Insert Exciting Post Title Here
I'm sorry I don't have news you guys would want to hear.
Those of you newer to my sites may not know I've been dealing with a chronic injury for months. For those that do know about my arm, I'm sad to say it still isn't well enough to be back to work.
My shoulder makes it hard to find a comfortable position to sleep, my hand and wrist hurt to use my mouse or keyboard, and it's hard just to hold a full mug of tea or a pen. Of course all this is in my dominant arm, so I'm pretty much useless.
So, I don't know when the sequel to My Once and Future Love is coming. I have all kinds of thoughts for revising what's done so far that I can't put on a page, so believe me, I'm frustrated.
Anyway, I hadn't done an update in a while, so I wanted to get your guys up to speed. In the meantime, I hope you can enjoy reading The Unsuspecting Bride (which was written before my injury).
Thanks,

What I Don't Like
What do I not like? Seeing search hits like this:
Any book of mine downloaded from Mediafire or anywhere like it is stolen, my friends. Stolen.
Not okay. Period.
It's called e-book piracy, and I know I can't stop all of it or prevent it, but please.....getting a book free from a download site is NOT like visiting a library and borrowing a book for free. You're stealing money out of the author's pocket every. single. time.
So don't do it. Tell your friends not to do it.
The vast majority of authors are not like Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, or Stephanie Meyer. We're not rich at all. Most of us don't even make a living wage off our writing alone, so when you steal books, it hurts us. Enough people do it, it hurts a lot.
Do your part to fight against media piracy.

January 2012
When did that happen? Doesn't feel like a year has passed since I went public as a writer. My first stories debuted January 2011.
What's in store for 2012? Finishing and polishing the sequel to My Once and Future Love, of course. Continued posts of The Unsuspecting Bride. More from The Sanctuary War universe. I have lots of plans for that.
I'm grateful for all of you that keep visiting. The support on Facebook and in reviews really means a lot. I hope you'll enjoy what's to come.

December...
How's everybody's holiday prep going?
Around my own shopping and decorating, I'm going to try to get another shorter story out by the end of the year. My shoulder's easing with rest, though I could still use a good massage on that side.

NaNoWriMo Ends Today
50,138. The book isn't done, yet, at all, but NaNo is - which I'm grateful for! It's been a sucky November real life-wise and I'm glad to see the door closed on it.
When will I finish the book? Not sure. For now, my back and shoulder need treatment again, so I'll be resting and staying off the computer. And then, there's Christmas.
Thanks for the support on Facebook this month. It really helped. I love you guys.

Book Rec: New Historical Western Romance e-book by Lily Graison
The Lawman
Willow Creek, Book 1
On the run from her ex-lover, jilted by a no-show husband and now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back saloon, Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be.
Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton – all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite.
A night in the town jail would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?
Price $2.99

Happy Thanksgiving
To all my US readers, have a happy holiday tomorrow. I hope you have plenty of yummy eats no matter what you're having, and good company whether you visit family, friends, or escape to the movies.
Still working on NaNoWriMo word count. I'm a bit behind, but that can't be helped on a holiday week. Hopefully, the weekend will be productive.

By the way - Piracy is Wrong
ETA: MediaFire situation is resolved. Other links still to tackle.
I discovered a PDF version of A Reluctant Vampire on Media Fire this weekend.
Yeah, I know the story is free, but I do not authorize sharing my e-books on download sites.
Period.
It's in the copyright language on the first page of every book. And really? The story is FREE. Free to download in mulitple versions on Smashwords.com, plus B&N, Apple, and Amazon. It's ridiculous.
So, thanks to some disrespectful pirate, I now have to fight with Media Fire to get the book removed because so far, they've only sent me cut-and-paste responses to my requests, asking me to jump through hoops I've done twice so far.
Readers, if you see any of my books shared on any download site, please report it. While I support lending friends and relatives paperbacks and such, I absolutely cannot support the illegal sharing of my copyrighted work that denies me the fair compensation I work for. Writing is my job.

Tuesday Teaser - Birthday Girl
Choose to be the new girl in town at your own peril. I get now why Mom never lived farther than twenty minutes from the house she was born in all her life. I looked around my empty living room, the balloons in the corners mocking my solitude. The food on the kitchen table sat untouched, a chocolate cake still pristine in the center.
This was what happened when a girl sponsored her own birthday party.
Someone knocked on the front door. I checked my watch and greeted Marcy, my best friend. She shoved a present into my hands.
“Hi, Hattie, sorry I can’t stay, but I wanted to give you this so you wouldn’t think I forgot.” She smiled, ran back down the driveway to her Honda, waved, and zipped away. She’d been fifteen minutes late. We might be rethinking that friend title.
I placed the small gift on the table and put the food back in the refrigerator. Didn’t want to poison anyone, should they ever show up. I hadn’t invited a lot of people—there weren’t many I knew well enough yet to let into my home—but I’d put out a decent spread. There was even alcohol, and I didn’t drink.
After another half-hour, I gave up and turned the lights out in the living room, then cut a piece of cake for myself and stuck one candle in it.
“Happy friggin’ birthday to me.”

Thursday Thirteen - 13 sentences from my WIP file
Euphoria flowed through my body, and I collapsed on his chest. “See you next summer?” I said, breathing heavily. I started to get up and Mike grabbed my hips.
“Oh, no, you’re not getting away with that, Rae.” He rolled us so he was on top and thrust into my body.
My inner muscles spasmed, still affected by my climax. I glanced at the clock while he got his rocks off, noting I had an hour to get to the airport. The second orgasm surprised me.
He grinned. “Knew you had another in you.”
“Five today not enough for you? I’m going to miss my flight.”
Mike always did this on the day I left, dragging our time out to the last second.
