A Christmas Silly

December eighteenth
she was running out of time
The Day would be upon us
before she finished this rhyme

Out came the list's, out came decor
up went the tree with ornaments galore

The hubster desired
those movies of war
Her diva she wanted
this, that and more

The cookies were unbaked
The holiday meal not yet planned
Her writing still stalled
It was quite out of hand.

A mere week to go
she could not finish on time
perhaps she just needed
to draw a firm line

What could she say, what would she do?

"Christmas is cancelled"
to harsh it was true
she loved this sweet holiday
more than anyone knew

She needed to stop,
and take a cleansing breath
open her mind
dig deep into its depth

Relax, calm down
it would all be okay!
No need to frown
on this marvelous day.

So with water so warm
The bubbles did call
Out came her list
At least ten feet tall

Her wants and desires
so simple indeed
ebooks my fine people
I just need to READ!!

May your holiday season be calm, your family and friends be healthy and hale and your ebook gifts be plenty! ;)

***unabashed promo ahead***

If you know anyone like this poor lady, who could use a holiday pick me up, may I suggest a few ebook essentials...

At Last!

Did you ever have a book that just wouldn't leave you alone? The characters were insistent about telling you their story and the plot came to you at odd times, waking you up or making you dig for a pen and any scrap of paper so that you could get an idea down?

Assassin's Kiss was just that kind of book. I just found out last night that it will be available from Ellora's Cave September 25! Here's a sneak peak at the cover and blurb. I hope you enjoy it!

“You can only take so much away from a person before they either fight or give up.”

Kira Randall


Her only crime was being born. She is the key to a secret that the Jaguar Council will kill to keep and their ancient enemy, the Brotherhood, will kill to possess. Kira Randall, a two-natured, jaguar shifter in heat treks to the Guatemalan jungle, desperate for the sex she craves. What she finds is danger, death, and Bastian, a blatantly sexual three-natured, Jaguar assassin who rescues her from the rogues he's been tracking, only to find she is more dangerous.
Halflings have been forbidden by the Jaguar Council for centuries. Killing her should have been easy.
Torn between his desire for Kira and his duty to protect the Jaguar People, Bastian can’t resist the first touch of her naked flesh or her heated demands.
Yielding to a dangerous, forbidden passion, they are caught in a treacherous web of deceit as they race against time, fighting their way through a growing list of enemies to save the same Jaguar People who would condemn them. Their only hope is each other.
