I'm writing!!!

It's been a while since I've written anything (well, except for FB and Twitter posts. lol) August and September are the busiest times of the year for someone like me. Someone who works in a school district. Outside of my writing life, I'm an IT tech. Often do I look like this: Haha.  I work on computers, laptops, projectors, ipads, etc, etc (the list goes on forever) I do work during the summer, so Im not quite as lucky as the teachers. (But I also don't have the responsibility of taking care of a ton of kids every day) Anyway, when all the teachers come back, all at once I go from having ZERO workorders, to have a million and two. approximately. Really, I am responsible for all the tech equipment for 5 schools. FIVE! Thats a lot of equipment. So, during the last two months, I've been stressing like no tomorrow. And when I get home, and manager to somehow find some time to write, I have no motvation to. My creativity has been dulled and damag

Teaser 8- Allllll man

Teaser 8       He placed his hand on his chest in mock horror, then reached back and patted his shoulder. “Shhh, Daisy. She didn’t meant it.”       I laughed. I couldn’t help it. “Daisy?” I questioned. “You’re so weird.”        I walked away and jumped back in bed trying desperately to forget how amazing his back felt under my hands but knowing full well that I would never forget it.       “Don’t be jealous because I have pretty designs on me and you don’t.”        I scowled at him as he jumped into his own bed. “Jealous? Of a silly boy?” I taunted.        “I’ll have you know I’m all man.” And then he winked at me before wagging his eyebrows.         I rolled my eyes and hid my laugh well. “If you feel the urge to say that out loud, it probably means you aren’t.”       “Well I could show you.” He sat up and sauntered over to my bed. Excitement thundered through me. My heart sped up, stuttering over itself. My hopes began to soar. “But maybe another time. I don’t want to

Teaser 7 -the best, all the time

Teaser 7       At one point, he was coming up to my right, so I put all my weight on my right foot, readying myself for impact, but at the last second he switched sides before I could react, and he pushed me from the left. With all my weight on my right side, I went down hard, landing on my right hip.        “Are you okay?” he asked, pretending to care, even though his mocking smile was laughing at me.       “You did that on purpose, you jerk,” I accused. And to my complete shock, he started laughing. Like a for real, deep belly laugh.       “Yeah I did. I wanted to see how fast you could react. You were doing great, so I thought I would switch it up.”       I rolled my eyes at him and pulled myself up. He came and offered his hand, but I ignored it.        “For the record, you aren’t supposed to laugh at a girl when she falls down.” But his smile grew as I teased him.        “Well, maybe you shouldn’t be so…you.” Then he laughed at himself.        “That doesn’t even m

What are you reading??

I have like 1,050,135,516,305,161 books, on my TBR shelf. No, not really. But pretty close. AND, even with ALL those books, that I DO want to read, that all look interesting and probably would provide me with a gazillion hours of reading,  I still don't know what to read. SOOOO What are you reading? OR what have you read recently that was super awesome, that makes you scream for joy? OR What did you read last that was SOOO good, it would make you wanna just snatch it away from whoever else has it. OR it made you cry!  Because, you know what, the last book that made me cry was TFIOS and thats been a long time now, and so- yeah. I think it's time to read a book so emotionally charged it makes me cry!!! And finally, I'll leave you with this gif of Jensen dancing as payment for you helping me out- Because you know you're smiling right now!  So,   what should I read?

Teaser 6- this moment was everything

Teaser 6        And then he placed his lips in the tiny spot of my neck that his breath was tickling. The sensations exploded behind my eyelids as my eyes rolled back into my head.        Heaven on earth. Paradise. I couldn’t help the whimper that escaped my lips.        I kissed him, no longer able to hold back. No longer wanting to.       He kissed me with all the passion I could have hoped for. I breathed him into me, wanting to remember these sensations forever. He pulled me closer to him, our bodies intertwined. His hand was on my back, holding me firmly against him. His other hand held my face softly, as if I was something he treasured.        This moment…this moment was everything.  Publication date is only a couple weeks away. September 1, 2015.

Teaser 4- Surrounded

Image
Teaser 4              We all waited for Lynn to signal us forward before we moved on, Alec always just behind us, bringing up the rear.       I turned back to look at him just as he tackled a guard to the ground. He placed his hand flat against his forehead and whispered something into the guard’s ear. I doubt he killed him, but I didn’t think he'd be waking up for a long while.        “I didn’t even hear him come after you,” I whispered as we went to the next building.       He winked at me, “But I did.” Always so sure of himself. I rolled my eyes just as I saw the shadow of a man come at us from behind.         I turned just in time to duck down and narrowly avoid a blow to the head.       I looked up to find Alec on top, punching him. But that guard wasn’t alone. Glancing at Lynn I watched as she fought two guards at once. My eyes traveled around our group.       We were surrounded. Publication date is only a couple weeks away.

Teaser 3- Lily, not Alice

Image
Teaser 3       I grabbed hold of his hand and looked up at him, waiting for him to explain more to me. Like how the hell that tiny device would take us from Kansas to Texas. But once I touched his hand, I saw it. The Tripudio was spinning, and the tiny hole in the middle had grown much larger. So large that perhaps a person could fit through it.           Then I got scared. Did he expect me to jump into a hole in the ground?       “What now? I’m not jumping down the rabbit hole. You can call me Lily, not Alice,” I told him.        He laughed, like an actual laugh. And it was so strange, because I never made people laugh. I felt like a lifetime has gone by without me making anyone else laugh, and yet this stranger thought I was funny. I couldn’t help but be thankful again for him and his methods of keeping my mind off my parents.       “Don’t worry, it’s not Wonderland we're going to.” Then, without any warning, he pulled me toward him in an almost-embrace, and together we
