Tiger Striped in Audio is out!
Tiger Striped is now out in Audio! It is on Audible, plus look for it soon on iTunes.
https://www.audible.com/pd/Romance/Shifters-Unbound-Audiobook/B07DKQRS4G?
More exciting news is that Tiger Striped hit the USA Today bestseller list, in the top 50! That means it was in the newspaper, which of course I ran out and grabbed.
The Shifters Unbound series continues. I haven’t decided yet which couple comes next (agonizing), but I will soon, get a cover done, and we’ll roll!

Tiger Striped and More
Tiger Striped is out, if I haven’t blasted that around enough! I’m so pleased with its release–thank you, and I hope you enjoy it! I just now finished listening to the audio files and putting them through to Audible for a final check, so look for those in a couple of weeks.
Coming up–Ross’s book in the Riding Hard series is now available for pre-order! It will be available in print, e-book, and audio. (The print pre-order takes a little more time to fix up, but I’ll have it soon).

E-book and print! Audio is on its way!!
This is a series I struggle to find the time to write (contracts and deadlines wreak havoc with my life), so I’m thrilled I’ve at last done six books! Woot!
There will be more–things need to happen, but no spoilers here. :-)
I hope you enjoy Dragon Bites. I went into other characters’ points-of-view for this one, trying something new. You’ll hear from Mick, Colby, and Gabriella. I had a lot of fun!

Dragon Bites–Pre-order
Yay! Dragon Bites is DONE! It’s being edited as we speak.
Because my editor needs time to edit, plus I’ll have to go over the edits and tweak and then send it out for proofreading, a Feb pub date won’t work. I have moved the book to March 20 and put it on pre-order (once it’s on pre-order I can’t change it without dire penalty, so it will be out March 20).
Pre-order from:
Kobo, Google, Print, and Audio links coming soon!
I enjoyed going into different points of view in this one, so we hear from more characters than Janet (Mick, Colby, Gabrielle). It was fun to switch it up, and I hope you enjoy it.
Here’s the blurb:
“Maya and I are just trying to have a girls’ weekend in Vegas. Kick back, take in some shows … Then Gabrielle decides to tag along.
Now there’s a dragon slayer after Mick, gladiatorial games from hell, and a Vegas hotel full of trapped demons. When
Gabrielle and I charge in to assist, we don’t realize we’re awakening an ancient and terrible evil …
This evil is now after Gabrielle and her all-powerful magic, and it’s going to take me, Mick, Colby, and the rest of the dragons to keep my little sister safe.”
The book is about 300 pages, a full-length novel. It will be in print and audio as well as e-. So glad I was finally able to finish!

Updates–Many pre-orders and Stormwalker
I am so close to finishing Dragon Bites it’s scary. I probably have two or three chapters to write, and then the draft is done! I am still on track for a February release.
I am going into other points of view in this one instead of sticking with Janet alone. Colby’s POV, in particular is fun to write.
Still waiting for Audible to make Alec Mackenzie’s Art of Seduction available in audio. It’s been “in review,” since December 15. I have the feeling the holidays slowed everything way down. If I don’t hear anything by next week, I’ll start inquiries. (A bit frustrating.)
Pre-orders! So many right now:
Murder in St. Giles (Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries, book 13):
Global Kindle Link: myBook.to/MurderinStGiles
Nook
iBooks
Print, Kobo, Google, coming soon.
In April: Midnight Wolf: http://www.jenniferashley.com/jennifer-ashley-books/shifters-unbound/midnight-wolf/ Another Shifter!!!
In May: Tiger Striped http://www.jenniferashley.com/jennifer-ashley-books/shifters-unbound/tiger-striped/ A Tiger and Carly story! (The Kindle link will go live in Feb–I can only do 90 day pre-orders)
In July: Scandal Above Stairs (Kat Holloway Book 2). http://katholloway.com/the-books/scandal-above-stairs/ Join Kat and Daniel and friends for more adventures and sleuthing.
Doing a lot of writing–so much more to come!

Death Below Stairs Releases in e-, print, and audio
It’s out! I’m sure I’ve hit everyone over the head with this news, but I’m so happy Kat Holloway’s first full-length novel, Death Below Stairs, is out! Finally! I did a book signing at Poisoned Pen mystery bookstore yesterday, and it was nice to see the copies on the table.
My dh also saw them at Barnes and Noble.
This is also out in E-book (see http://katholloway.com/the-books/death-below-stairs/)
and Audio (https://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Death-Below-Stairs-Audiobook/B0789J8SHS/)
Thanks so much for making release week great! Scandal Above Stairs (Book 2) is out in July (you can already pre-order: http://katholloway.com/the-books/scandal-above-stairs/), and I just signed a contract for Book 3!
The cover for Book 2 is gorgeous!

Updates–Stormwalker; Alec Mackenzie in Audio
I know no one believes me that I’m working on another Stormwalker book, but I am–I’m about 1/3 of the way through Dragon Bites, with an eye to releasing in February. I’ve had to back-burner this series too many times, but late in 2016 year I signed a new contract with Berkley (the Kat Holloway series), and they wanted books lickety split! So I spent all this year writing two mystery novels and another Shifters Unbound, plus getting caught up on my Riding Hard, Captain Lacey, and Mackenzies series. I *finally* have time for Dragon Bites!!
This is the only book I’m working on at the moment (a little proofreading of other books on the side, but I’m only actively writing Dragon Bites). I swear this one will be out in February! I already have my editor lined up, the cover done, and everything going.
Second announcement is that I have Alec Mackenzie’s audio files back from Angela Dawe. Now it’s just listening to those and submitting them to Audible–Audible processes them, and then they’ll be live. Audible takes a couple weeks to do things their end, and it’s the holidays, so I’m not really expecting these to be available for sale until after Christmas, but we might be surprised.
I love what I’m hearing so far!

Alec Mackenzie’s book is out!
Alec Mackenzie’s Art of Seduction is available everywhere! The print book can take a week to move out to all the vendors worldwide, but it will get there. Angela Dawe is working on the audio book–I have heard the first chapter and it sounds wonderful so far! Audio process takes a while, so that will be available in December sometime (I’ll update when it’s out).
Meanwhile, Alec’s book can be found in e-book and print here:
Amazon
iBooks
Nook
BN Print
Kobo
Google Play
I’m getting back to work with more writing. Hope to have some covers to show you and books to put on pre-order! More Stormwalker, mysteries, Shifters, and Riding Hard on their way!

Death Below Stairs Starred PW review
I was thrilled to learn that Death Below Stairs received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly! No easy feat! I am pleased the reviewer enjoyed it. It begins: “Set in 1881, this exceptional series launch from Ashley (the Shifters Unbound series) introduces Kat Holloway, a brilliant cook employed in the lavish London home of Lord Rankin.”
Read the entire review here: https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-399-58551-7
If you have not read the sorta prequel novella to this series, A Soupçon of Poison you can do so for free in the e-book version of the anthology, Past Crimes:
http://gardnermysteries.com/books/anthologies/past-crimes/
Meet Kat Holloway, the 29-year-old cook working in the lavish houses of Victorian London, Daniel McAdam the mysterious man who appears without warning in Kat’s life, his 15-year-old son, James, and other important people in Kat’s life. She’s accused of murder and must work to prove her innocence, with Daniel’s help.
This series is a labor of love–I hope you enjoy it!
