“The door opened slowly on Simone, the last of Pollard’s group. She wiped her hands across her wide hips, re-arranging the hem of a shirt she’d probably slept in the night before. Hair, clothes, and oral hygiene were all suffering. The apocalypse did not look good on her.”

Though there were lots of tough days when I questioned if I would ever reach 50,000 words before the Nov. 30 deadline, I pulled through and finished my novel right before Thanksgiving. I am so in love with this story, though, that it really wasn’t a chore to escape into Ben and Maya’s world for a month.
I’ll spend December editing and re-writing. Hopefully, I’ll soon have good news about the publication of Elixir the first book in the Red Plague trilogy.
Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s always an exhilarating feeling to write “the end” on a story I’ve worked really hard on. And then begin a whole new story, full of exciting possibilities.
I’m a third of the way through a new trilogy. I can’t wait until it’s done and I can share it with all of you!

I made this myself (miracle!) to take to the RWA national conference and publicize my published works, and I’m so proud of it I wanted to share it with you.

“Pollard approached with his weapon holstered and his hands out like I was a crazy person and needed to be calmed down. I hated him immediately. And yet he was another answer to another prayer.”

Pollard hadn’t spoken a word to me since attacking me with his mouth. He hardly looked at me. Awkward didn’t even cover it.

“I’ll look out for zombies.” Showing off, Hunny sprang onto the hood of a white Nissan and leap-frogged three cars ahead, scrambling over roofs and sliding down windshields.
“Keep the noise down,” I warned. Reds were attracted by sound.
