New release - it's here!!!

Whoo hoo! I did it! I went on a writing marathon on my day off and before and after work, and I did it! I beat my deadline of the end of July!

Burn for You is book 1 in the new Gully's Fall BBW Romance series. It's available now on Amazon, All Romance eBooks and Smashwords in different ebook formats. Hopefully be available in Nook and Print soon. I'll let you all know as soon as I do.

As some of you guessed, the hero is a fireman. Now, over here in West Aussie, there are 2 kinds of firemen - the Firies who are in the towns and cities, and the Bushies who are the bushfire mob. I pumped my girlfriend's husband for information, seeing as he's a vollie fire fighter, and he went from being a Firie to a Bushie. Go figure. However, I've taken a few liberties with the story as I didn't want to mix them up, and heck, they live in a small town so I figure that whatever - they are hunky firemen! So I've kept it as authentic as I can. But they're HUNKY FIREMEN and you know what men in uniform do to me!

Sorry, got carried away and started drooling *wiping down keyboard*...and *top of desk*...and *around desk*...

Meanwhile, the big surprise...well, that didn't pan out. Originally, I meant to have this book as two shorter stories, kind of like two novellas. So Gully's Fall was supposed to be a series of duets - two stories in each book. So what happened? I tell you, these characters have a life of their own! Before I knew it, my hero and heroine had gallopped past the word count I'd allowed and turned my novella into a full-length novel!

So it looks like the Gully's Fall series will be full-length novels instead of 2 novellas in each book. Tossed out the Gully's Fall Duet sub title and just went with Gully's Fall

*sigh* I tell you, characters just run rampant sometimes.

Never mind, I guess that means I now have to start working on the next book - another full length novel - in the series!

Just going to have the rest of this week off to catch up on reading and watching some movies ('300: Rise of the Empire' is burning a hole on the bench near the TV waiting for me), then next Mondy I'll start the next book.

For more information on buying, the series, and the remaining three characters I need to write about, it's all on my website www.angelaverdenius.com.

Hope you all enjoy the story!

Debbie Congrats Angela
Can't wait for it to come to the Nook. Soon I hope. Sounds like one "Hot" series.
Debbie


message 6: by Mikaela (new)

Mikaela I'm so torn...do I read this book like a crazed addict? Or draw it out so that it doesn't have to end?

Angela, you've done it again. I LOVE when romance novels have teeth to them - solid plot and real relationship issues. I can't wait to see how you handle Ash's emotional and psychological healing.

My only criticism? It's too short! I want MORE! :D

Thanks Mikaela. Too short? You sound like me when I have a story I've been waiting for - even if it's three times the size of a normal book, it's never long enough for me, either!


message 9: by Silke (new)

Silke Many many thanks to Angela! I was so looking forward to this book, already got it my kindle. Starting tonight.
Btw, I'm also kind of between reading like a lunatic or to draw it out ... In case of Angela's books the lunatic always wins.


message 10: by Angela (new)

Angela Verdenius Hope you like it! I'm biting my fingernails, as always....get so nervous with new releases...

Silke Dear Angela, I have already finished reading the new book and I didn't like it ... I loved it. Again, many thanks for writing such a great book. I hope Riley and Dee will star in the next book. pretty please ;-)

Mephala That's great news! I'm looking forward to read another book from under your pen! This going to be very pleasant summer : )

Amelie I just found out about the new release - on Amazon's Firefighters romance discussion forum, of all places! Which I checked for the first time ... since I started browsing through Amazon's romance forums. There's probably some unseen force that prompted me to go there this one time. But just in case, am signing up for your newsletter Ms Angela. This getting shocked and surprised and excited business cannot be good for my heart! :)

Geez, I nearly had a heart attack at first when I read 'I didn't like it'! LOL Glad you loved it *wink* Ryder and Dee...possibly not the next book, I think Ryder needs to be tortured a little more first!

A hot cop is calling to me right now while Ryder sizzles in the background and Simon just smiles lazily...

LOL - sorry you got shocked! The newsletter is probably a good thing to sign up for, I always announce new releases on there as soon as I have them uploaded to Amazon and other places. I'm also trying to be good by using the blog here to update as I go! (and share my whining with anyone who will listen while I battle my characters)


message 17: by Debbie (new)

Debbie Angela,
Any idea when it will be on the Nook? I check evey day and nothing yet! I can't wait to read it.
Debbie


message 18: by Carla (new)

Carla Reis Thanks Angela! I will have a surgery tomorrow and be at bed for 2 weeks, so this will be the first book of my "rest"! Certainly will be awesome as all of your book. ;)

Wish I knew, Debbie. I just know that Smashwords distributes to Nook, not sure when. I'll keep an eye out, too, for you!

Debbie


message 24: by Kristi (new)

Kristi This book! Wonderful. Loved it my friend. I really enjoyed it. I also could not help but fall in love with Ryder and Dee's interactions. I swear, if I don't read their story soon (and I'm hoping they're going to be lovey-dovey *winkwink*) I'm going to pass out. I seriously...Just loved their interactions. And I totally dig Gully's Fall and its surrounding area and characters. You've done fabulously yet again!
