“I saw him in a dream once.
And I didn’t know how,
but I knew he was the one for me.”
I didn’t know if it was
just a dream, or something more.
But, whatever it was,
I knew it was powerful.
And something I would never forget.
When the day came
that I finally met him,
I wondered why I ever
questioned it. He was
the one for me all along.

A little something
inspired by my book,
Stronger Than Blood.
“I didn’t know the true meaning
of sleep until I was in his arms.”
It was my favorite place to be, head resting over his heart, feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest, hearing the steady beat of his heart. When I awoke, still on his arms, I realized something important. I didn’t know the true meaning of sleep until I was in his arms.

A little something inspired by
my first novel, Just Breathe.
I’ve been feeling increasingly
nostalgic, itching to lose myself
in the ongoing story again.
“Dreamless sleep was like a dark place
that played like a lullaby without sound.”
Dreamless sleep was like being lost in oblivion. But it wasn’t frightening or terrible by any means. It was a dark place that played like a lullaby without sound. It was a slow beating of the heart, contentment, free from thought or stress.

A small excerpt from Listen,
book 4 of
the Earthen Witch Novels.
“With every cell in my body, every beat
of my heart, I knew I found my home.”
Our time together was a culmination of events that I couldn’t deny. I knew, if I didn’t love him before that moment, I fell over the edge into a bottomless ocean that was only for him. I knew I was never going back. So instead of speaking, I kissed him, hard. When my lips collided with his, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. And his arms tightened around me an instant later.
That was when I knew. With every cell in my body, every beat of my heart, I knew I found my home.

I knew I found my home.
An excerpt,
slightly adjusted for sharing,
from my first novel, Just Breathe.
Heya Lovelies,
“Everything is real. If you believe everything can be real — and I’ve yet to discover an instance where it hasn’t been true — then you can prepare for them.”

Heya Lovelies,
[Vlad’s] pupils flashed like a cat’s eyes against the overhead lights, marking him as one of the undead, and I froze.
Not because of the flash — I had seen that many times before on others like him.
It was why they flashed.
Though he was a vampire, he wasn’t dead. Blood still flowed through his veins by the
force of his slow-beating heart. But his widening pupils, however infinitesimal it was, caused them to flash. And that told me something excited him.
Something about me.

Heya Lovelies,
“None of what happened was your fault,” the vampire’s baritone, melodic voice said. “You are so much more than what happened to you.”

Heya Lovelies,
Connor’s entire aura shifted to red and he
straightened, eyes still fixated on my mouth. He took a deep breath and slowly looked back up at my eyes. “And stop doing that,” he growled.
