Sizzling Sunday Excerpts Partners: The Wrong Corpse

Twelve years ago Frankie Barker and Johanna Obrien became partners, then lovers, on the Philadelphia Police Force. After two years, the women were tired of city living. They quit the force and moved to Charlestown, Pennsylvania, where they built a log home and hung out their shingle as private investigators. 

Frankie and Johanna take a case they feel will be a cinch to solve, before embarking on a much--needed vacation. But the case turns out to be much more than they bargained for!

Graham McHenry hires Frankie and Johanna to follow his beautiful, much younger wife Cassandra, whom he believes is having an affair. They find the information their client is seeking, but the next morning they learn the woman has been murdered. The time of death places Cassandra at a motel, at the same time they had been following her to her mansion. Now McHenry wants to know who killed his wife, and Frankie and Johanna are determined to find out who they were following!


Excerpt

Frankie glanced up at the skylight. She smiled. It had been her idea to have it centered directly above the king--sized bed. She sighed contentedly. The day had dawned bright and clear, a perfect summer's day. She hoped that the steady downpour of the previous night had swept away the oppressive heat and humidity which had enveloped the city for the past week. Last night the stormy weather had made for a cozy romantic night spent in bed, making love for hours, with the love of her life.

Sizzling Sunday Excerpts The Other Side

Ally Brent is a popular governor in the 1970's, but because of her husband's emotional blackmail, may lose everything, including the woman she's loved for over twenty-five years.

Excerpt

Clare impatiently tapped her pen against the phone. After a few minutes, she heard Michael's groggy voice on the other end. 

"Do you know what the hell time it is?" 

"Michael, it's Clare." 

"What the hell do you want? If you're looking for a little pleasure then I'm afraid Ally's not here." 

"Dammit, Michael. I saw the newspaper. Where is she?" she demanded. "I haven't heard from her in weeks." 

"She's ill." 

"What do you mean she's ill? Where is she? Give me an address." She couldn't control the alarm in her voice. Her hand trembled. 

"I think it's best that you and Ally cool your passion for awhile." 

"You son-of-a-bitch! I'll find her, Michael. Believe me, I'll find her." She was ready to hang up the phone when Michael's voice came back over the line. 

"I'll tell you where she is on one condition." 

"What's the condition?" 

"You can't let anyone know where she is." 

"Why would I do that? You know I've always protected her." 

"That's not all you've done." 

"Your jealousy is unbecoming, Michael," she countered. 

"A lot of changes are going to be made in the near future." 

"Just tell me where she is." 

"Okay, you can find her at Green Valley Estates. 

"You bastard, what did you do to her?" 

"Whatever happened she did to herself," he answered. 

Clare slammed the phone down.

Sizzling Sunday Excerpts The Silent Cry

A young woman fights to prove her innocence after being falsely charged with murder while trying to win the heart of the woman she loves.

Excerpt

J.C.'s fingers melted into her flesh, bringing back floods of memories of those fingers and hands roaming over every inch of her bare flesh. "We can't, J.C. That's over for us," she weakly replied. 

J.C. brushed her lips over Samantha's soft cheek, and then moved to her full lips. Samantha's body trembled, and a soft moan escaped her lips. "Just one more time." 

Samantha pushed her away. "No, J.C.," she said breathlessly. "We can't." 

"Why? You want it as much as I do, baby," she whispered as she continued to move her hands over Samantha's body. "I want you. Tell me that you want me just as much. I need to feel you next to me again...just this one night. Then it'll be over if that's what you really want. I promise." She lightly ran her fingertips over Samantha's breasts.

Sizzling Sunday Excerpts Zinna

As Zinna ambitiously pursues her artistic dreams in New Orleans, she wonders if it is worth the sacrifice if she has to give up the love of her life.

Excerpt

A warm sensation crept through Zinna's chest, then down to her genitals. She'd had this heated sensation before, and when the feelings became too intense, and she thought she would lose her mind, she would gently move her hand to her vagina and relieve her yearning. She should pull her hand away from Megan's, but she couldn't. A powerful urge much stronger than her usual sensibility overtook her mind. Her emotions were raw and on edge. She needed to know. Why had Megan tormented her with all these questions? What did Megan really want from her? What did she really want from Megan? She was terrified of what lay ahead tonight, but she had to take the risk. She leaned in closer. She felt Megan's sweet breath near her mouth. A tremor went through Megan's hand, or was it her own, or both? It felt like an electric current was surging through her veins. In a moment, she would totally suffocate. 

"What do you want from me?" she weakly whispered. 

Megan's voice was barely audible as she whispered back, "Nothing you haven't all ready figured out." 

Megan's mouth moved closer to her own. A soft moan escaped from her throat.

Sizzling Sunday Excerpts Best Friends

Callie Stone is a troubled teenager trying to come to terms with her feelings toward the same sex. Living in small town USA in the sixties, only adds to her confusion.

Excerpt

Katie grew quiet. Callie needed to know what she was thinking and how she was processing this new revelation about her. After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Callie nervously looked at her. Katie was staring at her with a strange, haunted look in her eyes. Everything moved in slow motion and they were suspended in time. Katie moved closer and closer to her, their eyes locked together. Before she could grasp what was happening, Katie's soft and gentle lips were on hers. A warm awareness ignited her body and she swallowed hard as the blood rushed to her head.

Katie removed her lips and backed away. "Was it like that?" she whispered, her eyes searching Callie's.

Callie couldn't answer. Her voice was trapped in her throat. The kiss was too much to wish for and so unexpected that for a brief moment she thought that maybe she'd imagined it. If Katie only knew how long she'd wanted to be with her--to hold her, to kiss her lips. She looked into Katie's eyes, now seeing the unmasked fear of what she'd just exposed about herself.

Katie ran a shaky hand through her hair. "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have done that." She moved away. "Please don't think. . . maybe I should go home."

Planning

I usually like to plan out my books and stories before writing them, but no matter how much planning I do, it never works out. When I finish a story and look over my original notes, about the only thing that has remained the same are the character names and locations.

Happy Thanksgiving

I'd like to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Covers For New Books!

Check out the covers for my new books Love Unleashed and More Love Unleashed coming soon from eXtasy Books. I'm anxiously awaiting the release dates! :)

Contracts Signed!

I'm excited to announce that my six short stories have been contracted by eXtasy Books.

I'm still working on two new novels. I'd hoped to have one finished by the end of the summer, but it doesn't look like it'll be finished until late autumn.

I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler temperatures. What a relief after the summer heat!

New Short Stories!

I've finished two new short stories and have three near completion. I hope to have them all finished and edited by the end of the month.

Book 3 in my Partner Series "Blinded By The Trees" is half done. If it continues as smoothly as it has been, it should be completed in another month to six weeks. But, of course, that doesn't include the editing. :)
