Blurb:
Paisley Barton was already having a bad day before she turned her husband
into a rat.First, she was fired by her boss and then came home to find hubby in the shower with a naked blonde chick. They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned but this break-up may just unleash hell on Earth when Paisley casts a spell of vengeance against her philandering husband.
After her spell casting inadvertently opens a portal between dimensions, Paisley finds her family home transformed into a nightly courtroom for settling disputes between demons of the underworld and she’s the judge! If that’s not enough, she’s got to deal with a charming, ancient demon named Camden who wants to be her personal bodyguard while trying to explain her husband’s sudden, mysterious disappearance to sexy police Detective Dalton Briggs.
But Paisley will show them all that an everyday working mom is better equipped than most to deal with the mystical mayhem…and with a tempting demon hottie and a flirtatious young detective vying for her affection, she soon learns that being single again isn’t so bad after all.
“When a wronged wife turns her cheating husband into a rat, you know you have to keep reading! Kerri Nelson offers up a lot of fun and wild magic in Courting Demons!” --Bestselling author, Linda Wisdom, Demons are a Girl’s Best Friend
Are You a Mood Prude?
It is no secret…I’ve been
described as “moody”. Just ask my
husband. Or my children.
I have quite a few mood
swings (some days more than others) but mood swings are often described as a
bad thing. Even listed as
potential side effects for common medications. Now, of course, there are some moods that can be dangerous
but I’m not talking about those.
I’m talking about the typical…happy, sad, pensive, melancholy, followed
by ecstatic.
That’s kind of a typical
week for me. I think it can be
attributed to all the emotions that I’m constantly siphoning through my
characters on a daily basis. At
any one time I might be working on two or more different projects. One book might be a comical historical
with bosoms bulging while another might be an action packed thriller with
violence and edge of your seat suspense.
And that’s just what I’m
writing. At the same time I might
be editing yet another novel—sexy
adventure on the high seas—and still yet I might be reading a book about
parenthood and angst of coping with my toddlers’ tantrums (yes, I have more
than 1 toddler).
As you can see, my daily
dose of reading and writing could lead me down any one of many different
emotions. How is a girl supposed to
just turn those off and on in the blink of an eye? Some folks might be able to but I know I can’t.
But is this necessarily a
bad thing? I mean, people often
connotate “you’re moody” with you’re being a royal pain in the “you know what”. That’s not necessarily the only mood a
person can be. And I think that
being moody makes my writing more interesting. So, I’m going to state today that I’m moody and proud of
it.
Kinda wish there weren’t so
many mood prudes out there, though.
What’s your attitude toward moods?
Do you think you’re a moody person? Do you think an author who is in touch with their multitude
of moods creates more realistic characters?
Today I’m in a very nervous
and anxious mood as I have a doctor’s appointment coming up later this
afternoon. But hopefully all will
be good and by tonight I’ll be all smiles. If not, there’s always tomorrow.
Thanks for hosting today, Ginger. Can’t wait to hear about everyone’s
mood attitude!
