Purchase Sweet Desire, Wicked Fate on
What Jaden knew for certain:
1. Buried family
secrets can be deadly when uncovered.
The hairs on
Jaden's arms rose as she saw the jug's strange contents slowly unfold. Tiny
limbs stretched, bony fingers moved the ceramic shards off a distorted face,
and citrine-colored eyes sprang open. Jaden's body went rigid. She sucked in a
ragged breath as wiry tendrils lashed out from the malformed thing and plunged
their sharp tips into Jaden's ankle.
2. She
wanted Briz.
The innocent
girl Jaden had been earlier today, trembling from her first kiss, was nowhere
to be found. Now she wasn't feeling the least bit pure or virtuous. Taking hold
of Briz's shoulders, Jaden drew him closer, letting her lips fondle his. This
time he didn't stop her.
3. The
American poet e.e. cummings was right.
It takes courage
to grow up and become who you really are.
I live on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with an artist, five cats and a parrot. Sweet Desire, Wicked Fate was inspired by sculptures my partner in life and business, artist Steven Lee Smeltzer created.

After all, our future lies in their hands.
I apologize that my book list is incomplete. Over the past two years I've read 150+ books, but when I'm not reading, I'm working. Currently I'm writing bk 2 of Sweet Desire, Wicked Fate, and have obviously been a slacker when it comes to posting what I've read. Though as I'm playing catch-up on my list I have decided not to rate them. Just know that if I've posted it, I liked it and would rate it between a 3 & 5. I find it very hard to rate something that I know someone has put their time, heart, and soul into creating.
