Double Cover Reveal ~ Chequered Flag
Chequered Flag has received a makeover!
Since I have parted ways with my publisher who previously released this series, I will be republishing these books myself in the next week or so. This means I've decided to do a number of things differently:
1) New covers.
2) New blurbs.
3) New interior formatting in the paperbacks.
4) They will be available on all retailers this time so now if you buy books via B&N, Kobo, or iBooks you'll be able to read them.

#FBBF16 - Four Brits Book Fest
What a day!On Saturday, June 11th, I was up at 5 a.m. and travelling to Birmingham with a suitcase full of books to be signed at the Four Brits Book Fest. I will admit, I was extremely nervous about attending this signing. Not only is it one of the biggest that's taken place so far in the UK, but it's also the first signing I've ever attended. Numerous times the introvert in me kept trying to get me to sell my tickets and drop out of going. And considering I bought my tickets late last...

New Website, New Blog
Hi everyone!
Welcome to my new blog!
I'm still in the process of transferring content over and setting up the blog here. Hopefully, I'll have some posts soon, but please bear with me for now.
You can still visit my old blog for past content:

New Website
I have a new website!
In the chaos that seems to be my life right now, announcing this completely slipped my mind. I mentioned it everywhere else, but I put off posting it here because it meant something a little bigger. However, it's come to the point where I need to do it.
As you can probably tell, I've become useless at keeping up with this blog. I only remember to post around new releases, and with everything else I'm working on right now, it's only getting harder. Therefore, I've decided I'm going to move my blog over to my website.
http://miahoddell.com
I didn't want to do this, because I didn't want to lose all of you awesome followers, but I feel it'll be for the best and I hope you'll move with me. It will take me a little while to get everything organised over there and relevant content transferred, but I will be getting things sorted this month. I will, however, leave this blog open so everything remains visible.

It’s all a game until they’re betting with their lives.
Alaya Matthews is in search of freedom. Tired of her mundane life, she packs everything she owns into two bags and heads for Europe. Her plan is simple: see the world and be adventurous, don’t get tied down, don’t settle for less than her heart’s desires, and never fall in love.
However, Alaya didn’t plan for Cole Ashford.
Drawn to her love of life, Cole wants to know how to live again. For seven years he’s been dead inside, and the numerous threats hanging over his head have finally caught up with him. What Cole doesn’t realise is accepting Alaya’s help will mean confronting every part of his tainted past. Alaya is desperate to know what haunts him, and she’s so certain he’ll reveal it she invents a bet he can’t refuse.
One is never enough though, and as they grow closer together, the more daring their wagers become. Neither of them will back down from a challenge, but the stakes are being raised. Gambling on Cole may cost Alaya her heart, or even worse, her life.
Bet On Me is 0.99 for the release week only!

Excerpt
He shook his head in despair. “I’m beginning to think I made a mistake trying to save you. You’re not going to make my life easy, are you?”I clutched my hands to my chest, giving him my best dreamy-eyed swoon. “Aww, you were trying to save me. You’re so sweet! And for the record, no, I’m not going to make your life easy. But hey,” I shrugged, “it was your choice. You could always save me by boxing him against the window and leaving me in peace.” “Oh really? Maybe I’ll just go to the toilet instead and leave you to fend for yourself.” He kicked one leg out into the aisle, moving to stand. When his body shifted, it gave me another glimpse of the greasy-haired man who watched us from the corner of his eye and reached for his bag, as if ready to pounce as soon as Hazel … uh, Cole moved.Throwing away all self-respect, I reached out and grabbed his wrist. “No!” He sniggered and collapsed back against the seat with a smirk. “So you do need saving.”I narrowed my eyes at him. “You’re cruel.”“Sweetheart, you don’t know me, remember? Don’t sound so surprised.”My jaw dropped at his words and my gaze shifted nervously around the carriage. Maybe I was better off taking my chances with the other guy. I swallowed hard.“I’m not your sweetheart.”“Would you prefer it if I called you Ice Queen or Gingernut instead? Because I didn’t think those would go over as well.”Glowering at him for flipping my line back around on me, I folded my arms across my chest. I refused to rise to his teasing and ask why those names. Gingernut obviously came from the way my hair changed colour in the sun. However, Ice Queen could have been because of a number of things.“This is the part where you’re supposed to give me your name,” he prompted when I didn’t respond.“You could always not talk to me. Problem solved.”“Sweetheart it is.”
