BBcomplete

Hello! I have exciting news! My editor sent back Episode 9. Hooray! I still have to go through all the notes and fix things, but Episode 9 is very close to being done.

Which means the compilation of all nine episodes is almost done.

Which means Charisse and Conor have almost reached their happily ever after!

I’d like to give you lovely blog readers the opportunity to read the final episode before anyone else in exchange for a review somewhere on the internet, like a blog, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Goodreads.

  2. Sometime over the weekend, you will receive a Dropbox link for the requested file type.  Click on the link and download your copy. (It’s too big to send through email.)
  3. Read!
  4. When I get the book uploaded for sale, I’ll send you a link to Amazon and Barnes and Noble letting you know it’s up for sale and reviews are welcome. You can review it anywhere you like. You don’t have to review on Amazon or B&N. For example you may prefer to review it on your blog, Goodreads or other vendors. Please be honest!
  5. I’d appreciate receiving a link to your review.

The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 8: The Party Scene C

Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend. Charisse fainted when we last left her, and Raul already had a doctor there.What is going on with Raul?

“Charisse!” Conor ran to her. He turned and shouted towards the stairs, “Get the doctor up here now.”

Charisse was already coming around when he bent to the floor. “What’s going on?” she asked. Continue reading →

Mother’s Day Marble Nails

I hope everyone had a great day celebrating with your mothers or being the mother celebrated! I enjoyed the family gathering at Il Vicino which is a lovely pizza place here and in Colorado I believe. I’m still stuffed and we ate at noon!

I did my nails up fancy and wanted to show them off to you. I’m still not getting the perfectly symetrical effect that I see on the web, but I like the results. I tend towards the chaotic anyway.

Be sure to come back tomorrow and find out more about Charisse collapsing right before the party!

More Nail Photo Editing

I’ve been working hard on Nails for a Billionaire. The view was great at Michael Thomas Coffee Roaster today. I of course had my drink:

mocha cappuccino

And then the Albuqueruque Fire departmanet showed up. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Next time I really need to ask to take their picture.

When I quit being distracted by the hot men, I got back to work and changed up another pic for my book:

And for all you moms out there:

Happy Mother’s Day!

Coffee Coffee Coffee

For lunch today I had coffee. Okay, I put other stuff in it, but it was really the buzz from the coffee that I needed. I sent a pic to my editor and she wanted the recipe, so I thought I would share it with all of you too!

Luscious PB Chocolate and Coffee Frappe

In a blender place an espresso shot or 1/3 cup coffee, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup and 1 cup ice. Blend until smooth. Pour half into a glass, drizzle in more chocolate syup and top off with the rest of the frappe. Enjoy!

But I’ve been in a bit of a writing funk recently and thought a change of venue would do me good. So I hopped over to Michael Thomas Coffee Roaster late in the afternoon and had a mochacinno. MMMMM. Richer than just a mocha:

Why am I feeling my writing is becoming an excuse for my coffee drinking?

I hope today’s passage leaves you anxiously waiting for Monday, or running to Amazon to buy it 🙂

The two headed downstairs. He wanted to check on Charisse, but if she’d fallen asleep he didn’t want to wake her.

When they arrived at the bottom of the stairs, he saw his double doors open with security guards dressed in black suits standing at either side. He glanced towards the living area and saw the doctor he kept on call in The Hamptons sitting on one of his white leather couches. Continue reading →

New Cover and more Photo Editing

Today I updated the compilation of The Beautician and the Billionaire Episodes 1-4–both the cover and the story:

BBE1-4

The new version is available at All Romance and Smashwords. I’m waiting for it to push through to the rest of the vendors.

I also worked on another billionaire. I didn’t like the plain white background on this billionaire and tried an ocean background:

Let me know what you think because I’m unsure!

The Party is finally here. What’s in store for Charisse and Conor?

Conor buttoned up his white shirt, leaving the collar open. Charisse loved him. He couldn’t stop thinking about the moment on the porch when she’d told him, even as Raul went over the party checklist with him.

“Is this a Picasso party?” asked Raul. Continue reading →

My Brain is Burning

How many of you are over committed right now? It seems like a May tradition for me since my school days. When I saw this coffee pic, I thought I should dedicate it to all my readers running on coffee right now. I’m really trying not to make myself a cup. I should go to bed at a decent hour and get up to work. But my schedule has slipped to more night centric again.

I’m not sure these nails are going to make the final cut for Nails for a Billionaire, but they remind me of coffee–little coffee bean jewels 🙂

Good luck getting everything done if you’re in crazy juggling mode! I wish you well.

When the final orgasm ebbed, peace overtook her. She could sleep the afternoon away.

“I love you, my beauty,” Conor whispered. He kissed her cheek down to her neck before he rolled off her and stood up. “But we should have some lunch, and I need to head over to the mansion.” Continue reading →
