Out Of The Ashes – Cover reveal & Release Date

It’s here! The cover for Out Of The Ashes, the third book in The Sons of Templar series. Bull’s story is one I’ve been so freaking excited to share with you all. You’ll be getting it on, drumroll please….March 1st. 

 

Living a life in darkness causes the soul to char to ash. Battling demons by turning himself into a monster is the only way he can survive…the only way he can keep a grip on sanity. That grip is precarious at best, every day is a silent battle with demons that threaten to yank him into the truest form of darkness, the abyss he’ll never escape. Then it happens. Light shines through the cracks.

Happiness. Mia Spencer’s life is full of it. She has an amazing new job, friends, family, and the light of her life – her daughter Lexie. Running from the demons of the past, escaping a hell that she vowed Lexie would never know about, she worked through hardship and near poverty to create something she was proud of. Buried deep inside, underneath the swell of love she had for her only daughter, were the fractured pieces of her. Pieces that were smashed and battered when she was young and vulnerable.

Then she meets Bull, who seems to hate her on sight. He screams danger, from his huge physique, to his beautiful ink, to the motorcycle club he belongs to. He is silent, his glares threaten to burn her into flames, yet she finds herself falling for him. Finds this broken man slowly fixing the pieces she thought would stay shattered forever.

 

Firestorm is Live!

After a frustrating delay, Firestorm is now live on Amazon! I apologise to everyone for the wait, I hope you can all forgive me. On another note, I’m so freaking excited that it’s finally here. I’ve been anxious to share Firestorm with you all, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. It seems like everything has been a bit of a whirlwind since I published Making the Cut. I was so not prepared for the amount of attention it would get. I honesty expected about three downloads (which I would have been happy with). But you all have given me so much love I’m overwhelmed with it. Every day I receive a message, a comment, a kind word from one of my readers is an awesome day. I truly appreciate and treasure everything you guys say to me.

With the soppy stuff out of the way, go and grab you copy of Firestorm! It’s available here.

Love you all

Firestorm

I am super excited to share the cover for book two in the Sons of Templar series and to let you all know the release date. Firestorm, Amy and Brock’s story will be hitting the digital shelves on the 21st of October. I cannot wait for you all to read it and I hope you’re ready for a bumpy ride, Amy and Brock’s road to a HEA is anything but smooth.

Amy Abrams doesn’t do love. Nor does she do emotional attachments, unless you count the connection she has with designer handbags. She grew up in an Upper East Side penthouse, which had about as much affection within its tastefully decorated walls as Castle Dracula. Her family is the precise reason why she points her red-soled heels firmly in the opposite direction of that dreaded four-letter word.
 
Then it happens. Love. It comes right out of the blue and knocks her off her six-inch heels. She learns that love comes with pesky side effects such as heartbreak, which seriously messes with the complexion. Amy promises herself that she’ll never open herself to that horrible feeling again. She doesn’t count on an infuriating, albeit drool-worthy biker to roar into her life and ruin the plans she had of locking up her heart. She keeps her distance, wary of the sinfully sexy biker whose tattoos should read Warning – dangerous alpha male, will screw up your life.
 
Amy may be an Upper East Side princess but she wasn’t looking for Prince Charming. She wouldn’t mind the name of his hair stylist, though. Brock certainly isn’t a knight in shining armor, but he consumes her, body and soul. Drama pulls them apart; danger will bring them back together. When Amy is threatened Brock is there ready to save her life. Her heart is another story.

Making the Cut – Cover reveal

Hey there everybody!

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now I have a snazzy new cover for Making the Cut which I am in love with, a huge thanks to Mayhem Cover Creations for doing such a great job! This is very exciting and the cover reveal for Book Two is to follow later on this week. I just wanted to address something before I get all excited about Brock and Amy’s story. As many of you know, Making the Cut was temporarily taken off Amazon to be re-edited and refreshed. It has come to my attention that somehow some readers have still been getting the old version, which sucks. I am currently in communication with Amazon about this and they have assured me that this little problem has been fixed. I have my fingers and toes crossed this is the case. I apologise to anyone who did receive the wrong version, I understand you should be able to update it in the ‘Manage My Kindle’ section of your Amazon account. If anyone is still receiving the wrong version, please don’t hesitate to give me an email, as I would love to know asap so I can ensure your Gwen and Cade reading experience is at its very best.

That’s all I’ve got to say for now, but I will be posting news about Book Two in the Sons of Templar series later this week, watch this space.

Book Two

So I thought I’d just give a quick update as to what is going on in my world at the moment. I’m currently neck deep in book two of the Sons of Templar series and I’ve been trying my hardest to keep away from the world wide web and all of the distracting dangers it presents. That my friends, is easier said than done. I’m about 99.9% sure I not only have an online shopping addiction but also a Pinterest addiction. This, coupled with a very demanding ‘real life’ schedule, means Brock and Amy’s story hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. That’s not to say I haven’t been writing, I have, but just not as much as I’d like to. In an ideal world I would have no distractions and could lock myself up in a cottage in the middle of nowhere back home and write all day long. Sadly, considering my wardrobe is not full of Christian Louboutin and Chanel, it is not an ideal world. I’ve also been grappling with my new title as ‘author’ and everything that comes along with it. I’m literally gobsmacked (this is a New Zealand word for shocked for my international readers) at the response Making the Cut has gotten and I’m seriously touched at some of the lovely messages I’ve received. It’s freaking awesome people like a story that gave me so much joy to write. It makes my day when I get messages from lovely readers.

Now that I’ve got people waiting for Brock and Amy’s story I find myself anxious to give it to them. My writing process is undertaken a bit of a stir up, considering Making the Cut was written over months and months. I wrote about half of it then took a break to backpack around Europe for a year. Cade and Gwen were still on my mind while I was traipsing around the continent and sleeping in hostels. In fact when I got home, I couldn’t get the rest of the story out quick enough, considering I had already written it in my own head. Now, I’m not planning anymore overseas trips in the near future, as much as the beaches of Greece are calling to me. So here’s the news. I’m hoping with my fingers and toes crossed, that book two will be out in mid October. I’m also hoping to have the cemented and definite date up for the world to see, along with the cover, in the very near future. I just wanted to write this post, as I’ve been getting a lot of people asking when they will get to read Brock and Amy’s story. October is the month you’ll be getting it in your hot little hands, or more precisely on your Kindle screens.

Keep your eyes peeled for the news regarding Amy and Brock’s story, which I am going back to writing right now. I’m not going on Pinterest or checking out the latest handbag I’m obsessed with, I promise.

Making the Cut – under construction

After a lot of thought and consideration I have decided to take Making the Cut off Amazon while it undergoes some changes. I need to clarify here, it will be available again soon, and the content, storyline and characters will all stay the same. I’m just resolving some technical issues. I honestly didn’t think Making the Cut would get as much response as it has and I’m beyond touched at all of the lovely messages I have received from my awesome readers! That said, I want it to be the best it can be so Gwen and Cade’s story gets told right. It will be back on the virtual shelves very soon, and I am still writing Brock and Amy’s story, the Sons of Templar aren’t going anywhere. Thanks again to my amazing readers who loved the book, and thanks to everyone who got in touch to tell me how much they loved it. I’ll keep everyone posted as to when Making the Cut will be available again and also on the progress of book two. Anne xxx

‘Making the Cut’ is live on Amazon!

So this is scary. Like really scary. My first book, my first blog post as an author. I’m really struggling with that title, I certainly don’t see myself as an author, as a writer. I just had an idea, a little world that was created inside my head,  ‘Making the Cut’ was born when I transferred that world from my head into print. The characters are very special to me, and continue to live on, even though I have finished the book. Maybe that’s because the story of the Sons of Templar MC is far from done, but lets first talk about where it started.

Gwen Alexandra does not need a man in her life. Especially not a man who looks like Chris Hemsworth and Joe Manganiello’s love child. One wearing leather, riding a Harley, and covered in tattoos.

Gwen can bet every pair of her Manolo’s that Cade Fletcher is trouble. From the moment she meets him, the attraction sizzles between them. Gwen has a problem when it comes to attractive men in motorcycle clubs. The last one she got involved with almost killed her.

After healing physically, Gwen decides to get a new start in a small town, half a country away from the man who nearly cost her her life. She isn’t in town five minutes when she runs into Cade, a man that is too sexy and dangerous for his own good.

She tries to keep away from him, to ignore the attraction between them. But the biker has other ideas, soon she is in way over her head. Her heart, and her life are in danger once again.

That’s the blurb from my Amazon page. It is incredibly weird to see my book for sale. Like people can actually buy it. And read it. And like it. Or hate it. I’m hoping people love Gwen and Cade as much as I do, for they have a special place in my heart. And I secretly hope there is a real, living, breathing man somewhere out there who personifies Cade. A girl can dream right?

Anyway, I hope you can take a chance on Gwen and Cade, you won’t regret it. Click on my book cover to head over to Amazon to check it out. And let me know what you think!

And if you love Gwen and Cade’s story as much as I do, please do leave a review on Goodreads or Amazon. I’ve also just launched my Facebook page, which is in serious need of some lovin, so if you want to give me a like that would be awesome!
