Audio Books
Here is a link to all the audio books I have that are currently available and the coming soon ones as well.
Q: Why aren’t all my titles currently available in Audio book format?
A:
1. This process is a long one and very involved.
2. Cost. Though I’m considered a hybrid author (Small press + NY + indie/self), the cost of audio falls squarely on my shoulders. Narration/production/proofing adds up fast.
3. That being said, I am working VERY hard to get all of my back list into audio format. It won’t happen overnight but please know that I am working hard on it. By the end of this year I will have gone from having 2 audio books to having 17. That is a BIG step. I’m hoping that by the end of 2015 I have another 15-20 in audio as well.
Thanks everyone for your interest in my audio books. I’m SOOOO excited that they are doing well. And I love that I’m reaching new readers through them. The good news is, if they sell well that will mean I can put even more into production as I’m currently rolling profits from them back into audio book creation.

Just Released: Administrative Control (Immortal Ops 6)
Just Released!
Administrative Control (Immortal Ops Book 6) by Mandy M. Roth
Novella
No one knows just how powerful Colonel Asher Brooks is. It’s
a secret he’s fond of keeping. As point person for the Immortal Ops, he has seen just about everything the supernatural community has to offer. That is, until he arrives on the docks in Seattle to find a mess his men didn’t make. Something big is going down there and it means business. His concern is for Jinx, a leggy redheaded succubus who calls the area home. He’s spent centuries denying what he knows to be true, thinking he’s keeping his woman safe and that it’s for the best.
When Jinx calls to tell him she has information for him, he worries the woman who drives him mad with lust might be in danger. He’ll do anything to protect her, even if that means claiming her for his own, whether she’s up for being claimed or not.
Book intended for mature audiences.

New Author Photos
Well, I finally broke down and had some new author photos taken. My others are from 2010, which isn’t that old, but I thought I’d go ahead and just get them updated. Easier said than done. I cried and had some hysterics during the photos. I know that I’m down from a 44.5 inch waist to just under a 41 but I really wanted to be smaller for my author pics. My poor husband had to hug me and tell me that I was beautiful no matter what size I am. I, of course, got mad at him.
Mandy logic here, folks. Mandy logic.
Took a lot of courage for me to post these, especially a full body pic.

Sacred Places: An Immortal Highlander Novella by Mandy M. Roth
Releases on Nook, ARE Romance, iTunes Aug 2014
Book One in the Druid Series
Sometimes fated love requires some good old-fashioned magikal meddling.
Coyle O’Caha, a seven-hundred-year-old immortal, druid
sorcerer, is a famed warrior among his kind and a legendary ladies’ man–but
that doesn’t mean he hasn’t spent his life looking for his soulmate. That one
woman who will make him feel whole. When Deri walks into his seaside pub, clearly
running from something or someone, it’s all he can do to not sweep her off her
feet and claim her right then and there. It’s as if the goddess is mocking him.
Not only is his mate immune to his charms
and his magik, she’s human.
Deri Sullivan’s new boss has a Scottish lilt that makes her
knees weak. The problem is he’s a certified ladies’ man. And she’s sworn off
those types–for good. If only she could stop dreaming about him in ways that
would make any girl blush. See, she has a secret, and even if she wanted to let
Coyle into her bed, she couldn’t actually let him into her life. Witches and
humans simply don’t mix.

We are all mad here…
So I’m back from my trip to Florida. Managed to sneak in a trip to Disney World while there. I did some damage in the gift shops, buying myself some dolls (villains, of course), over 20 large coffee mugs, an Ewok backpack, hats and so many tshirts I lost count (in my defense it was Star Wars weekneds so had to stock up on Star Wars shirts).
I’m wrapping up second rounds of edits on Sacred Places and then its off for a final line edit, then to the formatter and up for release.
The Roth house is pretty much under construction. Our air units went (in a brand new build). Those needed addressed and fixed. We’re having the driveway expanded because it was too small when we bought the place, the back patio extended, drainage issue addressed and the back porch screened in. These were all projects we budged for when we purchased it in Oct but are just now getting done–in the middle of deadline hell for me. [image error]
But, as I have often said “There is no crying in publishing”. You do what you have to do regardless.
PS: I sprained my ankle at Disney. It was the size of a grapefruit… still, I work on [image error]

Love Potions by Michelle M. Pillow
A Warlocks MacGregor Novel
Contemporary Scottish Magickal Romance
A little magickal mischief never hurt anyone…
Erik MacGregor, from a clan of ancient Scottish warlocks, isn’t looking for love. After centuries, it’s not even a consideration…until he moves in next door to Lydia Barratt. It’s clear that the shy beauty wants nothing to do with him, but he’s drawn to her nonetheless and determined to win her over.
Lydia Barratt just wants to be left alone to grow flowers and make lotions in her old Victorian house. The last thing she needs is a demanding Scottish man meddling in her private life. Just because he’s gorgeous and totally rocks a kilt doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for his seductive manner.
But Erik won’t give up and just as Lydia let’s her guard down, his sister decides to get involved. Her little love potion prank goes terribly wrong, making Lydia the target of his sudden embarrassingly obsessive behavior. They’ll have to find a way to pull Erik out of the spell fast when it becomes clear that Lydia has more than a lovesick warlock to worry about. Evil lurks within the shadows and it plans to use Lydia, alive or dead, to take out Erik and his clan for good.
