Several months ago my husband found this saying by Carl Sagan on the Internet. I truly believe that regardless of what you read and or write this quote holds true. Don't you agree?

Fate, a paranormal romance
Death
stalks Kris in dreams and in reality. The target of a cunning serial
killer, Kris must defend her life and her love. Visions prepare her
for what’s coming, but is knowledge enough to change the future? Or
will demented mania claim victory over fated love?
The
good things in life are coming together for Kristina Collins. She’s
found her ideal home, her career is on track for mega success and the
man of her dreams has finally come back into her life.
In
Fate, the first installment of the Timeless Trilogy, Kris Collins
discovers the benefits and risks of having precognitive visions while
being stalked by a serial killer. Her friends can’t help her, the
FBI can’t save her; she must save herself.
The Timeless Trilogy heroines, Kristina, Veronica and Cassandra, each deal with paranormal abilities as they discover and rediscover eternal love.
Excerpt From FATE
The edge
of the blade felt like ice against her skin. One breath too deep, one
movement—ever so slight—would give the knife a taste of her
blood. It’s a part of the nightmare, she thought, even as she felt
the breath of her attacker lightly touch her face.
The
nightmares that had been plaguing her for weeks warned of this
moment. Images, too terrifying to be real, flashed quickly across her
mind’s eye in an instant replay of her recent night terrors.
Running down a long, empty hallway, filled with doorways on either
side, chased by some unknown monster that knew her deepest fears.
Running towards a movie, scrolling incessantly with images of those
she loved most trapped in a fiery hell. Sepia-toned faces, twisted in
pain, were a stark contrast to the blue, red and yellow of the flames
engulfing them. The echoes of their screams filled the dark,
never-ending hallway. She couldn’t look away and she couldn’t
stop running; her only escape was straight ahead, towards the horror
show.
So far,
the nightmares ended with her sitting straight up in bed, breathing
hard in a cold sweat. He hadn’t caught her yet.
The all
too real feeling of cold steel pressed against her neck gave the
nightmare an alternate ending. Kris tried to control her breathing so
her attacker would think she slept. Her mind raced as she tried to
think of a way to reach the loaded SIG waiting beneath the extra
pillow beside her. She didn’t always keep a gun so handy, but
recent events, including the dreams, made it a necessity.
“Wake
up, Sleeping Beauty.” The familiar voice spoke the words softly in
her ear.

How Do You Make A Best Seller List?
Like most authors one of my goals as a writer is to some day make a Best Seller List even if I am listed dead last. Yes, I know most authors never make a list, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying for it. After all as long as I keep writing there is a chance that some day I will reach that goal.
I do, however, wonder exactly how many books does one need to sell in order to make a best seller list? Does an author need to sell a ten thousand copies of a single title in a day? Or is it more like a million copies in a week? I have done a few searches of the internet but as of yet I have not been able to find the exact answer to this question. With so many best selling authors out there I am hoping that someone can answer this question for me.

Excited to Share
I am excited to share that my third book in my contemporary romance series The Sherbrookes of Newport is now available for all ereaders.
She was raised as an American
Princess
Following the betrayal of a former
lover, Sara Sherbrooke swore off relationships, too afraid she would
be used again. Instead she has devoted all her energy to succeeding
in politics without relying on her family name. That is until one
night in Hawaii with her brother's best friend Christopher Hall.
He is a self-made billionaire
Technological genius and CEO of Hall
Technology, Christopher Hall first met Sara Sherbrooke when he and
Jake Sherbrooke were college roommates. While attending Jake's
wedding in Hawaii, Christopher is reintroduced to Sara, a beauty who
was once way out of his league. But now as the most eligible
bachelor in Silicon Valley, the only thing stopping Christopher from
pursuing Sara is the thought of betraying his best friend.
As they work
together to promote a new education initiative, neither can deny the
attraction between them. But will their growing romance be worth all
of the consequences?

JUST RELEASED
Texas rancher and bar owner Cassidy Flynn is shocked to learn
the bride’s name in an upcoming high society wedding – Cassiopeia Dolmides.
Cassidy is a woman of secrets; the deepest is the identity she was born with and
thought she had escaped long ago. If this bride is impersonating Cassidy, what
trouble will that cause Cassidy and her infant son?
Greek tycoon Theron Christofides needs to gain possession of Dolmides Cruise Lines and the little Greek island where it left a shipwrecked eyesore. A lot of people are at risk without his intervention. Old man Dolmides will sell on one condition: Theron must marry Dolmides’ illegitimate daughter. Seeing no other way to rescue the island’s people, Theron agrees to sacrifice himself and his future.
As Theron stands at the altar with his bride-to-be, a fiery-haired woman in snakeskin boots and a cowboy hat interrupts their vows by calling his bride a fraud. In order for the wedding to continue, Theron must convince Cassidy Flynn to drop her lawsuit. Can he withstand Cassidy’s allure while he gains her cooperation? Or will they both be consumed by the fire of desire?
