I’m very pleased to be able to let you know that book four, The Bond That Saves Us, is now available in print from EC and from Amazon!

Blurb

Captain Amy needs money and the Catallian race can provide it. The race showcases the best pilots the sector has ever known. Amy plans on winning it with the help of her new copilot, the mysterious and sexy Sean—as long as she can keep her sex pheromones in check. But her attraction to Sean kicks her body into overdrive, overwhelming them both.

Sean has left friends and duty behind. Intending to heal mind and spirit, he joins Amy as her bodyguard and copilot. Sean has no interest in forming a bond with Amy, even though their lust for each other is undeniable.

As the two find themselves battling their uncontrollable attraction, they are forced to fight a drug lord intent on fixing the race—even if it means taking Amy and her crew out of the running permanently.

December is flying by at a rapid rate. I can’t believe Christmas is going to be here in two weeks! I guess that means I better get my butt in gear and mail off that box to my sister (she is used to my procrastination).

I’m also shocked that my two December releases are now out!!

Pulled Long

Yes!! This is the third of the Long Shots series, and Ian’s story. I think I’ve received more comments from readers on this one (wondering when it was coming out), more than any other story I’ve done. Well, here he is!

or months, coffee shop owner Ian Long has fantasized about a customer he knows only as “Blue Eyes.” Until he learns Blue Eyes is in the midst of a divorce—the last thing Ian wants is to be the rebound experiment of a straight guy. Giving in to lust, he invites the man into the café after hours and they indulge in a little exhibitionist play, but Ian is unwilling to get involved.

When he’s forced to see Jeff again to return his briefcase, Ian finally agrees to go out on a date. Dinner quickly becomes an erotic encounter in a special room at the sex club Mavericks, and Ian realizes Jeff satisfies desires he didn’t know he had. The more he gets to know Jeff as a person, the harder it is to resist falling for him.

Jeff makes it clear he’s interested in more than just sex. He wants to go public with their relationship in more ways than one. But can Ian open his heart, when he fears it will be broken?

You can get Ian’s story from Carina Press, Amazon, and B&N

Agony/Ecstasy

Last week saw the release of the Agony/Ecstasy I am thrilled to have a story in.

Bruised Ego is the story of Lee, a CEO who uses boxing as a means to relieve stress. He’d discovered that he gets off on the pain and seeks help from Diana, a Domme who shows him that he isn’t a freak.

There are so many amazing stories in this anthology, you won’t be sorry for picking it up! You can order Agony/Ecstasy from Amazon, Chapters and B&N. Or check out your local bookstore!

I’ve also been floored by the generous reviews I’ve been receiving on my recent releases. This review of Pulled Long had me smiling and blushing. This review and this one for A Shot in the Dark had me appreciate that I hit the right cord on the BDSM elements of the story.

And lots of fun! RT Magazine online is doing an erotica show down between the stories in the Agony/Ecstasy anthology! You can read the story breakdowns here, here and here.

Lots more to come for 2012. I’ll give you all an update in a few days.

But while I’m out doing that, I’ll be working on my latest WIP in my head. I’m nearly done the first draft and would like to get everything wrapped up by the end of July. Then, I’ll be taking August off. I hope.

Today marks the print release of Don’t Ask, Never Tell. This is the anthology that Chasing Phoenix will be appearing in. I’m there along side my good friends Wylie Kinson with her story Law Of Averages, and JK Coi and her story The Morning After.

Of course I would hope you would like to read Chasing Phoenix, but if you haven’t read the other two stories in this antho, you really must. Let’s say I’m completely honored to be included in a book with these two lovely ladies.

I’ve also learned that The Bond That Consumes Us is making it’s way to print on Tuesday, July 12th!!! This is book three in the Eternal Bond series, and I think my personal favorite. Taber was one of those characters who came to me complete, brooding and very male. To be able to hold this book in my hands will be a treat I can’t explain.

Finally, I’m excited about Torchwood starting up tonight. Now, I’m still torn. I hated the end of Children of Earth.

SPOILER ALERT – Stop reading if you don’t want to know.

*waiting*

Okay, so Ianto was my favorite character. Yes, I was devastated that he was killed off. That wasn’t my issue with the show. They killed kids. I don’t watch any shows that hurt children. It’s my own personal quirk. There is enough of that shit going on in real life, that I don’t want to see it in my entertainment. I honestly didn’t think I would even want to see the show again.

*okay spoilers done*

However, I’m an addict. And I love Captain Jack. So….much to my husband’s tease about me flip-flopping…I’m going to give Miracle Day a shot. If they behave themselves, I’ll keep watching.

Predictions from me…

Rhys will die by the end of the series.

Knowing me, I’ll post some reactions a bit later on.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Today is actually my husband’s 40th birthday. I met him when he was 17 and he’s been in my life ever since. We had a wonderful party for him on the weekend and today we plan on taking it easy.

Happy Birthday sweetie!!

On Wednesday I’ll be celebrating the release of No Master. This is book three in my Bounty series (space pirates) and I’m scared/excited for it to hit the cyber-world. Writing this book was a love/hate thing for me. It challenged me in many ways as a writer. I wanted the story to be dark, but I needed to make sure I could find a way out for both Korbin and Zain. I hope the end result will be enjoyable for everyone.

I just found out this morning that my novella, Chasing Phoenix, will be available in print on Friday! I’m excited for the story to be in an anthology entitled, Don ‘t Ask, Never Tell,  with my good friends Wylie Kinson and JK Coi. These are all very sexy and fun stories, so I hope you’ll check them out.

Finally, on July 8th the new Torchwood series premiers! Now, we all remember my bitterness toward my favorite show at the end of Children of Earth (still sad), but after two years of mourning, I’ve decided to give it a shot. I mean, Bill Pullman is the villain in this…and I still have a soft spot for John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness. I’ll be doing some spoiler free reaction posts for anyone who cares to see.

Sooooo that’s me this week. As always, you can check out my insane daily musings on Twitter, and see what I’ve been reading over on Goodreads.

Girls Who Bite! the lesbian vampire anthology that my story Bound Lust appears in, is now available for pre-order on Amazon! Not only that, the release date has been moved up to September 13th!!

Here’s the cover and I have to say it’s sexy creepy. I love it.

If you want to help us out and increase the visibility of the book, pop onto Amazon and “Like” the book. This helps move us up the ranks. And hey, if you want to pre-order it too, I won’t say no.

*does a snoopy dance*

*drool*

The release date for the anthology is slated for Tuesday, December 6, 2011. There will be lots of cool bits coming between now and then. Until then, we have the cover…

In Print

I found out on Friday that not one, or two, but three of my Ellora’s Cave books will be coming out in print in 2011! For those of you collecting the paperbacks, both The Bond That Consumes Us and The Bond That Saves Us will be hitting the shelves. I’m also thrilled to have learned that Primal Elements will also be coming out in print! I’ll keep you posted on any other updates.

New Sales

I have a very exciting new sale that I am desperate to announce, but I can’t quite yet. I just received the contract and will be sending it in shortly (must give it a good read through first). Let’s just say I’m VERY excited with this one.

EDIT: Hell, I just read the contract and signed, so I’m going to announce it anyway! I’m thrilled to say that my short story, Bruised Ego, will be in the November 2011 Berkley anthology, Agony and Ecstacy. To say I’m still in shock is an understatement. I have to thank J.K Coi for encouraging (making) me write this story right before the deadline. Even better? Her story also got in!!!

Reviews

Thank you to everyone who has bought and read No Remedy! I have received a ton of emails on this book and many people are also going back to read No Quarter. I had this review from Carla at RomFan Reviews pop up in my Google Alerts. They gave No Remedy a five hunk rating! Thanks to them and please check out their other reviews.

I know I’ve said it before, but to everyone who has taken the time to either place a review on Goodreads, the Ellora’s Cave site, a blog or even sent me an email – THANK YOU! Your comments mean so much to me.

Coming Soon

I have two releases coming out in the next few weeks! Commanding Acquisitions is my first novella in the 1-800-DOM-help series from Ellora’s Cave. Writing this book was like a gift from my (smutty) muse. Simon and Gavin came to me complete (with a bow around their necks) and the story setup really flowed. I am really excited it will be out on November 10th and I hope to have the cover to share with you shortly.

In addition, I have a short story coming out as part of the EC Merry Kinkmas line. My story Firm Touch will be out on December 6th and has to deal with….

*drum roll*

M/M Fisting.

*and waits for the audience to breath again*

I know what you’re thinking, but it is a very thinking/smutty book. According to my beta readers, it’s pretty hot too LOL! I’ll have to wait to see what you all think about it.

In Progress

With all this going on, I’m not slowing down. I am currently working on No Master, which is book three in my space pirate series. This one is dealing with Korbin, the Admiral of the Black and Zain Strand, his second in command. I’m about a third of the way through I am hoping to have it finished by the end of December.

I’ll be working on a different book for NaNoWriMo. I’m still working out all the details, but the book will be three interconnected novellas. Should be a lot of fun.

I also have plans to do a second book for the 1-800-DOM-help series. More on that once I get it done.

Well, that’s me. As always, I’ll keep people posted of updates as they happen. I wish everyone a fantastic week!

One night over coffee we got discussing an idea about writing a book together. Two brothers and two sisters, each falling in love while they fought the bad guys. The end result was a lot of late night writing sessions at Starbucks which gave us Sweet and Spicy Spells!

I have just learned that it is now available in print from Ellora’s Cave. If you buy it now, you can pick this little number up for the low, low price of $8!

Sweet and Spicy Spells

Two sisters, two brothers — and a whole lot of sexy spells.

Kisha hasn’t been able to cast a single correct spell. Not a good thing when you’re a witch. Kisha has two days to master her powers and Foster is the wizard who’s been sent to help. To kick-start her system, Kisha has to discover the uninhibited joys of orgasms, and Foster is more than happy to use his “wand” for the task.

Priscilla is perfect — tall, busty and beautiful. All Hallow’s Eve coincides with the annual Cauldron Cup where Priscilla has to defend her title. What she isn’t expecting is Zack Kane to zap back into her life after five years. Passion flares as spells and clothing fly.

When the siblings uncover a plot to assassinate the members of the witch council, they must put their differences aside to save the council…and themselves.

The Bond That Heals Us
Second in the Eternal Bond series

Sara has been so busy saving the lives of others, her own life has passed her by. But when a mysterious alien captain crash lands his ship on the Eurus colony, Sara feels an unexplained attraction to him and decides to throw herself into an unexpected love affair.

The last thing Davin wants is to walk into a relationship with anyone, let alone a feisty human doctor. But when he is forced to stay on the colony, Davin can’t help but be drawn to Sara’s strength and spirit. As long as he can hide the true nature of his healing abilities from her, everything will be fine.

They tumble headlong into a fiery sexual relationship, drawing closer until events threaten to push them apart permanently. When a group of miners on the planet begins to exhibit unusual behavior, Davin must put his fears aside and work with Sara to save their lives. If he can’t open up to her, all may be lost.

If you have been waiting for this one to come out, you can now purchase it direct from Ellora’s Cave for the fantastic price of $10. Please check out the link here.

I got stuff done! *does a snoopy dance

Today, I managed to get about a 1000 words written on my WIP before heading out to work. It was early morning, so I may have to tweak when I get to read it over tonight. Still, forward motion is positive. I also have a plan for another story that is half done.Been turning that puppy over in my mind all day.

I think what I need to do is make myself a bit of a project plan. What I want to work on and when I hope to have it finished by. I’m a task list kind of girl, so having things to check off makes me happy. I’ll give that a think.

The good news is that the writing is finally happening again. The editing is going well. I should have a release date for The Bond That Saves Us soon. You can pre-order All Bottled Up on both Amazon and Chapters websites (I giggled when I saw that last one), and I’ll have at least one more print book out by October.

I am a happy author today.
