Sad times

Sadly, one of my publishers has closed the doors. Secret Cravings Publishing is now deceased. Books are coming down from sites as we speak. Rights revision letters will follow. It's happening all too often lately because the market is tough. Very tough. So hard for the small publishers to be able to compete. I will say that SCP is handling this with grace and honesty. There's no hiding, no arguing. Sandy, the owner, has been upfront, answering questions, and working hard to make this as easy as possible. For that I'm grateful.

This will affect 7 books of mine. In my opinion, the best books that I've written. I'll be searching for new homes for them soon. I'll update everyone when that happens. For the moment, I'll leave the cover art on my blog. When I start looking for new homes for those books, I'll take them down and hopefully have new ones to replace them.

In the meantime, I'll try to get back on the writing wagon and get more new stuff out there.
Thanks again to everyone who reads my stuff. Without you and all the wonderful author friends, I don't know that I'd keep writing. But, we must all press onward even in times of adversity. So, that's what I shall do.

Just signed another contract with Dreamspinner. I'm stoked!

Yes! I'm still bouncing! I just signed a contract with Dreamspinner Press for my latest book entitled Relentless. This story broke my heart and gave me hope. I can't wait to see it out there for everyone to read!

Endangered Species releases Friday! Yes! It's already been a best seller at All Romance Ebooks. What a wonderful start!

Guess what releases Friday? Endangered Species! I can't wait! It's already hit the best sellers list at All Romance Ebooks. Yes!

Injured, exhausted, and on his last leg, lynx shifter, Jordan, all but gives up hope. After weeks confined in a research lab against his will, he manages to escape only to become hunted and is on the run. His will to survive is strong...if only he can keep going.

Noble finds a ragged, bloody shifter on his doorstep in desperate need of attention. He recognizes a similar kinship with Jordan--they're misfits. Noble can't change forms, a fact his family won't accept. Jordan, thanks to the experimentation, can achieve any feline form, but not without a price.

Together, they find common ground, trust, and compassion as the winter snows offer protection from Jordan's hunter. Feelings deepen and passion erupts. However, both know their time is limited. A mad scientist with torture on his mind won't stop searching for his creation--or killing anyone who stands in his way.

YIPPEE!  I'm so excited!

Here's a peek: 

Injured, exhausted, and on his last leg, lynx shifter, Jordan, all but gives up hope. After weeks confined in a research lab against his will, he manages to escape only to become hunted and is on the run. His will to survive is strong...if only he can keep going.

 Noble finds a ragged, bloody shifter on his doorstep in desperate need of attention. He recognizes a similar kinship with Jordan--they're misfits. Noble can't change forms, a fact his family won't accept. Jordan, thanks to the experimentation, can achieve any feline form, but not without a price.

A mad scientist with torture on his mind won't stop searching for his creation--or killing anyone who stands in his way.

And an excerpt:


Just a little further.

 Jordan sucked in a breath and was nearly bowled over with pain when his injured leg slid off the slippery, muddy slope, forcing him to use his claws to dig in. Shards of agony lashed through him as he caught himself out of sheer determination and used the leverage and last of the strength in his right rear leg to push himself back on the more level ground. He paused a second to catch his breath, and shuddered with weakness.

 For two long weeks, he'd been hunted. Run to ground over and over, only to find a way to escape each time. Until now. Exhausted, he'd slept for a couple of hours, unable to move along without minimal rest. Until a shot rang out, a blast of fire entered his hind leg, and the limb could barely handle the weight even in his present natural form of a lynx. It was most likely broken and in need of swift repair.

 He'd been a lab guinea pig for the last three weeks or was it four? Kept behind bars like a dangerous criminal, used for experiments, which should have not only been outlawed, but considered so morally wrong, the entire world would cry out in protest.

 Other shifters had suffered the same fate, yet, one by one, they died from a combination of the experimental drugs forced into their systems, a lack of adequate food and water, and the rapidly declining will to survive. Most gave up and embraced death. Jordan teetered on the edge, but his inner beast refused to allow him to give up. Not when he had a plan and simply waited for his opportunity. The day finally came. He escaped his cell and ran for the hills after ransacking the lab and destroying the formulas Wilson declared took a lifetime to produce. He'd smiled in satisfaction as first one laptop then the other lay smashed on the floor, completely beyond repair.

 Unfortunately, his jailer carried a grudge. A big one.

Release day for Tails: Werewolf! I'm so excited!

Tails:  Werewolf is now available!  This is the second book in the Coin Toss Series. A flip of a coin decides their blind date, but will that lead to love or disaster?

Timber believes true love only belongs in fairy tales, but reluctantly agrees to attend the annual social event of the season and meet her blind date for the evening: a werewolf.

Rock doesn't need the complication of a human mate, not with the present pack alpha stepping down, a violent struggle to claim the position a few short days away, and a deadly rival set upon taking the throne for himself.

Will they pull together as fate deemed in order to save the pack and themselves or will the difference between them prove too large a hurdle to overcome? Can Timber open her heart to a part time fur bearer and recognize love can exist if only given a chance?

Available now at:

Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/Tails-Werewolf-...

Fireborn Publishing:  http://firebornpublishing.com/store/i...

Coming soon to other booksellers!

Update on where I'm at in my writing life

Just an update on my writing life.


I finished final edits on Tails:  Werewolf, due out July 17th. Yes!

Edits for Endangered Species arrive next.

I'm presently working on a sci-fi M/F romance tentatively entitled Leap of Faith. This is my first venture into sci-fi, so we'll see how that goes. World building and the language is a challenge! I hope to finish it this week or next.

What comes after that? I'm not sure. I have a few ideas, just have to see which one starts talking. Hopefully something will!

New pretty to share! The cover for Endangered Species

Endangered Species, to be released from Fireborn in August!
