(Don’t gasp – we all love sex, it’s okay.) The whole story started to form as I was reading what agents were looking for. Strong female MC – check gay/lesbian overtones – check paranormal – check Romance – well there is a little romance and sex, best of both worlds. After every single agent said, “no thanks” or nothing at all I started looking at what they WERE looking for. I had a terribly overwritten vampire book (Don’t we all? 🙂 …and it’s good, just horribly overwritten. KM: You’re not going to believe how this all came together. What inspired you to write it? Did you create the character first or the plot first? I love the fact that it has a little bit for everyone. KM: Thank you Shannon for inviting me to your blog! Now working on her third novel, Kim has decided to dive head first into the literary world with her breakout novel, TAKING CONTROL. Kim worked in sales for many years before losing her sanity and transitioning to writing full time.

Surely, if there are ghosts, other things exist as well. Since discovering that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were fictitious characters, she found it difficult to believe her parents when they told her “there is no such thing as ghosts.” Hiding under the blankets, jumping at things that go bump in the night led her mind to wandering through the mysteries the world keeps locked away. Her journey began when she discovered that like most parents, hers happen to also be compulsive liars. I’m so excited to have author Kimberly Mullican visiting today! Here’s a little bit about Kim: (*If you’d like to ask “Dear Abbey” a question, please send it to my mom: soespo (at) with a picture of your pet.) What was the silliest thing you’ve ever dressed your pet up in? How did they react? So, there you have it, Gia! I give your butt five woofs! The scoop is we just see two primary colors (blue & yellow) instead of three (red, blue & yellow). (My mom needs to share those treats she eats in front of me at night.) Anyway, humans think we’re color blind but we’re not. A much easier technique than all that yappin’ humans do.) I think you look positively woofy but, my mom says she wouldn’t be caught dead with flower patterns on her hieny at the dog park.

(That’s how we find out about each other’s temperament to see if we can be friends, ya know.

“Gia would like to ask Abbey if this vest makes her butt look big?”Ībbey says: Woof! Hey, mom…this screen isn’t scratch and sniff? (Mom says: No!) Well, Gia, I think your butt looks mucho inviting. I have two human brothers who like to wrestle on the floor, one canine sister (who gets a bit grumpy with all my puppy energy), a dad who is the head of the pack and a mom who lets me sneak on the couch when he’s not home. My family rescued me when I was only 5 weeks old. Greeting humans! I’m Abbey and my mom says I’m so smart I should have my own guest blog to answer questions from you or your pets! First a bit about me:
