“Do you know what to do?” Jason asked as he put his truck in park.
“Make a run for it as soon the opportunity arises?” Mikey asked, blinking at him.
“Keep Mikey from running off and ruining this?” Sebastian said, earning a glare from his best friend.
“Exactly,” Jason said as he slowly took in the busy parking lot, looking for any signs that this was a trap.
“I’d really like to go home now,” Mikey said, but since she’d been saying that for the past half hour, they decided to ignore her.
“Is there a reason why you felt the need to kidnap me?” Mikey asked, not really sounding all that concerned about it as she pulled a baseball out of her sweatshirt pocket and began rolling it between her hands.
“I need your help,” Jason said, knowing that it was better to just get to the point when dealing with his niece.
“That would explain the kidnapping,” Mikey murmured with a nod of understanding.
“Can you really call it kidnapping when all I did was promise you a new bucket of baseballs in you got in my truck?” Jason asked, still debating the odds of this plan actually working.
“God, I don’t think that I could eat another bite,” Cole said with a satisfied sigh and a grin that turned into a wince as he curled up into the fetal position that had Jason narrowing his eyes on his son.
“You’re pathetic,” Chloe mumbled, shaking her head in disgust as she closed the notebook that she’d been reading and-
“Ow!”
“Damn it,” Jason said as he roughly rubbed his hands down his face only to sigh heavily as he sat back in his chair and found himself looking at that letter.
Goddamn it…
Telling himself that he needed to get through the rest of the applications tonight, Jason focused back on the application in front of him and…couldn’t stop thinking about Mikey’s letter. He’d been on the approval committee since he was promoted to Head of the History Department and this was the first time in ten years that he’d wished that he’d turned down that damn promotion.
He didn’t want to do this.
“Oh, my god, you’re so sweet!” Charlie said with a watery smile as she pulled the little traitor in her arms and gave him the kiss that should have rightfully been his.
“I know how much you love Christmas, Mommy,” Dustin said with an adorable smile while Devin was forced to stand there, feeling his right eye twitch while he watched as his son grabbed the large cupcake with extra buttercream frosting and Christmas sprinkles and made a show of handing it to Charlie. “I picked this one out just for you, Mommy.”
Dear Reader,
With the Pregnancy Chronicles done and Misunderstood and Furious finally finished and published, I decided that perhaps we should change things up a bit with the Chronicles.
I asked a question today on Facebook, which sent readers into a bit of a panic, lol. I asked about the Honeymoon from Hell books and where we left off. Several readers were understandably concerned about Unstoppable being pushed back because of this questions, which it will not be 🙂
I think we need to finish the Honeymoon from Hells and I think the Chronicles are the perfect place to do that, don’t you?
Dear Reader,
I am pleased to announce that Misunderstood, the first Neighbor from Hell YA novel and Furious, the second novel in the Anger Management Series are now available!
As some of you know, I had been working on Furious over the summer, but was forced to put it aside so that I could make sure that Misunderstood was ready in time for its December release. Once I finished with Misunderstood, I returned to Furious, hoping that it would still make a 2020 release and after a lot of sleepless nights and the kindness of my team and help from Smashwords.com, I was able to finish it and put it up for a surprise release this week.
It took a little time, but Furious is now available in ebook at Amazon, iBooks, B&N, Kobo, and Smashwords. I will be getting both books in Audible and paperback next year. It will just take a little bit of time.
For those of you who are new to both series, let me give you a brief overview of both books.
“I want at least a half dozen children,” Jessica announced with a wistful sigh as she shoved Mathew off the chair and sat down, ignoring her twin brother’s pained grunt as he hit the floor.
“I want four. Two boys and two girls,” Elizabeth said absently as she glanced at the maternity ward’s waiting room doors only to sigh when no one walked through the double doors to give them an update.
“Two,” Cole said as he dropped down on the floor next to Sebastian, who was too busy reading over Mikey’s shoulder to pay attention to what they were talking about.
“How about you, Sebastian?” Cole asked as he opened a Coke and took a sip.
“Don’t care,” Sebastian murmured absently as he gestured for Mikey, who was sitting between his legs, lounging back against him, to swipe to the next page.
“Shouldn’t that be up to Mikey,” Joshua said, making the rest of them chuckle as the oblivious pair frowned down at whatever they were looking at on Sebastian’s iPad.
“Definitely a mistake,” Haley said, slowly exhaling as she closed her eyes and tightened her grip on the bathroom counter while she waited for what she was really hoping was just Braxton Hicks to finish.
When the pain finally stopped, she released a shuddering sigh, moved to stand up only to decide against it and continue staring at the bathroom floor. Jason was definitely going to kill her, she thought, reaching up to push her glasses back up her nose as she stood there, debating her options.
She could continue standing there, hunched over while she waited for the next contraction to tear through her or she could try to shuffle her way back into the living room where she’d foolishly left her phone. Definitely going to kill her, Haley thought with a whimper as she slowly shuffled her way to the door and–
Decided that this would be a perfect spot to scream her head off.
Dear Reader,
So, as the title explained, I am being super evil tonight! I am trying to pull something off, something secret, but in order to do that I need to make tonight count. There will be a Chronicle next week and a teaser from Misunderstood this week, but for tonight…
I put my evil plan into action!
