"This isn't my first near-death experience."
Seth leaned forward conspiratorially. “If you wanted to flirt with death, I was right there all day.”
I held his gaze. “If I wanted to flirt with death, I would have winked in a mirror.”

The cover art for All I Want For Christmas Is A Mermaid- a cartoon of a woman in a blue sun dress, yellow-green necklace, and holding a green purse walks down a sunny beach with palm trees and pink flowers framing her. There is blue water behind her and the cover is a buttery yellow. Cover art for Bodies In Motion - it's mostly blue, white, and black, has the profiles of an dark-skinned man and a fair-skinned woman floating above a rocky terrain. The cover of Even Villains Have Interns showing a woman with long, brown hair pulled back leaning back against a man with lighter hair, almost kissing. She’s wearing a sleeveless red dress, he is in a black and white suit with a bow tie. Behind them is smoky and dark, beneath them is the skyline of Chicago. The cover for The Day Before - Yellow police tape across the foggy background hinting at a crime scene. The title is in black on the police tape. There are handcuffs in the foreground. The tagline reads "It's not a murder if there's no body."

This may a season of winter for you. The world may seem gray and bleak, but that means change is coming. Keep going!

Quiet Moment of the Day:

A simple sunset is full of color. What's fun is that it's full of color not because the sun changes color, but because the world changes what we see. Everything around you influences the colors of the sunset and your life.

We have a problem...

That is an insect I found floating in the soup I was heating up for lunch.

Did it come from the freshly opened can of soup, the microwave, or my freshly washed bowl?
A small, black beetle on a spoon surrounded by a milky broth.

“War makes monsters of us all…” but it’s peace that might destroy Rowena Lee. She doesn’t want to let go of the past, doesn’t want to forgive herself for the hurt she’s caused, but there’s someone waiting for her to realize that love can be a powerful weapon.

The cover of Change Of Momentum. Predominantly blue the background shows an alien planet with spiky mountains. Above that is a couple, a man with European features and a woman with monolid eyes and dark hair that suggests Asian ancestry. She’s leaning against him while he looks down at her.

Seth was playing the clever Miss Lizzie Bennet to my unflappable Darcy.
The daisy-chained Persephone to my smiling Hades.
And, nope, picturing Seth in a flower crown was not slowing down my train of thought.

"I'm a feral monster of a human being who has all the social graces of an enraged ogre. There's nothing likeable about me."

"You talk so tough, Sunshine. But you've got nothing to back it up."

I glared at him.

He bopped my nose.

The background color is green and the title is written in white with the word Cryptid in pink.

If you're describing a real world place in your book that the POV character loves you need to write it in such a way that your readers are pricing a vacation there just to see it.

Opening chapters must have three things:
• A point of view character who needs something
• An antagonist
• A call to action

The POV character's opening need can be as simple as wanting a cookie or as complex as wanting to survive. But they need to want something.

In his arms, I felt like I could breathe again. Shed a layer of armor. Steal a moment of happiness.
Right. Happiness.
That’s what I was planning to steal. Not a kiss.
Not a single kiss.
Maybe a lot of kisses though...

“What are we going for?”

“Ethereal goddess, untouchable and enchanting,” Max said. His fingers were in my hair, teasing my curls into place as my heart raced. “I want a hundred thousand people to wake up tomorrow and think about how much they love brunettes.”

The cover art for All I Want For Christmas Is A Gargoyle - a cartoon of a woman with dark hair wearing a red tank top and white shorts sitting on gray stone steps in front of stone gargoyles shaped like the illegitimate love child of a dragon and a goose. The woman is holding a red book with the Korean flag on it. The Korean flag is white with a red and blue ying-yang symbol in the center (called a Taegeuk in Korean) and black trigrams in the four corners. The background is purple.

In the last days of autumn, while everything is changing, there are are still beautiful butterflies.

In the rough days when all your life is in upheaval, there are still good things. Look for them.
