Tempting The Light

Excerpt from Tempting The Light



Abby Fitzgerald didn’t expect a surprise birthday party when she got home today. She didn’t expect bold colored daisies or pretty wrapped gifts. But most of all she didn’t expect to find her live-in boyfriend Burt, engaged in a spooge-a-paloosa fest with a chick dressed as a mime. Her crazy old grandmother warned her she would be cursed on her twenty-fifth birthday, but who would have believed it?
Burt slapped his body up against the mime from behind in a vigorous frenzy on the sleigh styled queen-sized bed. The woman’s hands and painted white face pressed up against an invisible window with his arm wrapped around her waist to keep her vertical.
Seeing Abby, the mime's lips parted into an "O" breaking the sex-me-up red heart painted across them. She covered her mouth with her gloved hands.
Abby stared in horror at Burt with his mouth open and eyes closed, savoring the sheer ecstasy of screwing the mime. Her heart shattered shooting pulmonary shrapnel up her throat. He never looked like that when they were together.
"You’re freaking cheating on me?"
Burt’s eyes popped open, before he leaped from the bed. "Son of a . . ."
Abby dashed into the hallway bathroom, and rummaged in the crowded cabinet under the sink. "Where’s the damn Scrubbing Bubbles? Or better yet, the Borax?" She tossed a mildewed loofa and a half used bottle of honeysuckle hand lotion over her shoulder. They landed not far from Burt’s bare feet.
"Abby, I’m sorry. I was going to wait until after your birthday to tell you." He placed his hands on both sides of the bathroom door trim and leaned into the room. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I’m trying to find something to scour the sick image of you and your mime girlfriend from my eyes. Better yet, I’ll get the melon ball scooper." Unable to contain herself, she whipped a can of lemon scented shaving cream at his head.
He ducked but the foaming missile bounced off his hair-sprayed-until-bullet-proof hair. His nostrils flared like an enraged bull. Too bad that was all he had in common with the animal. "You’re acting irrational. Stop it."
True. Right now she couldn’t even think straight. "Get away from me."
"It doesn’t have to be like this," he said under his breath.
She ignored his statement and shoved his skinny five-foot-four-inch unclothed body aside and marched back into the bedroom.
The mime perched on the edge of the bed with a sheet wrapped around her naked body. She held up both hands in a stop gesture and waved them back and forth.
"Abby. Please settle down." Burt trailed behind her.
"Settle down? Do you know why I came home early?"
"No." He glanced at his watch then looked absolutely baffled.
"Because I got fired today, Burt."
He tilted his head to the side and wrinkled his rather large forehead. "Oh. Well, how were you planning to help me pay the rent then?"
She wished she had a gun to shoot the stupid out of him.

Ottar is on the loose- Weekend Writing Warriors 4-10-16

Ottar is on the loose! Weekend Writing Warrior snippet. My pre-order link is below, too.

Every weekend a wonderful blog hop happens where the Weekend Writing Warriors share creative snippets of their stories. Click on the link above to visit the other bloggers. Like our posts, share our posts, and leave a comment if you’re of a mind to.


Here is the set-up for this week's excerpt. It is edited to fit the 10 sentence rule.River's friend and colleague Ottar is helping him track down the Gnome and Jersey Devil. It's dark and Ottar is Jet lagged so he mistakes a life-size dinosaur statue for a cryptid. Oh and yes, he's an Australian. 


"Bloody hell." Ottar raised his gun a second time. 

River placed his hand on the barrel and lowered it. "You just shot a dinosaur statue. I think you’ve been out in the field too long, you crazy bastard."
Ottar lifted his left palm. "Crikey, who in their right mind has a brachiosaurs in their front yard?"
"That would be Pepper and I can’t wait to hear you explain why you shot her sculpture with a tranq gun."
"Yeah, well, she must have a few wallabies loose in the upstairs paddock." He pointed to the side of his head and made a circle with his finger. 




Bad luck magnet Abby Fitzpatrick gets fired, catches her boyfriend cheating with a mime, and is cursed by an evil genie who pops out of a tampon box. She’s bound and determined to remove the spell, and as fate would have it, the hottest guy she’s ever met is out to kill her.

River Stone, a Cryptid hunter for Legends and Myths Police Squad (L.A.M.P.S.), poses as sheriff for Abby’s hometown of Haber Cove, New Jersey. He’s out to find and capture a man-eating gnome and bag the legendary Jersey Devil monster. Little does he realize, the woman who catches his heart is the same creature that he was sent to destroy.

Tempting the Light is the first completed novel in the L.A.M.P.S. series that features hunky secret agents who find true love while hunting and slaying dangerous Cryptids.

Abby's headed for the Pillow Room! Weekend Writing Warriors 3-27-16

Happy weekend everyone. 
I hope you all have a great Sunday and a happy holiday if you celebrate Easter. We are officially in spring! Although, it's freaking freezing where I live. Here's a spring picture to celebrate. Well, it's kind of springy. 

This week's blurb is Abby and Pepper talking in private. Abby turned into the Jersey Devil the night before and doesn't remember anything. River the sheriff just dropped by to see if they knew anything about Mr. Livingston who is missing. Abby is kind of freaking out. 

Pepper tossed some ice cubes in a glass then poured the tea. "Causing someone pain is not in that small body of yours. Now go and take the nice sheriff his drink and stop looking guilty."
"But I have no idea what I did last night as—as that creature." Abby was sure she was suffering a nervous breakdown. They would haul her to the insane asylum and wrap her in a nice white jacket then throw her in one of those pillow rooms—until they decided to strap her to a chair and make her sizzle as if she were a bug in a zapper.
Pepper’s brows lowered in concern. “We’ll figure this out. You won’t change for another month, right?" Pepper handed the tea to her and gave her a nudge toward the waiting sheriff. 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I can't wait to read everyone's fabulous snippets.

Mastering the art of deception Weekend Writing Warriors 3-20-16

Mastering the art of deception
Weekend Writing Warriors 3-20-16
Every weekend a wonderful blog hop happens where writers, known as the Weekend Writing Warriors share creative snippets of their stories. Click on the link to visit the other bloggers. Like our posts, share our posts, and leave a comment if you’re of mind to. Writers thrive on comments.

This weeks snippet is in River's (My hero) point of view. Abby and Pepper are inside and he's waiting for them. 

      River mastered reading the signs of deception long ago and these two women displayed almost every one. Maybe they had nothing to do with the disappearance of Mr. Livingston, but his intuition said the two ladies were up to no good. The taller blonde covered for Abby. Still, Abby’s cute brown curls almost hid her tiny face, the face of an angel—a fallen angel. If he could get her alone without the Amazon, he’d no doubt coax her into telling the truth. 


White sheets flapped in the light friendly breeze on a clothesline that stretched from an old pine tree to a steel pole. It reminded him of growing up in California. He walked past the giant dinosaur sculpture in the yard—how freaky was that—over to the smoldering ashes in the fire pit. With a long stick, he poked around in the hot embers, denim and a few other scraps of material hid under a burnt log. Someone had tried to burn his or her clothes?


TEMPTING THE LIGHT will be released April 20th. 
Here's the blurb.

I wanted to say "Thank You" to everyone who commented on my blog the past few weeks. I've enjoyed reading all of your blurbs. 
Set up for the excerpt:
Abby turned into the Jersey Devil the night before. The hot sheriff pays the girls a visit. Abby is attracted to him but is nervous because she has no idea what she did as the Jersey Devil. 


Abby’s lips parted. A strong urge to touch his golden blond curls waving from under his sheriff’s hat tugged at her hands.
Pepper raised her eyebrows in an I’m-enjoying-the-view sort-of way.
"Morning, ladies. Do you have a minute?" His deep husky voice dripped over Abby, warm and sweet like honey—before  killer bees flew in for attack. He tipped his hat and smiled enough to show a glimpse of healthy, white teeth.
"Well I’ll be darned. You’re the new sheriff?" Pepper asked.



Release date is April 20th
