New Cover-New Venue Links - Happy March!

Due to downsizing at eXcessica Publishing I, along with others, were let go. Therefore Jewel of the Sun's BLOOD DESTINY has been given back to me and I've set it up with Smashwords who will distribute it back to the venues it once was - Sony, Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Diesel. For now, it's available at Smashwords.

I've also given it a new cover though as the designer and provider of the original cover I could have stayed with it. I just thought maybe a fresh look would be a great new start for it.


Blurb - Cassandra Jones' nights become filled with realistic exploits of passion with a man she's barely met.


It all began the night she dumped her two-timing fiancée and Elan Takoda accused her of a federal offense when she had opened a package of peridot gems intended for him.

Months later, miserable, and clueless as to how to stop fantasies, she went along with a plan he had to free them both. When it didn't work, what she then learned would bring her both uncertainty and sorrow.

Elan Takoda recognized his grandfather's hand when he began to envision himself with the granddaughter of his friend. He searched for an end to nightly hours of scorching sex, because he wanted no woman in his life.

A shaman told him he must spend a night with her and part when morning came to break the ritual. When the opportunity landed in his lap, he convinced her it was the only way to free them. That is, until they learned the rest of the story.


Thanks for stopping by.

Forced Termination

Due to a new law signed by Illinois Governor Quinn, I can no longer be an Amazon Assoicate.


This is what I was sent via email:

Today I have signed House Bill 3659, which requires all companies doing business in Illinois to collect and remit legally required sales taxes.



House Bill 3659, The Main Street Fairness Bill, was a bipartisan initiative that passed both houses of the General Assembly with overwhelming support. This law will require all online retailers who connect with an affiliate in Illinois to collect sales tax on customer purchases and remit it to the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR). Illinois currently collects sales tax revenue from the more than 20,000 retailers with physical locations in the state, including online and catalog sales from these vendors.


Illinois’ main street businesses are critical to ensuring our long-term economic stability, which is why they must be able to compete with every company doing business online in Illinois. This law will put Illinois-based businesses on a level playing field, protect and create jobs and help us continue to grow in the global marketplace.


Per my request, the Alliance of Main Street Fairness (AMSF) has begun a website (www.standwithmainstreet.com) to help Illinois affiliates expand their customer bases. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) will partner with the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and AMSF to provide growth opportunities, foster an environment to create more Illinois jobs and provide online shopping consumers with greater opportunities to save money.

It's all hogwash.

Amazon followed by sending me a notification of cancelation of my account. I, however, can be reinstated if I should move out of Illinois.
