My life was everything I wanted it to be. It was mapped out and planned. I wanted it all, the career, the right husband, the white picket fence and kids. Until he was thrust into my world, ripping me from it. My carefully planned life shattered, proving to be nothing more than a cheap illusion, and now I’m living in this twisted form of hell, where enemies and friends are one and the same. I thought I wanted perfection. Now I don’t know what I want - perhaps not even my own freedom.
Jude
I define wrong. I thrive on the corrupted greed of others, on their trivial hope, and their false optimism. I am the bookie, and the bookie always wins. For those whose hopes far outweigh the depths of their pockets, well, let’s just say paying with your life is not just a figure of speech.
I have always been in control, until suddenly I’m not any more. The day one of my collectors dragged her into my office as payment on a debt, I should have killed them both right there, but I didn’t. Now she threatens my control, threatens everything I’ve built, and yet I still can’t kill her. Why can’t I kill her?
By the time I’m done with her, she may pray for death.
Everything is not always as it seems. Lust, blood, lies…Nothing this wrong should feel so right.

My Thoughts:
Jude has done a job he’s not happy about. But he thinks of himself as a businessman. Victoria has a job that she feels makes a difference. And then their worlds collide. This situation shows how clever this author is. It’s certainly not a type of book that I’ve read before. It made me curious to see how the story develops.
One thing to prepare yourself for is the graphic language – this is just a part of who Jude, his family, and associates are. Our author is also very creative in that she takes what should be a very serious situation and makes me laugh. Then in the next instant, the story turns serious again. It’s this interaction between Jude and Victoria that will keep you reading because you want to know how things turn out.
Some readers may be turned off by how Victoria is treated while in Jude’s company. But I’m impressed that the author doesn’t attempt to romanticize what’s happening in a lot of the scenes. Which just makes the storyline more realistic. We see that even though we think we’re going to follow a certain path in life, we can make a change if we want to. And don’t expect an ending – the reader is left up in the air as to what’s going to happen so that you’ll have to make sure to check out Wrath when it becomes available.

I love writing (obvious since I'm on here, right?) I don't have a specific genre - I just write whatever story manifests itself inside my brain.
Writing is like therapy. There is nothing else that I can lose myself in the way I can a story. It amazes me that words can take you away from reality and leave you in a dazed state once you've finished.
Aside from writing, I love sloths and mythology. I kind of have a thing for vampires, because let's face it, something about the fact that they fight the urge to bite your neck and drain the life from you is rather sexy. I have an irrational fear of the zombie apocalypse. I honestly cannot imagine a more horrifying way to go than by being ripped to shreds by a mass of mumbling, decaying, and oozing corpses with clicking teeth. Ugh! I just shuddered typing it.
Now the boring basics: I'm married with two wonderful children. I grew up in the south listening to a ton of grunge rock. Me and my sister have an obsession with going to concerts and getting front and center. We often fight over who can get the most swag from the band. I have an unhealthy obsession with Russell Brand's mind, and the smell of crayons is the most soothing smell there is.
I hope if you read my work that you will enjoy it. After all, writing is the most amazing magic trick of all... it puts the reader in the mind of the writer (kind of creepy if you think about it). It's scary inside my brain, watch out!
I hope you love my little worlds as much as I do.
