Are You There, Karma? It's Me, Jane.


Suddenly the crowded stadium goes wild. Something is happening that’s making everyone cheer. My eyes catch on the giant screen across the field from us, the one that’s supposed to show replays of the game. Instead, it was giving us a pornographic rendition of a couple actually making it to second base. The crowd roars.
It’s the Kiss Cam.
The scene cuts to another couple getting closer to home base. The crowd stomps their feet now and I swear the entire stadium shakes. Even the team mascot gets involved and does a perverted little dance next to the couple.
The next shot is a proposal with a ring that blinds half of the crowd, and a cheer deafens the rest of us.
I sit on the edge of my seat watching. It’s porn and romance.
“Oh damn, look at her face, this isn’t going to end well,” a deep voice next to me says.
The guy is right. The woman on the screen’s face turns bright red. She looks somewhere in between appalled and stunned stupid, and a lot like she’s about to vomit. She covers her mouth with her hand and dry heaves. The camera zooms in. The man next to me is loudly talking to his friends. “I think she’s about to throw up, definitely not a good sign. Jesus, I’d hate to be that guy.”
Jeez, he’s totally right. Oh my God, I can’t look anymore. Why are they still zooming in on the poor girl’s face? And how could she say no to him in front of everybody?
The camera zooms in even closer, and I grip onto the armrests of my seat, waiting for the outcome. But my armrest moves and grunts out a slur of swear words that any sensible woman would try not to repeat. Startled, I turn and look at the man whose arm my nails are digging into.
“Oh God, I’m so sor—” I lose all train of thought and normal speech abilities.
He turns his head to face me and does this weird sort of double take and blinks a few times.
Dark hair. Hazel eyes. The bristle of a five o’clock shadow growing in.
I can’t look away.

Pre-order now and find out what happens in Are You There, Karma? It's Me, Jane, when it releases on October 14!

All Nighter

I didn't mean to stay up all night.  But, I was filled with excited nervous energy. 1) Fall From Grace is ranked #379 in all of Amazon Kindle store.  Um, yeah.  Speech-effing-less. 2) I had to keep on writing Book 2 - I'm furiously going in circles with a problem that I can't seem to work through.  I'm afraid I may kill somebody. 3) My husband was playing X-box like a rock concert in my living room. 4) And I needed to get to the end of Gabriel's Inferno.  Good book, by the way if you are looking for a Fifty Shades minus the BDSM, plus classic literature and hot kissing.  But me, I needed to have these characters have SEX!  At the end of the book I'm thinking to myself that Gabriel just needs to restrain her wrists with his freaking little bow ties and just...well, ahem...you know. So I've stayed up all night.  I'm going to need an IV of caffeine today.  And right now my two year old is perched on the arm of my couch with the hint of the devil in her
