Let's Raise Money for Austim Speaks

Entangled Publishing and three wonderful authors have put together a collection of short stories to help raise Autism awareness. 100% of the net proceeds will go to Autism research. 


So I'm going to get a little personal here. 

 
This is my nephew, Spencer. He's getting ready to turn five and he was diagnosed with autism at the age of two. I can't even begin to tell you what a special place this little boy holds in my heart. I'm his Gee Gee and I love him dearly. He looks at the world in a way I can't. 
He sees beauty in everything, including a pot of dying Mums.There are time I would love to nestle right into his little mind and see how he sees the world. 

1 in 88 children are diagnosed with autism. The net proceeds raised from this anthology will help many autistic people, including my nephew. Please do your part in helping make the world a better place for these very special children and adults.  

Without further ado, the Love Knows No Bounds anthology. Three fantastic stories written by three very talented authors. The anthology will be release on April 28th.




TWEET, BY BOONE BRUX 

When ultra-shy pushover Faye Albert decides to live a little, she inadvertently binds her soul to Satan by following him on Twitter. And overnight, her dreams of being confident, beautiful, and adored by men are coming true. No longer is she overlooked, pushed out her place in line, or just plain pushed over.

But it comes at a price: if she doesn’t figure out how break the contract, she’ll lose her soul to the Dark Prince forever.
 
With time running out, and no idea how to unfollow Satan, she enlists the help of Christopher White, a gorgeous photographer from work. All the while, Satan’s little helper dogs her every step and offers her things she’s only dreamed of, tempting Faye with a lifetime of earthly treasures. And unconditional love. But will she yes to a love
that knows no bounds?
BITTERSWEET, BY BROOKE MOSS 

Anna Kirkpatrick isn't looking for love. Being a single mom to Bowan, her eight-year-old autistic son, takes up all of her time...leaving no room for romance. Willing to do anything to help her son come out of his shell, Anna agrees to take Bowan to cooking classes with a world class chef.

 Motorcycle-riding pastry chef Leo Mancini isn't exactly searching for "the one", either. After losing every penny he had, his business, and his girlfriend, he's moved to northern Idaho to sulk, restart his career, and pay his sister back for a loan that no amount of money could ever really suffice.

 When Anna and Leo discover that Bowan's fondness for the kitchen extends beyond his peculiar cookbook collection, Leo quickly becomes the one person who can break through his barriers. But will Leo and Anna's attraction lead to more than just a weekly cooking lesson? 





REMEMBER ME, BY NINA CROFT


Unable to bear the thought of losing his mortal wife, Caden Wolfe steals the Elixir of Life and offers her eternity. But the theft is discovered, his wife is slain, and Caden is stripped of his angel’s wings and cast down into the Abyss.
 
Having drunk of the Elixir of Life, Phoebe Little’s soul is tied to the earth in a perpetual cycle of death and rebirth. Unaware that she has lived countless lives, Phoebe is haunted by the loss of a love she
has no memory of.

 Caden has spent a thousand years searching for his wife. Now he has found her, and only Phoebe’s love can redeem them both. But Phoebe fell in love with an angel, and Caden is now a demon of the Abyss. Can she see past what he has become, remember the love they once shared, and have a second chance at forever?


I'd like to thank Entangled Publishing, Boone Brux, Brooke Moss and Nina Croft for putting this together.

DIVNELY RUINED from Diane Alberts COVER REVEAL!
DIVINELY RUINED, from Entangled Publishing and the author who brought you ON ONE CONDITION, is hitting the virtual shelves on Thursday, April 26th, but you can get a sneak peek at the cover and blurb here!
Cover:
Blurb:
She finally meets a decent man--after she's oath-bound never to touch men again!

Rebecca's life sucked before she became an angel. Crappy apartment, awful jobs, abusive boyfriends--it was no wonder she jumped at the chance to escape it all and become a real live angel. The problem is Rebecca's not very angelic, and she'll have to do more to earn her wings than end her love affair with the word f--er, frick.
Especially when she's assigned to save single father Tony Weis, whose less-than-pure thoughts wreak hell on a telepathic angel's nerves. It's all Rebecca can do to keep her hands off him...but when she loses her memory injuring herself to save Tony's daughter, now it's Tony's turn to be her angel and care for her. But will Tony's devotion tempt her from her angelic path, even if it means being human again?

Writing, writing, writing.

So I'm 35k into the second book of my MMA series and I'm starting to hit the midway blues. This is the point where I start doubting everything I've written up to this point. I do it with every book. The only thing I've learned to do is write through it. It may be utter crap when I'm done, but at least I'll have something to work with.

I needed inspiration last night, so I watched the UFC 145 prelims. It was definitely inspiring. Watched a fantastic fight between Matt Brown and Stephen Thompson. These are the fights I love. Two men giving it everything they got until the very end. It wasn't one-sided. One didn't dominate the other. It wasn't fifteen minute of dancing around each other, or them constantly in a clench. It was a fight to win. The aftermath was brutal, but even though the fight went to a decision, both men could still be proud of what they'd accomplished.

Anyway, it's jazzed me up. I'm ready to tackle writing today. I have a hero preparing for a comeback fight with the man that stole his title. I'm looking forward to writing it!
