Celebrating Mother's Day with Scribbling Women
To celebrate Mother's Day, Hope Tarr, the wonderful editor of Scribbling Women and the Real-Life Romance Heroes Who Love Them, has discounted the book at Amazon to only $0.99 for the ebook and $7.31 for the trade paperback! This sale will last through May 11th. Do take advantage to pick up a copy of this excellent anthology full of heart-felt, real life tales of love. As a bonus, all the money goes to Win, a charity which helps women in need get back on their feet.
For those wondering, ALONG CAME A TIGER is almost ready. Thanks to my wonderful editor squeezing me in despite an unexpected deluge of work landing on her desk, the book is getting close to ready for publication. Keep watching this spot for more details. (Or you can join my newsletter--link on the sidebar--and you'll get an announcement as soon as the book goes live.) Thanks to all of you who've been asking, and a super thanks to everyone who's supported the Tiger Shifters!

COVER REVEAL!
I'm very excited to reveal both the title and the cover for Tiger Shifters #2!
But first, I just want to say, again, thank you so much to all of you who have taken a chance on the Tigers. I so appreciate your support. Thank you to everyone who has bought the book and a very sincere thank you to those of you who have posted reviews, good or bad, so that other readers can decide if this series is something they'd be interested in reading. Thank you!
Now, without further ado, here's the cover for Tiger Shifters #2 ALONG CAME A TIGER
Pretty, huh? *g* And yes, that's a white tiger in the background. Our hero shifts to a white tiger. More on the book--including an official blurb and an official release date--coming soon!
For those of you who are paying attention, the book is going to be released a little later than I hoped. After two months--literally!--of my boys and I trading off illnesses (first the oldest boy has a stomach flu, then the baby is sick, then I get sick just as the oldest gets hit with another stomach flu, then the husband gets sick, then the baby has an ear infection, then oldest boy throws up again... literally TWO MONTHS of this), I got the book to my editor late. The poor woman is soooo busy that we're still deep in edits to make sure the book is the best it can be. So the release will be delayed a little bit. Thank you for your patience! I promise to get it out as soon as it is as perfect as we can make it *g*
And I also promise to work in time for all these illnesses in the future :) (Kindergarten sends home way too many bugs!) As a little tease, Tiger Shifters #3 will be released this fall. And yes, illness time has been figured in to that release schedule *g* Thanks, everyone!
Happy Reading!

Scribbling Women Goes Live!
First I really need to thank all the readers taking a chance on my Tiger Shifters series. Thank you for picking up the book and I hope you enjoy it!
I had a great blog tour. Lots of fun and I hope those following the tour enjoyed it too. Congratulations to Laurie for winning the $30 gift certificate prize!
SCRIBBLNG WOMEN AND THE REAL LIFE ROMANCE HEROES WHO LOVE THEM officially releases on January 27, 2014!! I'm very excited and honored to have been included in this non-fiction book, edited by Hope Tarr, full of stories from fellow romance writers about how they met, married and love their real life heroes. My contribution is the story of how I met my husband in Ireland. Hint, there is whiskey involved.
Here's the official blurb:
In Scribbling Women and the Real-Life Romance Heroes Who Love Them, twenty-eight popular romance fiction writers reveal their real-life stories of how they met, wed and love—and are loved and supported by—their spouses and life partners. At times whimsical and laugh-out-loud funny, at others poignant and bittersweet, all unfailingly inspiring, each essay celebrates that most powerful and sacred of human bonds: love.
Happily Ever After isn’t only the stuff of romance novels and fairy tales. It is every woman’s birthright.
All net sales of the anthology support Win (www.winnyc.org).
AMAZON NOOK SMASHWORDS
For more on the book, you can visit the official website, the Facebook page, or the Twitter account. I hope you'll be interested enough to pick up the book as the stories are fantastic and the cause is worthy.

ONCE UPON A TIGER is OUT NOW!!
The big day has arrived and the first book in my new tiger shapeshifter paranormal romance series is out! I'm so excited. I hope readers will enjoy the tigers too!
Currently, Once Upon a Tiger is on sale at Amazon, Smashwords, Nook and All Romance Ebooks. But look for it at other ebook distributors by next week.
She’ll never run.
Among the tiger shifters, Alexis Tarasova is regarded as fierce and dangerous, with a reputation that would make even the most daring tiger think twice about challenging her. Female tiger shifters may be rare and the mating run a critical part of their species’s survival, but Alexis is the only female Tracker and will not back down, even at the threat of tiger law. She will not be forced to mate. So when a handful of males band together to force her to participate in the run, Alexis chooses to stand her ground and fight instead.
He's forbidden to run.
Outcast from the tiger shifters after a vicious childhood attack left him mute, Victor Romanov has never taken part in the mate run. He’s never particularly cared, though, since the woman he loves refuses to take a mate. However, when he learns Alexis may be in danger, all bets are off. Nothing will keep him from her side.
Together, they’re unmovable.
The chemistry between them burns wickedly hot and forges them into an unbeatable pair. Alexis knows that being with Victor means she will have to break another one of her people’s laws—a move that might push the tigers too far. But, for Victor, she will risk everything, including her life, and do what she thought she’d never do—run.
Keep checking in for more news! And Happy Reading!
