Romance Costumes
Halloween Costumes are of course a part of my novel Masked Hearts, but I don’t want to give that part away so I won’t be posting an excerpt 🙂
Halloween is my lover’s favorite holiday, so yes, I took advantage of him this year. I tend to the prettier costumes, but this year he suggested I go as medusa, and it was hard to argue with the awesome headpiece he made:
Casting a creepy shadow, Medusa hunts for her pray.
Remember to look away from your lover unless you want to turn him to stone.
Because it’s made from wrapping ribbon it’s really light.
 Be sure to have a blacklight at your party.
If you want to stay up all night to make this yourself, go to http://aranamuerta.com/2014/05/26/medusa/.

Halloween Spider Web and Chocolate Winners!
In my new release, Masked Hearts, Mark creates a gothic display around his expansive home. Part of the decoration is a giant spider web that brings about a turning point in the relationship.
Her tires crunched the rocks into the dirt as she drove up the mountain road. A light flashed on the hill above her, and she caught a glimpse of a ghost blowing on one of his balconies. As she came around the final curve, she slowed her car and gawked until she pulled into the driveway.
Shutters with missing slats hung loose on nails where she didn’t remember there being any shutters to begin with. Enormous stuffed crows perched on the roof and the chimney. A few looked like they were flying down, and she couldn’t see any wires holding them up. The two balconies lit up alternately, showing a ghost and a skeleton. Gargoyles guarded each balcony. An enormous spiderweb hung between the patio and the middle balcony, lit by a black light. In the center of the web was a stuffed spider hanging down. Amongst the tangles of the web were cocoons with arms and legs sticking out as if the spider had caught some stray trick-or-treaters.
The spider web in the story was inspired by the one my lover puts up every year. This year I helped too, since I wanted to feature it on the blog 🙂
Read Masked Hearts to find out how the spider web changed everything.

Release Date Reveal!
Coming to a Kindle near you Saturday October 11! Enjoy a taste:
Sienna drove into the parking spot and stopped just before her tire hit the sidewalk. Her mind was a tornado of parents, students and other teachers vying for her attention at the end of the week. Even the cute pumpkin lights decorating the awning of the Holiday Cafe with their faint glow battling the dusk failed to calm her. She stepped out of her car and closed the door. The blur in her mind finally paused when her gaze fell on a witch and bubbling cauldron drawn on the door with window paints. The caption read, “Taste our Toil and Trouble Latte.” Ahhh. Despite the name, the thought of the latte yanked her out of the school whirlwind and settled her spirit. She’d been waiting all week for this moment.
She opened the door, expecting the aroma of coffee to wrap her in bliss, but instead desire fired through her.
Mark Townsend stood at the counter—the most sought after single dad at the school. When class lists came out at the beginning of the year, the other kindergarten teachers had swarmed her and rattled off his stats as soon as they saw she had his youngest child Tyler: millionaire, architect, thirty-eight, divorced, great butt. She hadn’t thought much of the other teachers’ excitement. Just twenty-eight herself, she’d always dated men much closer to her own age, and never anyone corporate. But when he’d strolled into her classroom the first day of school with his pride in his son and casual confidence, she’d known she was in trouble.
