Help me choose a title!
Here are the details now i need a title!! I will dedicate my book to you if I choose ur suggestion. The current favorite is The Twin Moon, because Ian is the twin of Ivy the main character in the first book.
Ian was always a ladies man, with raging hormones to sate. But lately he’s sick of the game. He wants to find his mate.
Andy is fed up and terrified of her abusive ex. Will she ever have a normal life again without him stalking her?
When Ian meets Andy the fireworks are immediate… For Ian. Andy is leary, what could this good looking surfer boy possibly want with her. She knows she’s not exactly skinny as her ex used to love to point out, but she sure as hell isn’t getting abused and lied to again!
Can this match be made in heaven or will they go through first to get there?
Sin-sational Saturday!
Did u ever just want to do something u knew u shouldn’t?? Things the bible or ur parents told u was wrong or a sin? Sometimes we are all tempted to take those steps into the forbidden world. I myself have been there a time or two. But who is anyone to tell u what is forbidden or taboo? Are they really correct or has that just become the accepted way things are. A mild example is tattoos and piercings. I have 5 tattoos. Some very large and some small.
That’s Joe Lucero working on my tat of my family tree. He’s a damn genius with ink. Check out his website
I have a tattoo on my right leg of a Phoenix fairy rising from the flames and ash. My bro drew it and subsequently my daughter drew the tree. The Phoenix represents me growing and rising above my former self. The tree is my immediate family. The bat on my neck represents me and reminds me of who I am. The triad represenst my relationship with my hubby, loyalty respect and trust. The tramp stamp tribal art was when I was young and thin and ready to conquer the world. Although they have all come at different times in my life they all have significant meaning and are memories. My body is a blank canvas that I can’t wait to fill. U say yuck I say ink is art. I have three smallish gaged piercings in my ears. Two in the right and one in the left. Why are they gaged? Because I like them, not because they are the current cool trend. They look like hoop earrings.
But who am I to judge u if u pierce your nose or clit or lip? It’s ur body decorate it however u like despite public opinion. If my daughter shaved her hair off she’d still be the beautiful person I know now. Just because people don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s a sin or taboo. The world has become a really strange place in the modern era. Some for the good, some for the bad. Such as, no one wants a 13 year old getting pregnant, but it happens just the same. After that path has happened all we can do is support and help her. If a teenage boy says he’s gay in this day and age he’s being bullied and turned on?? WTF? Why? We as a people need to support each other with love and kindness. I am so sick of people who preach Christianity then turn around and preach hate. God is not hate people! He is love!! Always has been and his son Jesus was love incarnated. He died so u can treat each other like shit and be forgiven for it?? That’s crap. I would rather think he died so I could live me life in joy and peace. What about you?

In the blink of an eye…
Buffy, thanks so much for having me today. I’m looking forward to meeting some of your readers.
I cannot possibly be the only person amazed at how quickly time passes. Every July I tell my sister-in-law the same thing: “Christmas will be here before we know it.” And every July she says, “How can you even think about that now?”
The answer is quite easy. The summer months are filled with time spent outdoors at the beach or cramming in every activity we can think of during nice long, sunny days. Then Labor Day hits and we enjoy the late summer weather and move right into fall and apple picking and planning for Thanksgiving. Then the wild frenzy of Christmas preparations hits. We decorate. We plan meals. We bake cookies. We send Christmas cards. We shop. We wrap. We check our lists obsessively to be sure we haven’t forgotten a thing. We celebrate. And it’s over.
Then, it’s New Years and the thick of winter. If you’re life is like mine, your job ramps up into hyper-speed and January zooms by without so much as a second thought and the next thing you know you’re wondering what you should get your husband for Valentine’s Day.
February is a short month, even in a leap year so you wouldn’t even notice it, if not for Valentine’s Day. Then it’s March and spring is on the horizon. Warmer weather. Of course, in New England it hasn’t been a bad winter. So, the season doesn’t seem to be dragging at all. With the temps above average, you don’t much mind the short days.
Next it’s April when the days are noticeably longer and warmer. Daffodils and tulips begin emerging. And then we’re anticipating Memorial Day, the kick-off for summer, strawberries and blueberry picking. And then in June we’re back to lying on the beach and thinking about 4th of July cookouts.
Do you see how fast time flies?
My advice, even though you haven’t asked for it, is to stop and smell the tulips and the strawberries and the apples and the Christmas trees and the roses. Don’t let even one minute be wasted. Life is just too damn fast!
By the way, what are you getting your Valentine this year?
After trying her hand at many, many things- from crafting and art classes to cooking and sewing classes to running her own handbag business, Jordan finally figured out how to channel her creativity. With an active imagination and a little encouragement from her husband she sat down and began to write, each night clicking away at the keys with her black Labrador, Dino curled up under the desk.
A few short years later she’s entered the publishing arena with no plans to ever turn back.
Jordan’s a member of Rhode Island Romance Writers, as well as RWA National, and the New England (NEC), Connecticut, and Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal (FFnP) Chapters.
Her first book, Perpetual Light, releases in February of 2012 from Crescent Moon Press.

And now a blurb from Jordan’s book coming this Winter!
Perpetual Light Back Cover Blurb
Fate is cruel. Especially when the one you’ve sworn to love for all eternity, the very soul who changed your destiny is the last person you should trust.
After more than three hundred years of running, Lucia Dicomano must make a choice.
Forced to take her place as a Pharo of Redemption, the divine slayer needs to master her forgotten powers. Lucia turns to Vittorio, the one vampire she’s failed to deliver from eternal damnation. But overcoming smoldering remnants of love, lust and anger aren’t their only obstacles.
Samuel, who may know Lucia better than she knows herself, hunts her with a fervor stoked by a thousand years of vengeful hatred. His plan—capture and enslave the weakened Pharo then take control of her elusive power.
Can Lucia trust Vittorio long enough to reclaim her powers? Or will she have no choice but to kill him and battle Samuel alone?
Growing and moving on
Today I lost a friend. By trying to be introspective I have actually given myself a headache. Technically I didn’t necessarily do anything wrong. But from her POV I did.
I am feeling okay about this split and think that maybe it is for the best. Maybe we are both at the point that it is time to change, to grow and move on. Maybe we have out grown our friendship and need for one another.
I will miss my friend and am happy that she took the time to tell me what she felt went wrong. Unfortunately I am not able to go past that mark right now.
I am currently in my room with my wax burner on so there is soft light and I am going to put on some jazz and rest. Yesterday and today have been very difficult days for me and I need to center before I return to work from my long vacation.
The Teenage Mind
As Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance said “Teenagers scare the living shit out of me.”
Seriously, I am dealing with raging hormones, the princess attitude, a stressed out dance recital and an inconsiderate bf who swears he’s done nothing wrong. God help me. Apparently 16 is the magical age when everything is screwed up. I remember being 16…it sucked ass. I had a football player bf, neurotic parents and raging hormones. I was a mess. Now I watch my poor baby deal with stuff like that and try to remember what was like for me. I try to give advice, but not give too much. I think it is time for my baby to figure things out on her own. She has decided what kind of crap she will or will not put up with and how to deal with it. When she crashes, I sit and listen and hug and comfort. What else can I do? The precarious balance on her emotions must be held on to if she tips too far all hell breaks loose between she and I. Here’s to all the moms with teenage daughters and those with teenage boys, because honestly don’t they all have the same raging hormones and fragile emotions?

Teeth!! Yikes!!
Oh my goodness!! Today’s topic is teeth. My hubby was eating a famous Amos chocolate chip cookie yesterday and broke a tooth. He was in an enormous amount of pain, but luckily we found some putty stuff to stick in there that numbed the area. He really hasn’t eating anything since yesterday. He did have some applesauce. The poor guy I feel so bad for him. This is the second time this has happened to him. The first was a few years back and was and eye tooth on a French fry. We went to the Dentist and had X-rays. He actually broke two teeth, molars on the upper back left and the one in the very back on the bottom has a cavity. So here is the run down of work needed. A root canal on the tooth he broke down to the nerve, a filling and crown on the second top tooth as well as a crown on the back tooth. Then he needs the cavity fixed on the lower tooth. So the grand total I don’t even want to talk about, let alone discuss. Let’s just say Yikes! I just hope we can get it all taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. Pain sucks. Being a person in daily pain I know this for a fact. He says he’s dealing but I wish there was more I could do. It’s hard seeing those you love in pain.
Happiest New Year
Happy New Year, my lovelies. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. What will you make of this year?
My plans are to build my writing career, build my husbands business in California and Arizona, pirate-av.com, work on some new business plans, write and finish my AA in early childhood development management and administration.
I am so excited this year. I am spending it with family and good friends, those that I care about. I am focusing on happiness. That, my dears, is the theme for the year. Happy and fulfilling my hearts desires. I want to be healthy too, but unfortunately that is just not in the cards for me so I will endeavor to just seek happiness in all things. Relaxing scents and sights to surround me, lotions and body mists to make me feel pampered, music I can write to and zen with.
Today my circle is full. I have many plans including the release of Animal Instincts, The New Moon and The Taming Moon, by the end of February. Unfortunately I just had to much going on in December to achieve the publishing of these books. Then it’s back to writing and school. The Midnight series will be completed this year. And I would like to start the next Chiricahua book, Feral Desire. If I can get those done I will be on to The Hunting Moon, Ivy and Ian’s oldest brother Dillon’s story.
Surprises abound and await this year, steady growth and hopefully a bigger readership. Thank you all for helping me end 2011 with a bang. Now a romantic Sunday story prompt. A few photos for all of us.
Sunday Recipes
It occurred to me today while making one of my family and friends favorite desserts that I should share the yumminess with my Internet friends. This had for the last 17 years been a family favorite and always made at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. We call it Mom’s Chocolate Stuff but low and behold my critique partner an BFF Wendy Ely also makes it. She hates to bake and this takes a minimal amount of baking. It is official called Striped Delight and also a favorite of my other critique partner, Carolyn Hughey. I made it today for her, but I made a big one as I know the hubby and kids will tear into it later. Here’s the recipe:
Striped Delight
2 8 oz pkgs of softened Cream Cheese
1 large tub of Cool Whip
1 large pkg of Chocolate Pudding,
1 pkg of Pecan Sandies
1/2 stick of butter
1/2 cup of Sugar
2 1/2 cups of milk
10×13 baking pan
Preheat the oven to 375F. Put the pecan sandies in a gallon ziplock bag and crush to medium crumbs. Melt the 1/2 stick of butter for 30 secs in the microwave. Pour the sandies and butter together in the baking pan. Mix well till moist. Okay time to get dirty, use your hands and press the sandies into a firm
layer in the bottom of the pan. This is your crust. Bake in the 375 F preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Take out of oven and allow it to cool. In a large bowl whip both pkgs of softened cream cheese until smooth (do not put in the microwave to soften. Let it set out while you make the crust). Add sugar and beat until smooth. Taste it. There should be no granules left. If there are continue to beat until they are gone and mixture is smooth. Mix in Cool Whip until smooth again. When crust is cool spread mixture over crust. Be careful as the crust is still crumbly. Make chocolate pudding to pie directions. This is usually 2 1/2 cups of Milk to 1 large pkg of ready to serve pudding. Pour over cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate for 2 hours or more until set. You can even make this the day before and let it set over night in the fridge but I recommend covering it.
Now you can do many things to make this low fat. Use fat free cream cheese, Splenda instead of Sugar, fat free Milk and sugar free or fat free cool whip and sugar free pudding. Also I only use a 1/2 cup of sugar because I like a more cream cheese taste, but you can put up to 1 cup of sugar in it. Also you could use different flavors of pudding to change the flavor. The cream cheese mixture also makes a good no bake cheese cake spread over a graham cracker crust. You can top it with fruit of blueberries, my brother’s favorite, or mix a 1/2 cup of pumpkin and a tbsp of pumpkin spice to make a no bake pumpkin cheese cake. If you are going to make a pie size 8″ or 9″ round use the small container of cool whip and 1 pkg of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of sugar. Experiment! It’s fun and always brings a new flavor to the holidays.
