Please welcome Jaye Shields to my blog:    An Obsession with Flying   Hey there, I’m Jaye Shields. My latest book in the Immortals in Alameda series, Secrets of the Sky , is centered around one of my favorite characters, Sparrow Reed. If you don’t know already (and haven’t read Secrets of the Fog ) Sparrow has a back full of tattoos. Each tattoo is of a bird because her family (a coven of wiccans) gifted her with an enchantment when she was born with the ability to take the form of any bird tattoo she accrues. Her very first came upon her birth, a magical marking of a Sparrow, which was how she got her name.  Sparrow loves to fly and so do I. I thought I’d share a little bit of what we have in common. Well, first of all, I’ll admit that as of this moment, I have zero tattoos. It’s just never worked out. What we do have in common, is that I spend hours flying. I cut through the clouds and smile down upon bright blue lakes and snow-capped mounta...

I don't tend to think of my heroes as being heartbreakers , but Marco Santo from Mafia Secret probably falls under that cate gory. Though he doesn 't intend to break the heroine's heart - his actions very much devastate her. As with many heart breakers, he then does some suitable groveling as well as proving his devotion to win her back.  Lessa Noelle grew up never knowing she was the illegitimate daughter of a mafia king pin. After his murder, she finds herself a surprise heiress immersed in the dangerous world of organized crime with only the guidance of Marco Santo her father’s second in command to help her. Marco searches for her father’s killer and tries to keep the realities of his life from touching her. An uneasy attraction blossoms between the two. An already dangerous situation turns volatile when a killer turns his attention to Lessa.     I'm giving away a $5 Amazon giftcard and an ecopy of Mafia Secret to one lucky winner. This is an in...

I always find the beginning of a new year kinda funny. As a mom, I tend to focus more on September as being the start of a new year. That's when our new schedule grabs hold and the rest of my year is mapped out. But you can't help but look over the previous calendar year when New Years comes along. Not with everyone talking about it. I don't do resolutions. Mostly because I don't keep them. Goals are better for me, but even with goals I tend to have this anti-goal thing going inside me. I start to feel constrained and start doing whatever I can to not achieve the goal. Yet, I was very goal oriented in my youth. I competed heavily in horses in my teens and I loved TRAINING toward a show (the goal being to do well at the show). Wasn't thrilled with the actual showing, but I thrived under the training structure. It's more about the journey for me. So in looking at your resolutions and goals check out the journey portion of achieving them and make sure it's s...

Wow, it's hard to believe it's been one year since The Wild Rose Press released my first novella The Beast's Redemption (actually, about a year and one month :-)). Alexander Leandre's voice was so strong when I set out to write a fairy tell adaptation that even though I had originally planned on retelling a less famous fairy tale I ended up doing Beauty and the Beast. The Beast was very insistent that his story be told. To celebrate the one year anniversary I'm going to give away a pdf copy of The Beast's Redemption to one lucky winner. Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter (this giveaway is international).
