This week I’m sharing from my current WIP, the third book in my Supernaturals series. As of right now, this novel doesn’t have a title, release date, or cover. This scene follows my last post. Talia and Dakota are discussing the email Talia just received.

“Okay, look, Talia. I really don’t want to do this,” Dakota said, pulling her chair over to my desk and taking a seat. All amusement left her face, and for the first time, I saw a bit of fear in her eyes. Her tone was also serious, telling me she wasn’t going to budge on her decision. I could say no, but she was going to be upset with me if I did, because she would have to go, and she wasn’t going to be pleasant to anyone for a long time if she did. I didn’t think my not going would destroy our friendship or anything—at least I hoped it wouldn’t—but it would mean she would give me the cold shoulder for weeks, and her cold shoulders burned.
“I know I write about the supernatural and all,” she said after taking a deep breath, “but I’m not ready to meet one of them.”
“But you’re friends with Abby and…” I started confused by her fear. I’d never seen this side of her before…ever. Abby Sullivan and Leigh Hart were human women who’d fallen in love with supernaturals and who’d helped the supernatural world come into the human one.
“I am, and I love them dearly, but she and Leigh are human…and the shifters are different from the weres, or, at least the packs they live with are. They’re mostly humans who can turn into animals. Despite that, I’m not ready to spend more than a few hours on Sullivan territory or in Pine Hollow, let alone live amongst them for a month.”
“What makes you think that I am?”
She just looked at me as if I’d said the stupidest thing she’d ever heard. “You’ve done nothing but talk about them since they came out. You’ve researched them more than any person I know. I see the way you moon over the photos of the men who’ve come out. You want to do this. We both know you do. You’re just too scared to admit it.”
“But you’re the writer not me.” My protest was feeble, and we both knew it.
“You don’t have to do anything more than record their stories, take notes, and maybe photograph a few things. Bring it all home, then I’ll compile it and write the story. Look sweetie, I have another piece that I would really like to work on at this moment. I don’t have time to do the research.”

That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed it.

Outcast, Supernaturals Book 2, a paranormal romance.
Leigh Alexander has lived every day of her life feeling like an outcast amongst her family and the small-minded people of Pine Hollow, a secretive community to which her parents belong. When Danielle, Leigh’s younger sister, asks Leigh to come home for her wedding, Leigh’s torn between wanting to be there for her sister and saving herself from people who’ve despised her all of her life.
Knowing she’ll regret her decision, Leigh gives into her sister and goes home for what she hopes is the last time. Leigh was prepared for people to ignore her, for them to shun her, for them to point out all the ways she didn’t belong all because she wasn’t a size perfect, but what she hadn’t been prepared for was falling for Ryan Hart, a man who she will soon learn knows all of the secrets her family and the town of Pine Hollow refuse to tell her.
Revealing the truth about Pine Hollow and the rest of the supernatural world might be forbidden, but to save Leigh’s life, Ryan will tell her everything about who she is, or more importantly who she isn’t, even if it will forever change her life and the lives of every person in Pine Hollow.
