Excerpt
Back at the villa, I
grabbed a beer from the fridge and retreated to the balcony. I’d missed the
Oregon air. The smell of the Green Douglas Firs. I was home.

“Austin?”
Lifting my brows, I
waited for what she had to say.

The chair flew back
hitting the wall when I shot up. “Don’t, Phoebe. I paid you to come here with
me, nothing more. Don’t do a goddamn thing because you think you owe me. I
kissed you because I felt like kissing you. You should have just said no. I’d
have respected that. But don’t kiss me because you feel some fucked up
obligation.”

I stepped past her,
rage boiling beneath the surface, and I stormed back inside.

“No buts,” I stated,
setting my beer on the table. I swallowed as I strode purposefully toward her
without reservation. The deal sealed when she started walking too.

Author Bio
Just the
fact that someone may be reading my ‘bio’ thrills me. What does one say in an
author bio? Well, I LOVE to write! Sometimes characters talk to me in my head
(in a non-psychotic way) and I have to get what they are saying out on paper!
So, here we are! 🙂

majority of the time helping my two favorite, college-aged sons navigate
through life and hopefully become the best humans they can be.

I’m
terribly addicted to music—ALLLLL kinds and driving in the car with the sunroof
open and radio turned up helps the creative juices flow.

I am deliciously
addicted to queso and cupcakes; but even with that…I like to slowly kill my
body with Crossfit. I’m annoyingly sarcastic.

People ask
me ‘what has been your favorite book to write’—I would have to say my original
series. (I think it sold 100 copies) J
FINALLY, I’m tweaking them! My heart was poured into these books—but
they needed tweaking. Slick was my
Amazon best seller, but every one of them mean something to me.
