I Bit My Nails

Bella over at The TBR Pile Loved Cry Baby Cry, giving it a five start review. The book will also be in the TBR’s book of the month contest at the end of October. So go on over to TBR PIle to check it out.

“Well, I was not expected that. [sic] The cover and title didn’t really grab me. The blurb totally interested me and then I started reading. That’s where things get crazy intense and so good. This story is about a reporter, Jo who is trying to help Lily. She’s a young girl whose childhood has been nothing but heartbreak and hurt. What follows is a mystery of a murdered girl and a newborn who is born into a twisted world. I found the whole idea fascination. The author managed to weave a story so that I had a hard time putting it down. I had to find out what happened! Each character has such a unique voice, even the secondarys. I snorted, I cried, I bit my nails. Oh my God, this book is a total, 100% must read. Don’t let the cheesy cover and title fool you. Cry Baby Cry is a gem and it MUST be on your to be read list!”

The Magic Within

I’ve decided I’m far enough along in my latest manuscript that I’m going to start posting excerpts from it on my Birthing the Next Book blog. I’m really excited about this new project and enjoy writing it more than I have anything else in a long while.

While it’s not exactly a part of the Street Stories Suspense novel series, it is inspired by those books. I have simply added a bit of magic. A quote I have posted on the site I’ve created for the new book, The Magic Within, adequately voices what I feel in my heart is true in real life. This new book is my attempt to express that belief.

The universe is full of magical things,
patiently waiting for our wits to grow stronger
