My very first blog: Not a tremendous achievement to anyone reading this – but I am so far behind the times it’s laughable. Up until three weeks ago I had never been on facebook, twitter, had only the most meager of profiles on LinkedIn, and I really had no grasp of what a blog was. I’ve spent the last several weeks lurking around on other writers’ blogs and have come to a single conclusion: I can do this!

I’ve written two books. They are "Meeting Destiny" and "Destiny’s Revenge," the final installment to this trilogy should be out in early 2012. Trying to put them in a particular genre was difficult – I chose Paranormal, but they could easily slide into Paranormal Romance, Young Adult, Fantasy and I’m sure many others.

Since this is my very first blog, and I may only be writing it for my own entertainment – I’ll write about the first book: Meeting Destiny. My problem with most Paranormal Romance is the helplessness of the female lead characters. It seems to be a consistent theme in eighty percent of the books I read. My goal was to make unbelievable situations, believable. When I began writing – I vowed to not fall into the same cookie cutter character development.

Meeting Destiny is told from Lauren’s perspective; she’s smart, witty, thoughtful, and courageous. For the women out there – I wanted someone we could relate to. For the husbands, brothers and fathers out there – I wanted to develop a character that has the strength you admire in women in your lives. I hope I hit the mark.

The book description is:

Lauren is visited in her dreams for years by a stranger claiming to be her destiny. Destiny becomes reality when paths cross during a failed robbery attempt. Lauren and the stranger experience chemistry like no other and now her doubt over her long time relationship with her high school sweetheart is not her only secret…someone else knows about her keen intuition and sixth sense. A mysterious clairvoyant seeks Lauren out and tells her not only of her life now but what the future may hold. Soon Lauren is in the middle of a murder investigation and a questionable friendship with the key suspect. Law enforcement, friends and family are concerned for Lauren but unfortunately they are unaware of the true danger…Sinister forces are at work and will stop at nothing to destroy Lauren’s abilities.

Hopefully I piqued your interest enough for you to give it a test drive. It’s available electronically from all major book stores; right now I have no plans to put it in print.
