And away we goooooooo!

I am so excited to be able to say that I have TWO, yes TWO free reads available at Smashwords.com that you can download.  I know that the PDF format is okay but I am not sure about the others so let me know.

The first super short story is called Lord of Requited Love.  It is the tale of Dain and Tara's very first lifetime.  It is heartbreakingly tragic and I love it.  I am such a huge fan of Dain.

The second super short story is called The Life That Ends.  This story takes place from Tara/Bonnie's POV in the lifetime just before The Reborn takes place.  I will confess, my feelings for Tara/Bonnie are interesting; I don't like her.  I think Dain can do so much better.  I have someone in mind and you guys will meet her in The Reborn and the mystery woman will have her own story in The Remade.  You will see why, although they are so perfect for one another, they just will never get together.  But before all that you HAVE to read these two super shorts and the best part they are absolutely FREE!!!!!!

Now, what are you waiting for?  Head over to Smashwords and download my "New Adult " (something like YA but with a bit more naughty bits) super short prequels:

The Lord of Requited Love: A Reborn Story
The Life That Ends: A Reborn Story

Another Reborn short story...

This novel is spawning more Shorts even though its not done yet. Sheesh. I write out the back story so I can have it while I am writing the complete story and they take on a life of their own. I think they are important because the two prequel stories I wrote are the very first life Dain and Tara lived and then the ill-fated 99th lifetime. (If you followed Reborn on Textnovel.com The Life That Ends is the chapter formally known as TWO. In the editing process it got cut out.) SO here it is. You saw the "fake" cover I did for Lord of Requited Love...here is The Life That Ends' "fake" cover. [Copyright reasons had to remove picture.]


Like I said, The Life That Ends isn't "Brand spanking new" but Lord of Requited Love is and its in the process of being edited and a new more YA cover being worked on. It's hard because now tha Dain is blonde I have to find new pictures. But Tara will stay the same. Here is the would be covers if Dain stayed brunette!
All pictures belong to artist Elizabeth May
My Favorite one!

I have been busy procrastinating.

Are yall ready to meet Mayne and Eric?  Well, ready or not here they are.
As you can see instead of writing I have been spending HOURS clicking through stock photos instead of working on my prose.  But I am happy with the couple I found.  I am not the best at photoshop so it looks a bit janky but I did it myself...Yay.  Now, here is a excerpt from my still unpolished WIP: Death Knows My Name.  I decided to give yall a bit of the steamy because these two are all about the hot!  Enjoy!

Good we were finally alone. I thought.


Eric nodded in agreement. “My thoughts exactly.”

“I know.” I said as I grinned up at him. The look in his eyes took my breath away.

“Mayne, I want you so badly right now.” He whispered in my ear. His voice was low and seductive.

I looked around to see if anyone was around us. “How badly?” I asked as I licked my dry lips. I was so aroused even still from earlier I didn’t care if we were in a packed bar or that my friends were mere feet away playing pool. All I cared about was getting relief from the heady, lust filled pressure that was building inside me.

Eric pulled me onto his lap and I felt his hardness against me and a shiver of anticipation ran down my spine until it settled lower inside of me. His warm hand caressed up my thigh and under my skirt. I found myself parting my legs for him and I held my breath as I felt his thumb stroke my core through the cloth of my panties. After a few exquisite touches from him my panties were now wet from my arousal and he slipped a finger beneath the soaking fabric and curved around them in a hook pulling them aside. Now there was nothing between him and his long strong pleasure giving fingers. Finally I would feel his touch after being interrupted earlier and if I didn’t feel him soon I would combust and I knew it.

Non-Writing Related: The day I lost immortality. Valentine's Day tribute to Andy.

When I was, 13 years old I felt untouchable like nothing bad could possibly touch me. I was carefree and full of life. That was before my 14 birthday, 14 years ago today. 2 boys Andrew Michael Westbay and Scott Hawrysiak were shot and killed a few houses away from their own houses. That birthday changed my life. Andy was a friend of mine okay I had a huge crush on him.




I first met Andy when my teacher pulled him into class when she heard him and a former classmate, Jason, goofing around in the hall. I was in love instantly. Then it turns out we were in the same gym class with coach Dixon. Luck was on my side, Coach decided to have a sitting arrangement by last name. Hello Westbay and Williams were next to each other and I sat literally beside him. Cue Casse turning on the charm...



For the short time I knew Andy he was a large part of my life. I remember all of the times we shared with each other because it is all I have left. I remember the last time I saw him and if only I knew, it was the last it wouldn't be so bitter sweet. On the other hand, maybe that would have been worse.



We were at a school Valentine's Day dance. Our school had them during the school day and it was actually the day before because we were going to have a long weekend. I had gotten in trouble and had to sit on the bench the last 10 mins of the dance so Andy and I never did get to dance. He did stop by often within that 10 mins to chat, he told me happy birthday and gave me that smile he had that made the sun shine, because we wouldn't be at school on Valentine's day so he wouldn't see me. It breaks my heart that we never got our Happily-ever-after; we got a Nicholas Sparks ending. Maybe God is a fan.



With Andy and my crush on him I felt untouchable. At that age, you never think about or should have to think about death. My classmates and I had that innocence and our immortality stolen when we were made victims. Scott and Andy were stolen from their families, friends and peers so please say a prayer for their families because I know they will be at Evergreen cemetery right now and Andy's Uncle Michael will have Andy's Mcdonalds nuggets for him.



Happy Valentine's day to you all, as well as The Hawrysiak and Westbay family.

Dastardly Dain


Here is the first 8 sentences of my Reborn short story. It's a prequel and it is the lifetime that started it all.  This isn't exactly the cover I am going with but it is lovely right?

Lord of Requited Love- Casse NaRome
“She is exasperating!” I fumed in my chambers to Christopher.
“Why do you even let her get to you my Lord?” He questioned me as he always did when he considered me unreasonable.
I shot him a glare.
“Sorry I mean, Dain.” The young gentleman amended knowing I hated titles among us. We were more friends than anything else.

That's all you get!
