EXCERPT
When Lucy floated back across the room, Lana glimpsed a terrified face in the window nearest the side door leading to the carport. It was her neighbor, Roxie Thomas, with curlers in her strawberry blonde hair and cold cream still covering her horrified face. When the dress glided toward a filing cabinet, Roxie’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. The closed window muffled her screams.
“Get back! Roxie saw you. I mean, she saw your dress. I’ll see if I can talk to her.” But as Lana reached the door, Roxie ran away, her screeches fading as she widened the space between their houses.
“Fix this situation before I bring her back.” Lana slammed the door behind her.
Lana’s house sat on stilts with two rooms adjacent to the carport at ground level–one room, the one closest to the carport sufficed as her new PI office leading into a library, entertainment and den combination. The office and the other room were divided by a wall with an arched doorway. Stairs led to the second level open-floor plan containing a living room-kitchen combination, two bedrooms with an adjoining bathroom between them.
Trotting across the yard, she caught up with Roxie on the other side of the hedge. “Roxie, wait up.” Roxie dashed for her house without looking back.
“Stay away from me, you…you…you witch! I’m calling the cops.” She stumbled up the steps sideways and sank slowly to her knees on her front porch.
“Don’t be ridiculous! It’s not what you think. Please, come back and see. Besides, how will you explain to the police that you were peeping in my window? They don’t like peeping Roxies around here, you know. They’ve already warned you about it.” Lana leaned down to help her up, but Roxie snatched her hand away.
“Don’t touch me! Stay away!” Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “I know what I saw. They’ll believe me this time.” Roxie wrapped her arms around her middle as if it would ward off any evil Lana may do to her.
“Okay, okay, now, just calm down. I only want to help you. Where’s Ralph? Can I get him for you?” Lana motioned toward the front door.
Roxie held her hand up, palm out. “Don’t come any closer. He’s right inside, he is.” Her voice trembled. “He’ll be out here any minute, so d-don’t you try any of your witchcraft voodoo on me. I’ve always known there was something weird about you…about your whole family.”
“What’s going on out here, Roxie?” A big-bellied man with thinning hair stood in the doorway.
“Ralph, oh, Ralph, I’m glad you’re here. She’s a witch. I-I saw her making stuff float around her office.” She gestured with her hands in the air while describing what she’d seen.
“Mr. Thomas, I just came to explain to your wife that what she saw was a new gadget I’ve invented to dry clothes.” Lana smiled. “Your wife thinks I twitched my nose or something to make a dress float across the room.”

Other Books Available in the Series
In book two, GET OUT OR DIE, the success of Lana’s first case has spread throughout the local Charleston area and her business is booming. At one pro-bono job, Lana helps a widow communicate with her late husband where she learns of a frightening new ability—an ability that could give the next spirit, an angry ghost, the upper hand if she’s not careful.
In book three, THE WEDDING CRASHER, Lana is on her honeymoon in Gatlinburg, Tennessee when she learns that a reoccurring vision about an abducted woman took place in nearby Knoxville. This case takes her hiking up mountainsides and trekking through rough terrain to find a madman before he can harm this young woman.
In the fourth book, CHRISTMAS CRUISE, Lana boards a cruise ship haunted by dead women who were brutally murdered. While aboard the ship Lana has an experience that mentally injures her. Once she recovers, she’s more determined than ever to find the murderer.

Blurb ~ 
Nash is trying to make a name for himself in the art world…
But when he meets a realtor to buy a gallery, he is stunned to find Chloe sitting at the table with the man.
He has never stopped thinking about her since she disappeared from his life without a trace. Is it too late to win back her love?
Chloe has finally found a way to leave her past behind her…
But her heart leaps out of her chest when she sees Nash. How can he be here?
Now…after all this time? On the surface, she pulls herself back together. But underneath she feels she is about to shatter. After remaking herself, how can she deal with being faced with Nash and the life she knew before?
If this chance meeting doesn’t rip Chloe and Nash apart, he will.
Little do they know, someone has been lurking in the shadows, manipulating them all along. If he has his way, the two will never be reunited. Even if he has to take one of them out to ensure it.
Excerpt ~
I watched from my bedroom window, peering through the branches of the huge oak tree growing at the corner of the front of the house. A large moving van backed slowly up the long, rambling gravel driveway. I held my breath, and repeated in a low whisper, “Please have a boy my age. Please have a boy my age.”
When the truck finally came to a stop, and the door of the cab opened, a cowboy hat appeared on someone about my size and I whooped with glee, pounding down the stairs and out the back door, slamming the screen door as I hollered over my shoulder, “They have a boy! They have a boy!”
My mom called after me as she iced a chocolate cake. “Nash Steven Nabry, you get back here this instant. The last thing they need is you underfoot.”
But I ignored her, running pell-mell to the truck, kicking up rock behind me. Even now I can recall the scratch of my tennis shoes as I made a sliding stop in front of her, scattering gravel left and right, and the way the rock dust filled my throat and nostrils as much as my indignation. “You’re a girl,” I spat.
“Nash!” my mother’s appalled voice yelled from several yards behind me. I still don’t understand how she could always hear every impolite word I spoke, yet not hear me when I called up the stairs asking her where the cereal was. Then Chloe’s father came around the back end of the truck, and the grownups introduced themselves while I stared at Chloe and Chloe stared at me like this was a showdown at the O.K. Corral, which was fitting considering her outfit. Looking back, my mind automatically added the dramatic, high-pitched, whistling notes from the theme song to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, a Clint Eastwood movie my brother, Ed, liked to watch. Chloe rubbed a fist in her eye, which probably was irritated by the chalky, drifting dust I raised from the gravel, squinting the other eye in the bright sunshine as she glared at me.

Birthplace– I was born in New York City, but was raised in Cold Springs, New York. It’s where I met Nash.
Currently residing– in a tiny apartment in New York. Good location, though.
Favorite type of pet– I’ve never had a pet. I think I’d enjoy just about any pet. I’m not sure if I’d be good at taking care of them, though.

Interview with Harmony Duprie from The Marquesa’s Necklace and Her Ladyship’s Ring.
1. What’s your job?
I’m currently working as a researcher for a group of authors. Most of my research is on the English Victorian era, but I’ve also explored the life of the scientists at the McMurdo station on Antarctica and the Rockefeller family. Before that I was a librarian for the City of Oak Grove. Circumstances forced me out of that job.
2. What’s your favorite place to visit?
I love the Washington D.C. area. The museums, the stores, the large number of activities. No matter how often I make the trip, I’m never bored. But I don’t want to live there, it’s too busy and too crowded for me to stay for more than a week or so before I want to go home.
3. What’s your most important goal?
I want to be the chief librarian in a small-town library. I’ve got a Master’s Degree in Library Science, and until I was arrested from drug trafficking, I thought I had a change. I wasn’t, of course. Selling drugs, that is. But that’s still my dream. I may have to move to make it happen, and that’s what’s holding me back. I really like living in Oak Grove.
4. What’s your favorite food?
Anything Italian, really. Spaghetti, lasagna, chicken parmesan. I don’t go as far as making my own pasta but I do make my own sauce. I usually make too much of whatever I’m preparing so that I have leftovers to either share with my landlords or have to eat later on.
5. Are you wealthy, poor, or somewhere in between?
I don’t share this information very often, but I’m relatively wealthy, thanks to an inheritance from my parents. I just choose not to live that way. I’d rather live only on what I earn. I rent an apartment, buy my furniture second-hand, cook for myself. It’s simpler that way.
Excerpt from The Marquesa’s Necklace
“Have a seat, please,” he said, indicating an armless office chair—at least its seat was padded. He sat on the other side of a desk covered with an assortment of files and paperwork, and picked up a file from the top of the stack.
“Harmony,” he said tentatively.
“Detective Thomason,” He might be trying to be friendly, but I still hadn’t forgiven him for arresting me.
He cleared his throat, and set the file back on his desk. “Did you let anyone borrow your car today?” he asked.
“No, my keys are right here.” I started digging through the contents of my purse.
“I’ll take your word for it,” he said, after I pulled out my checkbook, a packet of pink tissues, and a paperback with an almost-naked man on the front cover and piled them on the corner of his desk. His mouth twitched. “Have you made any new enemies recently, Miss Duprie?” I guess he got my message about the terms of our relationship.
“Besides a certain insufferable cop?” Even in the artificial fluorescent light, I saw the red rising in his cheeks. I could almost hear him counting to ten as I pretended to consider the question. “I think Larry, the florist, is ticked off that I’m not receiving flowers anymore. And Bart at the grocery store yelled at me last week when I went through the ten items or less line with fourteen items. But what does that have to do with someone stealing and wrecking my car?”
The Marquesa’s Necklace Blurb
Harmony Duprie enjoyed her well-ordered life in the quiet little town of Oak Grove—until her arrest for drug trafficking. Cleared of all charges, she wants nothing more than to return to the uneventful lifestyle of a historical researcher she once savored.
But when her beloved old car “George” is stolen and explodes into a ball of flames, it sets off a series of events that throws her plans into turmoil. Toss in a police detective that may or may not be interested in her, an attractive but mysterious stranger on her trail, and an ex-boyfriend doing time, and Harmony’s life freefalls into a downward spiral of chaos.
Now she has to use her research skills to figure out who is behind the sinister incidents plaguing her, and why. And she better take it seriously, like her life depends upon finding the right answers.
Because it might.

by Kasia | Feb 20, 2016 | Motivation, Writing
Do you want to be a fast writer? Do you wonder how some writers manage to put out three, five or even ten books a year? What’s the secret to becoming a prolific writer?
We all have the same 24 hours in the day we simply choose to use them differently. We all have our own commitments, responsibilities and interests. Writing is not always on top of the priority list. Sometimes when the urge hits you just want to put your feet up and forget everything.
If you’re a writer with a full time job, family, friends, and a host of other responsibilities, finding the time to write doesn’t always top the priority list. You might be too tired after a long day in the office. Or maybe your kids are fighting for your attention. Or your husband wants you to cook dinner instead of hide away with your laptop in a dark corner of your home.
Whatever it is, it’s stopping you from becoming the writer you want to be.
Time. It’s a lacking commodity in most of our lives. After you account for sleep, work, eating, showering, commuting, the household chores, socialising and all the other little tasks that take up your day there’s very little time or energy left to do anything else. Writing becomes the last thing on your mind.
The truth is you’ve heard it all before. You need to make the time to write. If you want to be a writer, you have to write, and write everyday.
If you want to have been written. Well that’s another story, and you can keep dreaming while leaving room for all the writers who actually enjoy the act of putting words to paper including the mental strain and physical exhaustion that sometimes comes along with it.
I get most of my writing done on the train. A two-and-a-half hour daily commute to work gives me plenty of time to write. In the past six months I have written two novel drafts and two novellas as well as dozens of articles and blog posts. That’s not too bad given I don’t put in much time writing after work or on weekends. That time is taken up by other activities, mainly spending time with my twenty-two-month old son.
I don’t make excuses. I’ve realised I want to write for a living and I want to write books. That’s my dream and I want to make the dream a reality. Do you?
So how do you get that sort of output or better? It comes down to the following:
Organisation
Planning
Time Management
You need to know how to organise your time as a writer. Figure out what is taking up most of your day and find snippets of time where you can focus on writing. You don’t need massive chunks: there are writers who get novels written in small fifteen minute increments. That doesn’t mean they aren’t working on the story in their head during other times. Organise yourself so that you commit to at least thirty minutes of writing every day.
Look at your diary. List all the things that you have to do in a given week. The list might seem enormous but it doesn’t need to overwhelm you.
Planning is important. If your writing time is limited the last thing you want to be doing when you sit down is having to think about what to write. You want that part already all planned out and ready to go. You moments throughout the day to plan what you’re going to write when your writing session arrives.
You have your list, now spread the tasks out over the seven days. They don’t have to be even. Some days will be more demanding than others. That’s life.
Time management is your friend. The better you can manage your time the better off you will be. Write up an outline for each day of the week. What takes up the majority of your time? Where are you wasting time? Is there anything you can give up? Where are gaps that you can use for your writing?
Consider all the activities on your list every day. How long do they actually take to do? Sure you might have to do the washing, clean the house, pay the bills, meet a friend for coffee and pick up and drop off the kids to school, and make sure everyone is fed and the homework is done. The day is gone before you know it. But maybe you can cluster some activities or start the day with writing.
Where can you fit in the writing?
Put writing as the first thing you do in the morning even if it means losing a half hour of sleep. Prepare your writing materials the night before. Think about what you want to write about as you dose of to sleep. When you wake up the next morning, before doing anything else, go to your writing space and write for an uninterrupted half an hour. At first this may seem difficult but you’ll find that after a week or so, your muse will show up at the designated time.
If you’re a night owl, then swap watching reality tv for writing. On average, people watch about four hours of television per day. Halve your average and you’ll find a decent chunk of writing time every day.
What’s more important- watching The Desperate Real Housewives of New York or getting your novel written?
You’ll find that once you start organising, planning and becoming a pro at time management your writing will improve. Often people assume that in order to write well the process has to be slow and laborious. It doesn’t. But you have to decide whether you want to be a one-hit wonder or a long-term prolific writer earning a living from your books?
I know I’d prefer prolific.
I used to slave away at a piece of writing for hours. It didn’t do me or the writing any good. In fact it stalled my progress as a writer. I’d torture myself for years over one book that would never see the light of day. It was depressing and it would only lead to starving artist syndrome.
Thanks, but no thanks.
The moment it hit me that I didn’t have to write just one book per year; that I could churn out more than 2500 words per day; that I could follow my own plan and schedule, I became free to produce on my own timeline. It was liberating.
Indie publishing has given writers a sense of freedom. We can break the rules that traditional publishers have set and still produce quality work.
You no longer have to produce a 90,000-word novel. You can write three 30,000-word novellas and sell them individually or as a box-set. You don’t have to wait for eighteen months before your book hits the market. You can write it in January, edit and cover design in February and have it out for sale in March.
If you want to be a prolific writer the market is your oyster. You can do anything you want.
Here’s a little caveat for those who think they’ll produce publishing worthy material on a weekly basis. You could, anything is possible. But in order for it to be marketable and attract a readership you’re going to have to hire editors and cover designers, then proofread your work. So don’t sacrifice quality over quantity. Nora Roberts might write a book every forty-five days but she also has a team of editors and designers to do her work and a publisher and a following to take care of her marketing.
The more you write, the more you schedule, the more familiar you’ll be with your output and you will be able to plan accordingly. Over the past twelve months I’ve come to realise that if I write four days per week during my work commute I can get down around 3000 words per day. That’s 12,000 words per week. If I do that seven days per week, then that’s about 21,000 words.
I could write a novel a month or two novellas.
Funnily enough, the faster I write, the tighter my writing becomes and my editing process is much smoother. I still make a long of changes; my husband often asks do I really need to do that, and I always say yes, because you never write the book the first time around. You put down a skeleton, sometimes a lean one sometimes a chunky one. The editing is separating the fat from the muscle to create a story that the writer is happy with and hopefully the reader will enjoy.
I’m going to keep writing faster and increasing my output. With each book I hope to become a better writer. There’s no point in doing this if you don’t seek improvements. I’m in this for the long term so I’m going to organise, plan and manage my time accordingly so that one day, I too can be a prolific writer.
I’ve been writing for twenty years, blogging for eight, and dreaming of making a living as an author as I sit and pen my novels with a view of the beach (I’m actually writing this at a cafe across from the beach, it’s raining but still beautiful) ever since I can remember. I have a goal to publish six books in 2016 (three novellas and three novels). Four were drafted over the past six months which means all I have to do is edit. They are all in a series so adding another two shouldn’t be an issue as I already have my characters and my setting and I’ve almost figured out how the story is going to develop.
For the first time in a long time I am excited that I can be the author I’ve always dreamed of. This will be my business. My only regret is not starting sooner.
How are your organising, planning and managing your time?
Today’s Challenge
* Are you struggling to find the time to write? Take stock of all your activities. How long do you spend on the phone? Internet? Watching tv? Is there anything you can delegate to your family? Make an appointment with yourself and keep it. Start with ten minutes a day. Build it up to whatever works for you. Books, articles and blogs aren’t written overnight. They are the result of constant hard work, a little bit every day will make a significant difference twelve months down the track. (You can do this for any activity you want to start – just make the time!)
* Grab the book that you’re currently working on. What’s your premise? Is it a stand alone? Are you planning a sequel? Prequel? Anything is possible. Just because you’ve killed off a main character doesn’t mean you can’t go back in time and write their earlier stories? It’s up to you. You are the master of the universe you create in your books. Brainstorm a short story, novella, and novel for your idea. That’s three potential pieces you could put on the market. Think about your characters. What will interest your readers? What will strengthen your story?
Leave a comment, I’d love to hear what you’re doing to towards achieving your dream.

Worth The Risk
by Linda McLaughlin
Children’s librarian Amanda Lloyd values privacy above all else. Three years ago her wedding ended in disaster when her groom was arrested at the altar and the story of the ‘Embezzler’s Bride’ appeared in the supermarket tabloids. The experience has left her determined to avoid being caught in the public eye again. Until she meets a sexy single dad with a scandalous past…
Ex-racer Mitch Delaney is a public figure whose life has been plastered across the tabloids more than once. But he believes that anything worth doing is worth a risk. After the death of his ex-wife, he moved to Southern California to take care of his son Josh. He doesn’t need the complication of a woman in his life, especially since Josh’s grandparents have filed suit for custody. But Josh is on the hunt for a new mother and he has his heart set on Miss Amanda, and Mitch can’t fault his son’s taste.
Against her better judgment, Amanda finds herself falling for both of the Delaney men. When she agrees to accompany Mitch to a high-profile movie premiere, they draw the attention of the tabloids. Overnight Amanda’s private affair becomes very public indeed, threatening her job and Mitch’s custody suit. She’s waited twenty-eight years for the right man. But will happiness come at too high a price?
(Golden Heart Finalist, previously published as Private Affair, Kensington Precious Gem #121)
Eggcerpt:
The town was lovely, with tall palm trees and a sandy crescent of beach ringing the glistening bay. It was a picture perfect day as they strolled along the waterfront to one of her favorite seafood restaurants.
After a delicious lunch of fresh swordfish they walked the town, stopping at all the tourist spots. They hiked up to the botanical gardens, visited the Casino where haunting echoes of the Big Band era seemed still alive, and went on the Glass Bottom boat.
“Let’s take a walk on the beach,” Mitch suggested as they stepped onto the pier.
They shed their shoes and socks, enjoying the feel of the warm sand on their toes. Amanda breathed deeply of the sea air and sighed in contentment.
“It’s been such a nice day, I hate to go home,” Mitch observed.
“You just don’t want to get back in the plane,” she teased.
“On the contrary, I can’t wait to take off over that drop-off gorge. I hope it doesn’t leave Josh fatherless.”
“You don’t have any confidence in me.”
“I haven’t booked passage on the boat, have I? You can’t get rid of me that easily.”
He gave her a look that told her the man loved a touch of danger. Her plan had backfired. Instead of discouraging him, he seemed even more interested. That should bother her, but somehow it didn’t.
“I’ve really enjoyed this.” He gestured at the town. “It’s like another world.”
She nodded in agreement. “That’s the reason I enjoy flying over here. It’s so easy to forget about the stress of daily life.”
He slipped his arm around her shoulders. “What kind of pressure are you going back to at the library?”
The pressure is right here. She was constantly fighting her attraction to this man. “Nothing really,” she remarked casually. “We’re getting ready for Halloween and I’ve got to get a costume together. I’m supposed to be Sleeping Beauty.”
“Oh? That has possibilities.” He leaned closer so his lips brushed her temple. His throaty voice whispered in her ear, “You’ll need a prince to kiss you awake, you know. I’ll be happy to volunteer for the job.”
Amanda’s breath quickened as she stared into his darkened eyes. He wouldn’t. Not here, on a public beach, in front of everyone.
He would.
She felt her knees weaken as his mouth descended. Her mind told her to pull away but her body had no desire to back out of his embrace. His kiss was as light and tender as an ocean breeze, but her reaction was anything but cool. Her pulse pounded and her heart jumped erratically.
It’s just a kiss, she told herself. But even as they pulled apart she felt a burning desire, an aching need, to feel his arms around her.
