A random hookup too hot to handle? Never say never.

In a torturous game of cat-n-mouse with her step-uncle, it’s Margo’s move.

On the run, she does a body slide right into the arms of a recently discharged Marine. Outside of this crazy fling, there’s zero room in her life for men. Distractions are dangerous to her goal.

From fixing miles of fencing and tending cattle, Rod McLemore is thrust back into the line of duty. And he promptly fails. He crosses the line in a no-brainer mission: go and get the girl. On no hands is he prepared for Margo or her smart-mouth, right hook, and cargo to hide.

Together Margo and Rod are as volatile as flint and gunpowder. Bordering on taboo, their raw attraction is a recipe for disaster. Especially when the stakes are raised.

Their stormy love affair forces them over the edge and out of their comfort zones as they wrangle in-laws, Mother Nature, and a slick conman. A regular trial by fire. But a battle worth fighting means taking a stand. Even if it means they have to lie, steal, cheat.
Or kill.

Happy Halloween! How about a little cowboy romance and an Amazon Tablet giveaway?

 
 
It's a wickedly delicious time of year. Some days still hotter than snap near Nashville... I'm referring to the weather, of course.
And the nights...
Well outside they're cooling down into the range of needing a sweater or maybe a fire started.
A little of this, versus a little of that. It's how the seasons change.
It's life.
A series of juxtapositions.
Cool versus warm.
Soft versus hard.
Pleasure versus pain.
 
And what can be better than fire and ice?
That's what we have in
Collared By the Cowboy.
A man who refuses to feel. His heart is ice.
A woman on a journey, fueled to find her footing spurred by her beliefs, her passion. Her fire.
So who are these characters, besides opposites?

Have you heard 'Hello' from Adele?

Powerful.
Storyline: 'regret' well-done. Imagery: retro.
Adele's familiar voice, say what you will, is flawless.
Judge for yourself.
 
 
 


 
 
PATTERN BEHAVIOR you wonder in the similarity of sound.
Ah well, that is another matter.
What can I speak to is the naming of her albums. The last was "19" and why? It was for her age at the time she has created them.
THIS IS ALBUM “25.”
Adele defines 25 as turning point for her.
 
 
Teetering on the edge of being an old adolescent and a fully-fledged adult, I made the decision to go into becoming who I'm going to be forever without a removal van full of my old junk.”
She also apologized that for the four-year wait between albums, adding, “I’m sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”

In between 19 and 25, there was her album 21. Besides music, Adele became a MOMMY. Her son Angelo is now three and his dad is Simon Konecki, Adele's boyfriend.

In a letter to fans, Adele wrote that 25 reflects her life and the changes that have occurred. And now, she's ready to share her music with us.

Enjoy.

Do you NaNoWriMo? Time to get in gear and prime those gray cells. How? Write. Write. Write.



THIS WEEK I'M DOING IT DIFFERENTLY.
NO... not that.
 
I'm doing a Pre-NaNoWriMo hip-hip tweet-tweet.
The story that I had earmarked for November to write my ass off well, I couldn't wait and began.
Love
You
Harder.


And it's working out.
This story keeps me writing on a daily basis. (Important for gearing up for NaNoWriMo.)

Why? Come November it will be a hit the ground and run kinda deal.
The better prepared a writer is, the easier it is to craft not only words into sentences but a meaningful plot, layered characters, and a story that makes sense.
For me that equates to writing a series.
BIG PLUS to have the backstory already firmly established.
I know these people. Their history. What they carry in their wallets, their picadillos, what type of milk they drink.
And you should too.
If you don't write series, so what.
GET TO KNOW YOUR CHARACTERS.
SCOPE OUT THE CITY OR SETTING.
ENVISION being the main people in your story so well what they'd say and how they'd feel is second nature.
And then writing is like water rushing, reeling, carrying you forward.

LOVE YOU HARDER is the story about Rod's brother CADE McLEMORE from Game On/Too Hot To Handle (Books # .5 and #1) from Zero to 60
AFTER THE FALL is my slotted for NaNoWriMo as Book #3 (the 11th in the Bad Boys series).

Currently Love You Harder is my WIP (Work in Progress.)
And what I'm sharing to incite some autumn embers into a fire.
 

If you NaNo, you can do this too!  
FIRST I do my dream cast for Cade and Vivian. May I share it?
It's why I WENT from ZERO TO 60 and jumped the GUN!
