• My dark and gritty new adult urban fantasy with cursed dragon shifters, titled Becoming, is currently with my amazing editor!!! So excited to make this story sparkle and then pitch it at RT and RWA soon! Agents, you're gonna want this story...like super bad! Just sayin' ;D
• Check out my stunning cover inspiration (right side above this paragraph) designed by the talented Danielle Fine!!! 
• (Read fave sentences from chapter 2 here) Today I'm gonna share just a few sentences from chapter 3 that my editor loved :D The sentences don't have anything to do with each other.

♥ Taylor knew she hadn’t saved the girl’s life but condemned her to a fate worse than youth wasted in a hospital bed waiting for death.
♥ Beauty stole Taylor’s gaze, but it was the beast who peered back at her. Hunger filled her thoughts. Blinded her reason.
♥ Impatience crawled down his leg, and he tapped the brake.
♥ Arctic pain scorched the length of her back until she thought her shoulders would bleed drops of ice.

Dragon update... Round one of the first 150 pages of Becoming edits are back with my fabulous editor! Currently 4k words into the Becoming prequel (all from Taylor's POV)! It's going to be a novelette at about a 7k words.

Erm, so, uh, yeah...here's some random for ya! I was trying to get the camera app ready on my phone so I could take a pic of the sail boats as we crossed the bridge...somehow I ended up with a picture of my lap. Craziness!! Me and technology have a love-hate relationship :P

Hi, my name is Rusty pup and I like to crawl all over my mom when she's trying to read and disturb her zombie killing time.
