Whoo hoo! I did it! I went on a writing marathon on my day off and before and after work, and I did it! I beat my deadline of the end of July!

Burn for You is book 1 in the new Gully's Fall BBW Romance series. It's available now on Amazon, All Romance eBooks and Smashwords in different ebook formats. Hopefully be available in Nook and Print soon. I'll let you all know as soon as I do.

As some of you guessed, the hero is a fireman. Now, over here in West Aussie, there are 2 kinds of firemen - the Firies who are in the towns and cities, and the Bushies who are the bushfire mob. I pumped my girlfriend's husband for information, seeing as he's a vollie fire fighter, and he went from being a Firie to a Bushie. Go figure. However, I've taken a few liberties with the story as I didn't want to mix them up, and heck, they live in a small town so I figure that whatever - they are hunky firemen! So I've kept it as authentic as I can. But they're HUNKY FIREMEN and you know what men in uniform do to me!

Sorry, got carried away and started drooling *wiping down keyboard*...and *top of desk*...and *around desk*...

Meanwhile, the big surprise...well, that didn't pan out. Originally, I meant to have this book as two shorter stories, kind of like two novellas. So Gully's Fall was supposed to be a series of duets - two stories in each book. So what happened? I tell you, these characters have a life of their own! Before I knew it, my hero and heroine had gallopped past the word count I'd allowed and turned my novella into a full-length novel!

So it looks like the Gully's Fall series will be full-length novels instead of 2 novellas in each book. Tossed out the Gully's Fall Duet sub title and just went with Gully's Fall

*sigh* I tell you, characters just run rampant sometimes.

Never mind, I guess that means I now have to start working on the next book - another full length novel - in the series!

Just going to have the rest of this week off to catch up on reading and watching some movies ('300: Rise of the Empire' is burning a hole on the bench near the TV waiting for me), then next Mondy I'll start the next book.

For more information on buying, the series, and the remaining three characters I need to write about, it's all on my website www.angelaverdenius.com.

Hope you all enjoy the story!

Whoo hoo! Fall for You (Kirk's story) is released today. For those who are kind enough to give ol' Kirk a go (okay, that sounds a little kinky, but you know what I mean ), I hope you enjoy his story.

Kirk gave me a few issues, as we all know (mostly because I have this habit of moaning and groaning my way through things and whining about it to everyone), but all things condsidered, I really like him. He's a good bloke. And Molly? She's a nice girl, and as for Kirk's pet, well...I hope you like Kirk's pet too! LOL

The old gang are back again, too, because what's a small town romance without good friends and old mates, right?

So enjoy, and I'm always happy to answer questions and have feedback!

Hi all

well, You're the One is released today. It's available in various ebook formats, and print will be available soon. The buying links are on my website www.angelaverdenius.com.

For any who buy it, I do hope you enjoy Moz and Del's story (and, of course, the kitties!). For those who don't want to buy it - no worries, but I hope you enjoy the cover *wink*

Now I'm starting Grant's story (the vet). This will be the final in the series, hope I can do it justice! LOL

Will catch up with you all again very soon, currently going like the clappers to update my website and do a quick newsletter release, then it's off to bed!

Yep, rather than do a pre-order and make you all wait, I thought it'd be a nice little Christmas present to release the book immediately.

The Wells Brothers: Aaron is available at Amazon.com, All Romance eBooks and Smashwords, also in print at Lulu.com.

Kobo, Barnes & Noble (Nook) and iBook links will be available as they come.

All buying links are on my website www.angelaverdenius.com as well as the excerpt.

Whoo!!!! Can't believe it's all done!!! *jig*jig*jig*

Good news - Christmas Blue at Fynn's is now available from Kobo, iBooks, Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes & Noble! The links are all on my website http://www.angelaverdenius.com






On another note, Mum had complications following surgery and was flown out to Perth to one of the big hospitals there, so my presence here for the next week or so will be spasmodic. So if you're waiting to hear from me, please know that I will reply as soon as I am able.

Meanwhile, have a very safe, blessed and Merry Christmas if I don't get to speak to you before then!

*hugs*

YES! Outlaw is now released! Whoooooo!!!

I tell you, I'm so excited for a couple of different reasons -

1. I love seeing this new cover up, and knowing the story has new content as well.
2. Now I can write a new book before I tackle the next in the series!

So, first, Outlaw is available now from Amazon, Smashwords and Playster. It will be available soon from Kobo, Barnes & Noble and iTunes, as well as print from Lulu. Keep an eye on the website for updated links.

As I have no clue how to do links on here without doing the whole link (yes, I know, what kind of a drongo am I? Well, for those who know me after all this time...nothing unusual there), all links are on my website www.angelaverdenius.com.

And now, for the new announcement...wait, is it new? Wait..yes, it is! I'm starting to plot the next NEW book today. I have 3 choices I have to choose from, and I'm torn, to be truthful. I have ideas for a horror, an urban fantasy, and a contemporary romance. Wait, let's just add a new sci-fi romance idea as well, because why not? So four choices to choose from and not a freakin' clue which one to pick first. I wish I could just write them all at once! But alas, I have to choose...and that choice has to be done today. So I better rattle my daks and get to choosing.

Oh - hang on. Just realised I have to build the little set of steps first. Yes, the set of steps so my older cats can get up onto my bed without struggling. I went on-line and found this set of steps that look like scratching posts, but they're staggered in height to provide a set of steps up onto the bed. How cool is that? Wish me luck - it just arrived this morning and I have to un-box it and put it together myself, and I'm a bit brain challenged at the best of times, so...wish me luck!

THEN I'll get onto making that choice.

Hooroo!!! (and if you hear a scream , that's me trying to put this step thing together)

Yes! The book is done and released into the big wide world!

Secrets is bk 1 in the new Hope Bay series - here's the spiel, folks!
*****************************************************

Welcome to Hope Bay, a small Australian seaside town where dreams come true, some souls come to mend, some to start again, and family and friends mean everything. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and live!
~*~

Working at the local GP Practice was a new beginning for RN Emma. Then along came her new boss, and suddenly her peace of mind - shaky to start with - was thrown into turmoil. Not only does she find him attractive, but she has a secret - a secret that could have unpleasant consequences.

Why, oh why, did he have to come along now?

Shane was instantly bowled over by the pretty, curvy nurse, and not just because she knocked him off his push bike at their very first meeting. It’s going to take more than charm to win this woman’s heart, but he’ll do whatever it takes.

He hadn’t planned on using her cat to get to her, but a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.

But when he discovers her secret, will he believe her…or will any chance at new beginnings and love turn to ashes?

~*~

* Because it has been so long since I had a new release out, and you've all been so patient (which I appreciate!), I have released the book straigth away rather than doing a pre-order. I do hope you enjoy it!

* available now in ebook at Amazon & Smashwords

* available soon in ebook at iBooks, Barnes & Noble and Kobo - check my website ( www.angelaverdenius.com ) for links that I'll put up as soon as they become available.

* paperback coming soon

For those who don't know, the Amazon link on my website is Universal, meaning it sends you to your country's Amazon store. If you prefer, you can still buy from the US store as well.

Hope you enjoy the book!

cheers

Whoooo!! YES! Finally, I have finished re-writing the book, Mercenary.

This was not just an editing job. This was a complete revision and re-write. I’ve added scenes and changed some scenes, and fleshed it out a lot more.

The beauty of being able to revise/rewrite this series, is that not only am I catching mistakes, but I'm able to build more into the storylines. For example, with the previous version, there were things happening that didn't quite make sense until you got to book 18. I don’t believe that’s fair to the readers (and being a reader myself, I know that’d annoy me personally) so this time I've included a lot more detail and explanation, so it's clearer.

I'm hoping people like it. I LOVE the cover. Melody Simmons did an awesome job, and has done all the covers for the entire series. Yes, people, I have ALL the covers already and they are ALL gorgeous. I can’t thank her enough. While I chose the characters, she blended them into such beautiful backgrounds and completely captured the feel of the stories.


Interestingly, sci-fi romance doesn't seem to be a popular subgenre. Years ago I remember it was a large part of the paranormal romance rage, but seemed to dwindle away over time, which is a shame as there is so much scope with sci-fi romances.


For those who might be hesitant to dip their toes into this subgenre of sci-fi romance, you might want to try Outlaw, the first book in the series, which I have put up for sale for 99c at Amazon for a few weeks. I just changed the price this morning so I think it can take up to 72 hrs for the changes to take effect, but check it out in-between as it often takes less time.

Mercenary is now on Amazon and Smashwords for sale, and will be available soon at Kobo, iBooks and Barnes & Noble. Please note - I have found that most sci-fi romance readers seem to be on Kindle Unlimited, but because I know some readers prefer Kobo/B&N/iBooks and Smashwords, Mercenary will be going up at these places for about 4weeks before I flip them to KU. Unless, of course, suddenly sales sky-rocket at these other places ;-) Or at least I get enough sales to warrant leaving it there. But so far, like I said, most sci-fi romance readers seem to be at KU.

Okay, I'm off to update the website and do a few more things. I have an awesome TV horror series I’m halfway through, the Diamond Mosaic painting I want to try, and some good books calling my name. After all this I’ll be taking 2 - 3 weeks off to enjoy my downtime in-between the day job, but also to do some other chores badly needing doing. Then after that I’ll start the next Hope Bay novel.

But I will still be on-line even during my downtime, so drop me a line if you wish!

Cheers!

Finally, Hunter,the 5th book in the sci-fi Heart's Desire Soul Destroyed series is done! Complete! Finito!
LOL
Fantastic cover (thanks to Melody Simmons). Check it out






BLURB

One savage night.
A child kidnapped, hurt in the very worst way.
A wench grown, now a bounty hunter.
She’ll hunt them down one-by-one.

The bounty hunter pack is closing in on their prey, Sabra can taste the victory.
Until she’s left dying in the snow.

One cold, bloody night.
He’s found her again.
A wounded wench, a childhood friend.

It will take all Cam has to save this lass.

If that’s not bad enough, plans are afoot, something more is happening in the galaxy, something that will touch them all - for evil dwells wherever man walks. Space pirates and outlaws, vengeance and murder…and something very alien.

*trigger warning child abuse* though the story doesn't go into a lot of indepth details about the abuse the heroine suffered at the hands of the space pirate, what is mentioned may be a trigger for anyone who has experienced it.

**
availble in ebook now from Amazon & Smashwords
ebook soon from B&N iBooks KOBO
soon in print
*please be aware that Hunter will switch to KDPSelect (Amazon exculsive) towards the end of September 2020
**

So now I'm going to do some last 'clean-up details' to do with a new release, then I plan to hit the sofa this afternoon with some horror movies. I've been going at this book hammer and tongs to get it done before I go back to work tomorrow! Then having a week or two off to recuperate before I hit the next Hope Bay novel.

Hope everyone is staying as safe as they can in this crazy world. I've seen some jaw-dropping things on TV (really, people? you REALLY did that?!).

The fires in California are horrific, my heart goes out to all caught up this terrible thing right on top of the pandemic.

Will catch up with you all again soon, I promise. It's been a crazy couple of months!

cheers

Well, I got this current re-write/re-edit done quicker than I expected! Obviously by the time I hit bk 6 of my old sci-fi series, my writing had improved ;-) No major rewrite, but some plot-hole fixing and some grammar correcting.

So Thief is now available from Amazon for Kindle.
Available soon at Smashwords, iBooks, Kobo and Barnes & Noble (Nook).
Print version coming.

Here’s the Amazon link: http://hyperurl.co/ThiefHDSD It’s a universal link so it’ll go to the main Amazon shops in several different countries, depending where you live. Check out the cover, it is soooo cool! Thank you Melody Simmons!

I’ll let you all know when the Nook, iBook etc becomes available.

Here’s the blurb: (and if you’ve never read this book, and you like cats and a laugh, then maybe check it out *wink*) This is definitely a more light-hearted read.

*********
All Lysie did was steal the handsome Argon’s jewels – twice. She hadn’t bargained on being trapped on his space ship. Now she had to figure out how to get away from a man determined to get his vengeance.

Marten had the little thief now, a Felys female with tortoiseshell hair, a purr to curl a man’s toes – and, unbeknownst to him, coming dangerously into heat.

The cyborg wants to kill her. Two hundred years he’s been hunting, and now he’s finally got this Felys in his sights.

*********
So now I’m doing the file clean-ups and all those other jobs that fell by the wayside while I madly worked on Thief! Even better, I have the day off from work, so I have all this time to do things!

Cheers!
