Announcement from Geonn Cannon
A bare-bones Riley Parra update this week! Due to computer woes with my Magical Webmistress (she's really quite awesome), this week's story won't appear on the site until at least Saturday. In order to make sure everyone gets their fix on time, I'll send out the story as an email Word Document attachment to everyone who has already purchased it (and to anyone who purchases it between Friday and when the story goes up). Hopefully it won't be too long before the official version goes live, but this will hopefully make the wait a little easier to take. Enjoy!

We're closing in on the final few stories of Riley Parra Season Three! Thanks to everyone who has purchased so far! The only thing I'll use your emails for is when the official ebook comes out and I send you a free copy. That's cool with everyone, right?

Announcement from Q. Kelly
Because it's the holiday season (my grocery store started stocking decorations BEFORE Halloween) here's a limited-time promo offer. The price of "The Odd Couple" is $4.99, down from $6.99. Not sure how long I'll keep this offer going.
Buy it at Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/The-Odd- Couple-ebook/dp/B005SJRABU/ref =cm_cr_pr_product_top )

Smashwords ( http://www.smashwords.com/book s/view/93447 ) Here's part of the latest TOC review on Amazon.
I won't go into the details of this story because other reviewers have already done that. I will say that I've never read this story before. That in itself is an accomplishment since it seems that many romance novels are a rehashing of the same events with different names .... The author has a knack for attractions that overcome great obstacles faced by her characters. Give this story a chance. I think you'll like it.

The loss of her partner/lover in a friendly fire shooting sends LA police detective Loni Wagner running back to the quiet, safe life she remembered in a small Southern Arizona town. There she joins the Arizona Highway Patrol, assuming that she can stay out of trouble driving her night shift on the peaceful desert roads. And she's right except for a plane wreck in a graveyard, a serial rapist, a kidnapping, a murder, a freeway pileup during a dust storm, a tornado, dead bodies, drug runners, and human smugglers. And she thought the streets of LA were dangerous.
But it's what takes place in the light of day that has her life in total disarray as things keep happening in the small town where everybody knows everybody else's business and where things keep coming back to bite her in the ass. She not only works out of the same police station with high school enemies, she has a red-neck sexist police chief who loads her down with jobs beyond her shift that leave her exhausted and sleep deprived. And, on top of her need to help an old friend with troubles he doesn't even know he has, she adds her Native Indian grandparents to her worries: her grandmother is not well, and cattle rustling and vandalism on their ranch is about to break them.
Still mourning the death of her partner, Loni makes an effort to connect with other women she finds intriguing—Jenny, the art teacher, and Tory, the new town veterinarian while she also attempts to avoid dealing with Dorothea, her old high school interest. But it's Lola, the dispatcher at work that Loni believes is straight, who really occupies her mind, the one who challenges Loni to accept what is and to understand what coming home really means.
" I savored every carefully chosen word of this novel. It's fine stuff and the stories are truly priceless. Some of the passages are lyrically beautiful in the way of the desert, and the entire book portrays parts of the Native American culture and the American West with great affection. The pictures Sue Hardesty creates are rich with detail, yet I was caught up in the tale of a hurting police officer come home to start a new. " ~~ Lee Lynch

( Third story in the 'Like' series. Part 1: Like Andrea , Part 2: Like Family ) It's not as much a 'story' as Like Andrea, just a continuation of that universe, much like “Like Family” was.
Sessions by Geonn Cannon [Original/Alt/Complete]
A police detective's relationship is on the rocks when her district attorney girlfriend becomes infected with a vampire virus.(I wrote this story for the Academy's Halloween Invitational, but I thought it was a touch too dark. The story I ended up submitting isn't all flowers and kittens, but this one's ending leaves it up in the air as to whether it's just sad or totally tragic. I leave it up to you!)
Undercover Homecoming by Geonn Cannon [Original/Alt/Complete]
A closeted woman's girlfriend comes up with a way to go back home without revealing her secret. A bit of fluff to make up for the darkness in the other stories!

Although she loves teaching, her true passion is cryptozoological research, and proving that “monsters” really do exist. During a weekend hunt for bigfoot she meets Constance Blackhawk, a veterinarian that operates her family's farm and has a spiritual connection to the land of her ancestors. The two women are immediately drawn to one another and soon find themselves caught in the middle of protecting the mysterious creatures of legend, and protecting themselves from a maniacal scientist willing to go to any lengths for what she wants. Can love blossom amid a hunt for bigfoot; it most certainly can!
