Tuesday Tease + release date+ Cover reveal

A trifecta of perfection! The Tuesday Tease, a release date for The Solitude of Passion, and a cover reveal for 3:AM KISSES!!!

First: THE SOLITUDE OF PASSION will officially release on Tuesday, August 13!!! *happy dances* *throws confetti* I was shooting for a tad bit sooner but I think this will be perfect. That being said, here's the awesome cover and blurb:



When old love and new love collide an impossibility is born.
When Lee Townsend’s husband leaves on a community outreach to China, the last thing she expects is for him to never come back—for him to have tragically met his demise.
Lee goes on to marry his adversary and settles into life and business with him, merging her vineyard with his and creating a worldwide conglomerate.
Five years later a twist of fate brings the past back to her and forces Lee to make a decision that will change the landscape of her life forever.
Secrets emerge, forcing relationships to be examined—magnifying the surprising true underpinnings of her marriage to both Mitch and Max. 
Lee’s heart is unwilling to surrender her love for either Mitch or Max.She must choose to carry forward with the past or present. 

Lee has a choice to make.Mitch can’t figure out how to win.Max never loses.Worlds collide in THE SOLITUE OF PASSION

*I hope you fall madly in love with Lee, Mitch, and Max like I did. This is a contemporary romance with steamy scenes and some serious heart-wrenching. I love spending time in their world and I hope you will, too. :)

On to the Cover reveal for 3:AM KISSES!!!

 Is that HAWT or what?!!! lol! I was blown away with it. The cover art was created by the fabulous Regina Wamba and her gorgeous models Dylan Prichard and Julia Plan.  *I'm shooting for a tentative release date of September 17th. I'll let you know in a few weeks if this is a hard date.Here's the blurb!
3:AM KISSES
Baya Brighton is looking forward to her first year at Whitney Briggs University, new friends, dorm life, and finally being close to her brother again. Love is the last thing on the list, but when Baya meets her brother’s roommate she begins to have thoughts and feelings that make even her blush. Bryson Edwards has a secret he prefers buried in the past and long forgotten. He prefers loose girls, fast cars, and long nights working at the string of bars his family owns. When his roommate’s sister shows up on the scene, she’s far too innocent and sweet for him but he can’t shake Baya out of his mind and worse, it looks like she’s seeping into his heart as well. Baya seems determined to show her brother she’s not a little kid and equally determined to use Bryson’s body to prove her point. It’s been made pretty clear that Baya is off limits to Bryson but their undeniable sparks explode into a whole lot more than just a few 3:AM KISSES.

I hope you enjoyed! I'm counting those as teasers. ;) 
On to the rest of the teasers:
ENTROPY (The Countenance Trilogy 3)*Cooper’s POV
Laken sits on the couch, braiding Marky’s hair while I catch up on the sports news on my laptop. It all feels so natural, so easy—right. To me it seems pretty clear we should be together, and if last night was any indication, she feels the same way. 

CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER* Skyla’s point of view
“I don’t want to think about it anymore.” I pull him in and fall into a heated kiss.This is it. This is our moment. All of the waiting, the anticipating, is coming to a head and now there was only love to make. Every craving we’ve ever had is ready to unleash.“Shit.” He pulls back wild-eyed.“What’s wrong?”

*Hope you enjoyed! I'm trying my hardest to get Logan's POV to you on Friday~! See you then! 

Cover reveal for Someone to Love + excerpt from Someone Like You!

I've been waiting, dying to show you the brand new cover that Skyscape (Amazon) came up with for Someone to Love!  Let me preface this by saying the people over at Skyscape have been nothing short of amazing and one hundred percent supportive of the Someone to Love series. Pre-orders for paperbacks of Someone to Love are already available (to be released late October)! And pre-orders for Someone Like You, which releases in January, are already available as well!
So... here it is!


Hawt, right? It puts me in the mood for some Kendall and Cruise all over again. *swoon*

But, for now, here's a sneak peek into Ally and Morgan's story (Kendall's bestie and big bro), from Someone Like You. 


*Morgan's point of view(Morgan and Ally at the beach)
A layer of salted air clings to our skin as we get out of the truck.“It’s not this humid back home,” I say without thinking as we walk down a small hill on our way to the beach.Perfect. Remind her you’re leaving in a couple weeks. Shit. “Oh”—she wraps her arm tight around my waist—“it’s not like this all year.” My body goes weak thinking we might be able to count on one hand how many more times we can do this. “Fall is my favorite time of year,” she says. “The colors are outrageous, and the air goes frigid right after Labor Day. It’s amazing the way nature just knows to do that.” She says that last part quiet, drawn out, as we stroll down to the powder white beach. “I like fall, too,” I say it quiet, somber as a eulogy as we wade through the warm sand.A set of boulders sits near the hillside. A few palms offer the area shade so we migrate over. I lay out the blanket, and we toss our stuff down. My wallet has a condom snug inside in the event we decide to get enthusiastic with our bodies. Ally tilts her head seductively and smiles with those strawberry-colored lips. Her eyes lower to slits as she reaches down and pulls off her T-shirt, revealing a barely-there red string bikini. She peels off her shorts, and my dick pulsates just taking in the bandage of a bottom held together with a few measly strings. Suddenly I’m overcome with the urge to unwrap her like a present. I’m enjoying the hell out of the fact her bottoms are equally as pleasantly scant as the top.“Hot damn girl,” I say, pulling her in by the waist.“Your turn.” She plucks my shirt off and runs her hands over my chest in a series of achingly slow circles.“You’re pretty good at that,” I say, picking up her hand and kissing each of her fingertips.“Stripping?” Her eyes widen as if a slap were next on the agenda if I admitted it.“No.” I push out a little laugh. “Taking my clothes off.” I gently pull her in by the face and give a playful bite to her bottom lip. “I’m going to have to keep you around, Ally.” Shit. Did I just go there again? Is there any way to get through this afternoon and not depress the hell out of us by bringing up the not-so distant future? I mean it’s obvious Ally and I have a future, right? What the hell am I saying? Of course we do, a brilliantly long one—paved with happiness and hot sex right through to our golden years and beyond. “Are you going to keep me around?” Her features soften as if she had started it out as a smartass remark, then it became a general interest question that directly affects her wellbeing.“Hell, yes.” My lungs pump out some serious steam as if I ran all the way here from Cruise’s cabin. “You’re all I’ve ever wanted.” I mean every word—serious as death. “And, you’re…”—a smile twitches on her lips—“it!” she screams, slapping me on the chest and taking off toward the waterline.“Hey”—I shout, taking off after her—“that hurt, Ally. You’re going to have to kiss it to make it feel better.”
Hope you enjoyed! Thank you for reading a small bit of Someone Like You. I cannot wait to share the rest of the extra steamy read with you in January!

~The Tuesday Teasers!

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to the Tuesday Tease! I hope summer is going great for you. I’m loving it in both the real world and the imaginary world where I spend most of my time. Summer is sizzling in the trio of heated romances I’m working on. And I promise I have not forgotten about Logan’s naughty POV! I’m still on cloud nine over Logan’s utopYA win. (Janet if you’re reading this I heart you for all the hard work you put into it! utopYA was fantastic :)News! Skyscape (Amazon) is ready to reveal the new cover for Someone to Love! It’s gorgeous and I’m super excited to share it with you. I was going to wait all the way until next Tuesday, but I think I’ll do a cover reveal this Friday along with an extended teaser of Someone Like You (book 2)! Turn up the AC because Morgan Jordan is hawt~! More news! I’m sunk, deep, deep, deep in edits but ~major~ progress is being made. Books are flying to betas and editors and cover designers. I have a plan of action and it involves 3 different yummy books.  Hopefully I’ll have two more cover releases very, very soon, as in next Tuesday. Fingers crossed.
On to the teasers~!
THE SOLITUDE OF PASSION
*Lee’s POV It’s hard to know what’s real and what isn’t when you’re still trying to pick the pieces of your heart off the ground. But the order of the universe reversed itself—it took my heartbreak and exchanged it for something far more palatable.
3 a.m. Kisses (New Adult)
(Baya’s Point of View, with Bryson.)
“You don’t have to practice your pick up lines around me. I’m not really in your league.” I glance down at the rim of my coffee.Honestly? Could I have let fifteen minutes go by without dragging us into the awkward zone?“I don’t have a league.” He opens the tiny pink donut box with half a dozen sugared treats staring back at us. “But if I did, I’m pretty sure I’d let you in.” He gives a lopsided grin before his demeanor grows all too serious. “If I had my way, you’d be the only one in it.”
ENTROPY (The Countenance Trilogy 3)
*Laken's POV
“You’re either a lover or a fighter.” Wes looks at me with those lawn green eyes and my stomach melts on command. He steps in close and his breath rakes over my cheek.“I’m caving,” I whisper.“Cave.”Shit. This is so not going to end well. Where the hell is Coop?
 CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER
* Skyla’s point of view (Marshall holds out a salamander that tried to crawl up Skyla’s leg)
“Get that thing away from me.” I hop to the other side of the table.“Now, now—it’s no bigger than a garden snake.”“It’s prehensile and wants to touch me in delicate places.” I shudder at the thought because it so almost did. “It’s officially my enemy.”Marshall leers into me, a dirty smile plays on his lips but he won’t give it.“I’ve something prehensile that wants to touch you in delicate places.”“Yes, well, according to your inter-dimensional jaunts, you already have.”The door slams behind us and I jump at the sight of Gage. He’s got a fire in his eyes, and I can tell he’s about to cure Marshall of ever wanting to touch me in delicate places again.
Enjoy the week! See you Friday for the cover reveal of Someone to Love!

The Tuesday Tease~!

*If you're looking for the NA blog hop click here!


Welcome back to the Tuesday tease! It feels like a small eternity has gone by since just last week. I want to thank everyone who came out for the book signing at the Pomona Mining Company last Friday, it was a blast! I especially want to thank Julie Prestsater for putting on such a fab event, and the sweet and AWESOME Jodi Murphy for being my lovely assistant that evening. Jodi truly rocks so if you get a moment please check out her blog Butterflies, Books, and Dreams where she's raffling off some of the merch she had signed. Big thank you to reader and long time blog follower ~Mila~ for showing up and chatting with me about all things Celestra. That really made the night special. :)

In a strange turn of events I now have a personal assistant, the ultra amazing Tamara Beard! She helped me navigate the minefield of Pintrest boards everywhere and we pinned and gawked at hawt guys to our hearts content. (And if my husband is reading this, we totally just pinned boring stuff all day long.) Anyhoo, check out the board. It was really fun, and I especially love the placeholder covers that Tamara made for me so be sure to check those out, too! Link: Pin me baby one more time! 

Book news! Awesomeness occurred last week when I found out you can pre-order Someone Like You, the second book in the Someone to Love series that's being published by Amazon (Skyscape). Here's the pre-order link if you're interested. The book officially releases in January.

I'm on a HUGE writing jag this month, soon to be followed by a HUGE editing jag, so I'll be in the cave mostly. I hear it's summertime out there in the real world, try to stay cool.

gah! Almost forgot. If you missed Marshall's ~steamy~ point of view blog post last Friday click here or scroll down a few posts. Marshall was simply... well, Marshall. 

On to the teasers...


THE SOLITUDE OF PASSION*Lee’s POV
Mitch brushes his lips against mine before pulling back, gauging me for my reaction. He offers a sad smile before dipping in and covering my mouth with his. Mitch detonates with achingly slow, unwavering kisses. The universe starts up again. It’s as though it had stalled, and, now, with Mitch here, it was firing on all pistons—nothing but a cataclysmic echo of exploding stars, an entire meteor shower of sorrow and pleasure intertwined—a comet of lust with a tail as wide as the sea.


3 a.m. Kisses (New Adult) (Baya’s Point of View, with Bryson.)
“Okay!” I scream through my laughter. “You win.” I fall back on the boulder and he rolls on top of me, refining his torment technique.“Say uncle.”“Uncle!”“Say, Bryson’s the best.” He slows his movements while I try to catch my breath.“Bryson’s the best.” It gurgles from my throat with a scream. “You’re great, and I’m not.” My hands tracks down low on his waist and he catches me by the wrists.“I think you’re pretty great, Baya,” he whispers just over my ear. Our eyes lock with a magnetic pull. I place my hand over the back of his neck and rise to meet his lips.

ENTROPY (The Countenance Trilogy 3)
*Cooper’s POV
I barrel out of the English building after my close encounter of the Edinger kind and stop shy of the final few steps. There they are. Wes holds Laken right under the statue of Asterion with his hands low at her hips. Just the sight makes me want to kill him, and I wish to God that glorified piece of copper would rouse to life and chomp Wesley’s head off in one clean bite.“I’d pay with my soul to see Wes verses the Minotaur,” I whisper below a breath, and Asterion startles to life. His jaw unhinges wide like a piranha just as Wes leans into her for kiss.Sh*t.

CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER
*Gage’s point of view(Gage talking to Ellis about Skyla at the bowling alley.)
“Tell her to get in”—Ellis points hard at his crotch—“or get the eff out.” He sprays the gear solvent in the air and takes another sniff.“Would you give me that?” I don’t hesitate snatching it from him. “And I’m not giving her some stupid ultimatum. Besides, I’ve already got a game plan.”Harrison loses himself in a minute-long howl. “Effin’ Oliver.” He slaps my back so hard I swear I felt a vertebrae pop. “The man with the plan.”
Hope you enjoyed!
Happy summer everyone!

Someone to Love
What happens when two people who don’t believe in love, happen to fall madly into the most beautiful relationship they could ever imagine? A train wreck.
When twenty-year-old Kendall Jordan transfers clear across country to Garrison University, the last thing she’s looking for is a one-night stand. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what, gorgeous, Cruise Elton offers.
Kendall has long since come to realize that love is an illusion that never lasts, and Cruise couldn’t agree more—but something deep inside her wants him all for herself. So, Kendall devises a seat of the pants plan to “play the player” and proposes that Cruise tutor her in becoming a female version of himself, Garrison University’s own playboy.
Real feelings begin to emerge, and neither Kendall nor Cruise know how to classify them. Everything they once thought they knew is redefined as they discover, in one another, Someone to Love.

Once upon a light drive

Gather Kittens,
Marshall Dudley, here. The following is for your pleasure only, and, well, that of Ms. Messenger. But, for obvious reasons, she isn’t yet informed of the salacious circumstances that wait for her in the foreseeable future. Some things are better discovered in the natural order of events. However, for the sake of today’s dalliance, I’ll invite you to sneak a peek beneath the sheets.Shh… come this way.I trot downstairs to find Ms. Messenger has kindly let herself in, and is already moping about the kitchen, holding the refrigerator door open as if staring at the food might play a part in digestion. “An Oliver got you down?” It’s a formality to ask at this point. I snap up the leather whip from the corner and check my hair in the reflection of the window. Then I see her—the woman of my dreams—traveling from the future just to please me—headed off to the barn for our afternoon romp. A smile begs to form on my lips but I won’t give it lest Skyla think I’m relishing her hormonal hysteria.“You know the drill." She comes over—her perfume is sweet as honeysuckle. "It's practically a daily requirement for me to moan over those boys."  I touch her cheek with the tip of the leather and move my efforts south until I hit the lip of her jeans. I frown at the devilish denim—tight as hell. It’s the modern day chastity belt  the way its torture to take off, and, yet, the plebeians of this generation will be the last to realize it.    “Where are you off to?” Her expression dims. Her eyes fall to my opened shirt, and her lips part. “Rumor has it, there’s a restless animal in the barn.” I take a step into her until my lips are inches away from hers. “A very naughty, naughty, animal who needs to be disciplined—on her knees, among other subservient positions.”She swallows hard. Her heart echoes over mine.I take a step back and examine her in this pre-coital flux, delighting in the fact that in just a few mere minutes I’ll be able to alleviate her tension in the most sinfully expectant manner.“Is something wrong?” I peer at her with my lids lowered, my fingers brushing against her thigh.“No.” She comes to as if waking from a trace. “What’s that thing in your hand, anyway?” Her nose crinkles and makes her look every bit adorable.I crack the whip over the counter, and it cuts the air with a crisp, satisfying snap.“This, my love”—I hold it up for her inspection—“is for both your pleasure and your pain.” I glide it softly over the side of her cheek, causing her lids to flutter—her breathing to grow erratic. I slip past her, out the back, and make my way to the barn. A soft glow emits from inside, and I find my bride on her knees wearing the period piece I’ve requested—a ladies dress with full corset and bustle. That devilish smile I’ve grown to appreciate greets me, and my body rouses to life at the sight of her.“Candles? In a barn, Skyla? Really?” I growl as I make my way over. “You’re going to burn us to the ground before we have the chance to launch one another into the stratosphere.”“You’re right.” She bends over severely, and her cleavage blooms as it spills from her corset. “We’ll burn this place down all right, but the fire will come from you and me.” She lifts her dress just past her thighs and arches her head back to better see me. I glide the riding crop toward her and lift her skirt ever so higher.“Where to begin?” It comes from me sharp like a command.“Let’s begin”—her hands move to the front of my jeans in one smooth stroke—“right here.”

Two hours later…  (Celestra Forever After)*Skyla’s POV
“Where were you just now?” I lean in with suspicion. “You look like holy hell.” I take him in with his rumpled hair, his shirt unbuttoned down the front, his rock hard abs slicked with sweat. “If I didn’t know better…” I let the words hang in the air so thick you could hook a coat on them. A sly grin plays on his lips as he stares out the window.“You do know better, don’t you, Ms. Messenger.”“Who is she?” It comes from me barely audible.He cuts a quick glance in my direction and reverts his gaze back out toward the barn, guilty as hell.“Oh God, no.”“I believe the words you used just moments before were, ‘Oh God, yes, yes, yes.’”“Shit.”“Language.” He gives a sly smile as he walks on by.

The Tuesday Tease~!

Welcome back to the Tuesday tease! Hope everyone enjoyed the Fourth! I’ve had a busy, busy, writing week. Lots of edits were done on The Solitude of Passion with lots of edits to come. (Blah) This is my third year working on this book. It’s been a very loooong gestation. The word count is ginormous so that explains the harrowing edit. I hope to birth it to the e-book shelves very, very soon. It’ll be available in a hard copy as well. I feel so fancy.  Also, I’ve got three other books on the burner this month. I’m trying to be as productive as possible but that darn summer sun keeps calling my name—plus, I keep threatening to clean the house. Thankfully that horror hasn’t come to fruition yet. Anyway, I digress.
Marshall is busy “crafting” his point of view post, and I have to keep censoring him. If he doesn’t turn down the heat I’m going to have to put one of those “adult warnings” on my blog. Sneaky Sexter. Logan’s POV is shaping up to be pretty steamy as well but his thoughts are a little more tame in comparison (a little). Unfortunately, Marshall has involved a riding crop in his vignette. *breathes* I know.The Point of Views will be their own posts and hopefully the first one will be out on Friday. I’m actually having another book signing this Friday in Pomona with a fab group of ladies so I’ll be traveling, but I’ll see if I can’t convince Mr. Dudley to tone it down by then. It will make for a hot weekend, that’s for sure. ;)
I’m debuting my New Adult novel, 3 a.m. Kisses, in the teasers down below. I have the fab Regina Wamba working on the cover and I cannot wait to share it with you! 3 a.m. Kisses will come out on the heels of The Solitude of Passion in the event you’re wondering about the order of the books.Teasers anyone???
THE SOLITUDE OF PASSION 
*Lee’s POV (alone with Max)
I run the pad of my finger over his ear, tug at his lobe before tracing the outline of his brows, the bridge of his nose, his soft, full lips. “You’re a masterpiece,” I whisper. God can be very proud of this one. A Davidian beauty. David was flawlessly beautiful, perfectly handsome, and it’s so true of Max in every possible way.“No, Lee, I believe that would be you,” he teases, pulling a kiss off my lips like he was stealing the moment.
ENTROPY (The Countenance Trilogy 3)
*Laken’s POV (Laken with someone…)
I cover his lips with mine and dissolve under the duress of his achingly sweet affection. Every part of me wants to break—to exhale—to give in to the release of this incredible tension. I should put it off—tell him we'd better wait, that this isn’t the time or the place, that hearts are still on the line—but I don’t.
3 a.m. Kisses (New Adult) (Baya’s Point of View, talking to Bryson about… well, you can probably guess.)
“I don’t know anything about that kind of stuff.” I glance down at my shorts a moment. “I want to know everything. I want you to teach me.”“I will.” He swims up beside me and rumbles in my ear with a kiss. His heart beats over my shoulder like a hammer straight to the bone. “I plan on leaving no stone unturned, Baya. Believe me, I’ll be thorough with the lesson.” Bryson growls into his words as if there were a psychotically sexy threat imbedded in there somewhere, and my insides cinch.

CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER*Skyla’s point of viewLogan speaking with Skyla
“I know all of your kisses, all of your smiles, your frowns, I can decipher every sigh that blows from your lips—you must know that I love you.”I give a quick nod, my eyes still stuck on his shoes. He tucks his finger under my chin and lifts me gently until we’re eye to eye.“Skyla”—he breathes my name like a dream—“don’t cry for tomorrow when you have today.”

*I hope you enjoyed the teasers! Stay cool this week! Marshall plans on bringing the heat.

The Tuesday Tease!

Happy Tuesday! This past weekend I was so happy to be a part of the utopYA convention organized by the AMAZING Janet Wallace from Social Deviants. Not only was the event a huge success but Janet is a powerhouse and a rock star!!! The readers, the bloggers, the writers, everyone in attendance made this weekend memorable. It truly was incredible.Speaking of the utopYA convention, I’m super happy (and extremely humbled) to announce that Logan Oliver won an award for Best Hero! And—he won because of your awesome votes. :) BIG thank you to all of you for allowing me to experience one of the happiest moments in my life, ever. It was so unexpected and I so appreciated just to be nominated, the win was the icing on the cake. Thank you to those that voted! As a show of my appreciation I’m going to not only let Marshall take over my blog (as a thank you for the facebook likes) I’m handing the reins to Logan as well. It. Will. Be. Steamy. Expect those POV's randomly within a week or two. Can’t wait! They’re already taking over my brain. Things are about to get hotter this summer. Sizzling~Also, a BIG ~*emotional*~ thank you to all of you who came out for the Passionista signing. I loved seeing each one of you! I swear, I have not had that much fun, ever. Thank you for that and another thank you to Janet for putting on the event and for giving me the time of my life. Hugs to you, girl!Be sure to look below the teasers for a special “Indie-pendance” day shout out to one of my favorite up-and-coming indie authors, Heather Self.
On to the teasers:  (no spoilers, even if they feel like it)THE SOLITUDE OF PASSION*Lee’s POV (with Mitch talking to the counselor)
“Still saving my left hook for a rainy day.” He twitches a smile.“You see storm clouds on the horizon, Mitch?” Dr. Van Guard peels off his glasses and leans in as if to inspect him for evidence of just that.“Category five—gathering momentum as we speak.”I have a feeling all unholy hell is going to break loose one day soon. Max should very well fear for his life when it comes to Mitch and his left hook. Something tells me he’s out to avenge a whole lot more than the fact Max Shepherd attached himself to me in holy matrimony. He’s out to avenge his father’s death as well.
ENTROPY (The Countenance Trilogy 3)
*Wes’s POV
(Wes with Laken )
I reach over and touch my finger to her cheek. “Sometimes you have to go after what you want, Laken.” “And sometimes”—she bats my hand away—“you’d better damn well think about the consequences when you do.”


(CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER 1) 
*Skyla and Gage driving down to Rockaway
“So”—I twirl my finger around my hair trying to think up small talk to fill in the void—“you see Logan, yet?” I already know the answer. I already know that all I’m doing is buying time because an entire sea of awkwardness has just taken over. I wish we never had that conversation. I wish we were normal, the way we used to be, but now things have slipped into something entirely different and we’re still testing out the boundaries.Gage rounds his hand over the steering wheel. His dimples depress without the benefit of a smile.“Saw him this morning. He came by with Liam.”“Holy shit!” I suck in a breath not meaning to sound so damn dramatic. “And you didn’t call me?” I’m suddenly walking the line between heavily pissed and downright angry. “What are you on?”“I’m on Skyla Messenger.” His eyes meander from the road to me as he gives a slow spreading smile. “And you’re one addiction I don’t plan on breaking for anyone.”
Enjoy this fantastic holiday week!
*Indie-pendence day (July 4th) is a time where fellow indies love to spotlight up and coming authors in similar genres. 

Heather Self is an amazing writer, author, and all around awesome human being. Her book The One is amazing. If you haven’t already checked it out please do so! It rocks!  

Tuesday Teasers!

It’s Tuesday! I’ve been crazy busy with edits for SOLITUDE and I’m almost at the finish line!!! I’ve also given my next new adult novel a title, WINTER SONG. It’s a part of the 12 NA’s of Christmas. And if you haven’t already added them to Goodreads please be sure to do so! I get to work with 11 aca-awesome authors (see what I did there? A little ode to Pitch Perfect). Be sure to check them out.Onto the teasers…
THE SOLITUDE OF PASSION*Mitch’s POV (Mitch and Max arguing)
“I know, Mitch.” He nods out the window. “Life fed you a sh*t sandwich, and now the whole world has to suffer because of it. And I damn sure better be willing to cough up my wife.”“Lee gets to decide whose wife she is.”

ENTROPY (The Countenance Trilogy 3)
*Laken’s POV
(Laken with Coop)
“So what’s the plan?” I ask, panting while I reload the Ruger. “You kill Wes, and I’ll kill the Spectators.” He snaps the bastardized magazine into place, and I catch him by the wrist.“I’m not killing Wes.”“Then I will.”

(CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER 1) 
*Skyla and Ellis
“Don’t feel bad. The parties on Host suck.” I sling my arm around his shoulder while trying to manufacture a single reason why this might be. “I mean, they’ve got blueSolo cups for Pete’s sake.” Seriously? That’s all I got?His chest rattles with a dull laugh. “Effing amateurs, dude.”       “I knew you’d think so.” I pull him in and give him a hug. “We need you to save us, Ellis. So what do you say? Will you come to Host?” 



*If you haven't read Ethereal Knights what are you waiting for?! Logan and Gage speak!


~Have a great week! I can't wait to meet some of you this weekend! If you see me, feel free to pull me aside!

It's the Tuesday Tease!

It’s Tuesday again! Welcome to the Tuesday Tease!Great news~! Candle Wax (the song inspired by Logan and Skyla) is available through itunes! Quick go get it! It is amazing and awesome and sweet!

Also, the utopYA conference is getting so close and I cannot wait to meet those of you who are coming out.

Enjoy the teasers!



THE SOLITUDE OF PASSION (turning it in for a second round of edits today!)*Mitch’s POV 
They say you can never go back. Never go home. I never would have believed it if they would have told me Lee was happily married to Max Shepherd, having his babies, having the time of her life trying to weld Townsend and Shepherd together at the hip. I would have laughed in their faces. Not my Lee. My family wouldn’t let Max near Townsend let alone Lee.Bull-f*cking-shit.It was all some figment of my prideful imagination. What you fear the most and what you need the least will happen to you—Mitch’s law.   



ENTROPY (The Countenance Trilogy 3)
*Wesley’s POV
(Wes with Laken)
Laken and I just stare at one another locked at an impasse. Here it is, the moment of truth.“God, I love you.” I step in and land my lips over hers. The entire universe just rearranged itself. This wasn’t anything like one of those kisses we shared last week, nothing about this was coated in a lie.My shoulder gets pulled back from behind, and I spin as a fist lands over my jaw.“You’re going to die, Coop.”

(CELESTRA FOREVER AFTER 1) 
*Skyla and Brielle in Skyla’s bedroom.

“What’s all this?” I stare at all the crap Brielle spilled onto my bed and carefully pick up a red, white, and blue bikini top with stars set in precarious places. “This”—she picks up an industrial sized tub of margarine and cradles it like an infant—“is what you’re going to need to seduce him.”“I’m not sure the U.S. flag was ever intended to be a nipple shield. And the butter? What is this, my ‘cupcakes in bikinis’ moment?” “Oh, hon, the only thing that will be baking is him once he slathers this all over you. Just show up and volunteer to wash his car.” She makes a circular motion with her chest and suddenly I’m fearing for my lady parts. “Guys love that. And, since it’s summer, you’ll want to catch a tan.” She thrusts the margarine at me. “Just make sure he rubs you down in all the right places.”Good grief. Brielle can turn an innocent carwash into a pornographic experience.




*Enjoy your week!
