Favorite Author #1

Patricia Briggs is an urban romance/paranormal romance author. She currently has 6 series; The Mercy Thompson Series, Alpha and Omega Series, Raven Duology Series, Hurog Duology Series, The Hob, and Siamin Series. I am partial to The Mercy Thompson series.
Mercy Thompson Series- Mercedes is Volkswagen mechanic living in the Tri-Cities area of Washington. Her Native American heritage has gifted her with the ability to take the form of a coyote at will. She's surrounded by far more powerful supernatural beings, including werewolves, vampires and an assortment of fey.

Patricia Briggs has a new book in The Mercy Thompson Series coming out on March 11th 2014. It is book 8 in the series called Night Broken.

Night Broken 
An unexpected phone call heralds a new challenge for Mercy. Her mate Adam’s ex-wife is in trouble, on the run from a stalker. Adam isn’t the kind of man to turn away a person in need—and Mercy knows it. But with Christy holed up in Adam’s house, Mercy can’t shake the feeling that something about the situation isn’t right.
Soon, her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that Christy has the farthest thing from good intentions. She wants Adam back and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen, including turning Adam’s pack against Mercy.

Mercy isn’t about to step down without a fight, but there’s a more dangerous threat circling. Christy’s stalker is more than a bad man—in fact, he may not be human at all. As the bodies start piling up, Mercy must put her personal troubles aside to face a creature with the power to tear her whole world apart.


My Opinion: In the series Mercy, an skinwalker of sorts, deals was raised in a pack of wolves. The pack was ran by the leader of the werewolves and she was an outcast because she wasn't a wolf. On her own she moves but only to have to deal with another pack that arrives after she does. Working for a fae and eventually purchasing the mechanics shop she has adventures with the wolves, fae, ghosts, and vampires. Everyone says she attracts danger and misfortune. Read and fins out if that's really true of if it just seems that way.

Find her books on Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

The Holiday Upon Us

Tonight is Christmas eve. All is quiet on this home-front. Kids are off at their grandparents' for the week. Yes, I have a mouse stirring in the house though. Santa needs to fly it away when he leaves tonight. Track Santa by way of NORAD with Santa Tracker.

Many know that I am Pagan but for those who are my Christian followers Merry Christmas and may this night bless you with love, joy, happiness and family.

Now is the time to look back over the year and see the accomplishments and/or there lack of. I have progressed in my writing and bonding with my kids more. I wish I could have worked on my diet better but that is for the year to come. Remember, failing only makes us better and gives us strength to move forward in life. Never feel you failed and gained nothing, there is always something gained in everything we do.

I will be hibernating for a few days, do not feel neglected my friends. I will return with an abundance of thoughts, writings, excerpts and a contest.

Release Day!

Today two of my favorite authors, Skye Jordan and Joan Swan, released 'Rebel (Renegades)'. 

Rebel 
A Renegades Novel #2
by Skye Jordan & Joan Swan

Overview: 

Sassy, smart, and sexy, former supermodel-turned-tech guru Rubi Russo has it all—looks, money, confidence and freedom. Her life is a whirlwind of fast cars and fleeting affairs—and she likes it that way. With a past like Rubi’s, forever isn’t part of her vocabulary. So when studly Renegade stuntman Wes Lawson wants to take their friendship to the next level, she’s all out. 

Raised a simple country-boy, Wes knows the brazen Rubi isn’t his type. But after spending time with her, he discovers she’s everything he’s ever wanted in a woman. To win her wild rebel heart, he’ll have to prove he sees behind her smokescreen to all the goodness she tries to hide. Then it's just a matter of crushing her fears, shattering her barriers, and convincing her that loving him is everything she’s been missing in her life, too.

Piece of cake.
