To write or not to write.

Hey,

I will apologise in advance for my little rant. Sorry.

As an author it can be quite a battle to get your work out there so people can read it. You not only worry over whether you are good enough or whether your book is exciting and people will enjoy it, but also if you’ll get reviews because lets face it, reviews, good or bad sell books.

I’ve noticed an increase of pirated copies of all my books lately, popping up on a lot of different websites. (Thank you Blasty!) If the download numbers are to be believed then some have been downloaded over 100 times, while I’m upset that people are reading my books for free, I’m also a bit proud that someone thought that people would enjoy them enough to want to pirate them!

But, the fact is, its another reason why a lot of authors decide to give it up or why it can take so long for the next book in the series to come out because it can make the author lose hope.

Anyway, instead of getting annoyed about it, I’m going to do something positive. From now until Christmas I’m going to put each of one my books up for free on Amazon. If you’ve been waiting to read one or all of them then keep an eye out.

First off, it will be Claiming his Love, this is a stand alone in the His Love series. It has mixed reactions on Goodreads, why not make up your own mind.

~ Book Two in the His Love series~

Chloe has been David’s personal assistant for nearly a year, and she’s been in love with him for just as long. Not having the confidence to tell him, she’s kept her feelings to herself.

One day, things change between them and suddenly she is faced with a bossy, alpha male who knows what he wants, and he wants her.

 

I loved writing David and Chloe’s story, they are so loving and he is so protective. Their book will be free from the 11th- 13th November. Enjoy.

Thanks for reading,

M.J

Reading

Hey,

I’ve been reading Unlikely Love the last couple of days and I have fallen in love for James all over again.

Someone has left a review stating that he was very alpha and my first thought was, nah, he’s not, he’s a pussy cat, but reading through I realised she was right. He is bossy, he likes to take charge and he definitely likes his own way. I love that about him, I like that Scarlett knows where she stands with him almost from the first time they meet and even though he has his moments, he is always there for her.

Here is one of my favourite James moments:

James placed the hot chocolate in front of me after he’d put marshmallows on the top and I gratefully closed my hands around the cup with a sigh.

He looked over and raised his eyebrows in question.

“How did this happen?” I asked.

“This? Do you mean being here with me or your sister being a pain in the ass?”

“Both,” I said.

He sat down and spun my stool round to trap my knees in his open legs; the movement was a shock because it was so intimate.

“You’re here with me so I can keep you safe while Matt tries to track down your sister. You had a choice, and you chose me. Even if you change your mind you’re still staying with me, you should know that if I have to handcuff you to my bed to stop you from leaving, I will.”

As warnings go, that was a good one, too bad I kind of liked that idea. My body heated at the thought of being at his mercy and I looked down to hide the blush burning my face. The pleasure I knew he could give me had me excited and fearful at the same time and I knew it wouldn’t take much to become addicted to him. It wasn’t a normal reaction; if a stranger told you he was going to handcuff you to his bed if you tried to leave; you should run, not picture it and become aroused at the idea of being at his mercy. I ignored my thoughts to argue with him, stubborn to the end, I refused to let him see the power he had over me.

“That will never happen. If I want to leave, I will and there’s nothing you can do about it.” I taunted.

“Is that right? Well, it’s a moot point anyway because you’re not going anywhere.”

“I could stay with the detective; he gave me his number to ring if I need to.” 

“That won’t happen and if he turns up to take you home with him all he will walk away with is a broken nose.”

I gasped in shock. “He seemed like your friend, why would you hit him?”

“Because if he comes here for you he’ll be trying to take what’s mine and I don’t share, not even with Matt.”

James sure is bossy but he is sweet too:

“Anything you want. I’d give you the moon if you asked me for it. It wouldn’t be easy, but I’d find a way.”

I have so many more favourite lines and quotes, but many are spoilers and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone.

New Changes

Hello,

I’ve been playing about with my wordpress site trying to make it easier to use. I’ve added links along with pictures and blurbs of all my books. Hopefully it is easier to navigate now.

I will try to update it more than I have been and hopefully i’ll have some new excerpts soon from the next book in the His Love series which will be Ryder’s story.

Also, I’ve taken Her Mistake out of Kindle unlimited, although its still for sale on Amazon its currently available on Smashwords, Ibooks, B&N and kobo.

Thanks for reading,

Free book

Hello,

I’ve decided to take Unlikely Love out of kindle unlimited for a while so it will be FREE for tomorrow only.

Description

~Scarlett~

I’m used to bailing my sister Ruby out of trouble, but this time I’m completely out of my depth.

One night while out looking for her, I find James instead.

He’s a bossy, sexy and arrogant man who takes it upon himself to protect me and keep me safe.

I’m not complaining because with my sister intent on making things worse I need his help, but my feelings for him confuse me and even as I’m worrying for my sisters safety as well as my own, I can’t stop thinking about how it would feel to have him kiss me. 

I’ve never believed in love at first sight, but I think I’ve just been proved wrong…

Claiming his Love excerpt

Hello,

It’s the summer holidays and I’ve hardly had the time to write, but David and Chloe’s story is getting there slowly.

I’ll be extremely happy when I write The end  

Unlikely Love is FREE!

Hey guys,

Unlikely Love is FREE from the 8th – 10th August.

Scarlett and James meet under complicated circumstances, made even worse by her sister Ruby who seems hell bent on stirring the pot. Scarlett is wary of James, but he knows exactly what he wants, and he wants her. Luckily she wants him too.

This story is about how 2 people can fall in love even with obsticles in their path.

Here is an excerpt of Scarlett meeting James for the first time…

I shook off my thoughts and looked towards the bar. My feet froze at the sight. The guy behind the bar wore a frown, but it didn’t stop me from thinking he was possibly the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. Not in a girly sense, this man was pure male; I could feel the testosterone coming off him in waves from where I stood. There was something almost mythical about him; his dark hair curled above the collar of his polo shirt begging to have my hands run through it and his green eyes, wow, they were so amazing I could lose myself in them.

The reason I came here slipped my mind, and I struggled to tear my gaze from his perfection. His lips looked so kissable I wondered how they’d feel pressed against mine, would he kiss me sweetly or would he ravage my lips taking them like he owned them?

He absolutely took my breath away. How could a man I’ve never seen before make me want him like this? I hurried to the bar hoping he hadn’t noticed my pause or the blush currently heating my cheeks. His eyes assessed me and his voice when he spoke was husky and oh so sexy it caused my whole body to shiver in longing.

Her Vampire Love

Surprise!

Its live!

Her Vampire Love is Dexter and Georgina’s story.

He wants her from first sight, so he sets out to make sure she feels the same…

One look was all it took to tell Dexter she was his mate and nothing was going to stop him claiming her, not even Georgina herself.

She needed a man to worship her, to take control, and punish her when she deserved it, but most importantly she needed a man to love her. It was a good job he planned to do that and more.

By the end of the night, Georgina would be his and she would never want for anything again.

Their story is short, but sweet and a little bit dirty. It’s quite different to what I’ve written before.

Happy Times!

Wow, so its probably not very exciting to some, but I made 500 likes on my Facebook page!

EEEEK!!

When I started writing books I used to stick them in a drawer and forget about them, moving on to the next one and doing the same. I never thought I would actually publish any, but thanks to my Husband and his support, I have.

Its scary having a piece of yourself out there for people to read and love, or hate but knowing my character’s have a voice is exciting all the same.

Anyway, to celebrate I’ve placed all my books at 99p for a limited time.

I would love to hear from anyone who reads them, good or bad thoughts are welcome.

 

Happy reading,

M.J  ❤
