BIO

Jill
Patten was born a Yankee, but raised a southerner. She lives in the small town
of Mayberry, North Carolina which was made famous by a popular TV show back in
the sixties. (Maybe there will one day be a statue of her at the end of Main
Street. Ha! A girl can dream, right?)
Jill
has always loved to read, even during reading labs in middle school for reading
comprehension. Judy Blume was her first author she hero-worshipped, maturing to
revere the works of Stephen King. With all the fantastic authors today, she
simply cannot choose a favorite. Her taste is very eclectic and she loves
almost all genres. When she's not captivated by her fictional characters, she
spends time with her sweet husband and two beautiful children.
Music
is her muse. Jill also loves elephants, sarcasm, and anything made with sugar,
especially sweet tea. She enjoys all things rude and crude and laughs at stuff
she probably shouldn't. She has been accused of being bossy a time or two, but
doesn't really see it herself.
All
in all, Jill is just a small town girl in this great big world trying to enable
your book addiction.
Secrets Unveiled blurb (Secrets, 2)
In this second and final installment, Jaxon
and Courtney are forced into a world of more secrets. Some have been harbored
from within, some are unknown, and some or just forming. When the truth finally
does come out, will their fragile love for one another be strong enough to
hold, or will the weight of deceit break the string that tethers them together?
Toxic
Secrets blurb (Secrets, 1)
Secrets are meant to be kept, but sometimes
those unspoken words can become toxic - destroying you and the ones you love.
Seventeen year old Courtney Peterson always thought her future would consist of marrying her high-school sweetheart, becoming a stay-at-home mom, and living a happily ever after. All that changes when she finds out the boy who stole her heart three years ago resorts to cheating. Ending that relationship will be harder than she could imagine, but she is determined to move on, agreeing to go on a blind date with the older and cryptic Jaxon.
Jaxon Vaughn blazes into town for a short visit, taking steps down a new path in life. After facing unexpected tragedies at a young age and turning to self-destruction, he aches to redeem himself by opening a bar in his grandmother’s hometown. It is there he meets the pure and soulful Courtney, whom awakens the guilt that dejectedly haunts him.
Distance and circumstances may separate them, but they are unable to ignore the chemistry that draws them together. Can their relationship survive, or will it be shattered by clingy exes, mysterious phantoms from the past and unforeseen misfortunes?

Excerpt
#1
My
nerve endings buzzed with agitation. I needed a release. I needed an out. I
needed to swim, but I was too fucked up to get in the pool. The fucking cocaine
had me on edge, and I needed a downer. My eyes jumped back over to the glove
box again.
Making
a spontaneous decision, I turned the key in the ignition, bringing my truck to
life. She hummed loudly, which only intensified my edginess even more. Troy was
going to be pissed I was bailing on him, but I was pretty sure Val had already
filled him in on the state she found me in the parking lot. I couldn’t take a
chance on going in there feeling wired up like a live electrical current. One
little remark would be all it would take to set me off. Fighting with Troy
wasn’t something I wanted to add to my plate right now.
Somehow
I made it home without killing myself or someone else. Leaning across the bench
seat, I opened my glove box and made the irrational decision to take the
ludicrous contents with me.
Fuck, I needed a dog or some kind of pet who
would greet me with unconditional love when I returned home. My loneliness was
swallowing me into the depths of perdition. Hell fed on all the black and grey
that crept throughout my being.
