Writing a Series....
I love to challenge myself when it comes to writing. I enjoy writing a novel (50k words plus), but I challenged myself by writing a novella. Much shorter, so I didn't have a lot of wiggle room. I absolutely enjoyed that! Next, I figured a short story in an anthology. Brutal and much harder. Yet again, I enjoyed the experience and it also gave me material to further write Antoine and Vivian's story.
So, how could I challenge myself once again? No safe writing for me. I went ahead and began a six book paranormal romantic suspense series (Magnolia Valley Series). Not only is it a challenge to write each individual story, but I need to have the overall series arc figured out as well. Not to mention keeping my characters straight ... and my town and surroundings. Seriously, I bought big poster boards, taped them together edge to edge and mapped out Acadia, roads, buildings, parks, cemeteries ... everything. If I don't have a map, I will never remember what the name of the restaurant my heroine's father owns and where it's located in relation to the police station. I would be completely lost.
What am I learning with writing a series? Well, first off, since book one is written, I can't go back and change anything in order to make books two through six work. I had set the stage and there are no do overs. It has released over on Amazon. Click here to grab your copy for $2.99 if you haven't done so already.
Two: I'm finding as I think of new and exciting stuff for my overall series arc, I have to incorporate them into book one. Not every single thing, but book one sets the stage. Very very important to keep that one in mind. That was no easy task. Not every single little detail as it would just give away the entire series. I need to keep some surprises of course.
Three: I have introduced every member of both the Moore and the Pacelli family in book one. Now I have to make sure if one likes the color blue in book one, then he/she had better still like the color blue in book four. I keep a detailed character sheet for every person.
And finally, in just one book, you have to make sure everything is tied up into a nice little bow ... all questions have been answered and/or settled. And there are quite a few for one book. I have to do that consistently over six books and ensure nothing is left hanging around at the end of book six.
I always like a challenge. After all, nothing can be gained without good hard work. I look forward to this long journey.

It's Release Day!!!
Deadly Curses, my new paranormal romantic suspense and book one of my Magnolia Valley series has officially released today. This one is such a great story and it was so fun to write. I love learning about new things and I certainly did during this one.
Ciarra and Trent's story is just the beginning to Magnolia Valley's family, the Moores. The challenges that face them will be tough, and they will learn how family ties are tight knit when there are outside threats. All will come to a head when good faces off against evil in the end.
I am having a Facebook launch party today from 6pm-9pm EST (3pm-6pm PST) and you are all invited. Three hours of fun, partying, and prizes. The party is HERE!
If you haven't bought your copy yet, what are you waiting for? Buy here at Amazon. It's only $2.99.
Dr. Trent Moore’s life is complete-–a no-strings relationship, financial security, and great health-–until he is summoned to his father’s grave and discovers a grave robber stole one of his father’s bones ... a finger bone. From there, Trent’s seemingly perfect world spirals out of control. Strange occurrences happen, and the sexy lead detective informs him that a grief-stricken mother has placed a curse upon him. As his near-death experiences ramp up and he finds himself falling in love, he’s beginning to believe there may be some truth to it all. But will he run out of time before he can tell Ciarra he loves her?
When Detective Ciarra Pacelli is assigned to a prominent judge’s suspicious death, she doesn’t know her little world is about to be turned upside down. She discovers other possible victims of a deadly Voodoo curse, one being the gorgeous and stubborn doctor. As she becomes wrapped up in protecting him at all costs, she finds she’s fighting against her developing feelings for him. Once she realizes she can’t, she gives her all in finding a cure against the curse that promises to take him away from her for good.

Sexy Snippets Sunday
It's been awhile since I've participated in sexy snippets. But it's time to get back into the blogging scene and what a great way to begin!!
My sexy snippet is from my new paranormal romance, Deadly Curses, being released March 18th over on Amazon. You can secure a copy early here.
Trent has had a rough night being knocked down by what he believes to be the flu, but of course it is the Voodoo curse placed on him. He awakes to his sexy detective who has stayed the entire night by his side sleeping soundly and her head resting upon his bedside.

She slept soundly,
her breaths slow and even. He couldn’t resist touching her silky hair. The
tough detective was stunning. She had stayed by his side falling asleep near
him holding his hand. Her light, floral perfume traveled to his nose. Sucking
in a couple of savoring, deep breaths of her heavenly scent, he smiled despite
the throbbing behind his eyes.
Oh yes, he loved
her.
