One year on...

October 2012 to October 2013

The fastest year of my life.

I might write a story about it. This message isn’t here to bore you with everything you already know, it’s simply here to mark the one year milestone since I unleashed This Man on you all. And more importantly, it’s a ginormous THANK YOU for being such wonderful ladies.
I’m actually a few days late, but with THIS MAN publishing yesterday in the States & Spain etc, and BENEATH THIS MAN publishing tomorrow in the UK, it’s been a little hectic.
This past year has been fast, it’s been furious, it’s been amazing. I’d never thought about writing a novel (or 3), but Jesse Ward’s story built and built until he was trampling all over my mind and I was compelled to write it all down. I kept this man to myself for way too long. It was for me – no one else, just me. It was my perfect story, he was my perfect, imperfect man.
I never dared dream what could be. Unleashing my Lord of the Manor on the world was probably the smartest move I’ve ever made, even if it means sharing him with you all. But I’ll gladly do it because your appreciation for my perfect is just…perfect.
So for those who doubt themselves, kick their arses around thinking of what might be, and generally waste precious time imagining instead of doing. Take a chance, you never know. Something amazing might happen.

End of.

This Man Confessed.

Morning, ladies! Or is it afternoon? I have no clue, but I'm pleased to hear so many positive thoughts on Confessed. I feel soooo much better today, even if I look like a pile of crap.

It's all beginning to sink in now. I'm #1 on Amazon! Not just in my genre, but overall! Lordy Lord! Thank you ♥

Between FB, Twitter, Goodreads, my website and email, I have 1000's of messages and comments. I WILL read them all, but it may take a while! I know some are still having issues searching through Amazon for Confessed, so I've posted all of the links to various countries on my website.

You'll find them all on the link below.

It goes without saying, but I always will...I have a serious love affair with my readers. You're simply wonderful, all of you.

This Man and Beneath This Man now available on B&N!

Hello!

Today my publisher has taken over the publication of the This Man Trilogy, which means it’s finally available on B&N. In the run-up to This Man Confessed, This Man and Beneath This Man are currently on offer for $0.99 & $1.99 (£0.77p and £1.20p-ish!).

It has been a long time coming, so thank you to the Nook owners who have been so patient.

Jodi

22 Days until Confessed...

Who's ready? Not me! The pressure to deliver is immense. HUGE! I so hope you enjoy the conclusion to Jesse and Ava's story. Commence weight loss, ladies. I'll be a wreck, lost somewhere in the bottom of a wine glass. Come join me when you're done with Confessed. We'll hold each other's hand.



So, the giveaway - the big, fat, special one.



Ten galley edition sets of the This Man Trilogy to be won - yes, ten of my lovely ladies will receive all three of my babies, ready to hold and read. These will be sent...

Confessions, anyone?

That something special I was talking about yesterday - the something that I was neither confirming nor denying. Well, I'm confirming, but it is sooooo much better than ten lucky ladies getting Confessed early.

My publisher's having some bound galleys made of the series, so not only will you get This Man Confessed, you'll get This Man and Beneath This Man, too. All three together, and they'll look much like the paperbacks coming in 2014!

Ten sets to win, ladies! The books will be sent direct from the publisher, and I'll be sending an autographed bookmark to each winner, too, just to seal the deal.

The giveaway will open this Saturday for a week, and I'll post all of the details as soon as it goes live.

Sweet Jesse dreams!

UPDATE FROM NEW YORK

New York is bloody brilliant!!! I’m in the US so my lingo will be Americanised…but just for this post. I’m bouncing on a fluffy cloud called Central Jesse. There are a few updates that I need to share with you. First of all, the re-publication of This Man and Beneath This Man are slightly delayed on the Nook, Kobo and iTunes etc. The new release date of This Man and Beneath This Man to the aforementioned platforms is June 18th 2013. Also, I cocked up on the release date of Confessed, but because my head was up my arse that week, I’m hoping you’ll forgive me. It’s not July 1st, it’s July 2nd.

WAIT!!! Before you trample all over me, just think how happy you’ll be on July 2nd when you can start it, not finish it. Have I made you feel better? I hope so. Lastly, pre-order on UK Amazon is proving to be a pain in the royal arse. This is something to do with the change over from self-published to traditionally published. I don’t pretend to understand, but don’t worry my lovely ladies of the UK, the second it goes live I’ll post a message.

I think that covers it. Oh, speaking of covers, I just saw the final design of Confessed, and I bloody LOVE IT! Reveal coming soon.

Okay, so I’ve just re-read the above and I can’t see any Americanised English. I’m sorry. You can take the girl out of Britain, but you can’t take Britain out of the girl. I’ll lob jumpers, tights and pavements all over the place till the day I die, and I’ll also get my knickers in a twist while I do it.

I think that's it. No, hold up! I’m sure there's something else – something exciting to soften the blow after delivering the above rubbish news. Oh, I remember! How could I forget?

A scene from Jesse’s point of view coming real soon!

Love from New York - no ish about it!
