Working it out…- (My novella...) First round of edits are with my editor! I won't lie...they were intense and I cut/rewrote A LOT, but I think it's going to be a much better story for it. The anthology is scheduled to release early next year!
- (Holidays) So, erm, for the past two weeks I've lived online...buying all the gifts O.o Thank goodness for Amazon Prime!! This was me when I realized Christmas was only 13 days away...

- Twitter pitch for Becoming: After a transplant gives Zoe a dragon shifter’s heart, she learns that her online boyfriend is her donor and...a girl.
♥Today I'm sharing snippet #24 from the Becoming prequel titled Longing (unedited and in Taylor's POV)! Read snippets here: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23. Excited for y'all to get to know my dragons better :)
Longing - Chapter 1 (snippet #24)...
Life meant something different to Taylor. For her it had no end. For Zoe, the end could be at any moment. Cold realization settled into Taylor’s bones. Even if Zoe was healthy, they could never be together. Immortality plus mortality would never equal forever. “Yeah, it is,” she said through numb lips. What else could she say? Taylor couldn’t compete with death.
Donna pushed off the wall and started toward the nurse’s station but stopped and turned back around. “What’s that app y’all kids are always sending text messages on?”
Taylor shrugged.
“You know, the one with the blue bird.” Donna shoved her hands into her pockets.
“Twitter?”
“Yeah, that’s it. She just got an account today. She’s lonely. She could really use a friend.” After administering a shot of guilt, Donna strode to her cluttered workspace and started entering data into her computer.
