Freebie Hurry and you can get a FREE kindle version of my book Performance Criteria! (This offer ends on June 6th)
What do you get when you have an IQ that is off the charts, the inability to let go of someone you love and a lot of spare parts? The man of your dreams, of course. Dr. Aeron Braxton is on the verge of unveiling her newest creation–a droid who can pass as either human or Vanos.
An alien race took the man she loved away from her, but her revenge is at hand. Aeron has rebuilt Brad into a living, breathing killing machine she hopes will save the outer quadrants from a mass Vanos invasion.
Too bad the brilliant scientist didn’t calculate the probabilities of love getting in the way.
WARNING: This book contains hot, explicit sex and violence explained with contemporary, graphic language.

Saturday Snippet
Saturday Snippet: This is a new segment to my blog dreamed up by the lovely and talented Lauren Dane. She went above and beyond, gathering like minded authors who wanted to do some great cross promotions. Here is the fruit of her labor. Please be sure to visit the author with links provided in this post as well. They’ll be posting on their blogs too–same topic but they may handle it or interpret it differently.
Let’s get started.
This week’s topic is Defining Moments. Now, I’m sure I have many of these in my books that I could share with you all but I’d like to share a personal one.
I fell into writing. If you follow my blog or Raven Radio you know that I never set out to do this and that I was reluctant to do much with it in the beginning. After a good swift kick in the ass by one of my close friends, I subbed a manuscript.
I remember release day well. I was on pins and needles. I worried people would hate it, laugh at it, want to throw stones at me. The works. Reviews and emails started coming in and helped to set my mind at ease. I still wasn’t sure if this was "my calling" or something I was doing to just exercise my mind. It wasn’t until I received an email from a reader who read Daughter of Darkness and wanted to share that it helped her through a dark period in her life. That she’d reached her lowest point and due to circumstances I won’t pass on because they’re private, she just stopped wanting to do anything–get up, get dressed, anything. She told me that after reading the book she felt such a spark of spunk from the character that it really stuck with her, hitting home, helping her to take the steps needed to improve her situation. That was my defining moment. The moment I realized this isn’t just a job or a hobby. Its my life and I’m humbled and honored to this day that she and the others like her who have taken time out to email me to tell me that I made a difference.
To all of you who have emailed please know that YOU have all made a difference in my life too and that I’m thankful each and every day to have such amazing and supportive readers.
Thank you!

Hello 30. Goodbye body.
I’ve been thirty for ten days now and I’m thoroughly convinced that gravity is doing it’s best to get a head start on making me trip over my own breasts but hey, why the hell not? I’ve been having long talks with my ass in hopes that it won’t mistake the back of my leg as a resting spot. The last thing I want is for my legs primary function to become acting as ass stilts for me so cross your fingers. The irony of turning thirty is I am now in the ‘sexual prime’ of my life. Some sadistic bastard thinks that is funny out there. I so hope you and Dole have to start doing commercials together!
It’s sad when Low Rider continues to play in my head when I look in the mirror. Is that an omen? Should I call a surgeon now? I could be the six million dollar woman, stronger, faster and have that super cool chaa, chaa, chaa noise going on in the background while I’m on the treadmill. I could so kick big foot’s ass.
Seriously though, it hit me that I was not longer the girl I used to be when I set up compilation lists to play while writing. I ran across some old tapes a while back and had to laugh at the difference. I’d like to say it’s because I’m maturing not because my taste in music sucks.
My idea of sexy songs went from Boom Boom (let’s go back to my room) to Sexual Healing. I so bought Lionel Richie and Kool and the Gang the other day. I spent years making fun of my mother for listening to this stuff. Now, this gives me a wonderful idea. Since I spent so long on my Christmas wish list, I think I’ll do a ‘just turned 30 one’ now too.
Men who cannot handle the following need not apply for entrance into the male petting zoo I’m starting for horny women of the world to go. It truly would be the happiest place on earth. I’ve already decided to play It’s Raining Men non-stop there while I sit and do “research” for my next book.
To apply, you must meet the following requirements:
- Must be willing to dance to KC and the Sunshine Band with a straight face without looking as though you are seizing.
- Must firmly believe that Feel Like Making Love is one of the most beautiful songs you’ve heard.
- Must be able to keep pace with Salt-N-Peppa’s Push It. We don’t care if you have back issues or if you are no longer twenty. Keep up or get out of line.
- On slower days INXS’s Need You Tonight will be accepted in place of Push It but don’t expect slow days to happen too often.
- If we decide that we want a cowboy for the day, you must know the words to at least one one country song and you must look like Toby Keith or Tim McGraw in the hat. Conway Twitty look-a-likes will be turned away at the door.
- If you truly believe you’re the gangster of love, prove it and we’ll think about letting you love our peaches. Tree shakin’ is still under consideration.
- You must be able to us take on a Magic Carpet Ride and we better enjoy the ride. We don’t want the lil’ carpet that could. We want the big carpet that did.
- Must find dancing to Pigeonhead’s Battle Flag as fun as we do. If you do, we’ll treat you to something special while that beat is still pumping.
- Must know when, if ever, it’s acceptable to play Prince’s Cream, When the Doves Cry or Kiss. We reserve the right to never explain the correct moments, if any.
- In the event you find yourself sleeping outside, you must hold a boom box (mp3 players with adequate speakers are permitted) above your head while playing Ain’t No Sunshine (when she’s gone) by Bill Withers or any Foreigner song. I think they must have been kicked out a lot. Every friggin’ song they have could work.
- If you make us think of Bee Gee songs you MUST look as good as John used to look in those polyester pants as he shook his ass on the dance floor.
- If Mony Mony comes on and you aren’t standing behind us ready to grind in two point two seconds you will be fired.
- Must never mention we’re too old to want to hear Let’s Go All the Way when we’re going all the way.
- When we ask you to list one Hall & Oats song that makes you think of us, you had better NOT list Maneater or Rich Girl. Pssst…I personally like One on One.
- Must fully understand that bringing When A Man Loves A Woman into the equation when in trouble will not win you points with us. It will win you a swift kick in the ass. Bring it in when we aren’t mad at you and you’ll have less of a chance at pissing us off to begin with.
- Ninch Inch Nails must be perfectly acceptable music to play while your parents are visiting.
- Must understand that we reserve the right to change these rules without notice and that all men let into the petting zoo to be displayed for women must look good in a loincloth and/or leather pants.
I’m so NOT proofing this. I hate edits. Give me this moment to screw up and not need 4 billon edits. LOL

Original “air” date Saturday, August 14, 2004 (was a post from my old blog–its even funnier when you read the comments on old blog and see my uncle read it too. OY)
But I’m feelin’ very Brazilian, or at least a certain part of me is. (hint, hint) There are many pros to this newfound freedom. I am now unconstricted. Velcro is my friend once more. No longer do I shy away from the maxi pad aisle. I can use adhesives without hesitation. Better than that I can now avoid the senseless squirm when my hubby decides to travel to exotic locations. The beaches have not only been combed they have been sandblasted.
The cons. For a solid two days after my newfound freedom my ‘lips’ were swollen. Can I just say ouch and get a hug? The incredible lengths we as women go to will never cease to amaze me. If I’m not plucking, I’m waxing, or sanding it (yes, you read that right). I’m Italian, why is it that I feel the need to fight nature? And what do you use to ease the discomfort? Chap stick? Utter cream? Can you approach the pharmacist with a stratight face? “Excuse me, Sir…my lips are chapped… can you help me?” Do you then have to elaborate further?
Do men go through this? NO! Do I have penis envy now? If it would ease the pain I would take one, thank you! ROFLMAO! I have no clue what I would do with it, and I’m thinking that my aim wouldn’t be so good.
Hmm, moral to the story is that a tropical trip is a wonderful experience and can leave you feeling ultra sexy or utlra sore. Roll the dice, baby!

Day in the Life Hubby took me to shooting range with him and handed me the 22. He set us up on the 50 yard one, putting up his own target to fire his Mosin-Nagant (no, I’m not quite there yet… that sucker fires 7.62 rounds). Anyway, I impressed him and myself. I shot 50 rounds from the .22 and here are the results (note that only two were outside the black square, most I struck more than once in the same spot). Also, big Roth kid pointed out that I made the shape of a cross. LOL
