What’s Up Wednesday

Last weekend ended my book shows for this year, but I’m already lining up 2024 and even some 2025 shows, believe it or not. So far for 2024, I’m firm for Sexy & Sassy Signing (SaSS) in Norfolk, VA on July 20th and RomantiConn in Trumbull, CT the following weekend (7/27). I’ve also applied to Books Books Books, in Lancaster, PA (Sept), The Collingswood Book Fest in Collingswood, NJ (Oct) and I’ll keep on adding. For 2025 I’m (so far) firm for SaSS in Norfolk, VA and ElectriCon in Scranton, PA. I’ll be building that list as things become available.

I really love doing book shows, hanging out with fellow romance authors and best of all, meeting my readers (and making new ones). Each show brings something new and a load of great memories. So keep your eyes on this blog or one of my social media accounts for announcements about my coming events – I’d love to see you!

SaSS 23 Was Amazing!

The Sexy and Sassy Signing (SaSS) in Norfolk, VA is now over but will not be forgotten. I had such a great time meeting readers (and making some new ones), talking and partying with my fellow authors, and seeing the beautiful Norfolk waterfront. This was my first time at SaSS, and it did not disappoint on any level. Amy Marie and her indomitable staff of volunteers kept everything running smoothly, and my sales were fantastic. I highly recommend this show to all romance authors and readers.

Today I’m still unpacking and grouching about my sore feet but I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. I’m already signed up for next year and I can’t wait!

I’ll Be At RomantiConn!

RomantiConn is less than two months away – have you gotten your tickets yet? I’ll be there, along with a hundred other terrific romance authors and vendors. Last year was such a good time, and I think I walked out with more books than I came in with! If you’re in the Connecticut/NY/NJ area – you don’t want to miss this!

FAETED BRIDE Is Out Now!

Meet FAETED BRIDE, my new Fae novella! It was previously published in an anthology, but after six months, the rights reverted and the exclusivity clause expired, allowing me to publish it on my own.

This story originally went to a good cause, as the anthology raised money for a fellow author whose family was involved in a terrible car accident. That’s the state of healthcare in America – you have to hold a fundraiser to pay your medical bills. They’re all on the road to recovery now, and I had a blast writing the “Wake Up Married” trope in a magical realm.

So here’s the blurb:

Cait has been looking forward to finally meeting her online match for weeks. Sparks ignite, chemistry takes over, and one steamy night later she finds herself in a magical new world with a determined and irresistible Fae male who insists she’s now his mate. When the secrets of her past are revealed, Cait must decide where the truth lies—and whether her heart will follow.

FAETED BRIDE is out now – get your copy here!

ONCE UPON AN US Is Your Perfect Valentines Day Read!

Looking for a cozy, funny, head-over-heels, rock-your-socks-off Valentine’s Day read? ONCE UPON AN US is the book for you!

It’s the story of Kayla and Drew, two high school sweethearts who were the star performers of their local Renaissance Faire’s children’s theatre production of “Once Upon a Princess.”

It been ten years since then, and Kayla and Drew (along with the Ren Faire) are no more. When Kayla gets an invitation to a Valentine’s Day fundraising gala aimed at restarting the Faire – with Drew’s personal note on the bottom – old feelings stir and she begins to question choices she made long ago.

This story will have you laughing and cheering, it will warm your heart and steam your glasses. Get your copy here!

Cover Reveal Day For DREAM CROSSED!

I am thrilled to share with you the cover and blurb for my next novel, DREAM CROSSED! Isn’t lovely?

Special thanks to Red Leaf Book Designs for this amazing cover! And now for a little about the book:

Brad Reynolds and Gemma Marchwood come from two different worlds. Brad has made a fortune as a young entrepreneur in present-day New York City, socializing with the rich and powerful and crawling into bed feeling empty every night. For Gemma it’s 1906, and she spends her days tending to her beloved family estate, Sheffington Park, confined by the strictures of society in Edwardian England and facing the prospect of a loveless marriage. One magical amulet bridges time and space, allowing them to meet in their dreams. What starts as a little bit of heaven soon becomes a whole lot of heartache as they fight to hold on to each other despite impossible odds.

DREAM CROSSED will be out October 2021!

Would You Like A Sneak Peek?

I meant to do this back in January, but I was approached to take part in not just one, but two Paranormal Romance anthologies, so it sort-of ate my life for a bit. I have a quick moment to breathe between the launch of the ELEMENTAL DESTINIES Complete Set and final formatting of THE SACRIFICE, so you get a quick peek at 2021.

This aesthetic gives you some snapshots of the projects I have lined up for this year, in chronological order (L-R, Top to Bottom):

This is three novels, three novellas and two short stories. Whew! None of these are the actual covers, of course – just teasers. My full-length novels include a fantasy romance, a time-travel romance, and a contemporary holiday romance. Can’t wait to share them all with you!

The ELEMENTAL DESTINIES Set Is Out Now!

It’s here! THE ELEMENTAL DESTINIES Complete Set is out now! Along with these four terrific books:

💨 WINDSINGER

🌊 SEASINGER

🌻 EARTHSINGER

🔥 FIRESINGER

You also get a not-yet-available copy of the bonus novella FORCE OF NATURE! (FON is Keb’s story, for those of you following the series).

I am beyond thrilled to offer this exclusively on Kindle/Kindle Direct.

What’s Up For 2021?

It’s 2021 – Hallelujah!

New year, new goals, new books – and I’ve got a lot of them planned! I keep a running file of a good two dozen book ideas at any given time, plus I buy up amazing book covers whenever I see an outstanding one that sparks a story. The net result is a bunch of seeds that will hopefully grow great stories that I can share with you.

2021 is going to kick off in a couple of weeks with the cover reveal for my next novel–oooooh I am so excited to share this amazing cover! Just wait ’til you see it–you’re going to be completely blown away. That will be followed by a box set announcement (complete with a bonus novella) at the end of the month. February will bring a new Free Reads short story, and then in April, you’ll get my next novel, THE SACRIFICE – a fantasy romance about a malevolent god, a girl with wings (and a tremendous gift) and a stubborn Prince who works with her to bring the god down and free their people.

Summer will start out sizzling hot with two novellas. We’ll hike the Alaskan wilderness and run with wolves in FORCE OF NATURE, a spin-off novella set in the universe of The Elemental Destinies. That will be followed by BLAZE, the next installment in my Seasons of Love novella series, and we’ll be falling in love in the South Pacific for that one. We’ll end the summer with the release of this year’s second novel, DREAM CROSSED, a story about lovers from different centuries who meet up with a little magical help.

We’ll move into Fall with another Free Reads short story, then I’ll end my Seasons of Love novella series with BLUSTER, a story of a young witch trying to master her powers, and then we’ll move into the holiday season with the release of my third novel in 2020, SNOWBOUND. This is a contemporary romance about two people thrown together into a survival situation at Christmastime.

And then I’ll fall down and not get up for a while.

So there’s the plan. We’ll see if I can actually keep to it. Here’s to an ambitious year!
