Launch Day Extravaganza! Part Two

Jazz is back! And she’s as sexy, snarky and smartly-dressed as before. I knew this book had to be written because some things had to be settled between jazz and Nick before I moved on to the other witches. And this story was perfect. Lack of sleep, nightmares and Fluff and Puff in trouble with the Weres. If only that Wereweasel’s shirt button hadn’t been coughed up! Plus Nick is having doubts about his and Jazz’s future. And more than the fact he can’t drink her blood during sex since it’s poisonous to vampires. Jazz hates that her past intrudes on her present, but when you’ve been around for over 700 years it’s natural for it to happen one or twenty times. Jazz is always undaunted. Does she have a plan? Nope. Like me, she tends to wing it. But along the way she’ll suffer through the worst 48 hours of her long life, deal with Dweezil’s problems again, Nick’s ex and find out what happened to the Wereweasel Fluff and Puff have been accused of eating before they’re destroyed. Plus, what e...

Hex Appeal Excerpt

Hex Appeal will be out in 10 days! Fluff and Puff in trouble big time where they're even in danger of being destroyed for eating a carnie. Namely a Were carnie. Will they go to Bunny Slipper prison? Will they be brought before the Witches Council, or even worse, the Ruling Council? Can Jazz find out the truth in time? Stay tuned. Namely, buy the book. :} Jazz was relieved it was still early enough that it seemed no one was stirring on the boardwalk. With the slipper bunnies non grata in the carnival area, she had to make sure not to be seen by the boardwalk manager, who made ogres look like sweet pussycats. “What the hell do you think you’re doing bringing them here?” Jazz froze. “Five steps,” she muttered, staring at the parking lot that was so near yet so far. “Just five lousy steps.” She turned around. “Well, aren’t we up early!” She used her perkiest witch voice. “How are you, Rex?” Rex (no one ever learned his last name) was a horror filmmaker’s dream—if he wanted someone who ...

Nightmares

Hex Appeal has to do with Jazz unable to get a good night’s sleep. Except her problem isn’t insomnia. More like magickal nightmares that makes the monster in the closet seem like a fluffy teddy bear. After all, would you want to go back to sleep if you dream the vampire you love is tearing out your throat? Or you dream of a world that’s dark and dangerous where your life was threatened every step you took? What about you? Have you had insomnia where even counting a million sheep wouldn’t work? Warm milk doesn’t do a thing. Lavender only makes you sneeze and that glass of wine meant to relax only woke you up more. Or the kind of nightmare where you want to turn on all the lights, check inside all the closets and sit up with a baseball bat at hand? Have you woken up to see a figure standing at the foot of your bed? Or see a shadow at your window that shouldn’t be there? Or what about noises loud enough to wake you up and have you fearing the worst? What do you do? Do you face that dream ...

The Countdown Begins

I realized this past week that Hex Appeal will be out in four months. Seems like quite a time, doesn’t it? But that comes down to about 16 weeks, 123 days. Wow! When I finished 50 Ways to Hex Your Lover I had planned on moving on to one of the other witches. Except Jazz let me know I wasn’t finished with her yet. That there was more to say. And who am I to argue with a 700+-year-old witch? So I took the story forward a few months and more problems popped up for her. You’d think after all her years in the mortal realm she’d know better, wouldn’t you? But Jazz being Jazz, it just doesn’t work that way. So now Jazz has nightmares. Nick’s sleep isn’t all that pleasant either. Irma’s making new demands just because she wants to. And Fluff and Puff? Well, they’re accused of the unthinkable. There Wereweasel that operates the Ferris wheel is missing and one of the bunny slippers coughed up one of his shirt buttons. They’re in magick bunny slipper jail and if they’re found guilty of this heino...
