"You gonna jumpstart me? I assure you, I don’t need a jumpstart" Excerpt from CREATUS ROGUE ~ New Release!

Creatus Rogue
Book Two in the Creatus Series

It's difficult choosing an excerpt when you don't want to give spoilers, so please forgive my use of pronouns. Over the next few weeks, I'll try to find some fun excerpts. I hope you enjoy them. :)
If you haven't read Book One in the Creatus Series, you can find more information, check out some of the reviews, and read a free sample on Amazon. Or, you can read two deleted scenes and the first chapter without leaving my website here.


Warning, Spoiler Alert Ahead!!!
~ Excerpt ~



She popped the trunk. She had to have something inside to restrain him. She pulled out a pair of heavy-duty jumper cables and strolled around to his side again.
“You gonna jumpstart me? I assure you, I don’t need a jumpstart.”
She resisted laughing. For someone who thought they were going to be killed, he sure made an awful lot of jokes.
Carefully, watchful of his dangerous, powerful legs, she pressed her palms on his thighs and held him steady while she tied his feet with the thick cords.
“You really are a dominatrix, aren’t you? I’m not usually into that stuff, but okay.”
“Shut up.”
He faked a quiver. “Ooh…say it again.”
If you've read Creatus Book One, I'm sure you know these two characters. I hope you enjoyed the excerpt I chose and will look forward to their story. In the meanwhile, please get me those cover ideas. Y'all did an awesome job last time, so let's do it again!


Look for Creatus Rogue this Valentine's Day!
If you cheated and haven't actually read the prequel or book one, I hope you'll want to. You can find them via the links below:




The Creatus Series is not your normal paranormal story...it's a realistic twist of the myths you've heard your entire life. Prepare to believe...

      Thank you, Kim! I'm looking forward to finishing it too! I have so many books in the pipeline, but this book has been a challenge. I soooo like to rush into things and resolve all the issues, but I'm trying really hard not to get to the end too soon and remember that this is a series. I think you are going to love the twist... All I can say for now is that you won't see it coming. Surprised the heck out of me even. Hehehe... ;)

To prologue or not to prologue, that is the question. Readers, please weigh in!

By
Personally, I love prologues. They get you right into the action whether it was in the past or something exciting that is to come. But that’s exactly why most agents’ blogs I’ve read say not to use them. Paraphrasing…“If you need a prologue, then your story must not be strong enough…” Hmm … well, I like them, and I use them. But I’m curious what readers think, and I’d love you to weigh in. AND, if you have some great examples, please leave the title in the comment section. Now … here’s what I’ve noticed. Plenty of bestselling books have used them, even though they aren’t always called prologues . Same diff in my opinion. My biggest example is ‘Twilight’. If that little blurb wasn’t in the beginning, I don’t think I would have made it through the first chapter. How about movies? I don’t watch a lot. But I’ve started to notice how many have “prologues”. I also don’t have cable, but I have NetFlix, and hubby has just started watching ‘Breaking Bad’. Okay … I...

The rule of thirds: No matter what you do, someone will hate you. Get over it and Write On!

By
No matter what you do in life, a third of the people will love you, a third will hate you, and the rest will be indifferent. Get over it and Write On! Yes, I'm talking to myself. If you're listening, GREAT! It's good advice! Is it easy advice? Heck No! For some reason, even though that percentage is rather low on my books--the percentage of people who hate my books runs about 4.6%--it still hurts.  Note: I only averaged the 'firsts' in my books, the books I actively promote. Because if I go to the second, third, and fourth books in my series, those numbers drop drastically. Obviously, if readers don't like my first book, they don't go on to the rest of my books in a series, so those books receive little to zero one-star reviews. So...if the number of one-star reviews we receive is less than five percent--Thank God ALL of the 33 1/3% of the haters don't write reviews--why do we get so depressed when we receive a one-star review...
