Confessions of a Rebel Child

     The book came out in December and has been doing well, I'd classify it as a chik-lit summer read full of crazy characters and situations that either require a small southern town or a soap opera to exist. The setting is before the house of mouse and has the inevitable bad guys- the cracker mafia, there's secrets galore and no taboo was left unturned. There's a sick and twisted "minister", a druggie selling ice cream, and the entitled males thinking they can do anyone because they have the tool to do so and what happens when reality smacks them in the face and grabs them by the ears.
   I wrote this one originally in a more epistolary manner, and then when I started linking them together- well, the original faded away. There are hints throughout about who Sami is seeing, but it isn't until almost the end that we find out it isn't the sexy cop she's known forever, its the 'mystery man'.
  In Ship of Fools, we find out far more of the antics they pulled off, mainly because no one ever said "no", Ship of Fools is in the works, keep an eye out.
   We were able to release Blood Dance a week early, the cover art is done on canvas board by an actual artist, the next one is going to be ultra cool. This is the story of vampires Luka and Laurine, and his sometimes lover,Shayla- the werewolf. It has lots of hot vamp sex and the only one that sparkles...is Laurine, but she's a stripper and its body glitter so, not the same thing. This is the first in the Realm of Night trilogy.
   Originally it was maybe eight pages and designed to be read at an event called Night of the Macabre. The community college sponsors it and its all murder,mayhem, blood, guts,gore,monsters, mayhem and twisted fears. But I kept having people ask when they were going to find out what happened next- I tend to leave them dangling...awful. I know- I hear it from a writer friend all the time.
    The next one out will be Run-in with the Devil. Shayla's story evolves and where Blood Dance is highly sexual, this one is more sensual- lots of action between the sheets and many other places but
with a story full of twists and turns and events that a reader wants to find in a book.
   It's out on amazon.com for kindle and if you don't have an ereader, you can download one for free for your computer.. go grab a copy and tell me what you think.
