Updates

Hey gang, when last we spoke I was giving you guys the last of the boys. So I’m back, with a few updates.

Biggest one is, I started writing Till Betrayal, PSC #4 today. Already got almost 3k words down. That’s big, because my beginnings are usually a slooww process. Now, you should be happy that I’m on PSC #4 because this means I’m that much closer to Sinners #5. It’s next on the writing list. So all I’m saying is, if you want me to write faster to get to Sinners #5, you might want to send som...

BLURB

Eight years ago, life was good for Tate Reilly. Living inAtlanta and attending college, her dream of becoming a doctorwas within reach, and she was in love with Ryan Hart. Then one night while Tate slept, Ryan disappeared. No note, no phone call, nothing left of a loveshe thought would last forever. Confused and heartbr...

Finale: Save Me, Sinner

Oh darlings. Thank you for emailing me, and shouting me out via FB and Twitter. You’re awesome, you know that? When I was sinking deep into depression I’d get an email from you, and you’d make me smile. Make me laugh. I treasure that. I treasure you. Hugs and kisses all around. I’m not better, and I won’t be. But I’ll be damned if that depression nipping at my heels will pull me under. I’ve got too much to do. I’ve got you guys here propping me up, keeping me upright with your lovely words. T...

Stuff and Other Stuff

Loves, I almost forgot about posting this today. It’s been a reallyshitty day. And night. How is it I’ve gone thirty years and not have my heart broken? It’s broken now.

Ouch is not the fucking word.

So while I deal with the mess of my private life, I still have to get myself together and give you what you need. I talked about Nathan Valte’s love interest in Till Mercy being a man, right? I said he’s Para? Well, the blurb takes care of that. Nate’s love interest is a leopard. And if you’ve read...

Part XI: Save Me, Sinner

Yes, I should be writing Till Betrayal, PSC #4, but damn if I know what the hell that book is about. I’m drawinga complete blank and in the meantime, you lovely folks get to reap the bennies. Eh? Nice, right? I’m trying to get JP and Shane done by the time school begins, that way it’ll be one less thing on my to-do list.

Syren and Kane’s free read will come, but no time soon. No one email me about that, please and thanks. Once JP and Shane is done, I’ll put them in a PDF so you guys can downlo...

Part X: Save Me, Sinner

Since I had time on my hands, thought I’d bless you wonderful folks with more JP and Shane. The end is near. Brace yourselves. It’s been not quite smooth sailinggetting my head back into the writing game. Tend to happen after I finish one book then jump too quickly into another. To that end, I’m simply reading and editing, instead of writing. I still have to get PSC #4 out by the end of September so I’ll have to buckle the hell down. I always stretch myself thin. With school starting back up...

Step Change.

How do you cope with change?

I would love to embrace all change with a sense of YAY Let’s go for it!

Err…NO! I struggle just like the next person. Change can be painful, stretch us as individuals and push our boundaries too.

John Thurston, Alpha to Louisa’s pack is a fair and honest man. Louisa coming out as lesbian has challenged him. His shifter community di...

Lea Bronsen’s My Biggest Fan

Welcome author Lea Bronsen, and her latest Evernight release, My Biggest Fan.

MY BIGGEST FAN by Lea Bronsen

BLURB:

Shawn Torien is a handsome, arrogant bassist with the groove rock band Bloodless. At thirty four, he’s seen everything, been everywhere, and all is handed to him on a silver plate—groupies included. His rock star attitude is questioned when the record company’s young webmistress Samantha joins the band to cover their life on the road.

Since she has crushed on Shawn for years, he take...

Part IX: Save Me, Sinner

Thought I’d mention the timeline of this, in relation to the other books. The events of Save Me, Sinner occurs in that timeframe in A Sinner Born where Kane and Syren had broken up, after the Thiago fiasco. When Syren went to Costa Rica and Kane, well, we know what Kane was doing. Just thought I’d mention that. By the time the New Years scene in ASB rolled around, all this was over. Which is why JP and Shane were there.

Make Me Blaze (M/M-Brining the Heat #3) has been contracted. I’m also in t...

Author Doris O’Connor talks Sci-Fi/Rom and Man-Droids

Thanks so much for having me here today, Avril

Man-Droid the Orgasmatron is my first foray into Sci-Fi romance and like so many of my stories these days, it started off as a flash, sparked by a picture. In this case it was a picture of a Barbie doll, blindfolded with her hands tied. It tickled my funny bone, because I used to do that to my dolls when I was growing up.

Anyhoo, this phrase popped into my head.

“That was the Barbie model. Kinky Ken is much improved and very popular.”

And just like...
