Author Henry Elder came to Alta Novis to learn more about the fabled battle lord and his lady. But rather than re-tell the tales of their already well-known exploits, he wants to hear about the couple from the people who really know them. The people who live, love, interact, and fight alongside with them. He wants to hear those personal anecdotes in order to discover a side of Yulen and Atty D'Jacques that few people know.

These are the stories he discovered.

Henry feels he's hit the jackpot when Liam MaGrath agrees to tell him a story about the battle lord and lady. He never anticipated the emotional impact he'd receive upon hearing it.

All he wanted was a little paint modification for his new car.

 EXCERPT:   

           “But I want that car.” He emphasized each word very clearly, very distinctly.

            “Sir,” the salesman began again, leaning over his black Lucite and chrome desk. “As I’ve said before, you can have the car. I would love to sell you the car, but it must be as is. The model does not come with the option for additional decoration.”

            Rolling his eyes, Deems tried to compromise. “Surely there is somebody in your body shop who can do a decent paint job? Hell and damnation! How much trouble can it be to add a few simple racing stripes?” Feeling the heat rise up into his face, he realized he needed to calm down or his doctor would double up the dosage on his blood pressure medicine.

            “If I’m gonna pay a hundred and eighty-eight thousand for a car, the least you can do is get some red paint and put two or three of those real pretty, skinny lines all the way down the sides, just above the fender line. Crap, I’d do it myself but I haven’t got a real steady hand. Not at my age, anyway.” And I’m too damn old for all this nonsense, too, Deems thought as he pulled a hand across his forehead.

            The salesclerk stood up. “Look, do you mind if I go talk with my manager for a minute?” The impasse had to end somewhere, and it was obvious it was going to take the intervention of someone higher up before any further progress could be made.

             “Please do!” Deems snapped. “And if he won’t agree to my request, I’ll want to have a talk with him myself!” he yelled at the retreating back. “Haven’t you people ever heard the phrase ‘the customer is always right’?”

A young woman discovers the penalty for having excessive non-payments to her credit card company.

Excerpt:

           Several things battered my abused senses all at once—the slatted bench I was sitting on, the black and white checkerboard floor tile under my feet that was smeared with redness, the blood dripping from my fingertips and watchband. A piece of something hanging from the tip of my nose. Images floated around me half-noticed, unimportant.

            A tissue dabbed at my face. When it pulled away, I saw it was spotted with blood. Voices faded in and out.

            “I don’t know how—”

            “Have you talked to any of the other eyewitnesses?”

            “Oh, God, I can’t believe it! Oh, God. Oh, my God!” This last voice was soft, very soft, and full of raw horror. Then I realized it was mine.               
            “...exploded, Officer. Blooey!”

Amanda Storey was sent by her company to a tiny rural town to convince the community that having a chain mega-supermarket built there would be a boon to their economy and job market.

 

She never showed up for the town hall meeting, even though the company insists she was scheduled to be there.  The motor inn where she had reservations claimed she never checked in, and police have not found any trace of her body or her car.

This is what really happened.

My Free Read is Now Live!

Check out my free read, now LIVE over at the Truly Madly Deeply Romance Authors blog!

It's called "Fly Me to the Moon", and it's a sweet urban fantasy romantic short.

Blurb:  Where does a superhero go to find love?

After fruitless years of searching, Laurel finally went to an internet dating site to look for Mr. Right. What she found was her own personal superhero.

RRP Has Contracted 36 EXPOSURES!

Red Rose Publishing has just contracted my previous Amazon Short 36 Exposures! Yay!

I've taken this erotic urban fantasy short story and re-edited it, as well as expanded it slightly. I'm thrilled this story has found a new home! :D

Blurb:

What if you could take a picture of your true soulmate in life before you ever met her?

It was an innocent roll of film she found on the street. But when Jolee Wiley had it developed, hoping she might be able to find its owner from the pictures on it, she came face-to-face with a shocking impossibility.

Mike Owensby was an Archivist. A Dreams Keeper. The roll of film belonged to him. And the woman who found it may be the lover he had been seeking all his life.

New Contract!

Great news! Red Rose Publishing has just contracted my little mainstream short entitled SANDCASTLE. This sweet Christmas story will be released in time for the holidays! Whoohoo!

Blurb:
Terrie Myers never believed life would give her a second chance at anything. Little did she understand the draw of a little girl with dreams of a knight in shining armor. Or the magic of hope that would turn those dreams into reality.
