Coming To Print – Someday In Dublin!

dub2_Cov

Take a good look at the cover, because it’s only going to be teasing you for a little while longer. I’ve decided to take Someday In Dublin to print!

And that means I really, really need a good, professional-grade cover. My mock up might be fine for an e-book, but if I’m going to be asking people to pay print-on-demand prices, they deserve the best I can make it, from the inside out.

Colleen at Mystique Book Designs is hard at work on my cover (she did the covers of my Seeder Saga novels as well as the amazing cover for my YA book) and it’s looking terrific! Can’t wait to show you the finished design when it’s ready!

As of right now, I’m planning to launch the book within the next two to three weeks — I was hoping for an April launch originally, but I just landed a paying writing gig that’s slowing me down a bit – and I’ve gotten some beta-reader feedback that I’m digesting as well.

And of course, along with the print-on-demand package, the book will also be offered as an e-book through both Smashwords and Amazon.

I appreciate all your patience – I promise, it’ll be worth the wait!!

One American Girl, One Irish Guy, One Wild Irish Weekend – Someday In Dublin!

Dub_Cov

Amy travels to Dublin on a whim, desperate to escape her life and reconnect with her carefree, younger days. She assembles a list – an Irish ‘bucket list’ of sorts – for her whirlwind weekend, planning every single detail…

Except for Michael. She never saw him coming.

When they connect at a crowded bar, sparks fly and Amy’s plans become twice the fun, until a secret changes everything between them, altering the course of two lives.

Can Amy find her spirit and rekindle her passion? Can Michael face his inner demons and find the absolution he needs? And can an unseen force bring them together to find what they need in each other?

Find out….Someday In Dublin!

So Here’s What I’m Working On Next…The Elemental Series

elements

I’m in final edits for Someday In Dublin, which means the greater majority of that book is in the can. Whew! And now I can really begin hammering out the next project – The Elemental Destiny Series.

This is going to be a four part work – four individual full-length novels with protagonists based on their affinity for one of the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. They won’t be releasing in that order – it’s more like Air, Water, Earth and Fire, but you get the gist of it.

Each of these characters lives partly in the supernatural world, though they are very firmly rooted in present-day earth. I’ve been kicking this one around for a good, long while, outlining and reworking the outline and fleshing it out.

One of my biggest complaints about The Seeder Saga (and I can’t help but think it was an issue for the readers) is that Books 1 & 2 are essentially stand-alone books, up until their final chapters. That’s mainly because when I wrote the first one, I hadn’t really planned for a trilogy, and then I was halfway into book two and could only hint at the plot of book three by introducing you to its hero in a passing manner.

Everything comes together in book three, with a lot of great callbacks and visits to our friends in books one and two, but they don’t really have the cohesive feel I’d like out of a series.

This one will have that, and an intricately woven plot that centers around a series of mysteries that reveal themselves through the course of the series, culminating in life-or-death decisions that will affect the entire human race.

This one is going to take a while to churn out, but it’ll be worth it, I promise. In the meantime, you’ll have Somewhere In Dublin, and I’ll toss a few more novellas your way to keep your blood pumping, I promise.

Off to work I go!

And Here It Is – Your First Teaser From “Someday In Dublin”

Someday in Dublin

This is a sexy, steamy romance novel. You know how I love my steam, but this one…this one is mostly about the romance.

I mean, this is pure, straight-on romance. This is Mr. Darcy, touching your hand in a crowded ballroom. This is John Cusack standing outside your window with a boom box. This is Khal Drogo looking you in the eyes as you sit astride him.

You get what I mean. This story is a love story, set in the present day, with no gorgeous aliens or fantastical realms, like I usually like to escape to. This time, I escaped to Ireland, and oh, what a journey we go on with this one.

So here, for your reading pleasure, is a bit of Michael and Amy’s introduction. Enjoy! Continue reading

Why Novellas When I’m Already Writing Novels? #amwritingfantasy

hunter_cov

As I’ve mentioned before, my new novella, “Captured By The Hunter” will be out tomorrow! I have to tell you that I loved the hell out of this one. Jodan was tremendous fun to write, and the dynamic between these two…whoo baby. When you add in Sci-Fi or Fantasy, sex can go all kinds of fun places.

This is one of my longer novellas, and I briefly toyed with the idea of making it a full-on novel, but in the end, it just wasn’t going to happen. I have (and I’m not kidding) NINE books on horizon. I’m finishing up Somewhere In Dublin, then I’ve got a four part fantasy romance series waiting in the wings. I’m also working on a non-fiction book, parts two and three of a YA series and another YA novel under my other pen name. Adding yet another novel onto the pile (especially when I really, really wanted to write this story NOW) just wasn’t going to fly.

So you get a more condensed (and intense) version, and new readers get a glimpse of where I go when I get to build the universe my characters live in.

I call that a win/win.

So look for the new novella, available tomorrow on Amazon for Kindle and Smashwords for all e-reading devices and PC!

Here’s a blurb, to give you a taste:

Zephyr Jamieson is a pirate, sailing the seas of a magical realm. He encounters a beauty named Rina, a woman with a body that sets him aflame and a secret that she cannot tell. Rina barters passage aboard Zephyr’s ship for herself and her secretive twin brother with the only thing the pirate captain appears to be interested in. Can eight nights at sea lead to more? Or will her secret tear them apart?

Set your countdown clocks – Eight Nights At Sea goes on sale soon!

Ready For Some More Tidbits? Here’s A Scene From Rain In The Moonlight

Rain in the MoonlightCov

Rain In The Moonlight is the second book of the Seeder Saga, and the lead characters were so incredibly intense to write. Their chemistry and particular their backstories are incredible, and the book takes a couple of unexpected turns before they work out whatever it is between them.

In this scene, we see Rain trying to reason with Ajan, who has been sent to capture the leader of the River Valley. He ends up captured himself, but Rain realizes soon enough that his skills could come in handy in their battle against the encroaching Mountain city. Now she has to convince him to work with her, instead of against her. Continue reading

SkyWoman Rain in the MoonlightCov Changeling


You know how I loooove my steam. Today, I’m giving you another tiny taste of “Sky Woman,” the first novel of my Seeder Series.

Miri is an earth girl who finds herself waking up on another planet, and soon in the care of three gorgeous brothers, all hell-bent on wooing her.

Two Books To Choose From! Help Yourself To Some Steam!

Changeling      ?????????

That’s right – Not one but TWO ways to get some heat going this Valentine’s week. Book Three of the Seeder Saga is now out on Amazon!

Changeling is the story of Lizzie, who gets kidnapped from Earth by a handsome stranger. It turns out her father was from another planet, and embroiled in a plot that threatens mankind all over the galaxy. She’s thrown together with Indar, a member of the Seeder Corps, and together they’re going to have to figure out a mystery that spans time and space – that is, if they can keep their hands off each other long enough to do so. Along the way, they’ll meet up with Miri, Raine, and their men – all of whom prove valuable in solving an intergalactic puzzle. This book contains strong sexual content and is not suitable for readers under 17.

Ready in Red takes place on Valentine’s Day, when a girl shouldn’t be alone with only Netflix for company. Val gets pulled out to a bar by a friend in need, only to find a hot and friendly bartender who makes her very glad she remembered to wear her matching red lingerie that morning. She’s primed and ready for a steamy night, and Zach more than delivers.This book contains strong sexual content and is not suitable for readers under 17.

Both of these books were tremendous fun to write. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed bringing them to you. I’m now partway through my next endeavor – this time a contemporary romance. Stay tuned!
