Teaser for "The Queen"

True love... even in death...

Some people are skeptics. They try to argue that True Love is just a myth... something out of books about Princes and damsel Princesses trapped in towers.  However, true proof of the existence of True Love can be measured in not just the lives of some couples, but in their deaths.

Back in June 2014, our family had to say good-bye to our dear "Papa Bear" Smith. It was a hard thing for us all to say farewell to a man who would give the shirt off his back to help a stranger. But we had a new mission, caring for Grandma Smith.

Grandma had a lot to live for. Four amazing grandchildren, three son's who adored her, sisters and brother, cousins and friends. She was an active part of the community, helping those who could not help themselves and volunteering with the Auxiliary to help our American Veterans. She kept herself busy.

But no matter how much love she had for everyone, it could not fill that gaping hole that was left by loosing her beloved husband. 

Just a little over a year after loosing him, she began to fail in her health.  She put on a brave face for her kids and grandkids. Mentally, she was strong and sharp as a tack. But her body... her heart was broken.

At 6:40pm last night, surrounded by her loved ones, Grandma Smith ran into the arms of Papa Smith... he'd been waiting for her. They entered Heaven together, hand in hand, with smiles on their faces. They hearts, once separated by loss, were filled and whole again.

We who are left behind have a choice. We can allow the loss and pain to tear us apart. Or we can relish in the joy of knowing that two people loved each other so much, they could not live long without one another.

The Queen - Cover Reveal

      Tensions are high. While King Ashmur lies on his deathbed, the evil Lord Cadman coerces Mirstone into declaring war on Grasmere—and they’re not alone in their malevolent intentions. An evil lurks in the land that threatens to destroy anything in its wake.
      While Baylin readies the Kingdom, Luana discovers a secret about her past that makes her question everything she thought she knew about herself.
      All Luana and Baylin wish for is to be safe and happy together. However, constant struggles make it seem as though contentment is impossible. Trials and tribulations strain the delicate core of their relationship.
      Will war finally succeed in tearing the lovers apart? Will Luana and Baylin’s bond be able to withstand the hidden secrets, betrayal and warfare?

So this just happened...

My biggest challenge as a writer has always been finishing a story.  Perhaps it is my love of the characters or wanting to continue to live in the world I have painted for them, I'm not sure. But it has always been my biggest challenge.

Becoming a published author was both exhilarating and absolutely terrifying at the same time because I knew, at some point, I was going to have to face the challenge of saying goodbye to my characters.

Last night, after months of sleepless nights and a ton of antacids while working on "The Queen" (which happens to be the last book in my Bed Wife Chronicles series), I typed the words every author must eventually utter.... The End.

And it felt amazing.
