NaNWriMo and New Releases

November is traditionally NaNoWriMo month. This is when aspiring novelists from all over the world set the goal to write 50,000 words, or one novel, in a month. 




Lots of established writers jump on the bandwagon too, and why not? Personally, I've found the supportive and encouraging atmosphere great for pushing me to finish my books for deadlines. This year, I will be writing Wicked Games for Entangled publishing. This will be part of a multi-author series coming out in late 2017. If you want to follow me or watch my progress, you can friend me on the NaNoWriMo site here.




I also have a lot of releases coming up this month. The first is Pursued by the Player, the third book in the Black Towers series. This is a series I wrote with Lauren Hawkeye and we both came up with the idea over drinks at a convention. We don't have buy links just yet, but if you check in after November 7th, you can find them here. Here's a little more about the book:
No more athletes for Melody Lerner. Nope. Sweaty, testosterone-riddled men whose idea of “long-term” means spending the night are officially off the menu. It’s time to focus on her fashion design career—and her boss’s get-rich-quick scheme. Fairy tales just don’t happen for women like her.

Wealth and celebrity pretty much guarantee Jett Gorski’s every whim—which is why the pro ballplayer is stunned when a reluctant beauty takes him for a wild ride then runs away. Literally. Jett’s been a long-time player in more ways than one, but Melody could turn him into a one-woman man…if their newfound connection can survive an unexpected betrayal.


The second book is a multi-author boxed set comes out November 15th, but you can preorder it now. If you like paranormal stories with a holiday theme, then this one is for you. You can read more about it or preorder it here, or just check out the video below!

Finally, I have the third book in my Immortal Hungers series releasing on the 17th. Unholy Desires follows Samir, a vigilante  bad-boy introduced in Unholy Cravings. You can read more about the series here, and preorder the book here.




As you can see, November is the month for wrapping up storylines. I'm bringing things to a good resting place in some of my ongoing series so I can start fresh with new ideas in 2017. So how about all of you? Is anyone participating in NaNoWriMo? What series are you hoping to hear more of in 2017? Tell me in the comments section. I want to know!


For up-to-the-minute information about these and other releases, you should sign up for my newsletter here, and you can find out where I'm on social media here.

A New Release and a Special Offer! #RB4U

Where has the summer gone? August is almost here and for some folks in the south, the start of school isn't far behind. I've been enjoying time with family and friends and hope you've been doing the same. Although we don't have big travel plans, there have been some day trips and adventures to local attractions.

On the writing front, I have a lot going on this week. Yesterday, I released the second book in my Immortal Hungers series. Check it out!

Beaten and with no memory of what happened, Soren and Donar are desperate to find out who wants them dead. Only one person can help, a sexy healer who’s lost faith in her powers. The more time they spend with her, the more attracted they are to her luscious curves and quick mind. As they compete for her affections, their memories return, bringing with them a darkness that is hard to control. Now they must put aside their differences or risk losing the only woman who can help them.

Tara feels a strong connection with the handsome men in her care. She wants to heal the evil taint on both their souls, but can only offer peace to one, dooming the other to a life of torment. Who should she choose to save? The longer she waits, the harder the choice, and with the lord of the underworld hunting all three of them, she knows that too much hesitation will cause her to lose them both.

Unholy Cravings is a paranormal MFM menage with moderate kink

Last month, I ran a poll of my newsletter subscribers. Overwhelmingly, they asked for more Kyron Pack books. I was both surprised and overwhelmed with the support for this series. So, in response, I'll be writing more Kyron Pack books in 2017. In preparation for the event, I decided to make the first book in the series FREE for a very limited time. If you hurry, you can try out the series and see what everyone else is talking about!

Desperate to escape her controlling family, Chloe Bradford scrambles up to the housetop of her Texas home on Christmas Eve. There she discovers a sexy stranger cloaked in shadow. He convinces her to shed her good-girl image and give into her most secret desires. When he tries to leave, she follows him, eager to learn his identity.

Zach can’t stop thinking about Chloe, or their reunion on the roof. His wolf-half urges him to reveal his identity and claim her, but he doesn’t dare. For both their sakes, he must remain in the shadows until he can control his inner beast’s bursts of rage. After five years he thought he could handle his curse, but Chloe’s presence causes his control to slip. As the moon-rages become more frequent, he knows he’s slipping toward the insanity that claims many of his kind. Only Chloe can save him, but will she want to after he reveals his identity and the reason he broke her heart so many years ago?

This book contains a paranormal male-female romantic pairing with mild kink.

New Beach Reads for #RB4U fans!




Summer is upon us--finally! One of my favorite things to do during the warmer months is to sit out on my deck with a cool drink and read a great book. I love losing myself in worlds that other people created. When we go on vacation, I bring along four or five books and settle in a comfy lounge chair. Some people don't understand how I can be so sedentary, but in my day-to-day life I'm constantly chasing my two young kids. When I'm on vacation I want to relax!

I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. That's why I always to have one or two books come out early in the sumer months. There's nothing worse than settling in by the pool and discovering you have nothing to read.

So, here are the books that came out this past month. Happy reading!


Nine romance stories of love, lust, and passion from multi-published, award-winning, and best-selling authors.
Genres include: contemporary, fantasy/other world, ménage, BDSM, romantic suspense, paranormal – ALL with a high heat level.
My contribution:
Back to Basics (contemporary scorching) by Suzanne Rock:
Stuck in a dead-end relationship with someone who cares more about image than feelings, Theo Nash has all but given up on love. Then an exotic dancer catches him off guard, and he learns that happiness can strike when you least suspect it. Humiliated and down on her luck, Celeste performs an impulsive act with a man she barely knows, and the results end up being more than she ever dreamed possible.


Learn more about this boxed set here.




Fast-talking career woman Olivia Bremner is at the peak of her profession. Employed by one of the country’s most influential magazines, she spends her days dining with celebs and taking her pick of free products from designers and cosmetic companies. Every woman’s dream job, basically. So what if it’s a little lonely at the top. Success often comes at a price, right?

Nayef “Nayo” Darzi is used to getting his way. The wealthy prince can have any beauty he wants—until danger throws him together with a stubborn American, perhaps the first woman unaffected by his alpha tendencies. Tattooed and contentious women aren’t his thing—normally. But there’s something about Olivia and her sexy curves that makes Nayo want to take a big bit. If he can keep her out of trouble long enough…

A Newsletter Update Means a Unique Opportunity for Readers



I don't know about you, butI have a tendency to forget things. If I don't have a list, or someone to remind me, important things tend to get overlooked.

That's why I think that, as an author, having a newsletter is so important. It allows me to keep in touch with my readers and remind them about important things going on in my writing life. Whether it be a new release, an appearance, or a contest, my subscribers know that they can count on me to get the most current information. Yes, social media and a web presence are important, but with so much competing for our attention, these things can often get missed. I love being able to communicate with my readers via email. 


Over the past month, I've been updating and overhauling my newsletter. It has a new look, a new provider, and is a tad more personal. Now, not only do readers get to learn about my professional side, but they learn a little bit more about me. Readers love to feel involved in the writing process, so I'm also starting to introduce polls that will help me get feedback on my books and which series they love most. In addition, adding exclusive contests and free content to my newsletter schedule so that these readers know just how special they are to me.

Sound time consuming? It is, but my readers are important to me, and I think they're worth it. ;) If you want to sign up for my newsletter and join the fun, you can do so here.

How about you? If you're an author, do you use a newsletter? If you're a reader, do you subscribe to any author newsletters? What are some of the most creative things you have seen authors do with their newsletter subscribers? Tell me about it in the comments section. I want to know!

Now you can get all three Jungle Heat books in one complete set! Purchase now and get it 30% off buying each book individually. See what these bad boy Latino shifters are up to in this exciting, erotic series by NYT and USA Today Best Selling Author, Suzanne Rock!

This three-book boxed set includes Cria, Conquista, and Corazon.

What is Old is New Again




It's funny how things come full circle. When I first started writing, I fell in love with paranormal romance. In fact, the first story I ever published was Spyder's Web (through Loose Id) back in 2009. In my early days, I published several paranormal series, including my famous Kyron Pack, Immortal Hungers and Jungle Heat series.

Then it seemed that the market shifted. People preferred to read contemporary romances over paranormals, and as much as it hurt, I had to put my paranormal romances aside for a while and write what people wanted to read. For several years, I wrote exclusively contemporary romances. They did quite well, but I always missed writing those stories about things that went bump in the night.

I missed them so much in fact that when I got the rights back to several stories, I decided to start writing paranormal romances again. I'm happy to announce that in March I re-released Unholy Pursuits and plan to write more stories in this X-Files type of world in 2016. In April, I'll be compiling all of my Jungle Heat stories into one convenient boxed set where readers can save up to 45% off the retail price (you can preorder it here). 

I can't even tell you how excited I am to be writing paranormal romances again. They are my first love, and it has been energizing to visit these worlds again.

So what does this mean for my contemporary readers? Never fear, I haven't given up on contemporary romances. In fact, I have two Kindle World books coming in June and July (you can read about them here), and will be finishing up my Black Towers Series with Lauren Hawkeye this spring. 

Starting in 2017, it will be my goal to publish six books a year: three in paranormal romance and three in contemporary romance. That way there will be a little something for everyone every year. ;)

So tell me, do you prefer paranormal romances or contemporary romances. Or, like me, do you like to read them both. Tell me about it in the comments section. I'd love to hear from you!

What's Old is New Again




It's funny how trends change. For example, bell bottoms in the seventies were all the rage. Then they were shunned in the eighties and laughed at in the nineties. By the time 2000 rolled around, pants that weren't tight around the thigh and wide around the ankles were flying off the shelves. Now once more the fad seems to be fading in favor of something new - the skinny jean, which is tight all over (shudder).

Trends come and go in books, too.When I started writing in 2008, paranormal romance was all the rage, thanks mostly to the Twilight saga.  Small town contemporary romances were out and vampires were in. Then, within a few short years, things reversed. Small town romances were in abundance and it became very difficult to find a good vampire story.

Now it seems as if the scales are tipping back the other way once more. I'm a huge lover of all things paranormal so I'm excited to see this subgenre start to gain traction once more. Recently I got the rights back to two stories that didn't get much attention because the genre wasn't very popular at the time. It had always saddened me because these were good stories, just not popular or trendy topics. Not only will I be updating and re-releasing these stories in 2016, but I'll be continuing the series. I hope that you enjoy this X-Files type series as much as I do!

So tell me, what type of fad do you hope to see become popular again? Tell me in the comments. I'd love ot hear from you!

Here's a little more about my Immortal Hungers series:









The portal between earth and hell are guarded by an ancient, mystical race, called the Iatros. These fairy-like soldiers protect humans from the creatures of the underworld by preventing their passage to Earth. For years they have worked in secret, until a demon lord finds a way to neutralize their powers and strengthen his own. He uses this new-found magic to form a relic called the demon stone and uses it to gain access to Earth.

The Iatros are unable to fight the strengthening demons on their own, and in desperation recruit the paranormal investigation unit of the FBI to help. This unit, led by the sexy and egotistical Darien Lange, belittle the Iatros‘ powers and believe that they can defeat the demons on their own.

*Note: Books one and two were previously released, and have been updated. Book three is ALL NEW.*

A Little Bit Thankful. . .

It’s been quite the month, hasn’t it? So much has happened. I’m not even sure where to begin, lol.

On a global level, we had several terrorist attacks, the most famous were the attacks in Paris. I don’t know about anyone else, but watching the news unfold on television and social media made me realize just how thankful I was for family living close by and my health.

On a national level, we celebrated both Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving, two holidays that make us reflective and grateful for what we have. We always have Thanksgiving at our house, and it's nice to have all of us under one roof - even if it's only for a little while.

On a personal level, my oldest’s Cross Country Team finished for the year, and her Basketball team started practice. I was very thankful that he basketball schedule is a little less demanding than her running schedule. She also managed to finish a major school project about her ancestors, a project that made me realize just how far we have come from our humble roots.

On a professional level, I got some big news on two fronts, neither of which I’m allowed to share yet. (dang it!) If you want to be one of the first to know, then you might want to sign up for my newsletter here. I’llannounce it here first, as well as give subscribers a special surprise inDecember. So stay tuned!

The news has made me reflective as to how far I have since I started writing in 2008, and all of the amazing friendships I have made along the way. So I’d love to take a moment now to thank all of you, writers and readers, for an amazing 2015. Here’s hoping that 2016 is even better!


How about you? Is there anything you’re thankful for this holiday season? Tell me about it in the comments section. I’d love to hear from you!
