In Case You Hated Me After Sin... (#ReleaseDay)

In Case You Hated Me After Sin… (#ReleaseDay)

You might hate me even more after Abandoned :). But then you’ll love me again when Savior (Book Three) comes out! Without further delay, here is Abandoned (No Way Out – Book Two). Sin and Reese are back and their story gets a little crazier…yes it is possible. Yes, my brain goes to weird places when I’ve been writing these books, and no, I don’t know where it comes from, which is probably the…

Bringing It Back: Wrestling In a Skirt

Bringing It Back: Wrestling In a Skirt

Sounds hot, right? There is nothing better than waking up on a warm, sunny day and picking out something summery to wear. A cute top and a billowy floral skirt–ahh perfection. I pull in a deep breath, stretch a smile across my face and open my bedroom door to face the day. I can already imagine what’s waiting for me downstairs: two smiling kids pleasantly sitting at the table eating their…

Short Snort: Ten Christmas Gifts That'll Make you Spit Out your Coffee

Short Snort: Ten Christmas Gifts That’ll Make you Spit Out your Coffee

You may already know this, but I like to laugh. A lot. Regardless of how lame my jokes are, I still tell them :). My weeks are long, as I’m sure most of yours are, so whenever I can I want to write up something that will at least make me laugh, it’s worth it. It’ll be an extra bonus if I can make you laugh too. So whenever you see a blog post titled “Short Snort”, it’s safe to say something extra…

Bringing it Back: How to Burn Thanksgiving Dinner

Bringing it Back: How to Burn Thanksgiving Dinner

Okay. Soo, I love to cook. I love to bake. I love to put on an apron and pretend I’m Julia Child. I have this image in my head of what I look like, dancing around the kitchen singing to whatever’s on the radio, looking like I know what I’m doing. Except there’s one problem: the kitchen hates me. Like, truly hates my guts. Everything that could go wrong, will go wrong. It’s like an orchestrated…

A Letter to All A**holes Out There... (In case you missed it)

A Letter to All A**holes Out There… (In case you missed it)

Dear You Know Who YOU are, To the person who has made me feel sorry for myself, ugly, overweight, and boring. You are wrong. I’m beautiful, healthy, and full of life. I have spent years looking in the mirror, trying to convince myself that everything you have said to me was wrong. You made me weak-minded and because of that, I trust and believe easily. You made me controllable and moldable. It’s…

RELEASE DAY for RAVEL!!!!

RELEASE DAY for RAVEL!!!!

It’s a day early, but it’s available and I want to share it with you! As I’ve mentioned, I kept quiet about Ravel for a long time. I had many reasons for this, but mostly, I wanted everything planned out perfectly for today. I loved writing this book. I loved it so much I felt like I was living with my characters (which sort of freaked out my husband–he’ll be okay). Daphne and Kemper have been a…

Sin of the Shed: Episode Twelve (Final Episode of Book One)

  Find all prior episodes HERE     REESE   “Don’t move,” Sin says calmly. I pull the blanket up to my neck as he steps off of the mattress and walks to the corner. I watch as he scratches the side of his face before he rips the thing down, or tries to rip it down. A thin rope tied tightly around a doll’s neck hangs from the ceiling, but the rope is tucked under a ceiling panel. Sin pulls the rope…

Trying my hardest to focus through this relentless dizziness I’ve been experiencing, I swing the guy into the last set of bars, forcing his head against the metal. Adrenaline finally kicks in and I shove him over and over again. I kick him in the gut, forcing…

(via Sin of the Shed - Episode Ten) REESEMy focus swings from JJ to Sin, pondering who might come to first. I pray for Sin, but my prayers usually go unanswered. I look around, taking inventory of what’s around me, which is very little with the exception of the bag of food from Sin and the bag of berries from JJ. I grab both and hurry back to where Sin is laying. “Sin, can you hear me?” I whisper. “I have the food. I’ll keep it safe.” With my hand, I dig into the dirt, relishing the soft soil soothing and cooling my trembling hands. (more)

(via Sin of the Shed - Episode Nine) It’s like watching a car accident happen in slow motion. I want to help him, stop him, plead with him to come back, but like a driver inside of a car, he wouldn’t hear me.Watching as Sin walks toward the savages of this town, I silently pray for his safety. He didn’t ask me if I would rather him jump into the riot and fight for food, or if I would be okay with starvation. (more)
