The following are plot notes for the work I have waiting for me in the wings--minus any spoilers. #:0) I hope you enjoy these preview tidbits!

Honeybun at a Dude Ranch -- Book 6 in the Honeybun Hunks series

Heathcliffe's story. Depressed by injuries that have sidelined his dancing career and feeling squiggy about his personal life because of Edric and Bella's impending wedding, Heathcliffe goes to his cousin Peyton's Dude Ranch in Southern Indiana for some "alone" time. He expects to spend time riding horses by himself, hiking alone, and contemplating the direction his life is taking to see if he can get himself back on track.

At the ranch, he finds himself helpless against the persuasive powers of Nita Harley, the newly hired activity director of the ranch. Nita's an attractive, young widow who's set aside her own grief by helping others deal with theirs. Before he knows what he's doing Heathcliffe's allowed himself to get pulled into group rides and hikes, as well as team bonding activities that include riding one of Indiana's largest and fastest zip lines.

Unfortunately, when it's Heathcliffe's turn on the line, he literally bumps up against a dead body on the wire. To make things worse, he isn't entirely comfortable with Nita's reaction to finding a corpse on the property. And one of the guests at the ranch seems a little bit too possessive of the young AD.

So, when Nita appears to be the murderer's next victim, Heathcliffe has to wonder whether it's all a big show...especially when some parts of it seem to have been pulled directly from the popular murder mystery dinner night at the Ranch.

Queen of the Fairy Mound - YA writing as s.i. decker

Maeve is still missing. Rosy, Cia, Teague and Oren are part of a rescue group to go to the black castle to save her. They’re accompanied by Eldan, an elder fairy and Maeve’s heart throb.

Along the way, they are distracted, attacked, and finally separated. The four young fairies end up in an Elvin wasteland, with no way to get back. There, they engage in a kind of “Lost” behavior, since their fairy powers are greatly diminished. They need to get to the top of a mountain, where a portal exists that doesn’t require full powers.

Along the way they learn a lot about themselves, Cia and Rosy discover that they have powers nobody expected, Rosy finds a baby silver dragon and keeps it, and relationships grow. Dangers abound.

When they finally get to the portal they use it to go to the black castle rather than home. They fight their way to the king and Teague uses the fact that he’s the king’s Other to force him to reveal the location of the queen.
