So Thankful
This is just a post giving thanks and also one of reflection.
I’m so thankful that I got to spend time with my mom before she passed, and also how our family came together. I realize this is the next page in the chapter of life, where elder care and also helping those I love with disabilities will need more focus. I pray that I’m able to do even half of what my mom did.
Maddox and Angel, from the upcoming ebook RUSH Ride or Die. Click the pic for an excerpt. Some of the spin-offs from the RUSH series are turning out to be novellas, while others have been moved up for ebook release. It all started with Somali Bantu refugee Aaliyah and the outlaw biker Aiden:

RUSH – A Different Kind of Love Story
RUSH will be out any day now. I’ve created a few more promos with the title of the book strategically placed as a watermark on the first pix đ
Motorcycle gang member falls for Somali Bantu refugee in the ebook RUSH I’d wanted to write a book that featured a refugee for a while, but the pitfall with a character like Aaliyah is making sure she’s not a Mary Sue.

RUSH Week, the final excerpt
A scene from RUSH:
Scene from RUSH – Aiden and Aaliyah as teens, kissing in a field I need to stress that this is an edited photo. I wanted to duplicate a scene from the book, so I manipulated purchased images to do it.
Aiden DeLucca from the ebook RUSH. Older and wiser, out of jail and out of time. Final Excerpt:
AIDEN
Most days I only went to school when I felt like going. Sometimes I went just to keep warm and to be in the mix with kids closer to my age. The city had built a new high school that could hold two thousand kids. We had security cameras and computers in just about every classroom, but we were still the lowest performing school in the county.
Sometimes Iâd pass a couple of them Somali kids in the hallway, but I could never get ’em to look me in the eye. I wasnât sure if the girl Iâd seen would be in with the ones at my school, but one day I was going up the stairs and a bunch of ’em were coming down, and while the ones in front were chattering away I saw her, the same girl who’d been playing in the snow.

Just for RUSH Week: Another excerpt
I’ve got another excerpt from RUSH:
RUSH – For her love he’ll take a stand 
AIDEN:Â
The very first time I saw Aaliyah it was snowing. I had to go out and shovel in front of the clubhouse because Turk didnât like snow blocking the door. A bunch of women who looked like big ass penguins were running after some kids that were trying to catch snowflakes in their hands and their mouths.

The Tools of Seduction
With February coming up, each week next month I plan on posting a romantic excerpt from both my published and soon to be published novels. The sidebar title will be “The Tools of Seduction” where the main characters have a romantic encounter when the opportunity arises:

Aiden’s RUSH excerpt:
He pulled onto my street, knowing those kids would hear the music and chase after his truck like he was the Pied Piper of ice cream. Dude was really a prick, âcause he always used our dead end to turn around, and each time he never stopped. But not today.

One more “gift” is an excerpt from a section of RUSH:
She made the first move.
I was replacing the spring plate on my bike’s kick stand when the wrench was blown clear outta my hand by a half flattened soccer ball. I got up from a squat, ready to do some serious butt kicking when I saw Aaliyah in the middle of the street.âSorry about that. Can you give us back our ball?â she said, not looking the least bit sorry. I donât know where her father was, but she sure wasnât wearing a headscarf or a long skirt. It seemed like she’d borrowed a pair of her brotherâs shorts.
