Capturing Her Cover Reveal has a date.

Where has the time gone? November is rushing by. Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday will be here before I'm ready. lol. I've been uploading new items to my store for Christmas gifts. I've released the entire Siri's Heart Series: Boxset: Books 1 -12 for binge reading, and I've got a cover reveal planned for December 4th for Capturing Her. (I can't wait for you to see it! It's SO intriguing! I hope it makes you do a double-take and wonder what the fuck happens in this book?)

Plus, I'm writing Capturing Her and truthfully, that's why I've lost track of time. When I'm in the zone, I totally space out. lol. My hubby can see it on my face. He'll say, "Hey. Come back. I have to ask you something." lol.

Anyhoo, tomorrow I'm off to shoot a local commercial. Yay! Cash! Then next week, I'm off with the family to visit Big Sister in South Florida. She's got a timeshare condo in Orlando, and we're going to go fishing, visit Universal Studios, and see Chris Lane in concert. I'm so looking forward to some downtime. Of course, I'll take "Joyous" (my MacAir) and I'll write when I can. The story is filling in nicely, and I can't wait to finish to share it with y'all!

Ciao for now!

Love y'all hard!

Today marks my Five Year Pubversary!

Today marks my Five Year Pubversary! Woohoo!

Mark Twain — “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

My first novel was titled, Siri’s Heart, and it published on October 17, 2014. When I pushed the publish button, I was nervous, scared, and determined. Writing had never been on my radar except as a bucket list item. But as my story developed, and I came to love my characters, I quickly realized I had found my passion. I had always been a storyteller and avid reader, but I totally sucked balls at grammar. Too many commas and too many run-on sentences made writing a novel feel too intimidating. But with technology and a marvelous editor on board, Siri’s Heart became an Amazon Bestseller and went on to become a romance series.

It’s been a crazy five-year journey. I took the first book, Siri’s Heart, retitled it, Untouchable, then add Unstoppable, Undone, backed up to write Undeniable, and finished it with the finale, Unforgettable. Once the series ended, it needed heavy editing for the flow of the story, so I broke down those five epic novels into twelve less intimidating sized books with new titles and new covers, and made the whole series cohesive. Next, I shifted gears and edited the erotic series into a steamy version, without all the “dirty” words, so my sweet mother would be able to brag to her friends that her daughter (Cindee Bartholomew) was an Amazon Bestselling Author. In the meantime, I wrote Donut Dilemma; I Hope You Dance; Zane, A Scrooged Christmas; Sam, I Am; Flynn, Twisted Together; and on October 2nd, I released, Falling For His Badass.

This summer I asked my Diva Den what I should write next. They responded with another Siri and Aurei story. My heart sang with happiness that they loved my ‘kids’ enough to want a thirteenth book. In preparation for Siri’s Saga becoming a serial series, I again retitled the series, Siri’s Heart, as well as, all the books; Finding Her, Meeting Her, Deceiving Her, Denying Her, Choosing Her, Saving Her, Doubting Her, Taming Her, Claiming Her, Losing Her, and The End of Her. Along with new covers, that I absolutely love. They are fresh and crisp.
To all you wonderful readers who read the very first book, and to all you equally wonderful readers who have joined the journey somewhere along its confusing path, I hope you will continue reading the torrid love affair of Siri Wright and Maximus Aurelius Moore with the next book, Capturing Her.

What can you expect in Capturing Her? ONE HELL OF A THRILLER! This book is going to blow you away! Who will be in Capturing Her? All the characters you love from the original series, plus all the characters from my other books. Yup. You’re going to see Dirk and Piper Sam, Justin Davis and Farrah Ford, Zane and Laura Lockhardt with Batman, Nikolai (Nik) Smirnov and Victoria (Vicki) Powell, and Badass Brody Andrews. Plus, two new characters, Gabriel Webber and Marie Daniels. I can’t effing wait! Can you?

Capturing Her will be available for pre-order on all platforms. Don’t worry that the publication date is so far in advance, I will release it as soon as it’s ready. But this one I am taking my sweet time writing and getting it right!

Here's the Amazon links:

Chapter Excerpt included to tease you.

Visit my website JessikaKlide.com to learn more.

LIZZY HAS TERRIBLE LUCK WITH MEN.
It's not that she doesn't attract good guys, she does. It's that she attracts "decent" men.
Tired of making the wrong choices when it comes to men, Lizzy trusts her best friend Tara to take her away for the weekend. Lizzy knows that if she wants an all-consuming love, she's going to have to take a bigger risk to attract a different type of man.
But this road trip will yield dangerous results. Her panic button will be pushed, and before the first night is over, she will be Falling for His Badass.

Chapter Four: (Edited for language)

Lizzy Mayer
At the entrance to the restaurant, I confirm my reservation with the hostess, then follow her to the table in the middle of the club. There are two couples already seated, so I take one of the two empty seats and introduce myself.
“Hi, I’m Lizzy.”
“Hi Lizzy, I’m Karolina, this is my husband, Frank, my friend Debbie and her husband, Jay.”
“Nice to meet you.”
The cocktail waitress stops by and I order a Sangria Margarita. When I turn my attention back, the four friends are talking about work and how the boss treats the women so unfairly. I listen politely for a few minutes, then decide to visit the ladies’ room before the show starts. As I stand, I ask for directions. “Excuse me, which way is the ladies’ room?”
Debbie glances my way, points behind me, then the friends start to laugh at something Karolina was saying. When I turn to take a step in the direction Debbie indicated, I crash into a wall that utters "Oomph!" And I'm knocked off balance. Before I can take a step to keep from falling backwards onto the table, a pair of warm, strong hands grasps my arms and easily gains control of my whole body, gently guiding me down into my chair while a deep, beautiful tone apologizes. "Excuse me. I thought you were sitting down, not leaving."
I stare up at the wall, dumbfounded, and the wall stares back, amused. Solid. Hard. Massive. Handsome. Scary. My breath vanishes, my heart races, and my entire body begins to tingle.
"Are you okay?" The beautiful deep tone asks.
I close my eyes and nod unable to speak. He’s too hot to handle.
”Did I knock the breath out of you?" He asks concerned. His words caress my mind, while his hands softly, seductively, caress my shoulders.
Physically unable to answer, I simply shake my head. He squats down in front of me to get a closer look. His musk is overwhelming, intoxicating, all man, and I feel lightheaded. His fingers firmly squeeze my shoulders, while his thumbs softly stroke my skin. The tingling created by his touch is electric. Then he asks so softly only I can hear him. “Are you sure, you’re okay?”
I can feel his eyes searching my face, analyzing my response, and my eyes can’t resist. I look into his. They are a deep shade of green, framed by long dark lashes, and my mouth literally waters. I blush furiously under his scrutiny, but I manage to whisper, “I’m fine."
The wall smiles and I melt completely.
* * *

Brody Andrews
Christ. She’s more gorgeous than I thought. Her eyes, her smile, her shyness. Being a Navy SEAL, I’m trained to control my response in any situation, but it’s hard right now playing it cool with her. That dress is killing me. But I saw fear flash in her eyes, and until I can identify why, I have to play it cool. I don’t want to ruin any chance I might have by being too aggressive.
The lights dim as the show begins. A waitress arrives carrying a drink. As I rise, her eyes grow bigger and bigger until I’m towering over her. I see the familiar look of appreciation on her face, as I take the drink from her. “Bring me a Michelob and put this one on my tab.” She nods and walks away.
I turn to Lizzy, lean down as I hand her the drink, and whisper, “Least I can do to apologize is buy your drink. I’m B.A. by the way.”
She carefully takes the drink, and answers. “Thanks. I’m Lizzy."
The emcee begins the story narrative of the Lost Boys, so I pull out the vacant chair and sit. The positioning of it is less than ideal. I’m too far forward to be able to converse with Lizzy. When the first joke is cracked, the room laughs, and I cast a quick glance over my shoulder. Lizzy is watching me and blushes again when our eyes connect. She reaches for her drink and takes a long hit off of it. I look back at the stage and appreciate my position now, knowing I’m close enough to influence her, but not intimidate her.
The cocktail waitress brings my beer, and I stretch my leg out to pull a tip from my pocket. When I lay it on the tray, I tell her. “Bring us another two drinks with our meal.” She nods and walks away.
Lizzy opens her mouth to protest, but the whole transaction is over before she can speak. I give her a wink, tap my bottle on her glass, and raise it slowly waiting on her to accept the toast. When she takes her glass, she raises it in silent salute, then brings it to her perfect pouty mouth. My eyes are glued on those puckered lips, and I can’t wait to feel them doing to me what she’s doing to that straw. When she finishes, she smiles, and I know my thoughts were busted. I grin, raise my bottle to my lips, and let her enjoy the vision too.
The room explodes with laughter and we smile at each other before I turn my attention back to the stage.
