YOU Can Help! My Kindle Vella serial needs support.
Here's an excerpt from Episode 3:
Vanessa’s fingers traced absently over Jada’s face on the missing person’s flyer as she listened to Chaz recap what he’d uncovered. Much of it was what Marcy had stated. The new piece was that several missing young women had been reported as visiting the same area mall within a few days of their disappearances. The FBI’s task force included an OHP officer who was friends with Chaz, and he’d stated that the investigation was focusing on locating the network of criminals above recovering the abductees. Vanessa understood what that meant: the unofficial law enforcement belief was that the females weren’t recoverable, that they’d probably been moved out of the area soon after disappearing, and the best priority was tracking down the human traffickers and putting an end to their operation. Preventing future abductions was more important than rescuing those who’d already been taken. Concurrent with the task force’s objectives, each local police jurisdiction was expected to purse the individual missing person’s cases according to their protocols and elevate any new information to the FBI for determination of its usefulness.
In other words, Cincinnati police would continue to hold the primary responsibility for locating Jada and the task force—FBI, Ohio BCI, Ohio Highway Patrol, and assigned police department personnel—would try to cripple the higher-level criminals responsible. That wasn’t good enough. They needed to find Jada, and they needed to do it quickly. Her wellbeing wasn’t simply incidental to the larger investigation. Marcy needed her only child back. And Vanessa needed to do whatever it took to help that happen.
“I want to go undercover,” came out of her mouth without a second thought.
“And do what?” Steve asked with narrow eyes.
“Under who?” Chaz asked at the same time.
“I don’t know,” she snapped. “But I can’t sit back and do nothing while the task force focuses on everything but bringing home Jada and any other missing girls!” She stood and leaned her balled fists on the table. “I need to do this and you both know I’m good undercover. We know this racist-ass city, like the majority of white-run metropolises in this nation, isn’t going to put a ton of resources into locating one Black female out of the many who’ve gone missing in the past few years.”
“And we’ll help you,” Chaz declared calmly.

Suspense and Sex Coming to KINDLE VELLA!
Have you joined the fun in reading stories released one episode at a time? Kindle Vella is a great way to test drive a story, meet new authors, and look forward to what's next with characters you can grow to love. Episodes are perfect for people who like to read during their lunch breaks or to wrap up the day but who don't have a lot of time. The stopping point is already decided for you.
In a couple of weeks, I'll be releasing my first Kindle Vella project. Get ready for suspense, romance, office conflicts, and personal growth from characters you met in the Dream Catcher Series. FBI Special Agents Vanessa Long and Steve McDaniels will finally get their love story! But can they make a relationship work when they have different work personas and personal goals?
Blurb:
Love dominates when two strong-willed FBI agents face power struggles on the job. Feeling undermined and diminished by racism and sexism, Vanessa needs the support of her man more than ever. Steve's legendary loyalty to the FBI conflicts with a consuming need to protect and encourage the woman who holds his heart. Can they commit to each other, focus on the growing human trafficking crisis in their state, and survive the clashes between personal goals, bureaucracy, and office politics?
Are You Ready for a New Series?

Getting Back on Track
Yeah, I've been missing in action for quite a while. Life and a few health issues got in the way. But, I'm back and hopefully ready to write.
To get started, I'm doing NaNoWriMo again. If you've never heard of that, it's National Novel Writing Month. The challenge is to write a 50,000-word novel during the 30 days of November. This book is going to be written under my erotica pen name, so unfortunately that's not exciting news for fans of my contemporary romances. The great thing though, is that I'm writing again and do have plans to release books under both author names in 2020.
Well, wish me luck. Drop me a message at btromancewriter@gmail.com or on Facebook if you have a minute. Take care and thank you for remaining my loyal readers! I love each of you.

SNEAK PEEK at Kendra's Conflict

I Won NaNoWriMo!
#NaNoWriMo2018 is officially over. This was my first year participating and I exceeded my personal expectations in addition to exceeding the contest goals. However, the book is nowhere close to being finished! Kendra's Conflict will be a duet at the very least. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that because a book has never flowed quite like this one. I optimistically anticipate being able to release both books within the first half of 2019. While this is very much a love story, it's also quite erotic, so will it be released under my name or my pen name? We'll have to wait and see. Stay tuned ...

My Newest Novella
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JNBYV4K.
Here's the blurb:
Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Looking Forward ...
I'd like to start off by apologizing for being away from this page for so long. Life issues simply got in the way of my being able to write, promote, and stay on top of all of the related requirements. But, I'm happy to say that those issues are resolving themselves and I'm getting back into the literary swing.
I'm working on two new projects! Although I can't give any details at this point, it really brings me joy to let you know that you can expect my next romance novel in early 2019. Stay tuned!

FREE for Mother's Day Weekend
In Honor of Mother's Day ... these two novellas will be FREE on Saturday and Sunday (May 13th and 14th). Be sure to get your copy!
As It Should Be (blurb)
When Jacqueline walked out of the apartment she shared with Michael, it was because she was ready for a family and he wasn’t. Neither of them knew she was pregnant, but it wouldn’t have made a difference to her. Michael had made it clear that he wasn’t going to put anything or anyone ahead of building his real estate business.
Now, three years later, she’s back at the front door with twins and asking a favor. Marquia and Michael Jr. are the spitting image of their father—and they need him.
Will he help them? Can Jacqui afford the price he’s going to demand? Will everything work out the way it should? Or will she leave once again broken-hearted?
A Home for Her Heart (blurb)
Trey had been watching Regina for a long time, and he wanted her with every passing day that they worked together. But he’d also seen the tell-tale signs that something was off about her relationship with the boyfriend who often picked her up from work or visited in the office. The man was possessive, but not in a good way. There was abuse, of that Trey was certain.
When Gina didn’t show up for work, Trey knew something was wrong. He got her address from the personnel file and arrived at her house to find her battered and bruised and distraught. Michael, her abusive live-in boyfriend, had beaten her and taken their child.
Getting the baby back was only the first step to rescuing Gina from an abusive relationship. Convincing her that she was lovely and loveable would take slightly more effort. But Trey was convinced that he could do it—after all he was in love with her and willing to try anything to make her happy.
Follow this couple as they deal with her demons, her ex-boyfriend, and a growing love that was bound to transform both of their lives.
