I am the mama bear to four little kiddos, two girls, and two boys. I’m also a wife-to-be to my partner of ten years. We were high school sweethearts, without the high school. My little (big) family are my rock, and I’m so lucky to have them with me through it all.I am from New Zealand! Born and raised in a small town called Rotorua. It’s a beautiful city, just smells a little. I’m currently living in Australia on the Whitsunday Coast (Great Barrier Reef) where we hope to settle down for a long time. I love the beach, and margaritas, and wine. Don’t forget the wine. Chinese food is the best food. One day I hope to travel the world, preferably the US, because I’m obsessed with it. I would travel now, but my bank account is like...“Dude, no.” So I’ve put that in the goal bucket. I love all my beautiful readers, you have kept me going. You’re my inspiration to keep writing, with all your kind words and reviews. You are all amazing, and I write for you. That’s enough yappin’ from me. See you all in Wonderland. x</span></span></div>

A lot of my titles are starting out this way.So, I have a bone to pick, and it's time for another rant. This time it's with bloggers and so-called reviewers.<br />
<br />
<i>Oh God, she's going <b>there</b>!?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Damn right I am.<br />
<br />
I have been asked, quite a bit lately, for ARC's of Marlin's Faith in exchange for review and have been pretty straightforward and blunt lately with: It ain't never gonna happen.<br />
<br />
<i>But, whhhhhy?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Because when you send out 40 ARC's in exchange for reviews to various blogs and reviewers and you get a little more than half the reviews, and it ain't because they're coming back and saying "I didn't like the book and I don't want to leave you a bad review, so I just didn't write one." (Which happens sometimes, I get it.)<br />
<br />
What is that worth to me?<br />
<br />
Well let's see, $3.99 at the 70% royalty option = $2.74 a copy.<br />
<br />
x26 copies given with <b>no return</b> = $71.24 that could have gone into my pantry, paid my cell bill, could have kept my lights burning... yeah.<br />
<br />
Let's go one step further, selling my art for words on a page which may or may not sell more of my art.<br />
<br />
40 x $2.74= $109.60 or an entire month's worth of the prescription cat food I now have to buy for my geriatric kitty.<br />
<br />
I hear of authors sending out <i>hundreds </i>of ARC's and that shit blows my mind. I mean, do they not do the math?<br />
<br />
So the next time you ask for an ARC in exchange for review and get told no, or no thank you, I hope that you will be a little more gracious about it, like the ladies I've encountered lately. (Seriously, I <3 you for not being catty, you were disappointed but still vowed to buy the book and that's great.)<br />
<br />
Because bottom line, this is now how I am forced to make my living. No day job to fall back on anymore, and quite frankly, that's terrifying.<br />
<br />

<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Aye, aye, Captain.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Send Tiny back here,” I told him when he turned to tend to the task I’d set him. Atlas gave me a half assed grin and an even sloppier salute. He could tell when I was in a mood and this particular shit show put my mood square in the middle of the black. Tiny didn’t exactly have any fans around these parts and I think the club knew I was reaching the end of the line when it came to my patience with our SAA. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">Tiny came in and said, “Wanted to see me Cutter?” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">No fucking respect, this one. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Sit down,” I told him, tone cold. He scowled but complied. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“What’s up?” he asked, crossing his arms over his barrel chest. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“What did I tell you when you came to me about that girl from The Sacred Hearts’ Lake Run, and you told me what you’d done?” I demanded. He scowled. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Why the hell you bring that up now, Man? That shit’s over and done. It’s been in our rearview over a year now.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Answer the fucking question, Tiny,” I grated. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“You said if anyone came looking my ass was on the line and you’d put it to a vote.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Put what to a vote?” I demanded. I wanted to fucking make sure we were crystal goddamned clear this time. No mistakes. No fucking up. No Tiny going on his own fucking program. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“My standing as SAA and within the club, period. What the fuck, Man?”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“That’s fucking right, and guess fucking what?” I pointed in the direction of the open bar room door and dropped both feet to the floor, the flip flops slapping loud against the concrete. “Someone, and by the set of her I’d say some sort of LEO, just came looking!”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Oh Jesus Christ, Man! It’s been over a year, even if she was a fucking cop she ain’t got shit,” he tried to blow it off and I turned my pointing finger to a fist and brought it crashing down on the arm of my chair. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“You don’t get to decide that! Now I kept you on as a favor to Mac but this ain’t his club anymore. It’s <i>mine</i> and you have proven, time and fucking time again that you ain’t interested in falling in line and now you’ve put all of us, every single fucking one of us, in the goddamned hot seat! I told you, <i>consequences</i>, Man.” I crossed my arms while Tiny looked at me poleaxed. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“It ain’t nothing to make this bitch disappear too…”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Have you learned <i>nothing</i>?” I bellowed, “This isn’t some girl with no family! No, you sit your ass right there.” I pulled my phone out of my cut and dialed Marlin, my VP. He answered on the third ring. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Yo.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Marlin, Cutter, we have ourselves a situation. Get your ass and the rest of the council in here pronto.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“Can you give me a heads up, Man? How bad is it?”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“No; talk when you all get here.” I hung up. The entire dialogue my eyes were locked with Tiny’s watery blue ones and he looked positively mutinous. He was standing alone on the sentiment. Dumb fucking cunt. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“You’re really blowing this shit out of proportion, Cut.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-size: large;">“We’ll see what your brothers have to say about that.”</span> </span></div>

For one I've been both writing and editing on four projects and more at a time. Crazy right? Well I'm pretty sure this just might kill me, but I can at least give you a status update on each thing I've got going so here we go:<br />
<br />
<b>#1 - Cutter's Hope - The Virtues Trilogy Book I</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_hqLgaoCeyQ/Vm7l5jSqz6I/AAAAAAAABFY/xIUz1dkWYoU/s1600/cutters.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_hqLgaoCeyQ/Vm7l5jSqz6I/AAAAAAAABFY/xIUz1dkWYoU/s320/cutters.jpg" width="213" /></a><br />
<br />
It's written, it's edited, it's formatted, it's DONE and up for pre-order <a href="http://getbook.at/Virtues1" target="_blank">right now</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>#2 Biker Chicks - Volume 1</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hg6kfYSKQn8/Vm7mqPuMcbI/AAAAAAAABFk/tANtsDCD4fA/s1600/bikerchicks1%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hg6kfYSKQn8/Vm7mqPuMcbI/AAAAAAAABFk/tANtsDCD4fA/s320/bikerchicks1%2Bcopy.jpg" width="213" /></a> </b><br />
<b></b><br />
<br />
It's written, been edited, has it's cover art, has been formatted for e-book, and is in it's final stages of proofing with the authors before being formatted for print book as well. You can get your copy, as it is up for pre-order, <a href="http://getbook.at/BCv1" target="_blank">right here</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>#3 - There But For The Grace - The Angel's Grace Trilogy Book II</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DOhKwo4YxD4/Vm7lOygyQqI/AAAAAAAABFA/MpNUPThSL-0/s1600/TBFTG%2BPlaceholder.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DOhKwo4YxD4/Vm7lOygyQqI/AAAAAAAABFA/MpNUPThSL-0/s320/TBFTG%2BPlaceholder.jpg" width="213" /></a> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
It's written, in editing, cover art has been commissioned and I should see <i>that</i> by the end of this week. We have a target release date of March 8th, 2016 for this one, so keep an eye out for it.<br />
<br />
<b>#4 - Omega's Run - The Moonforged Trilogy Book II</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a6_TVxLsmmY/Vm7lwnBQywI/AAAAAAAABFM/EbpwS3glC84/s1600/omega%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a6_TVxLsmmY/Vm7lwnBQywI/AAAAAAAABFM/EbpwS3glC84/s320/omega%2Bcopy.jpg" width="213" /></a><br />
<br />
It's in the final stages of being written, will go immediately into edits, has it's cover art (obviously) and no target release date as of yet, but it's looking like tail end of winter/beginning of spring. We know you've been waiting a long time for this one, but life happens.<br />
<br />
<b>#5 - Marlin's Faith - The Virtue's Book II</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3-LY_-AhLJ0/Vm7nS4kE9lI/AAAAAAAABF8/5bHjtmW6wmI/s1600/marlin%2Bcopy.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3-LY_-AhLJ0/Vm7nS4kE9lI/AAAAAAAABF8/5bHjtmW6wmI/s320/marlin%2Bcopy.jpg" width="213" /></a></b><br />
<br />
It's halfway written with a target release date of sometime early spring, but that's all I have to report on it right now.<br />
<br />
<b>#6 - Biker Chicks - Volume 2</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HWwEo6V6Jn8/Vm7nlhyVSsI/AAAAAAAABGI/PE8KauEz4pc/s1600/12168967_10153772673916177_626274045_o.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HWwEo6V6Jn8/Vm7nlhyVSsI/AAAAAAAABGI/PE8KauEz4pc/s320/12168967_10153772673916177_626274045_o.jpg" width="212" /></a></b><br />
<br />
Now <a href="http://coveryourdreams.net/2015/10/16/biker-chicks-2/" target="_blank">taking submissions</a>! Please read the guidelines thoroughly and submit accordingly. If you want to submit, and see how the process is going behind the scenes, (it's mostly just a bunch of controlled chaos) then friend request me on Facebook and I'll add you to the Biker Chicks group. (My submission for this one is finished being written and heading into edits.)<br />
<br />
<b>#7 - Unnamed Time Travelly Piratey Thing - Stand Alone.</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qp9zyh0R9MA/Vm7opWl0xCI/AAAAAAAABGU/8QqbEAt2Tkg/s1600/pizap.com14501090711651.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qp9zyh0R9MA/Vm7opWl0xCI/AAAAAAAABGU/8QqbEAt2Tkg/s320/pizap.com14501090711651.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
Just finished shaking hands with co-author Eric Plume and taking the time out to do some cursory research with him to make this thing happen. It's starting to come together but we won't be writing on it until the following happens (at least on my end):<br />
<br />
1. Omega's Run is finished.<br />
2. Marlin's Faith is finished.<br />
3. A Coup de Grace - Angel's Grace Trilogy Book III is started and finished.<br />
(It will be started by the 2nd week in January.)<br />
4. Charity for Nothing - The Virtues Trilogy Book III is started.<br />
<br />
So, as you can see, I'm busy. What's more, is I'm overwhelmed. I am now going to go back to beating my face against my desk and wearing my fingers down to little nubbins. (LOL nubbins. That's a funny word.)<br />
<br />
See you guys later.<br />
<br />
XoXo<br />
A.J.<br />

<br />
It's another year, and another NaNoWriMo project! Except this year, because I got so behind on other projects, I have three going at once. Not just the NaNoWriMo project it's self. Though I am only counting There But For The Grace, book two in the Angel's Grace trilogy as my NaNoWriMo project, I am actually writing it, Omega's Run with Ryan Kells (the second book in the Moonforged trilogy,) and Marlin's Faith (the second book in the Virtues Trilogy) concurrently.<br />
<br />

The visual representation is so neat and pretty compared to the actual chaos that is ensuing in my brain. Adding to the crazy is the first two of these projects are co-written deals with two different people. It makes for interesting and fun times, I'm not even going to lie. I'm also not going to lie about the fact that I feel like my writing may be suffering just a scotch. However, my co-authors have made no comment on that and one of the reasons I work with them and love them so, is they would be upfront and tell me if they thought I could be, and should be, doing better. At least I like to think they would.<br />
<br />
As if three concurrent projects weren't enough on my plate this month, I am also running a weekly Monday day time write-in, co-hosting another weekly Wednesday evening write-in, organizing a post-NaNo workshop for people interested in self-publishing their NaNo projects, organizing Gifts for Geeks in December, and I have started work on the hosting duties of I <Heart> Books with the simultaneous launch party for Biker Chicks, slated for February.<br />
<br />
This would be why I have been neglecting my blog, mailing list, Facebook, Pinterest and any other social media outlets I have gone dark on and should be posting to.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will catch up by the end of the month and be able to be somewhat social again between the holidays. Wouldn't that be nice? At any rate. I have pretty much taken enough time away from pouring words onto one of these three projects, so I am going to get back to it. <br />
<br />
Much love,<br />

This time it’s just in time for my very favorite holiday, so I would like to welcome you all a little early to…<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
On tap for this event are several amazing authors, myself - A.J. Downey, Jeffrey Cook, Lee French, Sechin Tower, Tina Shelton, and a whole lot more. We’ll get to everyone in just a few. <br />
<br />
Once again, the AFK Elixirs & Eatery will be hosting and as far as venues go, this one has it all! Great food, amazing atmosphere, games, and a certain notoriety for not only welcoming you, but inviting you to stay for a long while and get to know everyone.<br />
<br />

The AFK E&E is conveniently located off Highway 167 at:<br />

<br />
Reading in the Dark will run from 2:00pm to 9:00pm in the back left of the restaurant. Just come in the front door, turn left past the Fireplace, carry on past the game rental area and you’ll find us! If that’s too difficult, just follow the bloody footprints on the floor…<br />
<br />
We’ll have a lot on offer back there, just have a look!<br />

<span style="color: red;">The Fireworks Novellas</span> – The Fireworks novellas are short (about 20-35K words) and spicy, duel POV New Adult romances with a touch of suspense. They all center around holidays throughout the year.<br />
<br />
The Fireworks novellas feature real characters facing real concerns that New Adults face – money problems, boring jobs, college choices etc. They have sensitive rather than aggressive heroes and strong but flawed heroines. The sex is always consensual and responsible, though sometimes a bit impulsive! The suspense elements of the stories come from current issues such as drugs, sex trafficking and cyber-stalking. The Fireworks series include racial, cultural, religious, gender or body diversity in the main couple as well as supporting characters.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">The Vikings of Vinland Saga</span> – The Vikings of Vinland Saga follows the story of twin sisters Katla and Gull Grímsdóttir, and their slave, Frey, as they escape from their brutal father and find their destinies in Medieval Europe and America.<br />

<span style="color: red;">Dragons In Pieces</span> - Bobby's life isn’t awesome, but he’s okay with it. One thrown punch cascades into a series of events that culminate with him discovering he has a superpower. A weird superpower. Not only that, but he’s just one of thirty-five new superheroes. How did it happen? Why are there men in dark suits trying to grab them all? What good are hundreds of tiny robot dragons?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">The Fallen </span>- A fortune teller and a Seer, Chavali has the gift of prophecy and a growing talent with crafting illusions. Jaded and cynical, nothing surprises her...until it does. Fate drags her kicking and screaming into a battle for the future of her people and forces her to deal with far too many idiots.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Damsel In Distress</span> - Swept into a high fantasy adventure that may save her even as it damns her, Sabetia must dig deep to find the courage to persevere--and to survive. She'll face demons of every kind imaginable as she learns that sometimes, damsels have to save themselves. Because no one else will.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Girls Can't Be Knights</span> - The Spirit Knights have been a boys’ club for a long time–over a thousand years. No one, not even Claire, believes it when she shows all the signs of becoming one. Worse yet, she has to dive into this ghost-hunting job before she can get access to the Knights’ toys. Fortunately, she has Justin to learn from. Brash and prone to dumb ideas, he can handle taking her under his wing. With a little luck, they both might survive long enough for her to learn it all.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Al-Kabar</span> - Without a Sultan, corrupt Fire Dancers and their pompous Caliphs abuse power and wage pointless wars across the parched sands of Serescine. The Waters choose only one Champion to stand against them, only one woman to serve justice on those who consider themselves above it. Fakhira might just settle for revenge. If she can survive long enough to dish it out.<br />

<br />
Arara, long-furred runt and joke of her pack, is dreading the upcoming hunt, where the young Jegera show off their strength by taking down one of the fearsome armored hukra by claw alone. Arara is terrified that her superstitious pack will tear her apart if they learn her secret, that she was born telepathic and telekinetic.<br />
<br />
With assassins and dark plots threatening the empire, Prince Se’ls and Arara must band together to save it, or perhaps to destroy it.<br />

She always thought that her grandfather would be there for her into adulthood and that her high school sweetheart, Jared, would be the man she would marry. That isn’t what happened though. Instead, her grandfather got sick and passed away before Dani saw the age of nineteen. It was just her and Jared until he hooked up with a local MC, The Suicide Kings… Then it was just her. Pig-Pen claimed her body, rules her life, but he would never hold her heart. Kept because of her looks and a particular set of skills unique only to her, Dani has been with The Suicide Kings for the last three years… three long damaging years. She hates it, all of it, the pain the humiliation, the fear… and as strong as Dani is, as clever as she can be, she is quickly finding that death may be the kinder, gentler option rather than live through any more of this hell. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

But for now, he’s a Suicide Kings prospect. Tasked with providing intelligence on the King’s inner workings to his real club, Thirteen has been slowly, quietly and carefully dismantling the King’s operation from the inside out. The situation is dangerous, good thing Thirteen is a dangerous guy but even he can’t be everywhere at once and a couple of missteps have cost the Sacred Hearts dearly. Doubly determined to finish this with no more wreckage or damage to the SHMC, Thirteen is blindsided by his heart when he lays eyes on Dani. A pretty, little thing with long black hair and striking blue eyes. She slays him with one look from her damaged soul and now Thirteen has tasked himself with two missions… Take down The Suicide Kings and get both Dani and himself out alive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The bigger question is, how can he get close to the VP’s Ol’ Lady as a Prospect and not get them both burned? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
“How the hell you get that?” he demanded. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
“Came through on my personal cell, someone mass-texted it. I
have so many goddamned contacts, I didn’t realize I still had anybody from the
club in it. No worries, my cover is secure. No one saw shit. I don’t leave
things like that lyin’ around.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
D grunted into the phone, “Cops‘re still sittin’ on us.
They still watching you?” he asked. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
“If by ‘you’, you mean The Suicide Kings, then yeah.
Unmarked tan cargo van when we pulled in from the run. It’s a good thing
Gordy’s a paranoid fucker and sweeps for listening devices on the regular.
Pretty sure they only got visual. They’ll get tired soon enough and fuck off
onto something bigger and better.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
“Yeah. With our history, they ain’t investigatin’ or cryin’
too hard about our plight.” Dragon sounded both tired and downright pissed off
at that. I didn’t blame him. Chandra deserved a lot better. Reave, too! Don’t
get me wrong. But as a brother, you expect this shit to happen. No women and no
children had been the SHMC motto from the beginning, even before our reformed
ways. We did some gnarly and seriously rancid shit back in the day. Guns,
drugs, gambling – you name it. But we always left the women and children out of
it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
No prostituting, no hitting. Rape was liable to get your
dick chopped off – which is why, no matter how fucking hard, no matter how
often the Suicide Kings tried to get me to join in on one of their trains, it
was no fucking dice. Because very rarely, if ever, were the chicks they were
fucking at all clear-headed or into it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
It bothered me, a whole fuck of a lot, the way these animals
treated their women and I found myself spilling it all. I told D everything
I’d seen going on, everything I could garner about their operation, in effect,
unburdening my soul from all the awful shit I’d been a party to in the name of
the greater good. In the name of spying out our enemy. He was quiet for a long
time on the other end and finally let out a sigh that made him sound like he
felt every single year and every single mile. It’d been weeks since I last
talked to him beyond a short text. The deeper I got in with these fuckers, the
more I was around them, the less opportunity there was for full on
communication. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
“Do you need out?” he asked. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
My thoughts drifted to Raccoon, to her sharp and calculating
stare as she’d passed me my face mask. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
“No man, I’m good. My work ain’t over yet. Not by a long,
flat, mile. It’ll be done when every one of these fuckers is in the ground and
the Suicide Kings ain’t nothin’ but the dust of fuckin’ memory.” </div>

This time it’s just in time for my very favorite holiday, so I would like to welcome you all a little early to…<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z2IZa4rqA40/Vfr6Wi_0nRI/AAAAAAAAA5M/XSetTDMXTCo/s1600/Reading%2Bin%2Bthe%2BDark%2B-%2BBorder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z2IZa4rqA40/Vfr6Wi_0nRI/AAAAAAAAA5M/XSetTDMXTCo/s400/Reading%2Bin%2Bthe%2BDark%2B-%2BBorder.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
On tap for this event are several amazing authors, myself - A.J. Downey, Jeffrey Cook, Lee French, Sechin Tower, Tina Shelton, and a whole lot more. We’ll get to everyone in just a few. <br />
<br />
Once again, the AFK Elixirs & Eatery will be hosting and as far as venues go, this one has it all! Great food, amazing atmosphere, games, and a certain notoriety for not only welcoming you, but inviting you to stay for a long while and get to know everyone.<br />
<br />

<br />
Reading in the Dark will run from 2:00pm to 9:00pm in the back left of the restaurant. Just come in the front door, turn left past the Fireplace, carry on past the game rental area and you’ll find us! If that’s too difficult, just follow the bloody footprints on the floor…<br />
<br />
We’ll have a lot on offer back there, just have a look!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;">The Fireworks Novellas</span> – The Fireworks novellas are short (about 20-35K words) and spicy, duel POV New Adult romances with a touch of suspense. They all center around holidays throughout the year.<br />
<br />
The Fireworks novellas feature real characters facing real concerns that New Adults face – money problems, boring jobs, college choices etc. They have sensitive rather than aggressive heroes and strong but flawed heroines. The sex is always consensual and responsible, though sometimes a bit impulsive! The suspense elements of the stories come from current issues such as drugs, sex trafficking and cyber-stalking. The Fireworks series include racial, cultural, religious, gender or body diversity in the main couple as well as supporting characters.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">The Vikings of Vinland Saga</span> – The Vikings of Vinland Saga follows the story of twin sisters Katla and Gull Grímsdóttir, and their slave, Frey, as they escape from their brutal father and find their destinies in Medieval Europe and America.<br />

<span style="color: red;">Dawn of Steam</span> – Dawn of Steam is a trilogy of alt-history, emergent Steampunk epistolary novels. It chronicles the adventures of Gregory Conan Watts and the crew of the airship Dame Fortuna: war heroes, respectable ladies, disreputable entertainers, and a wilderness guide of debated sanity. From 1815 to 1819, they face the historic Year Without a Summer, dangers on six continents, and vast imperial conspiracies in a world in transition between the Napoleonic wars and a new age of enlightenment. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Mina Cortez: From Bouquets to Bullets</span> – She never said “I want to join the Secret Police when I grow up.” Mina Cortez hadn’t even known there were secret police. But after trading her ambition to be a ballerina for resignation that she’d be a florist, she found herself neither – riding through a post-post cataclysmic Seattle on the trail of smugglers, kidnappers and murderers.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Sound & Fury: Shakespeare Goes Punk</span> – Punk Writers present a most curious and notable book! Sound & Fury: Shakespeare Goes Punk. We took the bard and shook him up with the punk genres of literature. Steampunk, cyberpunk, anything punk! Find renditions of such tales as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merchant of Venice, The Winter’s Tale and much more. All decidedly more exciting and more adventuresome than their original inspirations!<br />

<span style="color: red;">The Fair Folk Chronicles</span> – Normality was always a struggle for Megan O’Reilly, a 16 year old artist with ADHD. But when she finds out her long-lost father is a Faerie king – and now more lost than usual – normality isn’t even an option. Somehow, living in a faerie story is a lot more complicated than Megan would have ever thought.<br />

<span style="color: red;">Dragons In Pieces</span> - Bobby's life isn’t awesome, but he’s okay with it. One thrown punch cascades into a series of events that culminate with him discovering he has a superpower. A weird superpower. Not only that, but he’s just one of thirty-five new superheroes. How did it happen? Why are there men in dark suits trying to grab them all? What good are hundreds of tiny robot dragons?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">The Fallen </span>- A fortune teller and a Seer, Chavali has the gift of prophecy and a growing talent with crafting illusions. Jaded and cynical, nothing surprises her...until it does. Fate drags her kicking and screaming into a battle for the future of her people and forces her to deal with far too many idiots.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Damsel In Distress</span> - Swept into a high fantasy adventure that may save her even as it damns her, Sabetia must dig deep to find the courage to persevere--and to survive. She'll face demons of every kind imaginable as she learns that sometimes, damsels have to save themselves. Because no one else will.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Girls Can't Be Knights</span> - The Spirit Knights have been a boys’ club for a long time–over a thousand years. No one, not even Claire, believes it when she shows all the signs of becoming one. Worse yet, she has to dive into this ghost-hunting job before she can get access to the Knights’ toys. Fortunately, she has Justin to learn from. Brash and prone to dumb ideas, he can handle taking her under his wing. With a little luck, they both might survive long enough for her to learn it all.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Al-Kabar</span> - Without a Sultan, corrupt Fire Dancers and their pompous Caliphs abuse power and wage pointless wars across the parched sands of Serescine. The Waters choose only one Champion to stand against them, only one woman to serve justice on those who consider themselves above it. Fakhira might just settle for revenge. If she can survive long enough to dish it out.<br />

<br />
Prince Se’ls, one of the magical flower Kin and only child of Queen Se’uan, has a terrible secret – he has no magic. Forced by his mother, the Queen, to tour the empire to search for his magical companion, Se’ls is terrified of returning home empty handed.<br />
<br />
Arara, long-furred runt and joke of her pack, is dreading the upcoming hunt, where the young Jegera show off their strength by taking down one of the fearsome armored hukra by claw alone. Arara is terrified that her superstitious pack will tear her apart if they learn her secret, that she was born telepathic and telekinetic.<br />
<br />
With assassins and dark plots threatening the empire, Prince Se’ls and Arara must band together to save it, or perhaps to destroy it.<br />

Seattle law student Levi Borovski has been ceremonially dispatched from his family home to “get over himself” as his mother not so politely puts it. For the last year he’s been experimenting with living by orthodox Jewish traditions and it’s driven his liberal secular parents crazy. To make matters worse, the nice Jewish medical student for whom he put in all this effort has just gotten engaged to someone else. Why Levi’s mother thinks spending Mardi Gras in New Orleans will improve his mood is something of a mystery, but at this stage he’s pretty much ready to try anything. So when his frat buddies ditch him to take off on some drug dealer’s riverboat Levi is left to his own devices in the Big Easy, determined, despite everything to let the good times roll.<br />
<br />
Charlotte Gibbs doesn’t exactly hate her demeaning job as a lap dancer in the high end French Quarter gentlemen’s club, Objections. It’s good money and the attention she gets from her mostly rich lawyer clientele satisfies her ego enough that her perpetual singlehood no longer feels like a voodoo curse. Tourists can be a pain though, and Mardi Gras week is especially bad. Still, a hard-working girl like Charlotte is entitled to have a little fun sometimes. So when an adorably drunk but sincere West Coast college boy invites her for a drink, Charlotte decides to take a chance.<br />
<br />
Neither of this mismatched set of misfits imagines that the magic of Mardi Gras will rub off on them in quite such a sexy, dramatic and life changing way. When the sun comes up on New Orleans will they find a way to make this unexpected magic last?

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She
tastes like lime and sugar, and her mouth is warm and soft. My cock throbs as I
think about what other parts of her might be warm and soft, too. Just when I
think I might slide down on the ground with her legs wrapped around me, she
pulls back. I sneak a look down at her cleavage which is moving up and down as
she breathes heavily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“So…what’s
your hotel like?” She looks back over my shoulder to the hotel a block away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“It’s
nice. Pretty quiet. Quaint, I guess you’d say. It’s decorated with antiques and
stuff.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She
looks up at me through her eyelashes, nodding, a twinkle in her eye. “And your
room? That’s nice?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Yeah,
good. It’s like a two-bedroom suite, because I came with two friends. So they
let me have the bigger room because I organized the trip. There’s a balcony
over Bourbon Street. It’s pretty cool.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She
nods some more, her mouth slowly breaking into a grin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Oh
God,” I say. “I really suck at this. You’re looking for an invitation, right?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Unless
you feel strongly about another cocktail.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Hell,
no.” I grab her hand and we practically run the block and half back to the
LaFleur. By the time we get there, we’re out of breath and laughing. And I
can’t quite believe what’s happening. I’m glad I didn’t have another cocktail.
This is the kind of situation that can go south in about a thousand different
ways when too much alcohol in involved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I
sneak a little kiss as I dig the key out of my pocket.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The
doorman looks up as we walk in. I wink at him and lead Charlotte to the
staircase.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Boy,
you been gone <i>five</i> minutes!” he calls
after us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Charlotte
trails her hand along the wooden bannister as we climb up to the second floor.
“I’ve walked past this place about a thousand times, and I’ve always wanted to
see inside.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Is
it what you expected?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“It’s
clean,” she says pausing at the top of the stairs to look at a painting of a
pirate. “I dunno. I think I expected these places to be like haunted houses or
something. All old and dusty.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I
tug her across the landing to the door of our suite. “Not haunted at all. We
even have WiFi.” I pause as I unlock and open the door, taking her hand. This
whole situation is so crazy and surreal, I need to make sure I don’t epically
screw it up. “I want you to know something,” I say. “I’m not one of those guys
who thinks that just because a girl comes to your hotel room, it means she
agrees to sex.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Charlotte
grins and touches the tip of her nose onto mine. “But I </span><i style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">do</i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"> agree to sex.” She grabs the front of my shirt and pulls me
through the door, slamming it behind us.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The concept was scary but exciting... <br /><br /> Marry a total stranger. <br /><br /> Live together for six months. <br /><br /> Journal everything. (Feelings. Fights. All of it.) <br /><br /> After six months, we each get $50K in trade for our journals, whether we stay married or not. But the goal is to commit to the experience and see if the relationship experts could put together the perfect matches. <br /><br /> I have never been lucky in love. This was my chance to find my soulmate. <br /><br /> I couldn’t wait to meet the man the experts felt was perfect for me. <br /><br /> My hopes were immediately dashed when I saw him at the altar. <br /><br /> Shit. I married my worst nightmare. <br /><br /> Right?!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls that try to tame them and win their hearts. My debut series, Ashes & Embers, follows the lives of rock band members as they find, and sometimes lose, the loves of their lives.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Addy's boss has been <strong>murdered.</strong> She's next. She's been folded into something that supernatural forces want, and it looks like she'll have <strong>no choice</strong> in the matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
Tab's been through <strong>hell</strong> to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen - literally. The red-winged Angel of Free Will cares vehemently about <strong>individual agency</strong> in human destiny. How much he cares about Addy herself may be another thing entirely, but at any rate, she has a better chance with him than with the rest of the Angelic family, <strong>Fallen</strong> or otherwise. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
In a run for her life and a race in which the involvement of the <strong>Devil</strong> himself is considered among the least of their worries, Addy must find enough moments of calm to unfold the <strong>Angel's Grace</strong> inside, her, learn from the visions it provides, and find the keys to <strong>Heaven </strong>and Hell. </div>

Y’know it’s funny, Tab expecting me to choose my own destiny
and all. I guess it was fine, all well and good when choosing my own destiny
aligned with what <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">he</i> wanted, but if
Michael were telling the truth—which why wouldn’t he be?—then Tab would just as
easily and readily kill me as either the Angels or Demons in this power
struggle of theirs. So you know what? Fuck it. It didn’t really matter anymore
did it? No matter what I did at this point I was a dead woman walking. Piorre
trusted me with this, of that much I was certain, but maybe he shouldn’t have.
Not saying that I was untrustworthy, just saying that right then, at that
point, I just didn’t think I could do it. I just wasn’t strong enough. I pretty
much figured that the best I could do at this point was try to figure out this
Grace shit, get the location of these keys, and go from there on who I would
hand them to...</div>

I'm so thrilled to celebrate the release of the next book in the <em>The City of Dark Pleasures</em> series, <a href="http://amzn.com/B0112O4X96"><strong>The Amber Columns</strong>.</a>

But first a reminder about book I, <strong><a href="http://amzn.com/B00RZMVQFO">The Obsidian Stairway</a></strong>:</h2>
<a href="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/blurb.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blurb" class="alignleft wp-image-316" height="150" src="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/blurb.jpg?w=549" width="100" /></a><em>When O’Mara is assigned to report on a new sexual service in the City of Dark Pleasures -- one that has been the subject of much gossip -- she’s not sure what to expect. What she finds there only reminds her of all that has been lost in The Expiation. </em>
<em>She meets Tully -- handsome, attentive, mysterious and unlike any “servant” O’Mara has met in the Pleasures. His extraordinary service is about to allow her to experience a level of intimacy she has only ever imagined.</em><br />

<h2>
And now, here's a little synopsis of <strong><a href="http://amzn.com/B0112O4X96">The Amber Columns</a>:</strong></h2>
<em>Tully:</em>
<em> </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Sex is what we sell in the City of Dark Pleasures. To work here you need to sequester your emotions, your humanity, your soul if there’s such a thing. If you don’t you’re in danger of losing it all together, permanently.</em>
<em> </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>For someone like me, my damaged soul is all I have left. I try to slip it off like a coat when I work, and most of the time I can. Most of the time no feelings at all come into what I do. But there are times I weaken, times when patrons get to me either for good or ill. Mostly ill.</em>
<em> </em><br />
<a href="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/ac-teaser-2-copy.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="ac TEASER 2 copy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-591" height="300" src="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/ac-teaser-2-copy.jpg?w=200" width="200" /></a><em><br /></em>
<em>Once a woman I met got inside me like no one has. It wasn’t love, but it was as close as I will ever be. O’Mara was her name. O’Mara Tanner. Every morning I read her byline on the Island News Service. She writes about fluff—places to shop, entertainments to see. She wrote about me once. It was all lies, but I don’t hold that against her. Our civilization is built on lies. The brief time we spent together was all lies.</em>
<em> </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Sometimes I think I would give up everything just to have O’Mara Tanner lie to me again.</em><br />
<br />
<em>O’Mara:</em><br />
<em> </em><br />
<em>It’s only at night that I’m scared of him. During the day I think about his golden eyes, his warm skin and his velvety voice to the point of distraction. I could lose my job if I don’t get my shit together. A lost job means a lost income. If I can’t pay my rent I could lose my citizen status. And then what? Then I join him, working in the Pleasures?</em>
<em> </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>I could go and see him. I should go and see him. I can find the money somewhere and go and get him to hook me up to that infernal machine of his and lose myself in his beautiful dreamscape. The one in which we are lovers. If I can just spend another moment in that forlorn and hopeless dream I might be able to get him out of my system.</em>
<em> </em><br />
<br />
<em>As it is I’ve been masturbating until my fingers ache, and the skin of my clitoris is burning and raw. Whenever I climax I hear his voice, saying my name. Or I say his name</em><em> </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>"Tully…”</em>
<em> </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Maybe before the Expiation people knew that the love of a good man was a powerful, devastating intoxicant. It weakens you, distracts you, makes you prone to obsessive thoughts and lost productivity. Maybe that’s why they did it. To increase productivity.</em>
<em> </em><br />
<em><br /></em>
<em>Love must be the most potent force on earth, if it can fuck you up even when you know it’s not real.</em>
<br />
<h2>
<strong>And here's a smoking hot excerpt:</strong></h2>
Tully pushes me against the glass and kisses me.
It’s nothing like our previous kisses. He’s possessed by a kind of madness, a frenzy, his hands tearing at my clothes. Soon his fingers are caressing my breasts, pushing my bra out of the way so he can knead and pinch my nipples.<br />
<br />
I would say something, something like <em>fuck, yes</em> but his tongue has captured mine, our lips so firmly connected together that it’s as though we have become one person.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/ac-teaser-1-copy.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="ac TEASER 1 copy" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-590" height="300" src="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/ac-teaser-1-copy.jpg?w=200" width="200" /></a>One of his hot hands slips down my stomach under my skirt into my panties. From the corner of my eye I see one of the couples strolling past the candy shop. They turn momentarily, glancing at us with amused expressions before continuing on.<br />
<br />
I gasp, whimpering as Tully’s fingers find the wetness and need between my legs.<br />
<br />
“Stop?” he says onto my lips.<br />
<br />
“NO! Fuck no.”<br />
<br />
He begins to move his lips down my body into my cleavage, among the mangled folds of my shirt and bra. His lips close tightly on one nipple, then the next, a maddening distraction from what is happening further down.<br />
<br />
Tully has found the button and zip of my skirt and undone them both. My skirt falls to the ground.<br />
<br />
Out on the promenade another couple wanders past—both men. They laugh as they disappear out of sight. I find myself wishing they would stay and watch. I want the whole world to see this.<br />
<br />
Tully kneels at my feet, his fingers sliding my panties down to fall in the pool of my skirt. Then he lifts one of my legs and slings it over his shoulder. His lips press on the mound of my sex as his fingers stroke my pubic hair, parting me.<br />
<br />
“Oh, <em>fuck</em>…” I say.<br />

would turn out like this. She always thought that her grandfather would be
there for her into adulthood and that her high school sweetheart, Jared, would
be the man she would marry. That isn’t what happened though. Instead, her
grandfather got sick and passed away before Dani saw the age of nineteen. It
was just her and Jared until he hooked up with a local MC, The Suicide Kings…
Then it was just her. Pig-Pen claimed her body, rules her life, but he would
never hold her heart. Kept because of her looks and a particular set of skills
unique only to her, Dani has been with The Suicide Kings for the last three
years… three long damaging years. She hates it, all of it, the pain the
humiliation, the fear… and as strong as Dani is, as clever as she can be, she
is quickly finding that death may be the kinder, gentler option rather than
live through any more of this hell. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hearts man. But for now, he’s a Suicide Kings prospect. Tasked with providing
intelligence on the King’s inner workings to his real club, Thirteen has been
slowly, quietly and carefully dismantling the King’s operation from the inside
out. The situation is dangerous, good thing Thirteen is a dangerous guy but
even he can’t be everywhere at once and a couple of missteps have cost the
Sacred Hearts dearly. Doubly determined to finish this with no more wreckage or
damage to the SHMC, Thirteen is blindsided by his heart when he lays eyes on
Dani. A pretty, little thing with long black hair and striking blue eyes. She
slays him with one look from her damaged soul and now Thirteen has tasked
himself with two missions… Take down The Suicide Kings and get both Dani and
himself out alive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

forgone the beer in favor of a bottle of water. Another thing that set him

was okay. I knew that I </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">could or would never be with Thirteen,
but having him around had become a little ray of light in an otherwise darkened
room. Maybe it was foolish to hope or to dream at this stage but I couldn’t
help but believe that with a guy like Thirteen around the club, maybe, just
maybe things could get better. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“What you smiling about?” Skid asked me
as he bellied up to the bar. I startled, had I been smiling? I glanced at the
older biker and he raised an eyebrow under his faded black do-rag. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“I don’t know…” I frowned and flailed
helplessly inside my head for a convincing lie, “I was just thinking about a
piece I was going to try and create. I think I have all the pieces now.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Skid chuckled, “It’s good to see you
smile Rac. How ‘bout you get me a beer? One of them ones with the orange dude
on the label.” He turned on his stool and started talking to Thirteen who had
been grinning like an idiot behind his back but who quickly schooled his
features into neutrality before Skid turned. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I rolled my eyes at Thirteen behind
Skid’s back and got Skid the bottle he asked for, popping the top. I set it on
the bar by his hand and he picked it up and drank, never breaking his stride as
the two of them spoke bike. I was simply nothing more than furniture again
which I didn’t like but at the same time was definitely the lesser of two
evils. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Pretty soon Gordy, Pipes and Cooter
came in from the front of the club and I was serving them up drinks when
Pig-Pen and Griz made their arrival. The rest of the guys started to trickle in
from the front or the back lot and girls started coming intermixed with the
guy’s arrival. The party was in full swing the sky dark outside when Gordy
swore and pounded his fist on the bar. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“God damn fucking son of a bitch!” he
bellowed, looking at the lighted screen on his phone. Griz shoved down on the
head of the strung out broad sucking him off and she choked, struggling. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“What is it now?” he demanded and let
her up. She stood up disgusted and stumbled towards the bathrooms. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Trouble!” Gordy declared, “But if we
all go now we might make it, Ace and Deuce are holed up at the North West safe
house, says Sacred Hearts have ‘em pinned down, four of ‘em.” Griz stood up and
tucked himself back in his pants doing up his jeans. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Boys! We’re goin’ huntin’!” he yelled.
A cheer went up and I swallowed hard, Thirteen stood. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Not you!” Gordy stabbed a finger at
him. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Take Coon to your place and keep her locked
down. She’s our last bet on making any god damned money.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Thirteen raised an eyebrow, “I live in
a cabin with no electricity!” he declared. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“So fucking what!?” Pig-Pen called,
“Don’t care if she’s comfortable, so long as she can produce. Don’t be god
damned pussy over her pussy!” <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Thirteen gave a shrug and I gathered my
purse. The guys were all going out the back door to the parking lot where they
kept their bikes I could already hear some of them firing up. Dredd and Flyer
were chasing out the club sluts, which truthfully there weren’t many left
hanging around since the club’s drug supply started drying up. I came around
the bar and Pig grabbed me by the elbow, hard. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“You’re my bitch, so don’t be getting
any ideas about spreading those whore legs of yers for Pretty boy over there,”
he muttered savagely in my ear, his breath washing over me, a fetid mixture of
whiskey and cigarettes with an overlay of just plain rot. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“I wouldn’t dream of it.” I plastered
on a fake as hell sincere smile, “I know who takes care of me,” I said. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Damn right.” And as if to prove his
point he shoved his mouth against mine and his tongue in my mouth all the while
looking daggers at Thirteen. I gave little resistance. I didn’t want or need
any bruises except the ones that were likely imprinted on my arm from where he
gripped me, besides that, I’d learned a long, long time ago that resistance was
futile and only hurt more in the end. Pig-Pen finally broke the kiss and thrust
me in Thirteen’s direction before going out the door. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“You good to ride?” he asked. I nodded
grimly. I just wanted outside so I could spit. Thirteen grabbed my coat off the
hook in the wall behind the bar and handed it to me and I shrugged into it. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“C’mon.” he put a hand on my shoulder
and made like he was shoving me in front of him out the door, though his grip
on my shoulder was light, not painful. He put on his helmet and glasses sitting
astride his bike. I put on the spare and with one final brave smile at Pig who
was glaring at me and standing with Griz and Gordy I got on behind Thirteen. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

I'm so thrilled to reveal the beautiful new cover to the next book in the <em>The City of Dark Pleasures</em> series, <strong><a href="http://amzn.com/B0112O4X96" target="_blank">The Amber Columns</a> by Bibi Rizer.</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
But first a reminder about book I, <strong><a data-mce-href="http://amzn.com/B00RZMVQFO" href="http://amzn.com/B00RZMVQFO">The Obsidian Stairway</a></strong>:</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/blurb.jpg?w=549" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="blurb" border="0" class="alignleft wp-image-316" data-mce-src="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/blurb.jpg?w=549" height="137" src="https://bibirizersblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/blurb.jpg?w=549" width="91" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">When O’Mara is assigned to report on a new sexual service in the City of Dark Pleasures -- one that has been the subject of much gossip -- she’s not sure what to expect. What she finds there only reminds her of all that has been lost in The Expiation.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">She meets Tully -- handsome, attentive, mysterious and unlike any “servant” O’Mara has met in the Pleasures. His extraordinary service is about to allow her to experience a level of intimacy she has only ever imagined.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; line-height: 24px;">And now, here's a little synopsis of what's to come in <b><a href="http://amzn.com/B0112O4X96" target="_blank">The Amber Columns</a></b>:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><i>Tully:</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> Sex is what we sell in the City of Dark Pleasures. To work here you need to sequester your emotions, your humanity, your soul if there’s such a thing. If you don’t you’re in danger of losing it all together, permanently.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> For someone like me, my damaged soul is all I have left. I try to slip it off like a coat when I work, and most of the time I can. Most of the time no feelings at all come into what I do. But there are times I weaken, times when patrons get to me either for good or ill. Mostly ill.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> Once a woman I met got inside me like no one has. It wasn’t love, but it was as close as I will ever be. O’Mara was her name. O’Mara Tanner. Every morning I read her byline on the Island News Service. She writes about fluff—places to shop, entertainments to see. She wrote about me once. It was all lies, but I don’t hold that against her. Our civilization is built on lies. The brief time we spent together was all lies.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> Sometimes I think I would give up everything just to have O’Mara Tanner lie to me again.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"><i>O'Mara:</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> It’s only at night that I’m scared of him. During the day I think about his golden eyes, his warm skin and his velvety voice to the point of distraction. I could lose my job if I don’t get my shit together. A lost job means a lost income. If I can’t pay my rent I could lose my citizen status. And then what? Then I join him, working in the Pleasures?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> I could go and see him. I should go and see him. I can find the money somewhere and go and get him to hook me up to that infernal machine of his and lose myself in his beautiful dreamscape. The one in which we are lovers. If I can just spend another moment in that forlorn and hopeless dream I might be able to get him out of my system.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> As it is I’ve been masturbating until my fingers ache, and the skin of my clitoris is burning and raw. Whenever I climax I hear his voice, saying my name. Or I say his name.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> “Tully…”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> Maybe before the Expiation people knew that the love of a good man was a powerful, devastating intoxicant. It weakens you, distracts you, makes you prone to obsessive thoughts and lost productivity. Maybe that’s why they did it. To increase productivity.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Bitstream Charter, Times, serif;"><span style="line-height: 24px;"> Love must be the most potent force on earth, if it can fuck you up even when you know it’s not real.</span></span><br />

The Busy Authorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06436661456524769835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587563156796429360.post-64011723395902577702015-07-02T16:48:00.001-07:002015-07-02T16:48:14.863-07:00It's a day in... and already I have to rant!
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have gotten a lot of messages
and some seriously fired up responses about killing off characters in the fifth
installment of the SHMC series. Some of the reviews that have been left have
been pretty entertaining, some of them have been downright special, but all of
them have the same theme: “Oh my God! You wretched bitch! How could you!?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well! Oh my God! If you only
knew what I had to go through to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">write</i>
Fractured & Formidable this way, some of you might be a little more
understanding. It was bad, ladies and gentlemen, it was really bad. I argued
with the specific character for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">weeks.</i>
The secondary characters I was a bit meh about, but the main character, oh good
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lord</i> the knockdown, drag out,
internal screaming matches inside my head were to a level that I came down with
some very real physical headaches. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To give you an idea, I wrote
Fractured & Formidable in its entirety and I wrote it so the character in
question lived… I really did! Then I got half way through the next and final
book in the SHMC series and had to come to a screeching halt because the
character in question put their foot down. I went back to Fractured &
Formidable and ripped out the entire back half of the book. When I say the
entire back half I mean I deleted chapters nineteen through thirty-two, the
only thing that got saved was the epilogue. I then rewrote the entire back half
of the book according to the character’s wishes and what do you know? The book
came out so much better for it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Then, not even going to lie, I
spent a week on my couch in my pajamas barely talking to my fiancé while he
kept the Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream
coming. If he judged, he did it silently and with no outward signs he was doing
so. That’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">love</i>, people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Unfortunately, my day job
wouldn’t let me wear the black arm band for a month in remembrance but what the
fuck do they know about it anyways? I was in mourning and, to be completely
honest, I still haven’t found all of the pieces of my broken heart. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It may have killed a part of y’all to read it,
but these guys live in my heart and in my head twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week. To suddenly have that voice go silent, to never hear from them
again… then to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">know</i> and be the only
one <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to </i>know for months and months and
months before I could release it, suffering in silence, knowing how many people
I was about to devastate… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yeah, I understand you might be
angry, hurt and heartbroken but does that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">really
</i>necessitate a one star review?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Seriously. Just wondering. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hey everybody,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So you might have noticed that
I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks. My apologies, but a lot has been
going on in my camp that isn’t writing related but has most definitely had an
effect on it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">First off, on Monday, June 8<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>,
2015 I quit the job I have had for the last three years as a corporate security
specialist with a company contracted to amazon. I did it suddenly. I finished
out my shift, called my supervisor and told him I wouldn’t be returning. I
showed some pretty great restraint by not just walking off the job that
morning. I have to tell you, even though it wasn’t my style to leave a job
without doing the full two weeks’ notice, it was the best decision I could have
made for myself given the circumstances. A huge weight has been lifted from my
shoulders. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was like leaving a three
year long abusive relationship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now, that being said, I didn’t
leave without a plan in place. Not a lot of people know, that for the last
year, I’ve worked <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">three</i> jobs. My full
time Monday through Friday security job, I’ve been a full time author and I
also did part time weekend / seasonal work for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">another</i> security company. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, when I left the
aforementioned Monday through Friday gig, I immediately went to work for the
second security company full time. The schedule was a hard shift from having to
be awake at 06:00 to having to be at work at 06:00. Additionally, I went from
doing corporate security to a much more attention intensive position as
security at a cargo facility. Port security and Corporate security, while both
security positions are two completely different animals. It’s like comparing a
lion and a tiger. While both of them are cats… yeah. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I’ve been at the new job a
full week as of yesterday. I’ve already pulled at least one double shift and
worked at least one of my days off, and I have to say. I am much, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">much </i>happier here. I feel like I have
purpose again. I am respected and appreciated by my supervisors and my
coworkers. We take care of each other out here and it’s a beautiful thing… it’s
just been requiring a lot more of my time until I settle into the new groove of
things. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I know I owe three of you swag
packs and I am hoping to get them out by Friday of this week (June 19, 2015)
and I am so sorry for the long delay. I will begin picking up on making
takeovers and more appearances both online and in person, likely starting in
late July / early August, just to give myself plenty of breathing room. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have several completed books
that are working their ways through the editing process. Books that are set for
release all the way up through January of 2016, so I have time to get back on
track with planned writing projects soon and there won’t be any interruptions
in publication. (Basically: Don’t worry, your entertainment reading crack
supply from A.J. Downey will go uninterrupted.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I miss you guys. I miss talking
with you and interacting with you on a daily basis and I promise you, I am
still here. If you need or want to message, I will still always answer. I just
might take a little longer to reply. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That being said, I feel really
excited, almost exhilarated about this new life change of mine. Changing jobs
is sometimes a scary prospect, even more so when you do things like take a pay
cut to do it, like I did. Still, in the long run, this will be much better for
me, mentally, emotionally and by default from those two things alone,
physically. I’m looking forward to the new adventures ahead with this new
company and with my writing, so stay tuned. I may go quiet but I am, for sure,
not going anywhere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Much love, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">XoXo</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A.J. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 24pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>

<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
"I wouldn't," he drawled from the front seat in a
threatening tone. I looked up into the rearview mirror. Deep brown eyes,
intense, brooding, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">very </i>unfriendly
were illuminated by the headlights from the oncoming traffic. I met their
reflection with a grim resignation. I had nothing on him size wise. Nothing at
all. I was stuck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
My breathing was returning but it hurt, I knew I would be bruised,
but I could live with that. I could probably live if he raped me, even if the
thought did make me ill… but if he actually physically took me away? Out of the
city? No. If he took me away, I knew the odds. I knew the likelihood of what
happened next. If he took me away I couldn't live with that, I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">wouldn't </i>live, statistically speaking.
If he took me, rape would be the least of my worries. If he took me away he was
going to kill me and I wouldn't, couldn’t go down without a fight. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
As soon as I could draw full breath I struggled into a
sitting position. I was about to let loose and start screaming when he <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">growled</i> at me. It was unlike anything I
had ever heard before, an animal sound emanating from his very human throat. It
caught me so off guard I forgot about the whole screaming and making a fuss
that I was supposed to be doing. He knew it too! The bastard jerked the wheel
and slammed on the brakes and I was thrown back down below the level of the
windows. My head connected sharply with the tempered glass on my way down and I
cried out, my hands tied and useless in front of me, though I desperately tried
to stop myself from colliding with anything else. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
He jerked the car’s shifter into park and got out, the crisp
fall air swirling into the car’s warm interior in his wake. The back door
opened and I kicked out. He cursed and grabbed my ankle and I screamed. I
screamed and howled and I kicked out with my other foot and connected solidly
with his chest. Predictably, it didn’t do a damned thing for me, except piss
him off. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
He grunted and dove into the back seat, over the top of me,
his large hands curving around my tied wrists. He was between my thighs and I
gasped which I choked off into a whimper. His black jeans may have been two
sizes too big, his belt working overtime to keep them up, but there was no
amount of fabric in the world that would disguise the hot, solid length of his
erection which pressed solidly at the apex of my thighs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
"You keep struggling, I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">will </i>rape you, just to make a point," he threatened. I blinked
and he grinned savagely, his teeth very white and almost sharp looking, nestled
in his dark blonde goatee. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
"Where are you taking me?" I asked and hated how
breathy it was. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
"None of your business, either behave, or I'll put you
in the trunk." <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
I turned it over in my mind. That had possibilities, I could
break out a tail light or pull the emergency... I gasped and suppressed a moan
as he squeezed my wrists so hard, I swore the bones in them ground together. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
"You're hurting me!" I cried. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
"That's the idea, Little Huntress, you going to calm
your shit?"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
"Oh my god, fuck you!" I spat, "Why should I
cooperate with you? Why should I help you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kidnap</i>
me?"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>

I have a passion for the bad boys, those covered in tattoos, sexy smirks, ripped jeans, fast cars, motorcycles and of course, the sweet girls that try to tame them and win their hearts. My debut series, Ashes & Embers, follows the lives of rock band members as they find, and sometimes lose, the loves of their lives.
My first novel in the Ashes & Embers series, Storm, was published in September of 2014 and book 2, Vandal, will be published February 2015 with several more of this series planned throughout 2015.
Born and raised a Jersey girl, I now reside in beautiful New Hampshire with my husband and our multitude of furry pets and spend most of my time writing, reading, and vacuuming.

I'm not talking connivers either... although, to be honest, there is a little of that too. No, what I am talking about is conventions! Over the last couple of days (as I write this) I have had two separate conventions brought to my attention and I looked into both. Mostly it was just an inquiry about interest and I filled out the form. <br />
<br />
Apparently, for one, there was enough interest because I was sent another link asking me to commit to one of them on a first come first served basis but wait, hold the phone, what's this?<br />
<br />
"I agree to pay the invoice. My table will be confirmed once [redacted] receives payment. I understand that Author cancellations are not refundable. I understand the rooms, meals, and travel are not included."<br />
<br />
*scrolling... scrolling... scrolling...* <br />
<br />
Huh. Nope. I see a lot of packages for convention goers, you know, lunch with an author or VIP this or that, the regular convention services offered for this sort of thing, but what I don't see is cost for a table... Oh. Wait. That's not good. Apparently they want me to pay to have dinner with my fans but they also want to charge my fans to have dinner with me... That can't be right! Can it?<br />
<br />
Anyways, these got me to thinking about conventions and the potential for me traveling pretty much across the country to attend one. Now, I'm from Seattle, it rains here all the freaking time! So what do you do when it rains all the freaking time? Yeah, indoor pursuits! What is the top indoor pursuit around here for the tech nerd capital of the known world? You guessed it! Conventions! We have Norwescon, Sakura Con, Emerald City Comic Con, Zombie Con, and those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. <br />
<br />
Seriously, you want a treat in my city? Park a lawn chair at any of the street corners near the Washington State Convention Center on Easter weekend. The anime cosplay that wanders by is nothing short of eyepoppingly amazing. <br />
<br />
So knowing how conventions work, I see something across the country either in the East, South or Midwest or whatever I'm like... Ah! I reeeeeeally wanna go, buuuuut yeah... I live in the most inconvenient corner of the states for travel to these things because I am looking at quite a few things.<br />
<br />
1. Airfare and not just for me, for my fiancé too. I don't think he would let me get on a plane and travel that far without him. He'd be a total worried mess. I wouldn't do that to him. It was an argument and a half to get him to leave me at a <em>local</em> book signing when I'm ball and chained to a table for more than a couple of hours because watching him sit in a corner and play basketball games on his iPhone for 9+ hours made my heart hurt for him. Poor guy was so bored! Still, I know better than to think I would get away with a cross country flight without him by my side. <br />
<br />
We travelled to Virginia earlier this year and the airfare for me, my fiancé and my 12 year old stepson was around $1500 bucks. And we got a pretty good deal! So let's just pretend that for me and my fiancé to get to a convention on the opposite coast or in the south somewhere we're looking at around that amount, we'll go with $1200 bucks. Keep that number, we'll come back to it later. <br />
<br />
2. Extra baggage fees. Because clothes fit into a carryon, but bringing enough books to have on hand to sell and sign, well, they not only weigh a lot they take up a lot of space. So I am looking at not only checked bag fees but also overweight bag fees on top of that to get them there with me. And on top of that we're talking both directions! Because if I sold out of books I fucked up and didn't bring enough and if I didn't well I have to bring what I didn't sell back with me. We'll say, round trip, $250 bucks for checked bags and over weight fees. <br />
<br />
3. Accommodations as in a hotel room for the entire weekend is probably the cheapest part of a potential trip, not going to lie. Still looking at around $300 or more when you factor in I would have to be there early to get oriented and set up for this. <br />
<br />
4. Food for the entire trip. I can't bring my kitchen and eating out can be expensive. My fiancé and I eat. We're looking at $20 a meal for each of us and we'll say lunch & dinner and just pretend that the hotel provides breakfast so that's $80/day for the both of us times 3 days... We'll set the food budget at $250. Why not?<br />
<br />
5. The books. I don't get them for free and while I will be reselling them, please keep in mind I only get about $3.25/copy for one of my paperbacks even though they sell for $15.00. The rest is the cost of printing and to keep the tax man happy. Now I would have 7 books for sale by the time either of these events rolled around, just in the SHMC series alone. That would cost me something like $700.00 to be stocked with 20 copies of each book. We'll pretend that will be enough for this exercise even though if I <em>really</em> wanted to be stocked and stocked well it would be way more than that for the first book and maybe a few more for each subsequent book but for now, we'll say $700.00 for stock.<br />
<br />
6. Registration / Table fee is standard operating procedure for selling at a convention. Typically, around $50.00 for a con that is local and just starting out with local talent. For this we'll say it's $100.00 for table and registration for two people. Me and my assistant, which in this case is my fiancé. (Sorry honey.) <br />
<br />
7. There are probably more expenses involved here. Like how are we getting to the con from the airport? Well then you have to add car rental in. Fun. So we're just going to slap down $500.00 extra for car rental and any other miscellaneous expenses that may be required. Maybe there is someone selling a bit of pretty I just have to have or, "Oh my god is that Carian Cole!? Squeeee! I have to go buy and have every book she has on offer signed." (Yes, I would fangirl that hard over Carian.) <br />
<br />
I'm going to stop here because I think you're getting the picture. Have you been keeping track of what we've spent so far? No? That's okay! Because I have. <br />
<br />
$1200.00 for a flight. <br />
250.00 for the bags and transporting the books. <br />
300.00 for accommodations. <br />
250.00 to feed my fat ass. <br />
700.00 for stock<br />
100.00 for registration<br />
500.00 just in case<br />
<br />
Let's add that up right quick. <br />
<br />
So far I am into this trip and this convention... wait for it... $3,300.00. <br />
<br />
Let's go back to the books I brought with me to sell, I said 20 copies of 7 books that's 140 books, times the $3.25 cents I make per book... So I've recouped $455.00 if I sold out of everything I brought for this. <br />
<br />
$3,300.00 - 455.00 = I'm still in the hole $2,845.00... <br />
<br />
I would LOVE to come to your convention but I can't be throwing money like confetti to sit behind a table for 10+ hours / day for three days. <br />
<br />
I'm not trying to be a bitch here, I'm trying to inject a little reality into the situation. I love writing. I love telling my stories and I love that people love my work, but key word there: <em>work</em>. It takes a lot of time, effort, blood, tears, time lost with your family and loved ones to create these books and there are days I feel like screaming goddamn it! I deserve to be compensated for this! I work my ass off and money doesn't do this: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I'd really love to go to these conventions, I'd really love to pick up and go and feel like a rock star for a weekend once or twice a year but I can't. I won't always be able to, because it just isn't cost effective when I am out here driving a 22 year old car about to fall apart. When I work a full time job in addition to writing full time and I work a part time job on the weekends on top of that just to pull in a fraction of what my fiancé makes working his one day job. So yes, I will express interest in these conventions, yes I will do the math and scrimp and save and one day I might actually get to do one, but what I won't do?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Feel guilty when I have to say no because it's just not feasible for me to do it, or not feel absolutely outraged when someone has the audacity to try and charge both me and my fans to connect us. If I want to meet a fan for a nice dinner I can and will find a local one and buy us a nice couple of plates and some fine wine for less than half of what you're asking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So conventions, I would love to but to the connivers out there? Well, it wouldn't be one of my classy ranty ragey blogs if I didn't say it once! Fuck you.</div>

Okay so Fractured & Formidable has been available for preorder for exactly one week! I took a peek and as of today, 228 copies have been preordered for a grand total of approximately $312.68 raised so far for the Lake Washington Chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse! <br />
<br />
That's fantastic people, and really super exciting. If you haven't gotten your copy yet and want to make sure to support this fabulous cause, you can go ahead and get your copy of Fractured & Formidable right here: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VSBQTRS" target="_blank">Fractured & Formidable The Sacred Hearts MC Book V</a><br />
<br />
Thanks so much for your participation and for reading! I am so looking forward to the final numbers for this and to present a check to these guys to support their work in victims advocacy and support for abused children. I will try and keep you guys updated on the preorder totals from now until release day but won't be able to give you the final grand total for this venture until around the 15th of August when the reports for July come out from amazon. <br />
<br />
If you're new to the SHMC series, you have plenty of time between now and July 31st to catch up and buy your copy of Fractured & Formidable in support of B.A.C.A. and their mission. <br />
<br />
Until next Tuesday!<br />

I deserve a cookie, and not just any cookie but one of those warm, gooey, fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookies the size of a small pizza - <em>with ice cream!</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_O8Nnj_e-rQ/VSw7B0-jINI/AAAAAAAAAqU/4Aw01Ns0KJU/s1600/Cookie.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_O8Nnj_e-rQ/VSw7B0-jINI/AAAAAAAAAqU/4Aw01Ns0KJU/s1600/Cookie.png" height="271" width="400" /></a><br />
Why do I deserve said cookie?<br />
<br />
Because. I've been working like a motherfucking dog over here! I am heading into week three of not having a day off. Usually, I go home on Friday night and no one hears from me until Monday. I cease all work-related activity, which includes writing and editing! Because, let's face it, as much as I love to write and even to edit my writing into something more fit for public consumption, my poor brain needs a break from it. <br />
<br />
Most of you know I work a regular eight to five-thirty shift, Monday through Friday in addition to this whole author thing, and if you didn't? Well you know now. Yep, for nine and a half hours a day I work a regular day job, go home and work several hours more until my brain is the consistency of pudding and I just can't brain anymore. Then I drag myself off to bed, only to wake up anywhere between 04:00 and 05:00 to do it all over again. <br />
<br />
My day usually consists of wake up, check in with my Street Team, phone my Street Team Lead on the way in to work, go to work, brain, brain, brain, write, write, write, handle any editing, braining and writing that I can, get up, clock out, call my Street Team Lead on the drive home, go in, get changed and write, write, write, edit, edit, edit, brain, brain, brain until I just can't brain anymore! Rinse and repeat. <br />
<br />
My fiancé misses me. <br />
<br />
It makes him sad in the pants. <br />
<br />
For reals. <br />
<br />
So, what in the hell am I doing that I'm running full steam ahead without slowing down?<br />
<br />
Writing two books with two different co-authors at the same time on top of staying on the MC series, with edits and marketing. <br />
<br />
Wow, that doesn't sound like much when I put it that way, but I promise! It really is. So far, I kid you not, I am slated to release one of the SHMC books in July, a PNR romantic erotica in August and with any luck, an Urban Fantasy somewhere in the range of June/July/August. <br />
<br />
Talk about overload! I got this epically retarded ass notion that I needed a break from the MC world and like a Raven with a serious case of A.D.O.S. (Attention Deficit - Ooo! Shiny!) I went bounding off after the literary squirrel of a different genre right before embarking on the <em>planned</em> Urban Fantasy novel. <br />
<br />
TL;DR<br />
The short version of that is I'm a literary masochist in a writer sense, rather than a reader's sense. <br />
<br />
Eventually I will get caught up, like hopefully really soon, because I still have my MC world burning a hole in my brain and I really want to get back to the safe and loving arms of my badass bikers. Mostly so they stop sitting in the corner of my brain reserved for them, drinking beer and laughing at me. <br />
<br />
So yeah. I'm busy, I'm gonna stay busy and maybe if I am lucky I will get outside before they Day Star goes into hibernation for the winter again. I'm starting to feel like a mole person. <br />
<br />
I will be cooped up this Saturday for the best cause ever though! I'll be selling my completed books drinking booze named after my MC's!!! You gotta like that! Let me introduce you to these drinks while I'm here:<br />
<br />
First we have The Sacred Heart:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-whqML943nQs/VSxA1ljKBiI/AAAAAAAAAqk/SQQ-0n_Khk0/s1600/11099903_1607796416099940_1177654829_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-whqML943nQs/VSxA1ljKBiI/AAAAAAAAAqk/SQQ-0n_Khk0/s1600/11099903_1607796416099940_1177654829_n.jpg" height="296" width="320" /></a></div>
This lovely little dropshot consists of Bacardi 151, Grenadine, Amaretto, and Fireball dropped into Sprite. It was mighty tasty and I am looking forward to trying it again. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we have The Suicide King: </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kh688xCJvm0/VSxA1vmusTI/AAAAAAAAAqw/rSsrBvtF3e4/s1600/11158083_1607796436099938_1569585230_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kh688xCJvm0/VSxA1vmusTI/AAAAAAAAAqw/rSsrBvtF3e4/s1600/11158083_1607796436099938_1569585230_n.jpg" height="320" width="257" /></a></div>
As the name implies, you're pretty much going to want to commit suicide the next morning after a couple of these. The Suicide King consists of Yeager, 100 Proof SoCo, Cherry Coke, Vanilla Vodka, and Buttershot. <br />
<br />
Guaranteed worse hangover ever with as much sugar is in this bitch, but considering it's named after a bunch of drug addicted yahoos, what do you really expect?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Last, and I always save the best for last, we have my favorite drink, The Kraken:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aW6OgXtzHWw/VSxA1ja42JI/AAAAAAAAAqo/G5Pr-by5taI/s1600/11091361_1607796449433270_1747214277_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aW6OgXtzHWw/VSxA1ja42JI/AAAAAAAAAqo/G5Pr-by5taI/s1600/11091361_1607796449433270_1747214277_n.jpg" height="320" width="208" /></a></div>
This beauty consists of Kraken Rum, (duh), Triple Sec, Lime Juice, Orange Ginger house made Simple Syrup and for that extra orangey Florida goodness, Fanta Orange soda. <br />
<br />
It is soooooooo good! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
All these drinks and several food menu items, (The Reaver!!! He got his own food menu item!) Will be available this Saturday at the AFK Elixirs & Eatery at 3750 East Valley Rd in Renton, WA (98057). I will be there from 14:00 to 21:00 in celebration for the release of Tattered & Torn as well as my co-author, Jeffrey Cook's novels Dawn of Steam: Rising Suns and the release of his anthology, Sound & Fury: Shakespeare Goes Punk.<br />
<br />
AMG! So excited! <br />
<br />
Hopefully I will see some of you locals there! Much love!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
