Check out my friend's new book!!!

A cult of sex faeries start taking men hostage…including Claire’s boyfriend.Book Two of the Curtain Torn SeriesWhen Myrna Terrence’s husband is abducted from her dream by fairies, she asks Claire for help. Claire investigates and discovers other married men of Four Corners have been kidnapped. Men who share enough similarities to suggest the kidnappings may be related.She learns the abductions are the work of The Aeval, a cult of sex faeries whose mission is to ensure women are pleasured by their husbands. Dell decides he and Claire should go under cover—under the covers. By pretending to be a married couple who are having trouble in bed, they hope to lure The Aeval to them.The plan works almost too well. They don’t have to fake the chemistry between them, nor the resulting frustration when they stop themselves from going too far. The Aeval take the bait, and Claire must confront a goddess, the truth, and her fears about Dell in an effort to save his life.But if she succeeds, those same truths may be what sends him out of her life forever.Warning: this title contains the following: hot nekkid men with wings, regular nudity, and prolonged sexual tension followed—finally—by explicit sex. And the faeries who punish husbands for not “pleasing” their wives are entirely fictional (sorry!).Excerpt available...hereAnd you can buy it here"Ms. Hart has created a beautiful, romantic love story set within a magical world that is both whimsical and crystalline pure. The chemistry between her two main characters is spellbinding and ethereal." - Cerri Ellis

Hello :)

Sorry everyone its been awhile.

Things have been hectic in the real world.

On the writing front, I have made a lot of progress. I am currently working towards completing chapter three.

However I have decided to change the crime and the victim(s) at the last minute. So for now I am trying to work through the changes.

I have had chapter 1 critqued with some very positive comments and feedback.

Off to keep on working.
