~*Ancient Alpha Wolf a Free Read*~
I just finished writing a free read about a powerful werewolf shifter and his long lost soul mate.
Excerpt:
"Easy Zenavuk," a deep husky voice crooned. His voice, my blue wolf! Why I didn't recognize his presence, I do not know. Happiness engulfed me as I slipped from beneath the warmth of the furs, barely wincing as my feet hit the cold dirt floor. I ran to my wolf, flinging my arms around his massive waist, forcing a growl from his throat. The top of my head barely reached his chest, and I was forced to stand on my tip toes as I awaited his kiss; a kiss that ignited fire throughout my body, like hot, molton lava, providing me with warmth, finally!
"Why have you brought me here?" I asked him. "It's freezing, you know I do not like the cold."
"Didn't I just warm your bones?" My wolf asked in a deep, haunting voice, as he grasped my hand, leading me over to the large bed. "There is much you will get used to once you live here on a permanent basis," he said.
"Permanently?" I asked, raising a brow as another chill gripped my body, in spite of the warmth he just provided me with. "Do I not have a say in the matter?" I asked.
"We run out of time," my wolf said, folding his arms while taking on a strong stance, as though I would challenge him, and challenge him I would, I must, for he would take me into another realm, one in which I would not be equipped to handle just yet. "I yearn for you night and day Zenavuk. I've waited for you for centuries, now you are mine again. There will come a time when I can no longer access you through dreams, only your meditation, and tell me, where will that leave us?"

Ebook Piracy
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to take some time out focus on ebook piracy. I know the music and movie industry go through the same problems as we do. They also fight it. I do understand that his may be a losing battle, but I truly believe that something good can possibly come from this. I'm not having these feelings just because I'm a writer. I'm a reader as well, and never have I tried to obtain a book without buying directly from the publisher or third party sites. It really ticks me off that folks must find a way to cheat instead of paying $1-$10 or however much the ebook may cost.It's downright sickening.
Below are a few sites and a Cease and Desist form Lucinda Dugger of Copyright Alliance sent to me. As a writer, I urge you to join these groups to see what accomplishments can be made while standing up for our rights.

AuthorsAgainstEbooktheftYahoogroup and AuthorsAgainstCopyrightTheftYahooGroup.
Many sites have users who are actively seeking books to download for free. Unfortunately, I've seen numerous titles by fellow authors on a certain site. They are currently hunting for my book, Her Dark Desires, and I'm sure they'll find it, and my work will be up there, right along with other hard working authors.
As an author, we all know how many hours, weeks, and months it takes to write and polish a manuscript before sending it to a publisher. After that, there are many more hours invested for editing. After we pour our blood, sweat, and tears into these books, freeloaders come along and steal our work. Unacceptable.
If anyone has anymore valuable information regarding ebook piracy, please share.
Thank you.

New Endeavors
This year has been totally awesome. Busy, but awesome. I guess busy is good. I'm paving the way to new and exciting adventures in 2010. One of the changes I plan to make is running my own business. Although not hard, being a single mom is challenging, but not without rewards.
My daughters are on vacation and it really eats at me having to pull my daughters out of bed, in the cold. lol This time of year, I'm basically lazy and the hibernation mode kicks in. Seriously, grocery shopping has been a major production for me because I simply can't stand the cold. I would actually pay someone to do the grocery shopping. I was born and raised in Maryland, just can't stand the cold. I swear, I should have been born in California!
Anyway, I have been wanting to have and run my own business for the past six years. I have a small virtual assistant business, but nothing I can truly rely upon. I have thoroughly weighed the pros and cons of being a business owner. The sole proprietor and LLC I've thoroughly investigated years ago. I would always go towards LLC, and protecting my personal assets. The tax thingy and health insurance taken out of my bi-weekly corporate paycheck are luxuries I've come to know and love. Health insurance is bloody expensive, so this is another con I'm preparing for.
As a business owner, working during the holidays and weekends is necessary, but you know, I really have never had a problem with that. I'm noticing the older I become, the harder it is to roll myself out of bed in the morning to join the rat race, and making someone else rich. I remember when I supported myself solely on my virtual assistant and house cleaning business, I was up every morning at four o'clock sharp, didn't even need an alarm. I was happy, exhilirated, rarely paid a sitter, and dinner was always ready when I picked my babies up from school! Oh, and my house was immaculate!
Anyway, I'm still seeking those amazing feelings, and truly believe folks should strive to do what makes them happiest in life!
