Check out Taken by the Hero.... available now!

Available now on Amazon!

A beautiful woman saying ‘Take me, I’m yours.’ Wasn’t that every man’s secret fantasy? For Hunter it wasn’t much of a secret. He liked his women ready, willing, and eager. Panting for it.

Only this wasn’t any woman.

This was Mercy Martin, the puppy who’d trailed after him so many years earlier. His best friend’s little sister.

He slammed the trunk of his beat up Ford Mustang closed, swinging his government issued duffel bag up over one shoulder. “You want me to beat your ass, Mercy?”

“Only if it’s part of foreplay.” Mercy’s tone was light, flirtatious, her smile bright and inviting, but there was something off about her body language. Her shoulders were stiff, and her eyes were downcast. Her chin jutted out, defiant, like she was fighting him instead of trying to seduce him.

First time using Kindle KDP

Okay, I just used Kindle KDP for the first time. That was... deceptively easy?

So far I'm like "OMG, I can totes do this" and then I'm like "I promise never to talk like that again" and "Did I mess up somewhere?"

Here are my impressions so far:

1. That was totally easy. Everybody should publish a book.

2. I'm not sure about pricing. I wrote a relatively short piece. It's the first one in a series. So, the plan is to have Taken by the Hero (Taken to the Edge, Book 1) be $1.99 the subsequent Taken to the Edge books be 2.99 and the entire set be 4.99. Of course, I always take questions and comments below... if you have a better suggestion.

3. I took a peek at the cover creator, but I liked making my own better (approx. 45 min using Microsoft Word, check out the results below!).

Does anyone else have any thoughts about Kindle publishing???

"What do you want?" Hunter demanded.

"I want sex. I also want a man who isn't afraid to be seen with me. It could be you. It could be someone else. I could go down to the Blackjack tonight and find a dozen men happy to fulfill my needs.”

“I’d like to see you try it,” his voice was a low ominous growl.

“Is that a challenge?”

“It’s a promise, Mercy. You go throwing yourself around like that, and there’s going to be a whole lot of trouble in Houghton. The streets will be piled high with dead men."

Thank Goodness it's Wednesday: Zombie Romance Teaser!

Here is your teaser! How do people feel about zombie romances? First person new adult zombie romances set in Detroit?

The dead man holstered his gun. “Did he bite you?”

“I’m clean.”

“Good.” He grinned, sending a flicker of electricity down my spine.

Hoo-boy. I really was in trouble if I was fantasizing about a Biter. I needed a boyfriend—fast—although I’d settle for a date who didn’t flinch every time I mentioned my job.

The dead guy reached down and grasped my wrist, hauling me effortlessly to my feet. His hand was cool to the touch. His fingers rough, callused. He must have done something physical when he was alive. “You going to thank me for saving you?”

“Thanks,” I said.

Then I pulled out my stun gun and sent 150,000 volts into his dead ass.

The 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge!

Hey everybody!

Welcome to the 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge! For those of you who failed math, that's a book a week for an entire year. Yep, it's absolutely impossible. Completely freaking insane.

Other people have done it. Hell, other people have done more. Check out this woman who wrote a hundred books in a year... and made total bank doing it.

Not that I'm in this for the money.

I'm a traditionally published author (no, I won't tell you my other name) who is starting up Stella Rose as a new pen name for erotica. More specifically, sexy, smexy, red hot erotica that will occasionally dip into the realms of BDSM, Fantasy, and Science Fiction (not all at the same time, I promise... unless that's what you're interested in! Leave a comment below!). I want the control, I want the speed, and--let's face it--some extra income wouldn't hurt.

Okay, I'm kind of in it for the money. I want a house. A cheerful house in a good neighborhood with a pretty kitchen. So, every dollar I make for the next year is going into my 'buy a house' fund.

Buy a book, help me buy a house!

Here's the challenge...
