The Movie Trailer is HERE!



Did you know that Hollywood Dirt- my southern bestseller - is going to be a movie? And that filming has already occurred? And that it's coming in September?

TRUE STORY.

I've been pinching myself for the last nine months. Swooning on set as I've watched my lines of dialogue actually spoken, on camera, as a crew of thirty watched.

All of it has been thanks to YOU. The readers. The reviewers. The fans.

Thank YOU for your support of this novel.

Thank YOU for loving this story.

Thank YOU for recommending it to others, and for reviewing it, and for helping it to become a success.

PassionFlix, thank you for loving Summer and Cole and for bringing them to life.

YOU, all of you, have made my wildest dream a reality. And today, I have a peek at that crazy dream - the official trailer!

Watch it here: https://vimeo.com/223724733/a38c372e7d

I feel as if I was there for so much of filming, but when I watch this trailer, I realize just how much they were really able to capture. If you want to see behind-the-scenes filming pics, or be notified when the movie releases, and get details on where to watch it, click here: www.HollywoodDirtMovie.com.

Have you ever wanted to write a book?

Do you have an idea that would make a perfect book? Have you always dreamed of writing a novel?

Four years ago, I sat down to write my first book. I had zero training. I had no idea what I was doing. And I made A LOT of mistakes.

Now, I've written fourteen books. I've hit the New York Times Bestseller List eight times. Two of my novels are being made into movies. I have accomplished a dozen things that I never even imagined. And ALL because I made the decision to write my first book.

I can help you do the same. I can walk you through the process of writing your first book. I can help you tell your story, and break down the steps in an easy-to-understand and fun way.

Writing should be fun. Writing your first book can be one of the most rewarding and exciting journeys of your life.

My entire life changed with just two words: Chapter One.

Could yours?



Stop Dreaming. Start Writing.

Trophy Wife is LIVE on non-Amazon platforms!

Trophy Wife is LIVE early on iBooks, Kobo and Nook!
Releasing on Amazon on April 19th!
Only 99¢ for a limited time!
iBooks >> goo.gl/cKWbgv
Nook >> goo.gl/iYpXlV
Kobo >> goo.gl/RNtPDK
Amazon >> no preorder



FAQ about Trophy Wife:

What is it?
First off, this book is an expanded rerelease and rebranding of The Dumont Diaries, which I wrote three years ago and released as a set of serials. Eventually I combined the serials into a standalone novel, but I didn't go back and 'rewrite' it as a novel, so it's always felt a little disjointed to me. Lately readers have been asking me for a sexier read with a great twist -- this novel meets all of those needs, and I decided to go back and completely rework it. I'm adding 50+ pages of new content, male POVs, and improving the entire storyline. I've had so much fun rediscovering this couple and am so excited to reintroduce them, many of you have never heard of them!

How much will it cost?
It will initially be priced at 99c. Just for a few days, but be sure to grab it RIGHT when it releases, so you can get that discount. The reason for this intro pricing is so readers who purchased and read the original version, won't be punished.


Where will it be sold?
It will be a Kindle Unlimited book. I know that this screws over iBooks/Nook users, so I am releasing it exclusively on those outlets for the first 4 days, so that those readers can snap it up (and read it!) before it hits Amazon exclusively.

What type of book is it?
This is a filthy sexy erotic romance - There is voyeurism sex, a love triangle, a dominating hero, secrets and unexpected plot twists. I love this book, and am so excited to see it properly evolve in this expanded edition.

My Next Release!

Guess what?! It's COVER REVEAL DAY!



As this release of mine is a little bit different than prior launches, I wanted to take a moment and explain it. Trophy Wife will release very soon (April 15th and 19th!). Here's more information behind it:

PRICING: It will initially be priced at 99c. Just for a few days, but be sure to grab it RIGHT when it releases, so you can get that discount. The reason for this intro pricing is so readers who purchased and read the original version, won't be punished.

AVAILABILITY: It will be a Kindle Unlimited book. I know that this screws over iBooks/Nook users, so I am releasing it exclusively on those outlets for the first 4 days (starting April 15th), so that those readers can snap it up (and read it!) before it hits Amazon exclusively on April 19th.

ABOUT: This is a filthy sexy erotic romance - There is voyeurism sex, a love triangle, a dominating hero, secrets and unexpected plot twists. I love this book, and am so excited to see it properly evolve in this expanded edition.

CONCEPTION: This book may sound familiar to you. It is an expanded rerelease and rebranding of The Dumont Diaries, which I wrote three years ago and released as a set of serials. Eventually I combined the serials into a standalone novel, but I didn't go back and 'rewrite' it as a novel, so it's always felt a little disjointed to me.

Hollywood Dirt Movie Casting!

I've got great news about the Hollywood Dirt movie!

Everything is humming along, with filming starting in just three weeks! And with the start date so close, that means that it's time for cast announcements!

I am so excited to announce Emma Rigby will be playing Summer's role! Emma is a UK actress who will be a perfect blend of the sweetness and sass that is our country heroine. I can't wait to see her in this role!
description

Also, do you recognize this beautiful face? She was one of my favorite actresses growing up (still is!). Mindy Cohn, from The Facts of Life, will be playing Thelma, a Quincy local!
description

More announcements coming in the next week! I can't WAIT to show you who will be playing Cole and Brad!
(note: Cole's original actor, Antonio Cupo, had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, so we will have a new actor in that role)

My newest release is only 2 days away! Preorder Love in Lingerie now for only $3.99!
Amazon preorder: smarturl.it/LoveLingerie
iBooks preorder: goo.gl/8anXIT
Nook preorder: goo.gl/GAWYkp

Description:
I hired her to fix my company, to bring Marks Lingerie back to life. I didn’t expect her to become my friend. I didn’t expect to fall in love with her.
The first rule of business is to never touch your employees. I think there is another rule about not falling for your best friend—a rule against imagining the curves of her body, or the way her breathing would change if I pulled down her panties and unzipped my pants.
Now, I can’t wait any longer. I’m tossing out the rules.
Damn the company.
Damn our friendship.
Damn my fears.


Sneak Peek:

He softly clicks his tongue against his teeth. “Stand up.”

“I’m not standing up.”

“Kate.”

“Stop saying my name. I’m not standing up.” If I stand up, then my panties are going to end up coming off, and this is going to go to a very bad place, a place that I have been wanting for two years, but that doesn’t matter right now, none of that matters right now, because this isn’t just Trey, this is the owner of Marks Lingerie, and if he—he slides his hands underneath my skirt, and I gasp when his fingers reach the bottom edge of my underwear. My other heel hits the floor.
He tilts his head, his fingers caressing the silk, then the top of my thighs, then the detailed edge between them. “Are these from the fall collection?”

“Winter.” The word whispers out of me. “Please stop.” I’m so wet. He hasn’t even done anything, hasn’t even kissed me, and I am so needy, so desperate.

“You want me to stop?” His fingers stop their play above my thighs, and he slides one slow, sure hand in between my legs, his touch soft and teasing, my legs opening wider despite myself, my hips thrusting upward, begging for him to—

He brushes his fingers across my clit, and I whimper. He slides his fingers lower, in between my legs, pressing into the damp area, and when he says my name, it is a swear across his lips.

“Stop,” I beg.

“I don’t know if I can.”

Have you met Brad DeLuca yet?

If you haven't met Brad DeLuca before, you should!

“Society has this hang up with the idea that women are losing a part of themselves every time they fuck, and it is bullshit. So a man can be with twenty different women and have a normal, healthy self-esteem, but a woman sleeps around and she is emotionally destroyed? Women attach feelings to sex because society tells them to. They think that they should feel for a guy before sleeping with them so they manufacture a relationship or emotions and that only screws them up later on. … The act of sex is healthy, normal, God-given. It’s the emotions and entitlement that everyone attaches to it that is harmful.”
