Feature Friday – Monstrous Revelations: The Complete Series
I’m going to be hitting the Heart of Stone series hard in the foreseeable future, so now’s ABSOLUTELY the time to get caught up on the Monstrous series so you can see Vane and Cin before they head out into the wild blue yonder on their road trip.
Yep, the events in Monstrous Revelations open up a whole new horizon for Ari’s crew. THINGS HAPPEN and the monsters are smack-dab in the middle of it all. Well, actually, Ari’s in the middle, but the monsters are all around her so…you get where I’m going with this, right?
The supernatural community is about to be revealed. Are you ready for the revelation?

Arabella Colton might be just a flighty nymph, but she grew up believing she was mortal and that puts her more in touch with the world than any of her supernatural friends. She can see the world getting smaller every day and she knows it’s only a matter of time before the supernaturals hiding (in plain sight and otherwise) are outed.
What’s a nymph to do when the monsters she loves are in danger? She goes on the offensive, of course. She’s going to force humanity to accept her friends whether it’s ready for the revelation or not.
Monstrous Revelations: The Complete Series contains:
Monstrous Connections

Heart of Stone book 1 is OUT NOW!
DID YOU GUYS SEE? Rock Hard, Heart of Stone #1, is out! OMG! YES!
Heart of Stone is the road trip book I didn’t know I wanted to write. It was funnnnnnnn. I mean, who can resist a surly gargoyle on a cross country road trip? NOT CIN, THAT’S FOR SURE!
Seriously, though, Vane gets to find some closure on a thing or two from his past and Cin gets to travel the back roads with her boo. Admittedly, those things don’t happen in part one of the book, but they’re coming!
(Plus a ghost town! And semi-public sexin’! And meeting new supernaturals! SO FUN!)
Book 2 will be coming soon so snatch this one up and see how Vane and Cin’s story begins!

Cindy Malone is one happily mated human. She has a gorgeous gargoyle as her other half, the monsters who once lived in the shadows have been revealed to all, and she’s living with her best friend and a slew of other supernaturals she adores. Sure, she might wish she could spend time with Vane during the day, but the nocturnal hours are workable and she’s learned to be happy with what they have.
The only thing she’s maybe a little teeny, tiny bit upset about is how little she knows about Vane’s kind. After all, how can she be a perfect mate to a gargoyle if she knows next to nothing about them?
That’s right, friends, it’s time to hit the books and start talking. Cin has some learning to do.
Warning: This book contains a gargoyle who likes sweet things, a human who likes hard things, and a bunch of supernaturals who are learning to live openly in the world again.

Looking Back On August
Another month gone by and YESSSSS Heart of Stone is done! Definitely done. Part one is edited. The cover has been completed. Now I just need to format and upload and you’ll have Vane and Cin’s story in all it’s wildly sexy glory!
(and since I’m writing this on Sunday, if I manage to find ALL THE MOTIVATION, it might be available even before I predict.)
Basically, the next few months are going to be all about Monstrous World. Not that the writing is complete on Heart of Stone, I’m looking toward Lon’s story. Tentatively titled Wild at Heart, but that is subject to change depending on how the story plays out.
Anywho. Here’s to motivation and other great things.

Feature Friday – Monstrous Tales: The Complete Series
No lie, I was 100% certain I would have the first part of Heart of Stone up by this week.
Also no lie, I do not have the first part of Heart of Stone up this week.
So until I can work out the cover kinks (not literal kinks, although that would be slightly amusing), we’re going to keep hitting up Ari and her wickedly sexy friends.
Basically, if you’re looking to get introduced to Vane and Cin (those are the Heart of Stone mains, in case you missed it), grab the complete series. You get to meet Ari’s best human friend and you’ll see how very much things have changed since Cin dragged Ari off for a weekend at the lake.
GOOD TIMES!

Feature Friday – The Wicked Ever After
(Before I get into the nitty gritty of the today’s post, I’m just going to say I FINISHED THE FIRST DRAFT OF HEART OF STONE AND OMG THAT MEANS IT’S COMING SOON!!!)
Whew!
Okay. Back to the here and now.
Sticking with my theme of Vane and Cin, these two both make appearances in this book. Cin’s still reeling from finding out monsters are real. Vane’s sticking around to support Ari and Liam in the aftermath of Liam’s rescue.
Vane and Cin don’t reaaaaaallllly interact, but the seeds for them as a couple started here. At least in my head. (and for Lon and his lady, but that’s another story for another day.)
Cin’s overwhelmed and awed (plus a little heartbroken over her breakup with her girlfriend), but she’s a good friend who does what she needs to do to help. Seeing what Ari’s been dealing with for the past several months helps put her recent actions in perspective a little, too.
Because monsters.
As for Vane, the big guy is showing a grumpy interest in things for the first time in a long time and that’s a big step for him.
Plus, he meets Cin and that sets him on the path to true love and stuff. We like true love.
So. Get ready for Heart of Stone. Cin and Vane’s book is coming and it was a blast to write. Can you say road trip?
The Wicked Ever AfterAmazonRelease Date: July 31, 2014
Pages: 46
Genre: Monster Erotica
With the help of her monstrous friends, Ari has saved her beloved from the mating contract that nearly killed him. As he recovers, she tries to figure out how to juggle her relationship with him—and her unwillingness to leave his side—with her family and outside life.
As it turns out, her former lovers might have a solution. If they play their cards right, it would give her a chance to be with her Liath Mor mate while remaining part of the human world.
Ari’s proven to be adventurous and willing to think outside the box. This wicked nymph isn’t one to let opportunities pass her by, especially when it means getting everything she desires.
Warning: This book contains a newly-minted nymph who’s overjoyed to be back with her mate and a Guardian who will do anything to keep her beside him. Even choose a name for himself. Tentacle sightings, ahead!

Feature Friday – The Wicked Lovers
Since I’m working on the final (I think) part of Heart of Stone AND rereading the earlier parts for continuity and such, I’ve got Cin and Vane on the brain.
THESE TWO.
They’re sweet and sexy and they’re making their own kind of waves on their road trip across the country.
Cin’s appearance in The Wicked Lovers puts her smack-dab in the path of Ari’s new supernatural friends. Yeah, this book was a turning point for her. She finds out monsters are real and ends up meeting a slew of them. Including the one she’d later fall in love with and mate.
So here you go…a little more Cin and Vane.
The Wicked LoversAmazonRelease Date: July 12, 2014
Pages: 55
Genre: Monster Erotica
Ari’s chance to free her beloved is here. With her allies standing beside her, she must face down two territorial females and save her imprisoned love. All while trying to keep the human world blissfully ignorant of the monsters moving among them.
Her monstrous friends might be willing to fight on her side, but having that many alpha males in one place could be a recipe for disaster. And that’s before her mom schedules some family time, her best friend shows up heartbroken, and her mysterious bloodline tempts her to give into her urges.
What’s a girl who loves monsters to do when love and lust get tangled? Her wicked lovers are about to find out.
Warning: This book contains a girl who lacks inhibitions, one weepy best friend, a mom who sees more than she lets on, and a slew of supernatural lovers. No horizontal surface is safe during Ari’s amorous adventures.

Looking Back on July
July was a Camp NaNo month and it turned out to be a goooooood writing month, guys. SO GOOD.
In a nutshell, I’m well into writing the final part of Heart of Stone and I’m digging the twists and turns Vane and Cin are taking on their road tripping journey to reconnect with Vane’s family.
While I didn’t have any releases in July, I’m aiming to have part one of HoS hitting ereaders in August. So keep your eyes peeled and your kindles charged!
After August, releases will come pretty quickly since the entire book will be written. (As an aside, that’s why Monstrous Revelations took so long to come out. I was writing only 2 or so parts ahead and hit a wee bit of a wall toward the end of the book. As sometimes happens when it comes to endings for me. Not this time, though! This time, the book will be DONE before part one goes live. Yesssssss.)
Anywho. Until next month! Happy reading and all that jazz!

And in Other News…
Heyyyy there! So, I’m deep in the writing cave (so deep!) and I’m alllllllmost done with Heart of Stone. Which means good things for the future. Namely, that part 1 will likely be ready for an August release.
You know, provided I get a cover made for it.
Anywho. I’m going radio silent for the rest of the month so I can knock out the last two sections of this book.
And then…GARGOYLES! Yesssssssss!
