4 Blue Ribbons for Mark of the Bear
Romance Junkies has given MARK OF THE BEAR an amazing 4 Blue Ribbon review!
"Wow! MARK OF THE BEAR is just as good as its predecessor, NIGHT OF THE TIGER. I know that this is only book two in N.J. Walter’s Hades Carnival series. However, I am totally captivated by the thrillingly, chilling storyline carried across each installment. I was hooked from start to finish...Their sexual encounters are mega hot and wickedly intense. Whew! MARK OF THE BEAR is one tale not to be missed!"

Tuesday Teaser: By the Book
This week, the Tuesday Teaser comes from BY THE BOOK, which is part of the Jamesville series.
TEASER:
Unable to resist, he moved closer to her. As if she sensed him behind her, she jerked upright. “What are you doing?” “This.” Reaching out, he stroked his thumb over her cheek, brushing at the dirt there. “You have a smudge right here.”
“Oh.” A tinge of pink colored her face. He was fascinated by how easily she blushed. Her pupils dilated as he ran his thumb over the bridge of her nose. “I must have gotten that when I was down in the basement earlier.”
“No problem.” Her skin was so soft beneath his calloused fingers. He wanted to run his hands over her entire body, learning her curves, searching out all her sensitive spots.

Thank You to my Readers and Fellow Authors
Technology and I have a love/hate relationship, and I have great respect, and not a little envy, for those people who find it so easy to navigate this brave new world.
Those of you who know me understand that technology does not come easy to me. Heck, I just learned how to program the DVR and we've had it for almost two years. I figure better late than never. These past eight years since I started my writing career, I've been on a steep learning curve. I've gone from not knowing what a Yahoo group was to being a part of them. I have my own website, blog, newsletter and Facebook page. Recently, I joined Twitter. Through it all, I've struggled some, shed a few tears, but mostly I've learned that I can do something if I keep trying. It's not easy for me, but I do it anyway, and I'm glad I do.
Therefore, I want to take the time to thank all of my writer friends and readers who help me along the way by retweeting or reposting my news, for adding their reviews to Goodreads (which I'm still haven't joined) and Amazon, for reading my newsletter and blog and checking out my website and sharing the news with their friends.
You have no idea how much this means to me. I love to write and will never stop. It's the "other" side of the writing business that gives me trouble sometimes. But I'm constantly learning and doing things I never imagined I could do. I even update my own website. Don't understand HTML code, but I've figured out how to cut and paste like a pro and make the changes I need to make. It's frustrating and fun, depending on the day.
So, once again, to all of you who have ever liked, shared, reposted, reviewed or even read one of my books...
THANK YOU! You have no idea of the difference you've made in my life.

EMBRACING SILENCE.
SATURDAY SNIPPET:
She was almost through the first strap when she sensed the air behind her stirring. Silence continued to saw frantically at the restraint. He was here. He’d made no sound, and she’d been listening, but he was here. As always, she could sense his very presence, as though the air shifted and made way for him wherever he went.
“You’re resourceful.” His voice was deep and dark and raspy. His words made her shiver with dread. He didn’t sound particularly mad about her escape attempt. He didn’t sound anything at all. His total lack of emotion was more frightening than if he’d bellowed in anger.
Silence almost sobbed with relief when the leather strap gave way. She clawed at the second strap, getting it undone. Not pausing to even think about why he was allowing her to do so, she sawed at the strap around her waist. Blood from several shallow wounds on her wrist dripped down her fingers making it more difficult for her to work.
“How do you plan to get past me?” His question was thoughtful, almost as though he was curious about her intentions.

Finding Chrissten in PRINT
I'm thrilled to announce that FINDING CHRISSTENis now available in PRINT from Samhain Publishing!
BLURB:
She escaped hell. Now love must capture her heart.
Legacy, Book 5
For eighteen horrific months, Chrissten Lawton was at the mercy of a crazy doctor and his pureblood werewolf flunky. She was subjected to experiments, beaten, mated against her will…and fading fast.
Just as she reaches the breaking point, the Haven pack comes to her rescue. Although any strange male makes her nervous, one of her rescuers stays by her side night and day, and something within her responds to this wolf’s gentleness.
From the moment Hank Brewer picked up Chrissten’s unique scent, he’s been driven to help her overcome her trauma-fed fears. He may be a half-breed, but he never does anything halfway. As he dedicates every waking moment to her healing, their fragile link leads them toward something they both hesitate to name.
But the danger isn’t past. Chrissten’s mate is still on the loose and he won’t rest until she—and the rest of Haven’s females—are taken for the cruel enjoyment of his rogue pack. Even though Hank would give his life to save her, the biggest challenge lies ahead. Admitting their love to each other.

Tuesday Teaser: The Return of Patrick O'Rourke
This week the Tuesday Teaser is from THE RETURN OF PATRICK O'ROURKE, book 3 in the Jamesville series.
TEASER:
“Shannon?”
The solemn expression on her face was replaced by a tentative smile. “I wasn’t sure you’d remember me.”
Her simple pleasure washed over him like a warm wave. What the hell was going on with him? He didn’t want to feel this way. He retreated immediately, shutting down all emotion. “Sure I remember,” he replied gruffly.
Her smile disappeared and her nervousness returned. “Here’s your menus. I’ll be back to take your orders in a minute.” She backed away, almost stumbling into the table behind her before turning and scurrying away to the kitchen.
“Man, you still have the touch with the women.” Shamus picked up the menus and handed one over to him. “Way to scare her away.”
“I didn’t scare her away.” He grabbed the menu from his brother. “I hardly said anything to her.”
“It wasn’t what you said, but how you said it. You’re one scary son-of-a-bitch when you want to be.” That said, Shamus opened his menu and perused his choices.
