Its official. My novella Ménage on the Rocks has been contracted by Totally Bound Publishing. It will be published as part of the Three's a Charm anthology. Here are the release dates.

​Three’s a Charm anthology:
Preorder: 16th May
Early Download: 30th May
General Release: 27th June
 
Ménage on the Rocks:
Preorder: 25th July
Early Download: 8th August
General Release: 5th September

​I'm so ecstatic. As many of you know the last few years have been tough for me writing. Its fantastic to feel like I'm moving forward and to be accepted into this anthology is even more exciting. I hope this is just the first of many announcements here of releases to come. Wish me well!

I'm nearly jumping up and down. Sensual Sabotage is available for preorder. Its a little earlier than I was expecting, but in no way is that a bad thing. I hope you'll head on over and take a look. Right now the book is on a 10% discount, but that price won't last forever. So you definitely want to get this book, sooner, rather than later.

I have to say, this is one of my favorite books that I have written. I really have come to love McKenna and her feisty attitude and soft vulnerability so much. And Chris and Sawyer, yummy.

If you like a stand up for herself heroine, two heroes with nerdy brains, bulging biceps and hearts of gold, this is definitely the story for you. And of course, as there often is in many of my books, the prominent use of some handcuffs. Sigh.

I got it in my email today. One of the highlights of my publishing a book, at least for me. A brand new cover. And its a really sexy one too.

Here it is. Isn't it beautiful? I this one is definitely gorgeous and very hot. I love how they incorporated the characters in the foreground. Especially those handcuffs (they play a very prominent role in the story, wink wink).

The story will be released on April 13th and I can't hardly wait. Only twenty days to go!!

I just heard back from Romance Divine and my new short story will be featured in their new anthology. And the best part for all of you. Its absolutely...100%... FREE! 

I don't know exactly when it will be available, certainly in the next few months sometime (probably around the time Owned Forever will be coming out, not bad timing if I do say so myself). I'll post more once I know about the dates and timing, so you can all pick up your own copy in whatever format you prefer. Once I get my author copies it will also be available on my site, along with the audio version. But I know its easier to get on our ereaders if downloaded directly from the provider of choice, so I'll make sure to add those links too.

I hope you'll all stop back by to pick up your own slice of Hot-N-Ready once its available. And hopefully it will wet your appetite for more.

It's now official. Owned for Christmas is under contract with Totally Bound Publishing. It will be available for preorder on November 14th with a digital release of November 28th, perfect for your black friday shopping.

I'm so excited this story has found a home. After my Naughty Holiday List series I thought it would be quite some time before I wrote about a holiday again, but my characters always have a way of proving a liar of me. Kate, Grant and Daniel came to me almost out of nowhere (after reading a submission call, a recurring instance for me, see blog post below), and refused to let me ignore them.

This story explores themes I haven't delved into before, including a menage with two brothers (don't worry, there is no touching between them) and the dissolution of a BDSM relationship and the way that break in trust affects those involved. Plus there's some good kink cowboy tricks thrown in for fun.

I hope you'll stay tuned to learn more about these characters and how this Christmas will be their best ever. More tips and excerpts will be coming soon...

I know it’s late but I wanted to let you all know how my December close out plan ended. Unfortunately I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. Due to a few factors, including family commitments, a funk and the flu. You know, the three Fs. J

I did manager to fix up and submit a short story, Jack the Bodice Ripper. I spent some of my December time, that I had set aside of new works, editing that story and working with the publisher to get it ready for release in less than a month. A feat impossible with most publishers, which is one of the reasons I love Romance Divine. I announced the release a few weeks ago on this blog, though it was in the middle of my flu ridden haze, so I wasn’t capable of much more. It was definitely time well spent, though it cut into my other plans.

I also revised Valentine Next Door and submitted it to Totally Bound. They accepted it this week. I don’t know yet when it will be released, I’ll let you all know as soon as I have more information, but I’m happy dancing all over the place about this one. I can’t wait to see how people react to Miranda and Jeremy. I know I love them, and I hope other people will too.

I’ve also been working hard to finish Second Chance at a Cheerleader. I’ve added another 5,000 words, putting me well above my original goal for the story. And I still have another 10,000 words or so to finish the book. And the last bit is usually the hardest for me to write. I’m hoping to finish the first draft this month. I have so many great Snowedin Stories I want to tell, but I need to complete this one to move on to the others. Not to mention any of the other stories I running around in my head.

As for New Year resolutions. Unlike some previous years, I’m not going to set any goals for myself as far as numbers. I have way too much going on this year and I don’t know yet what I’ll be capable of handling. But I do want to focus on writing as well as I can and finishing as many works as possible in my limited time. I need to get as many of the characters running through my head down on paper as I can. Not to mention bring more reading material for all you fantastic readers.

Other than that, I just want to keep moving forward. I have a lot to accomplish in 2014 personally, and I want to get better at just taking everything one moment at a time, one task at a time, and one red hot romance at a time.

I just got the cover of my upcoming release, Dirty Work. This is the last Naughty Holiday List book, and I love this cover. Not only does it fit well with the other covers, but the two models really embody my characters. I love how manly Garrett looks, and Giselle would definitely wear a tight bun like that.

Dirty Work is scheduled to be out in a little less than a month, on October 24th. I can't wait for Giselle and Garrett to enter the world, almost as much as I'm sad to see this series end.

I just got the new covers for my upcoming release with Total-e-Bound. Aren't the gorgeous! The first cover is for my stand alone story, Working for Him, and the second in for the full Tied to the Billionaire anthology, which includes stories from five other amazing authors. I can't wait to see these covers go live and get a chance to read some of the other stories in this collection. Only a little more than a month to go!

Now that the contract has been signed and submitted I can officially announce that Working For Him was accepted. It will be appearing in Total-e-Bound’s anthology Tied to the Billionaire. It will be available for preorder on July 5th and released for sale two weeks later. It will appear along with five other stories, from five other amazing authors, including Sam Cresant, who I have known and loved for years, and Lisabet Sarai, who encouraged me to submit to Total-e-Bound.

Though this is not my first BDSM story, this is the first to have published that really deals with a BDSM lifestyle couple. While Naughty List dealt with some BDSM themes, it was really more in the line of what an average couple might do in the bedroom. I really enjoyed writing some of the more intense moments and intimate loving moments that goes along with a more devoted BDSM couple, and I will definitely be writing more. 

I’m also putting the finishing touches on Dirty Work, the last in the Naughty
Holiday List Series, and I’m hoping to have it submitted soon. Though it is a
little sad to end this series, I have plenty more stories screaming for attention to keep me company once these ladies are all done, including stories in the two other series I currently have going on.

I hope to have more good news to announce very soon. Until then have a great May and a fantastic June.
