Thanks Amazon and other 3rd party vendors
Amazon has been VERY good to me (so have the other vendors I’m with). They have stood behind me as an indie author and allowed me the freedom to reach a wider audience. I’m incredibly thankful for them. They are one of my largest vendors and I honestly have nothing bad to say about them. Wait–I do a lot of shopping through them so I’m thinking my bank account would like it if I did slow that down. LOL
Seriously, they’ve opened the doors to foreign markets for me too which is huge. I really cannot state just how big this was for indie authors.
I’ve been doing this ten years. I can remember when your only option for sales of ebooks was directly through the publisher and that was all. When you’re talking a small press, that reach is very small compared (very small) to all the readers in the world.
Things have changed–doors have opened for authors AND readers.
I’ve been with a lot of publishers and vendors–some good, some not so good–I’m not going to bash any of them. I’m just going to say thank Amazon, BN, iTunes, ARE Romance and Smashwords for allowing me to reach a wider audience, for giving me the chance to reach readers in an affordable way and to do so quickly and most of the time with ease.
Show your Amazon and third party vendors love here!

Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore
Friends to lovers… I love this theme. I really do. For some reason I love the idea that two friends can wake up one day and realize they love each other. Who is with me on this?
Executive Decision is just one of my books that has this theme. I have many more!

Part of the Bestselling Series World The Immortal Ops by Mandy M. Roth
Paranormal Shifter Military Special Ops Romance
Paranormal Security and Intelligence Operative Duke Marlow has a new mission: find, interrogate and possibly eliminate the target—Mercy Deluca. He knows looks can be deceiving, but it’s hard to believe the beautifully quirky woman running around in a superhero t-shirt is a viable threat. The sexy little biomedical engineer quickly proves she is more than he bargained for and Intel has it all wrong—she’s not the enemy. Far from it. Intel also forgot to mention one vital piece of information—she’s Duke’s mate. This immortal alpha werewolf doesn’t take kindly to her being in danger.
When Mercy accepted a position within The Corporation she thought it was to help cure disease and to make a difference for mankind. She had no idea what her new career path truly entailed—monsters masquerading under the guise of scientific research. Unable to stomach the atrocities she’s uncovered, she reaches out through what she hopes is the proper channels, asking for help. Mercy gets more than she bargains for when a team of paranormal hotties shows up on her doorstep ready to take down The Corporation. One in particular seems to be able to get under skin, both aggravating her and exciting her in ways she can’t explain.

Dare to Be Different: Say no to bullies!
Lil R Boy could use some words of encouragement. I normally do not ever talk about my social media or my blog with him and he’s not allowed to have a FB or Twitter account. I’m sure you all know he gets bullied and that kids can be cruel and have pack mentalities.
He came home yesterday asking how he could be less of a target for them and it broke my heart. I had explain to him that he’s targeted because he’s got a big heart, because he’s different and because they see that as a weakness.
IT IS NOT.
So I ask all of you if you get a second to comment here, letting him know you can dare to be different, you can be a caring person, you can consider other people’s feelings, you can think out of the box and none of that makes you weak. It makes you a better person.
I will read these to him each morning before he leaves for school (be mindful he just turned 13 so they will need to be age appropriate comments).
Thank you!

Three Smokin’ Hot Paranormal Romance Novels in one $.99 BOX SET!
CONTAINS:
Demonic Desires by #1 Amazon Bestselling Paranormal Romance Author Mandy M. Roth
M/F Erotic Paranormal Romance
Reform isn’t in every bad boy’s future…or past…
Ava Fenaly knows a thing or two about magik, and she knows exactly what she’s doing when she summons a demon in her bedroom. Well, almost. Ava is convinced the exhilarating night of passion that follows is all a dream. It has to be, because she’s dead set against revisiting her past–and the horrors she left behind long ago.
For the last three hundred plus years, Donatus Manlian has been living a peaceful life. Lonely, but peaceful. When the demon he has kept carefully locked within for centuries finally breaks free and responds to Ava’s call, the peace–and the loneliness–are gone. Now Donatus is forced to revisit tragedies long buried as he protects Ava from the evil that pursues her. But another evil lies within him–and now that it’s been awakened, the demon wants free.
Trading Teon by Reagan Hawk
M/F/M Erotic Sci-Fi/Paranormal
Garon and Lorne, shapeshifting males of the Ralenium race, are fierce guns for hire in the universe. When a cargo ship transporting women charged with crimes by the Galactic Star Union arrives on their planet, the men make the traders an offer they can’t refuse. Planet Ralen is sorely lacking in women, and the males have an inborn desire to dominate, to tame females and to reproduce. When their inner beasts’ clocks start ticking and the burning need to spread their seed consumes them, they go on the hunt for the perfect female. Too bad both men want the same woman.
Teon, a lady with a place in high society, thought life as she knew it was over when she was wrongfully charged with a crime by her stepmother. A prisoner en route to a barren planet to serve her sentence, she’s presented with an opportunity to start over again on the planet Ralen. The catch is she has to be willing to be claimed by two males. Not just any males mind you, two burning hunks who are ready to fight to the death if need be to share her bed.
Their Virgin Slayer by Darby London
M/F/M Erotic Paranormal Romance
Two brothers, one demon slayer… one hell of a good time!
Keane has lived for centuries–taking what he wants, doing as he pleases. When a beautiful young woman catches his attention, he finds himself drawn to her like a moth to a flame. He knows better than to expect more than pleasures of the flesh from her yet he can’t seem to stop himself. Seducing her will prove to be a dangerous challenge. Keeping her will prove near impossible.
Hannah’s new secret admirer is more than she bargained for. As a slayer sworn to police the demons who dare to roam the earth she has enough to worry about. She doesn’t need some mysterious guy trying to seduce her–especially one who puts her at odds with what she was born to do. She’s no match for Keane’s seductive powers and when his brother joins in the fun she knows she’s in over her head.

Unedited Excerpt from Tactical Magik (Immortal Ops)
This is an unedited excerpt from Tactical Magik (Immortal Ops). Sorry that I don’t, as of yet, have an edited one. The book is with the final line editor.
(c) copyright Mandy M. Roth
“I said I was sorry,” Geoffroi “Roi” Majors stated as he glanced back at Eadan from the front passenger seat of the Hum-V. The vehicle that currently held five not-so-small guys was hardly inconspicuous. It was also less than comfortable. They stuck out like sore thumbs and Eadan Daly had to question the wisdom of this being their getaway vehicle. This one wasn’t reinforced to help stop bullets. It seemed a lot like tissue paper at the moment. Pretty much all it had going for it was cool factor. One that screamed government or paramilitary group. A blinking sign on the top would only make it worse.
Shoot here. There is a better than average chance you’ll hit your target.
With the entrance Lukian had been forced to make to get to them, they might as well have sent out engraved invitations to the enemy to come shoot at them there. Would have proved as effective.
“This thing go any faster?” Wilson asked, fidgeting in his seat.
Lukian didn’t comment. He merely glanced at the rearview mirror. His glare was enough of a response.
Eadan’s ears were still ringing from the hail of gunfire around them. Had he not assisted with his magik, they’d be picking lead out of his ass.
Out of all their asses.
He’d expended more power than he should have but it was required. Unfortunately, he’d be feeling the ill effects of that much usage for probably a week or more. Unless he met up with a hottie at a bar and spent the night rockin’ her world. Sexual energy would speed his ability to rebuild his natural-born power base.
He looked to his left at his fellow Immortal Ops teammates, Jon and Wilson. Jon shook his head, indicating they should not accept this apology from Roi either. They’d been steadily rejecting Roi’s attempts to make amends for the past twenty minutes.
Wilson tapped his fingers on the doorframe, an annoyed breath easing from his lips. “You left without us. In a hostile zone, mind you. Might as well have painted a damn target on us yourself.”
“No,” Roi protested, twisting in the seat. His dark hair fell partially onto his face. “I told you already I thought Lukian was getting you. And see, he got you.”
Lukian, the team captain, snorted as he drove. He tended to be on the quiet side yet always managed to get his point across. Eadan had been unsure how to read him at first but was learning more and more each day.
“What?” Roi grunted and tossed his hands in the air. “Fine. I wasn’t listening during the briefing because I was exhausted.”
Green’s voice came over their comms unit earpieces. “Stop worrying. Your wife and your girls will be fine.”
Roi shifted around in his seat as he tapped his wrist and spoke into his comms piece. “You’re the one who told me it’s uncommon for a woman pregnant with twins to go to term. That means I could become a father any day now. I’m not ready yet. I only just got the nursery finished. I haven’t set up college funds for them yet. I didn’t…”
Roi was going to spiral out of control again. He’d been doing that more and more of late. Seemed as if the prospect of fatherhood was going to do what the enemy couldn’t—kill him.
Lukian reached over as he continued to drive and touched Roi’s arm. “Relax, brother. There is plenty of time for all that.”
“Why am I the only one freaking out? Your wife is due soon too,” Roi said, sounding frantic.
Eadan held back a groan. All this talk of pregnancies was getting on his last damn nerve.
Green’s chuckle echoed through their earpieces. He was currently tucked away in a tiny location the team had preselected as base during their current mission. Green was their eyes and ears on everything else going on, a technical guru who also happened to be the best at patching them up when need be.
“Peren has another two months. Missy, with the twins, probably won’t go that long. Melanie has two and half months left and Kim has—”
Wilson leaned forward. “Just under five months left.”
Eadan nudged Jon. “Is it just me or have our missions deteriorated into recipe swaps and what-to-expect-when-your-mate-is-expecting moments?”
“No,” Jon said, his eyes widening. He looked almost scared, as if he too might catch the bug to discuss upcoming babies. “It’s not just you.”

Literary Snobbery
Reading a book is reading a book. I don’t care the genre. To demonize or trivialize any genre is bad for the writing community as a whole.
