Coming ~ Late summer


Inamorata is the first Novel in the “One Bloody Night Series”.

They are supposed to be low key and get their nightly fix from a bag. But what if they could spend a cozy evening eating an old fashioned meal and then when they were done they would simply set the place on fire and walk away—no one would be the wiser?

That’s the plan when a group of rogue Vampires has poisoned the entire security staff at a Christmas Eve party at a mall in Chicago and proceed to take over for the evening and feast upon their own kind of tradition, four house keepers, a maintenance man, a girl who lives in the mall, a lonely late night worker and a couple who have escaped to the department store where she works so their spouses wouldn’t be privy to their affair and some other delightfully unexpected guests.

Everything goes exactly as they expected until the group leader Lucius Sturdevant, and second oldest Vampire to date, realizes that the woman that lives in the Comic book store that is trying to figure out how to kill him is the reincarnation of Laura, the love of his life, that died in his arms of old age, because he didn’t have the heart to turn her.

Did somebody call a fireman? What about a rugged, yet gentle and very good looking fireman…anybody call one of those? His name is Jake Gilroy and he is about to change Corey Nolan’s life.

Synopsis
Determined to be out from under her mother’s ruling and away from a no-good soon-to-be ex-boyfriend, Corey Nolan exercises her independence. With a place to call her own and a job that doesn’t pay well but makes her happy, her life is full and her young daughter is content. There is no room for distractions, until she meets a local firefighter—who stirs an immediate forbidden attraction. In need of control, she tries to ignore Jake Gilroy, but circumstances bring her closer to him when someone is hell-bent on destroying her.
Dutiful playboy Jake is known as the smoking hot fireman. The first time he sets eyes on Corey, he knows he wants her. But when threats and strange occurrences start to happen, he finds the need to protect her and give more than he’s ever given any other woman.
Being together becomes more than they bargained for when their desire for each other becomes a matter of life and death….

Excerpt
She is a toddler, right? Like four or five years old? Her jaw dropped. A chill overwhelmed Corey, and she knew it didn’t have to do with the night air from the open bar door. “How do you know that? Have you been watching me?”

As she unwittingly marches through hell, she begins to notice that nothing and no one is what it seems and there is no turning back…

There is indeed a bad moon rising over Oz.

It's Monday...

And officially I am three weeks post-op.

I was feeling great last week and even attempted to sleep on the couch. I was so comfortable that I was out like a light. Two hours later, I woke up to my two youngest cats, Gir and Oona, chasing each other around the house.

Gir used me as her springboard. Right off my incision.

So I spent the better part of the day in pain, back to taking pain pills. I hate pain meds. They absolutely suck. But I did get some good sleep and am feeling better again.

Still isn't a whole lot I can do at the computer, even if it is a laptop. I still feel out of sorts and am adjusting, but I have been revising, I've been reading all your blogs, even if I don't always leave a comment.

I'm staying in the loop!

My goals this week are to get back to reading/reviewing. I have two books I am going to work through and post one review here and the other is for "My Chaotic Ramblings". (Which moved right before I had surgery, so I will link when I get the review up.)

Last week, I had a dilemma. I have a working title for my book, but because it is so long I am busting it up into a trilogy. While the title I had worked for the one, for the moment, it certainly did not work for all three. Each one will probably be at least 70,000 words. We'll see.

However, let me just state right here... I love my husband and my sister-in-law. They're great sounding boards. I spent the better part of a day wracking my brain trying to come up with new titles and within a half hour, the two of them helped me reach my goal.

Should have started with them to begin with.

I have Googled the titles and such and have not found anything like what I have come up with.

The trilogy title I've decided upon is "Shadow of the Rose Book One, Two and Three". (Of course) And then each book will be titled: "Adversarius", "Bellum" and "Veritas".

I'm a Latin freak. I want to learn the language. I chose those titles simply because they're the one word definition of what is happening in the books. Adversary ~ This is the beginning of it all. The discovery of who will be fighting. Bellum means War and that will be book two. Finally, Veritas (Truth) is the last, because some truths will be brought to light and all that fun stuff.

Am I happy with the title? Absolutely. Will they most likely get changed by whoever chooses to publish me? Probably, but I won't fight it. I will try to convince them to keep the titles, though. We'll see!

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great week as well!
