Hello
everyone! I’m thrilled to be hanging out with Lexi today, always a pleasure!
I have four separate releases this year and it’s been a long time coming. 2016 sucked, ‘nuff said. Life has its ups and downs for everyone and I’m no exception. The silver lining (and I am always a silver lining kind of girl) is that my writing has become deeper. Pain is growth, if you learn from it, and I’ve learned a lot this past year.

For
as long as I can remember I have wanted to fly. I spent hours as a child in
imaginary worlds where I either had the ability to fly or I was riding a winged
horse or a dragon. I’m a lucid dreamer and I can tell you that flying dreams
are the bomb! I’ve soared down rivers, over mountains and even through the
rings of Saturn. Yep, Saturn. FTL ships got nothing on me and my lucid dreaming
speeds.
First
on deck is my new UF series Tethered Wings. I loved creating this world and
truly it has kept me sane (ok, sane may be a stretch, but work with me here). I
credit my friend Juliette Cross for sparking this series as it was conceived
when I was reading her Night Wing books.
It
wasn’t difficult for me to imagine a race of human like people that had wings.
They live together with humans for the first time in a country called Vega.
Twice Tethered is book one of the series. As I was working on book two, Vega
Falling, something odd happened. Odd and seriously cool. I can’t tell you
though, because it’s a major spoiler. Book two comes out August 1st
so you won’t have to wait long.
After
that I have two new Sci-Fi Romance titles, and then I’ll launching a brand new
SFR series in 2018! Just a little busy these days!
One
last thing. Me and some crazy author friends are reaching out to you, the
readers. Seriously, we want to know what you’re looking for. What do you want
to read? What do you want more of? The page is still a work in progress but,
you can check it out here: Tell Us What You Want.
Here’s an intro and some excerpts to Twice Tethered.
Twice
Tethered, book one in the Tethered Wings series.
2016
Beacon FCRW Finalist!
She had no words. He
was playing her like an instrument. Orchestrating a symphony unlike any she'd
ever experienced.
In
a country called Vega, winged sensari and humans live and work together for the
first time.
Priya
Desai wanted nothing more than to launch her career at Genetic Realms
engineering, but one night with
CEO Morgan Steele changed everything, including her humanity.
Morgan is
duty bound to help Priya through the transformation—an intensely physical
process which brings both pain and pleasure.
As his
enemies fight to destroy his company, and political tensions rise, the two must
find the truth: Did someone engineer the transformation in her, or did he
really tether twice?
Pre-Order
now for only .99!
Excerpts
***
The
turmoil within screamed to be set free as Tara closed his office door behind
her. Damon gripped the mantel with both hands and stared into the fireplace.
Get her back.
Stay
calm.
Her.
The
rumble within was the strongest he’d ever experienced. He closed his eyes and
centered himself. Control. He focused on his breathing, emptying his mind,
centering his core.
He
opened his eyes five minutes later and returned to his desk. He’d never come so
close to losing it. He toyed with his platinum pen. A gift from his brother
when he was elected president of Vega nearly six years ago. Six years his
safeguards had functioned perfectly. Protecting Vega’s financial systems
completely undetected. Until now. The beautiful blonde, Tara Newton, had done
what should have been impossible. That had to be what had caused his near loss
of control. Had to be what created a connection that should never exist.
Was
her synesthesia responsible for being able to detect his code? He ran a hand
over his face, trying to clear the fog that was Tara. He’d lost it on multiple
levels with her. If she hadn’t stopped him, he’d have taken her then and there.
In his office, door open. It was unacceptable. He stood and went to the wet bar
in the corner. Eyeing the bottle of bourbon he reached instead for the coffee
pods. Too early for the hard stuff, but there was a stiff drink in his future.
Damon’s
gaze settled on the couch. Maggie could have walked in on them. The
unprecedented lapse of judgement was matched only by his growing desire for Ms.
Tara Newton.
He
leaned against the counter of the bar and sipped his coffee. She wasn’t his
type. Her disregard for social norms spoke of a freedom he’d never experienced.
Her over-sexed fashion sense overshadowed her extreme intelligence. It appealed
to the part of him yearning to explore her body and soul. And he did want that.
A
shift in his perception signaled a deep approval. He let out a low whistle.
Things just got serious.

“What do you think
you're doing?” Morgan Steele inserted himself between her and Seth.
That explained the
pleasure coursing through her.
Morgan wore jeans and a
half-unbuttoned shirt. A short gold chain rested around his neck. His fingers
brushed hers igniting a full-on body buzz.
“Piss off, Steele,”
Seth said, straightening his collar.
Morgan scanned her from
head to toe, upping the buzz quota. There was no missing the sparks in his
eyes. “Are you all right?”
She nodded and stepped
close enough for the heat of his body to radiate up her arm.
He placed a possessive
hand on the small of her back, his thumb stroking. The bolt of electricity from
his touch was almost painful. Almost.
“Beat it, Seth.”
“It's a free world,
Steele.”
“It's my club. And
since when do Mandoris believe in freedom?”
Ugly red blotches
spread across Seth's face. He sneered at Priya before whirling around and
launching off the platform.
A low growl rumbled
through Morgan. Felt more than heard. When he turned his attention back to her,
she couldn’t move.
His expression shifted
from anger to hunger as he scanned her from top to bottom and back again. “Tanzar
Farornath.”
She started to ask what
that meant, but when the heat of his hands slid onto her hips all she could do
is breathe him in. Mountains and rain. She wanted to lose herself in that
smell.
He was gliding his
thumbs in tiny circles and it did things to her insides. His breath was hot on
her skin.
“What are you doing
here?” Her voice shook with more than adrenaline from the encounter with Seth.
“Part owner.”
She knew that. She
couldn't take her eyes off his mouth. If she leaned forward just a hair…
He beat her to it,
tilting his head at the last moment and brushing his lips across her ear. “The
image I keep seeing in my head…” He leaned back and gazed into her eyes.
Her heart slammed into
her chest as the scene burned brightly in her mind. She swore she felt him
pulsing inside.
He nodded. “I thought
so. Is that what you want, Priya?” His voice was low and gravelly, he made her
name sound exotic.
Pleasure rippled
through her in waves. Her hands were flat on his chest and the beat of his
heart matched her own. Her brain battled with a response. Hell yes that’s what
her body wanted, but what could she say? She didn't want to lose her job. “I
don't think we should…”
His lips brushed
against her neck just below her ear and a cacophony of sensation inundated her
senses.
“We definitely should
not.” He bit down on her shoulder.
The pleasure became an
intrinsic part of her. Hot. Pulsing. “Oh, fuck, Morgan.”
“Precisely.”
Surrendering, she
wrapped her arms around his neck. He devoured her. Demanding. Hungry. So very
hungry.

that).

Seriously disappointed we’ve yet to establish so much as a moon base, she’s encouraged by the recent developments by superstars such as Elon Musk, Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, among others.
She’s a travel addict, beach-loving, stargazing disruptor.
