that year I had to have surgery. For the next 5 months I struggled with my health. I'm still struggling with my health and I am sad to say that my writing has suffered greatly. Once again I apologize for the long hiatus.
I have been free writing lately because I got out of the habit of writing while I've been sick. I do plan on revisiting the two different book series I have already published and continuing them. It may take a bit but I refuse to give up on my writing.
A lot of things have changed in the last year or so. I left my job of 6/7 years. I couldn't walk into my place of work without having an anxiety attack. I have always had depression and anxiety but since my surgery in 2017 it has gotten exponentially worse. But since I left my job I haven't had nearly as many anxiety attacks. I've only had to take my meds twice in the week since I quit.
In this week I realized how much I had given up for a job that didn't appreciate me or cared about me. I was disposable. I let my job rule my life for the last couple of years and it has greatly effected me. Now I cant wait to dive back into the things I love and have so dearly missed. I cant wait to feel the dirt in my hands as I garden, or write my fantasies on paper and share with all of you.
I hope all of you are patient with me on my journey back to being me. I know I have changed just in this last week and I honestly can't wait to see what the future holds for me.

Prompt #1 Part 4
Well, this is the long awaited update to my writing challenge. I'm sorry for the delays in everything, life has been really busy for me. I might even come up with a title for this... one day. Anyway, here is the next installment. It's only taken me f*cking forever.
Part 4
She forgot about the envelope as the day progressed. It wasn’t until her shift was over that she even remembered that she had stuffed it in her apron. She pulled it out of her pocket and looked at it. Her name was written on the front in beautiful cursive lettering. She tucked it into her jacket pocket as she left the diner.
A shiver went down her spine as she walked to her car. She felt like someone was watching her but she didn't see anyone. She unlocked her car door and climbed in. She couldn't shake the eerie feeling of being watched. She buckled her seat belt and drove home.
It was only a few minutes but those few minutes felt like an eternity. She ran from her to car into her apartment building. She looked outside and saw someone standing just inches from the glass door that separated them. She froze as fear spread through her. She couldn't see his face but his presence terrified her.
She slowly backed away from the door. She turned on her heel and fled up the stairs, not stopping until she was safely inside her apartment.
Billy watched her curiously from the couch. "Everything ok?"
She slid down the door and started to cry. "No. I've had this feeling of being watched since I left work. When I got inside some guy was standing outside watching me. When I saw him I froze. It was like I was looking at death. I've never been so scared."
Billy picked her up off the floor and took her to the couch. He sat down and tucked her against his chest. "Everything will be alright." He pulled off one of her shoes and threw it at the closet door. "Gladius get your ass out here."
The apartment door flew open and Gladius walked in. "I wasn't in the closet. I actually know how to use a regular door." He looked at them in disgust. "What's wrong with your little pet?"
"Someone followed her home from work and scared her," he said, tucking hair behind her ear. He leaned back and settled her beside him. "Do you think you can go take a look?"
Gladius shook his head. "I just came in from outside. I didn't sense anyone other than humans and the paras that live in this building."
Billy looked at him curiously. Usually Gladius didn't bother with coming in the front door. "You've never used the front door before/ Why now?"
Gladius' perfect cupid's bow mouth turned down. "I was trying to take into consideration your new little pet. I didn't want to walk in and unexpectedly find her naked. It is one thing to find you naked, quite another to find her naked."
"Why would you think you'd find her naked?"
A slender brow arched up. "As if you haven't seen her in all her naked glory. You lived under her bed for how long?"
Billy's face grew warm and he slightly choked as he tried to come up with an answer.
Carly pulled away from Billy her face bright red as she remembered all the things that she had done before knowing she had a roommate. Thoughts of her 'celebratory' night came to mind. Her blush deepened even more but a simmering heat started between her legs.
She watched as he argued with Gladius, noticing small little details that she hadn't noticed before. like how his shirt stretched taut across his shoulders and chest, and how his jeans cupped his ass just so nicely.
She glanced away before she got caught checking him out. She really needed some alone time with her wonderful little rabbit that she had dubbed Fernando. Or she needed to get a boyfriend. She'll go with option one. But where?
She snorted. Obviously not the bed. That was completely and utterly out. She was a lady, at least she tried to be anyway. The shower? Fernando wasn't waterproof but they did have a detachable shower head. She looked up as she noticed the complete silence in the room. "What?"
Gladius smirked and tittered before turning away. Billy just looked at her, nostrils flaring. "I said, do you want take out?"
Gladius started choking and coughing. Billy growled and whacked him on the back bringing Gladius' fit to an end.
"Uh, sure. How about Chinese? There's a place around the corner that has some really good sushi," she answered. There was definitely something going on as Gladius broke out in another coughing fit. Billy smiled but it was forced and he whacked Gladius on the back again.
She stood up and grabbed her favorite set of pajamas. "I think I'm going to take a shower. Just call the place and ask for my usual plus whatever you want."
Billy watched her as she crossed the room, almost groaning as she grabbed the set of pink pants and tank top. She had no clue to the turmoil she was causing him. He knew she only wore that set after she had 'fun'. She was going to be the death of him. Right after he killed his best friend as Gladius started having another coughing fit.

Dark Things
I stopped using this blog a few months ago to switch over to Wordpress. I've talked about this before. I missed all of you. But there is another blog that I have abandoned for much longer that this one.
It was the blog were I let all my darkness seep out into and I left it behind so long ago. I think it's time to bring it back to life. I haven't touch it since November of last year and seeing the dust on it while the darkness swirls inside makes me want to cry.
So starting next week I'll slowly be resurrecting My Zombieverse. I won't be posting on there as regularly as I will be on here but I'm thinking that once the darkness begins to rise again then things will right themselves.
Most of the posts on there circle around Halloween but it's how my blog was before then that I want to get back to. The zombies. That's right. I, a romance author, loves zombies. Reading, movies, makeup, games. I love zombies. I have so many ideas for zombie stories but it doesn't fit within my writing parameters. Another reason for my writing challenge. I want to send my writing to the darkest parts of the horror realm and see what I can do.
Will I lose some readers? Maybe. But then I'll also gain readers who like the darkness spewing from within me. Will I mix my romance roots with the darkness that I'll be stepping into? Most likely. But I am trying to push my boundaries and see what I can do. If I publish anything that comes from my dark writing challenge I'll probably do so under a different pen name.
Yes, I use a pen name. I'm surprised if you haven't figured it out. Why do I use a pen name? I felt that I needed a fresh start. My original works were not something to be applauded. The concept of the stories were great but ultimately I felt that they were not what I wanted to present to my readers. So my pen name came about.
Now that I have gotten off track I'm going to say that if ya'll want to check out Zombieverse then please do. I'll be doing my dark writing challenge over on there so please keep an eye out for any updates (I'll mention them on here and Wordpress).
