Hello Everyone. Today started off kind of rocky for me. I hope your Monday began way better than mines. As a result of my 'rocky morning,' I'm totally so far behind schedule. Hence, today's late post. Any who, it's Day 6 and I'd like to introduce you all to author Phoenix Rayne. Some of you may know her but for the ones that don't, I'm sure you will love her! Here she is ...
Phoenix Rayne
Author Phoenix Rayne grew up on a farm in Arkansas. She has lived all over the country but now resides back in Arkansas with her miniature poodle Bougie. Phoenix obsession with books started at a very young age. She got tired of reading about characters who looked nothing like her and her friends. She decided to write short stories and only shared them with her friends. Several years later she published her From Love to Loathe Series.
Phoenix loves to read Romance, Young Adult, Fantasy, Mystery, Suspense, and a little bit of Erotica. So it’s only natural she would write the same. She loves having a different variety of characters in all of her books. No matter what shade you are, you will be able to relate and understand all of her characters.
In her free time, she reads, writes and enjoys having cocktails and going to the movies with her friends.

Book Excerpt ~ Your Secret's Safe With Me (Part 3)
The bedroom door opened wide, Rod and Giselle came out with luggage. They walked past me, and I kept my attention on the bedroom’s thresh hold. She appeared in the doorway. Her cheeks and nose both were red. Once those eyes met mine, I knew she’d been crying. She held her cosmetic box and rolled out her Mac Zuca bag. I’d bought her that last year. I kept going to the bathroom and couldn’t even brush my damn teeth for her all of her cosmetics covering the sink. The lady at the store said everyone who was anyone had the Zuca bag. She had four Mac makeup boxes that she consolidated into the Zuca bag. She loved that bag; she talked about it for weeks to her friends. Giselle ended up getting one because Cam repeatedly told her how much she loved it. I had done well with that purchase.
Cambria stopped next to island and dug into her purse. She pulled out her Arkansas Razorback keychain and her iPhone sitting them both on the marble top. Rod held the door open for her. She wouldn’t make eye contact with me. She just walked right passed me not saying a word. Dad and I were the only one’s watching her. Everyone else was to involved with Phillip and Roxy’s break down. I couldn’t feel anything for them yet. I was too far gone to give a damn. Dad watched me and then he frowned. He looked at the door, then at me, then back the door, and back at me. I knew he wanted me to go after her, but I couldn’t do that. He shook his head and then walked to over to Mom and Olympia. He wrapped an arm around both of their waists. He was giving me a window to take. A window to go and talk to Cam without an audience. I looked at the door, and Rod was closing it. I caught it before the latch could connect. I opened it back up and slid out.
