The End of Winter Wishful Thinking
The temperature actually got up to 73 degrees the other day! Then it dropped to around 10 degrees two days later killing all hope for an early Spring. But, we're in a drought so even snow would be welcome at this time. I'm a glass half-full type of gal so I've been cheering myself up with reasons why I'm glad it's still winter.

First, I don't have time to garden right now as woohoo, NATE'S NAUGHTY NYMPH the 5th book in The Doms of Club Mystique series is on pre-order at www.Bookstrand.com/nates-naughty-nymph It will be released on Feb. 24, 2015.
*
Second, I'm busy working on the first three books in a new steamy, sci fi series, ZARRONIAN WARRIORS. The first book, VALAN'S BONDMATE, will be released in March 2015 on great places like Amazon.
*
Third, I'm busy working on book two and three in the Zarronian Warriors series. THORN'S BONDMATE scheduled for release in April 2015 and SOREN'S BONDMATE in May 2015.
*
Are you seeing a pattern here? I may not have time for Spring gardening. Sure hope those perennials I planted last year survived the winter. In the meantime, don't miss NATE'S NAUGHTY NYMPH...you won't believe who's back! Happy reading.

The Ramsey Doms and More
The final book for the five Ramsey brothers came out today 05/07/15 - THE RAMSEY DOMS. But, don't worry they will still make appearances in upcoming books, starting with Thor Larkin's book this summer (hopefully).
*
In the meantime, I have a steamy sci-fi romance, VALAN'S BONDMATE (Zarronian Warriors 1) coming out on May 14, 2015 at Amazon, etc. Here's the blurb - see what you think:
Valan Eirikson's death is imminent unless he finds a compatible female to cool the mating fever that plagues the Zarronian warriors and is burning out of control in his body.
Lia ad-San's sire agreed to trade her to a Wrothian warrior she despises. Before she can escape she's abducted by a Zarronian warrior. Unaware that her sire caused the deaths of the Zarronian females, including Valan's mother and twin sister, she reveals her identity and demands to be freed
Enraged to be bonded to the daughter of his most hated enemy, Valan treats Lia as a prisoner rather than a beloved bondmate. When his warriors learn her identity they demand she be punished for her sire's war crimes. Valan realizes too late that he's endangered his mate's life. The fever they share will keep them together but only love can make them want each other.
*
Other than writing it's gardening season and my roses are so beautiful this year. I finally found a ceramic school near me and I'm making teapot and cup sets to give away to friends. Also, the local drive-in has opened so I'm looking forward to loading the car with a bag of homemade cheese popcorn and a pitcher of sweet tea. Maybe a little candy too. There are some good ones coming out and I can hardly wait.

Hope you're having a great spring and looking forward to a fun summer.
Happy reading,
Mardi

Soren's Bondmate -APB (All Points Bulletin)
The leaves are falling and the air has finally cooled off and I thought by now I'd be writing Ronin's book. But, no, here I am putting the finishing touches on Soren and Skye's story. It was supposed to be out in August, then it got moved back to September and now I'm aiming for late October 2015.
*
My grandmother always said don't count your eggs before they're hatched. I should have remembered those wise old words but life with a capital L caught up to me and took me away from my desk for several months. I think that's called my just desserts.
*
I'm so sorry to disappoint my readers. Believe me when I say I appreciate my good fortune to have so many people who love my books and look forward to reading them.
*
Once again I'm so sorry and I hope you all fall in love with Soren when you read his story. I know I have.
Happy reading,

STONE - A Time to Love
Spring is a time of change so I decided to start a new series. STONE (A Time to Love Book 1) is a time travel sci-fi romance. It goes on Amazon pre-order beginning Sunday, March 6, 2016 at a discounted price of $1.99. (Psst...don't tell anyone but the price will increase to $2.99 on the release date of March 31. 2016). There are several books out with the title (STONE) so be sure to look for the one with my name on it. :-)
Here's the blurb:
In 2230 Earth was invaded by an alien species. After years of war, the men are gone and the women are left to fight for the survival of the human race. When one of the aliens’ time travel devices is discovered a task force is formed to bring some of Earth’s most elite soldiers into the future.
Lieutenant Sunny Blake is ordered to travel back to 2125 and retrieve Lieutenant Jefferson W. Stone. Sunny can lead a squad of fighters and keep them alive, but she’s never had to deal with a man like Stone. A man whose reputation on and off the battlefield has proceeded him into the twenty-third century.
Stone has two interests. High-risk missions and lust-filled nights of pleasure with the many ladies who pursue him. Finding himself thrust into the future, where the women know how to fight but don’t know what to do with a lusty man, is the last place he’d ever want to be.
*
I finished STONE's book so now I'm back on the Zarronian Bondmate series working on Ronin's book. Then, I'll be working on the second book in the new series.
What else is going on? Well, the weather is heating up and its almost time to plant a garden. This year I'm so busy I've decided to only plant tomatoes and maybe a few green beans. Two crops that are easy to harvest and will give me a reason to go outside while the sun is shining. Other than that I plan to get in a lot of writing with a little fishing and some swimming as soon as the water warms up.
I hope you have great plans for the spring.
Happy reading.
