Thank you, Dixie, for having me on your blog for a second
time during my Witch/Ghost Blog Tour. Last time, I had a recipe. This time I
have a list. :)
Both of my new short stories, Ghost of Death and Witch
of Death, are short stories. Before that, I published Hurricane Crimes,
another short story, and 30 Seconds which is a novella. To say I love short
stories is an understatement. I love, love, LOVE them! Here’s why:
10
Reasons why I love Short Stories:
1. They are fun to write.
2. Sometimes an idea isn’t right for a novel but perfect
for a novella or short story.
3. I like being able to read a complete story in an hour
or so.
4. When I need a quick reading fix, I prefer a short
story versus starting a new book.
5. They help me to reach my Goodreads reading goal
faster. ;)
6. I love to create prequels or sequels for my book and
shirt is a good way to go for those.
7. Because they are short, you can cut out all of the
unnecessary piddly stuff and keep only a few major plot points AKA the good
stuff!
8. If it’s a thriller, you can count on the action
starting on page one and to never let up.
9. If you want a romance hit, short stories are quick and
packed with passion.
10. They are faster to edit. Haha!

nature, he has no other choice but to start believing. And solving a magical
murder involves working with a witch.

Excerpt:
Liberty Sawyer glided swiftly through the horde of police
officers, reporters, and on- lookers. Black hair fell from a rigid part in the
middle of her scalp to her hips. Her eyes were a soul-stabbing blue and her
lips were blood-red. She towered over the other officers on the scene, and wore
all black, which set off 6 the pallor of her skin.
Showing her badge to the officer, she slipped under the
crime scene tape. A few paces away, she spotted Detective Corbin talking to his
new partner, a man she knew by name but hadn’t had the privilege of meeting
yet.
“I cannot believe you called her,” the new man was saying
when she came up behind them. “We don’t need a damn psychic!”
“Actually, I’m a witch.” She smiled when Reid jolted and
turned to face her. “I’m
Detective Liberty Sawyer.” She stuck out her hand.
“Detective Reid Sanders,” he grunted back and took her
hand.
The feel of his palm against hers sent tingles of lust
from the tips of her fingers to her shoulder blade, and she knew he felt it too
by the way he jerked his hand back. She winked at him playfully, hoping it
would unnerve him even more.
