Out Now! New contemporary romance ebook by Lily Graison… Wicked: Jade ButterflyChristian Palmer, bass player for the band Wicked, isn’t your typical rocker. Much to his band mate’s amusement, he’s quiet, shy and looks like your average boy next door–but that’s all about to change. An encounter with a girl he can’t seem to forget calls for drastic measures and with the help of his friends, Christian goes from dud to stud in hopes to wow the girl of his dreams. Jessi McClure has led a fairytale life. She has a job she loves, friends she can count on and couldn’t want for anything else. Until she meets, and photographs, an unlikely rock star. Running into him again was just dumb luck, but when their paths keep crossing, she can’t help but notice the change this shy, gorgeous guy has taken on and is drawn to him even more. When fate keeps stepping in and hands you something you didn’t realize you wanted, do you throw the chance away or hold on with both hands? Will Jessi get more than she bargained for when the man she thought she knew turns out to be so much more? And can Christian hold on to the girl of his dreams when a misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart?

Watching the local news broadcast tonight, they did a segment on outdated laws here in North Carolina and I couldn’t leave it at that! I looked them up online and found tons of old laws still on the books for every state. I spent an hour going through them all and thought I’d share a few with you. Outdated Laws in North Carolina:– It’s against the law to sing off key.– Elephants may not be used to plow cotton fields.– While having sex, you must stay in the missionary position and have the shades pulled.– If a man and a woman who aren’t married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married. In South Carolina:– By law, if a man promises to marry an unmarried woman, the marriage must take place.– No work may be done on Sunday.– An exception to the above law is that light bulbs may be sold.– Horses may not be kept in bathtubs.– It is perfectly legal to beat your wife on the courthouse steps on Sundays. In Tennessee:– You can’t shoot any game other that whales from a moving automobile.– It is legal to gather and consume road-kill.– Illegal for a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of it waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians.(In Memphis only) In Texas:– It is illegal to milk another person’s cow.– The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.– Obnoxious odors may not be emitted while in an elevator. In California:– Women may not drive in a house coat.– You are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two … Keep Reading! →

I was just looking at my websites stats and was surprised to see how many people have been googling me. Its not that I was googled that caused the shock, its what the key words were: lily graison stories for free…wicked series free…tempt me not free…the list goes on. I find it odd that people would want something that costs so little for free. The Wicked series books cost $2.99 each. That’s less than what it costs you to eat lunch at McDonalds. The long-standing debate of eBook piracy will likely never come to an end and I, like many authors, have no solution for the problem. I’m sure I don’t need to explain what I’m talking about but in case someone out there doesn’t know, I’ll spell it out for you. If you take an ebook, one you’ve purchased or received from a friend, and redistribute that book to another person through email, files sharing systems/website or make printed copies to hand out, you have violated copyright laws. EBooks don’t hold the same rights as a print book you’ve purchased does. It’s not a tangible thing so, in essence, you don’t own it. You aren’t allowed to give it away or let a friend borrow it. The best way I can think of to explain it is like this: When you buy a paperback book, read it and loved it, you can share it with a friend. You hand them the ONE book you have in your hand and send it on its way. When you buy an eBook and pass it along to that same friend, you’ve sent them one COPY because you still have the original copy you bought…then your friend sends it to her friend, so there’s another copy because you and your friend still have … Keep Reading! →

I love summer time in the south. There’s nothing better than the smell of fresh-cut grass, barbeque grills filling the air with the scent of charcoal and burgers, the sun shining brightly while lounging in the pool and the nights, when the sun goes down and the tree frogs start singing and the lightening bugs spark the yard with a mini-light show. If I could have one wish, it would be to have summer all year long. That is until a summer storm rolls through. Especially if it’s like the one we had last night. I hadn’t even noticed it was raining last night until a huge boom of thunder shook the house and a flash of light so bright it lit up my living room, nearly caused me to pee my pants. When I looked up, I saw fireworks outside my window. Lightening had struck a power-pole in front of my house. It snapped the line, which fell across the road and started a fire in my neighbor’s front yard. I called 911 and we waited, while watching cars fly down the road, only to slam on their breaks when they saw the downed lines and skid to a slippery stop. My 4-year-old grandson was here and to say he was excited when a fire truck pulled up in front of the house fifteen minutes later would be an understatement. He was thrilled and kept pointing and jabbering away. The power company finally arrived half an hour later and we sat in total darkness for 2 hours while they restored the lines. The freakish storm blew over as they worked and by the time they left, stars numbering in the hundreds hovered above the house. Tonight, its perfect. The sky is clear, the air is warm and I can … Keep Reading! →
