Random Alert! Random. Alert. Alert. Alert...
So last year for Halloween the hubby and I went to a corn maze. Omigosh, it was so fun! Here are a few pix...

I looove pumpkins! Bought ALL of these...you believe that, right?  But I did buy a graphic t-shirt that said: Mazed and Cornfused! hahahahaha Get it? So pun-y!!!! ;)

This was the Maze... Yeah, we got lost--several times--and had to dodge lots of mud puddles, but it was super fun!

We had to carry poles with a flag on the end throughout the maze so the staff people could find us if we got uber lost. Of course, I pretended I was a grim reaper, like, the entire time. That may or may not have annoyed the hubby, but heck, that's my job...right? Bwahaha

And for your random action! Me trying to take a picture with Rusty pup yesterday when I got home from work. You can see how well that turned out! :P

Six Sentence Sunday: Running From Shadows... Such a Tease! #SSS #YA #PNR

Hooray for Six Sentence Sunday!

Thank you for stopping by. I'm excited to participate with such a fantastic group of writers! 

Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent and an editor!! Squee!!

Follow Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton "Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student with a dark secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love. 

 ****

Last week... Pax notices Greta is bleeding and invites her into his cabin to bandage her up. She's nervous about being alone with this boy, despite him saving her from something she thinks doesn't exist. He turns to leave. She asks where he's going and then immediately regrets the question. She isn’t some crazed fangirl that can’t live if the object of her affection walks away. This isn’t her. 

Yeah, sure, she doesn't know where she is. Okay, so she's bleeding. A little. Does she really need this boy? Not the first time she'd been lost in the woods. Probably not the last. She could find her way home again. The problem…

I didn’t want to. Wherever he was going, I wanted to follow. And that scared me more than anything that had happened so far.

He kept his back to me. “Inside and I would do the same if I were you, but it’s your choice. Take a chance with me or the shadow demon.”

Will she go in or try to make it out of the woods by herself? And is he for real about the shadow demons? Eventually you'll find out my darlings! Bwahaha Tune in next week for more Greta and Pax!! ;) Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated! Get a sneak peek for more awesome authors at SSS.

Last week... We found out Pax is carrying an injured Greta back to his cabin in the forest. She feels safe with him and it scares her. When he sets her down, a sharp rock jabs into the arch of her bare foot. She stumbles and he reachs out to steady her. The touch of his skin against hers sends a blaze of heat through her body...

He looked down at his hands, which were red with my blood and said, “You’re injured.”

“Yeah.” Now that the shock had begun to wear off, it was starting to hurt like a motherfreaker.

“Come inside. Let me take a look.” He stared at me, waiting.

Will she go in or try to make it out of the woods by herself? Tune in next week for more Greta and Pax!! ;) Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated! Get a sneak peek for more awesome authors at SSS.

Last week... Pax scoops Greta up and runs off with her into the woods. Sure this sexy guy saves her from a demon, but why does she feel oddly calm about it? And where the hell is he taking her? So, of course, she asks...

Cover Art by Danielle Fine

I focused on the cabin, forcing myself not to think about how right being in his arms was.

“My house,” he answered.

Despite the weird déjà vu his eyes gave me, I started to squirm. His house? I didn’t even know him. No way I’d go into some random boy’s house in the middle of the woods.

Greta is shoved to the ground...seconds from destruction when this sexy, strange boy comes out of nowhere and scoops her into his arms. When he ignores her question the first time, she asks again. This time there's an edge to her voice when she says, "Who are you?"

His gaze shifted from surveying the forest to me. I shivered. “The guy who’s saving your ass.”

“From what? What the hell is—”

“Quiet,” he said before taking off.

What's he saving her from? Where is he taking her? Tune in next week for more Greta and Pax!! Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated! Get a sneak peek for more awesome authors at SSS.
