It's Live at Last! Fireworks is now available.

 I haven't been blogging much due to working so hard to complete the fourth and final installment in the Scorched Souls Series - Fireworks . And...drum roll, please! It is now LIVE and ready to read. 

The entire Scorched Souls Series is finished. There will be a very cool, special edition paperback coming in the next couple of weeks, with a bonus chapter. If you have been curious to learn what happens with Boone and Olympia, now is the time. 

Fireworks is just $.99 or FREE for Kindle Unlimited. Also, book one, Firetrap , will be reduced and available as a FREEBIE starting tomorrow, December 28 through December 31. So it is a great time to start the series if you've been waiting for all the books to be completed.

Special Edition Paperback

 
I am working a way on completing Fireworks , book three in the Scorched Souls Series. I can't wait to bring Boone and Olympia's adventure to its exciting conclusion. Once the series is completed, I will be offering a special edition, trade paperback version of the entire series in one place. This will be a BIG book. Well over 400 pages. Who knows...there may even be bonus material, as well. We'll see. Watch for details just in time for the Holidays. 

I am revealing the cover now. Thank you to Laura, at the Book Cover Machine , for creating such awesome covers for this series. 

The Cover Reveal:

Firestorm is LIVE at last!

After a crazy few days dealing with KDP's review/approval process, Firestorm is finally available for your reading pleasure. They initially refused to publish due to the content. Yes, this installment is darker, dirtier, and dangerous, and had some apparent 'trigger' words, but I have read far more graphic books. 

The good news...I made a few, very small changes and it is ready to read. Having a "banned" book for a day or two was rather stressful. I am glad it is over. 

Here are some Book Teasers, and below you will find links to Firestorm on various Amazon sites.

Thank you so much for reading the Scorched Souls Serial-Series. You can expect the fourth and final book -- Fireworks -- to release in late November (sooner if possible). Your reviews and comments mean so much. I would be so grateful if you could take a minute to leave a brief review on Amazon...Goodreads too, if you feel the urge. 
Again thank you and happy reading!

Seven More Days!

Firestorm is almost here! That's right. Book three in the Scorched Souls-Serial-Series is ready to release any day. On October 7, 2015, you will be able to grab the darkest, dirtiest, and most deadly book in the series...so far. I can't believe Boone and Olympia's journey is winding down. After Firestorm , only Fireworks remains.



However, there are some really cool "things" coming when the series is complete sometime in November. One I can share. There will be a collector's edition, trade-paperback book that features all four novellas in one place. There will also be a new cover reveal for that special edition coming soon. I am dying to share the new cover with you! It was created by the original book cover designer for the series: Laura Gordon, with The Book Cover Machine.

My next project has to do with stepbrothers and rock stars. Wait till you meet Shag, in my upcoming book, Bad Beats . He got his nickname from, you guessed it, his 'shagging' skills. More on that project coming soon too.

In the meantime, get ready to read Firestorm and don't forget Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie , the full-length, Dark Fantasy Romance is currently just $.99 and FREE for Kindle Unlimited.




I absolutely LOVE my own personal Unlimited subscription. I can read tons of books for free, free, free - after the $9.99 monthly fee on Amazon! For a reading addict, that's a darn good deal.

Happy Reading Everyone! 

Here is my PS: Remember, please, if you would; take just a few minutes to leave book reviews. As an author, that is so important to me and truly helps readers decide what books to spend their valuable time and money on. If you believe my book/s is worth reading, please let others know. 

Do you enjoy creating BOOK TEASERS?

I can't wait to reveal Firestorm to you guys! I'm sorry it is taking a tad longer then expected. I want it to be perfect. There are so many twists and turns...major surprises to reveal. Make sure to read Firetrap and Firefight first. This is definitely not a standalone series. Each book builds on the previous. Fireworks will be the final installment.

Also, if you are enjoying the series, would you consider helping me spread the word? 

I would love to see what kind of book teaser you can come up with. In fact...how about a TEASER CONTEST . Create a Teaser for Firetr ap, Firefight, or Firestorm or the series as a whole. We'll have folks vote for the WINNER. The winner will get a $20 Amazon Gift Card and a special edition paperback of the series (coming once series is complete). Fine Print: Will need at least 10 entries from 10 contributors to make this a contest, so let your friends know. Final date to enter is October 7, 2015. If you need some pictures or quotes, message me on Facebook . Feel free to grab what you might need in order to create your amazing artwork from my social media sites. 

Good Luck! Can't wait to see those mad design skills at work. REMEMBER; Facebook has nothing to do with this contest/giveaway, it is all on me, the author.

Firestorm

The third book in the Scorched Souls Serial-Series, Firestorm, is coming soon. I need to prepare you...this installment is the darkest of the four books. 

I promise there will be Fireworks once the storm passes, but these characters will go through hell to reach their HEA. Be Warned. 

It's Here! Firefight is LIVE!

Are you ready to get your soul scorched a second time? I hope so! Firefight is now available for just $.99 or FREE for Kindle Unlimited. 

Contest winners were drawn for the PRE-ORDER GIVEAWAY and announced on Facebook. 

Purchase Links for Firefight are provided below the teaser. Happy Reading!

Firefight is almost here!

Hey everyone, I have been so busy finalizing Firefight and starting on Firestorm. Wow...so much to write! And so many fantastic books to read. Ahhhhhh...balancing time can be hard, especially since I still work a full time "day job." Hopefully someday my writing will become my full time job. 

Anyway, I want to share a contest that has only a few days remaining. Two people will win a $25.00 Amazon Gift Card and all my books on Kindle (that means books that are already published and books yet to be written and/or published). 
If you visit this amazing book blog, iScreamBooks you will find all the contest details and other cool stuff about my upcoming book. The contest link is near the bottom of the post. You can also find details on my Facebook Fan Page. 

And...check out three new teasers. 

Amazing Fan-made Trailer for Firetrap!

Check out the new, amazing fan-made trailer for Firetrap. Is Angel talented or what? I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend. You will be able to pre-order Firefight any day now. Can't wait to share book two with you. Until then...happy reading!


What do you think of the trailer? I was thrilled. 

Update: Firetrap is LIVE

Book one in the Scorched Souls Serial-series released on May 28,2015. Book two, Firefight, will be released Mid-August 2015, possibly even sooner. 

We had an amazingly fun RELEASE PARTY, where I was joined by some awesome authors, who generously gave away a number of gifts and prizes. Even as the main "party girl" of the party, I won some books. YAAASSSS! Like everyone, I love to win. 

If you haven't had a chance to read Firetrap yet, now is a great time. At just $.99, it is easy on the budget, and the reviews have been excellent!

Bestselling author, Addison Jane, who just released Harmony, Book One in the Club Girl Diaries (which you need to read!) had the following to say about Firetrap :


What author, Addison Jane has to say about reading Firetrap! Addison Jane‎Firetrap Release PartyI wanted to say thanks to CL Riley for allowing me to crash her party!
I read Firetrap and holy crap, there are a few things you might want to consider having with you while reading this book.
1. A man, shit gets sexy.
2. A lot of time so you don't have to put it down.
3. Water, shit gets hot. Very hot!

She was even kind enough to make the following amazing Teaser for my book!
