OCD and Phobias

  It was Halloween day…not the most convenient day to die by any means–especially not with young kids who wanted to be trick-0r-treating, but my husband came home to deal with the kids because I was sure I was dying. It was a heart attack or anaphylaxis or something related to my recent return to medicating my OCD. I couldn’t […]

OCD and Stigma

  A stigma is a social mark of disgrace associated with something or a negative set of beliefs assigned to a condition. Mental health has its own overriding stigma that can blanket someone dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Oh, you have a mental illness? Well, naturally, you’re unbalanced, out-of-control, and violent. One of my children has chosen to drop the autism […]

First 1000 words of Keeping Time

  Ruin hated the years he ended up in the hospital on New Year’s Eve. It should be easier to take the life of someone who was already dying, but being surrounded by others just waiting their turn seemed like a cruel trick the Fates played on him. It reiterated that Ruin wasn’t a benevolent helper every day of the […]

First 1000 Words of Taking Time

  Bored. “Bored. Bored. Bored.” And he had no confidence whatsoever that tonight would alleviate his condition. Tempus glanced around him at the mortals getting drunker and less interesting by the second. Why squander minutes, let alone hours, in this condition when both were numbered? Especially if you were Joseph Toulouse, age fifty-nine, in the ballroom of this quaint little […]

First 1000 Words of Stealing Time

  Hannah Lyons was living a charmed life—she’d escaped death thirty-seven times in the last three hundred and fifty-seven days. But Time was about to catch up to her—Time or, in German, Zeit, was nearly upon her… and about to give Hannah back her scarf which she’d dropped nearly as many times as he’d saved her life. Zeit snapped his […]

Giving Away Time in a Bottle

It’s been a while since I threw stuff at you guys, huh? But I’m trying to get you all jazzed about my Servants of Fate paranormal romance novella series that comes out in November, and, also, I FINALLY started up a newsletter list. (Dudes, do you have any idea how long I’ve been trying to start one? Years. YEARS.) *holds […]

Keeping Time: Servants of Fate #3

If you’ve been waiting for the soulful and deep romance in the series, this is it. This is the one that’ll rip your heart out and then shove it back in when it’s all over. (Did anyone else think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom there? Just me? Okay.) This is the last in the series at this point […]

Taking Time: Servants of Fate #2

Authors aren’t supposed to have favorite books in a series. It’s like picking a favorite child. (Which I do also…though it does vary.) Taking Time is my favorite book in the Servants of Fate world. Tempus is freaking hilarious to me. It’s being released on November 8th, but it’s currently available for preorder. (And it’s less expensive to preorder so […]

Stealing Time: Servants of Fate #1

Some of you might have read Stealing Time. It was released individually with a different publisher a few years ago and then it was in the anthology “The Naughty List.” It’s being rereleased on its own and with two sequels. Yay! Super yay! Super duper yay! The cover is extremely perfect.   Summary: Father Time’s son, Zeit Geist, must sacrifice […]

Covalent Bonds

Do you guys want to see the cover for one of the anthologies I’m in next year? I jumped to submit something to this anthology because this is very much what I love to read. Here’s the wrap for it so you can see what it’s about:   I wrote The Hacked Match for this…which was easily one of the […]
