Tell us a little about yourself
I am a wife, a mother to an adorable mini
schnauzer, a programmer, and now an author. I love reading romance because no
matter what may be happening in my life, I can always count on my books to end
happily ever after. The day I met my husband was the day I truly began
believing in happily ever after. After hearing me complain a few too many times
that I had “nothing” to read despite the hundreds of paperbacks scattered
around the house, my husband began suggesting I write my own stories. When I
finally took his advice I discovered that although I enjoy my day job as a
software engineer, my true calling is to be an author.
My sister drilled into me an appreciation for
fantasy and mythology, something I try to bring to my books. My debut novel, Breaking the Nexus started as a book
written for NaNoWriMo and has grown to so much more. It was the conduit that
introduced me to a fantastic group of independent authors who have changed my
life in unimaginable ways.
When I’m not writing, I’ve found a passion for
blogging and interviewing fellow authors. I also love reading (of course!),
baking, crochet, sewing sock monkeys, playing video games, and all sorts of
random crafts. I have an incurable love of rubber duckies and stuffed animals,
and I believe nobody should have to grow up if they don’t want.

Today's Tuesday Tingle comes from 'Breaking the Nexus'
Throughout history, myths and legends of extraordinary
creatures have been told and retold. Fantastic tales of demons and banshees,
gryphons and dragons, and of course, magic. Stories that every child grows to
learn are nothing more than fantasy…or are they?
Beyond the world you see lies a hidden realm, the Mythrian
Realm, inhabited by all of the creatures you’ve been told are mere fiction.
Only one thing lies between humans and the truth: the Nexus. A magical barrier
erected millennia ago to separate the two realms, it has stood the test of
time. Until now.
For Mythrian Sha Phoenix, magic is nothing new. But when she
stumbles upon a portal on the verge of collapse, her fate will forever change.
Pulled through the portal into the Human Realm, she lands in the middle of
Detective Connor Flynn’s brutal murder scene. Soon it is obvious someone is using
blood magic to try to bring down the Nexus. Together, Connor and Sha must work
to unravel the secrets before the barrier falls and the realms collide.
The Nexus is breaking and all hell is about to unleash…literally.
Excerpt
Connor stared, transfixed by the sight of Sha stretching her
arms behind her, arching her back to loosen the kinks of sitting in the
uncomfortable chair for hours. His mouth went dry. At the hospital, she’d been
given a set of scrubs so the crime scene techs could process her clothes. The
shapeless, utilitarian garb shouldn’t have been sexy, but his body tightened to
the point of pain. Well, this was awkward. And they were supposed to spend the
rest of the evening and night alone. In a hotel suite. This was going to be a
long night.
Ian coughed, the sound strange. Connor glanced over, eyes
narrowing with disgust. The bastard was laughing at him, enjoying his
predicament. “I’ll go get the diversion ready,” Ian said, shoulders still
shaking with barely suppressed laughter.
When they were alone Connor turned back to Sha, wrestling
for control over his libido. She opened her mouth as if to speak, her tongue
darting out to moisten her lips, the simple movement sending another spear of
heat straight to his groin. The fact that she seemed to be oblivious to her
allure somehow made him want her more. He wondered how she would taste.
Damn, what the hell was he thinking? Bad enough she was a
witness in an active crime, but they were in the middle of the freaking
station. The captain would have his head, if not his badge, if he acted on the
images emblazoned on his brain.
