Excited for the upcoming Twitter contests

I can't wait for the contests to start.

I'm sitting on top of a polished manuscript Duly Noted and I absolutely love it - today at least. ;) It was born from an idea I had over the summer. The words started pouring out in September, and it was finished it near the end of November. 
Edited it, re-worked it and sent it off to my CP's. Then edited, re-worked it some more and now I'm happy with it. My CP's are happy. My beta's are thrilled. My BFF loves it (and yes her opinion counts most of all... wink wink). Plus, she's brutally honest too. No sugar coating from her. 

Anyways. So my baby is ready to venture out in the world. My pitches are ready. 

I will update which (if any) get "likes" and from whom.
Wish me luck.

And if you see one you like on Twitter, RT it freely, but under no circumstances "like" it. Save that for the publishers.

My pitches will be updated as the day goes on.

Good luck to my fellow writers.


These were my pitches, and my success. It was a fun day and hopefully these likes will turn into fulls and maybe a contract?? 

#1 Aurora has PTSD from a car crash & a Percocet addiction. But she's met her match in Nate - a man racing to help her.  - Two Faves - Limitless & BlueMoon 

#2 She has PTSD from a car crash & loves Percocet. She must overcome her fear of cars if she's to be a part of HIS world  - One Fav - RRPI

#3 Falling in love is hard enough. Throw in Aurora's drug addiction & Nate's PTSD-inducing hobby & you have .

#4 With his unusual method, can Nate help Aurora overcome her PTSD so she can be a part of HIS adrenaline fuelled world?  - two faves (Limitless & RRPI)

#5 When an event goes horribly wrong, it threatens to undo what Nate helped Aurora overcome. He survived, will she?

#6 How can Aurora stay with Nate when his hobby threatens to undo all her progress in overcoming her PTSD?

Can you help me choose?

I'm working on re-blurbing a novel. I've come up with two and I like them both, but for different reasons. Which one do you prefer?? Help me decide which one to use. (#1 or #2; This one or That one). Charlotte doesn't think she deserves happily ever after... And she's determined to prove it. She believes in true love about as much as she believes there is life on Jupiter. After all she’s dealt with in her nineteen years, she’s unwilling to further expose her soul to more heartache and surrenders the idea of ever finding eternal happiness. Until she meets him . Andrew Wagner challenges everything Charlotte ever thought she knew about love. Taken by his charm and patience, she becomes drawn to him in a way she’s never known and doesn’t understand. However comfortable and at peace with him she is, she struggles with her intensifying feelings.  But Andrew wants more than secrets and stories. He wants a piece of her heart. With every assurance he’s ...

Duly Noted - Chapter 1

Chapter One The laughter died in a split-second. No one saw it coming. Metal snapped, scrapped and twisted. The air reeked of something salty and mercurial. Life changed forever. May 24. 10:17 p.m. The rain poured down, blanketing everything in its path with a cold wetness that chilled to the bone. The dark sky blew up with arcs of forked lightning, lighting up the area for miles. In the distance, sirens wailed, getting louder on approach. Gasps and inaudible sounds came from the onlookers who stood around drenched yet watching. Unable to help. Unsure of where to start. *** Aurora drove through the pounding rain, with her momma in the passenger seat, and Carmen behind her. Normally Carmen would drive, as she attended the University there, but tonight she let Aurora take the wheel. They enjoyed a perfect girl’s weekend– eating more than normal, staying out late and shopping. Laughing, and singing off key to an old country song on the radio, they headed back to their...

The original ending went like this...

Back when I first typed out SERVING UP INNOCENCE, and long before it had a title or was even thought to become part of a series, I finished the ending in a less than ideal way. Shayne didn't get the guy she really wanted. She ended up not growing and made decisions that ended up being better for everyone else. It wasn't right and it didn't work. Rereading the original ending on a second and third pass, I knew it didn't fit her character as there was no character growth. I gave my own book a 2 star rating at that point. LOL. There wasn't even a real Happy Ever After, which if you write Romance, is expected (just like finding the killer is important to murder mysteries but more on that later). Reading the original ending, I knew what was going to happen... it was clear as day to me. So, why not then change the ending to reflect that? And in three short clicks, the ending was cut out and re-filed into a folder where I store my cut material (it makes for some inte...
