Synopsis:
I believe in love at first sight... because
I am a mother. A mother’s love knows no laws, no boundaries, and no remorse for
anyone who interferes with the life of a child.
I have lived a complete lie, holding on to
a secret that could now cost me my daughter. I can’t lose Maddie. I couldn’t
breathe without Maddie. Maddie is my life.
The saying about dying for your child is
the absolute truth. The other things you would do are comparable to that of
death. I know, I did those things. I did unthinkable things, all for Maddie. I
continued the lie, the secrets with the one man who had no right, whom I
despised and wanted dead.
I had no choice. I did it all for her...
for my Maddie.

Excerpt:
I didn’t even notice him. Dana sat him in
my section with his back turned. Him and his girlfriend or whatever she was,
sat side by side and another couple sat across from them. I stupidly walked
right up to the table with my green notepad.
“Can I start you with some drinks?” I asked
as my eyes landed right on Alex’s. Shit.
“Do you have a wine list?” his female
friend asked.
I wanted to laugh at her. This was a camp
ground not a five star restaurant. “We have a house wine,” I offered, pointing
to the Moscato red wine. “We have beer,” I said, catching Maddie, scooting a
chair to the fish aquarium. I turned to see my dad talking to some guests with
his back to her. I looked to see Dana laughing and talking with some other
guests as she rang them out. Somebody needed to pay attention to
Maddie.
“Excuse me,” I said, walking away as I
watched her foot slip from the chair and hit the floor, followed by a loud
shrill.
“Why can’t you listen for once?” I asked,
picking her up. She clung to me and wailed. “You’re not hurt. It just scared
you,” I said, rubbing circles around her back.
“Here, come to Papaw,” my dad said, trying
to take her. She wailed again.
“NO! I want my mommy!” she cried out as I carried
her toward the kitchen away from the spectators and Alex’s scrutinizing eyes
that I was sure was on me.
“That thing has got to go,” I said, turning
to my dad. I was so sick of that stupid fish aquarium it wasn’t even funny.
“Are you hungry? I asked, trying to calm Maddie. “Do you want Jaron to make you
a hot dog?”
“I want ice cream,” she decided, wiping
tears down her face with her little fingers.
“No. No ice cream. How about a grilled
cheese?”
“I want ice cream,” she
howled.
“Take her,” I told my dad. I really did
hope she wanted to go home with him. I needed to get turned up with some
friends my own age.
I was never so happy to see Dianna in all
my life. She was taking Alex and his party’s orders. I was getting the hell out
of there. I walked over to take some empty plates from my last table and offer
dessert.
“How was everything,” I asked as they moved
their arms for me to take their plates.
“Great,” they all replied with the two men
rubbing their full bellies.
“How about dessert? We have an awesome
peanut butter pie tonight,” I offered.
“Yes,” the men stated, deciding they
weren’t as full as they had initially thought. The two women
declined.
“Would you like coffee?” I
asked.
I walked toward the kitchen with a full
arm, not missing the stare from Alex or my daughter sitting at the counter with
a bowl of ice cream. I shook my head at my father. He shrugged as I continued
to the kitchen.
“Can you get table 4 coffee?” I asked Dana
as I placed the delicious looking pies on a tray.
“Sure. I think, we’re kidnapping Maddie for
the night. She got two new movies for her birthday. Papaw promised we would
watch them and make popcorn.”
“You can have her,” I teased, hoping she didn’t
want to come home with me.
I stood at the end of the counter while
Maddie ate her ice cream, smothered in gummy bears.
“I thought I told you no ice cream,” I
said, looking up to see Alex’s eyes boring into me. What the hell? Maddie
needed to hurry so we could get the hell out of there.
“Papaw teld me yes,” she assured me as she
popped a red gummy bear into her mouth. “Dem is hard,” she
giggled.
I smiled at her. She was so silly
sometimes. “That’s because you froze them.”
“Dem will get warm in my belly,” she
assured me. “You have one,” she offered. I opened my mouth and took the candy
from her fingers.
“Yuck, Maddie. That’s gross. That’s like
eating a flavored ice cube.”
“That not a ice cube,” she assured
me.
“Are you coming home with
mommy?”
“No. I watch a movie wif Papaw and Gammy. I
eat popcorn.”
“You need to eat some
supper.”
“My belly full.”
“Yeah, full of ice cream and candy. Are you
done?”
Maddie nodded and slid off the stool. I
swear that kid was fearless. It’s a good thing I was standing right there to
catch her. I was sure she would have been screaming
again.
Author Bio:
I hate author bio’s, so I’m just not gonna
do it. I’m a rebel. I chose to ask my readers what they would like to know
about me and this is what they came up with.
Vikki Ryan—I love that your books have a
dark edge to them, what made you choose to write in that genre rather than
romance.
I have tried to keep it PG, Vikki. I really
have. My mind doesn’t seem to be able to keep it that way and quickly turns
into rated for DG. (Dirty Girls Only.)
Monica Robinson—Oooohhh...What's your
favorite naughty movie?
Well Mrs. Monica, the only one that comes
to mind would be Original Sin with Angelina Jolie.
Danielle Chako—1) what was the first thing
you ever wrote? Any age. Could be a short story, monologue,
article...etc.
2) Do you get inspiration from other
authors and if so who?
The first thing that I ever wrote was for a
Christmas contest in the third grade. I won a very proud blue ribbon for that
gay little story. I try not to read a lot when I am in writing mode. It turns
out to be a disaster because I will change my whole writing style to whatever I
am reading and end up rewriting A LOT. I do love to read, and I have many
inspirations. CJ Roberts is one of my all-time favorites. I guess I like to
read a little on the dark side as well.
Tiffany Abel—who is your favorite book
villain and why? Does this character affect how you write a villain?
Oh, I’m a bad girl, but I have to say Caleb
from Captive in the dark series. I hated and loved him at the same time.
Danielle Chilcott—what was going through
your Mind when you were writing All for Maddie?
Maddie is quite the little character. Some
of the things she said and did came from my own three kids, growing up. It made
me reflect back to the toddler years and feel just a hint of nostalgia. I
wouldn’t want to do it again, but they are so honest at that age.
Katie Cramer—Jettie ...hmmm. What makes u
write the way you do? Personal experience? Desire? Dreams? What’s your
inspiration?
You’re my inspiration Katie Cramer because
you love my books. You ask why I write the way I do, I assume you mean the edge
of my writing. I’m a dirty girl. That’s what I like to read and write. Personal
experience? Hmmm. I did say I would answer truthfully, didn’t I? A lot of what
I have written, like the things that Drew did in Underestimated was from
fantasy and I am sure a lot of what I write comes from experience. You don’t
stay married for 24 years by doing it missionary style. J
AMY NEASE—your books seem to always have a
toy or two of ten. How many toys do you own with batteries?
Oh. Geesh. Good lord. A few.
Kayla Weiner—What do you have to have to
write? (music, food, drink, etc...). What is always on your desk?
Coffee. Definitely a cup of coffee. A far
as music, I am sort of living my second childhood. No. Wait. I haven’t grown up
yet. Anything Pink, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, some rap, Adam Lavine, and
anything with a nice beat.
Kaleigh Knight Jordan— if you had to
choose, which writer would you consider a mentor? And Why?
Hmmmm, that’s tough. I’m going to say CJ
Roberts again because I would LOVE to get in her head, just to see if it’s as
crazy as mine.
Crystal Barr—Where is your favorite place
to write, and do you have a certain time that you prefer to write?
I have a beautiful desk that my husband
bought for me overlooking an amazing view and I sit at my kitchen table,
usually. I have an adjustable bed, so I write in bed a lot too with my hospital
looking table and I write a lot at work as well. I tend to be most inspired
early in the morning for whatever reason.
Candy Simpson—Who inspires you to write?
What keeps you writing?
Hmmmm. I have many inspirers. My mom, my
sister, Author M. Robinson, Crystal at A writers helping hand, Natalie, Alicia,
Amy E, Megan, Julie Kerr, everyone who loves my writing and help me in any way
they can, I guess. I keep writing because I love to write, I eat, sleep and
breathe writing. I’m sure I would do it if everyone hated what I wrote.
Jessi Venture—You said you would answer
anything sooooo. When you are writing you very steamy sex scenes, do you tend
to get a little aroused yourself? I do reading them. I was just wondering if it
has the same effect when you write about.
You’re a dirty girl. Definitely. That is
probably a good thing for my readers. How do I explain this? It’s easier to
talk about my characters. Put it this way. The friskier I feel, the kinkier the
scene will be for you. J
