Funny story, I didn't mean to have this posted yet. I had the draft to Influenced sitting on my KDP dashboard, and I had to reupload the file. I was tired. Thinking was difficult, so when I got done with the changes, I clicked "Submit for Pre-order" instead of "Save Draft". I didn't even realize it at the time. Nope, what clued me in was the email from Amazon congratulating me on my pre-order.

Three tales, three choices: Light. Dark. Or the shades of gray between.

Which one will win?

Influenced is a sweet romance fantasy short story collection about the angels and devils who sit on our shoulders and whisper in our ears.

So, yup, there's no taking it back. This is what I get for doing stuff while dealing with a bout of fatigue.

​I'm stealing these questions from fellow author, K.T. Daxon because they are fun. She was given the questions by Aila Stephens to answer when she finished her book, Broken Tomorrows. Plus, it's a good way to cultivate interest in upcoming books.

1. What was your favorite line of dialogue? "Seriously?" That's Quinn's favorite reaction to outrageous things and it often got her and Keane bickering which was fun to write.
2. What was your favorite scene setting? When Quinn and her friends are in the private room at the strip club. It was fun writing their reactions to such a posh room. 
3. What was your favorite cliffhanger? When Quinn sees what Keane is. It gave me an evil laugh. >8D
4. Who is your favorite secondary character? I love Quinn's BFF, Abby. She's carefree, sweet, and, a great friend. She always knows when to push Quinn and when to listen.
5. ​What was your favorite change? There really isn't one that was big enough to think it made the story so much better. There were lots of little changes, but nothing big like with Leaves of Fall. 

I hope you enjoyed my 5 favorites from Tempting Friendship. Feel free to steal this idea from here. Just make sure to give props to K.T. and Aila for coming up with them.

​At first, Quinn isn't impressed by Keane. He's cocky and has sex on the brain. The polar opposite of her. Despite their differences, friendship blossoms between the two. 

Never one to take things seriously, Keane is an incubus coasting through life without a care. When he meets Quinn, her lack of reaction to him piques his interest. No human has ever been able to resist him. 

As Keane and Quinn struggle to understand what is going on between them, something sinister rocks their world. Young incubi are vanishing, and Keane's friends go missing. Someone is after his kind. When Quinn is kidnapped, Keane must uncover who is behind the abductions and reach her before it's too late.

I'm going to be publishing a book in May! May 11th to be exact, which is Eat What You Want Day. This means I am in need of blogs to host me and my new book, A Quick Bite for dinner. Or lunch. Maybe breakfast, but I rarely get up early enough to eat it.

Would you care to join me? Fill out the form below with your details and I will get all the information to you by May 11th.

You know what’s crazy? I’m not a poet. I don’t even care to read it much, but I will for a friend. And yet, in book two of Path of Angels, Zadekiel, I gave Zephyr a gift that makes her write poetry. Funny thing to do to a favorite character. I feel like I should have been kinder.

I guess, what I wanted was something that was short and snappy, that held a lot in a few words. It also had to mesh well with Zephyr’s character. Poetry fit the bill perfectly. A great poem can tell a whole story if done well. Could the style used also tell a lot about the writer? Here’s one of Zephyr’s poems and judge for yourself.

They left behind their home
In you they seek the truth
With dark eyes the path lies
Truth revealed when he speaks
Listen please
Thy breath to keep
Less you sleep eternal sleep

Author Note: This may be a mistake, but I'm letting Keane have my blog for the day. Hopefully, he doesn't cause too much trouble. *eyes Keane who grins innocently*

Keane: Hello my adoring fans. *winks* I decided to take time out of my busy schedule and clue you in on the must have video games everyone should play. And don’t try to tell me you’re not into games. These are worth it. Trust me, I’ve been around long enough to know good quality when I see it.

1. We have to start with a classic: Pong. It doesn’t get much simpler than that but did this change everything. I don’t want to think of where gaming would be if not for this game.
2. Sonic The Hedgehog. I know there are going to be Nintendo fanboys/girls yelling at me but hear me out. Sonic is just a blast. It’s fast paced, the music is great, and the graphics still hold up. I’m right and you know it.
3. The Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of Time. Can I really call myself a gamer if I didn’t love this game? It was amazing. The story. The characters. The music. I still play this game. (I do have to admit, Breath of the Wild has become a second close.)
4. Street Fighter. Chun Lee. Nuff said.
5. Tomb Raider games, but not the reboot. The reboot was fun to play, but Lara is so booooring now. Before she was snarky and confident. I love a confident woman. I hope future releases in the reboot have Lara gaining the confidence the old Lara had.
