Relationships with parents can be tricky. For many, Mother's Day is a happy occasion, but for many, it's bittersweet or downright painful. I love exploring family dynamics in my stories, and I understand that the relationship that each of my characters ha ...
This is the scene where Kennedy outs her brother, Theo. This piece got written (for me) then put in, then taken out, then put back in (edited shorter) then removed, and well, then just left it to fragmented memories here and there, but you get the gist. I ...
As I said in my previous post, I've got a TON of deleted backstory from Take Me Down. I'm sure many readers may question WHY Silas was with Erin for so long. (I did try and give her some redemption by the end of the book, showing her regrets, and that she ...
I have a ton of deleted material from Take Me Down. Both Kennedy and Silas have a pretty heavy backstories and even though I wrote it, a lot of it wound up getting cut from the book. But, I still want to share these parts of the story with my readers, so ...

This was a deleted scene from Chasing Fire. When Scott and Tori first show up in Miami, he leaves Blaze in charge of his girl and they wind up shopping and then Tori gets a tattoo. Blaze winds up in bed with the girl from the swimwear shop...and it does N ...
So, I'm going through my manuscripts and pulling out some deleted scenes to share with my readers. I'm gonna try and post one for you a week (as I have them). This scene moved all over the place. At first, it was in Chasing Fire, but my original draft ...
