Meet My Character Monday Blog Tour: Meet Doyle from ALONE

Good morning. I want to start by thank those of you who are joining us for the first and thanking all those who have been with us from the beginning. I hope you guys enjoy reading these bios as much as we enjoy writing them.

Today I want to introduce you to Doyle Nichols. Doyle is a fictional character in my post-apocalyptic novel, Alone. Alone is set in the south in the not too distant future.

The most notable thing about Doyle is that he is Eve’s first love. They met in high school and were friends for about a year before they started dating. They continued to date after high school and through college. Throughout the novel, Eve keeps most of the stories about him secret, and since he leaves early own we don’t know much about him. We know they liked to play pool, hang out at an old railroad bridge, and party as most teenagers and young adults do. We do know that Doyle loves Eve with all of his heart, which he shows by always being by her side through the death of her sister and her brother-n-law and is willing to help her family whenever they need him.

He doesn’t have much of a family, so he doesn’t feel the effects of the sickness that is slowly killing the planet until his father gets sick. His father is in Chicago on business when he gets sick, and Doyle’s mother insists he taker to her husband. Being the dutiful son, he does, and that is the last we see of him.

To find out more about Doyle, the sickness, and what happens to Eve after he leaves, pick up your copy of Alone. The eBooks are only $3.99 at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Place, and Smashwords. To find out more about this novel, visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Weekend Writing Warriors - 10-12-14 #8sunday from SHIFTER

Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my first Weekend Writing Warriors’ Sunday Snippet post.

Today’s excerpt comes from chapter four of my supernatural romance, Shifter. In this scene, Dimitri, a grown man cursed into the form of a small kitten, is trying to acclimate to his new life while at the same time trying to find a way to break the curse get back to his pack.

My escape attempts have been futile. That first night I tried to sneak out the door when her sister arrived with her kids, but the oldest boy grabbed me. I got stuck in her basement once, after sneaking down there when she left the door open, thinking it would have a way out. There wasn’t an exit. I had to meow at the door for an hour before she came looking for me.

She laughed at the sight of me, then said, “I bet you won’t go down there again, will you?”

The situation wasn’t at all funny.

I haven’t resigned myself to this place, but for now, I’ll have to make do.

Want to know from where Dimitri is trying to escape? Grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

WIP Update 10-10-14

Since I do #8Sunday on Sundays and Meet My Character Monday, I'm going to try to post this WIP updates on Friday, so here is my week:

Monday 10-6-14 -- This week is starting out well. I wrote another chapter in the ghost story. According to my outline for this novel, I only have seven more chapters to go before I finish the first draft. My goal is to finish the first draft by the end of the month, so pray my muse cooperates with my plans.
Now on to a sample of this chapter. Enjoy:
"Michael leapt from Ian’s body the instant they crossed the threshold of Ian’s apartment. “What the hell,” he yelled at Ian, but the other man couldn’t hear him."

Wednesday 10-8-14 -- Worked on the outline for Outcast and expounded on a few scenes today. Here is a peak at what I wrote:
"Daniele didn’t bother to acknowledge my father’s actions or the scathing look her soon-to-be mother-n-law gave her, she simply gave me another warm smile, and turned to face her future husband. She was absolutely radiant, and I chose to focus all of my attention on her and not the eyes boring into me. I had long since grown used to the way my family and Dave’s family detested me and didn’t care if they didn’t like that my sister still loved me despite their hatred."

10-8-14 Editor sent HIM back to me, so I'll be posting snippets from it soon. I started on her grammar notes and will begin her content notes soon. Yep, I have to add things, remove things, and rework things, but all of it will be for the best, I think.

She and I also talked about Immortal. Yes, I know I promised to post excerpts from it, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't like my writing. Kathryn is going to take a look at it though and give me her thoughts.

Friday 10-10-14 -- This ghost story just keeps surprising me. Since the day I wrote the outline for this novel, I only saw one ending, but tonight as I'm working on one of the last chapters, it has taken a slightly different turn. I plan on following it through to the end to see if I like it, but I'm keeping my notes on the original ending just in case. According to the outline I have four more chapters to go, but with the new ending, I don't know.
Here is the line that changed everything: "I’m not saying she doesn’t love you, but this isn’t what she wants.”

Well, that is it for now. Good night everyone. :)

Meet My Character Blog Tour: Meet Charles Wallace from Charles Wallace's Favorite Toy

Welcome back to Meet My Character Monday blog tour. Today I want to introduce you to Charles Wallace, the feline companion to the main character of my modern day, fictional, free short story, Charles Wallace’s Favorite Toy.

Charles Wallace is one of my favorite characters to write. He is one of only three feline characters I’ve created. Of the three, I think his is the most interesting. Dimitri doesn’t count, as he is technically a shapeshifter. Charles Wallace is named after the little boy in A Wrinkle in Time, one of mine and the main character in this stories’ favorite novels. In every way Charles Wallace is your typical house cat. He is indifferent to his owners and believes the house is his and his owners are merely tenants. He loves his owner’s Snuggy.

Charles Wallace has two ambitions in life at the start of the story: one, to finally get a hold on that damned pull string dangling from the ceiling fan that has been taunting him since birth, and two, to eat the pile of vomit his owner so thoughtfully left for him on the bed. The problem is that every time he goes near the pile of vomit, his female owner shoos him away. If she would just get off the bed, he could get a taste before she swatted at him again, but when he finally got to that annoying pull string, meeting his first goal of the day, the entire thing had come crashing down on her, and now she won’t get up.

You can read Charles Wallace’s Favorite Toy in its entirety free at Goodreads or download it for free from Smashwords or NOOK.

WIP Update 10-5-14

I haven't gotten to do much writing this week since I'm getting ready for the upcoming release of my next short story, In the Dark. Check back daily for updates. I'm also in the beginning promotional stage with HIM, my suspense/thriller that I'm hoping to release January 2015. Peruse this site to see excerpts from the novel and the novel's amazing cover.

Update 1. I posted this about my ghost story on Tuesday: Another chapter done. Roughly another 8 more to go and the first draft of still untitled Ghost story novel will be complete. This was another stressful chapter to write. Lots of confusing emotions. Here is a sample of what I wrote today:
“Michael,” she whispered, scared that she had done something wrong.
“I…I have to go. I can’t do this with you.”

Update 2. I posted this about Outcast on Wednesday: In working on Outcast today, I had to answer a lot of whys. Why is there tension in this novel and in this family? Why is the main character an outcast? Why didn't her family chose her? Why? Why? Now my brain hurts, but I've figured most of it out and explained why we are where we are in the first chapter. Here is a sample from the chapter I worked on today:
The pack had given the Mr. Alexander a... choice: shun his eldest daughter or keep their middle daughter from being with the man she loves. Mr. Alexander didn’t want to lay the decision off on his middle daughter, but considering he wasn’t going to outcast one daughter just because another had a crush on a guy, Danielle would have to be the one to decide between her sister or her boyfriend.

Update 3. I posted this about the sequel to ALONE on Thursday: Finally, after days and days of mulling this over, I know where I want to go with chapter one. Yes, I know this seems obvious, and I am starting in the obvious place, but when I first started working on the outline for this novel a few weeks back, I went in a different direction. That direction wasn't working for me, so I'm going with the obvious and starting chapter 1 of part 1 minutes after the plane crash. Yes, I have a copy of ALONE sitting beside me as a guide. Hopefully, I don't mess up my own story too much. Here is a teaser from what I've worked on today:
"Sitting the very pregnant Eve in a chair just inside the door so that she could see when they brought Wes in, Vera went to the small kitchen to fetch Eve something to drink in the hopes of staving off the shock of seeing Wes’ body."

Weekend Writing Warriors - 10-5-14 #8sunday from SHIFTER

Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my second Weekend Writing Warriors’ Sunday Snippet post.

Today’s excerpt comes from chapter three of my supernatural romance, Shifter. In this scene, Abby is adopting Dimitri, who still in cat form, though she doesn’t know he is really a shapeshifter. The Doctor at the shelter is explaining to Abby that she can’t have him neuter just yet.

“Thank you so much. However, I don’t intend to get him fixed. He is too pretty. I would most definitely want to breed him,” Abby says, stroking my fur.

Oh, thank God. I really didn’t want to have to claw this woman’s eyes out for simply considering doing such a thing to me. I know my penis has gotten me into a lot of trouble as of late, but no man deserves such cruelty, then my excitement dies when I register the word “breed.” There is no way I’m going to mount a cat. That is too creepy to think about, and I’m positive my penis wouldn’t respond anyway.

Want to how Dimitri ended up as a cat? Grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Meet My Character Blog Tour: Meet Amy from HIM

Morning and welcome back to my MMCM blog tour post. Today I would like to introduce you to Amy Roberts, the main character of HIM, my upcoming fictional suspense thriller. HIM is set in Tennessee just west of Nashville and on an island off the coast of South Carolina. Amy is nineteen years old when the novel begins. She lives with her mother and younger brother. Her father is deceased, and her grandparents are the ones who own the island where most of the novel takes place. Amy likes to read, watch television, and hang out at the mall with her friends, as most teenagers do. She doesn’t have much of a love life due to her traumatic childhood, but she has been tentatively seeing an employee of the resort her grandfather owns.

Amy should have had a normal childhood. She should have had a mother and father who love her, a brother who annoys her, and normal love life, but due to the fact that her father dies of a brain aneurism when she is young, and her uncle spends most of her life molesting her, she doesn’t get any of these things. Amy’s mother doesn’t believe her when she tells her what her uncle has been doing to her, claiming that her daughter is simply seeking attention. Her mother’s disbelief puts a strain on her relationship with her brother, who is torn on what he should believe. Having only known the touch an abusive man, she can’t bring herself to get close to anyone.

Throughout the novel, Amy is on the run from her abuser and learning to love, trust, and fight back with the help of her sort of boyfriend and younger brother.

HIM has a tentative release day of January 2015. To stay up to date with this novel’s progress stop by this site often or like my Facebook page. I’m hoping to start releasing sample chapters on Goodreads and creating a Facebook page next month.

Weekend Writing Warriors - Sunday Snippet from SHIFTER

Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my second Weekend Writing Warriors’ Sunday Snippet post.

Today’s excerpt comes from chapter two of my supernatural romance, Shifter. In this scene we meet Dimitri for the first time. We are seeing the world from his new feline point-of-view while he is stuck in a cage in an animal shelter.

“What now,” I want to scream, but I know neither of the women standing in front of my cage can hear me. No one can hear me. I settle for giving them the most annoyed look my new body is able to conjure. They pay me no attention. God, do they have to stand there and stare at me like that? Their big heads bobbing at me from behind the barred door is creepy. They look like bug-eyed aliens from some B-movie examining their latest abduction. I’ve already had the anal probe, what more could they want?

Want to how Dimitri ended up in cage? Grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

WIP Update -- 9-26-14

Normally, I post updates on the pieces I'm actively working on whether the piece is in the idea stage, the writing stage, the editing stage, or something in between on my Author FB page or in the case of the sequel to ALONE on ALONE'S page. I'm going to continue to do so, but I also wanted to find a way to put those short updates on my new website. What I've decided to do is every couple of days I'm going to post a WIP update. I'll gather all of those short updates, compile them in to one, and post them here on my new blog.

So, here goes this week's WIP update:

Last night I posted this about my untitled ghost story: Wow, that chapter really wanted to be difficult. Okay, maybe it took so long to write because I decided to watch episodes 8, 9, and 10 of Witches of East End while trying to write the last three pages. My time was well spent. I love that show. Nine more chapters to go, and the first draft of my still untitled ghost story will be done. I can't wait. Here is a sneak peak at what I worked on tonight:
“So, you’ve been studying my face, have you?”
“Pretty much. Stalkerish I know, but there it is.”

Earlier today, I posted this about Outcast, a supernatural romance set in SHIFTER'S world: Emotional day. Outcast is really pulling on my heart strings. I'm doing this to my character, yet I hate the way she is being treated. Sigh. Here is a bit from the section I worked on today: "He wanted her to see him, to know that he was watching her, to maybe understand that he cared even if no one else seemed to."

Finally, just a few minutes ago, I posted this about the sequel to ALONE: Chapter 1 is in progress. Here is peak at what I worked on today: "The day after the crash, Will took a group of people to the site to investigate, but the remains of the plane and its cargo were beyond identifiable. If someone had tampered with the fuel line, engine, or anything else, there was no way of knowing."

Oh, I almost forgot. My editor and I are discussing my fourth book. I'm hoping it will be the ghost story, but if I can't get a final draft ready by at least the end of January, I'm going to go with one of the three novel's of which I have completed drafts. HIM is the one I'm looking over right this second. I'm about six chapters into the novel. I haven't been posting snippets from it because I don't think it will be my next book, but just in case, I'll start posting updates and excerpts from it with my next post.

Meet My Character Blog Tour: Meet Eve from ALONE

Thank you everyone for stopping by my blog. This is my fourth day on this tour. I want to start my post as always by thanking Emmy Gatrell for inviting me on this tour. Don’t forget to stop by her blog as you make your rounds. 

Today, I want to introduce you to Evelyn Elaine Hays, Eve for short, from my modern-day, post-apocalyptic novel set in the Deep South, around Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi. Before the sickness that killed every man, woman, and child on the planet, Eve was your typical college student. She lived near campus with her best friend, was madly in love her boyfriend, and only had a tentative idea of what she really wanted to do with her life. After the sickness, Eve became a mother, a doctor, a lover, a wife, a killer, a survivalist, and a leader. She didn’t fall into these roles easily, but she knew if she didn’t make the hard decisions, her world would cease to exist.

Eve’s main conflict and her personal goal throughout the novel are the same: survival. She has to survive a sickness that wipes out over 99% of the world’s population on top of scavenging for food and supplies. She has to survive herself. Fighting the urge to give up, to take her own life, isn’t easy in a world where everyone else is dead. She has to fight against those who have gone insane and who are bent on tearing down what is left of the old world or simply want to satisfy their primal needs before they parish. She has to survive miscarriages, as the sickness doesn’t wait until a person is in the world before it kills them. In order to survive all of this and become the leader her new world needs her to be, she has to learn to become strong, self-sufficient, brave.

Want to know how Eve becomes the woman her people need her to be? Pick up your copy of Alone today. The eBooks are only $3.99 at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Place, and Smashwords. To find out more about this novel, visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Weekend Writing Warriors - Sunday Snippet from SHIFTER

Thank you, everyone, for stopping by my first Weekend Writing Warriors’ Sunday Snippet post.

Today’s novel excerpt comes from chapter one of my supernatural romance, Shifter.

 “I’m well aware of how long I’ve been alone,” I growled. “Trust me. The empty    battery packs in the trashcan by my bed tell me exactly how long I’ve been alone.” Ha, I knew alluding to sex would shut her the hell up.

“T.M.I,” she shouted, and I heard her remove her earpiece in case I decided to expound a little more on what those batteries operate. I could tell she did this because the overly exaggerated gagging noises she made sounded muffled. I laughed at her. Score one for me.

Want to read more of this conversation, grab your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about me or this novel, peruse this cite or visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Alone II Daily Seak Peak

Right this moment, I'm feeling pretty good about Alone's next book . I've been able to do a little work on it this week, and I think I'm a couple hundred words away from having a full prologue. I wish I could do more work on this novel, but my ghost story is taking up too much of my brain right this second. :)  Here is an excerpt from what I wrote today:

"The day they arrived, their group had been half-starved, half-frozen, and a few of them were sick with the flu, not the sickness, just the simple flu. Or well, I shouldn’t say simple. These days, the normal flu is nearly as dangerous as the sickness."

Meet the Character Blog Tour: Meet Mave from SHIFTER

Thank you everyone for stopping by my blog. This is my third day on this tour. I’m so excited about doing this tour. I want to start my post by again thanking Emmy Gatrell for inviting me on this tour. Emmy's next character blog is live. Stop by her blog at Emmy Gatrell to meet her latest character. 

Today I want to introduce you to Mave from my modern-day supernatural romance, Shifter. Mave is the beautiful yet psychotic witch who curses Dimitri, a shapeshifter and the male lead of the novel, into a flea-bitten runt of a cat after he insults her by not calling her after their night together. Mave’s hometown or current residence is not known, but she spends a great deal of her time in Alabama stalking Abby, the woman who adopted Dimitri after Mave sent him to the pound in the hopes that he would be put down or at the very least neutered.

Not much is known about Mave, though it is obvious that she is desperate for male attention, which is a sign that she possibly has daddy issues, and is slightly on the delusional side. After one night of sex, she is completely taken with Dimitri. She takes him at his drunken word, believing that he, despite being inebriated, he has fallen instantly in love with her as she has with him. When she discovers he doesn’t even remember their night together, she curses him, and spends the rest of the novel trying to ensure he stays cursed.

Even though she is a bit obsessive and mentally unstable, she is powerful. She puts a curse of Dimitri that is so effective not even his parents can sense him or his power through their magical bound that helps all those in his pack communicate and one that no one can break.

Unfortunately, no matter how much power she has, her curse can’t stand up against love. When Mave discovers that Dimitri is falling in love with his new owner and the curse is weakening, she sets out to separate the two by any means necessary.

To find out what Mave does to Dimitri and Abby, pick up your copy of Shifter today at Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play. Want to know more about this novel, visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Stop by next Monday to meet another one of my characters from Shifter.

Dimitri Sullivan is the main male character in my supernatural romance novel, Shifter. Dimitri was born nearly two hundred and forty years ago in the Tennessee area where he has lived most of his life, but he spends most of his time in the novel in present day Alabama. 

Dimitri is at heart a family man. He is close to his two older brothers, Daniel Jr., Darius, Devan, and daily morns the death of his eldest brother, Daniel Jr. who died in a hunting accident years ago. All of the Sullivan boys along with most of their family/pack work for their father, Daniel Sr., at Sullivan’s Architects.

Until a having a one-night stand with a psychotic witch, Dimitri’s life had been easy and relatively calm. One month after that fateful night, Dimitri opened his front door to find the woman standing on his front porch in full-on crazy mode. A few misspoken words later and he found himself cursed, caged, and waiting outside the door of animal shelter miles away from his home.

Cursing his bad luck, bad judgment, and drunken hormones, he now has to find a way to free himself, break his curse, and get home. The only problem is that nothing he tries works until he meets a woman he believes he can fall in love with. Unfortunately, this woman might be falling for his older brother, Devan. Can he allow himself to do the one the thing the witch was sure he would never do, or will he let her fall into the arms of another man?

Find out how Dimitri breaks his curse and saves the woman he loves today by downloading your copy of Shifter. eCopies of Shifter and my first novel Alone are on sale this week for only $.99. Stop by Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, or Google Play today to download your copy. To find out more about this novel, visit me on Facebook, Goodreads, Pinterest, and Twitter.

Stop by next Monday to meet another one of my characters from Shifter.

Don’t want to wait a week to meet new and intriguing characters, then stop by Mardi Maxwell’s blog to meet Cade Ramsey from To Love and Obey the first book of her The Doms of Club Mystique.

Here is what Marti has to say about herself: “I was born in Utah but I've lived in sunny California, hot and dry west Texas, and the mountains of Colorado. I wrote and sent in my first book in 2013 and to my surprise it was accepted. Since then I've written three more books in The Doms of Club Mystique series.

When I'm not writing I'm reading, gardening, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends. I've just begun doing ceramics again (I'll post some of my projects on my blog) and I try to swim several times a week. The rest of my time is spent cleaning and refilling the birdbath and birdfeeders in my yard (greedy birds) and traveling.”:-)

After you leave Marti’s page, stop by Ashe Barker’s blog to meet Summer Jones from Rich Tapestry.

Ashe Barker says that, “Until 2010 I was a director of a regeneration company in Leeds, in the UK, before becoming convinced there must be more to life. So I left, and at last I’ve been able to realise my dream of writing erotic romance. I’ve been an avid reader of fiction for many years, erotic and other genres, and I still love reading historical and contemporary romances – the hotter the better. But now I have a good excuse for my guilty pleasure – research. In my own writing I tend to draw on settings and anecdotes from my own experience to lend colour, detail and realism to my plots and characters. An incident here, a chance remark there, a bizarre event or quirky character, any of these can spark a story idea. But ultimately my tales of love, challenge, resilience and compassion are the conjurings of my own lurid and smutty imagination. When not writing – which is not very often these days - my time is divided between my role as resident taxi driver for my teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, rabbits, tortoises. And most recently a very grumpy cockatiel. I’m a rural parish councillor, and I’m passionate about evolving rural traditions and values to suit twenty first century lifestyles. I write for Totally Bound and now have over a dozen titles on general release, with several more in the pipeline. A Richness of Swallows is my fourth trilogy in the Black Combe ‘family’. I also have a ‘May to September’ style novella out and short stories in the Paramour and Jolly Rogered collections, as well as a stand-alone novel in the ‘What’s Her secret?’ imprint. I have a pile of story ideas still to work through, and keep thinking of new ones at the most unlikely moments, so you can expect to see a lot more from me. I love to hear from readers. You can find me on my blog, and on the Totally Bound site. I’m on Facebook, and twitter. I’m on Pinterest too, and Goodreads.”
