Josh's poem

In her world love is temporary.

Forever isn’t even in the vocabulary.

In my world she is love.

She is forever.

All is possible when we’re together.

Stars are hung just for us.

Shining bright when things get rough.

Guiding her back to me. Back home.

Back into the arms where she belongs.

The music lies underneath

the many moments when we can’t breathe.

She’s the melody.

I’m the harmony.

Our rhythm becomes everything.

I have to find her in the dark.

Nothing works when we’re apart.

Show her beauty.

Regain her trust.

Immerse her in all of my love.

Prove her wrong.

This is real.

Let the music help us heal.

Bonding, yet barely breathing

in another moment all too fleeting.

No mistakes. No regrets.

No more lies and no more threats.

No more miles in between.

A final moment for us to sing.

Hand in hand, hearts entwined.

The past let go and left behind.

In breaths and heartbeats, our life is measured.

Not failures or miles, but in moments we shared.

She erased the doubt. I embraced the moment.

Shifting apart then shifting together.

Can we finally emerge into forever?

I want to fly

I seriously hate when I doubt myself. It's not something I can just shut off. It's a life trait that I carry, wired into my DNA or something. Thinking I'm not good enough to chase what I want. That it will hurt when I'm let down so I just settle because then it won't hurt as bad. That I should just be content instead of going after the, "MORE," that I want so badly. It's like writing songs...creating music. My true passion is that, yet I've never attempted to let it go somewhere more than my notebook. I share it now in my books and I give it to my characters, giving them what I wish I had the courage to achieve myself. Truth is, I wish more than ever that I could escape the doubt like Riley Shaw. I wish that I had embraced every moment like Joshua Parker and I hope to do that. I wish that I could emerge into forever with all my dreams coming true. In the end, it's not something I can write into a novel and have it happen like magic. I'm going to have to work for it. I'm going to need to believe in myself, see my dream, see my passion—GOAL set and grab the hell out of it. I'm not bold and I play it safe instead of taking chances. I'm wired this way, wired to not dive off of the cliff because the bottom will hurt like hell. I guess now I'm thinking what if I don't hit the bottom, though? What if I fly? One step into something that might not let me down, but could in fact, set me free. Free to be myself. Free to believe in something bigger than I ever had before. Goal set. I want it. One step closer to the edge...

Paperbacks

 


Hey, Readers. I'm so excited to be posting this. My books are now available in print on Amazon. You can also order a signed paperback from me right here on this site. All payments will be sent securely through PayPal. Books will be ordered on demand after payment has been received. Allow time for shipping as I do not have stock inventory just yet. --> See that button over there? :) 

Update

If you've been following my posts on Facebook, then you know that I have been battling some things personally involving my 4 year old daughter.  This hasn't been the best of times. I just want to say thank you first and foremost for all of the prayers and kind words. They mean a lot to me, more than I can say. Y'all are all so sweet and supportive. However, I do need to say that my writing has taken a back seat while I wear my mommy hat. My fictional world is still screaming at me, but my real life is demanding my attention at the moment. Having said that, I can't guarantee my July release date right now. I know everyone will understand. I'm not setting a date as of yet. I'm allowing time for my head to refocus on my characters, then betas, editing and a final proofread. Thankfully, covers are done! Yay! I will not release anything that is less than my best work and the story that it's meant to be. In order to give you the finale I promised, I need a little more time with my fictional friends. Thank you for your patience and support. Love you all!

Illegal Giveaways

Something was brought to my attention and I just want to make a public note on this since I trusted my ARCs to this person as well.

To the reader: 
If you are ever asked for your kindle address to receive my book(s) by someone NOT handling my tours (for review purposes only), I can guarantee you that they do not have my permission to give you my book in that manner. Please, notify me if this happens. Any winner of a giveaway I participate in will receive an email from me personally. If a blog chooses to gift my book through Amazon, that is fine. If a blog, however, asks to send you a copy direct to your kindle via your kindle address, that is stealing.

She hid behind her dark poetry but he knew her secrets.

They were best friends and so much more. Loving was easy. It was life that complicated things.
