Excerpt: She had no desire to kill anyone, but... Creatus Eidolon


Not all phantoms are myths...

For four thousand years, creatus have concealed themselves from the humans who hunted them almost to extinction.

Now, one rogue creatus faction wants the world to know they exist, and one woman with nothing to lose plans to stop them.

Whatever it takes, she will hunt down and kill the creatus who took her life from her.

This is an excerpt from Book Three in the Creatus Series, which is Coming Soon! If you'd like to start the series from the beginning, you can download the prequel, Creatus (They Exist)here

For those of you who've read the first three stories, you probably know who the character this week is. For the rest of you, I'm leaving out the names so there are no spoilers. The scene below isn't the cover scene...that comes later, but this is during training. Happy reading! J


Dressed in black yoga pants, a thermal shirt, and a black leather jacket so soft and comfortable that it felt like a second layer of skin, she followed him as he leapt from one building to the next.
His tall, muscular body was practically invisible against the starless, inky black sky. The only light came from below her, from inside office windows and residences of clueless humans going on with their lives as though acts of rape and assault weren’t happening in and around the very buildings they hid within.
She was looking forward to trying out her new skills, but only if someone really deserved it. She had no desire to kill anyone, but she’d always felt a strong urge to protect the innocent.
She fiddled with the cylinder strapped to her belt. She’d practiced for days, flicking it out, slicing it through the air, and ripping open a fighting dummy with a few perfectly positioned strikes. Not only had her flexibility and stamina improved, her strength had increased. Her body reacted immediately to training, and in just three days, her muscles were toned and strong. She’d also been practicing her leaps inside the stairwell. She was now able to jump as high as the fourth floor in their building.



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...

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

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!

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...
