Stay Tuned (Upcoming Releases)...
So I'm currently working on what looks like the 3rd in the Dangerous Secrets series:
a) Involves IR (bwwm) relationship? Check.
b) Takes place around college? Check.
c) 'Juicy' secret? Check.
I'm not sure if it's a novella or novelette yet (definitely not a full-length novel); it's currently shaping up to look like a novelette, although there is a chance the word count could spill into novella territory depending on how in-depth I go.
Oh, and another thing: I didn't mean to, but the first two in Dangerous Secrets ended up thematically somewhat bug-related, so I made it part of their formatting, and bugs are now another tie-in element to the series (spiders for Book 1, caterpillars/butterflies for Book 2). Which means I have to find another bug--insect or arachnid--to tie to this latest one.
Still a bit early though--it's very much still in its budding stages. But if I keep at it, this latest one will probably be released sometime this month--I should be done writing it by next week.
Two more books in the Sweet Redemption series are also in the works.
One should be ready by the end of September.

I Did It!
Released today is my latest BWWM interracial romance: Trapped.
No, it's not the one I mentioned in my previous post--as usual, while working on one project I'm determined to finish, another poked its head in and snuck past the finish line.
Of course I had to go with the flow, so instead of another Dangerous Secrets installment (which, as I continued writing that particular project, I realized it won't end up being part of that series after all!), I finished a sci-fi novella, one that takes place in a Zombie Apocalypse no less.
Anyway, I've decided to debut it with an introductory price of 99c.
I plan to have it at that price for about 2 days, then raise it to a proper novella price.
This is the first story in what I'm calling my Bite-Sized Romance series.
This one also ended up with more sex than all my previous releases which are all more relationship/romance based. Go figure!
Now to get a Goodreads Librarian to add it here... Scratch that--just realized I can add it myself! :)

New Covers, New Series, New Name
Playing With Fire is getting a new cover, and others likely will too...eventually.
We'll be experimenting to see how a different style of cover affects things.
In other news, I've started a new series, and after going back and forth over whether to use a new name or not, I've decided to leave this new series under Rose.
However, I will be moving to a new genre soon, and will definitely put those works under a different name (which I won't disclose publicly since I want to give the new name a chance).
I have a few other things planned under my name, but will likely give it a rest--perhaps permanently--after this year. Well, depending on how things go with the new series, I guess.
I also have some lofty marketing ideas for my work this year, so that's a factor as well; I'll see how those pan out.
Keep in mind though--I'm still planning to release at least 7 novellas this year: the new 3-book series, 3 more books under Holiday Hunks, and 1 more book under Sweet Redemption. I might even squeeze in another novelette.
Also, the expanded, print editions for most of my books are due this year.
If you'd like to know about the upcoming new genre/name, just join my newsletter. I give away all sorts of secrets in there! :)
*Reminder: download the latest version of Trapped (Expanded Edition) for free if you bought the original before 1/20/14! Just access the latest file at your retailer.*
Also, please consider leaving a review on Amazon if you've enjoyed any of my books--it is a vital part of the marketing plan.
Thank you! :)
And have a happy V-day!

COMING SOON: Brandon: The Wilde Brothers
It's Brandon's turn!
I don't have a release date yet, but Alec's brother's story will be available sometime this month.
I'm sort of working on both Brandon's and Connor's stories at the same time, so the good news is, they'll probably be released within 2 weeks of each other.

Back on Track!
Connor: The Wilde Brothers is now available as a pre-order on Amazon!
The release date says 9/25, but it will probably be a bit earlier than that. ;)
Connor: The Wilde Brothers should be available on all other platforms (B&N, Kobo, Apple, ARe etc.) the week of 9/15! :)
Also, if you haven't picked it up yet, Alec: The Wilde Brothers is on sale for a few days (99c from 9/12-9/16). Catch it from the beginning! This book (and Brandon) should be read before Connor.
Next up, the second book in the Sweet Redemption series (involving characters from Playing With Fire - starring Janet's best friend, Liz).
Plus, I have a few other surprises! Can't talk about them just yet, though. Stay tuned.

SYNOPSIS: Stressed Naomi is having one of those “Murphy’s Law” kind of days—everything that can go wrong is going horribly wrong. Traumatized by events from the night before, she ends up distracted at work—to the point that it gets her fired. Her continued distraction leads to more catastrophe as she almost smashes into a stranger as she hurries away—or is it a blessing in disguise?
Noticing her distress, the handsome, wealthy-looking stranger offers her an attractive solution to her immediate needs: work for him as his personal assistant—no catch.
Ha! She doesn’t believe him, but her desperation makes her accept, and it isn’t long before she suspects he wants a whole lot more from her than getting his coffee!
She is used to saving herself, but can she resist the hunk who saved her?
