Beyond Pain, Fight Night and Virtual Signings!
I have lots of updates today, so I’m going to use bullet points! 
Beyond Pain has a blurb! Check it out:
A woman with no future…
Live fast, die young–anything else is a fantasy for Six. She’s endured the worst the sectors had to throw at her, but falling in with Dallas O’Kane’s Sector Four gang lands her in a whole new world of danger. They’re completely open about everything, including their sexuality–but she hasn’t survived this long by making herself vulnerable. Especially not to men as dominant as Brendan Donnelly.
A man without a past…
Bren is a killer, trained in Eden and thrown to the sectors. His one outlet is pain, in the cage and in the bedroom, and emotion is a luxury he can’t afford–until he meets Six. Protecting her soothes him, but it isn’t enough. Her hunger for touch sparks a journey of erotic discovery where anything goes–voyeurism, flogging, rough sex. He has only one rule: he won’t share her.
In Bren’s arms, Six is finally free to let go. But his obsession with the man who made him a monster could destroy the fragile connection they’ve forged, and cost him the one thing that makes him feel human–her love.
It also has a soft release timeline. For more details, check out the full explanation on facebook. Short version: we’re only a few weeks away, so keep your eyes peeled.
Are you a reviewer/blogger and want an eARC? You can put your name on the list here.
Are you a reader and want to win an advance copy? The Fight Night championship round runs through the end of July, and 10 readers will win them.
We’re testing interest in a virtual book signing. If you have wanted to get autographed print copies of any of the books, head over to this form and let us know.
Did you know we’re doing an anthology with Vivian Arend and Lauren Dane? We are, and it’s gonna be awesome!
We’re also planning to be at the RT Booklovers Convention in New Orleans next May! So if you’re going to be there, let’s party.
That’s all for now! I’ll leave you with a few quotes from BEYOND PAIN and the promise that we’ll be back soon to celebrate the wacky, violent, beautiful thing that is Six & Bren falling in love. 
“That’s how I’d dress up. A little skin and big knives, so anyone who
wants to see more knows I’ll probably cut their fingers off.”
Do anything. So mundane, but so easy to imagine the words lower, rougher.
Whispered against her ear, they’d paint a different picture.
I want to do things to you.
“Does it ever go well when you doubt me?
A king should have a little faith in his queen.”
The O’Kanes seemed to say everything that mattered to them with ink.
It made her feel naked, sometimes, having none at all.

Beyond Control SPOILER Post!
Beware…if you venture into the comments, you may find spoilers.
If you haven’t read the book…turn back now!
So…if you’re here, you’ve either read Beyond Control or don’t care about spoilers. Either way, welcome! We’re setting up this page in case you want to ask questions or talk about things that are coming up in future books. We may not confirm exact details, but if you ask a question here, we will do our best to answer.
One question I will answer up front: how many books will there be?
We will write Beyond Pain and Beyond Jealousy, so four books minimum. However, if people are still excited and everything falls into place, there may be a few more stories about the O’Kanes after #4.
And speaking of books #3 & #4…you all got those heroes & heroines figured out yet?
Beyond Control is available early!
Details & buy links available in our newsletter post!
I hope you enjoy Dallas & Lex!

Beyond Control, DABWAHA & More
Beyond Control
We’re in the final stages of preparing Beyond Control for publication! ARCs have gone out and reviews are coming in, and we’re hunkering down to format books and do our final proofing passes. We hope to have both the print and ebook copies available on release day, though print can take a few days to make it through all the expanded distribution websites.
Official release date: MARCH 19th! For the truly dedicated…if you start checking Amazon or B&N Monday morning, you just might find it. 
Pre-Order
At this point in time, most independent self-publishers don’t have access to pre-order options on the major retailer websites. This is a bummer, totally, and we would give you the option if we could! But in the meantime we ask people who really don’t want to miss the book to subscribe to our announcement list. This is not a high-volume newsletter, and you’ll only receive emails when new books or new formats (such as audiobooks) are available.
DABWAHA
We were super excited last night to find out that we’d squeaked into the finalists for DABWAHA. For those of you who have never heard of such a thing, think of it like March Madness for romance novels. I’m a frequent smack-talker and big time loser in this contest every year, as I can’t pick a bracket to save my life. Also? I had already promised to destroy anyone who got in the path of my favorite books this year before I realized I was one of the finalists. My indecision over whether or not to wage war against my own book should be entertaining.
Beyond Shame ON SALE!
We had already planned to discount Beyond Shame to 99 cents for Beyond Control’s release week, but in honor of DABWAHA, we’ve decided to go ahead and mark it down now. So you should be able to buy Beyond Shame for just 99 cents at All Romance Ebooks, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Kobo, iTunes, or Smashwords!
T-shirts, Keychains & goodies!
We’ve been slowly adding products to the O’Kane store, many by request of readers. If there’s any particular type of product you’d really love to have the O’Kane logo on, always feel free to ask! In the meantime, here are some of our more popular products…the new “I’m Marked By” keychains:

Eight days to go…

Audio version of Beyond Shame
We’re excited to celebrate the release of Beyond Shame in audio today! And it’s widely available in a variety of purchasing formats. Including:
Digital Download: iTunes or Audible
1 MP3 CD: B&N, Amazon, Book Depository & Tantor
8 Audio CDs: B&N, Amazon, Book Depository & Tantor
This is definitely a new adventure for us, but if we keep seeing excitement and enthusiasm about the ebooks, maybe this won’t be our last venture into the fascinating world of audio. For now, I hope those of you who have been asking and patiently waiting for an audio version enjoy it!
