First kisses

That intoxicating first kiss.  

Fascination

One minute Megan was standing on the ground.  The next minute, Wade’s mouth angrily took hers as his arms tightened around her.  Her back pressed against a tree, and she had nowhere to go.  There was nothing gentle in the kiss.  Wade's mouth sealed over hers and took everything he’d never asked for.  The bite of it had her moaning against his mouth.

Megan’s hands fisted in his hair and kept his mouth pressed to hers while she nipped at his lip and told herself that Wade's intensity had sparked hers and this wasn’t her fault, and oh God, his mouth tasted like nothing she’d ever had before.

Fascination

Megan Rivers has itchy feet and a short attention span. Legendary in the family for not keeping a job longer than two weeks, Spencer mentions an artist friend who needs a caretaker while he creates. Wade hires Megan, and a mutual attraction sparks. But both are more than they tell each other. She's a witch. He's fey royalty. They begin a relationship which catches them by surprise with its intensity.
An unexpected announcement shocks them both and sends Megan into a tailspin. She steps away, hurt, from everyone and exposes herself to the darkness that haunts her family. One quick strike leaves the redhead fighting for her life. Now it's up to Wade and her family to find her before her last breath.

Saturday Plans

 It's my day off.  We all know that doesn't mean what it sounds like.

I'll be editing "Fascination", third book in the Rivers Sisters series, for the last time.  Possibly uploading to Amazon today.  If not, I have Wednesday and Thursday off.  I'll shoot for that.  I work tomorrow at the day job, which is ass.  A one-to-five day is actually a 10-6 day for me.  Getting ready, driving an hour, working 12-5, driving an hour home.  The day is shot.  But it's my LAST Sunday to have to work.  There's that.  😁

Will work on "Incantation", fourth book in the Rivers Sisters series, if I feel the yen to do so.  Or I can pop back over and work on my first book of a dark little trilogy I started.  Not sharing the title.  It's a thing for me.  I'm a bit superstitious in that way.  Not a romance in the slightest.  Reflection, regression, and redemption.  Story of a soul and the journey it takes.  I was on that hot and heavy before I popped out "Dante's Desire", finished "Fascination", and absolutely glued myself to the keyboard for "Chimera".  It's always that main character that plucks at me.  I'm absolutely addicted to writing their stories.  

Have I told you about my mind cabin?  😎

It's sort of like a chalet, I've never been to one, but my subconscious has ideas.  I'm chilling out in the main room.  All sorts of beings wandering in and out.  Some say "Hi!".  Some give me a dude nod.  Some promise to see me later...with no indication of how long "later" will be.  And they explore and walk off to wherever they need to be.  It's wonderful.  High traffic.  I greet everyone.  Every once in awhile I'm taken off-guard, but that's okay.  It's good for me.  It is, quite literally, never a dull moment in my white matter.

I'm off to be a word wizard.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Writing and editing

 Life would be AMAZING if all I had to do was write write write what came to me and hand off the decidedly less-fun activities to others.  I'm looking at you, synopsis.  

But honestly?  Then I wouldn't learn anything.

Editing gives me an opportunity to look at my work, with an as objective eye as I'm able, and tighten it down to make it better.  Who wouldn't jump at the opportunity?  From overuse of words (such as assholes "that" and "had") to repetition of words in the same sentence, hello Thesaurus.

I finished "Fascination", Megan's story, three days before I started "Chimera".  Seems like I've given her enough time to breathe.  Cool editing fact:  If you try to edit too soon after you finish...you will begin to resent words in general, especially your own.  😣

I believe she's a little over 68,000 words.  Glanced over her yesterday after querying.  There's a nice segue into Paisley's story, "Incantation".  That makes me happy for the simple fact I've already started that one.

I made notes for the five-book series years ago and now add to it as the details come.  Sometimes I truly adore my wee brain.

That's the plan.  Edit.  Write.  

Enjoy your day.
