Murders of cat shifters in her hometown worry Gato Wilfawn. Friends are being killed and she's a shifter herself. A gifted seer, she can't get a handle on who's behind the crimes as her crystal ball has gone curiously murky.
Chordata Shan, known as Cord, a member of the International Shifter Police Corps, arrives in town to try to solve the cases. He enters Gato's shop, The Season of the Witch, to hire her to assist him with her talent as a seer. The spark between them is instantaneous and the fur flies until Cord disappears.

words: Skeleton, purple and fedora.
Jillian will give away a mug for the scariest sentence using these three
words: isolated, apple, and television.

Tainted Keitre" to a couple of random commenters.

Legacy of Lies
Katelynn swore she would never return to the small mining town of Comstock, Utah where she’d grown up. Only bad memories remain there of her estranged father, the gossipy townsfolk, and her teen sweetheart Walt Jeffries who broke her heart. But after receiving a letter from her father, she grudgingly returns only to find he died over a year ago and the past may not be all she’s been told.
Walt Jeffries is trying to bring new business to his dying town when Kate returns. Her digging up the past may risk everything he’s working toward. As Kate determinedly delves into the past, Walt finds himself between a rock and a hard place concerning his feeling for her and his duty to the town. Can the two learn their real legacies, save Walt’s Rottweiler, Festus, and avoid getting killed themselves?
Will the truth set them free to fall in love?

Enchanted Edinburgh
As I glanced around, I could imagine a wizard in the house on the corner, a troll living at that place with the turret and various other magical beings strolling the streets in their capes, robes and pointy-toed shoes. The place lit my writer's heart right up and burned the fires of creativity into my soul.
This story is a little bit fantasy and a little bit magical and a whole lot romantic.
I had no choice but to name this story Enchanted Edinburgh since the place captured my psyche so completely. This story practically wrote itself and I hope readers will enjoy it. Buy link
Blurb:
Working on her doctoral dissertation has been stressful for Jenna Monroe, an American studying at Edinburgh University. She’s writing about the mythological kingdom of Camelot which historians believe was above the City of Edinburgh at a place called Arthur’s Seat near Salisbury Crag. She hikes up to the crag for inspiration, and while resting there, meets a man in a hooded cape.
The man introduces himself as Art, the son of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. A castle appears out of the mist and the man escorts her inside to dine. Believing it to be a vivid dream brought on by too much stress, Jenna shrugs off the encounter. She’s later shocked when she sees the man from her dream in town.

It Only Takes a Minute...to Fall in Love
My latest story is called It Only Takes a Minute..... to Fall in Love. It's the first of three stories with the same characters.
This story is set in Greenwich United Kingdom. The heroine is 48 years old and the hero is 55. I wanted to write a story with an older man and woman since it seems like most romantic heroes and heroines are in their twenties or thirties.
It was a fun one to write since I was able to focus on some things that aren't usually focused on. The heroine has been a widow for a period of time and she hasn't been sexually active in a while. Her body issues are the thing that seems to be holding her back. She can hardly believe this man she meets in the park would want to be with her after all. She's had surgery and is concerned about the scar on her abdomen.
What do you think about older heroes and heroines and the issues they face? Would you want to read a book with older characters?

Antoinette Blake, an American in England on a visit to her adult daughter, takes the “grand-dog” for a walk in the park. While there, she meets a British actor she’s had a crush on forever. She owns all his movies and has fantasized about meeting him.
Adam Knowles is as charming as Antoinette always imagined he’d be and she’s delighted when he asks to spend the afternoon with her. The more she gets to know him, the more she likes him but in the back of her mind is the fact that even though he’s over fifty and she’s in her forties, he has his pick of young actresses to be his companion.
Her insecurities with her body and her age threaten to mar a splendid day. One she’d only dreamt could come true.

SCP AUTHOR FLOSSIE BENTON ROGERS DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?
With
book two of the Wytchfae series about to be released, I’m taking
the opportunity to glance back at the first book in the paranormal
romance series, Wytchfae - Runes. Let’s take a peek at one of the
types of otherworldly beings in the story, and a favorite of
readers—the shade, shadow, specter, spirit, wraith, apparition,
poltergeist, phantasm—fondly known as The Ghost. While many
different kinds of hauntings are on record, a ghost is commonly
considered to be the spirit of a dead person that has not moved on,
but rather stays to interact with the living. Some ghosts are hunky,
some spooky, and some downright dangerous. Here are my favorites.
Among
the hunkiest is the spirit portrayed by Patrick Swayze in the aptly
titled, Ghost. The movie is well done with chemistry between the two
stars, humor in the form of Whoopi Goldberg, and drama provided by
the bad guys and Swayze’s character trying to communicate with and
save his woman. In the end his transition to the light is sad but
cathartic.
Another
cool ghost who is also a main character is the kid in Neil Gaiman‘s
The Graveyard Book. The story is whimsical, endearing, and engaging,
and you really root for the boy.
Topper
is one of my old time favorites, both the movies and the television
show. Dapper, sharp, and cerebral, Topper haunts a ritzy couple and a
floppy eared dog. My writing buddy, 14-year old Basset hound Daisy
Josette, has similar “never miss a nuance” ears.
Bobby
Singer in the television series, Supernatural, takes the cake (or
pie, eh, Dean?) for the most cantankerous but lovable ghost. Intrepid
viewers wanted him to hang around and continue haunting those
Winchester brothers. No one ever gave Sam and Dean good ole “what
for” like Bobby—and lived to tell it.
While
I get a kick out of all the ghosts in Wytchfae - Runes, my heart
belongs to the sexy Viking, Ingvar. He endured beaucoup trouble
during life, including dealing with greedy kings, sorcerers, and a
murdered sister.
A dismal afterlife soon followed and stretched out
over a thousand years. Despite her Celtic heritage and mysterious
witchery, the heroine Kelly is a ray of sunshine to the beleaguered
Viking. Kelly and Ingvar will make a cameo appearance in Wytchfae 3.
WYTCHFAE
– RUNES: Combine one faery witch and one hot Viking ghost and what
do you get? Supernova attraction. Can they evade their enemies long
enough to fan the flame?

Where I Write - M.S. Spencer
I am blessed with two fabulous grown children but only one cat (down from three, plus a dog, a snake and two hamsters). It’s a quiet household now, but since my study window looks on a park and river there is plenty of wildlife to distract me from my writing. Here’s a picture of my view:
This is my study:
As you can see, my work place is exceedingly neat. This is because I stuffed all my junk into the drawers before taking the shot. I use a laptop and although I have wi fi, I work only in the study. It has the best view (see above), plus it’s close to the bathroom. Oh, and that way I can separate work from the rest of the house. Which is kind of silly, since I write constantly throughout the day, stopping now and then to eat or walk or find something, anything, else to do. I love my desk—got it free from a local actors group who’d used it as a prop. It has two leaves that pull out on either side so I can be surrounded on three sides by piles of stuff.
I now have six books published and one on the way. Like many other authors, my first book was written in a series of spiral notebooks. No, wait, I take that back. I wrote my very first novel on my first computer, a Kaypro (anyone remember those?). I hadn’t mastered copying onto a floppy disk yet, so I printed out one copy on those perforated paper sheets in one long, endless stream. And my husband in a cleaning frenzy…threw…it…out. Serves me right for sticking it in a drawer and forgetting about it. Didn’t do that again.
I’d love to hear from you:

Animal Rights at the Rodeo
-->
Meet Rachel Fox, heroine of THE BULL RIDER AND THE
BARE BOYCOTTER. Rachel, an animal rights activist, gets attention for her cause
by running naked in front a bucking bull, while 10,000 angry rodeo fans watch.
Except, now that he’s got Rachel in his bed he’s nervous his annoying, problematic brothers and surly preteen nephew will scare her off. But when Rachel meets Logan’s deeply flawed family she realizes the bulls aren’t the only ones who need saving, the Cooper brothers need her help too. The only problem is Rachel has a secret, after believing she was infertile, it turns out that this sexy bull rider may have changed her childless fate forever.
-->
Rachel’s from Brooklyn, NY, a borough full of
passionate people. When we first
meet her, she’s had a tough year: her mother died, her boyfriend left, and she
learns she’s infertile. To top it
all off, she just lost her job caring for bovines at the Brooklyn Zoo.
Taking advice from her Aunt Bess, an activist from
way back -- “A good, old-fashioned cause always gets a woman’s mind off her
problems” -- Rachel decides to go west.
Having cared for bulls for many years, she’s convinced that bull riding abuses
those
animals. Spurs cut hides, bull ropes chafe and electronic prods damage
nervous systems. She’s on a
mission to improve things for the bulls, and to keep her mind off her troubles.
With her long dark hair, big brown eyes and olive
skin, Rachel looks a lot like Kim Kardashian but with a lot less attitude and a
bigger rear end. While in Brooklyn
Rachel is considered full figured, at the rodeo, she fits in perfectly.
Then Rachel runs naked in front of Logan Cooper’s
bull and she meets her match. Sparks
fly between the handsome cowboy and the bare boycotter, except she’s trying to
shut down the rodeo and he’s not going to let her.
Book
Description:
Animal right activist Rachel Fox is a
woman with a mission. The plan is to step into bull rider Logan Cooper’s ring
wearing nothing but a poster calling the rodeo a ‘blood sport’. While rescuing
this passionate protester from a nineteen hundred pound charging bull Logan
decides he likes what he sees. Only problem, he’s got to direct Rachel’s love
away from the livestock and onto him. With the press hot on their heels,
because who isn’t interested in a story about a bull rider and a naked
protester, Logan brings the dark haired, curvy figured Brooklynite to his
Montana ranch.Except, now that he’s got Rachel in his bed he’s nervous his annoying, problematic brothers and surly preteen nephew will scare her off. But when Rachel meets Logan’s deeply flawed family she realizes the bulls aren’t the only ones who need saving, the Cooper brothers need her help too. The only problem is Rachel has a secret, after believing she was infertile, it turns out that this sexy bull rider may have changed her childless fate forever.
