New Cover and Release Date!

I received this lovely new cover for TAINTED HEARTS last week and suspected my publisher was getting ready to release the book in print.

Today I found out my suspicion was right. Woo Hoo!

The print version of TAINTED HEARTS will release on Monday, July 11th and I'm thrilled!

I like the old cover, but I think this one is even better!

Hope you'll check it out!

It's Official – New Contract!

I'm thrilled to announce that I've just signed a contract with Ellora's Cave for THERIAN PREY, book one in my new shapeshifter series. Here's the blurb to give you an idea of what the stories will entail. I'll post other details as they become available. WooHoo!! I'm so excited.

Therian Prey

Therian Hunters, Book One

Before Carissa has time to react to her sister's disappearance, she is kidnapped and taken deep into the Colorado mountains. Her kidnapper swears he's protecting her, but Carissa doesn't know what to believe. He emanates danger, strength and raw sexuality. She's drawn to him, craves his demanding kiss, and the slide of his hard body against and into hers.

Quinn has always been an outsider, scorned and mistrusted by other Therian shapeshifters. Now he's in the middle of budding civil war and he's not sure how to disentangle himself without endangering Carissa. Though her powers are latent, Carissa has the potential of becoming the most powerful Therian the world has ever seen.

It was Quinn's intention to bring Carissa to safety and simply walk away, but one taste of her sweet lips and he knows he'll never give her up. She won't be truly safe until she's chosen her mate and he intends to be the one she chooses.

Rebel Angel Book Trailer

I revamped the book trailer for the Rebel Angel series. Hope you'll take a look.

Happy Holidays!

Hug someone you love this holiday season!

There can never be too much affection in the world

Blush will launch Jan 1, 20011

Cerridwen Press is Evolving

Notice I said evolving, not closing down.

Cerridwen has always been an offshoot of Ellora's Cave, so this change isn't really that big of a deal. Ellora's Cave has developed an imprint called Blush and all of the Cerridwen romances will become part of this new line.

I'll keep you informed as details become available.
