Joyful Flashback

Posting at Hollow Tree today about a guilty pleasure I’ve had since the 5th grade. And before you make fun of me for having owned the crystal locket and the moon wand, know that it sparked my interest in many things fantasy and mythological, and for that I am grateful! ;)

Plus, Google Alerts has now informed me that my paperback has made it to ebay. Somehow, I find this to be a sign that I’m closer to ‘making it’. lol Pathetic.

Well Lookie Here

The questions were insightful, fun and original! Thank you so much, Marci! I had a great time.

So check it out, will ya?

BONUS: DHN Deleted Scene #1

Chase and Lexi as I saw them in my head.

Chase and Lexi as I saw them in my head.

For today’s scene from Dark Hollywood Nights, I present the original opener to the story. It was cut for several reasons – one being, pacing. It took far too long to get the action started and it told a lot more than necessary, bogging the reader down with back story. I love the current opening because it’s BAM, right in your face with the characters AND the conflict. But I do miss this scene because it has one of my favorite cameos of the book: Charles and Bridget.

They were still fresh in my mind from writing Cinematic Royalty, and they came off much stronger than my heroine, Lexi. That’s another reason we had to cut them. They were supporting characters now. I couldn’t let them outshine my star! ;) But it’s an amusing scene and I’m happy to share it with all of you.
