Lacey and Lethal has a release date - July 24th!

   Lacey and Lethal is the book linked to Scarred and Kilt (Something Wicked This Way Comes - Volume 2) and Mine to Chase. It’s up at Ellorascave. I’m not sure when it will be added to Kindle, Barnes & Noble, and various other sites. I’m sorry I just have the one link. I know some of you had problems reading the excerpt so I’ll walk you through it. Go to this LINK, look at the cover, and click on the magnifying glass on the top right of the book cover. Another window will pop open. Now look at the bottom left side of that window. Excerpt is right there. You click it and it will show up for you.  Blurb   Lacey hunts vampires—vile monsters who leave death and shattered lives in their wake. They murdered her sister and she wants revenge. Until she captures a big, sexy, blue-eyed vamp, and the strong attraction she feels contradicts everything she’s become. But she can’t resist getting closer. Just looking at him makes her mouth water and her thighs clench. Lethal can’t believe the little lass got the better of him. He’s been drugged and chained, but he’s more insulted than concerned. She’s bold, fearless, as she straddles his hips and threatens to use his body, teach him how it feels to be taken without consent. Now he’s intrigued and eager to get her out of her clothes. She swears he’s the enemy, but he’s determined to be her lover.

     In other news...Moon hit the NY Times Bestseller list and USA Today’s lists. Thank you so much!!! Sometimes I can’t believe it when I see my name and my books there. It feels surreal. Honestly. I never thought that so many people would read my books. I had a dream but it never involved any lists. LOL. I’ve come a LONG way from writing in my spare time and bribing my friends to read my books just to get feedback. My friends, a lot of them, don’t really read books so you can imagine how challenging it was to get them to sit down for a few hours. Now I get to do what I love and I just feel so blessed that so many people spend their hard earned money to read what I write. THANK YOU!!! (Ellorascave made this awesome banner. I LOVE EC!!!)   (the click link is THIS)
I bought an office house and its operational. I’m putting in the mega hours to work on books. I’m behind...have been for months. I apologize for that. I got ill and then my private life became a bit hectic. Now I have a place to go without interruptions. No phones (I take my cell for emergencies), no one ringing the doorbell (if they do, I ignore it because it’s just someone selling something), and no cats, kids, or loud noises besides whatever music I’m playing. I’ll be turning in books to my editor by the end of summer. I WILL catch up. It was a long and difficult debate inside my head on  if the added expenses of having an office house were justified. In the end...getting the books written and turned in was my priority. So YES. It is totally worth it. LOL!

Writing isn’t easy but it is fun. You are in a story―typing along...and then bam! Something pulls you out. A noise. A kid coming into my office. Someone calling to talk to me. The cats jumping on my desk and trying to lay on my keyboard or scratching at the back of my chair. I would have to reread everything I’d written to get back into the story...and it’s time consuming. Your head has to be in the right place. Sometimes that’s hard to do with constant distractions. Now I’ll get in some fantastic word count and really move forward with each book. It took time to set everything up at the O.H (office house) but now it’s ready to go.

I’ve seen a drastic increase in the amount of writing and editing I get done. Yippee! I really want to get books out for ALL my series, close a few of them by completing the books I want to write for them, and...launch the new 'not so secret' series that I’ve been talking about for about a year and a half. I am REALLY excited about my ‘not so secret’ series and I’ve gotten amazing feedback from the few people who have read the first book in it. I refuse to launch it until at least five books are completed in that series. Why? I get asked that. I don’t want people who read them to have to wait a long time between those books. It’s tough juggling so many series. It really is. I don’t want to neglect them and unfortunately, there’s only one of me. Cloning...I dream...but it’s not really going to happen. Five of me would be AWESOME. I could assign each clone a series and crack the whip to write. LOL! So with that said, I’m going to write books for the current series and close them out. Cyborgs and New Species will remain open. That means that I don’t have a set amount of books I plan to write for them. I keep adding books to write to those two series.

Riding the Raines - all the brothers, including Trip and Adam WILL get books. I have partials on all of them. Some are over half done. I’m dedicating time to get the next book out to you.
 Mating Heat - The rest of the brothers and Alpha Elroy get books. I have partials and Cousin Brand’s book is almost complete. I’ve gotten a lot of requests for Kane’s book. I’ll probably write that one too.
 Zorn Warriors - Vhon, Coto, and Vinlotti get books. I know some of you want books about their children. I’m seriously considering it but those would come at a later date. Much later.
 Once I close at least one or two of those series out...I should have used up enough of my ‘spare/fun’ time to have finished the first five books in the ‘not so secret’ series...and I’ll put out a book trailer for the series so you get a hint about what it’s about. I can’t wait to upload that video. LOL. I have daydreamed about what it will look like. Those first five books will be turned in at the same time so their release dates are set...you’ll know when to expect them. By the time the 5th one is released...I should have plenty of time to write a few more of them.

I hope that answered a lot of the questions I get about books and what is coming in what series. New Species...there will be a LOT of books. You should see my ‘to write’ list on that series. It’s LONG. Cyborgs...Gene, Sky, Deviant, Mavo...and I keep adding names. Vollis is requested a lot. He’s on the list. In other words...I’m going to be spending a lot of time at the office house and doing what I love―writing!

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and for allowing me to do this by buying my books. You guys ROCK!
