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?
