Suspense to leave you breathless,
romance to soothe your soul!
Suspense to leave you breathless,
romance to soothe your soul!
WELCOME TO MY HOME ON THE WEB!
I'm so glad you decided to visit! Feel free to wander through my site. If you've got even more time on your hands, head on over to my blog and follow my almost daily roller coaster ride as a newly published author.
My heart and soul belong to fear, death and the good guys winning so naturally I'm addicted to thrilling suspense. But what's a good suspense without a compelling romance to spice it up? So I've joined my two favorite story elements to create thrilling romantic suspense stories.
Thanks for stopping by and please come back often for updates!

What's New With Alexa?
May 2013
Happy May! I hope all is well! I'm keeping
busy with lots of writing activities. My
next book, Carry Me Home, is set to release
June 5th! It's the first in the new Tease-Entice line from Decadent Publishing. I'm very excited
to share Jamie and Mary's story with you.
(If you read Her Highland Champion, you've already met the MacDougalls!) I'm also doing edits for the next Tease story, Silent Surrender. Hopefully next month I'll be able to share
that cover with you! I'm also trying to write
a new Honor Guard story, one set in Mexico
with an amazing IPN operative. Hopefully I
'll be submitting that soon. And, on top
of all that, I'm teaching online classes too.
Check out the Classes/Editing page for
more info on them. That's all for now.
See you next month!
April 2013
A new month has arrived and with it some good news! I received a new book contract from Decadent Publishing! My latest story, Silent Surrender, will be part of the new Tease line from Decadent. If you've read Her Highland Champion, you've already met the heroine for the new book, Meggie MacDougall. She finds her match in an Irish football coach.
This month, I'm also teaching "Candid Confessions of a Newbie Author." If you've ever wondered what happens between signing the contract and the book hitting the cyber shelves, this is the class for you!
While prepping for my first Tease release, I'm also waiting for a response on a full-length suspense story I submitted. Wish me luck! And finally this month, I'll also be working on two more books I hope to finish by June. Enjoy your spring!
March 2013
Happy March! I've been a bit busy and that's why I haven't been around! Last month, my first PRINT book . Through the Eyes of Darkness, was released, I had a blog tour for Fractured Paradise, and I started teaching 2 online classes.
As for March, which has my 2nd favorite holiday (St. Patrick's Day!), I finished up the online classes, worked on revisions for Carry Me Home and sent 3 new submissions. On March 12th, I have a long blog tour for Simple Treasures. Make plans to stop by sometime! I've also revamped my blog. For details, visit here.
Okay, I'm planning to write the rough draft
of my next Honor Guard story during the rest of the month, so I've got to get to work!
January 2013
Happy New Year! It's been a while since I updated you on my writing life, but here I am!
First, Fractured Paradise, my November Honor Guard story, was nominated as a Best Suspense of 2012 in the LR Cafe! Thank you!
Then, Simple Treasures, my December Honor Guard story, was released to great reviews!
Thank you! I'll be having a blog tour for each one coming up soon. I'll keep you updated!
Now, for the news of the new year....
FIRST, my three Honor Guard UK romantic suspense novellas will be put into one PRINT anthology! The print book is called Through the Eyes of Darkness and I've got the gorgeous cover on the right. Don't you love it? It makes me want to write more stories set in Great Britain!
SECOND, I signed a new contract with Decadent Publishing! The publisher is starting a new series and I was asked to write for it. Last week I received the official contract. Carry Me Home will be a contemporary romance.
If you read Her Highland Champion,
you'll recognize the hero and heroine of this
story. Jamie MacDougall is the pub owner and Mary MacDougall works in the B & B.
Other than that, I'm finishing up another short story to submit this month and I'm gearing up to teach two online classes next month.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!
