.Sneak peek between the pages of A Warlock’s Secrets:
Inside the house, a shadow passed by the huge bay window. She held her breath. Am I really going to go through with this?
Walking up the steps to the house, she paused. Why would he leave such an expensive car sitting out when he had a four-car garage? She was stalling. Straightening her shoulder’s she used the brass doorknocker. There was no answer. She knocked again.
The heavy oak door creaked open. Tristian stood shirtless, his abs rippled as he raised one muscular arm to lean on the doorframe. The skintight blue jeans hung low on his hips and his hair tousled as if he’d not been awake long.
When he stared at her, with those huge blue-gray eyes, tingles careened up her spine. She covered her mouth in case drool pooled in the corners her mouth. He was one sexy male. She sucked in a breath and opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. A brow arched, he peered questioningly at her then twisted to glance backward into the house. The sunlight streaming through the doorway accentuated several scars across his chest, rib area and a healed slash across his back. Who gets those kinds of battle scars and lives to tell the tale? Not going to ask. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
The corner of his mouth curved up in an inviting sexy-as-hell grin. “Good morning, Hannah. What a surprise.”

A Witch’s Journey – Sunday Snippet
Good Morning and welcome to another Sunday Snippet. This week we take a look at the award-winning A Witch’s Journey, first book in A Witch’s Journey Series. Former Navy Seal, Lathen Quartz helps Pepper McKay, a powerful witch, achieve her lifelong dream of a wildlife rescue, but can they save the McKay magic?
Animal and wildlife rescue is close to my heart. I volunteer at a wolf rescue, donate to another and also donate and visit a parrot rescue. I feel that whatever we have tamed, we are responsible for taking care of forever.
A Little about A Witch’s Journey:
Pepper McKay comes from a long line of powerful witches. Unfortunately, magic brings her nothing but trouble. She learned the love of wildlife rescue and rehab from her Aunt Ashling. After graduating from college, Pepper works for Salem Wildlife Sanctuary and lives from paycheck to paycheck until she inherits the McKay property in Lobster Cove. With the family land and resources, she dares to dream of starting her own wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center.
Lathen Quartz, a former Navy SEAL turned handyman maintains the enchanted McKay property for the McKay estate. But someone is trying to steal the McKay magic. Lathen offers to help Pepper achieve her life-long dream of building a wildlife center. During the long hours spent together on the project, their mutual attraction can’t be denied. But each harbors a deep, dark secret. Will they overcome their demons and give love a chance?
Snippet of A Witch’s Journey!
“What the hell are you doing here, and what have you done to my dog,” Pepper shouted flinging the log to the ground and yanking her cell phone out of her pocket, tapping in 9-1-1, she left the line open.
She circled her arm above her head and the wind picked up, spreading her fingers wide the rain came down in sheets, lightning streaked through the night sky and thunder shook the ground. The dog glanced up at Pepper, blood clouding its eye, barked once and barreled into the woods. Mr. Green started to get up off the ground and Pepper shoved her foot on top his chest. “Don’t move. Or I’ll…”
“You’ll what?” Mr. Green rolled to the side, and grabbed Pepper’s leg. Slick due to the rain, he couldn’t hold on and Pepper kicked his side and jumped out of reach.
She sliced her arm through the air, unseen forces slammed Mr. Green to the ground, his eyes glowed an eerie green. Pain erupted in Pepper’s head, he was drawing on her magic. Suddenly, a rainbow shower of knife-sharp feathers flew out of the cabin door, across the air, slicing through the man’s clothes pinning him to the ground until red and blue flashing lights reflected against the cabin’s wet exterior. The sirens’ wail echoed all around her, Kaylee’s scream broke though the chaos, then everything went black.
Lathen slammed on the brakes as he turned into the driveway behind the police vehicle. A rainbow of feathers rose from the ground and streaked into the cabin. He rubbed his eyes, shook his head and jumped to the ground searching for Pepper. The call came in at the police station as he’d finished the wiring and was testing the computers. A 9-1-1 call, no one at the other end and an open line from the McKay place. When he arrived, she was lying on the ground and Kaylee circling above her screeching. As he knelt over her, she bolted upright.
Check back next week for a new Sunday Snippet!

Security Force of Two – Sunday Snippet
Sunday Snippet Hold onto your hats SECURITY FORCE OF TWO burst onto the scene on the first day of Spring, with 5-Star reviews and awards ! First book in my new Mountain Town Mysteries Series. A riveting #paranormal #romance, #mystery, you’re going to love!
A former CIA agent and a Special Forces vet return to their small hometown for different reasons none of which includes involvement in an investigation of the new police chief’s murder.
A little about Security Force of Two:
Miacoh Zane, a Special Forces veteran, returns to Aspen Ridge, Colorado a small town nestled in the Rocky Mountains, to settle his beloved grandmother’s estate. But the town holds painful memories and family secrets he wants to leave behind for good.
Candle Bearclaw, a gifted computer analyst/programmer with talents she’s buried when recruited out of college by the CIA. After fifteen years, she abruptly resigns her position with the agency. She returns to her sleepy hometown only to discover her childhood crush has also returned and a violent crime has been committed.
Due to their covert operations experience, Candle and Miacoh are thrown together to assist Homeland Security, FBI, and her father, former chief of police, with a murder investigation. As they search for the perpetrators, will their secrets be revealed as the investigation takes an unusual twist that could blow the case wide open.
An exciting new peek between the pages of Security Force of Two:
As Miacoh turned the SUV into one of the School of Mines parking lots, one wing of a building exploded with debris flying everywhere and flames shooting over sixty feet in the air. He slammed on the brakes, put his hand over Candle’s head, and ducked over her as flying objects assaulted the vehicle. Cayson lay sprawled across the back seat.
The blast’s concussion overturned vehicles smashed them into other cars causing more explosions. Cars with shattered windows lined the rear of the parking lot just in front of their SUV.
Moments after the rain of debris stopped, Miacoh, Candle, and Cayson jumped out of the SUV and glanced around. They ran toward the scene, masks from Candle’s first aid kit covering their mouth and nose. They coughed and choked as the scent of burning debris, and heavy smoke filled the air. Their eyes teared as they fought their way towards the crater where the building had been. Due to the intense heat surrounding the crater, they stopped several yards from point of explosion.
“If there was anyone in the building, they were incinerated. Beyond help now. We should wait here for the emergency personnel.” Cayson raised his mask, mopped his face with his handkerchief, and replaced his mask.
Pointing at the flames, “That’s the Chemistry building,” Candle screamed. “Could be noxious fumes. Need to let everyone know to stay away.” She pulled out her phone and dialed Jedediah’s number with homeland security as she ran back toward her vehicle, motioning the others to follow. “I’ve gas masks in my emergency bag in the back of the SUV.” If their hunch was correct, this wasn’t the primary target. She was sure of that. After four rings, she left a message and stuffed the phone back in her pocket.

Set in the same town as Meringue Snowflake Magic with some of the same characters, plus new ones you’re going to love. After I finished writing Meringue Snowflake Magic (It was a limited word count for Christmas Cookies Series), I knew I wasn’t through with all the characters or the town. So when the Jelly Beans and Spring Things Series was introduced by The Wild Rose Press, my publisher, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to delve into Raven’s Hollow again (A limited word count series). Please take a moment to check out Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic. Was the ancient jelly bean machine to blame?

Go ahead you, know you want to, grab a copy and join the #magical #fantasy, #adventure today! You’ll be so glad you did.
Spring is in full bloom in Raven’s Hollow, a small town in the Colorado Rockies with a population of unique townspeople. Blaze, a dragon shifter, and Wynter, a witch, are neck-deep in wedding preparations, when Wynter’s mother, Jade, goes missing after opening her new antique store, and attending the Simon estate sale where she procured an ancient jelly bean machine.
Frantic with worry, Blaze and Wynter track her last movements via the store’s ancient, grainy, security footage. What it reveals is nothing short of shocking. As deputy sheriff, it’s Blaze’s responsibility to find his soon-to-be mother-in-law. But at what cost?
Sneak peek between the pages of Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic:
“Does it work?” He dropped in a penny and twisted the handle. A couple jelly beans rolled out. “Is that all?” He jiggled the handle. It turned another quarter turn and gears whirred. The glass globe sparkled, etchings of the countries around the world appeared as it tilted and slid to the side. On the opposite side a control panel slid out revealing a panel filled with tokens in the center. The group gasped and silence ensued for several beats.
“What the heck?” flew out of Wynter’s mouth as she clutched at her chest. With her other hand, she reached out to touch the machine only to have her hand slapped away with a pair of black gloves Blaze had pulled out of his pocket.
“No one else touch this—or anything in here.” He slipped on the protective gloves and removed one of the tokens holding it up to the light. “It’s inscribed in Latin around the outside. My Latin may be rusty, but rursus in tempore means a turn in time.” He picked up another token and read the inscription. “Fatum suum aspicientis moderatur – Beholder controls its destiny.” Carefully, he returned the tokens to their slots turning his attention to the control panel. “Look here…”
Wynter pointed at the panel. “There’s a slot for one token in the control panel. You don’t suppose this is a—
