Back in February, I submitted a short story to RWA's Second Chances Anthology call. I wrote the 5500-word story on a whim, with the plot coming out of nowhere and the story telling itself. Even the title was easy. Don't you love when that happens?!
Well, I recently got a rejection email, so that means I have a new paranormal short story just in time for Halloween. And today is Cover Reveal Day! Do you see how I worked the situation to my advantage? The Big R equals Re-purpose in my book. :) Many thanks to Bethany at Dragonfly Press Design for the rush job on the cover! You're awesome!!!
Coming to an e-tailer near you on Friday, October 23!
Blurb: Even as a woman used to dealing with dead people, Genesis Blacke has met her match.

Updates!
Sorry for skipping this week's Writing Tip Wednesday post! It'll be back next week with writing advice from Tatum Throne. I'm finally recovering from last week's sinus infection, I got new cover art (a peek at the cover is coming soon!), and Iced Latte is almost for the Publish button! Today I'm over at the Contemporary Romance Writers blog with a guest article on Choosing the Right Publishing Path, the roundtable discussion I led at this month's IRWA meeting. Check it out!

Cover Reveal!!! And Updates
The break I've been taking from blogging is paying off! I'm almost ready to release Love Served Hot, the first book in the Love on the Menu series! I'll post as soon as it's available!!!
Being a tiny bit of a perfectionist, I want to be sure my story is the best I can make it before I take the leap into self-publishing. So, I've been immersed in edits and working with my fabulous cover artist and Sextet sister, Bethany Michaels at Dragonfly Press Design, to create a book my readers will love. Here's a peek at the cover and the blurb!
As acting director of her uncle’s retirement village, Lilith Montgomery must hire a chef for the new restaurant. She’s interviewed several candidates, but instantly decides on the sexy Irishman whose culinary creations give her foodgasms. Her rotten luck with relationships makes her determined to resist her attraction to him, even if it means sneaking into the kitchen at night for a taste of his delectable entrĂ©es.
Flynn Hastings is finally getting his life back on track after a year of anger and guilt over his sister’s death. He’s returned home to be near his family and has found the perfect job—with one small problem. His boss makes him want to cook in more than the kitchen. Putting aside his hard and fast rule about mixing business with pleasure, he sets his sights on Lilith, hoping their budding friendship turns out to be more than a flash in the pan.
