“Hey, sexy, can I help you with something?”

She looked at the man that had spoken. He was slightly overweight, had started balding, and reeked of alcohol; it was 11 am. “Yeah, can you tell Jaxon and Jason that I’m here?”

He stepped closer and invaded her personal space. “Why do you want them, sweet thang? Don’t you want a real man?”

“I already have two real men in my life. Why would I want you?” She growled softly.

The man’s face turned red and he crowded her even more. “Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to?”

“Obviously I’m talking to a womanizing bastard,” she snarled.

“Scott! What the fucking hell are you doing?” shouted a man that walked up.

“This bitch is looking for Jax and Jase,” Scott said.

“I suggest you apologize and get the hell away from her,” the man said.

“What’s she gonna do if I don’t?” Scott asked snidely.

“She’s not going to do anything but the two angry men headed this way might just kill you for insulting their girl,” the man replied.

Scott looked over his shoulder and saw Jaxon and Jason headed towards them and sneered. He looked back at Carman. “Don’t worry, bitch, we’ll finish this later.” He walked off before the twins reached them.

“Everything okay, Arius?” Jaxon asked as he walked up. Jason was staring at Scott’s retreating back with a look of barely controlled fury.

“Just Scott’s drunk ass being his usual.” Arius held out his hand. “It’s nice meeting you. I’m just sad it was under these circumstances.”

Carman shook his hand. “It’s nice meeting you too. My name’s Carman.”

He smiled at her. “I know. These two talk about you nonstop. Personally, it drives us unmated males insane.” He turned as someone called his name. “Well, I have to get back to the grindstone. Once again, it was very nice meeting you, Carman.” He turned and walked away.

“What brings you out here?” Jaxon asked.

“I found your lunch boxes on the kitchen counter and figured I’d just come have lunch with you. If that’s okay with you two,” she said smiling.

They grinned at her. “Aren’t you just sweet?” Jason said, pulling her into a hug.

She cuddled into him. “I could always go back home and have lunch with someone else.”

Jaxon pulled her from Jason’s embrace and hugged her. “We could go eat at Bixby’s.”

“We could do that.” She kissed him on the chin and cuddled into him.

“Why does he get kisses and I don’t?” Jason huffed.

“Because I’m not nice,” she said chuckling.

“No, she’s sweet,” Jaxon said, grinning.

“No I’m not.”

He chuckled. “Oh, I’m sure you honey pot is very sweet.”

She pulled away and hit him in the chest. “Perv.”

Sneak Peek #2

Hello! I know it's been a while since I've posted. But I have another sneak peek for you! Spy's Temptation is available for pre-order. If you haven't ordered your copy yet you can find it here: https://goo.gl/WdzsxA 

Some of you may already know this but Spy's Temptation releases on my birthday. Cliche? Probably. But it gives me a reason to have double the celebration. I've had one other sneak peek show up in my media sites. So I propose a search. The first person to tell me what the sneak peek was, will receive a prize of a free copy of Spy's Temptation on release day along with a special secret prize. Once you have found the mystery sneak peek, message me on the social media site.

Sneak Peek

“Who’s Ashlynne?” Carman asked.

“She’s one of our clan members. Her husband died a couple years ago in a car accident, leaving her a single parent with three cubs. We’ve helped out whenever we could and whenever she let us. Thankfully, her mother-in-law lives in town and helps her out,” Jason explained.

“It’s really nice of you to help her out.”

“That’s part of being in the clan. We help each other out. Kind of like a giant family.”

“Though sometimes it’s hard to be family when those two keep refusing to listen to us about the indignant workers that are threatening them,” Grant growled.

“Someone’s threatening you?” she asked, anger creeping into her voice.

“We’ve been trying to find alternate employment for our employees but there are more employees than jobs. A lot of them are angry that the mine is closing but we’ve dug for the last year and have come across nothing but dirt. Yes, we’ve gotten threats but most of those threats are from the men who worked with our grandfather and have known us our entire lives. The most that they are threatening us with is turning us over their knee and taking a switch to our behind.”

Jaxon stood up and began clearing away the empty pizza boxes. “How about we pop some popcorn and watch a movie? Then we’ll escort you to your room and kiss you goodnight.”

Carman smiled and nodded her agreement.

“See we can be gentlemen, unlike what our sister says,” Jason said.

Grant snorted as he ate the last of his pizza. “No hanky panky in the livingroom. The rest of us spend time in there and I really don’t want to explain to Ashlynne why there are ass prints on the coffee table.”

Jason growled at Grant. “As if we would put our precious on display for anyone to possibly walk by and see.”

Grant laughed at Jason look of indignation. “Obviously, you haven’t stopped by the office at Leo Construction. Those three put a sign on Charise’s desk that they are unavailable but you get the drift before you even walk through the office door.”

Both Jaxon and Jason gagged. They knew their baby sister had sex it didn’t mean they wanted to talk about it.

Sneak Peek of Spy's Temptation #1

As some of you know Spy's Temptation is available for pre-order. If you haven't ordered your copy yet you can find it here: https://goo.gl/WdzsxA

Now for what you really came for. A sneak peak of the newest chapter of the Millersburg Shifters series.

Spy's Temptation Sneak Peak:

Carman sighed as she stuffed her phone in her bag. She frowned as she remembered the phone call she had gotten from her father begging her to come and work as a stand in until this clan could find a permanent healer.

Healer… huh… Why they were called that she had no clue. All she did was become a RN specializing in shifters. It wasn’t like she used some magical powers to heal anyone. She knew about natural medicines and what manufactured medicines cause adverse effects in shifters.

Why did she agree to come here? The weather changed faster than she changed her panties, well if she wore any. It didn’t help that the constant weather fluctuations were wreaking havoc on her mood. If only there was someone to put a smile on her face.

She looked out the window and saw three men standing together. Hello, sexy duo. She wouldn’t mind being the filling to their smexy sandwich. She shifted in her seat as heat flooded her nether regions.

She didn’t usually go for the buff, rugged type but they drew her like a moth to a flame. They dwarfed the man they were talking to by at least six inches and were almost as twice as wide. Their features and size were identical but that’s where the similarities ended. One had a full sleeve tat while the other didn’t have any visible ones.

If only the man she was meeting would hurry the hell up and she could go out and grab their digits and maybe get a couple handfuls later tonight. She would rather spend her time here nibbling on them than catering to an overbearing alpha.

She watched as the three men parted and the shorter man walked into Cutie’s Cupcakes. He waved to the woman behind the counter before walking over to her.

“Carman Carter?” he asked. His voice was deep and gruff, reminding her of her father. His features were masculine but didn’t draw her like the two men that had been outside with him.

She held out her hand. “Yes. You must be the Beta, Grant.”

He grasped her hand and gave it a quick shake before sitting down across from her. “I’m sorry that the Alphas couldn’t come with me to meet you. They had something come up that needed their attention.”

“Alphas? I didn’t realize that this clan’s leader was mated,” she said. Her father hadn’t really told her a whole lot about this clan and now she wished she had asked more questions.

He chuckled. “No. The Northern Clan is ruled by a pair of twins. Jason and Jaxon have been our Alphas for a few years now. That was them with me outside.”

Holy shit… The men that were lickably delicious were the alphas and she had to work for them. Thank gawd she didn’t have to worry about workplace integrity because she would fail. Miserably.

Millersburg Book 3

This year has been a major trial. I'm sure some of you can agree with me. I am sad to say that my next book will not make it into the world while it is still 2016 but 2017 will be seeing a few changes and hopefully a few more releases. I wish you all the best and onto what I'm sure all of you have been coming back to find out about. Unless you only come for the prompt story then I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I have a sneak peek for you all at what is coming out. I can't really say it's a sneak peek, more like a teaser. Once again my cover artist did an amazing job.

Release Date: TBA

Blurb:
Carmen Carter never intended to come to Millersburg much less Indiana but when he father asks a favor of her, she's there. Though once she gets a view of Jason and Jaxon Miller she doesn't have a problem being there. She wouldn't mind spending some time with them as the filling to their sandwich. She soon learns that the twin hunks of alphaness are her mates but when she's threatened by a rival alpha things change.

As they begin to learn about each other, threats continue to try and pull them apart. The evil lurking in the shadows of Millersburg becomes more apparent. When the twins nearly lose their mate to the evil, a pair of rampaging bears are determined to keep her safe.

I'm Back

Hi everybody! I'm back from the black pool of nothingness. I would have been back sooner but I caught cold. I have been somewhat working on my current book. Between having a cold, issues at work, and prepping for the second biggest day of my best friends life, things have been slightly hectic.

I am not sure when I will be finished with my current project due to how much I am packing into it, but I can say this will be longer than the first two book of the Millersburg series. Once that is done I will be starting on another project right away. It sucks being behind schedule. But hey it is what it is. I am hoping to have the next installment for my writing challenge done sometime next week or sooner. I may even give it a title.

I now have an Instagram account, alicefrost2013. I've been active on there. Mostly inspirational pics.

I know it's the middle of August but I feel like the end of the year is approaching too quickly. I turned another year older not long ago (the 13th) and I don't feel like I should have had my birthday yet. It's insane. So there is my quick update for today!

Quick Update

Sorry I haven't updated with the next prompt challenge (on either blog) but I became engrossed in my work. I have been working on the third installment of the Millersburg Shifters series, Spy's Temptation. I do not know how long this book will be seeing as there is a lot I want to see go into this one. So I have a very shaky release date. It's more like 'I hope I'm done by this date'.

I have been asked if I will release all three books in a bundle pack and I will be. But before I do I am going to be going through the first two and fine tuning them just a bit before putting them in the bundle. Nothing major (I think).

I do have a couple of stories I would like to see make it onto your electronic devices but that all depends on my schedule and work *cough* procrastination *cough* level. Though I do have a bonus coming this week. My son is starting school which means I have my days off to do whatever I need to to get done with my work load.

Also, I am wishing my momma a Happy Birthday today. She turned another year older and had a great day of just relaxing. I can't wait for next month when I get a weekend of just relaxing on my birthday, no child, no work (main job), and just me and my computer. Ah, fun times to come.

Write drunk; edit sober.

- Ernest Hemingway

I hope you all have an awesome week. Since this is my Friday I'll be sleeping in for the next two days for the last time until school break. *cries* But as a single mom I am rejoicing at the fact that it is back to school time.

Species Compilation of Trinity Mates

This is my compile of all the different species we come across in Book 1 of the Trinity Mates.

Freorian, Hydrakian, Draconian - Human in appearance, the closer to the original blood line they are the more dragon like abilities they possess. Their height can range anywhere from 5' to 7' tall, mainly between 5' and 6' 6'' tall. Their life expectancy can span centuries. All three species are at war with each other.

Terran - Terrans are human in appearance and physiology. The main difference between the two are that Terrans live much longer than humans. They normally extend their lives even more by exchanging biological body parts for cybernetic ones.

Criptian - Small mammalian beings who are very intelligent. Their features can range from those of a mouse to those of a raccoon. All are no taller than 4' and they are the natural prey to the Kartorians.

Kartorian - Lizard like beings that stand anywhere from 6' tall to 9' tall depending on age and gender. The smaller the Kartorian to weaker they are considered. Most leave their home planet due to the harassment of the larger Kartorian. They are a hostile and violent race known to cause mayhem where ever they go. Males are usually smaller than the females. An off world male Kartorian never breeds with a female of his own race. He usually kidnaps a female from any human like race.

Grenicks - Small amphibious beings known to be cannibalistic. They are very resilient and are known to travel in large groups. Kartorians are known to use them in battle as their first wave of attack.

Credorian - They are a small humanoid race that stand no taller than 4'. Even though they are highly advanced and intelligent they are very trusting and naive. Most become historians for cities, countries, or even entire worlds. A select few become accountants and investors.

Arachni - Spider-like beings. They are a horrible combination of human and spider. They have the ability to shift between the two forms and even shift into a hybrid of the two. They are mostly female. Females are exceedingly attractive and 'marry' men, use them to breed the next generation and then devour them. Males, who are also highly attractive, can only be found on their home planet. Males are much larger than females and are known to breed several females at once. If a female attempts to attack the male he tears her apart and leaves her for the other females.

Prompt #1 Part 2

My brother has expressly asked (told) that I finish my prompt story or he will stop feeding me. Me being the fat girl I am can't let this happen. (Yes I am a BBW and I use the word fat towards myself. Get over it.) So as per His Royal Highness Dork-fer-brains has asked, I will continue with the story.

Also, everything is unedited. So if something doesn't make sense or sounds weird it's because I'm not extensively editing it like I normally would.

Billy snorted at her. "Do I look like a Mogwai? Yes I can eat after midnight and I can get in water and stay there as long as I want. My kind reproduce in the usual way."

"Oh?" Carly asked.

"Yes, when we are ready for a youngling we cut off our hands and watch them regenerate," he said with a straight face.

She stared at him in horror. "Really?!"

He burst out laughing. "No, not really. We reproduce just like humans."

"So what exactly are you? I know that you look like a gremlin but that doesn't mean that is what you are," she said.

He looked at her solemnly. She was definitely different from any human he had ever met. But there had to be something special about her if the landlady rented out to her. "My dad was a selkie and my mom was a dragon. It screwed up my genetics, hence the green skin and gremlin like appearance when I shift."

She blushed and bit her lip. "I think you're cute in either form." She kept her eyes downcast, afraid that she might have freaked him out.

"For a human you are quite strange," he replied, stunned at her confession.

The closet door banged open, startling them both. A tall figure draped in bright purple fabric stepped out of the inky depths. The figure stood still for a moment before pushing the fabric from it's face. If it wasn't for his golden goatee, Carly would have thought he was a woman of the supermodel variety.

"Haven't I told you never to keep a human for a pet. They are so needy. Constantly needing food and attention. We've talked about this," the man said, his voice soft and lyrical.

Billy shook his head. "She isn't my pet, Gladius, she's my new roommate. What's with the dramatic entrance?"

Gladius sat down on Carly's little bed and leaned back. He was the epitome of gracefulness. "I just came back from a visit to the old hag's place."

"Your mother isn't a hag, she's the Goddess of Beauty," Billy retorted.

Gladius just snorted. "She's a hag. She refuses to acknowledge  that she even gave birth to me." He sighed. "Sometimes it sucks being the bastard child of a goddess and the King of Nightmares."

"At least you know your father," Carly said quietly. "Mine took off the moment he found out Momma was pregnant with me."

Gladius leaned forward, examining her. "You are an interesting human. I didn't think your kind were allowed to even step foot in this place." He looked sharply at Billy, who just shrugged in indifference.

"I still haven't figured out why the landlady rented out to her but she doesn't have an issue with either of my forms," he said.

Gladius looked around the apartment. "What happened to all your beautiful things?"

Billy looked at him drolly. "The landlady rented out my apartment to a human and put all my stuff in storage. Need I say more?"

Gladius stared at him in horror. "How could she?!" He stood up and clapped his hands. "We'll fix that right this instant." He looked over at Carly disdainfully. "You don't have a problem with me getting rid of your things do you?"

She shook her head. "I don't mind. I just don't want to be a problem for anyone." She grabbed a few things from around the apartment. "This is all I need."

Billy looked at the pile curiously. "What's all that?"

She smiled, remembering the history of the items at her feet. "They're things that Momma gave me."

Gladius snorted. "You're one of those people that absolutely adore their parents, aren't you?"

She shrugged. "Why shouldn't I adore the woman that gave birth to me and raised me all by herself? She endured many hardships to make sure that I had everything I needed in life. Why would it be wrong to adore and look up to her?"

Gladius sneered in distaste. "Please don't preach to me about how wonderful your mother is. Mine may be the most beautiful being in existence, but her beauty is only skin deep."

Carly looked at Billy who held up his hands in defeat. "My mother was more into collecting all the shiny trinkets she could get her claws on. I mostly fended for myself."

"Enough of this," Gladius said. He snapped his fingers and the room around them twisted, when it righted itself all of her old things had been replaced with beautiful furnishings. "You're welcome."

Billy sat down on the lounge that had appeared in front of the window. "Thanks. Just one little problem. I still have a roommate and only one bed."

Gladius chuckled. "I'm sure you two will figure something out. Vale, my loves." He stopped just in front of the closet door. "I almost forgot. The King of Nightmares has invited you to his bicentennial ball. He expects you to bring a date this time."

Billy groaned. "Let me guess, if I don't he and my mother will find me someone to spend the evening with."

"You got it," he replied before leaving through the closet.

Carly looked at Billy. "Bicentennial ball?"

He sighed in aggravation. "Don't worry about it. So what did you think about meeting a new supernatural being?"

She pressed her lips together. If she said what was going through her mind then she would definitely be seeing Momma rise from the grave. But how could she resist? "Does he get the irony of being gay and constantly go in and out of a closet?"

Billy started laughing. He hadn't even noticed the irony of it until she pointed it out.

NOTE: In regards to this last few sentences, I am not bashing on the LGBT community. I am bi. I make jokes about things that are relevant to me. Plus, I have a surprise brewing for the next post that has to do with this. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this. I am sure there will be many more to come. Have a happy 4th of July weekend!

NOTE 2: Vale = Goodbye in Latin

Galaxing Around

This book is taking up all my free time. I could be sitting down reading a book, or taking a shower, and I'll start thinking about my characters. I have reached a larger number of pages than my first two novellas so this one might actually reach novel length.

I will be doing a few character guides and a few excerpts for ya'll. I am hoping to have the cover by the end of the month or beginning of February. As per my usual I am tearing my hair out because I can't wait to see the cover myself.

I am also hoping to figure out the title for MS3. This has been driving me nuts because I have the title figured out for MS4 and 5 but 3 is just kicking my butt. I have posted a poll on my twitter account with the possible titles. If you want to head on over there and give them a look it would be much appreciated.

The Next Book

I have started on my next book and will have my first draft done soon. But I am finding that the book I am working on isn't the next book in my Millersburg Shifters series. So! I will be starting on that rough draft this coming week and somehow juggle writing both books, work, and the holidays.

I am hoping to have my next book published by next year. *snicker* Yes I know a whole 20 days until January. I am still unsure which book will be done by then but one of them will be. I will have a short excerpt for you in the coming days.

If you haven't gotten your copy of Triple Threat or Taming An Alpha please check out my author page on Amazon. If you have gotten your copy please leave a review on Goodreads or Amazon! Thanks a lot and I'll see you all soon!

Excerpt from Taming An Alpha

Anyone ready for a Taming An Alpha excerpt? If not then too bad because you're getting one!

Jack waited impatiently for Gabby to show up with Sparrow. He saw Gabby’s truck coming up the drive and waved her down. They climb out of the truck and walk up the drive. He stared at Sparrow, watching the sway of her hips, thinking about how he wanted to caress her curves. He shook his head. He really needed to get his brain out of his dick. “Glad you could join us ladies. Last night there was an incident and Charise was kidnapped by her stalker, Ares. She was retrieved unharmed, mostly, and Freya would like our help canvassing the area. Sparrow, since you’re a PUA agent I figured you would be able to help her investigate the cabin.” “I hate to break it to you but anything I find would be just circumstantial evidence due to the fact that I am an EX agent.” “At this point I don’t think anyone cares.” He looked at Gabby. “You’ll be searching the surrounding area with me and the rest of the clans. The Ursus Clan and Shanbeel Pride are also helping with the search. Look for anything out of the ordinary.” Gabby nodded and took off into the forest. Sparrow thought about all the protocols that were being broken but when push comes to shove she guessed it didn’t matter. She looked at Jack and found him staring at her, his eyes filled with a searing heat. “You going to show me where this cabin is or are you going to drag me off to some secluded meadow to have your wicked way with me?” He stared at her in shock. He wasn’t sure if she was serious or joking but his cock was in agreement with her suggestion. He grabbed her and pulled her close, smirking at her wide eyed look. “Don’t tempt me. I might just take you up on it.” He could faintly smell the sweet aroma of her arousal wafting in the air. “Let’s go help Freya before I really do drag you off and do all the wicked things my cat has been clamoring for me to do.” He turned on his heel and walked away. Sparrow stared at him in confusion. Where was the asshat that she met when she came to town? Maybe he had a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde complex. Wait. Didn’t they call that bipolarism? Maybe. Was that a word? She shook her head. He had flustered her and now she was becoming scatterbrained. She jogged to catch up to him. “So…” She tried to think of what she was going to say but lost all train of thought as he turned to look at her. “Dammit stop looking at me.” He burst out laughing. “Why?” “You’re making me scatterbrained.” He continued laughing. She really was something else. She was kind of like a firecracker. Slow to fizzle with a sudden bang when she got angry or thrown off balance. The cabin came into sight and he quickened his pace chuckling as she ran to keep up. “You’re an ass,” she said when they reached the front steps. “Have to keep you from thinking I’m a gentleman.” She watched him speculatively. “I think you are a gentleman. You just don’t want anyone knowing. Might ruin your rap as a badass alpha male.” She was definitely smarter than she looked. He would have to watch what he said and did around her. He didn’t need her thinking he could be tamed. He knocked on the cabin door and waited for Freya to answer. The door swung open revealing Freya’s somewhat frazzled appearance. She motioned them in as she stepped back. “Watch where you step.” She turned and handed Sparrow a set of latex gloves. “Thanks for coming. The sheriff has decided that since this was a shifter crime this is a shifter matter. He is leaving us to it. But the only person that can help me is Sparrow. I am making you a temporary Council agent.” Sparrow nodded in understanding and pulled the gloves on. “I will leave you ladies to it. If you need me I will be helping search the surrounding area.” Jack turned and left leaving them alone. “The unsub held Charise in there until she was rescued by her mates. I have found several hairs of varying colors and length. We won’t know if they are all from one person or multiples until I get them to a forensics lab. If you want to start in the bedroom, I’ll finish here in the living room.” Freya handed Sparrow a small forensics kit and headed to the far end of the main room of the cabin. Sparrow walked into the bedroom and began looking for evidence. She found several hairs along with a few pieces of jewelry that were not characteristically worn by men. Unless they were crossdressers. She picked up a ring and her breath caught in her throat. “Is the cabin privately owned or a rental?” “According to my intel it is a privately owned cabin on 20 acres of property that has been in the Ursus family for the last five generations.” “What about his mother? Alive or dead? Any sisters?” Freya came into the room, stopping just inside the door. “Mother’s dead. No sisters. Why? Did you find something?’ “The loving touches around this room. Doilies on the nightstands, a vase of flowers, accent rugs. Men don’t usually think about things like that. He wasn’t a drag queen was he?” Freya shook her head. “From what everyone has told me he was completely heterosexual but maybe he hadn’t come out about his sexuality.” “Then we might be looking at multiple victims. I found these around the room.” She held up varying pieces of jewelry. Freya picked up a bracelet. “This belongs to Camia Johnson. It was in the picture her mother gave me.” “And this belongs to my sister.” She held up the ring. “Dad gave this to her when she graduated high school.” “Your sister’s name is Robyn right?” At Sparrow’s nod she continued. “Gabriella told me about why you moved to town. I’m sorry that you had to move here just to find out what happened to her.” “Didn’t you do the same thing?” Sparrow arched her brow knowingly. She had worked many cases that ended up going cold or that were deemed not important. Freya chuckled. “Yeah I did. I guess I was also looking for a home for my pack and now the thought of leaving Millersburg just doesn’t sit right.” They placed their evidence in bags and finished looking around the cabin. They found more hairs and jewelry but it was the blood stain they found under the living room couch that really unsettled them. Jack returned to the cabin as they were finishing up. “There’s a warehouse just to the south of here. We can smell blood emanating from it. My men investigated it further and found what looks like a makeshift fight ring.” Freya nodded. “Have your men stakeout the place and see if anyone comes back. If someone does do not apprehend them. We need to see if they can lead us to the missing women.” “Women?” He only knew of Charise being taken. How many others had the sick bastard taken? “Two confirmed with possibly more. I won’t know until I get my evidence to forensics. One of the confirmed is Sparrow’s sister Robyn.” Freya put the evidence and kits in her truck and pulled out a roll of crime scene tape and padlock. She was oblivious to the tenseness growing around her. Jack looked at Sparrow. She hadn’t told him about a missing sister. But then he hadn’t really given her a chance to talk to him without him being an ass. Hell. Looked like he might be apologizing for being a horse’s ass. “Sister?” Sparrow sighed and stepped off the porch. She walked down the drive towards Gabby’s truck but was deterred by Jack when he led her over to his. “My sister disappeared six months ago from this area. No one believes that she wouldn’t just take off like this.” He helped her into the truck and got in. He revved the engine and pulled out of the drive. “I’m sorry that your sister was taken.” She nodded. If only she had come with her sister maybe they would both be at home right now. But as her mother used to say, everything happens for a reason. “At least now I know she didn’t run away. I just wish I had gone with her like I was supposed to.” “Why didn’t you?” He may be an ass but he was curious about the woman that drew him. He wanted to know everything he could about her. Well almost everything because women had to have secrets just like men. Hopefully his didn’t scare her too much. “On my last assignment I was shot while looking into a rape case. I caught a silver bullet in the hip, shattering my pelvic bone. The doctor's pinned my hip back together but couldn’t get all the silver out. I ended up a desk jockey because of the pain when I shift.” She absently rubbed at her hip, still feeling the lingering pain. “What should have only taken a couple of months to heal ended up taking eight. Robyn and I were supposed to come down here for some sister time but since I was injured I couldn’t come. She wanted to just stay at home and look after me. We had already paid for our cabin and on such short notice they wouldn’t refund our money. I told her to come down and have fun. Meet new people. Party.” She looked up at him with pain filled eyes. “I never thought about the danger she could have been in. I am a federal agent and I know about the dangers out there but I guess I always thought that nothing would ever happen to my family.” “You didn’t know this would have happened.” He grabbed her hand, smoothing his thumb over her soft skin. “We will find her.” “Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” She smiled sadly at him. He really was trying to not be an asshat. He pulled into the parking lot of Wolf Haven, turning towards her after cutting the engine. If only things were different. But if they were she most likely would’ve never have met him. She looked so cute when she was deep in thought. He leaned across the space separating them and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. It felt like silk. Would her tiger’s fur feel the same way? He had never felt like this with anyone else before. Could she be… He inhaled her scent, the harsh acrid smell of her suppressant was gone and in its place was the smell of fresh meadows and strawberries. She was a tiger shifter. His tiger growled as the need to claim her washed over him. He clenched his teeth as he felt his incisors lengthen. Thank God she wasn’t looking at him at the moment or he would have looked weird as hell fighting with his inner beast. Turning into an oversized prehistoric tiger inside his truck would not have been a good thing. He would have squished her and possibly broken his truck. Fat ass cat. His tiger snarled at him. Sparrow turned to thank him for bringing her home. She saw his eyes flash in the darkness and felt her tiger purr. He was still an ass even though he had been nice to her. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of adding a notch to his bed post tonight. “Thank you for bringing me home.” She opened the truck door. “I’ll see you tomorrow at work.” He grabbed her hand before she could climb out. “I’ll pick you up in the morning. We have a lot to talk about.” Like finding a secluded spot along the road or going back to his lair and claiming her. But why didn’t she feel the connection? She was a shifter so why didn’t she acknowledge that he was her mate? She narrowed her eyes and watched him curiously. “Ok in the morning then.” She climbed from the truck. “Goodnight Jack.” She closed the door and walked into Wolf Haven. He watched her ass jiggle with each step. This woman called to both the man and beast. “Goodnight kitten.” He would be claiming her soon. But would she accept him as her mate?

New Release!

Taming An Alpha, book 2 of the Millersburg Shifters launched yesterday. It also marked the count down to Christmas and something even more important to me. My son's birthday. So I am apologizing in advance that my posts might be a little more erratic than normal. I have the great horror of shopping for a birthday and Christmas this week.

So from me to you have an enjoyable 24 days of Christmas! I will hopefully post more about my next book on here in the near future but no promises. Sorry for the short update but enjoy this wonderful time of year!

Who's Ready?

Who's ready for book 2 of Millersburg Shifters? I know I am! Book 3 is slowly making an appearance on paper. Dirty rat bastards refuse to talk to me. So I am jotting down notes on what will be going on in book 3.

Plus that bloody fox keeps driving me nuts. You will be meeting the fox that has been pestering me at every turn soon unless he keeps it up and I end up writing his story before I am ready to.

Anyway now that my rant about my characters is over (for the moment) let me tell you about a personal goal I am hoping to achieve with book 3. I am hoping to bring in a larger crowd that will like the Millersburg Shifters. So I guess my request is that if you have friends who likes to read casually suggest my books. or send them to my Facebook page or Twitter page.

Or you can hook your friends up with a copy this holiday season. Hey just saying. Unfortunately I am not far enough along in this series yet to feel comfortable doing a giveaway. Though to give you all a heads up I will be doing a giveaway after book 3 comes out.

So if you don't have your copy of Triple Threat or your pre-ordered copy of Taming An Alpha then now is the time! I suddenly feel like I should be holding a giant sword and leading an army into battle.

Onward ho! Faster Peanut we must keep up with our army! Damn your short legs! Damn my short legs!

Yes I am insane.....

It is okay to say it. I have fully accepted that I will be getting one of those hugging jackets. I want mine in black with pink and purple accents. OOOH can I also have matching shoes and hair bows?

Sorry. Hmm. Yea. Check out my books. Or my other blog where I usually keep my insanity contained.

The Wait is Almost Over

Taming An Alpha is done!!!!!! YAY!!!! There is even a few surprise scenes and a bonus chapter that my wonderful betas didn't get to read. This should be available to buy by the end of the month if not sooner since I have noticed Amazon is hinky like that.

If you haven't gotten your copy of Taming An Alpha then you can get it here: http://goo.gl/USvAzw

FYI I am totally jumping up and down with joy that I am done with this book. This is the second novella length story I have finished and my second complete piece of work that I have ever published. Yes I have published before but I wasn't completely happy with them like I am with this one.
Oh and during my revisions one of my characters for another book wormed his way in and tried to steal the show. I wouldn't let him.Just watch for his tootsie roll! ;)

Yes I just totally did an emoticon. You'll understand when you get to that particular part of the story.

Happy Halloween

I hope everyone is having a Happy Halloween!! I'll be spending my night burning the midnight oil and working on my rewrites and new scenes. Though I'm not going to lie and say I haven't spent the day pigging out on candy. And I may have creeped everyone out at work by dressing as a heartless psychopath. But hey I am who I am.

If you haven't gotten your copy of Triple Threat you can find it here: http://goo.gl/P0cLGF
And if you haven't preordered your copy of Taming An Alpha you can get it here: http://goo.gl/USvAzw

I am hoping to have everything done by the end of next week and you guys might even get your copies early.

Tomorrow starts Nanowrimo and I usually participate but this year I won't be but I will be giving everyone that is lots of support. I will be working on one of my mystery projects next month and I have even had a zombie story lurking in my mind, though I'm not sure if I want to write it some of the scenes that have been going through my mind for it are heart wrenching. Maybe I just need to rewatch The Walking Dead....

Ok I'm going back into my own little world.

Happy Halloween!

Beta Readers

I posted on my personal Facebook page for beta readers and I was asked a very important question that I felt needed to be addressed. The question was whether or not it was a paid gig. For a first time writer I told them my sales were not enough to actually pay them but... Yes but I would give them a free copy of the book that they were beta reading for me.

I felt that I should give a bit of advice to other new authors out there. If you have beta readers who are willing to read your book free of charge that's awesome. But it's just good manners to give them something in return. (Edit) If you are a new reader and find someone willing to be a beta reader, always offer them a free copy of your book if they want one. I would not suggest offering money, unless you have ready cash for them. If you want to offer them money do not depend on what you get from sales.

1. You don't know what your sales are going to look like.
2. If you go through Amazon you won't get your first payment for 60 days.
3. Taxes and fees (may) apply to what you get. So if you price your book at $.99 then when someone buys it the get charged $1.07 (if I did my math right) and then there is a Delivery Cost if you do 70% Royalty (which pricing starts at $2.99)

But beware your beta readers. I'm not saying all of them are bad most are really nice but there are bad apples out there. They might steal/copy your work. Or troll you once you have published your work. Yes there are some messed up people out there. Just turn on the news.

Also, there is always one thing that sits in the back of my mind. These are my friends (if you are using your friends as beta readers) are they really going to give me their honest opinion or are they going to sugar coat it?

This question dogs me every time I ask someone to read something for me and it has actually stopped me a few times. But to be a successful writer you have to face your fears. To be successful at anything you have to face your fears. I've talked about my fears before.

Hopefully after the feedback I receive I will get my edits done and have it submitted for ya'll to read on December 1st. I thought I had set up the pre-order for Dec. 14th but I was wrong. Anyway, keep an eye out for little updates on my Facebook page and Twitter. I try to remember to update but sometimes I forget. I'm sure some of you are going to ask about my personal page but I will tell you right now that my personal page is just that, personal.

Don't forget to get your copy of Triple Threat and pre order your copy of Taming An Alpha.

Look at me getting all tech savvy... Not! I learned how to use the little links button.... Yeah I'm a dork. It's ok. Don't hate me for my dorkiness.

Excerpt from Taming An Alpha

I am in the mood to share today and have decided to put an excerpt on here for you all to read. Please note that this is unedited and will most likely be different from the final product. You can pre order Taming An Alpha here: http://goo.gl/USvAzw

Chapter 1

Sparrow Williams expected the worst when she walked into Cougar Construction. What she wasn’t expecting was the hottie sitting behind the front desk. Everything from the top of his shaggy golden head to his muscular tattooed forearms screamed sexiness.

She couldn’t help her attraction. He exuded power, an alpha’s power. And he was big. His broad shoulders hinted at just how giant he would be when he stood up. A strong nose, broken once or twice, defined cheekbones and a square dimpled chin told of his superior genes. She could imagine tracing the lines of his tattoos with her tongue and finding out where they led to.  If she hadn’t been told she was working for shifters she would have thought he was a god.

He definitely didn’t look like the owner of a renowned construction company but more like a biker and straight out of her wet dreams. Down kitty. We’re here to keep Jack Kale in line not fuck every male in sight.

“Can I help you? Strip for you maybe?” He looked up at her, his jade green eyes locking with hers. He smiled as she coughed and composed herself. His eyes trail down her body, taking in curves made for loving, an ass to hold as he claimed her. He licked his lips thinking about how sweet her skin would taste. He smelled the lingering effects of her heat, the faint acrid smell of the suppressant she was taking and her growing arousal. He could imagine spending time in bed with her as soon as he figured out what kind of shifter she was. Damn drug.

“You must be Jack Kale. I’m Sparrow Williams, the new secretary,” She watched his flirty demeanor morph into a cold blank mask.

“Thank you for coming but I don’t need a secretary. Especially a female still dealing with the lingering effects of her heat and masked scent.” Damn his father for hiring such a tempting morsel. How was he supposed to keep his dick clean when all he wanted to do was sink it into his gorgeous new secretary?

“I’m taking a suppressant and my scent will be back to normal in a couple of days.” She bit her lip to keep from snarling at him.

He glared at her. The woman really was too tempting. He wanted to sooth where she had bitten her lip and then bite it for her. Right before he laid her across his desk. “I don’t care. Leave.” For his own sanity.

She snorted. If he treated all women like this then she didn’t understand why she was needed to keep him in line. “Are you always and asshole? Or is it just me?”

“Just you.” Only because I can’t fuck you into oblivion like I want to.

She chuckled and sat down in front of him. “To think I was hired to keep your dick in your pants. I just need to keep you in this mood all the time.”

“Obviously you can’t take a hint. If you don’t leave in the next 30 seconds I’ll forcibly remove you from this office,” he growled. Or take you back to my lair and never let you leave until you had at least three cubs. Fucking hell.

“No you will not,” Lachlan said as he walked into the office stopping next to Sparrow. “I hired her to keep you in line, not for you to toss out the door.” He looked at Sparrow with his jade green eyes that were just as mesmerizing as his son’s. “Miss Sparrow, I am Lachlan Kale. I am sorry for my sons appalling behavior. He thinks we do not need a secretary.”

“If you hadn’t fired Char we wouldn’t need one,” Jack growled.

“If you had kept your dick in your pants instead of screwing every female you meet I would not of had to replace her.” Lachlan looked at his son dispassionately.

Sparrow chuckled. “All he has to do is treat the women like he treated me after he found out who I was.”

“I usually have to beat them off with a stick,” Jack growled. Tempting little minx. Keep taunting the tiger and see what happens.

“Must have been the desperate ones,” she snarled. The thought of someone receiving any kind of affection from Jack angered her. She wanted to hunt them down and turn them into dog kibble. Damn this heat. Making her go psycho for an asshole.

Interesting. Lachlan looked between the two of them and had to stop from chuckling. “If you do not want me to call your cousin Parker and have him come take over then I suggest you play nice with Miss Sparrow.”

I’ll play nice all right. When she’s tied to my bed and wearing my mark. Fuck! “That lazy cougar would run this place into the ground.”

Lachlan just stared at his son with a look asking if he really wanted to go there.

Jack snarled. “Make yourself at home Miss Williams. I’ll be on site if you need me.” Right after I go home and rub one out. He stalked out of the office slamming the door behind him.

Lachlan had noticed the state his son had been in and wished that Moira was here to witness it. They would have both fallen over in laughter. He sighed at the thought of his missing mate. “I’m sorry for my son’s behavior.” He pulled a sheaf of papers out from under his arm. “Here is the paperwork I will need you to fill out. A list of necessary numbers is included along with the computer password. I will bring you your own set of keys tomorrow.”

“Thank you.” She accepted the sheaf of papers and moved around to the other side of the desk. She nearly moaned in ecstasy as Jack’s scent enveloped her. She sat down in his vacated seat and hoped that Lachlan didn’t smell her arousal.

“No thank you for taking the job. You were highly recommended by your superiors. I am hoping that Jack will have accepted your presence by next week.”

“Next week? Why by next week?” Her mother always told her that curiosity got the kitty in trouble but in this case curiosity got explanations.

“Yes. I am retiring from both the pride and the family business. At the end of next week I will be leaving for Jamaica.” And when he came back maybe have some grandcubs on the way. “If you need anything just call me. Lock up when you go to lunch. I doubt Jack will be coming back to the office today.” He removed his office key from his key ring. “Just use my key until I am able to bring you your own.”

She smiled at him as she took the key. He reminded her of her father before everything went to hell. “Thank you and I will.” She watched him leave before going out to her car and grabbing a small box of things she used to have at her old desk. As she was walking back into the office she didn’t see the figure coming up behind her.

“Hello.”

Sparrow whirled around not expecting someone behind her.  The petite woman behind her exuded happiness. “Can I help you?”

“I’m Gabriella, Gabby for short. I’m the new electrician.” She paused and Sparrow looked at her wondering if she needed anything. “My friends and I were wondering if you wanted to go to lunch with us. Sorta like a welcome to the neighborhood gesture.”

Sparrow smiled at the perky woman. “Sure I would like that.”

Gabby smiled widely. “Ok see you at lunch.” She bound away causing Sparrow to liken her to a puppy. She chuckled and walked back into the office. At least she met someone nice today unlike a certain jerk of a boss. She growled as she thought of him. She refused to be treated like that again.

Having Fun

Having a fun day today. Not a whole lot of writing (at the moment) but without laughter what is life? 

It has been brought to my attention that one of my favorite authors is thinking about doing a giveaway. I would like to help her but I honestly don't think I have enough followers to truly help her out. But we will see what happens in the next couple of days. And yes I have been thinking about getting swag for my Millersburg Shifters.

If you see a woman walking around with a Pikachu on her head that may be me. I got it in my Loot Crate today! Pure awesomeness!

Announcing Book 2

Taming an Alpha will be up for pre order tomorrow! Though I think in my excitement I forgot to put in the description. Idk but I will be checking. But book 2 also got a kick ass cover. It is currently set to be 2.99 but depending on the length of it I might be changing the price like I did with Triple Threat.

Blurb:
Ex government agent Sparrow Williams came to town as the new secretary for Cougar Construction and searching for the sister everyone told her ran away. She was expecting a fresh start and her loving sister back in her arms. What she wasn't expecting was her sexy new boss, Jack Kale. And her overwhelming attraction to him.

As her and Jack help a local Council agent they find out just how much danger that Sparrow's sister is in and that there is more darkness in Millersburg than anyone knew. When an old foe tries to kidnap Sparrow, Jack must come to the rescue and save her before he loses her.

Expect several mature scenes, lots of growling, and several declarations of MINE!
