Hope and Cabin Fever
These are terrible times. We are seeing humanity at its dumbest (stay home, people!) and its cruelest (hoarding without regard for others). Our leaders are failing us and increasing the risk to our lives by putting corporate greed over the health and safety of their constituents.
Yet, some businesses are taking it upon themselves to make sure their workers have sick leave pay. Stores are saving special times for their most vulnerable populations to shop. Our doctors and nurses and researchers are working around the clock to keep up with the carnage. Without the proper equipment, they do this at risk to themselves. Our restaurant, grocery store and pharmacy employees, never before recognized for how critical they are, are still going to work, every day, so we can find a way to carry on.
This gives me hope.
Like you, I’m home, quietly doing all I can by staying home. This is no sacrifice; it is my responsibility. It is THE responsibility of the rest of us. The only other thing I can do, I do happily–Free books.
Just click on the picture for the opportunity to collect a bunch of stories offered for free. If you’re like me, the distraction will be welcome.

All Creatures Can Celebrate Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day is a day created for lovers. You might think it would be a romance writer’s favorite holiday. Candy, flowers, and wine sales are booming.
But humans aren’t the only creatures that can celebrate. What about the paranormal community? What are they supposed to do? Vampires never drink—Well, at least not wine. And candy is iffy. Toffee and jellied fruits, or gummies and other confections could create tooth and other dental problems in several species.
I bet paranormal creatures have their own traditions when it comes to Valentine’s Day. I imagine it would look like this:
Vampires—Blood in a heart shaped bag might make a nice gift.
Shifters could enjoy a picnic (steak sandwiches?) and a moonlight run.
Dragons—Ah, gold jewelry would do the trick.
Witches may appreciate a beautiful journal for spell books.
Incubi—These feast on lust and other emotions, so perhaps a weekend at a honeymoon hotel would be exquisite.
In my story Indigo Dreams, you get a peek at how one wraith spent his Valentine’s Day. Sign up for my VIP Reader email list here and get your free copy!
An Update, a Question, and Free Books!
I’m excited to be back into a project that has taken a back seat through much of last year. I have one novel, the sequel to House of the Rising Son, a book that has been neglected while I prepared the novella for Fire and Ice, and two short stories that were published in anthologies.
Thankfully, now I am able to concentrate on the project I call Slippery. I’m anxious to see what Cheyenne and Zander get into next. Ok, I’ll admit I plot my stories so I already know what they are going to get into, but that isn’t the same as being into the rhythm of writing their stories. I’ve missed them through the other projects but now I can give them the focus they deserve.
I’m also adding words to another story, so far titled Wolves, which I started awhile ago. It’s another urban fantasy in the same world as Chey and Zander’s story but with different characters.
I have so many responsibilities that take me away from my writing. I’m settling into a routine so I know I will have more to report as time goes by.
What takes you away from projects you really want to do, and how do you get back on track?
While you wait for Slippery and Wolves, here are a couple of promotions offering free short stories and novels, including my latest short story, Indigo Dreams. Take a look and enjoy!
