I'm counting down the days Sheridan!

Yes you do! You are in my acknowledgements, btw. :)

Hey all, If you are planning on going to the party, I'd love it if you would RSVP on the event, here: https://www.goodreads.com/event/show/...

That way Goodreads will remind you and you will get updates on the event.

I really want to know what everyone thinks is happening in this cover. Any guesses? I won't tell you if you are correct though. But I'd love to know how it is perceived.

Haha! :) So funny. If only I were a Vampire, I could have written this so much faster with my super-speed.

Well . . . everyone wanted it quickly. :) I try to accommodate.

Samantha, I'm so glad you made it here. :)

I decided not to do pre-order as it would delay the release by at least two weeks. So you won't find it available on any site for pre-order. I actually don't get it back from the proofer until Sunday, then I need to accept her changes, format it, and publish it in time for the parties. :)

Wendy wrote: "Hi! Can't wait for the release! Do you know if it will be available on Audio the same time?"

Hi Wendy. It definitely will not be on Audio at the same time. :( I'm afraid my confidence level isn't high enough to do it that fast yet. Let me explain. When I do an Audible book, I have to sign a contract with the narrator for seven years. And, the book has to exactly match the Audible or it isn't eligible for Whispersync. So that means once I do the Audible I can't make any changes in the book. At all. Period. For seven years. Because I can't make the narrator change her narration based on any small changes I want to make as a result of reviews. So, sadly, until I've got a few more books under my belt, I'll feel more comfortable waiting until a few months after the reviews start coming in to get the Audible produced. I'd like it to "ruminate" with you all before I make that commitment. I hope you understand.

You knew I would not miss it! :-)"

I admit. I did know this. :) And I love you for it.

Hi Carol-Ann! :) So good to see you!

Steven wrote: "Hello, I am so looking forward to release of the book. Can't wait to read the short about Varg as well."

Thank you Steven. :) I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of it.

Erika wrote: "Hello! Can't wait for the new book and varg story. It will be nice to see if my guesses are correct! :)"

I know everyone has been guessing about Varg. So I asked my readers on Facebook what they wanted as a prize for the release parties and gave them that as an option, that is what the majority wanted. So, I aim to please. :)

Nicole wrote: "Do you know when it will be available on Amazon.de? I can't find it on there yet. Will the special price also be available on there?"

Nicole, It should be available on Amazon DE at the same time as in the US, I think. I post it once and select all the countries I can. Then Amazon processes it and they should all publish at the same time or near the same time. And yes, the special price will be reflected everywhere. I select my settings to base all pricing off of the US price. However, I'm not sure what your price will actually be since I'm not sure what exchange rate Amazon uses. It will definitely be lower that first weekend.

Hi Everyone! :) I'm so glad you made it in. I'm so excited about this party in particular. This is the first time I've done a Goodreads party and this seemed the best way to interact with you all. It should be a lot of fun.

A world unravels and a heroine arises

Psychic Inspector Blue learns the shocking truth: she’s prophesied to destroy the Great Demon Lilith and save all vampires from burning eternally on the Plane of Fire. Worse yet, she will die three deaths during this one life. Jack, her sexy vampire boss, reveals this significant truth at the Dragomira Magical Artifact shop, and Blue is not pleased that she’s the last to know.

Torn, Jack, struggles between hope that Blue will save all their souls and his intense desire to protect her from this terrible destiny. With a vicious serial arsonist plotting fires in Crimson Hollow and several factions of enemies attacking her at every turn, even help from Jack and her massive wolf Varg may not be enough to save her.

Hate grows and the Great Peace Pact that’s unified the different breeds of humans for two millennia threatens to break. The dark prophecy unfolds.

Amid all this turmoil, Jack pushes Blue’s patience to the limit as his eyes vow yes to her, but his delicious mouth murmurs no. She finally puts her foot down and demands he make a decision.

What will he choose? And can she handle the answer?

The Bluebell Kildare series sweeps you into a spellbinding world, so deceptively familiar, yet extraordinarily dark and powerful, fans call for more.

THE BINDING OF THE WOLF



This is a short story that provides the backstory for Blue's guardian wolf Varg who arrives on the scene just in time to save her from an evil villain. In the Light Who Shines we don't know where Varg comes from or how it is he can do magical things. There don't seem to be shifters in this world, so it's all very mysterious.

This story is written in the tone of a fairy tale, because Varg is, and always has been, a wolf from mythology. I've known exactly who he was from the very beginning and now I'm letting you all in on the secret, told my way.

For those who haven't yet read my work, the tone of THE BINDING OF THE WOLF is really nothing like the rest of the series.

WARNING: This story isn't really a complete story by itself. If you have read The Light Who Binds it will fit perfectly as Varg's backstory. If you haven't, it will only serve as a TEASER for The Light Who Binds. You will not be able to read this story alone and walk way satisfied. You will require more.
