Tangled Innocence: A Fun New Event
Today I’m going to try something a bit different. It’s called Thuderclap. If I reach 100 supporters of Tangled Innocence, they will announce my campaign in a huge roll out. As I’ve never done this before I wanted to try it. You know me and research! LOL I’ll probably end up making a graph.
So if you can, please help me out. Thanks!

Cover Reveal: Dark Fates
It’s it pretty! I freaking love it. Charity Hendry, our cover artist, did an amazing job. And did you spot the nipple ring? You can thank Ann Mayburn for that idea. Of course, right?
Dark Fates is a paranormal anthology coming out on August 12th. It features SIX brand NEW novellas set in our own individual worlds. From me, you’ll be reading The Hunted Heart. This is Redwood Pack book 7.7 and features Emeline and Noah. Emeline is the elder of the Pack and has been without a mate for far too long. Noah is much younger–as in 28 to her 500–and is Cailin’s ex. Tee hee.
I will reveal the blurb and other fun things–including the next cover for this–soon. Oh! Did you know we have a Facebook Page? Here it is: https://www.facebook.com/DarkFatesAnthology Don’t forget, once we reach 350 likes on the page we will reveal the next cover and when we hit 500 likes, we reveal the blurbs.
Yay!
Thank you so much for reading and sharing this cover!

Release to Watch: Rebel on the Run by Jayne Rylon
If you’re looking for hot alpha men, strong heroines, and a sizzling story, you should really try out Rebel on the Run by Jayne Rylon. I loved the book and since it’s her release day, I thought I’d share!
Amazon: http://amzn.to/1lCwMUw
iTunes: http://bit.ly/1iFvkKI
Bryce Ellington has been keeping a really big bomb of a secret. And the platinum-blonde detonator is wearing five-inch heels, standing next to a broken-down Maserati.
His fellow Hot Rods have never pried into the past that forced him from the only life he’d ever known, from the girl he loved. But as recognition dawns in Kaelyn DuChamp’s eyes—just before those eyes roll back in a dead faint—he realizes he’s going to have a lot of explaining to do. And a ton of damage to control.
When Kaelyn’s great escape from her controlling family fizzles—complete with a face-plant in the dirt—she’s relieved to see the flash of tow truck lights. Then shocked to recognize the man behind the wheel. The best friend she’s been missing for too many years.
Once Kaelyn collapses in Bryce’s arms, he never wants to let her go. But if she spills his secret, the resulting scandal could destroy everything he and the Hot Rods have worked for, built, and loved.

Tangled Innocence: Exclusive Excerpt 1

Dante’s Circle Series, Book 4
Digitally: Amazon │ Barnes & Noble │ ARe │ eStore
Print: Amazon
Exclusive Excerpt 1:
“We’re going to have to have a talk about this whole dragon thing. Watching old movies with sexy men in kilts really didn’t prepare me for this.”
Dante growled, Jace joining in. “Kilts? You want me to wear a kilt? Because if you’re talking about some other man you think is sexy, I will have to kill him.”
Nadie sighed dramatically. “That’s all you got out of that? Okay, fine, no other man in the world is sexy. They ceased to exist for me.”
“Good,” Dante said.
“I was joking, Dante.”
“I really don’t think you were,” Jace added in.
Blurb:
Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes?
As one of the seven lightning struck women, Nadie Morgan has known for a while now that her fate would be forever changed…and revolve around a certain dragon. From the first time Dante Bell saw Nadie, he knew she was the one for him. There’s just one problem–there’s another in his life he’s waiting on as well.
When Jace Goodwin, a bear shifter and Mediator, finally comes back to the human realm after years away under circumstances out of his control, his first stop is to Dante’s Circle where he not only finds his dragon, but the woman they both have been waiting for.
Once secrets are told and the sparks fly, Nadie’s new life becomes something she never thought possible. However there’s another realm at play and Jace and Nadie’s dragon will have to fight harder than he’s ever fought before to keep the life he’s waited eons for.
Warning: Contains one not-so-innocent human, a bear known for his bear-hugs, a tattooed and pierced dragon with a fiery temper, and a connection so explosive, you’ll be fanning yourself from page one.
