Breanna Humbug

Hello lovelies,

I trust you had a nice Christmas and got the presents you wanted if you were good and what you deserve if you were on the naughty list. So as you know Bree hates holidays, especially Christmas; however, her eyes light up like a kid on Christmas morning on the after holiday sales day: trees, ornaments, everything you need for xmas 12 mo from now. And of course, nothing says happy holidays like a neon pink tree. Yes, she got one with all the lights and ornaments she could attach to its one foot frame. It may be small, but I contend it could induce a seizure in an unsuspecting human once plugged in. Now she’s happy and full of holiday spirit, why? Because the holiday is over!!!!! And she got everything for 50 percent off, lol. So only 12 more months to go!

Be good or else,

SJ

P.S. Oh yes, she got a nice red xmas bb spanking for running around the store pushing every stuffed animal that played a xmas song. The cacophony of melodies had parents holding their ears and some little kids crying…ho ho ho indeed.

Guess Who?!

Guess who is making the first appearance of 2016?

The sequel featuring your favorite trio, Layten, Caine and May is set to to hit your kindles in a little over 2 weeks. Who’s ready?

We have so much to share in the coming weeks!

Until then have a fun and safe New Years! Can’t wait to show you what is in store for 2016 and what the next year will bring.

Sending Thanks and Love

4289_happy-thanksgivingSending Thanks and Love to Some Very Special People…My Inspirations

I’ve had a lot of peeps ask me where I get my inspirations for so many books. Especially knowing how many changes I’ve endured this last year. Moreso, they ask how I can turn so many ick-upped things into wonderful, positive HEAs. I guess it boils down to this- how do I chose to live? Do I want a life of positive energy, or negative destruction? I choose positive!

The biggest change, and the best, is that John and I are living the dream. No, we aren’t rich or famous; but we are healthy, happy and in an awesome place in our lives. We have moved from an area where we were so confined that it felt like a prison, we have eliminated everything and everyone in our lives who has caused us pain or distress, and we have grown more in love with each other than ever before.

Learning to say no to abusive relationships and negative work situations was freeing on so many levels…As a writer, it unfettered me and opened the door for me to create in a way that I have never been able to. My time, and my mind, is free from the effort of trying to pacify those who would never be pacified, and snatch MY time back to use it how I desire. I found that I am now a slave to my muse, and that suites me just fine! She is a bit demanding, but she had only one desire- to share our heart with all of you. I am being touched on a daily basic by the most wonderful fans anyone can ask for, and people who genuinely desire to make their lives ones of joy and love.

These last three years, especially, have been ones of growth and learning to reach to a new level of personal improvement. Because of people like John, Isabella, and Lily, I have achieved so much more than I could have imagined. I have discovered what true, unselfish love really is. I got to know the open and honest hearts of Bethany and Jim at Blushing, and met a ton of wonderful authors who are loving, fun, and sincere people. I have been privileged to see the difference between the genuine and the fake, the selfless and the selfish; and when I have stumbled, I have had people around me, including you- my incredible fans- to pick me up and hug me to death.

I’ve discovered the depth of caring that comes from real family and friends. My newest book, Little Lady Jane, reflects these lessons. It is dedicated to all of you. Thank you.

Brat Pack Shenanigans: Part 2

 

image

This is the next story in our brat pack shenanigans. So Nik, Isa and I are smart girls…VERY smart girls BUT get the three of us together and our sense of self preservation and responsibility fly out the window….why you say? Eh it’s pure science…we’re dorks.

While on our visit one night….after we had our Christmas exchange, and dinner, and a couple of drinks, and after being told we’re not allowed outside without papa knowing where we were, he and mama went to bed. Of course we were not ready for bed yet, so we dorky girls came up with a brilliant idea at about 1 am during another giggle fest.

Mission 1: Nik has beer in her mini fridge…we must obtain first (this MAY have been my idea) This would be tricky, as her room is across from mama and papa’s room. So we delegated the plan. ..it was brilliance….I did the listen/look out….Nik tiptoed and grabbed the beer and Isa had her finger on the light switch to kill the lights at the first sign of movement. After a tense few minutes the mission was completed.

Mission 2: Find our sneakers….This is more difficult than you can believe…Three girls sharing one room equals explosion of clothes and shoes. THAT is a whole other story…Isabella never did find hers.

Mission 3: Sneak out the sliding glass door….So here we go…Tip…Toeing.. gently sliding the door…wincing with each slide of the glass…we sneak….we close it nice and gently. …then?…we run…LOUDLY like Clydesdale’ s while laughing louder than a group of women at an all male strip club!

See? We had come up with a plan…there is NO cell service at mama and papa’s house and Isa was like a crack addict on withdraw. She needed to check her messages. So, we wanted to see if we boosted Isa up in a tree, and have her hold the phone REALLY high, would it work?…I’m not saying this was a logical plan people….So we troop out onto the back of the five acre property…On the way we stopped approximately 18 times…Why you ask? Cause we thought we heard something…ever see that “up” movie where the dog stops and goes. ..squirrel!!….yeah….that was us….See we weren’t afraid of the pitch black…monsters…ghosts…tarantulas….Oh nooo….we were scared that papa would miraculously appear outta of the black, inky night with a paddle and that “look”….again…Yeah….NOT logical.

So as we’re walking…drinking our stolen beer, our conversation was like this:
Isa: My phone is my crack…we need to find a high enough tree.
Nik: What if you fall? Your kinda drunk….
Isa: One of you have to catch me.
Piper: Not it!
Isa: *stops in front of a tall tree* This one…Ok, you  guys  boost me up…I’m going to find a signal and see if it works…Piper…climb the tree next to me to take a picture, cause I want one…Nik if you see papa coming signal.
Piper: I am not climbing a tree unless you get me more beer
Isa: We’ll get you vodka when we’re done
Piper: *pause* I’m in!

So Isa begins to climb. But in her drunken state and flip-flop wearing feet, it was clear she was not going very high. In fact, I believe she made it about 3 feet above the ground. Of course she was hanging on and cheering herself on cause in her mind, she was at the top of the world!

Isa: I gotta climb higher so you can take my picture! This has to go down in the annals of the brat pack!
Nik: I don’t think climbing higher is a good idea…visions of splattered Isa dancing through my head… Look, I will just get down on the ground and aim the camera up at you. It will make it look like you are way up in the tree.
Piper & Isa: * look at each other* works for us!

So of course we got our picture. ..But as we’re laughing about this we hear something…again NOT worried it’s Jason materializing with a machete, BUT afraid of it being papa…So all three of us hit the ground….then whisper/yell..

 

Isa: Did you hear that? OMG What was that?

Nik: I think I see someone on the deck!

Piper: OMG Someone IS standing on the deck.

At this point the dogs in the courtyard on the other side of the house started barking their fool heads off. Someone was definitely standing on the deck!

Nik and Piper: we need to get rid of the evidence *holding up the beer can*

Isa: really guys? Cause us sneaking out AT 2am he’ll overlook?
Piper: *ponders* ya gotta point BUT with beer??

Beer that he specifically told us we could NOT have. Since we had already met our two drink limit for the night.
Nik: Yeah, we’ll be dead….
Piper: Ok, so here’s what we should do…let’s hide them behind a tree and we can get them tomorrow.

Nik: No, he will see us getting them. They gotta be gone. Like really gone.
Isa: I’ll do it!

Keep in mind Isa is the one that had flip flops on in a grove of oak trees strewn with sticks and snakes and tarantulas and god only knows what else that was hidden in the brush. Quickly, we all downed the remainder of our beer cause hello, fear or not, we were not gonna waste any.
So Isa takes the beer cans but see she thought we meant throw behind a tree….like over the fence….like elsewhere so guess where they went…
Piper: Isa NO!! Now we gotta get them!
Nik: ohhhhhh nooo. Wait, are they really hidden? Oh crap. If he sees that we littered on our neighbors property… We gotta get them. You guys are gonna leave and I will be here to face it alone. No, this is NOT good.
Isa: I’ll climb the fence…
All three of us look up at the 8 foot monstrosity then look at each other then look up again….pause for about three minutes quietly….then Isa says….
Isa: isn’t there a tire swing?
Nik: Yeah!
Piper: Tire swing sounds better than late night, fence climb, beer can retrieval….let’s go!!

Oh and in case your wondering who was standing on the deck, and yes we all three saw someone walk across the deck, stop, and just stand there appearing to look DIRECTLY at us. It was not Daddy. So, there was definitely a ghost out there that night. But better a ghost than a prickly dom woken up in the middle of the night.

Story to be continued…..
