It was all a mistake
She was minding her own business, going about her life: work, school, family and friends. She didn’t ask to have someone die in her apartment.

People kill for mistakes

People die for their mistakes
He followed a source to Texas . . . and lost him. His mistake cost one life . . . could there be more?

Charlie’s day went from bad to worse when she tripped over a dead man on her living room floor.

Charlie Foster’s life morphed from shoe store owner and college student to murder suspect in one trip across her living room. Can she clear her name and find out what in the world happened in her apartment before she’s booked for murder one? Or before the real killer gets his hands on her?

Detective Bobby Allen never meant to become his suspect’s alibi. Is it his sixth sense that tells him blue-eyed Charlie Foster is the key to unraveling the clues to his ‘unofficial’ case? Or is it the one night of passion they shared?

Can they ignore the attraction to one another long enough to figure out what the killer’s next move is before they both become casualties in an unknown battle?

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, violence.

IT’S OUT! IT’S OUT…. My first ever print book - Go to the Chica's blog and post a comment and I will draw a name from today’s commentors as well as the two Dirty Girl box winners. The winner will receive a signed copy of DEADLY MISTAKES - and because I am SO VERY HAPPY for my first ever print release - I am going to throw in a cool pair of socks! WOOHOO - can it get any better?!?!

Christmas meme
Got a meme from the dh :-P

Everyone has time for a few moments of fun! Don't be a scrooge!!!

Your Name: Dennie

1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate? Hot Chocolate
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree? Santa wraps them
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? Colors – lots and lots of colors (surprised?!?!)
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Not if I can help it
5. When do you put your decorations up? whenever I can’t stand the kids asking, “When are we gonna put the tree up?” – I am usually good til about the tenth…
6. What is your favorite holiday dish (excluding dessert)? Chose only one!?!?!
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child: oh boy – hmmm… not sure
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? What do you mean “the truth”? Did he go on a diet and fakes the fat now or something?
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? If we’re at an extended celebration we do but not our gifts in the immediate family.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? We have handmade ornaments, Hallmark Keepsakes and ones from the DH and my childhoods (and Mini-me stuck a few pieces of paper on it last night – not sure what that’s about).
11. Snow: Love it or Dread it? Hello, Texas, rarely see it.
12 . Can you ice skate? In the drive way sure – we get more ice than snow.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Which year? I got a doll for my first Christmas when we still lived in Alaska – still have it – it’s sitting on my sewing machine (actually I still all 3 of the dolls I got that year – I’m a pack rat what can I say?) - the year 1970-something.
14. What's the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Seeing family.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Again with the picking of ONE thing...
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Making my kids scream when I belt out Christmas carols
17. What tops your tree? Santa – but dressed in 1700’s garb
18. Which do you prefer giving or Receiving? Giving – der… can’t wait for the kids to open their gifts… hehehe
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song? I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Okay? In small doses they are okay – pulling them out of the dogs' hair – not so much!


Let me know if you answer and post it somewhere …


Merry Christmas all!

I am a dork - what can I say
Just got back from four days in Vegas - it was an experience!

We had an awesome room that were it not free we would never pay to use (we're cheap *shrugs*) - but it was sweet!





(that's me in the corner of the mirror - didn't realize I was in it til I showed the kids.)

The view from the room was cool, though not the strip - but considering we got in at ten a.m., I didn't care!

I spent most of my time going from one casino to another - The dh was scoping out the poker rooms while I scoped out the gifts shop!

We did ride the gondola ride at the Venitian hotel - that was cool! We actually rode the ones on the inside of the resort... it was about 38 degrees outside...



I will say he rolled his eyes when I took pics of all the McDonalds we passed - I thought the kids would like them - it's not every day you see one all gussied up and vegas-fied!

We saw a Magic show that was really cool - though the angle that we were at (in the front of the room) we saw more than I think we wanted too... know how they do some of the "tricks" I do now!


And I people watched - I will say, I payed more for one meal than all my gaming combined! I am not a gambler... the dh... is another story.
