Blog postThe saying about making plans…yeah, that really got me last year. I’d planned to publish at least two more books—a sequel to Her Sweet Alpha and another Bioexpa book.
And then we moved at the end of summer. Moving is stressful. I don’t recommend it. In our case, it seemed everything was destined to go wrong. The truck we’d rented was suddenly unavailable. My brother, who was the only person to volunteer to help us move, came down with Covid. At the time, I’d jokingly said, “Why does e -
Blog postPhew! Edits of Dark are done. We're looking at a possible publication date of July 16. If you're thinking, "But that's Friday!" then you're not alone. Here's the teaser that will appear on the Evernight website:
“You called, Veracity.”
She whirled around in time to see Dark materialize from shadows in a far corner of her bedroom. She grabbed her chest. “You couldn’t appear in front of me?”
He arched one dark eyebrow. “You called me. Why are -
Blog postWhen I said “sort of,” I really meant it. The very next day I went back and added an epilogue. Next day, same thing. I just kept feeling like the story wasn’t done. Hopefully, I’ve covered all the bases now. I was happy with the conclusion.
I’ve spent the week reading through it and looking for mistakes. I finally finished today and submitted it to Evernight Publishing. While I’m waiting for them to get back to me, I’ll going to go back to work on Rick and Missy’s story.
Well, -
Blog postI’ve officially “sort of” finished with Dark’s story. I’m at the end, but not quite sure if I’m finished. I’m going to step away from it for a few days before doing a read through it. If inspiration strikes, I can add to it. There’s always something more, but for the most part, I think I’m done.
From here, I want to work on Missy and Rick’s story and another Bioexpa story. Time passes so quickly. It’s been forever since there’s been a Bioexpa story. I’m really looking forward to worki -
Blog postIt’s been an unusual year. That’s putting it mildly. I hope all of you have kept happy and well. I popped in to drop a few announcements.
If you haven’t read it, Her Sweet Alphais a Kindle Deal this month and is available for 99 cents. Ideas for a sequel kept poking at me and I’ve worked on a few chapters. It features Halle’s cousin Missy and Rick, the mechanic who fixes Halle’s car.
My main concentration has been Dark’s story, the final book in the series that began with Whim -
Blog postHis Fantasy is available for pre-order on Amazon. Kendal Washington is a romance writer who is perfectly happy being alone. But that doesn't mean she doesn't fantasize about steamy nights filled with passion. Ciaran is a boy from her past. In high school, he was her bully. Now, he claims that it was all a misunderstanding. Yeah, right.
Ciaran Gregson wanted Kendal from the moment he saw her, but his family stood in his way. Now, he's an adult and he'll allow nothi -
Blog postI’m going to let you in on a secret: I’m terrible at updating social media. I have two Facebook accounts. There’s the Thayer King one and then there’s the personal one for family, friends, and games. I update the personal account about once a year. Last year I posted two photos of my dog so that should cover this year’s posts as well.
I say all this in hopes that you’ll understand why it’s March and I haven’t updated…well, anywhere. I really appreciate your patience. Thank you to all of y -
Blog postWhen I said that Chatting with a Vampire would be out in October, I did not mean this late. My intention was to have it out at the beginning of the month or mid-October at the latest.
Chatting with a Vampire was originally published in the Just Vamps anthology and was very short. I wanted to lengthen it before republishing it. I had difficulty pulling myself away from another book I was working on and, as usual, life likes to throw up its roadblocks.
Anyway, it’s short -
Blog postI’d like to thank everyone who bought Her Sweet Alpha. I’ve been very pleased with its reception. It’s the first shifter book I’ve written and I wasn’t sure if it was something readers would embrace.
I do read reviews in the first week or so following a release. I can’t help myself. I want to know what people think. And I appreciate that someone took time out of their day to share their thoughts.
Sometimes this is a good thing. I want to know what readers enjoyed because it lets me k -
Blog postHer Sweet Alpha is due out Friday. It's available for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Here's a short and sweet sample. Enjoy!
Halle watched in a frozen stupor as Dade closed and locked the door behind himself. “You’re letting out all the heat,” he explained. She stumbled back a step for every one he took forward. “We need to talk,” he said. “But first, I guess I should educate you on a few things.”
He ran a broad hand through -
Blog postAlpha werewolf Dade Stone is closing in on his thirtieth birthday. He's in dire need of his true mate. And then he finds her--only she's human. Dade has never been with a human. He's too big and too scary. His animal side wants to claim his mate now, but he knows she needs time to adjust to the idea of becoming his mate.
Halle Fielding is working as a waitress when a large stranger claims she's his mate and that she's going to marry him and give birth to his pups. Pups! He actually said pu -
Blog postI just finished writing Her Sweet Alpha this morning! It’s the werewolf story that I’d initially planned to finish before Aryanna & Dexter. There are still some steps to go, but the plan is to have the book out before the month is over. I’ll announce a date soon.
I always feel at loose ends when I finish writing a book or reading a book. My mind asks: What’s next?
I plan to republish Chatting with a Vampire by October. It was a short story published in the Just Vamp -
Blog postThe sound of tinny wedding chimes stopped him cold. Dexter stiffened and turned. It was a damned Bioexpa drone. He’d heard it a few times around the office when others had gotten married. He hated that damned company with a passion. Whenever they sent their drones into his office, productivity dropped. The person matched became useless for the rest of the day. Likewise, with those coworkers in close proximity. They sat around gabbing and giggling. Essentially doing nothing. It was disgusting.

Blog postI know, I know. This excerpt is so late. But if you haven't read Aryanna & Dexter, this is new to you. And if you did read it, it's a nice flashback. Enjoy!
“I think that both you and I know that Dexter & Brent has little use for the services of Woodside Consulting.”
Aryanna wasn’t terribly surprised by Dexter’s statement, but she was confused. She stared down at the plate of pasta he had prepared. It was delicious. It tasted as -
Blog postWell, I’d say it was way past time for a 2019 update. I’ll tell you a secret: I’m really good at starting a story. Getting me to finish it is the challenge. I begin full of excitement, but that euphoric buzz wanes as I get to work nailing down the details. At that point, I have to push myself to focus. That’s why my Works in Progress Tab always has multiple listings.
Because it’s closest to being complete, I decided to concentrate on finishing my werewolf story. I love a werew -
Blog postHappy Friday! Rather than making everyone wait a week for pre-order, I decided to publish Aryanna & Dexter right away. It's available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Enjoy!

Blog postIf you were disappointed that I didn’t have a release earlier in the year, you weren’t the only one. Aside from difficulties with the home, I had to deal with an old/new addiction to Supernatural. I watched it years ago and lost track of it for some reason. While we were in a hotel during the snow storm earlier this year, I started watching reruns. It’s scary. It’s funny. And, really, who could resist the combination of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki? (I might be slightly obsessed with Jensen

Blog postI was checking the blog of an author whose books I’ve purchased in the past. I noticed that she hadn’t updated her blog in a couple of years and she hasn’t published in over a year. I was wondering what was going on and if she’d quit writing. Then, I realized that I hadn’t updated my blog in a while either.
I am still writing. I was certainly hoping to have something done by now. Instead, I’m only half finished. I’m working on my first werewolf book and another Bioexpa book while ot -
Blog postUsually when I’m listing excuses at the beginning of the year as to why I have not been writing as diligently as I should, it’s usually holiday and occasion related. Boy, do I miss those minor reasons.
Last year, my husband and I decided to buy a house. We now often wonder why. We liked our apartment. Management was excellent. Whenever something needed to be fixed, they handled it right away.
Moving was stressful, but we have more room than before. And having a home meant I could ge -
Blog postStill on the fence about about Chaldor? How about another excerpt?
“Would you like more of the soup?” Kiana asked him.
He shook his head, not wanting to inconvenience her any more than was necessary. As a pet, he did not have his own plate. Kiana fed him from hers. He should feel like a child. He certainly had objected to her feeding him when he was unwell. Somehow, having her feeding him now was entirely different. He definitely did not -
Blog postAs Chaldor is coming out this week, it's time for an excerpt. Enjoy!
Chaldor did not know if he could trust this slip of a girl acting as his caretaker, but at the moment, he had no other choice. He was too weak from his injuries and lack of nourishment to attempt to leave this bedroom. She seemed honest, but one could never be sure.
He wished he could remember what had happened, but could recall little after arriving to visit his parent -
Blog postAs the illegitimate daughter to the queen of Colony 15 Kiana has no interest in power or politics, yet she’s horrified by her mother’s cruelty. When her mother orders an injured warrior from another colony to be thrown out with the trash, Kiana implores her for the opportunity to heal him. Kiana does everything she can to save him—including pretending to take him as a lover.
Chaldor wakes up in the arms of a dark chocolate angel with addictive kisses. He’s willing to play the part of her -
Blog postI promised so here it is. This is the second epilogue from The Deal. If you haven't read The Deal, I wouldn't recommend reading the following.
Slightly less than one year later . . .
Gabriel slid into the booth across from his wife. She reached across the table for him and he took her slender hands in his. Raising their linked fingers to his mouth, he kissed each of her digits in turn. “Happy anniversary, baby.” Her delighted smile brightened the ent -
Blog postThe Deal is back up and available for purchase at Amazon for 99 cents. It will be available at Barnes & Noble also. It's just taking them a bit longer to post it. Keep an eye out. It should pop up today or tomorrow.

Blog postI finished Chaldor! It’s been accepted by Evernight Publishing. I don’t have a publication date yet as we haven’t begun edits. I’ll post more information such as the blurb and excerpts soon.
Instead of starting something new, I thought I’d tackle The Deal and get it back up. After reading it again with the intention to make edits, I realized that I wasn’t making drastic changes. I’ve really thought about this book way too much when I’ve got other ideas swirling and dying in my head.
