Happy New Year!

I know 2016 was a tough year for many.  I admit it was a particularly challenging year for me.  So I'd like to thank you all for the countless times you made me smile with comments, messages, emails, reviews, and more and the many times you made me laugh.  I'm so glad I've been able to make some of you laugh and smile as well. 

I hope 2017 will bring you and yours great happiness, health, love, laughter, and prosperity. :-)

One thing I've always loved about the holiday season is the lighting.  Since much of that is taken down shortly after we ring in the new year, I thought I'd share some of the lovely displays that caught my eye this year.

I'd also like to thank Kimberly, the Caffeinated Book Reviewer, for choosing A Sorceress of His Own as one of her Top 10 Favorite Audiobook Listens of 2016.

That was such a wonderful surprise and a great way to end my year.  :-)

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's already 2016!  2015 passed so quickly!  Thank you all for making it such a wonderful year.  I took a big step in 2015 and indie published A Sorceress of His Own, a book that has always been a favorite of mine, launching an all new series at the same time.  And I'm so glad I did.  I couldn't have done it without your support, which means so much to me.  Thank you again.  :-)

I'm ringing in the new year with giveaways over on My Facebook Page.  I hope you'll join me and enter to win signed books, Immortal Guardians pens, flashlight keychains, bookmarks, trading cards, and postcards.  :-)

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  The first of 2015.  :-)  For today's selection, I've chosen a micro-excerpt from Night Unbound, Immortal guardians Book 5, that features Zach and Lisette (the hero and heroine):

His wings tucked away, Zach swung at her with preternatural speed. 

Lisette blocked the hit with her forearm and threw a punch of her own. 

A flurry of hits and kicks ensued, all blocked. 

“Halt,” she called out. 

Zach stilled, eyes glowing. 

She grinned and shook her head.  “You are so strange.” 

“Why?” he asked. 

“You’re turned on, aren’t you?” 

“Yes,” he said, exhibiting no embarrassment, then shrugged.  “Much like your brother, I admire strong women.  Or rather I admire the strong woman standing before me.   I don’t really notice others.” 

“And now I’m turned on,” she said dryly.  A dozen supermodels could stand naked in front of Zach, and Lisette honestly didn’t think he would pay them any attention. 

Smiling, he leaned down to kiss her.

Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend!
