New Book (Book 2 in The Beacons Series)

I'm currently working on another project, one that is part of a series in The Beacons (book one is The Shaman's Beacon). This will be my fifth book. It'll be written from Chelsea's perspective, Linda's best friend. You'll get to know the notorious Travis Sloan, the hardened Texas pack leader and industrial tycoon who once roamed wild throughout the Lone Star State with Linda's husband, Clayton.

The story will take the reader from Chelsea's home in Los Angeles, California to Austin, Texas, where the Sloan, Inc. headquarters is located.

Her story is one of intrigue and romance, which begins the moment she finds a sealed wooden box in her attic. It takes a heck of an effort to open the damn thing, but once she does she wishes she never had. Inside is an effigy of her with symbols that appear Wiccan in origin. Her mother was an avid Christian who would never allow anything like that in her house, so how it got into the attic is a mystery. What makes the thing so frightening is that Chelsea remembers some of these symbols and they don't hold the the negative connotations she was raised to believe. Instead, she remembers these symbols with a fondness and warmth, as though they came from a source of love rather than anything Satanic. But after the box has been opened, all hell breaks loose and it isn't long before Chelsea becomes the target of a nefarious plot perpetuated by creatures from her nightmares. Honestly, who could possibly believe vampires exist? Really, who? Well, they do and they are out for blood--her blood.

Editing...

I've got a few people reviewing the manuscript currently. I hope to have their comments done and in by the middle of August. I will start querying agents late July, early August, which ought to give me adaquate time to get them a final version of the manuscript in time.

Just finished...

The draft has been edited by yours truly. Next it goes to the editor for final review.

I will be querying agents on this one. Who couldn't love a woman who can face down a barrel of a gun and still keep her sense of humor? Linda will no doubt push, pull, and pry her way into the hearts of many. At the very least, she'll give it a good try.

New Book

I'm currently working on the final edits to a new book, my fourth. It's a modern day paranormal story set in Wyoming. It took only six weeks to write the draft and each time I edit this thing it's still a load of fun.

Cross your fingers. I hope to get this published this year.
