Book three is almost done with the writing part. Extensive editing will follow and hopefully it will be out in late fall!
I hated to do it, but I killed off a main character in the third book. It came to me in a meditation one day while trying to figure out which direction to go with it. It's made me quite emotional as I get thoroughly wrapped up in my characters and I've been in mourning for the last couple of days. I hope to bring my readers along for a wild ride!

Looking for a publisher
As soon as book two is ready, I am going to look for a publisher to get my book out there more. I'm a little disappointed it's not going anywhere but I'm not real good at marketing, so I will put it in the hands of the experts and keep my fingers crossed!

Who is Shane Coleman
Shane is Ted's younger brother. He has a nasty side to him that emerges any time there is something he feels he needs to compete with Ted over. Because of this nasty streak, Ted's former fiance lost her life a couple of years before he met Christine which put a lot of hard feelings between the brothers. Now, Shane has found a new 'plaything'; Christine.
Christine has a certain way about her that Shane finds irresistible. Her strength and forwardness are intriguing as he finds himself wanting her and pushes his boundaries to win her over. Unfortunately, she is a lot stronger than he thought and resists his advances and blackmail. Eventually Shane finds himself throwing up the white flag where Christine is concerned although he still has hope and that little nasty streak that keeps him continuing to want the one woman he cannot have. His feelings go up and down like a roller coaster as he tries to protect her in one moment and then turns on her in the next. He is surely a character that needs to be watched!

How the original story developed.
The very first writing of "Deadly Dreams: Burning Desires" was done in 1991. I remember back then having been bored with my life and unfulfilled in the romance department, I embarked on a journey living vicariously through my story, developing each character out of the needs and feelings I either had or lacked. In a way, all the characters are 'me'!
I was living in San Diego at the time and had come through the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas on the way to Connecticut to visit family. I fell in love with the place, having been a lot like where I had grown up and therefore decided it would be a good place for Christine to visit and have her adventure. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would actually end up living there in real life! Since I had only been there for one day, I vaguely remembered the layout of the town and ultimately in the rewrite, I kept things changed so as not to make waves with the inhabitants of this lovely area!
It originally took six months to write; working nearly every day for hours at a time. The rewrite took two more months. I lived this story in my mind, weaving the plot in my head; rewinding and redoing the story until it felt right. It was a lot like making a movie only I was the director and all the actors! I can honestly say it was the most fun I have ever had in front of a computer!

Second Book Coming Soon!
Ok, folks, I'm a little off on the time frame; about a month off anyway, but book number two will be coming out in a couple of weeks!! The first editing has been completed and I'm thinking of adding a little more spice to the last couple of pages. It sort of falls a wee bit flat there, but other than that, it looks good!! Another smooth read!
The second book, "Deadly Dreams: Driving Force" picks up where the first book leaves off only in the second book, there's not as much character building since the main characters are introduced in the first book. As requested, I have added more paranormal events as Christine discovers a new ability! This time, however, she is led to save someone else's life through her visions and dreams but then finds herself in yet another predicament that requires the help of her lover Ted, his brother Shane and her coworker Greg.
The climax of the story has our heroine Christine battling the serial killer in the astral plane where she is alone in her quest to save herself and the lives of other women who might find themselves in the clutches of this purely devilish man and his hellish tortures!
