Milly Taiden's Kindle World, Sassy Ever After, released a new batch of books today! I'm happy to say my own novella, Sassy Witch, is part of this! All books are now available on Amazon. 
Sassy Witch
By SL Stacker
Kendal Pitner is a member of the local witch coven, and she’s been in love with Auran Spenport, the alpha of one of the local wolf packs, since high school. After a night of passion, Kendal and Auran find themselves working together when pups from the local packs go missing.
Kendal and her coven cast a protection spell on the wolves, but because of the amount of power it required, Kendal finds herself burned out. Despite her recent ordeal, she’s determined to help find those responsible for luring the pups away. Her resolve to help may hinder the search, and it could cost her the ultimate price…her life.
Desires of the Night
By Taylor Dawn
Gia Pendleton wanted one thing—to find her missing brother. The last clue she followed led her to Las Vegas' Club Desire, a place for vampires to act out their kinky fantasies. Upon meeting Layton Kyle, the owner of the club, Gia quickly realized her preconceived notions of the undead didn’t match reality.
Layton Kyle has walked the earth for over a century but finds himself second guessing his decision to become a child of the night. The mundane existence he lived became upended when a curvy blonde human barged into his office, searching for her missing sibling. His instant infatuation leads him to strike a deal with Gia—he will help locate her brother in exchange for her becoming his play toy.
With the contract signed in blood, Gia and Layton embark on a relationship that could be their undoing.
Phoenix and a Dash of Sass
By Jami Brumfield
Tessa Martin is on the hunt for a stone with the power to scare victims to death. Her job is to find mystical items and store the dangerous ones away in a vault made to shield the magic from harming innocents. While a noble crusade, it is a job that leaves little time for romance. The last thing she needs is to fall in love, but when she meets Jackson, her world is shaken to the core and her future becomes uncertain.
Phoenix shifter, Jackson Brand is struggling to launch his restaurant and finds himself in dire straits when Tessa walks into his life. The loan for the restaurant is in jeopardy of being recalled and his investor isn’t the kind of man you avoid paying unless you want to lose a leg or a finger. The last thing he needs is a mate he needs to protect from his past, but sometimes fate likes to add a Dash of Sass to the mix.
The treasure hunt will force the couple together, but the magic they make may not be enough to keep them from falling apart. Partnerships will be tested, people will get hurt, lives may even be lost as they are thrown into a mystery that promises to have an explosive ending.
From Scotland with Sass
By AK Michaels
Belle is just too sassy for her own good. It’s gotten her into hot water one time too many and she knows she’s treading a thin line with her Alpha. So what does she do when she’s forced to pick up a sexy-as-sin Scotsman and return him to the Pack? Heck, as soon as the Alpha’s mate goes near him, she growls at her! She’s lucky to make it out of there in one piece, and she’s sure it’s the hot Highlander who saved her.
What was supposed to be a pick him up, drop him off, and make her getaway kinda day, turns into a scorching hot encounter that takes her breath away, at the same time as her sanity. Mr. Sex-on-Legs Scotsman has her heart racing every time he glances her way, her Wolf acting like a love-sick pup, his beast calling to hers as only a soul-mate can.
With rogue Wolves in the area, willing to take what they want, and what they want is Belle, can the lovers find each other and seal their bond before it’s too late?
Northern Sass
By Elianne Adams
After twenty years away from the only place she’s ever called home, Maple Hudson is back. Too bad it’s only for a couple of weeks. With debts piling high, and more responsibilities than she can handle on her own, she’s left with no choice but to sell the land, ending her dream of reopening the family business.
Two long decades. That’s how long it took Jaxon Barnett to accept that Maple, his mate, was gone for good. Too young to be anyone’s mate, she’d been whisked away, and no amount of searching had brought him any closer to finding her.
After an attack leaves the Wassookeag pack devastated, Jaxon resigns himself to attending the Wolfe family’s scenting ceremony to find a suitable mate. That is, until the scent that had haunted him for years sends him racing through the forest, back to the old cabin where fate had played its cruel joke and stolen her from him.
Maple was back, and this time, she wouldn’t get away.
Sassy Vigilante
By Gracen Miller
Deader thought he had all he ever wanted.
Forensic anthropologist, Nelson “Deader” Montreal, is the bone-whisperer. While he has the success of high profile cases under his belt, his newest investigation is a serial killer dubbed the Redeemer. Unlike other murderers, this one kills some victims and spares others, the random selection stumping law enforcement. When Deader scents his mate on one of the survivors, everything changes. Concealing evidence from the investigation doesn’t set easy with him, but what’s a tiger-shifter to do when the scent of his mate is mysteriously tied to the Redeemer?
Then his mate brought excitement into his life.
Skarlet Weston is a sex-toy entrepreneur moonlighting as a vigilante. Saving the world is easy with magic at her fingertips. There’s just one major hitch in her life… her people want her dead. When she’s attacked and barely escapes with her life, she seeks refuge in Blue Creek with a friend. The city might seem like a sleepy town, but thanks to the town meddler there’s never a dull moment.
Caught between a rock and a hard place…
Deader never expected to find his mate in a foul-mouthed redhead, but she’s everything he could’ve wanted, and more. Except she’s complicated, sassy, stubborn, and her murderous family is just the beginning of her issues. Worried he won’t be able to protect her from enemies he can’t identify he’s thrown into a tailspin when the Redeemer unexpectedly strikes again. Can he dismiss his oath to law enforcement and ignore Skarlet’s involvement with the Redeemer? Or will he be forced to choose between them?
…has never come in a sexier package.
License to Sass

Blurb:
Wolf shifter Dante Romano is a ladykiller with soulful eyes, a cocky swagger, and enough smokin' hot sex appeal to burn a woman's panties right off her. He acts like he's shifterdom's gift to womankind. Since he's got the bedroom skills to back that up, why not enjoy the benefits? He would...if he didn't know down to his toes that curvy, tempestous Carmen is his mate. Only no way, no how does she seem to want to be tied forever to a bossy alpha male wolf like Dante. Not even after he puts his claim on the damned impossible woman.
Every time Carmen Delacruz thinks about Dante, she gets hot and bothered. He could make an angel sin, with his dark chocolate eyes and those talented lips and hands. Not to mention he stole her heart years ago, ruining her for any other guy. However, he's got the overbearing alpha male thing down to a science...and that pisses off self-reliant Carmen like crazy. No, she sure doesn't need a man to complete her. But when she finally realizes she really does want license to sass Dante for the rest of her life, it just might be too late.
Claws, Class and a Whole Lotta Sass
By Julia Mills
Hiding in plain sight as the Pack Healer for a bunch of wolves was the perfect cover…
Using ancient magic to hide her true nature hadn’t always been easy, but it beat the hell outta being dead...then he waltzed in. Six foot-nine inches of pure male dragon, looking better than a man had a right to and making her dragoness wake from a long hibernation to spread her wings, not only rocked Dannika’s world, it almost turned it upside-down. As if that wasn’t bad enough, an evil as old as time and twice as deadly has reared its ugly head. Her ability to hide behind her patented sassy attitude may have kept Dannika safe for all these years, but now the future of all things paranormal is at stake and only she holds the key to its survival...well, at least part of it.
It was supposed to be a simple cross country trip, but then, he’d heard that somewhere before…
Since the death of his father almost a century ago, Wolfe McCallum’s life had been a series of incredible ups and devastating downs that made riding a roller coaster seem like a walk in the park. It also didn’t help that he freely admitted to being more stubborn than a mule and twice as contrary. He prided himself on being able to outlast, out argue, or just plain irritate anyone on the planet into giving up without raising a single claw or breaking a sweat...until he damn near tripped over the most beautiful woman in the world.
One look…one kiss…one extraordinary night…
Secrets unlocked, Destiny knocking at the door, and a Fate that will not be denied. Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, be prepared for sudden stops, and by all means – buckle up. Fireworks are the least of your worries when one bull-headed dragon and his sassy-since-birth dragoness are faced with saving not only themselves, but everyone and everything they hold dear.
The Universe may not make mistakes, but She doesn’t make things easy either. It’s gonna take claws, class, and a whole lotta sass to save the day this time.
Sass in the City
By Marianne Morea
“Do you still believe things are meant to be?”
Her eyes found his. “Not so much anymore.”
“I didn’t either, but seeing you here... It can’t be just coincidence.”
Solitary is not an option for a Witch like Lael. Not when your best friend is hell-bent on pulling your love life out of moth balls. But for a seer like Lael, stumbling across someone to help turn up the heat is not an easy find. Not until fate blindsides you head long into the last man you ever expected to see again.
You’re not welcome. For Jet Ellis those words were something he’s had to live with for most of his life. Ever since his future went up in smoke the day he was forced from the magical life he was supposed to have. Why? For being a half-blood shifter.
Ten years have passed since and the two are thrown together in place they never expected to be. Old passions ignite, rekindling a fire than never truly died. But revelations from the past force them passed their own misgivings, when the two are threatened. Lives hang in the balance and they must hold onto each as they face a challenge that will either bring them together forever or destroy them for good.
Watch Your Sass
By Melanie James

Everything was going according to plan until a group of vicious rogues set their sights on her. Can she survive what they have planned for her?
Down in the dumps and with no real plan to move forward Emmett Klein finds himself in an unfamiliar position when his Alpha sends him to Blue Creek to help defend the local pack from rogue attacks. Will Emmett snap out of his slump to help those in need or will it be too late?
All About that Sass
By Michele Bardsley
Dying human assassin Cyn Salais agrees to take out a powerful vampire’s ex-lover and his family in exchange for eternal life. But after she crosses the paths of two were-cougars near her target's house, she finds herself clashing with the rough-and-tumble male shifters.
Aris and Kane, shifter soldiers of the Harper were-cougar colony, aren’t used to being taken off-guard much less getting their asses kicked. Now, they’re hot on the trail of the sexy woman whose skilled fighting has them both infuriated and intrigued.
When the two were-cougars catch up to Cyn, her dangerous moves and sassy damned attitude will leave them with one question: Do they kill her or mate with her?
Call Me Sassy
By Olivia Arran
Sophie Keller works hard to make ends meet. She has bills to pay and her Granny is relying on her, leaving her no time to mourn the past. That includes daydreaming about a certain boy and the promises he made, right before he walked away and didn’t look back. Then, a husky voice on the phone interrupts a boring work shift with a strange request, sending her pulse skyrocketing and toes curling. It’s him. The only boy she ever loved. Drake. He’s all grown up and back in town, making new promises that he’ll never leave her side. But this sassy woman isn’t planning on acting like a fool for love again. If he wants her trust, then he’s going to have to work for it. That doesn’t mean they can’t have a little fun while they’re working things out. After all, a woman has needs…
Wolf shifter Drake Silver is the next in line to be the Silver Creek Alpha, so why does he find himself back in Blue Creek chasing a ghost from his past? A sultry voice, a threat, and a surprise encounter leave him with his head spinning and fighting for a second chance with the one woman that he never stopped loving. He had his reasons for leaving her, but between wrestling his wolf for self control and his own doubts, he’s struggling to remember them at all.
But the past doesn’t want to be forgotten. For the pair to have a second chance at love, a lie must be uncovered and a threat eliminated. Or someone might get hurt … again.
The Sweetest Sass
By Alyse Zaftig
My bakery is struck by lightning.
Firefighters show up to fight the blaze during the thunderstorm. Two of them wrap me up in a blanket, give me coffee, and take me home.
We agree to meet the next day.
And the next.
And the…you get the picture. Not surprising when I figure out I’m pregnant.
But they have a secret that they haven’t told me. I’m a boring old human.
They’re not.
Sassy Healing
By Willsin Rowe
Skilled Chicago surgeon Adam Gunnarsson abandoned his wolf heritage—and elitist parents—when heartbreak tore his world apart. And he swore never to let love sink its fangs into him again.
When family commitments lure him home, though, his determination is tested by Simone, a spicy human with more curves than baseball, and the voice of a bourbon-soaked angel.
Pressured by his parents to mate—to a suitable shifter girl, of course—Adam is instead drawn to the sassy singer whose heat seems destined to heal the rift between his two halves.
But as passions rise, so too do tensions. And anyone who’s not a predator becomes, by default, prey.

Six Ways to Get Feedback From Your Readers
Today I'm doing something a little different. When scrolling through social media, the one thing I see most authors complaining about is feedback, or the lack of. An author friend of mine, Dane Cobain, has been kind enough to write an article regarding ways we authors can obtain feedback from our readers. Enjoy!
Six Ways to Get Feedback From Your Readers
Authors love feedback. It comes with the territory. After all, we spend hundreds of hours at the keyboard, writing, editing and marketing our releases, and feedback helps to remind us that there are people out there who appreciate it.
Of course, not all feedback is good feedback. Luckily, even negative reviews can help you to grow as an author, as long as they contain constructive criticism. It helps you to find areas that you can improve, and research shows that negative reviews can even help you to sell more copies.
But it isn’t always easy to pick up feedback, and even when people do take the time to review your work, they often say something simple, like “I liked it.” While that’s all well and good for boosting your ego, it’s not as actionable as “I liked the relationships between the characters but it needed some work on the backstory.”
So how can you go about gathering feedback from your readers? And how can you make sure that it’s feedback that you can act upon? Here are six techniques to get you started.
Ask!
The first thing to do is to ask people – you’d be surprised at how many of your followers will be happy to give you feedback, especially if you ask for specifics. This can be as simple as posting a social media update or as complicated as sending out email marketing messages or paid advertisements. Communicate what you’re looking for – if you want reviews on Amazon, ask! If you want to know what people think of your dialogue, ask! Remember the old adage: if you don’t ask, you don’t get.
Use Calls-To-Action
A call-to-action is essentially a piece of text or a clickable button or image that tells people what you want them to do. They’re usually placed on a prominent area of a website and encourage people to ‘buy now’, ‘click here’ or – in this case – ‘leave feedback’. Web developers (like post sponsors Publishing Addict) can help to add calls-to-action to your author website to encourage visitors to leave feedback, join your mailing list or buy your books.
Use Surveys
Surveys are great because you can define the questions and the types of answer that you’re looking for, and you can examine the data either individually or en masse. Free tools like SurveyMonkey will usually be enough to get the job done, and they offer a unique way of analysing every aspect of your work, from the way that you write to the way that you communicate new releases.
Offer Incentives
Give people a reason to read and comment on your work, even if it’s just a free e-book in exchange for their time. There’s also room to be creative – for example, you could offer some merchandise in exchange for a review, or even the chance to have a character named after the reviewer in a future release. It doesn’t have to be something huge – even a small incentive can make the difference between someone posting a review and them thinking ‘I’ll do it later.’
Team Up
For a different type of feedback, consider teaming up with another author and swapping books with each other. That way, you can both leave comments throughout and go into more depth than you’d see from a typical review, and there’s the added advantage that the two of you will both look at it with a writer’s eyes, effectively providing a lightweight form of conceptual editing.
Act On It
Once you’re starting to receive feedback, you need to act on it. Otherwise, the whole process was an exercise in futility, and when you were asking your readers for feedback, you were really asking them for validation. Feedback without action is useless, but if you take what you’re told and learn from it, your work will improve and your readers will be more likely to provide additional feedback in the future. Make sure that you communicate what you’ve learned so that your readers can see that their feedback is helping out.

Subject Verb Object Anthology - Author Spotlight
Stevyn Colgan SUBJECT
VERB
OBJECT
An Anthology of New Writing
A few days ago, I gave you a brief outline of Subject Verb Object – An Anthology of New Writing. Today, I’m beginning my spotlight of the authors by featuring Stevyn Colgan.
About Stevyn:
Stevyn Colgan is an author, artist, public speaker and oddly-spelled Cornishman. He has been a chef, a comics publisher, a monster maker and – for three decades - a police officer in London, during which time he met three Prime Ministers, two US Presidents and a Pope, was set on fire twice, told to f*ck off by a royal, was kissed by Princess Diana (not the same royal) and let Freddie Mercury wear his helmet. He is a visiting lecturer at a number of UK universities and is a regular speaker at UK and international events such as TED, HybridConf, 5x15, QEDcon, Nudgestock, the Ig Nobel Prizes, Latitude, the Hay Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and many others. He has appeared on numerous podcasts and radio shows including Freakonomics, Do The Right Thing, Ex Libris, No Such Thing As A Fish, Little Atoms and Josie Lawrence’s Short Cuts. He is also one of the ‘Elves’ that research and write the multi award-winning BBC TV series QI and was part of the writing team that won the Rose D’Or for BBC Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity.
Stevyn has a few published works under his belt, however, today, we’re focusing on Why Did The Policeman Cross The Road? – How To Solve Problems Before They Arise.
Blurb:
‘We need more cops like Stevyn Colgan but we also need more writers like him! Why Did the Policeman Cross the Road? is a model of smart storytelling, cunning insight, and pure inspiration.’
- Stephen J Dubner, Co-author Freakonomics, Superfreakonomics, Think Like A freak and When To Rob A Bank.
‘A great guy who you must meet - He took lateral and creative thinking and applied it to bigger social problems. I think there’s a huge opportunity for that kind of thing.’
– Rory Sutherland, President of the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA).
Can lollipops reduce anti-social behaviour? Or wizards halt street gambling? Do fake bus stops protect pensioners? Will organising a dog show stop young people killing each other?
Stevyn Colgan believes that the answer to all of those questions is 'Yes'. Packed with fascinating anecdotes and important questions, this astonishing book reveals the innovative and imaginative ways Colgan tried to prevent crime during his thirty years on the police force.
Colgan worked for twelve of those years as part of a unique team called The Problem Solving Unit. With no budget and laughable resources, they were given an extraordinary brief – to solve problems of crime and disorder that wouldn't respond to traditional policing. They were told they could try anything as long as it wasn't illegal, wasn't immoral, wouldn't bring the police into disrepute, and didn't cost very much.
With amusing, insightful and sometimes controversial approaches to problem solving, Colgan mixes personal anecdotes from his time on the force with real-world examples of how The Problem Solving Unit helped build communities and prevent recurring crime.
At its core, this book's message is simple: police should direct far more effort towards preventing crime before it happens rather than solving crime after it has happened.
Book Excerpt:
‘Roll up! Try your luck! Find the lady and win big money!’
I followed the voice. I wasn’t familiar enough with the various accents of Eastern Europe to tell if the speaker was Polish, Romanian or from the Ukraine. He sounded like an affable Bond villain delivering an expository soliloquy before yanking the secret handle that sends 007 sliding down into the shark tank below.
‘All you have to do is find the lady! Try your luck sir! Madam!’
He was standing behind a makeshift table made from two stacked milk crates and a sheet of corrugated cardboard. On the desktop lay three playing cards face up: two low denomination red suit cards and the Queen of Spades. He deftly flipped the cards face down and shuffled them about. There was a big toothy nicotine grin that came with the voice.
‘Find the Queen‘, he explained to the crowd, ‘Simple, yes? There are only three cards. You have one in three chance!’
But then our eyes met and something sent alarm bells ringing inside him. I was trying to look like a punter but maybe my interest wasn’t sufficiently focussed on the cards. Or maybe he sensed that I was checking him out just a little too thoroughly. In an instant, the cards were whipped off the table and he was off, running pell mell into the crowd of Wembley Market.

An Anthology of New Writing
What is an anthology?
Per dictionary.com, an anthology is a book or other collection of selected writings by various authors, usually in the same literary form, of the same period, or on the same subject.
Subject Verb Object – An Anthology of New Writing is a little different than the defined definition. Instead of having a collection of poems or fiction short stories, there is a beautiful mixture of material. However, the common factor of each contribution is how the pieces came to be and what they’re based on. Dane Cobain, the organizer of the anthology, had the brilliant idea of having each author contribute a subject verb object writing prompt. After the prompts were submitted to Dane, he assigned each author a random prompt. From there, they were given life.
In the coming weeks, I’ll provide you with more in-depth information on the twenty-one authors of Subject Verb Object, and hopefully, you’ll find a new to you author. Today, I’ll provide you with the list of contributors.

Macyn's Awakening Cover Reveal
The last several weeks have been hard because I've been dying to show you the new cover for Macyn's Awakening. Well, the time has come--today is the cover reveal! I hope you like it as much as I do. 
Macyn McIntyre’s search for Richard Jacobs and those involved in her abduction reveals much of her adult life isn’t as she was led to believe. With help from her past and present, she uncovers secrets about those close to her—secrets that may result in certain death for those involved.
New partnerships are forged as others end. Enemies become allies, and friends become enemies. The web of lies carefully constructed by others begins to unravel, allowing Macyn to close in on Jacobs. The deeper she dives into the past, the more she finds herself questioning her actions. Is she doing the right thing? Should she forget about this crazed man and concentrate on her new life with Devon? Death, a marriage proposal, and a phone call will make the decision for her.
Macyn’s Awakening proves life, happiness, and love are worth fighting for.
