Hello everyone,
I'm excited to be here at My Crazy Corner with Apryl Baker and the coolest Blog Fest in the universe! There are so many awesome authors and books this month, I am blown away and wish I were a speed-reader. I write New Adult fiction, and my first two novels, Shattering Halos and Stargazer, have a paranormal twist to them: cue some seriously hot and sometimes depraved angels. Shattering Halos is already out there for you on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and the like, while Stargazer's release date is set by my publisher for November 21st.
Today, though, I'm going to focus on what's happening.... TOMORROW! My very first indie book, New Adult contemporary romance Pandora Wild Child, will be released! It's a blend of steamy, unpredictable, funny, and angsty. I hope you enjoy the excerpt and the teasers below, and hopefully, you'll join the 500 other guests at our little Facebook release party too, which is spearheaded by my awesome author friends: SC Stephens, Cheryl McIntyre, Penelope Ward, Victoria Ashley, Kristin Vayden, Beth Michele, Sarah Elizabeth, Mary Elizabeth, D Nichole King, Aly Martinez, and Tessa Tevan. There will be some serious entertainment and giveaways on October 28th between 7-10 pm EST. This is the link to join: http://bitly.com//PandorasReleaseParty
One last note before we get down and dirty with my bad-girl Pandora and her sweet and naughty alpha boys: the e-book will be on sale on the day of release only, at $2.99. After October 28th, the price will go up to its regular tag of $3.99 and will not change again this year.
Enjoy!

My first baby, Shattering Halos:
And heeeere’s Pandora Wild Child, ready to goes wild TODAY!!
Synopsis:
I’m free. Fucking free!
I’m in college with my best friends and far, far from home!
With my Scheuermann’s disease as the excuse, my father kept me locked up at home all through high school. Here in Deepsilver, I can finally be me, Pandora, so—
Why the hell should I hold back?
They accept our fake IDs at Smother, our local haunt. I’m the life of the party, everyone loves me—hell, I could get away with murder in this place! Drunk off my ass, I dance on the bar, and—
I’m on top of the world!
I need to get my shit together, though. If I don’t pull off good grades, my father won’t pay my tuition. There’s no way I’m moving back into his “fortress.”
At the bar, I set my eyes on a gorgeous stranger. My plans don’t involve him long term; one night should be enough. But Dominic is more than I bargained for. God, I’m so drawn to this man. My skin hums at his touch because—
He expels the shadows of my past and replaces my pain with desire.
Perfect Dominic. Beautiful, graduating, soon-to-move-on-with-his-life Dominic.
I’m a wild child. A hot mess. Not grownup and focused like him. He’s addictive, and I am weak, but—screw this; I can wean myself off him! With the right antidote—
Addictions can be broken.

Excerpt:
PANDORA
But on his bench, I melt.
My shield shatters, and I am open to him.
He always gives me more than the hour I come for, and warm, strong hands slide over my bare skin in exactly the way he’s paid to do.
Still, there’s an electricity in the room when he’s near. My heart accelerates instead of slowing down. And sometimes, when I can’t help the way my insides clench for him, my breath stutters.
My response never goes unnoticed; for an instant, his hands freeze. Then, they resume their beautiful dance over me.
When I am starved for him, I flip on the bench. I shut my eyes because sometimes, sometimes, I am shy. He doesn’t speak, then. Through thin slits under my lashes, I watch him watch me.
Some days, his breath coasts light over my face before he kisses me. “Pandora,” he whispers, “I can’t do this here.”
I don’t answer. He stops massaging me, and his hands caress me instead. Glide over the ridges of my ribs until they brush the sides of my breasts.
I’ve got to get my shit together. My life’s a mess, and I love it, fear it, hate it. I’m driving him crazy. Driving myself crazy. But it is what I allow myself. For these few hours a week are my respite, when his hands quiet my mind.

AUTHOR BIO:
I write New Adult fiction with a paranormal twist and don’t shy away from romance and heart-wrenching passion when necessary.
I moved from Norway to the United States in 2001, and the first awesome five years I spent in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles. Then I read “The Book,” aka Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which spurred my husband and me to move cross country to beautiful Savannah, Georgia.
I’m currently on my seventh year in the Deep South, where I enjoy the heat and the humidity. Besides writing, I spend my time with our “petting zoo” as in an opinionated parrot, a herd of cats that are experts on keyboard shortcuts, and puppies that…uh, bark.
I hold a Master’s degree in languages, with concentrations within literature and linguistics. I taught at college level for a decade before settling in as a graduate adviser at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Writing is my passion, my joy, and my addiction. When I’m not writing, I read.
Shattering Halos is my debut novel, and its standalone sequel, Stargazer, is due out later this year.
