Stilettos & Scoundrels – the book that started it all

No matter how much time goes by or how many books I write, the one that will always be nearest and dearest to my heart is the book that started it all, Stilettos & Scoundrels.

Since the day I decided to follow my childhood dream of being an author this book has been through everything you can imagine. Many title changes, character names, plot changes, 3 different book covers, 4 different editors, and many meltdowns by me to get it to this point which is hundreds of ebook downloads a day and with the audio version just being released on Audible, iTunes, and Amazon a few audio book downloads a day.

It thrills me each time someone downloads my book (and not because of money as the ebook is FREE) to know I have the chance to entertain them and if they like what they read, the chance to keep entertaining them through my subsequent novels. The supportive fans are what have kept me writing even though at times it can be tough. Comments I have received such as this one:

Just wondering when Tiaras & Texans will be released? I’m in need of a Cooper fix haha :)

Keep me going even when negative comments make me want to stop.

So thank you fans, supporters, and friends with special thanks to my fictional characters for making my life a fun place to be!

If you haven’t yet read Stilettos & Scoundrels it’s available FREE in ebook format on Kindle, Nook, iTunes, Kobo, and Smashwords or if you prefer the audio book purchase for $19.99 on Audible or $17.95 on iTunes.

I almost peed my pants

Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook was OMG, rip roaring, hilarious! I laughed out loud so many times that my significant other went into the other room to work (I think spitting wine out my nose was the last straw for him). While I also enjoyed Claire’s first book, Must Love Dogs which turned into… Read the Rest »

FREE Stilettos & Scoundrels

Available on Kindle, Nook, iTunes, Kobo, and soon on Audible.
Gently touching the handle of the front door was all it took to make it swing wide open. It was late, after midnight, and everyone in the house except Tom was asleep. As usual, Tom was in his study working late. Walking carefully and quietly through the foyer, the adrenaline began to kick in. The intruder confidently walked into Tom’s study. Tom was concentrating so hard on the papers in front of him that he was unaware of anything else. Raising his hand, the intruder hit a stack of books sitting on a side table, sending them crashing to the floor. Tom spun around with a look of shock on his face as he recognized the person swinging a sharp object toward him. Tom raised his hands to protect himself but he wasn’t quick enough. The spikey end of the stiletto heel punctured his neck instantly, sending a spray of blood over the papers on his desk. He tried to cry out, but all that sounded was a gurgling noise as his lungs filled with blood.

The intruder set the shoe down next to Tom and backed out of the room softly, closing the door to the study and hoping no one would come looking for Tom until morning.
