Tuesday’s Random Chatter

What up homies? Hope you had a great weekend and that Monday was kind to you. My weekend was spent finishing up the final draft of my current work in progress. It’s a novel called Soul Stealer, and it is book one in a new series I’m calling the Rock Shifter Fairytales – and just as the name suggests, it’s a series of books about a fictional rock band who also just happen to be sexy shifters! Each book’s storyline is sort of loosely based on a fairytale, and up first is Soul Stealer, which may or may not bear a tiny resemblance to my favorite fairytale of all time, Beauty & the Beast.

I don’t have a cover for this one yet (still working on that), but I do have a tentative release date of December 6, 2015, and I plan on getting the pre-order set up within the next few days. The book is in the editing stage, but I’ll keep you posted on its progress. In the meantime, here’s a tiny excerpt to get you going. Meet Aleigha and Morpheus…

“Ms. Daniels has arrived.” Butler announced her as though she were a guest at a royal dinner, and Aleigha felt on display.

The man at the mixing board turned in his seat and stood up, rising to an imposing height. He was almost as tall as Butler, but nearly triple the valet’s size in sheer muscle mass. Warm brown skin stretched taut over ripples of pecs and abs peeking out beneath the mesh t-shirt he wore, and the long thin braids flowed over his shoulders and down his back. His eyes, sharp and endless, pierced her with the skill of a predator and looked her over from head to toe before meeting her gaze.

“Ms. Daniels, I’m Morpheus Wolfe.”

Aleigha’s breath caught in her throat as her eyes drifted up from the powerful leather covered thighs, over his torso and up to the wickedly handsome face. None of the videos or concert footage had done him one bit of justice. This man wasn’t merely gorgeous, he oozed sex appeal from every pore of his body without even trying.

“They don’t call him sex on legs for nothing, that’s for sure.”

Her friend’s statement made so much sense to her now. Rock star Morpheus Wolfe was the sexiest beast alive.

He extended his hand to her, but Aleigha was lost for a moment, struck dumb by his very presence. He arched an eyebrow at her.

“Uh, yes. Hello. I’m Aleigha Daniels.” She fumbled over her greeting and finally placed her hand in his. The very instant their hands touched the electricity in the studio surged — lights and power flickered, causing the camera crew some distress. Aleigha felt unable to look away, and the slight smile that crossed his lips intrigued her.

“Looks like the storm is getting worse. We should get started.” He let go of her hand but never took his eyes off her.

“Yes, we should,” she echoed, her voice sounding breathy and far away.

Get a hold of yourself, Aleigha!

She heard the words inside her head, but it was difficult to listen when he was looking at her that way.

“So, uh … normally I would be attempting to put my interview subject at ease right now by explaining how things will go, but since we’re on your turf with your camera crew I’m a little out of my element, I’m afraid.”

He gave another ghost of a smile as he watched her.

“Would you like me to attempt to put you at ease, Ms. Daniels?”

Aleigha blushed, turning away to hide the faint redness of her cheeks, and looked around at the crew. Was it the deep, honey-coated voice or the intense way he stared at her that made her belly quiver?

In other news, if for some reason you haven’t read my Lunar Falls Trilogy yet, now is your chance, because I’ve gone and placed the entire trilogy ON SALE for the entire month of October! Why? Well, basically it’s a celebration of the fact that book one in that series released exactly one year ago, on Halloween. And on Oct. 18, 2015, I’m releasing Exiled: A Lunar Falls Novella.

Exiled was a short story based on two minor characters from the trilogy that originally released in the Alphas on the Prowl boxed set earlier this year, and now it will be available on its own beginning on Oct. 18th. And while you wait, you can get the entire Lunar Falls Trilogy for just .99 cents each (ebooks only) from now through Oct. 31. Happy Halloween!
