Of Monsters and Love Has a Cover

Here’s the cover for the upcoming Of Monsters and Love, which is the next book in the New Canton Republic series. (Book 5! I can’t believe it. I never imagined a few years ago that I’d write so many stories. But the more stories I write, the more of them I want to write, and I can already tell I’ll never have enough time to write them all.)

Of Monsters and Love book cover

(I had a change of heart on this cover, but I think I’ve settled on this one!) (Or maybe not. I’m thinking of changing it again!)

I’m seriously going to do my best to have this book out by the end of January 2016. I know it’s been a while since the last book in the series and I’d like it to be obvious I haven’t abandoned it. I have way too many story ideas to do that! :)

New Release! Cam’s Fortune Is Available

I’m excited to announce that Cam’s Fortune is already available in several online stores, with more coming soon!

Amazon | All Romance | Google Play | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU … and more.

For the most up to date list of links, visit the page for Cam’s Fortune. :)

Cam's FortuneOnce every three years, humans become sexual prey to a species that has no control over the urge to mate because of a devastating attraction to human scent.

Cam Lujan is on a mission, but an ambush has left him injured and on the run inside the borders of the American Protectorate, where wolves roam free during their heat season, ready to claim any human foolish enough to stick around once heat season starts.

The terrain is rough, the people are treacherous, and the howls carried by the wind are enough to scare any sane man. Cam’s in trouble and he knows it.

But Cam isn’t one to give up easily, and he’ll risk anything not to fail, even the wrath of a powerful alpha who’s ready to mate.

Because Cam doesn’t need a mate, he needs a miracle…

Book 6 in the Wolves’ Heat series.

These books really are best read as a series, in order.

Lots of explicit sex and language in this book, and some darker themes as well. Sorry! Cam had his story to tell, and I couldn’t stop him from telling it his way.

If you pick up a copy of this book, I sincerely thank you! And thank you for taking the time to read my stories!

Cam’s Fortune Is Coming This Month

I don’t have the exact date settled for the release of Cam’s Fortune, but it is coming out this month. November. Only a few months after I’d hoped to have it ready but… I can’t regret it because I’ve loved writing this book! Cam is another favorite and I can’t believe how many imaginary people I’m now in love with. ;)

It’s only going to get worse, because I already love Gerald and Luis and Egan and Mason and Olly and Reed and Ethan and so many others and most of those stories are just floaters in my eye. But hey, if you want me to stop writing these books, send me twenty million USD in big bills and I’ll think about it (while I write the next book). ;) Otherwise, I’m just going to keep writing. There are so many stories left to tell in this world!

All joking aside, I’m very sorry if you prefer books that aren’t an integral part of a larger series, because I don’t think I can write those kinds of books.

This doesn’t even feel long enough to be a post. :o Here it is anyway!

New Release! One to Love Is Available

One to Love (R'H'ani Chronicles, 7)Well, that took a while, but finally, One to Love is available in several ebook stores, with more coming soon.

One to Love is already available at Smashwords, Amazon, Amazon UK, and Google Play. It’ll be live on the other usual stores within the next day or two.

(The best place to find up to date links is on the page for One to Love.)

In New United R’H’ani, everyone knows falling in love inside the harems is risky, but the intimate contact with co-workers makes it easy to fall. Tomas is certain Tyran has done just that, and he’s worried his friend’s heart is about to be broken. Tomas will do whatever he can to lessen Tyran’s pain—even put his own heart at risk.

Enjoy this hot new tale of harem life set in the capital city of R’H’ani, where employment inside Sa’Marckale’s harem offers both challenge and delight for those lucky enough to find love!

If you pick up a copy of the story, thank you so much. I really like this story and I hope you do to!

Next up in The R’H’ani Chronicles is His to Keep, and… it’s not set in R’H’ani! We cross the great Ani ocean to visit Ani’Hain and discover a few secrets about life in another part of their world.

When Will Cam’s Fortune Be Released?

Soonish. I can’t really give a more accurate release date than that because I’m terribly bad at estimating when I’ll finish things. I still have some work to do on this one and the moment I set a deadline is the moment I’ll become blocked and won’t be able to work for the anxiety of knowing the deadline is looming over my head. Sorry about that! I really wish it weren’t so.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if I were the kind of person who could use deadlines as motivation to write faster? It would be wonderful! Alas, that is not me. On top of that, I’m a slow writer compared to many, and I just have to do my best.

That said, I’m still hoping Cam’s Fortune will be published this month (September) in November. Feel free to pester me about it. :) I won’t mind.

Thank you for being interested in my stories! :)

Salvadore’s Luck Trade Paperback Is Available

The trade paperback for Salvadore’s Luck is out early and you can already find it at Amazon! It’ll be in more stores soon, if it’s not already there.

If you read the Salvadore’s Luck ebook and have the time and inclination, I’d love it if you left a review at whatever retailer you use. As of this post, no one’s left a review, and it really does help to have a few reviews up. I don’t like asking people to read my books, so I end up with no reviews. :o I should probably get over that! Anyway, no pressure, just if you feel like it and have the time. Thank you so much if you do!

Next up in paperback is The King’s Gambit and R’H’ani Chronicles Collection 1. They should be available in just a few more weeks.

New Release! Salvadore’s Luck Is Available

Yay! I’m happy to announce that Salvadore’s Luck is now available in several ebook stores, with more coming soon.

Salvadore's Luck (Wolves' Heat book 5)

The book is already available at All Romance, Google Play, and Smashwords, and should be live in the other usual places shortly (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc).

(Best place to find updated links is on the book’s page.)

Once every three years, humans become sexual prey to a species that has no control over the urge to mate because of a devastating attraction to human scent.

Bad luck has dogged Salvadore for far too long, and this time it’s put him in the midst of his worst nightmare. He’s trapped inside the protectorate where the aliens called wolves roam free—and heat season has started. He’s terrified and he has good reason to be: if he doesn’t submit, he’ll end up with teeth at his throat and claws in his spine.

Between the memories that haunt Salvadore and the secrets he carries with him, the chances of him making it out of heat season alive aren’t looking good.

But Salvadore’s about to have the first lucky break he’s had in years…

Book 5 in the Wolves’ Heat series.

This story contains explicit sex, graphic language, and sexual situations that some people might find offensive. Male/Male sexual content. Romance for anyone who likes hot male/male loving, alien mates, and a strong dose of alpha romance!

Next up in the Wolves’ Heat series: Cam’s Fortune. And boy is he a firecracker. ;D

Salvadore’s Luck Is Being Published Today!

Yeah. I was off the mark on a March release date and then again when I thought Salvadore’s Luck would be ready in early April. I’m really sorry about that! The book ended up longer than I expected and it’s now the second longest book in the Wolves’ Heat series.

Salvadore’s story was a little more complicated than I expected when I started it, but I love how it worked out. Someone else surprised me in this book too (I won’t say who because it would be a spoiler!), but I absolutely love what it might mean for a future book in the series. ;)

I’ll be putting links up here on the site as the book goes live in the different stores, so you can check here if that’s easier. Some retailers take longer than other to make books live, so I can’t say exactly when it’ll be available everywhere, but it’ll eventually be in all the usual places. When it’s available in most places, I’ll send out the email notice to anyone who’s signed up to the email notification list.

And if you pick up a copy, I really hope you enjoy Salvadore’s story! :)

Salvadore’s Luck has a cover!

Salvadore’s Luck has a cover—finally. :) I updated the book page but here it is if you want to see it.

Salvadore's Luck (Wolves' Heat book 5)

I’m worried the cover is a little hard to read but I do like it. It looks great on my Kindle. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to look so great on amazon because it’ll be small and when it’s small the text fades into the background.

I’m thinking about having some “people” covers made for the series. What do you think? Should I go for it, or are the current covers fine the way they are? I actually don’t like the idea of putting faces to my fellas or even body types because I have very definite ideas of what they look like, and I don’t want that to interfere with what you might think they look like, but… I do love a well-shaped man on a book cover!

Anyway, I’m so glad to say the book is coming soon. I’ve had several delays that I didn’t expect, but it’s almost ready!
