Seven 11 Blog Hop ~ Seven Lines from 10 Years


Happy Sunday! The Seven 11 Blog Hop is a monthly feature, where participating authors share seven lines from their WIP on the 11th of the month.

This month, I'm offering a little tease from 10 Years, book 5 in the Time for Love series, which releases on Feb 3, 2015. If you didn't see last months hop, which also featured 10 Years, you can check it out here

*Remember, each book in the series can be read as a standalone*

Gwen's POV ~ this is an unedited draft

             Craig stepped back in front of me, blocking my way, and leaned his face down into mine, the anger practically vibrating off of him.
            “Don’t give me that double standard bullshit, if I thought for one minute you were drinking and sleeping with random guys because you were enjoying college and sowing your wild oats, or whatever the fuck you call it, I’d be all for it. I’d be your biggest damn champion… But we both know that’s not it. You’re doing this for my benefit, to punish me… And the shit of it is, I have no idea what I’m being punished for, but I can tell you one thing, you’re not happy. You know it, and I know it, and I just wish you’d wake the fuck up and let me help you.”
            His words pierced my skin and I suddenly felt like a cornered, injured animal, and all I wanted to do was fight back.

Don't forget to stop by the rest of the hop and see what these Awesome Authors are working on:

Blurb: 

A lot can happen in 10 years, and Gwen and Craig have been there for each other through it all, from meeting on the playground to juggling college finals. But their long-standing friendship hasn't been without its challenges.

Gwen keeps her emotions locked down tight, and when someone hurts her, she shuts down and shuts them out. Craig has always been her hero, but when one night leaves her broken, she realizes he has the power to hurt her the most.

Unable to get past Gwen's emotional barriers, Craig focuses on baseball and reaching for his dreams, but he misses his best friend. He wonders if he'll ever have the same relationship he did with the girl he met ten years ago.

When the barriers finally come down and their true feelings are revealed, will they finally become the couple everyone says they're destined to be, or will the darkness from Gwen's past tear them apart forever?

*Warning* This book contains some scenes that may be hard to read. This story is meant for readers 18 and older.




Excerpt ~ Gwen

His lips were softer than I’d ever imagined, and I’d imagined them a lot. At least once a day since I turned thirteen, maybe more.

I brought a hand up to touch his cheek gently, worried that too much movement on my part would bring him back to reality, and he’d pull away.

I could taste beer on his breath, but I didn’t mind. He moved closer, his hand on my back drawing me in so our chests touched. I took a sharp breath at the contact, amazed at how good it felt.

This was the first time I’d kissed, or touched another guy since that night with Brad at his party, but it was apples and oranges in comparison. With Craig I didn’t have one second of doubt, I knew I wanted his lips on mine, and now that I’d had a taste, I didn’t know how I’d ever be able to go back to the way things used to be.

I hoped he felt the same.

“Can I touch you, Gwennie?” Craig asked, his hand at the hem of my t-shirt.

His breath against my ear caused goosebumps to break out over my sensitive flesh.

“Yes,” I responded, my voice barely a whisper.

His hand was cool against my heated stomach and I shivered as he ran it up towards my breasts, which became heave in anticipation of his touch.




*This story is meant for readers 18 and older.

Happy New Year!


I wanted to drop a quick line to say Happy New Year to all! I hope your 2014 was a great year, and that 2015 will be even better!

Here's what I have going on:

I'm currently writing 10 Years, book 5 in the Time for Love series, which will release on Feb 3rd. (with the cover revealing on Jan 7th!) If you'd like to participate, you can sign up here.

I'm going to be a part of Losing It: A Collection of V-Cards, which is a box set featuring original, never before published scenes from your favorite YA novels. If you'd like to sign up for the reveal, you can do so here.

I'm also working on a children's book with my daughter Katie. She came up with the concept, and we have a first draft. The illustrations will be done by Hetty Mitchell, with the cover by the Fabulous, Regina Wamba of MaeIDesign. I'm so excited to be working on this project with my daughter, and cannot wait to share the story with you.

By the end of the year I will have book 6 in the Stories about Melissa series, Adiós, on the shelves.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, but these are the projects that I can tell you about with confidence that they will be completed and ready for you to enjoy in the coming months.

What are you most looking forward to this year?
