I’ve been re-reading The Gathering, book #2 in the Night Breeds Series, in an attempt to get it re-proofed for print and reading my books always leads to me wanting to share so I’ll be starting up my Tuesday Teasers for a while. Today, I have a small scene from the end of the book, when our heroine, Rayna, is faced with the possibility of seeing her friends killed. Excerpt Rayna was led up the stairs behind Carmen to the front of the stage. There, she gazed out at the sea of faces staring back at her. Shouts and disembodied voices yelled her name, the applause rang out over the park and for once, she wished she’d chosen a career path that didn’t allow her to be so visible to the public. When Victor took center stage, Rayna watched him smile, his gnarled fingers wrapped around his cane as he stood and waited for the last of the applause to die. When the people staring up at them were silent, Victor gave her a brief look and the malice in his eyes caused a shiver to race up her spine.“I’m sure I don’t have to introduce this lovely young lady to you but for those who don’t know, this is Rayna Ford.” He turned his body toward her and the shouts once again rang out over the park. “We’ve come today to share with you something that will change the world. Rayna has graciously offered to be the one to enlighten you all.” He turned to face her and held out his hand. “Ms. Ford, if you would be so kind.” Rayna glared at him before turning her attention to the crowd. She watched their eager faces as they stared up at her. So many of them looked familiar. Old acquaintances … Keep Reading! →

This week’s six comes from Book 4 in the Wicked Series,  Sweet Temptation featuring Mick Sheppard, drummer for the band, and his leading lady, Faith Weston. “Put me down and stop calling me Tinker Bell. I told you it was degrading.” “No its not. It suits you perfectly. You’re small enough to fit into my pocket but at the moment, I’d rather you be down the front of my pants.” She glanced down and raised one eyebrow at him. “You aren’t wearing any pants.” “Then you’ll have no problem filling that pretty mouth of yours with my dick.” Okay….I cheated.

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday! Since the release of the Wicked Anthology is coming soon, I’ll be posting some of my favorite lines from the series, one book each week, until release day. This week’s six comes from Book 3 in the Wicked Series,  Jade Butterfly featuring Christian Palmer, Bass player for the band, and his leading lady, professional photographer, Jessi McClure. Her leg slowly slid from his hip and he gathered what little energy he had left to lift his head and look at her. Her face was flushed, her eyelids heavy and drowsy looking. He smiled when she looked up at him. “You know, I just came to ask you to lunch.”  She laughed and the sound vibrated through his chest until his heart constricted. “After that I need food,” she said.

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday! Since the release of the Wicked Anthology is coming soon, I’ll be posting some of my favorite lines from the series, one book each week, until release day. This week’s six comes from Book 2 in the Wicked Series,  Wicked: Leather and Lace featuring Luke Harris, lead guitarist for the band, and his leading lady, Roxy. Roxy has just been caught snooping in Luke’s apartment and what she found is a bit of a shock. “You have a stripper pole in your bedroom.”  “Care to give it a try?” he said, shrugging off his coat and tossing it to the sofa.  “I’m sure there are others more qualified at dancing around poles than I am.”  Luke raised one eyebrow at her, that devilish smirk making an appearance. “I’d much rather have you dance around my pole.”  The look on his face told her he wasn’t talking about that stripper pole.

This week’s six comes from Book 1 in the Wicked Series,  Wicked: Tempt Me Not, featuring Devin Shaw, lead singer for the band, and his leading lady, Holly. In this scene, Devin is contemplating life and Holly’s rapid-fire wit strikes a nerve. “Why does my life suck so bad?”  “Because you’re an asshole and have no manners?”  Devin opened one eye, turning his head to look at her. “You’re not nearly as cute as you think you are.”  “I don’t think I’m cute at all,” Holly grinned. “Just honest.” Wicked: The Seriesby Lily Graison The four men who make up the rock band, Wicked, the hottest act to hit the scene in years, have earned their wicked status without much help.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘Writer Wednesday’ update and with everything I have on my To Do list, my timeline is getting a bit shifted. I now only have two projects planned for the rest of the year. Way back at the first of the year, I had visions of another 5 books (paranormals) being added to my list of releases this year but apparently my head was in the clouds. I can’t get them done even if I wrote every day, all day long, from now til December. It just won’t happen. What I do have is The Wicked Anthology (all 4 Wicked books in one) coming soon in eBook format and print. I also have His Brother’s Wife, a stand alone novel that takes place in our fictional town of Willow Creek. We’ll get to catch up with the character’s we’ve already met and see how life’s been treating them as well.  For you fans of the Willow Creek series, I have plans on at least three more stories based in that little frontier town. There’s a new Doctor coming, new characters who we haven’t met yet and some where down the road, Alexandra Avery is going to grow into a woman, wearing her trousers, spitting, cussing, and still getting into trouble. If all those books yet to be written isn’t enough, there’s also the print books I want to get ready to go and with the convention next year, well, I sort of ‘have’ to have them! I’ll be spending the next several months (and part of 2013) getting all those formatted and then the painstaking task of re-reading all the books to make sure they’re as close to perfect as I can get them. I don’t have a definite release date for the Wicked Anthology or His … Keep Reading! →

Back in July I received an email from a lady who was putting together an Indie Romance Convention who asked if I’d like to take part. I’ve never attended a romance author convention but I’d been to my fair share of sci-fi conventions (DragonCon still being the largest I’ve attended.) I was tickled to be asked and my first instinct was to say yes! Then the fear of failure set in. All those scary ‘what if’ scenarios start playing inside my head, the biggest one being, “What if” no one bothered to approach my signing table? My cellphone doesn’t have games. What will I do for a whole weekend?  I finally pushed that doubt and fear aside and told my Hubby I was going to do it anyway. If nothing else, I would get the opportunity to meet a great list of authors and bloggers so it was win-win anyway I looked at it. I emailed Laurie back and said to sign me up! The list of authors attending is small but that doesn’t mean they aren’t great authors. Many of them are bestsellers and currently hold ranking position on Amazon.Com and other retailers. As this is the first event, everyone is just getting their toes wet, so I know every year will get bigger and better. Below is the list of particpating authors signed up to appear.

Registration is now open for those wishing to attend. They’re also looking for volunteers to help out in a few areas. For all the details, visit the Indie Romance Convention website. If you’re in or around Tennessee, I would love to meet you next year! Head over … Keep Reading! →

After a few setbacks and more hair pulling than I’ve ever managed to do and not go completely bald, THE RANCHER, book 4 in the Willow Creek Series, is finally available! Holden Avery, the man we’ve watched patiently waiting for his lady-love has finally found her and he wastes no time letting her know. Find out how they meet in the excerpt below. The Rancher by Lily GraisonBook 4 in the Willow Creek Series Laurel Montgomery wanted a new life, one that didn’t include a man. She’d had enough of their pretty lies and broken promises but one night of reckless abandon weeks before taking a job as the new schoolteacher in Willow Creek would come back to haunt her. The man she thought to never see again turns out to be the father of one of her new students. A man so handsome and rugged he takes her breath away. Too bad she’s sworn off men forever. If only the stubborn man would take no for an answer.  Holden Avery was love-struck the moment he saw Laurel Montgomery and cursed himself for a fool every waking minute since letting her walk out of his life. When she turns up in Willow Creek he’s handed the second chance he didn’t think he’d ever get but thoughts of pursuing Laurel are cut short when a stranger shows up in town. A man who claims to be Laurel’s husband.  The happily ever after Holden thought to finally have is plagued with obstacles but he sets off to prove he’s the man Laurel wants. Convincing her to give him a chance is nearly impossible but he’s waited too long to find her to give up now. One way or the other, Laurel Montgomery would be his wife.
