A peek between the pages of A DEMON’S WITCH: The hook.
A feeling of dark foreboding, like storm clouds forming on the horizon before a violent storm, washed over Bruce as he maneuvered the SUV into the parking lot behind The Krystal Unicorn.
Tristian was already there and it wasn’t to give his report. Bruce could feel the fury in Tristian’s magic signature hanging in the air. A silver tipped arrow penetrated the windshield, split the arm securing the rearview mirror, and stuck in the headrest a quarter inch from Bruce’s neck. Blue liquid oozed from the tip and a stream of red mist escaped from the other end of the arrow.
“Hold your breath and don’t open the door or windows. The influx of fresh air will spread the poison.” He hissed though his teeth not daring to take a breath.
Air pressure inside the vehicle changed, Angie’s head felt like it was going to explode. “Bruce.” She whispered into his mind, a benefit of being mated.
“I know, just a few seconds more, I’ve got it handled.” His deep smooth voice floated reassuringly in her mind, as he reached over caressing her shoulder.
The pressure eased and the red mist sucked in on itself disappearing along with the oozing liquid. He pulled the arrow from the headrest, fingering the hole in the upholstery.
Through gritted teeth, Bruce growled. “His first mistake was that he missed me. His second deadly mistake was he risked your life. That is unforgivable.” Those two things also told Bruce that Tristian wasn’t thinking clearly, fury was coloring his judgment. That gave Bruce an edge, though the attack caught him off guard. He hadn’t expected Tristian’s attack to put his sister at risk.
The console between them lowered to seat level. He hoped to add fuel to the fury burning inside Tristian. Bruce put his arm around Angie’s waist and pulled her against him, his lips pressed against hers then gently covered her mouth as his tongue traced the soft fullness of her lips. He drew back, touched his lips to hers again trailing them down to the pulsing hollow of her neck and whispered, “You’re going into the shop now, Willow is waiting just on the other side of the door. Please stay there, you’ll be able to remain in my mind just don’t interfere. I need your presence there as a calming one. Willow can help you.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I know, there wasn’t time to explain how everything works and I’m not exactly sure myself. Only that I can feel you in my mind and I assume you can feel me in yours.”
“Yes, it’s a weird sensation,” Angie said a tremor in her voice.
“We’ll learn together to use it to our benefit, now is as good a time as any to practice.”
She snorted, “Sure, our lives are on the line. No big deal.” She threw up her hands.

How CHARM ME AGAIN began:
For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?
A peek between the pages of CHARM ME AGAIN: The hook
Without warning, Shay and his Fae warriors materialized beside the group. An eyebrow raised, he nodded. “We’ll take it from here.”
“Not with Josie inside,” he protested.
A loud boom shook the ground and the side wall of the building collapsed. Purple smoke billowed up and Shay cursed. “Get him. Don’t let him get away.” The warriors rushed forward toward the building. A column of the purple haze rose upward and spread across the sky dimming to lilac. Shay and the warriors disappeared with the haze after one of their own.
Josie stumbled out coughing and choking. Daylan rushed to her side as she collapsed in his arms holding her hands out, palms up. The group formed a circle around them as he eased her to the ground.
Summer’s eyes widened as she pointed to the subtle orange glow rising from Josie’s palms. “I believe her latent magic must have saved her.”

L&SR’s Wed Blog Challenge – What I Wanted To Do When I Grew Up vs. What I Do
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 12, 2020, What I wanted to do when I grew up vs. what I do! Well now that’s interesting. I am doing exactly what I always wanted to do, but it was a long and winding road to get here. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie.
For the last five years I’ve been a full time author with twelve books published since 2015, when I decided to try living my dream. The road to get here was rocky to say the least. I spent eight years as a savings and loan employee starting at telling and working my way up to assistance branch manager. But the challenge was never there. I did enjoy the customer contact.
So I returned to school to get a paralegal degree. Meanwhile for two years I worked nights as a radio DJ at a top local rock station. Now that was fun, met a lot of my favorite bands and entertainers.
Spent the next eleven years working as a paralegal for a criminal law firm. In the beginning it was challenging and exciting but as the crimes got more violent and frequent, I bailed. Seeing our clients out on bond during my off time and when I was with my elderly mother cemented my decision to move on.The encounters were scary to say the least.
The next fourteen years were spent as an Office and IT manager for an electric contracting firm. While I did enjoy the job, management and ownership changes affected the Mission of the company. Employees became just a means to get the job done, not appreciated as previously. Eventually I was downsized. I decided then and there, no more working for someone else. My husband and I talked it over and he fully supported me giving my dream of becoming a published author a shot and we never looked back!
So there you have it what I wanted to do when I grew up vs. what I do. How about you? What did you want to do when you grew up vs. what you’re doing?
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC I will be releasing the cover and release date soon. Stay tuned! Chocolate Raspberry Magic is in final galley now release date been extended until April 2021. And working on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well) AND a new project is simmering Wylder West Assignment. Keep an eye out for more information. Now let’s see what other authors wanted to do when whey grew up vs what the do. L&SR

A peek between the pages of CHARM ME AGAIN:
She padded over to the window and opened it a crack. The fresh air on her skin was cool. It relieved the smothering feeling that came over her the minute Daylan left the room. Taking a cleansing breath, she braced her hands against the window frame and took another deep calming breath.
Moonlight flooded inside with a light breeze. There it was again, that pull. Something was drawing her outside. Warning bells went off inside her head. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Despite her fear, the desire to go outside was overwhelming.
The security alarm started counting down and she quickly closed the window. Shit. No way out. Unless…There is was again, she had to get outside.
The powerful urge had her pickup her backpack, slip out the window, skitter cross the roof to the corner of the building and shimmy down. It was like she had no control over her own movements. Her brain screamed for control—to no avail then she was sprinting to her vehicle in the parking lot. Carefully she opened the door, climbed in, started the engine and slowly pulled out of the parking lot onto the street and floored it.
Suddenly a cold clammy hand closed around her throat. Nails dug into her neck. “Take a right here. Pull into the driveway and stop. Don’t turn around.”
Finally, self-preservation took over. Releasing the steering wheel, she clawed at the hand closing off her oxygen, and opened her mouth to scream. Nothing came out. Then everything when black.
