Q: Give us a sneak! What are you reading? Tell us about a fun or fail scene in your current read.
A: I just completed April's NaNoWriMo and am officially a 2013 winner. As such, the only book I've even looked at recently is the book I'm writing, Underground (Secrets, #2). I've been eating, sleeping, and breathing Emily Riddle's world, one that is unlike anything most of us could ever imagine because it's one where women are not equals... they are more like slaves and baby factories than actual human beings.
This book is nowhere near finished (or edited), but I thought it would be nice to share one of my favorite (so far) excerpts from it. Please know, I will change this a hundred times before it gets published, but it will give fans of Grave Bound (Secrets, #1) a glimpse into Emily's newest adventure. Believe me when I say that Grave Bound (Secrets, #1) may have been filled with twists and turns, but it doesn't have anything on Underground (Secrets, #2). ❤

Excerpt (Emily):
There's no way
he'll find me.
I stop, lean my hand against one of the forest's many giant
oaks, bend over, and rest until my breathing slows and my lungs are no longer burning.
Time does nothing for my legs. They are still contorted with searing cramps
that won't seem to go away. Unable to run—or walk—another step, I slip to
the ground near the tree and curl up beneath it. I scoot closer to it several
times and don't stop until I'm as far into the base of the oak as I can squeeze.
The last thing I want right now is for Noah to find me.
After a few minutes, I pull Levi's cellphone from my pocket, turn
it on, and study it. I'm surprised the device is still charged. I search
through it's folders... desperate to discover something new about the man I
loved... longing to hear his voice.
Levi has dozens of people listed under his contacts. The name
that catches my attention right away is Tope Bryson, DA. Without thinking, I
push the call button. I'm not sure I really want to talk to him, but I dont'
want to be alone either.
"Hello?" Tope says, cautiously.
I don't say anything. I just needed to hear his voice.
"Who is this?" Tope asks and there is hope in his
voice. His hope may have been silent, but it spoke to the place in me that is broken,
beaten, battered, and bruised.
"It's me," I whisper.
