Friday. Holly’s tension mounted as Catherine parked the car outside Tj’s. Cath-erine had refused to let Holly go alone. There were already several bikes out front on the sidewalk near the door and Holly wondered if Maddox was already here. About that time, she watched the man in question step outside with a pool stick and set it aside as he reached into his jacke...

Holly slipped into Catherine’s hoping she wouldn’t run into her friend. Catching her bottom lip between her teeth, her hand on the door as she kept it from making a heavy thud as she closed it. Sadly, Holly had perfected sneaking in and out of places when she was a teenager. Her biggest fear growing up had been running into her father, when he’d left it had been he...

Maddox stood over Jeremy’s grave. Loving brother, son, and friend gracing the granite headstone beneath Jeremy William Montgomery 1977-2001. Maddox closed his gray eyes. “That bitch is mine, Jeremy. She’ll be cursing the day she met any Montgom-ery. I know this isn’t what you’d want. You loved this Holly Ashburn and I fucking hate her for what she did to you. B...

Maddox snapped the phone shut and tossed it onto his desk. Drawing a long slow breath hoping to get his blood pressure and anger under control, he pushed out the chair heading into the cabin. Pausing slightly in the doorway, he could hear movement coming from the direction of the laundry room. “Nat?”
His sister stepped back into view as he headed that directio...

Ten miles outside of Bristol, Texas. The night was sweltering as summer ap-proached dauntingly closer. The black t-shirt was stretched tautly across broad shoulders and already clinging to his damp skin as Jesse Shaw escaped into the bar to avoid the evening heat. Pausing a moment inside the doorway, Jesse’s blue eyes adjusted to the brighter interior. He stuck ou...

Leaning back in the big black leather chair, a weary hand ran down his face. He hadn’t heard a word from Shaw since he’d tracked that last mark to Texas. How much trouble could a secretary be to handcuff and bring back to Atlanta? Maddox Montgomery’s cold gray eyes lifted as the door opened off his office. The office was attached to his cabin. It had an interior ...

For a whole month, Eve had been walking on eggshells. Matt Blake barely spoke to her on the job and he’d leave the bar if she showed up. There was absolutely nothing she could do to get through to the man. She’d tried. Eve had brought him coffee. He’d simply poured it out saying that he didn’t need extra caffeine. She sat at her desk now. Her fingers in her hai...

Matt didn't worry so much about his daughter. His mother pretty much had that taken care of and Faith's mother would take Sara for vacations. Sara was very close to both women and they protected her like old wet hens. His mother's only complaint was that he'd pretty much stepped out of Sara's life. He'd felt the need to. That emotional bond would kill him, he jus...

Lt. Matt Blake looked over the hostages cowered in various locations around the bank lobby. “You have food, just as you requested. Now I’d like half the hostages to be released,” said Blake quickly. His gray blue eyes going to the bank teller lying on the hard marble floor covered by a jacket. It had to have been one of the hostages that had done it. Maybe one of...

There is less than two weeks left to the contest I'm running. If you want to throw your hat in at trying to get the free copy of Explosive Reaction that I'm giving away signed, now would be the time to do it. Only about 15 people are interested which is a little surprising because I've had great feedback from everyone on here.

Anyway, everyone have a great...

Well, here it is. Enjoy!

The air didn’t drift, didn’t move. Leaves crunch under light footsteps. Fingertips brush the cool granite. The full moon cast soft white light over the cemetery. Gray eyes move slowly over the graves. Just three days ago Tyler had been buried here. A slow smile graces the sinful lips, lips Tyler had p...

Hey everyone,

Lisa finally did it, I haven't seen her post anything here yet, so I thought I'd do a little promo work for her. The 9th Day is finally in print.

Everyone have a good day!

As some of you know, Explosive Reaction is in the midst of being published and I want to share my dedication with my friends. This is how it appears in my book.


Dedication:

Thanks to my husband, children, friends and family that have supported me through the years allowing me to get engrossed in my writing without complaint and gave me the op...

This is funny, they're all hot and bothered and Cain puts on the brakes. Read it for a good laugh!

Tempeste pulls away, her hands moving to his belt. His hands grab her wrists. Her goal to remove what was left of both of their clothes in order to bring about what she knew was going to happen. “Cain?”
Cain still had doub...

This is going to be a hilarious thrill ride.

----

Conversation had lulled between them as they ate in silence. Tempeste debating on whether or not to tell him about the contract Dary had put on him and how she knew of it. If Cain made the connection between Storm and Tempeste Banning, she’d have no choice but to kill him.

10 a.m. Shadow is sitting at her workstation. The band tied around her arm. Flexing her fingers a few times, she watches the vein well. Injecting the experimental serum, her eyes close as her breathing becomes harsh to her own ears while releasing the band on her arm. Setting the syringe aside, her hand braces flat on the surface of the workstation as her teeth c...

The atmosphere inside The Rave was lively to say the least. Strobe lights cast the dance floor in snapshot images of blue and blood red. Bodies moving to and for in the light to the pulsating music. The accelerated heart rates calling out to primal instincts. Gray eyes move over the bodies gyrating and grinding on the dance floor. Watching humans dance was almost...

Okay, this is revised. Majority of it is still the same though I've added to it. You get a greater sense of the main characters and the afflictions. Enjoy! And quit being a scrooge with comments. I welcome them. And another thing, if you don't comment how will I know what I need to work on people. :-)

The rest of the pictures are on my myspace page. I couldn't find the video footage we shot on the memory card of the camera. Suggestions? When I get the videos I'll put them on, but for right now I uploaded a few pics of the concert.

Hey friends, over the next week or so, I'll be uploading some of the concert footage I got at the Lifehouse concert last night. The pics however, I'm going to be putting on my myspace page so if you want to keep track of that my url is www.myspace.com/j_e_ moore414 or you can search my email jemoore414@yahoo.com . I'll get it done as soon as I get back the cd's from...

Hello, hope that everyone is doing well and that the creative juices are flowing. I've had a few new connection requests. I just wanted to let all my new friends know that, if you have something to say about one of my blogs say it. I don't take criticism to heart but into consideration. Writing is an ever evolving craft. And some of my older friends on here *coug...

Got a message to call one of the sargents in my husband's unit. Guess what? He's out! No second tour in Iraq. That means no wills to be made out. This is a huge weight lifted off of me. He's going this weekend to get his paperwork. I might actually be able to quit smoking now. I'm not saying I wouldn't have supported him if he had gone back over. But I know h...

Chapter Eleven is finally up on the From the Depths of Hell Profile. I'm thinking with this chapter Mercia's story is winding down, but there is a sequel. I think it would be fun to see how this demon transitions from hell to heaven so the next book is called To Heaven's Gate. They go together well, From the Depths of Hell to Heaven's Gate. I'll try to get the nex...

So... I'm entering the 77th Annual Writer's Digest Writing Competition again. Maybe this year I'll have better luck. The name of my short story is Last Dance. And not saying anyone on here would snatch it, but I'll be waiting until June to post it in my blog when the late entry deadline is up, just to be on the safe side, you know. I think I might have a phenomin...

I know this is strange, but I'm supporting my cat's addiction to catnip. It's sad watching this cat stare off into space after watching him rub all over his catnip laced scratching post. Yeah, I gave in and bought it for him, but it was either that or watch him tear up my furniture. Though he seems a lot more mellow and less vocal. Just thought it was funny and ha...

This is a learning experience for all that want to be involved. He's got event details on his profile. I'm going to see what I can do to be there. It'll be a great learning experience for those that are interested. Either contact myself or Matt and we'll get you the information. I'll be posting this on my myspace page too. There are links from myspace to both of...

Well, I was doing so good yesterday with not smoking. That was until my husband's first sgt. called. My husband was put on the immediate stop loss list. Which translates to he's going to Iraq. I'll have more info next month. I'm not sure I can do Iraq again. Granted, the boys are older this time. But I shouldn't be forced to be a single mom because of the milit...

I've decided to quit smoking. Today is the last day I'll have a cigarette. I know it doesn't seem like much. I've quit before. But I'm thinking that now that my chain smoking mother-in-law is gone, it'll be easier. They've finally moved into their house and I'm thinking if I quit, I can get my husband to do it too. It'll be better for us in the end. Anyway, jus...

Thanks to everyone who is keeping up with the From the Depths of Hell. A new chapter will be up in the next week. Thanks to fans, friends, and everyone who enjoys From the Depths of Hell. I'm honored to have both my profile and the novel in the featured artists. Thanks to everyone.

Jackie

Sorry, everyone, unforeseen circumstances kept me away. Okay, so that's not exactly true. I'm a fossil at 30 yrs old. I got dial-up and forgot to pay my phone bill. Sorry, but I'm back. So laugh at me all you want, I don't care, I enjoyed the break from telemarketers, lol.

Prologue




Pensacola, FL

“I propose a toast,” the shot glass was lifted along with three others. “To the best damn female pilots the military has to offer. Oh, and Ryce finally getting promoted to major.”
“Oh, thanks, O’Brien,” the blonde muttered as they all downed the shots then turned the glasses over on...

As some of you know, Christmas break in the Moore household has been entertaining to say the least. The kids went to Lakeland with my brother. We've had stitches. They fight. They argue. And now they're back in school. I just might be able to retain my sanity. And get back to writing. Hope your Christmas vacation was better than mine. :) Have fun! Oh, and I...

Well, if some of you keep up with my blog, you know that Kevin Backlund and I joined forces on the From the Depths IMP novel. Well, it has it's own profile www.impnow.com/profi les/from_the_depths_ of_hell/ Send a connection request. The about me is done as character as well as a few of the projects. And any questions you have will be answered in true Mercia Zigo...

This is another of my NSA novels. I love my NSA agents. Enjoy!

The beautiful brunette entered his line of sight in the apartment across the street having a heated discussion with her partner again. It seemed like all those two ever did was fight since they’d been assigned to each other over a year ago. Shaking his head ruefully. ...

Just finished it, so here it is. This chapter is a little comical, but it's the turning point for Mercia. Enjoy!

Chapter Six





Sitting in the chair, my ankles are crossed in the chair across from me. My cheek in my hand. Simply staring out the window as I watch the sun rise. Luc is asleep in t...

This one was submitted and didn't win. Oh well. This one is exactly as the title suggests, so if you don't want heat, don't read lol. Enjoy! :)

The dark was vaguely illuminated by the neon sign that flashed ‘Vacancies’. She was worn out and tired from traveling. She pulled off the road into the parking lot and parked the car...

Leaves playfully dance along the wind. Gently gliding along the grass. The pace unhurried. The park quiet. The spring morning going by without notice. Every morning, however, an exchange of views took place. One bench was always occupied.
Squirrels race back and forth. Fearful, yet strangely drawn to the peanuts lying across the ground. “Mornin...

Thanks to Kevin backlund! Forgive me, was at Wal-mart and still didn't get a keyboard. Kevin did the cover art for From the Depths for me. There will be more as I get it done. Added some to Chapter Six. Should have it done in a few days. Kevin has some wonderful art. I just love it. For some reason, I can never get the links to work so if you want to view his ...

Things are heating up. This chapter is a little erotic. Enjoy! :)

Chapter Five




Leaning against the window, my dark eyes search the darkness from behind the relative safety of the glass. Luc is moving around the room restlessly as if he is afraid to sleep. I can see his reflection. I turn away pu...

I'm sorry if there are typos. Was working on this late last night, just finished it and told everyone as it gets done, you get it. Enjoy! :)

Chapter Four





I awaken in the last few rays of daylight. My eyes traveling over the scene just outside the window. “Stop the car.”
“Why?”
...

Chapter Three, she's a little more human than she thought. And I think I fixed all the typos before I posted. Enjoy!

Chapter Three





I awoke in the motel room. Pushing up, I look over the room. The room is completely empty. Reaching down, my fingers spread the material of my black jeans. At t...

This is a little dark, but fun to write. This is all I'm going to post of this one on here until it's finished. I've really gotta get my word count quota done on the other one, but I told Lisa, she was Tara. The poor girl's unfortunate demise in the prologue. Enjoy!

Self explanitory, Chapter two, lol. Got a bumper sticker at the book signing says 'I do it demonstyle'. I took it as a sign I need to get this one done. Enjoy!

Chapter Two





Silence had dragged on between us for hours it seemed. After initially answering all of Luc’s questions about myself, h...

Chapter One





Evading the attack, I slid to a stop. The sword behind me, my hand all up in that nasty, wet snow. “Ugh,” I mutter shaking the dampness away. I get to my feet slowly. The cold lingering in my fingers. “Yuck!”
Te...

This is actually a horror/thriller with a hilarious start :) Enjoy! From the depths is actually From the Depths of Hell lol

Prologue





I know that shadows are meant to stay shadows. However, let me be the first to introduce myself. Mercia Zigor, demon hunter, at your service. My life has been ...

This happens to be my favorite novel that I have written, it takes so many twists and turns that it leaves you stunned. I'm shocked I even came up with the idea, lol. Enjoy!

7 years, 265 days, 12 hours, and 47 minutes. Ninety-nine some odd days left. Revenge was the only driving force in a place like this. Another three mon...

This is Blood War. Lisa has inspired me to take this novel I started ages ago and work with developing the concept more. These are my two unique creatures. Both vampire/werewolf hybrids. The only two known to exist in my world. Hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think or I'm liable to squelch the idea and say to hell with it. lol

...

This should give you a real feel for the characters. This one has a lot more seduction, action than some of the others. I'll be throwing some of those scenes on here. I especially like the trip in the mud (Next excerpt). It'll have you rolling. Enjoy!

This is another in the long list of special agents I like to write about. These two are just as bad as the rest of them. Enjoy Vincent Alizarin and Rose Cabot's story. At least he's not Spanish this time, lol.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, KGB agents were no longer a high commodity. Many of the f...

Her smile broadened. “Shall we finish what we started earlier?”
“As in?”
“Our dance,” Lara climbed out of bed grabbing his hand pulling him towards the living room. She reached over flipping on the desk lamp then released his hand going to the stereo. Rico shook his head. She crouched selecting a CD carefully. He’d never seen a woman l...

Aidan’s hands slid down her arms. “I’m ready for dessert, what about you?”
Tate grinned. “Go get the pie.”
Aidan left her long enough to go into the kitchen and grab the pie from the fridge. He came back sporting the pie and grabbed her hand pulling her towards the bedroom. She could only laugh.
Entering the bedroom, Aidan...

It's sad that a student would carry a gun to school with the intention of killing others and himself. Anyone that knows me knows that I have three boys, one in middle/high school. And the thought of school shootings terrifies me, but some of the blame lies with the parents, not just school officials. If a parent would take ten minutes out of their schedule to ask t...

I entered this in the Writer's Digest 76th Annual and didn't win. Oh, well, I want people to enjoy it so here it is. It's a different take on my usual writing style.

Again, the world was plunged into darkness. Misgivings presented themselves in the darkness. Drawing a slow breath, pale blue eyes stared out at the darkened landsca...

This is the short story idea my husband came up with and since he can't write, I wrote it for him.

Los Angeles. The city of angels never seemed to sleep; everyone seemed to be oblivious to morally offending content. There were two rather scruffy looking people, by design, sitting on a bench watching people walking to and fro at the hectic ...

These are my thoughts on Iraq, though yours may be different. I’d like to hear everyone’s responses.
Lately, I watch the news and they compare Iraq to Vietnam. In a lot of ways I feel it’s the same. We should have never been there to start with. The French started Vietnam and the US had to finish it. Rather try to. With Iraq, it all comes down to...

Lying in the bed. Rico’s arm resting behind his head. A frown creased his brow feeling a body shift beside him. His head was killing him. He must’ve drank too much tequila. A soft leg slid over his. His head turned slightly.
There lying in the bed beside him was Lara Kelly. Frowning slightly. How had they ended up in bed together? He must’ve dra...
