Thank You, Readers and Fellow Authors!

As 2013 comes to a close, I'd like to thank all the people who have supported me and my work. Without your encouragement, praise, assistance, and interest I might have given up on this whole independent publishing business! I would never give up writing, but the publishing/marketing side of things is difficult, to put it mildly.

Readers, I appreciate you and your enjoyment of the worlds and characters I've created. I especially appreciate those readers who took the time to contact me about my work or rated/reviewed my stories. Such feedback is priceless and a joy to us writers. You are fabulous and you have my undying love! ;)

Fellow Authors, your support and assistance in getting the word out about my books has been an enormous help. With so many books out there and so many other voices yelling for readers' attention, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle no matter how hard we work to be seen. Without your helping hands I would have become too discouraged to continue. You have my heartfelt gratitude!

To show my appreciation I will continue writing, reading, rating and reviewing, and supporting other authors as I have been. And may we all have an even better literary year in 2014.

Peace and Love,
Michelle

Goodreads Giveaways: Sunscapes Trilogy Books 1 & 2

And the celebration for the release of my newest scifi romance continues...

I'm giving away two signed paperback copies of Here There Be Dragons Sunscapes Trilogy Book 2 on Goodreads. I'm also giving away one signed copy of the first book, Last Chance. The giveaways end Dec 9th so enter to win your copy today!

HERE THERE BE DRAGONS (click here to enter giveaway)

This second installment in the Sunscapes Trilogy continues the epic struggle between two mega companies, deciding the fate of the entire galaxy. The Endgame has begun, pitting Shay Enterprises against Quasicore—the Shay twins, mysterious and dangerous, weave a seductive web for their ruthless, lethal opponent, Webster Griffin, whose hunger for power and control might just destroy all civilization.

Here There Be Dragons continues the saga through Nick Givliani as he investigates the unscrupulous and unpredictable Shay twins and their intriguing cohort, Cassie Draegen. As Shay Enterprise’s resident genius, driven by a dark past of her own, Cassie is their technological advantage over Quasicore. A target of both Griffin’s avarice and Nick’s investigations, Cassie desperately struggles to fulfill the next step in the Shay’s complex design against their enemy. 


LAST CHANCE (click here to enter giveaway)

Corrupt and malign, the corporation Quasicore has dominated Del's life for ten years, using his father's debt and his brother's safety as leverage to make him do their bidding. Forced into acts that become progressively more shady and criminal, Del finally rebels when they demand the unthinkable. To kill.

Desperate for a way out, he flees the Core, only to find himself entangled with the dazzling and dangerous Shays. Sin Shay's offer of protection seems too good to be true and her motives are suspect. Is Shay Enterprises simply a rival of the Core or a partner in crime? Is Sin's offer of a new life his last chance at redemption or just another version of hell? 


Good luck and Happy Reading!
-Michelle

Chocolate Fix-ed

A pox on all holidays!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of holidays in general and Halloween in particular. I love putting up witchy decorations, seeing my son and his friends in all their adorable and/or creepy costumes, watching scary movies, and taking the munchkin trick-or-treating.

However, my son bagged an entire pumpkin head full of candy. Mostly chocolate. And then spread it all out under his chocoholic mother's nose. Ohhhh, the torture!

Bless his heart, he did share. My weight scale tells me he shared a lot. At this rate, by the time the New Year rolls around, there will be approximately two of me. I try to live by the motto, "Everything in moderation." But I have zero chocolate resistance.

Hmm, if I do twice as much yoga, can I eat twice as much chocolate?? The pumpkin head says yes...
