Another snippet from my upcoming May release from Whiskey Creek Press- DEATH BENEFITS.

I reached to the back of my head and then squinted at my hand, which seemed to be covered in an inordinately large amount of blood. I also noted that the water swirling into the drain was more crimson than clear.  Everyone knows that anatomically, the
skin on the head is a little on the thin side and physiologically the blood pressure in the head is slightly higher than it is elsewhere in the body.  It therefore seems reasonable to assume that a whole lot of blood can force its way out of a comparatively small wound.  Everyone also knows the reason so much blood is sent to the head is because the human brain needs so much energy. Judging by the volume I was losing, compounded by the rate of the flow, I had either sustained more than a small wound or my brain was the size of the Chicago Bean.

DEATH BENEFITS
Max Logan’s insecurities have consumed her to the point that she has allowed them to skew her perceptions of people and
circumstances. She has grown progressively more bitter, sarcastic, and solitary since her divorce and feels as though she has spent a lifetime getting the short end of the stick through no fault of her own; still she trudges on. Things can always get better, right? Of course, it’s hard to cultivate optimism when she finds herself dead; the victim of a D.I.E (Death in Error) caused by an
overeager Grim Reaper in Training. She brokers a deal to be sent back to Earth as a temporary substitute for the Superintendent of Spiritual Impediment. Can a girl who can’t recognize her own problems rectify the issues of the living impaired? Or will she discover that concentrating on their issues gives her a new perspective on her own?

Here is a snippet from my upcoming May release DEATH BENEFITS-

Have I mentioned that my half-sister and I look nothing alike? I’m as small, curvy, and dark, as Denise is tall, slim, and blonde. My hair is thick and wavy; hers is baby fine and poker straight. Even in shorts and a tee shirt she managed to look like she just walked out of a magazine. People rarely believe we’re related. And that’s even before I open my mouth.

Here are six from my upcoming May release, Death Benefits

I felt the cold caress of black Italian marble against my bare butt. I gasped for air while coughing and choking on the snootful of waterpouring up my nose from the Chastings Corque Corian Square Ceiling Mount Showerhead above me. My head screamed with the agony of a thousand jackhammers and over the scent of my Sensual Amber body wash, I smelled the sweet, copper
tang of blood. Excruciating pain had never felt so good. Hallelujah, I was back! But I was definitely going to need stitches.

Here are six from Angel on the Loose...my current WIP

Angel on the Loose
Earthbound angel Callista McAllister is finally free from over a century of captivity when everyone believed her dead. Now she struggles to prove herself to a world that has moved on without her and a man she’s never forgotten. Defensori Luca Fiorelli’s icy detachment is legendary; a trait valued by his allies and feared by his enemies. But Luca’s cold façade is a disguise he wears to hide his fear of trusting in love. She was once like a sister, but now that Calli is back, Luca realizes his feelings for her are anything but fraternal. Luca believes that love is simply a precursor to loss. Is Callista the woman who can change his
mind?

And now for the Six...
Calli felt the heat of his moist breath to the very marrow of her bones and she
sagged against him under the onslaught of the new and unfamiliar sensations. His nimble fingers worked at the clasp, freeing it in seconds, allowing her breasts to tumble free into his hands. He worshipped first one and then the other with his lips and teeth and tongue. A shiver rolled over her from head to toe. He picked up his head and smiled. An incredibly knowing smile that told her that he hadn’t missed her reaction; a smile that teased her with the promise of even more to come.
