Wow!
I got a huge response for a Beta reader. Either you guys are tired of reading all the errors in my books or you really do love me! LOL! Thank you so much! Tonight I finished the revisions for the installment to The Heist and sent it to the publisher. So finally I can sit down and respond to each of you directly. Please give me a day or two to answer your emails. I’m in the process of pealing myself off the sofa to get ready for the end of my vacation.

Love you guys!

Hello lovelies!
I thought I’d come to you lovely ladies for assistance. I’ve got some great critique partners and editors to work on my published work for 2012. It still pains me that some of my material reaches your e-reader with grammatical and formatting errors. This is one of my top goals for 2012. To improve the quality of my product.

With that being said, I also have many free reads that are sitting and collecting dust. I’ve received some requests to finish Sour Grapes and Temptation and post them here. I would be happy to do so but I can’t edit these stories and work on my other projects. My editors will be swamped in 2012 with cleaning up and editing existing and new works.

So here’s my idea. Are you good with grammar? Do you have some free time on your hand? Would you like to beta read the free stories The Divas Pen? If you are interested drop me a line. I’d love to work with you.

I am so excited. This morning I reviewed over a 100 shots for the Battaglia Mafia Series. Jimmy Thomas and Chelsea did such a marvelous job in this photo-shoot I can’t tell you how they’ve inspired me. I can’t share all the images with you. But I can’t not show you some of the sexy hawtness to come. So I’ve decided to give you another sneak peek.

For those of you still confused by the Battaglia Mafia Series (and what’s to come) let me again share the news. In 2006 when i started writing I did so for free. I owned a fanfiction archive and created a series called the Battaglia Mafia Series. It’s where my core readership comes from. Over the next three years I wrote a mafia saga and to be honest the story got away from me. Fans started downloading the series and making their own books to read. It really became a world of it’s own.

The story takes place in southern Italy and Sciliy. It follows the life of a fashion designer who meets, falls in love and marries one of the most ruthless mafia Don’s in Italy. And it’s not an easy romance. Most of you know I write drama. God knows I wish I could tone some of it down for you, but it’s just who I am as an author. The Battaglia Mafia Series is drama personified! And Don Giovanni Battaglia makes Aiden Keane, Lee Sullivan, Alec Cavanuagh look like choir boys. He loves his family but he will do and be who he needs to be to maintain control of his empire. Not for the faint of heart, and definitely a soap saga that will keep you rooting for and hating characters as they come and go. I just can’t wait to bring the entire series to life for you.

Yes it’s all of the above. The series is actually nine books long. I have a lot of work to do to get this ready for release. It will test me as a writer and you as a reader. LOL! I’ve decided to release the first three books together. It’s just that epic and I think it’s going to be much more satisfying for you to have access to all three books. That being said, this is why the model search was on. The fans of Battaglia (I know who you are) have made it clear what they expect of the characterization, representation, and story revisions. I plan to live up to all their expectations. And you will love it! I promise!
